INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT. The Asheville News has an article of grout in vest Kt the prevent time iipnn tlie subject of State jiprovemeut. It is the Editor's opinion, that, with it a liberal syrtem of Internal Impf p' the jate will lows her population, and be ruined. We rrce w ith him llmt it is desirable ; and we see no sing el so likoly to work out our redemption nnv dependence, as well as comparative poverty. r the country must first be opened In some way ; cihties for transportation must be both cheaper id speedier than wagoning on common roads ; the ay to market must be direct and eaiiy, with cer- jinty of sales, and a fair choice in the procure ientof necessary supplies-, before the agricultu 1 and mineral recources of the State can be pro- arto jlointnnnit mnA lFant mannfajtliwiAI. tn KRV ,reat extent, can be profitably established, to em- loy the capital and labor which agriculture might .ell afford to spare when its productions were in- leased, and better prices oUained, because access f belter markets had been opened by means of our jrojected system of State improvements. If we read the Democratic party aright, how iver, we may regard it as settled that the next Le gislature is to do nothing farther in the way of im rovements, until the works now in progress are ompleted. The hopes of our Buncombe friends re looking to tlio extension of the Central Railroad lest from Salisbury. The Eastern Carolinians re anxious that It should be extended from Neuse Wer eastward to Newbern. And efforts may be hade by the friends of these respective. measures b obtain charters at the next Legislature. We re almost certain they will be disappointed. 1 We cannot, if we would, shut our eyes to the act, that, in the late election, those opposed to In' ernal Improvement by the aid of the State have riumphed certainly in the election of Governor, ml it is believed also in the Legislative election f this be so, the principle we understand to be es iblished is just this : That the Central Railroad wing already authorised by law, the faith of the Itatu is considered as pledged so far, and no effort vill be made to disturb it ; but no new works are o be undertaken in which the State will be far ler involved for Internal Improvement. We ap irshend it will be seen that our next Democratic legislature will act upon this principle. The battle of Internal Improvements must also fought upon the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, t belongs to the State she is deeply involved in it ind what must be done with it? If the State keeps t, it u evident the superstructure must be rebuilt, jefore it can be kept in good running order. The notire power must be increased and repaired at con uderablo expense ; and much money must be spent jefore it can be made profitable, which we believe it would be, if put in goad running order. In our paper of Feb. 3, 1849, we gave the esti mate of a practical and well informed man of the cost of relaying the Raleigh and Gaston Road with T iron, weighing 66 pounds to the lineal yard amounting to $481 ,680 18. And the writer show ed, by facts and figures, in a very fair and reason able calculation, that it would be a profitable in vestment, yielding 6 per cent, upon $864,000, the amount of the outlay, putting the actual worth of the Road at $500,000, and supposing the State should rebuild the Road upon the solid and sub stantial plan which is necessary to make it valu able as a first grade Road. The questions arise, Will the Legislature make the necessary appropriations for rebuilding or re pairing this Road 7 Or what shall be done with it 1 And upon these questions we imagine the policy of the State must be discussed and settled by the next Legislature. . For, although the opportunity was afforded, and two different plans provided by law upon which this Road could be built by stock com panies, with a liberal offer on the part of the State, no steps have been taken by our citixens to avail themselves of the favorable charter granted ; and very little attention has yet been given to the sub ject. The Road, therefore remains in the keeping of the State, and she ought to be cautious what disposition she makes of it, in order to avoid a very heavy loss. IT From Information that we deem reliable, we are pleased to learn that justice will soon be done upon the swarms of Locofocos who infest and have so long monopolized the offices of the coun'.ry. The Post Office and Navy Department will make many changes, and the Whigs of the country will be re 1 ieved from the heartless proscription they have en dured so long. For one, we go for changes every where. It is Democratic doctiine Let the Dem ocracy have the benefit of it; and with a change of Administrations let ns have a change in all the offices of the country. It has been a one-sided rule before. Let it work both ways now and here after. '. .' .' . '' ;.

