DAILY PROGRESS. 1VEWBERN, N. C. FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 30, I860. Our Itailroodi nntl Politic. The following tribute by the North Carolina Standard to the energy and efficiency of the Pres idents of our North Carolina Railroads is well de served -While all have done; well we know that. Charges F. Fisher and John D. Whitford have sacrificed their individual interest, their health, comfort, and been subjected to long separations from their families in prosecuiins- the labors that devolve upon them as the heads of two of our great State works. And how j have ithese labors been requited ? Why by many only with abne, slanderous charges and libellous insinua tions. Hut the intelligence of the many will tri umph orer the vindietiveness of the few, and the triumphant manner, in which.! charges were met and the enthusiastic re-election of these gentle men last summer was not only a thorough vindi cation oi 'their integrity, zeal and fitness for the pi aces-whicb they occupy but it was a demonstra tion by tho public in their favor which should, and which did for a while, put to shame their puny revilers. But we shall never have peace until Railroads and politics are separated. Mr. Fisher is abused -because he is a democrat; Mr. Whitford has been persecuted and abused because he is not a demo crat. AVe copy the following from the last Stan dard : Ch.arle F. Fiher, Eg. The last Gree- sborough Patriot, smarting under old sores, -pits lorth nnotuer column of vfinmi ut Mr. Fisher.-Tuat paper charges that tlie N. C llad is 4 rented o it" to Mr. Fisher, and that, under this emitiact, Mr. Fisher is transport ing iron for the Western Extension to the neglect of freight, &c. Xuvv; mi one will believe this charge. Tlie Editor of t ie Patriot himself doe not believe it. It is but a continuation of tlie unjust warfare waged, on Mr. Fisher, simi ly he aue he is a democrat, aud because the Road prospers in his hands; Mr. Fistier can we'd afford to disregard these at tacks, llis labors, ids anxieties, his sacrifices of time and health for tlie success of the Road speak for him. Tl.e v?e9 ure g awing n file. We have puit some attention to the management ' of the Railroads m this State, and wo can conscien tiously say that an effort w uld be made in vain to obt'du the services of men better qualified, or w o wonif perform tleir duties nun e juuiciou.-ly and sat- l.-f aetwily than Messrs. bisher, reaion, A. he. Wilder, and Whitford have, pei formed theirs. No doubt the Presidents of new line are dliii g and will do as well as these gentlemen. We ref.T to the latter only because four of tlie Roads have b'nn tor some time in full operation.-while the - filth (the Western Extension) is already in use for some fifty, or bixty miles. ' ; ; j Our I Jrlr gntion. Politicians North and South are not only very much prone to speculate on matters connected with the next Presidency, but some of them are iti the habit of stating,' for facts, things which have no foundation whatever, j A South Carolina paper we see gravely asserts that the North:Caro- j lina delegation are pledged to1 go for Gefi. Joe Lane at Charleston, and soma Northern paper has asserted that our delegation has decided to go for Hunter. Now both of these assertions are false Our delegation have not had time to think about who is to be the nominee yet ; the gi eat and most vital of all questions to them is. now, what is to be the price of board at Charleston? Can they get into a first class hotel at $5 a day each, or must they take garret accommodations at $10 .' After the price of rice and Fulton market beef (as they are to be served at Charleston) is settled then our delegation will be prepared to consider less weighty matters. Our own impression is that our delegation will not go to Charleston' pledged to anyj man. but that they will do what seemeth to them right mid proper when the time come to act. I i ; Agricl ltlka Addrkss. We are indebted to the couitesy of the publisher, Mr. Yates, of the Charlotte Democrat, for a pamphlet copy of the Address of Hon. D. M. Barringer delivered before the Mecklenburg Agricultural Society, at" Char lotte, in October last. The Address is an excel lent one as our readers can bear testimony, for we made lengthy extracts from it soon after it was delivered. r Still There. The tw famous corn doctors Doctors Ealing and Murphy, are still holding forth at Charleston and will likely remain till atter the Convention. No doubt but their skill will be required on sore heads as well as sore feet be tween the 2Uth and 3(Jth of April. ' i j : ! ' Taken Possession.

