Ever since the completion of the Wilminor. ton & Raleigh Rail Road, the Stockholders Khd others interested in this work have de sired a -connection by Railway with the Southern Improvement, and very naturally Charleston wai at first looked to as the point fr makin this connection, and her citizens tvre invited to lend a neiping nanu 10 con ... ..!LUK 1 I ... Btirnate tllH uesiruou; i-nu. xj appointed to visit Charleston a .Delegates were and confer with councils, and an effort. 'was 'made to induce 'the city "to become interested, at least to' n sufficient extent to have a survey and esti mates of the' cost of the project made ; a town meeting was called and the matter referred to a committee, and this committee reported and in substance anvised the indefinite post- ftln cnhiirt rriiH nrdir.V llipn' advocrtted hy Charleston that it was impor tant to otH r every facility to travellers from the Mouth and West to reach their City, and lo have as few channels as possible to ena Me'lhem to proceed .nertlnvard : ' If." said they. t:we can bring tb'ern to the 'Gily it is possie that after looking at our goods and merchandise they may be induced to purchase - rather than proceed farther "north." I' It was' this doctrine thni led them to irivft 1 the cold shoulder to the Wilmington & Ra'l tiV!i Rail lload, and turn a deaf ear to Rail way connection with Wilmington. The result ot this want of encouragement in Jbrrning the connection has been the Wil riiington and Manchester Rail Road, which are assured will be pushed vigorously forward to -completion and which the citi 2nisi of Charleston begin to fear will not only divert the through travel from thei-eity hut take the freight from one of the moat fer tile valleys in their State and carry it into our market. The Hotel. Dray, and Omni bus interest, and a small portion of the factors-are alarmed and are using'every means th raise the capital to construct' the- North Eastern Rail lload. -and thus tap the Wil mi'tgton and Manchester-Rail Road at its most productive point, and if possible break it down to build up the city of Charleston. The contest is begfaninir 10 be narrowed down to a rivalry between Wilmington & Charles ton for the trade o fit he Pee Dee Valley, and for one I am hcarUily .gl -d tu -.ee it. Every influence and all kinds of arguments have been brought to bear upon individuals and corporations to induce them to subscribe to the stock of the North Eastern Hail Road. Its alternate extension to Raleigh wilh a branch to the' coal fields of North -'parol in a' areohjectsthathave been urged v!i ere other reasons would not prevail ; ainJ Banks and individuals and'the city'in its corporate ca pacity, have subscribed to a 'sufficient aaiount to sec -ire the charter, and I suppose ere Jong operations will he cGmb:ene.d. And here pertnit ine 'to digress and sug gest to the citizens of . -Wilmiiiiitoii that the energy and determined spirit m untested by Charleston in getting the stock to th - pres ent amount, ia an 'example, well worthy ot imitation'. ;ln all (ronr efforts to raise the stock of the Wilmington and Manchester Rail road whifr vva universally regarded Ks'the salvatioivof the town, not a dollar of the slock vus subscribed for by any of our Banks; ivhile in Charleston every Bank (in cluding the Bank of the State) came: for ward as one man to the support of the North Eastern Rail Road'. The route of the North Eastern Rail Itnad will of course not be decided upon un til u su-vey is made, but I am assured it will connect with the Manchester Road at some point within fifteen miles west of the Pee Dee River. The distance then to Charleston by the North Eastern Rail Road, and to Wil mington by the Mah. Road uill be about the same, and the general character of the country will not materially differ. The country which the North Eastern Ril Road will traverse is flat piney levels, .furbishing an abundance of 'timber for its construction and presenting but few obstacles to the gra oing, yet requiring a large amount of heavy and. expensive Bridging and trustle work. This country is generally poor Nnd unpro ductive, except immediately oa' the water courses, which in most cases are navigable and furnish the cheapest method of transpor ting the products raised on the Banks to market.! The population is very small, not cxete Lug eight to the square mile, and con sequently th re will be but few travellers. ' -Whikit is r.dipitied, therefore, that the Road can be constructed at .a small cost, ihere U no dubt bu t the annual coat of main taining he Road will equal the ichole value of the produce of the country tributary to it ; in other words if the whole produce that ill be transported on the Road were given to the Company, . it would not more than pay the expenses ol tnaintainjng it Travellers on that portion of the South Carolina Rail Road betveenj,CharIeston and Branchville have not fat'leu" to mark the drea ry and unproductive appearance of the coun try, and the absence of warehouses for the reception of produce ; but there is not a sul ficent amount raised or consumed along that portion of the Road to justify the Company in constructing them. This part of the Road, therefore, furnishes