GRAND DIVISION. Let the October Session of the G. D. in Ra leigh, be emphatically a "meeting of the clans"; let the gallant and patriotic Sons, from the North ard South, East and West, meet together at the centrr, and send up one shout, of Love, Purity snd Fidelity, so loud and so long, as to wake the sleeping eclioescf the "Cityof Oaks" tlx Capi tal of the Old North State. Let this be done, and and every glen and vale, from the mountains to the sea-board, will re-echo back the sound, In tones gentle and subduing as Love's first whisper, and pure and faithful as the blush of innocence and beauty that mantles the cheeks of the daugh ters of North Carolina. The Ccmmittee are using every exertion to make the occasion "a feast of reason and a flow of sou!" a jubilee of Temper ance, that will long he remembered in the history of the State. Apart from all other considerations, the debt of gratitude that, as Sons of the Order, we owe Raleigh, should induce all who can, to be present upon that occasion. Raleigh was the first place that introduced our benign Order into the State : it is the Mecca to the one hundred and eighty Divisions now in the State; and the seven or eight thousand Sons scattered throughout the State, must feel grateful to the handful of men in the City, who staked their all upon ah untried Order, and, in due time, extended the benefits to them : benefits which will not die with them, but will descend to their sons and daughtersdirectly from them but indirectly from the "Sons" of Ra leigh. Let us gladden the hearts of those Bro thers, by our presence, at the meeting of the G. D. and give them ocular demonstration that their seed has been planted in good soil, and that an army of Teetotalers is the result. Apart lrom all this, important business will be transacted: business which has for its object the establishment of the principles of Love, Purity and Fidelity, and tern perate habits amongst mankind.

We regret to hear of the death of John Ezurs, Esq., the Senator from Wayne County. We learn that he died at his re sidence near Stantonsburg, on Wednesday last, of fever Mr. Exum had represented the County of Wayne a number of years in the State Senate. He was a faithful public servant, a useful citizen, and an honest man. Peace to his remains '.Standard. A SCENE IN THE HOUSE. , Washington, August 31, There were rather sharacteristlc illustrations of chivalry in the House this morning and yesterday, Mr. Bayly has been desirous of having the Indian Appropriation bill passed. Yesterday he called it up, a motion which required unanimous consent. Mr. Sweetzer, of Ohio, who sits about three seats removed from Bayly, rose and objected, and of course the motion could not be entertained. Mr. Bayly hereupon rose from bis seat, leaned over towards Mr. Sweetzer, shook his finger at him in a very menacing manner, and saic as I understand, " You are a spiteful little cur," with some addi tional epithets not necessary to repeat. This morning the chairman of the Ways and Means renewed his motion, and again Mr. Sweetzer rose, precisely as before. Mr. B. shook his finger in the face of Mr. Sweetzer, and said, among other things, "If you ever object to another motion of mine in this House, I will wring your nose, G-d d n you." These words were spoken so loud ts to be, die tinctly heard across the hall, though, of course, they were not intended to go into the debate. Mr, Sweetzer made a motion with his hand as if he would have thrown an Inkstand into the face of his insultery but Mr. Thompson of Miss., inter posed, and no violence oecurred in the House Mr. Sweetzer soon after left the House ( as he was doing so a friend asked him what he was about to do, to which he replied that he would arm himself. and would then determine. It was the opinion of every member whom I heard allude to the affair, that the insult on the part of Bayly was so gross, wanton, and intolerable, that had Mr. Sweetzer had the means to do it, he would have been war ranted in summarily taking bis life. Cat. Evening Post. From the N. O. Picayune. THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE. The debates in the Texas Legislature show that there Is no difference of opinion whatever in that body on the subject of tho rights and duty of the State in relation to the Santa Fe territory. Every man is in favor of asserting State jurisdic tion, and of raising the necessary troops ; although some differences exist as to the proper steps to be taken and the ways and means and mode of rais ing them. The cash resources of the State Treas ury consist of about $36,000, which has been rais ed by an annual per cenfage of the revenues of the State, and set aside under the constitution to form a school fund. Some of the members think this cannot bo constitutionally taken, but the general opinion appears to be that it may be used, and re main "a charge to the State," until the common school fund is established. The subject was dis cussed in joint committee of both houses on the 16th. The principal subject of debate