Dear Progress : If I possessed the wonderful verbosity of some letter-writers, or the astonish-; ing facility ascribed to women (beg their pardon) of expressing themselves for hours about nothing at all, I should not be under the necessity of apol ogizing for the unfrequency and brevity of my letters. I am not sure, however, that your read ers may not congratulate themselves over my destitution in this respect, for it may be that, as "brevity is the spice of wit,' so in regard to the matter of my letters, their brevity may be the "sp:ce" thereof. If so, I am content. Were' I to say much more than I have already said in previous letters upon the subject of the recent revival of religion in this community, you would be induced to believe, no.doubt, that we had become a very religious people. True the morals of a great many, including o'me who were previously members of the church, have been greatly improved ; still there are many who have not been reached by the gracious influence. A correspondent of the Wilson Ledger in its last is 1 sue alludes to lawyers as a class or men woo are seldom brought within the pale of the church,, and suggests that a reason, for their moral delinquency may be found in the fact that christ anity. in its teachings and praetici, is" opposed, to litiga tion;'" a d therefore, it is wisdom (in a wordly sense, the only sense in which wisdom is under stood and exercised by unconverted persons) that the legal fraternity should not lend their influence to propagate principles where general acceptance would preclude "the necessity for their services." Ip confirmation of this opinion. I would only say that during the extensive revivals of religion which have pievailed here and elsewhere recent ly, I have heard of but two lawyers who embrac relig'on and one of them has discarded the pro fession of the law and entered the. ministry, and the othtsr, I understand, contemplates doing like wise. ! A very large concourse of people met at the river on last Sabbath afternoon to witness tho baptism of a number of persons by the Methodist and Baptist Ministers. The occasion passed off very quietly with the exception of a. rabbit chase, now and then by a pack of houu4s aud number less curs, assisted by two or three scores of boys and negroes, who would sweep around the skirts of the crowd in hot pursuit the canines in full cry, and the bipeds with deafening yells Yours, &c, HORATIO. Correspondence ot the Daily Progress. Brownsville, Miss., March 21, I860 Editor Prooess: Dear Sir S--As I am so for tuuate as to be a reader of your paper, a.d as it comes from my native State and the tow'n'where I have spent many pleasant days, and as I value it above any other, I have concluded to write a few lines in relation to Mississippi, if you think them worthy of a place in the Progress, you can publish, if not no harm done. Brownsville is a small village supporting two dry goods stores that sell about one hundred thousand dollars worth of goods yearly, one drug store that sells ten thousand dollars worth, and one family grocery doing good business. We have two line schools, a male and female, with about forty students each; two churches, Methodist and Baptist, with a large membership. There is a great deal of wealth in this county. Lands very productive, and farmers energetic. There is heavy crops of cotton raised every year, and pros pects are very flattering for good crops the pre sent year. The community is generally very healthy. ! I have been living in Brownsville two years and there has been but one death, which took place yesterday, a man who says (or did say) he had not been sober two years in thirty five. But in case I might weary your patience and as I never wrote a line for publication before, I will stop and if you think my production worthy I will try and do better some other time. W. B. H. Concernig Cuinolixk Addressed to the L dies Those who think the ruling fashions ofthe day are based upon the caprice of some notorious individual, take but a superficial view ofthe sub ject. That there are a few silly people who are prepared to make themselves 'ridiculous, because they have heard "the Empress " does not " hunt in hoops on horseback,'' "cannot be doubted : but they -.re exceptions. A fashion, to p tss the scru tiny of a whole community, and of all communi ties in civilized countries,. must have merrit in itself j It must meet a common want and he ap proved by the good sense of those who adopt it Th eir verdict should be taken as impartial t is impossible that a fashion should become univer-j sal w hen it is not in good taste. A few may adopt anything upon the mere- rumor that it is 44 fash ionable, to obtain a notoriety for'being a ' a la mode.'' but the many reason about it. its beautv, utility, propriety and healrhfulness and adopt or discard itjas their judgement or taste dictates. The universal use of hoops by the ladies of all po lite nations is the best evidence that they meet a common want which all feel. Indeed, hoops have become a necessity, and no longer depend on th? caprice of the Empress, to be put off or on at the imperial beck. They are an indispensable insti tution. These premises being admitted, a few suggestions relating to the form amUstvle may' be pertinent. A moment's reflection will show that the hoop should not be round. There is nothing more ridiculous than a hoop projecting evenly on. all sides 'from the person Trie front should be perfectly flat, and, as it falls from, the waist, should flow backward and outward, so that the movement ot the feet, in walking, will not be seen. A givn amount of expansive power is re quired, but this should be as diffuse as possible that is. the hoops should he, numerous but fine. While the" fine hoops is not more liable to break than the coarse, it is much more flexible and com pressible, and therefore is a nearer .innrnwh pressible, and therefore is drapery. There are many modes of fastening such as clasping, tying and pasting all of whTch are liable to serious objections. The clasp stiffen the hoop and fall off; tying is insecure, and pasted skirts have an offensive odor, and soon gets stiff and hard. The woven gore tail skirts is free from all these objections, and for lightness, flexibility and service, is superior to all others, and meets with universal favor. Boston Post. Consknts to be Re-nomin ATED.