very little for its Support and is a direct tax upon the remain der of tbe.Iine; and this Will be the case tvith the North Eastern Road- there is noth lo alng its line to support if; and it niust lok to loth er sources and feeders, aiid proki- ment among the latter it is assented ''will be the Wilmington and Manchester Rail Royd. It may be regarded as a most fortunate circumstance for the Wilmington &, Man chef ter Rail Road and for the1 town of Wil mington.; lb iit -hi arranging the Grades to the Pte Dee River from this "place,- e 'Compa ny determined to reduce them to onehall'tha inclination on other parts of the; Road. By this arrangement an Engine eanj pull. near ly twice las murli from Pee Den River to Wilmington as she can from th former point to Manchester ; or she may start from Man chester with a lull load, and arrTvino- at Pee Dee, she can take ' iivneurlu as mu&t more and bring it to Wilmington without in creased cbitandin a contest with Charles ton on the North Eastern Rail Road lh;s vvill be a powerful lever in urging produce to this end of the line. The Manchester Rail Road Company., loo, have been wise in locating ilieir Road nlontr ihe River BankiS where - produce. can be transported directly on board ship, arid where they can construct wharves on their own properly, nearly if not equal in extent to 'the' whole wharves in the city of Charleston. irid sufficient lo accommodate'any amount of business at the smallest cost. It is therefore apparent that in a contest for this trade the town of Wilmington aiid the Wil mington &- Manchester Rail Rond are us favorably situated and have as many advan tages as the city of Charleston and the North Eastern Rail Road. It however, roay be said -that 'Wilmington cannot compete with Charleston, because of the smaller? class, of vessels that trade to our Port, and 'greater amount of Capital at the command of the merchants of Charleston, and the reputation it has ol being a better "CottoiV rnarkef .' Whatever may be said oi "-direct importa tion. "-southern trade,"&c.it is too well known to those familiar with the mercantile affairs of the south, that the larger portion of south-e-n produce finds its way to New Jfork, and is thence re-shipped to Europe. New York is the commercial I ;i rt of :!ii-- for:ti.'erjt.' and must evt-r remain so. Her resources and advantages; her system of internal Improve ments will always throw such an amount of produce into her market as to enable her to wield a muOh larger amount of Capital'lhan any three cities in the Union. The influence of Wall Street, will always be felt, and the difference of -Exchange' uiil "always be in their favor. Now ihe small class cf vessels which, has been so often referred, to as Corning to this port, is sufficiently large 'loanable the freiglits to New Y-ork to be placed at u much lower figure than from Charleston ; and it is a fact well known thru freight's have uniform ly ranged at lower prices between Wilming ton and New V'vrfc llknu bctivtca (Ijitaiieilon and New York. ' " ' ' Ilis true that there is a much t larger amount ot capital in Charleston thaji Wil inington ; but I believe it is an axiom in po litical eeononr, that Capital will always seek the best investment and if tOO. 000 bags of Cotton can lie thrown into this market at a less rate than Irom Chatleston. is it not rea sonable that capital should' flow to this point where it can be more profitably employed ? No class of.lhe community understand more thoroughly the value of a dollar than Mer chants. They look rather to the profits the balance sheet -than to the situation the bus iness, and not the appearance off the City. Complete the works whereby produce can be thrown into a market accessible tot New York at smaller cost, than at any other port, and capital will be there ready to meet the demands. ' FULTON; (To be Continued.) ( DESULTORY THOUGHTS, SUGGESTED BY THE SEASON Krorxf our Long Creek Correspondent. 1 Who can behold the rejuvenescence of nature in this season, 'without being .filled with unutterable thanks ; ' to that bounteous Being iyho thus beautifies and adorns our habitation 1 He spreads a green carpet un der our feet perfjniea the air we inhale with the odoriferous exhalations of sweet and innocent flowers incites instinctively the feathered tribe to melojJious song, and, gives a' peculiarly soft and musical manner to the rippling and babbling stream to gratify our ears. r "O what an earnest the Almighty gives us of fove and goodness in the delightful arid verdant 'scene 'he 'now spr?aJs before our view. How insensible and dry must that heart be, which, ,on the contemplation there of is not touched and warmed with the fire of pure and holy love. What a reproach, to.our ingratitude and insensibiht is the thankful gladness with which all the creatures of the irrational World seem fa be animated and fill ed. ' . ' ' -' j ' " '','- Man, for whom the fields arc enamelled with verdure and strewed with flowers, for whom all the sweets o'flhi-f season are diffu sed, thro the earth and air, and all the bea'u ty and glory thereof are profusely spread abroad, passes on unaffected, and breathes not. a prayer. He hears the birds