was the num ber of troops it might be necessary to raise ; and opinions varied between authorizing a specific force and giving the executive the power of raising as many as he may find necessary for the purpose of completing the submission of the inhabitants of the Santa Fe countries. Three thousand appeared to be a favorite number with those who prefer the limitation of the executive authority, They com puted that seventeen hundred would Le necessary to keep the United States troops in check, and thirteen hundred to overawe the New Mexican in surgents against the State authority. No definite proposition had been agreed to, but the prevailing opinion seemed to be that about three thousand should be named as the basis of calculation for present provision, with a conting ent authority to the Governor lo call out more, if needed. In the House of Representatives, on the 15th, a resolution of inquiry was moved embracing, a- mong other subjects, a call upon the Governor for correspondence between himself, or his predecess- or," that may have been entered into with any oth er State of the Confederacy." The mover stated that he wanted to know officially whether the State could depend for men, money, or arms upon oilier States ; and if the State authorities had any intelligence to that effect. It was postponed on the ground that Texas should act for herself within her own limits, and not to look beyond them until the time of collision should make it necessary. One proposition was to apply to the Government of the United States for a id, under the constitution, to suppress insurrection within the State ! A resolution was moved to go into an election for Senator in Congress to succeed General Rusk, whoso term expires on the fourth of March next. Those who spoke generally declared themselves fa vorable to his re-election ; but some hesitation was expressed on account of his position towards the Conpromise (Omnibus) bill. That bill, as it stood, was considered unfavorable to the rights of Texas, and several members said they would not vote for a supporter of that clause in the bill. The result of the last vote was not then known at Austin, and the subject of the election of Senator was laid over in expectation of news by the malls of the voles on the bill. General Rusk's vote at that time just hits the humor of the Legislature ; but it is not so clear that hie subsequent vote in favor of Mr. Pearce's bill may not at the first announcement prove injurious to him among members who may have wished him to vote another way. General Rusk himself appears, by his remarks in the Sen ate, to have anticipated opposition for his course. The north, therefore, is going up, while we are going- down. The loss of California, then, opens to us the oath of duty. It ts as plain as a turnpike. The Union no longer secures our equality, not even our safety. Secession, we dtvoutly believe it, it the only remedy. The above Is from the Eufaula Democrat, and we give it to our readers for vhat it is worth. The Democrat belongs to that party which, while it assumes to be the peculiar guardian of the righti and honor of the south, is" constantly re-iterating that it is trying to save the Union. From the above it will be seen how the Democrat would go to work to save it. Macon Ala.) Rep Baltimore, September 6 9J p. m.

President Fillmore has to-day apprehended his signature to all the bills which constituted Mr, Clay's Omnibus, except the fugitive Slave Bill, and they are now the laws of the land, viz : 1st. The Texas Boundary Bill. 2d. The Territorial Bill for new Mexico. 3d. The Bill admitting California as a States 4th. The Utah Territorial Bill. A special messenger has left for Texas with the Boundary Bill, to ask its acceptance of the Legis lature of that State. Congress has agreed to adjourn on the 1st of Oc tober next. The new member of the Cabinet, in the place of Mr. McKennan, declined, will Come from the State of Georgia. Mr. Graham declines to take the Interior Department had he done so the Hon. T. Butler King would have taken the Na vy, and a capital Secretary he would have made. Slaves Runnins Home ahain. The Delaware Gazette states that the seven slaves who some time since ran away from Mr. Calvert, of Prince George's county, applied at the watch-house for lodgings, in that city, a few nights since, stating that they had been to Pennsylvania, were tired of freedom, and were trying to get back to their mas ter, They stated that they had been decoyed off bv ft white man, whose name they did hot k how, by specious promises and delusive hopes, and that they much preferred living with Mr. Calvert as bis slaves than to lead the life they did after they reach ed their destination, and desired to be sent home. The mayor had them lodged in the jail at New Castle, and sent a dispatch by telegraph to their owner, who had them removed to his home. CltargeqfBurziary and Arrest. Sometime du ring the month of April a jewelry establishment in Wilmington, North Carolina, was burglariously entered and robbed of a