When we left town .yesterday .... morning the tempest had in a great measure subsi ded. We learn with much pleasure that several spirited gentlemen in the va rious counties through.', which the pro posed rail-road will run have volunta rily undertaken to visit the citizens of those counties, either at their dwell ings or at public meetings, for the purpose of urging the necessity of the improvement and obtaining subscrip tions. This determination is- worthy of all praise, and is doubtless the best method that could be devised to pro mote the necessary disposition and to raise the required means. Many of our farmers have never had the impor tance of the subject fully laid before them, and - have consequently thought but little on the subject. " With such, a full exposition of the prospects of success and prosperity which the road opens to our view could not fait to have the desired effect. - Have we ho citizens in Newbern who feel as warm ly interested in the 'welfare of the State as the gentlemen- alluded to? Have we not one who will sacrifice his own convenience, even his own interest, for a few weeks, to promote the generalgood? .We know that there aresuch amongst us, and we earnestly solicit them to come forward.

Should we continue X6 lookjdjy a while these worthy citi zen'sjure-jncrcasinghelaources of wealth, we will severely repent our apathy when it may be, too late to apply a remedy. From the moment that Wif mington and Raleigh are connected by a rail road, unless we too have a simi Jar connexion, we become anjtolated, miserable village, with a, trade limited to a single county, and that Dy no means a productive one and deserved Btverty and decay will be ourinevita-eiot-This;fflujt not be pertnittedr we must not be.so unjust to ourselves, to posterity, to our country. n 4 'j f ;'; -Fetchem Spectator. rier.i-tLaSt- eight, ti.e: iwv. wenry Torrent, (a gentleman nearly years ofo, and uncle of tlie Archdeacpn of Dublin on k)i return With a friend to hiiTesidence-at Rathgarouj Sriirfpiwisltn" where he aaa been diaing, found that the-' two ser vants Ieft4a cai-f the house were, oat, the door locked, andhecouldjLot feirradthilfance.