sing, in hales tlie odor of the flowers, and yet dis cerns, recognises no. gracious purpose no be nificent design therein. How comes this in man, who hcis ari im mortal eoul, made in the image and likeness of the creator, a sensibility exquisitely fine, a heart susceptible of die purest, holiest, and even bf angelic love. It must arise Trom tW lack of mental cuHura 1 " The uncultivated mind, the mind void of i'utellectuar taste, feels no pleasure, experien ces no delight in aught save in that which is or can be tributary to animal or sensual grat ification it i3 swollen, as it were, with low and debasing sentiments replete with grov elling ideas, and only panders to the vile, vul gar emotions and-desires of the frail, mortal decaying carcass in which it dwells.nnd which it has in common with the beast that perish eth. Alf the i stories of'creation. all the beau- r-Uiesjo. nature, and all the 1 ivished bounties ol the skies are lost upon such a mind. Surely the uncultivated mind is all but on a level with the grovelling brute it wallows in the mire cf ignorance, it satiates its appetite with the loathsome and unclean food volup- fTuousn ess and passion. Alas! thai, human na ture is susceptible of uch degradation and debasement. Experiences tell us it is so, and we cannot therefore doubt it. Those noble faculties ol the soul those ex quisitely fine feelings and susceptibilities of the heart are incapable, perse, ol discrimina ting us sufficiently Irom bestial nature, or of assimilating as to the angelic, without being developed, drawn out. and cultivated which process constitutes.rgenerally speaking, all that is meant by education "; " In other words, then, man without educa tion, is incapable of enjoying any of the real happiness that belongs to life of apprecia ting the goodness, 'the 'bounty and .magnifi cence of the Creator, either in his attributes or in his worksarid of fulfilling those mmen tous and important duties whieh his several relations impose and render obligatory upon him ; arfd finally of attaining to that noble aiid exalted destiny, which the Almighty had in view for him when he said, let us make man in dur own image and likeness." What then is this noble end, this exalted destiny of man ? Is it. not happiness on earth, and bliss beyond the grave? Evi denllv man received a rational and immortal i soul, and a heart of burning love and fender affection, that, employing and exercising their faculties and powers in a manner worthy of their celestial and djguified nature. viz: ii the service and contemplation of Him that gave them he migfit be happy on earth, and thus qualify himself for th society of an gels and oi her pure intelligences in the skies, during the long day of eternity, 1 have said that man was created to be happy here and hereafter, no other end being compatible with the idea of a God. Notv, happiness is not to be found on earth in an unadulterated state it is alloyed with many heterogeneous impurities, it has therefore Ut be extracted from a compound mass, which process ,impli;s discriminating knowledge, and this, in turn, implies education. The bliss of the skies, which is our ultimate des tiny, and1 of which our present terrestial hap piness is but a foretaste and an earnest is of fered us only on the Condition sine qua - non that we comply with certain injunctions, and iulfil certain duties which compliance and fulfilment absolutely require knowledge, and this agam requires1 education. The attain ment of our celestial destiny is therefore de pendent on education. I shall, presfime to say more on the subject of education in ano ther letter. How slrifcing ia the influence of the law of saof'estive ideas and of mental association iTi CO o t tliis season ! I iel myself involuntarily car ried -back to that happy time when my thoughts and ideas began to shoot forth and my heart was as fresh as the young bud that now bursts out from the parent stem when ray. young imagination depicted fairy and flowery scenes , never, alas ! to becontempla ted in reality when I thought the paths of life indeed strewn with flowers and void of ihorns and rugged eminences in; finer, when my life-pulse beat in harmony with the soft silent dulcet music ofnature. O how rquisitely delightful it is to see all nature emerging from the prostration and death of winter re-animated and looking fresh and young again, with life and beauty gushing from its every pore ! On the con trary, how mournful and sad to contemplate the human frame sinking aud. wasting away under the consuming influenc3 ofgra lual'de-' cay, becoming "every ; year more fit Cor th.6 tombl Oh! this is truly -mournful indeed ! But to counterbalancfr this the spirit becomes more invigorated and 'serious sets a less val ue oh', the passing transient nature of all sub lunary things fixes its attentron moro Tre quently on Him from whom it emanated and in whoso .presence alone-all its aspirations ad yearntnffs can be reallv gratified.

We have received the 4lh annual report of the directors of this company, submitted nt a meeting of the stockholders held on the "28th ult. The whole amount expended upon the work up to the date of the report, has been $397,860 42.