considerable amount of jewelry. A few days afterwards, two men named Walton and Edward Cole were arrested and some of the stolen articles found upon their person',. They underwent examination which resulted in their being fully committed to jail to await trial On the 13th of April they managed to escape, and were not heard of until a few days since, when they were arrested by officer Thomas W. Gorman, of this city , Who saw them during his visit to Phil adelphia, where be went for the purpose of arrest ing them, he brought them tortus city, when they were committed to jail, by Justice Gray.to await the requisition for their delivery to the authorities of North Carolina. Bait. Sun. ' The Editor of the Richmond Enquirer sy that he has been "funning down a falsehood." . The fellow is very much like an absent-minded nv.O tunning in all directions after his bat while it is tfl GREAT REJOICING. In Washington City, on Saturday evening last, one hundred guus were fired, in honor of the ma jority of the House and Senate, and for the eace wnich that majority bestowed on the country. The National Hotel was illuminated, fire works added to the brilliancy of the occasion, and the Marin Band struck up national airs in front of the dwellings of those gentlemen who had borne a conspicuous part in the settlement of the questions. A crowd of from fifteen hundred to two thousand persons assembled and cheered the patriots whose patient and arduous labors brought about so happy a result. "l ne nrst man thus serenaded and cheered was Henry Clay ; then came General Foote, then Gen eral Cass, then Mr. Speaker Cobb ; f these gentle, men live all on the same side of the avenue.) Com ing up on the other side, Judge Douglas, the able and mast efficient chairman of the Committee on Territories, received nine cheers, and a national tune from the bind ; then the crowd proceeded to the Senators from Texas, where a stand was made for Sam Houston and General Rusk ; then the music and the people marched up to Daniel Web ster's ; and last, up town to the Irving House, the residence of Senator Dickinson, of New York. Each of the patriots thus cheered and serenaded made an appropriate speech, overflowing with grateful sentiments at the preservation of the Con stitution and the Union. They had been facing the music so long, that the music at laBt faced them. The evening was one of the happiest spent in Washington. It is now understood that Congress will adjourn tine die about the 1st of October, after a session of ten months the longest session ever held. The country will then again become quiet the faction ists will have lost their vocation, and the Union will be more closely cemented in the hearts of the people, by the remembrance of the commotion and excitement through which it has passed. The gallant ship of our Republic has safely rid out the storm of party spirit, all the winds of faction that could be summoned having proved inadequate to the overthrow of her mighty frame. The announcement of the passage of the Texas Bill by the house, on Friday, caused great rejoic ing in New York, on Saturday, and the National flag was hoisted from the shinning and all the prominent buildings of the city. JENNY LIND'S FIRST CONCERT. Intelligence has been received by telegraph from New York this morning of the result of the first sale for tickets to the concerts of Jenny Lind, There was a great contest among the millionaries for the first choice of a seat, and the competition was very great. When it was knocked off at $225, great was the surprise to find that Mr. Genin, a Broadway hatter, was the successful bidder. O ther choice seats were sold at prices ranging from $150 to $200. Other seats were sold at $100 and towards the close of the sale they were going off at a rapid rale at prices ranging from $30 to $10. Jenny Lind. Barnum has agreed with Jenny Lind that in addition to the $1000 per concert for 150 nights, she shall receive half the net profits.on condition that she sing for hun, not only in the Urn- ted States, but in any other part of the world, par ticularly, at the London fair. The original con tract is annulled and this agreement substituted. The LiJiD Mania. Jenny Lind received a visit from Mayor Woodhull, of New York, on Wednes day, and, if we aro to believe the reports, the con versation was a very silly one . Besides Bishop Hughes, the Rev. Dr. Cummings and other elegy- men also visited her, and after that she received 400 lady Vieteri. She Was then conducted to the Art Union Gallery, when she was treated toa collotion and addressed in a set speech by the President. We dare say the fair songstress will have many hearty laugh at the capers cut by American admir ers. It will be a strong evidence of her good and most charitable nature if she does not. Jenny visited the New York custom house on Thursday, artd created quite a futor among the flunkeys there. She is said to be considerably di verted, too, as was Fanny Kemble, at the manner in which Americans "bolt" their dinners. Five Dollars fob a (Jlove.