-At the press nigsohcitationofhia political friends ofthe Demo cratic party G. W. Grice, Esq , has acepted the nomination for Mayor, of the city ofPortsmout, nnanimonsley made at alarg. meeting of the party on Monday night. A Ifrw York Jonrnnlint in North Carolina. We take the following extract from a letter from the senior editor of the New York Express, writ ten from Raleigh. N. C., March .1860. The writer thinks us a primitive people: THINGS IN NORTH. CAROLINA. The good Old North State is such a staid State that it is a delight to look at a land and a people that have not all run to seed like the poppy, and that has really some of the old stamina left. The isms have not reached here, nor tlie ologies, nor the ites. They hang a man for murder, and they w hip thieves and robbers, and put lesser rogues in stocks and pillories, as did our English" Fore fathers, or as, did we. before we invented Peni tentiaries and Sing Sings to lock rogues up in. What is. wonderful to say. all men here, all of all parties, while they boast if their Lunatic Asylums, t heir Deaf and Dumb institutions. &c, boast not less, that they have not a Penitentiary in the State! The rogues and rascals they tell us, quit them, that is. quit the State, after public exposure, in the pillory and stocks. Even New York pick pockets shun the practice cf their profession" in the Old North State, because no-" gentlemen " like them would wish to have broadcloth thus soiled, in the face and eyes of everybody. These relics of antiquity, these stocks, the thirty-niue lashes laid on a thief s back, they reason, one and all, are better invent! mis not only for the correc tion, but for the prevention of crime, than all the penitentiaries and prisons in all the other States. Are they right, or are we wrong I Have we ' pro gressed" .backwards, or do they need going ahead I A PRIMITIVE STATE After a few days tarry in Raleigh, I have come to the conclusion that this is now the only really fresh, new, virgin State in the union. I mean not, lhat its soil is new or virgin or that it is fresh like California, or Minnesota, but I mean that, it is novel, new, fresh, virgin, in' its very antiquity. "Progress" has not got. here ; that is, that Pro gress which turns things upside down and inside out, and that ploughs so deep as to turn all the loam under and all. the sand over that loam. The politicians-are not thieves or robbers as yet. They do not enter into polities just now to make money ; but strange to say, and this shows their virginity, for pleasure or for " glory -'V The loco motive is here, sputtering all about,' and putting his ho.-e into eveu the venerable and far-renown ed mountain region of Buncombe, but the loco motive -is not yet a politician. The State is not Gridiro-ned New York city fashion; If twen ty North Carolina Senarors, slave-holding rascals as they are, were to do what twenty New York slaveholder-hating Senators did in a night and day session, all ot them would go into the slocks or the pillory, and receive thirty-nine lashes in addition. so much " behind the age " are these Furies Conscripti of Buncombe ! Every thing thus runs in this ' old-fashioned, primitive way. The people speak the English, all of them, that we in New England spoke in our earlier days, as defined in old Perry's how abolished dic tionary, or as set forth in Webster's ABC spell ing book, where the old man found the rude boy." &c, &c." Stealing mean stealing here yet ! And lieing. lieintrl A robber is a robber, whether dressed in broadcloth or rags ! When a lady is 'out,'' she is "out,' not at the head of the stairs, listening to hear w ho rang tlie bell, or w ho knock ed at the door! Blessed people! What a pity it is that, on the railroads will sooner or later come " the spirit of the age !" The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in. the United States Iris published the following letter, announcing the Canonical admission of the Episcopal Church in Paris into uuion with the Church here: J Hartford, March 12. Rev. and Dear StR : I have received satis factory information that an American Protestant Episcopal congregation has been duly organized in the city of Paris, denominated the "American Protestant Episcopal Church ofthe Holy Trinil v,'' aud that the said congregation has fully complied with the provisions ot' Section 3d, of Canon' ft, of Title III. of the digest. It has, accordingly, in conformity with the third clause of said section, been duly received by me under my Episcopalju- risdiction and government. In communicating to you this information, in obedience to a provision -ot the Canon, 1 cannot forbear to add my hearty congratulations to the members or .our Church on this auspicious move ment, and I heartily commend the subject to their patronage and support" . Verv truly, your friend and brother, " T C. BROW NELL, Bishop of Conn", and Presiding Bishop. To Rev. Dr. F Vinton. - Revolving Bracelet. A New York letter describes a piece of jewelry which is destined to make a sensation among the " eniale persuasion I is a strap bracelet of tine link chain, of a quaint Venetian pattern.. The centre set iu a circular head, is a cluster jof diamonds, having an outside waving edge -f black enamel, divided into twelve compartments, each nestling a dazzling brilliant. Between the edge and the central glory is a vine of fine gold, in w hat sailors term, 44 round turns," each turn embracing one of this cluster of dia momls, and from this vine, .buds of fine diamond burst into light. But in the centre of all are two wheels, set in black enamel ground, each having eight arms, and each arm twelve diamonds. These wheels turn on a common axle, the hub be ing the largest diain uid of all, and by an ingeu i iis piece of machinery which is wound up with a key, these wheels are made to revolve iu oppo site directions for two hours Imagine the effect of this pyrotechnic display in a brilliantly light ed sal -on, with a fair plump arm beneath it, if you can ! Wrhat admiration it would command from the men ; what eiivyings and heart-burnings it would excite in the women.