Of the bonds subscribed by ihe town of Wilmington, $75,500 werp sold on the 1st inst. These sales were at par value, and it is believed that the remaining $24 500 can be disposed of. on the same terms. The proceeds of these bonds were especi ally, appropriated by the meeting of stockholders in January last, for thepurchase of iron to be delivered at Wilmington. The subscription of $200,000 to be paid in the stock of the Wilmington and Raleigh railroad, made by the State of North Caro lina the company agreed , to accept, in con sideration of the steadilyincreasing business of that road, with a large reduction in its ex penses, consequent upon re-laying the track with new and heavy rails instead of the old Pat bais, and have issued certificates of 2.000 shares ofits stock to the Slate of North Car olina, in payment of S,000 shares of the Wilmington ands Raleigh railroad. This subscription, added to that above mentioned, will increase the capital stock of the company to neatly $1,200,000. In April last the company issued mortgage bonds for $600,000, redeemable on th'e 1st day of June, 1866, bearing 7 per cent, interest, payable in June and December of each year, at the Merchants' Bank of New York, and conver tible into the stock of the company at the op lion of holders, at any .time previous to the 1st Jtiae, lSGi. C The sales made of these; bonds, and the coutraeis for which they are t be rec ived in 'payment, ha ve. absorbed j $450,000 out of the $600,000 issued, leaving yet to be sold 5)141,000 of them. Of these bonds $200,000 were paid 7,000 tons of iron rails, contracted for with Messrs. Bailey Bi others. & Co. of Loudon, which are to be delivered in Wilmington and Charles ton in Mkrcb and June.. qf the present year, at $41 50 per ton... ' For all but the prime cost of the iron, however, $200,000. the com pany have to provide, which amount is to be deducted from the price to be paid. The estimated cost of the road, made by; the chief engineer, is $JL550,000. From which deduct expenditures already made, ai d there is. left $896,139 58. Add bills for $30,000 payable at llie State Bank of South Carolina, and the amount to be provided for is $926,139 53. :. The company have in stock, bonds, etc., the sum of $1,070,105 92. From which de duct the $926,139 58, before mentioned, and fherc is a balance left of $143,966 31 to eov er losses from stock, bonds subscription lists, etc., which it is now impossible to estimate, from the nature of the securities held. ; It is is believed . that the eompany will be able to complete their .road with the present means, without incurriug permanently any new abilities,. or such at feast as the present means of the company, when made available, may not discharge. i'si..-.

SUBMARINE EXPERIMENT. A very interesting experiment was made last ivcek off the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, with asubrua rine vessel, invented by Mr. Lambert-Alexandre. At a sigual given by Comodore Salter, Mr. Alex andre and three men, who accompanied hirb in the vessel, descended in 40 feet water. They were 10 minutes reaching the bottom. Twenty five minutes afterwards, at a signal given, they ascended, and were received with shouts by the vast crowd looking on. While under the water, they experienced ot. inconvenience could breathe with ease, and see clearly. They opened a trap at the -bottom 'of the boat, and the atmospher ic prossure from above prevented any water from coming in so that they could examine the bottom of the Bay, without hindrance. They regretted the' were not permitted to stay down longer, that they might have made further explo rations. They expressed the opinion, that they could have remained below for many hours. From the Hilhburo1 liecordtr of the lO.'A. inst. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. A valuable female servant, about 19 years of age, the 'property of E. D. M'Nair, esq. of this vicinity, was so severely burnt on Sunday morn ing last, by her dress catching on fire, that she died early on Monday morning. She was n ployed in bathing with camphine an aged servant suffering under an attack of rheumatism. Her back being towurds the fire, her clothes caught, and the flames had madw considerable progress before she discovered her danger. Wild with af fright, -she fled from the k itched to the houseHby which time she was perfectly enveloped in flames. Mr M'Nair had been induced to return from church before the completion of the service, in consequence of the seeraing indisposition of bis little son, and did what he could lo extinguish the 3re, but the servant was so severely burnt tbatthe physician at- onco pronounced her re covery hopeless. She lingered through the night, seemiDgly insensible to pain, and did about 7 o'clock on Monday morning. Though it failed to'save'the life of the servant, it seemed a providential interference that induc ed Mr. M'Nair to return home. In the room to which the servant retreated was a bed with cur tains, and other light inflamable materials, which she passed near, and wculd greatly have endan gered the house if none of th3 white family had been present " ' f MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. We learn that on Monday last; Mr. Waltet Proc tor, son of Mr. Thomas Proctor, a young; man about 19 yeats ot ago, lost his life by faVing through the sleepers into the pit of Mrs. Sims's Saw Mill, in the eastern part of this county He was sifting on the log watching the saw and talk ing to tho negro who attended the mill As the log approached the aw he moved ' backwards to avoid it, and before he was aware of it reached the end and fell off. He w-as dreadfully bruised and mangled by the fall, and died in a few moments after he was 'taken up. The negro endeavored to catch him as be fell, but faited ia the attempt. He then turned to the lever, as soon as possible and shiit off the water, bnt it was to little pur pose, as the fall bad killed him. The deceased is represented as a worthy young manand was em ployed about the mill. He leaves a kind father an aSectiouate mother, and a brother and lister to nibrn their untimely loss. lb.