We learn that a despatch was received yesterday by the Rev. John Hurst, of Baltimore) announcing the death, at Louisville, Ky., oh Sunday last, of the Rev. Hen ry R Bascmnb, one of the Bishops of the Metho dist Episcopal Church South. Bishop Bascomb was known throughout the Union as one of the most eloquent pulpit orators living. He has been ill for some time, and his death was looked upon as more than probable. We learn from letters received at Boetdri by the Hibernia announce the death of Rev. Dr. Judson, aged 60, on the 12 of April) on board the French bark Aristotle, bound to the isleoffionrbon. He was buried in the sea on the evening of bis death, in Lat. 13 N. Lon. 63 E. He bad been a mission ary for 38 years. Minnesota Congressional DelrOaTE. The National Intelligencer learns by telegraph that the Hon. Henry II. Sibley has been re-elected delegate to Congress from Minnesota Territory by a large majority. His only opponent was Colonel A. M. Mitchell. The election took piece en Monday of last week, and was on the neutral platform. Mrs. Miller. We learn from a source fully entitled to credit, that Mrs. Miller, whose sudden disappearance and supposed suicide at Niagara Falls, elicited so much remark a few months since, has, within a few days, returned to the home of her father, the late Senator Norvell, at Detroit, Michigan, who has died during her absence. The stories with which the press has teemed about her having gore to Europe in company With A gen tleman, die.,' are wholly unfounded. She returns of herown accord, drawn mainly, w believe, by a strong desire to see her children. Her taind stems to be disordered, and,! it is supposed by her friends, that her absence was indues by the strong religious excitement under which she has been laboring lor soiae time. ,', Y- Courier, YEAS AND NAYS. j Owingtomvl failures, we received our papers too late on Wednesday night to enable u to give as mocn of the proceedings of Congress on the- Uniform bill and Utah territorial mil, as we de sired particularly the yea and nays en their passage, On the California bill, our delegation voted as follows: Yeas, Messrs.

Ashe, Cald well, Daniel, Deberry, Outlaw, Shepperd and Stan ly, Mr. Venablb's vote is not recorded; not Mr. Clingman's. California Hill passed. The House of Repre sentatives finished a glorious week's work on Sat urday, by passing the bill for the admission of Cal ifornia into the Union, and a bill providing a Terri torial government for Utah. This is making am ple amends for any delay that has occurred in the passing ot the benate s bills. We said, last week, when the prospect seemed so gloomy to many, Unit the House would "do its duty its whole duty." If it will now take up the Fugitive Slave bill, and pass it, it will fill to overflowing the measure of public approbation which it has so fairly earned by its conduct during the past week. Republic. TREASONABLE MOVEMENTS. It is stated that information has reacli Washing ton that the Governor of Texas, before convening the Texas legislature, corresponded with the Ex ecutive of certain Southorn States, soliciting aid gainst the General Government, and that it was secretly guaranteed by the Governors of South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. Those of Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana, and oth er States refused, by letter, to countenance the project. Bait. Sun. Arkansas Election. The returns from Ar kansas come in slowly.

Prospectus of THE NEWBER7VIAN AND NORTH CAROLINA ADVOCATE. WITH a view to express more fully t' o cLa-;.c ter aud design of the psper, the subscriber propos es shortly to add lo the title of the "Newberman," tho words. '-and North Carolina AHmvutn " (la conceives I hat the press of the Slate is now, more emphatically than ever, called upon to advocate 1 wi;h leal a fuller development of the resources of North Carolina more reliance upon her own in-, dustry and skill in agriculture, commerce and ma nufactures and her consequent elevation td a more commandi ng position among her sister States. The paper will of coarse preserve its character of a political Journal I and to the readers of the Newbernian, it is scarcely necessary to say, its cha racter as a zealous advocate of Whig principles. The late reverse which the Whig party has met in the State has not shaken, in the least, our firm can virttion that the lasting prosperity of the country, and the maintenance of the constitution In its pu rity, are identified with the success of these princi ples. That defeat has only animated us to renew the conflict with more zeal and energy to pick our flint, take better aim, and try again. The "New betnian and North Carolina Advocate" will, like the Newbernian, take a firm stand for Southern rights. But, believing as we do that these rights can best be maintained in the t'nion, and under the consti tution, it will oppose strenuously every apprcaclv to Disunion, except as a last resort to save the South from oppression and ruin. In these respects the paper will continue to pursue its accustomed course, but as we hope with more 2etl snd energy. The chief improvement which we hope to effect-, is the exercise of a greater influence on the Agri cultural, commercial and manufacturing interests of the State in general, and of Easter;. Carolina in particular. As these interests are intimatelv mum nected with the growth and prosperity of our towns, we trust that the merchants, mechanics and other citizens interested in' the prosperity of Kinston, of Beaufort, and other" towns withih the range of our circulation, and especially of Newbern, will af ford us every facility in their power, In communi cating information in respect to the market, com merce, manufacture, and shipping Interests of those towns. There has ben, inrl Is still, too much indifference and backwardness in rhi respect for the mutual interests of all concerned. We will endeavor to do oar part better to remedy this de fect, snd hope to lis seconded in onr efforts by o them. Should we succeed in rendering our sheet more nseful snd valuable in these respects, may we not hope fiom an enlightened public, a moro ex tended circulation and a roer liberal support , TERMS).
