We have now occular de monstration of that, which no man would have believ ed, thirty years ago, to be within the compass, of hu man power. Truly has it been said, that the last few years have unfolded more that is novel, vast and won ilerful, than the whole eighteen centuries of the Chris tian Era. The Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road is 86 miles in length, and has been constructed altogether by indi ridual stockholders, the State having uniformly declined embarking in the enterprize. More than usual difncul tie have presented themselves In :the progress qf the work, overand above the natural obstacles, but they have all vanished before determined purpose and bever-tiring energy. The whole line is now 'nished, Is said to be admirably built, and reflects high credit on the President, Engineer, Assistants, and, indeed,all connected- with its construction. We hail the rum tlins of the first Locomotive, as the glad omen f fu ture prosperity to our City, and county, and feel that v? e shall not be disappointed. t v IS IT A FAIR TEST ! Ve understand that Judge Sai?jcdkrs, in his Speech i at Pittsboro', as well as at Hillsboro'.ln vindicatiag him- self from the charge of a want tf patriotism, conjured up i the shade of his father, who was a good ' Whig, and j who sealed his principles with his blood in our Wao I Independence. The noble deeds of that noble Whi; ! are paraded as proof, that the son of such a sire j be less pare, ks patriotic, Ies devoted to-him country, i t than his ancestor was. He may be aft this, bat does it follow of course! Or is it not, rather, what the Law yers would call a hox sq.uitcr? Was tnever heard, that unworthy sons shamed their noble Sires 1 Gen. Saunders is a Lawyer has he never been ern plojed to defend an acknowledged rascal from, an in famous charge, in whose veins coursed honorable blood He was Attorney General has he never officially prosecuted high-born scoundrels for offences, which crimsoned an honorable parentage with blushes, and brought the agonized authors of their .being with shame to the gravel He was a- Judge has he never pro nounced sentence of death, orK of, ignominious punish ment, on a degenerate son,, who has spurned the coun sels and scoffed at the exemplary 'conduct of his pious father, and plunged into wretchedness and crime, un til the law was forced to make him its victim ? , But admit, that the. purity of his father's character is proof positive of the Judge's own merits is it not a bad rule that does not work both ways 1 And was it not in bad taste, to say the least, for the Judge to make a test of this kind, when, only one little week be fore, in his Letter tci H.L, Holmes, in commenting on the character of Gert. Harrison, he imputes to him, principles worse thaui traitorous? Did the gentleman lorget that Gen. H. is the son of a noble Sire 1 Did he forget that Benjamin Harrison was patriotic and ' brave T, If illustrious parentage, and brilliant service in Revolutionary days, avail any thing, ought the Whig candidate for the Presidency to be so violently assailed? And especially, when, in addition to this, he can point tHrs ows splendid achievements, and to his ows wounds received in successful battle and all in front ought his purity to be so lightly questioned . . There is now, on our highest Judicial bench, a gen tleman whose father was inhumanly murdered by Tories the partner of whose bosom fell a victim to the horrors of the invasion of Cockbcrjt n our last War a gentleman, whose talents and services, in every tation, are above all eulogy. And yet, upon this gen-f man, noisy demogogucs, and those with whom Judge Sflnnrlaw, : " - 1 1 1' . , .1 I . -" is ossuciaieu, nave veiueu uie very uuieruess of gall. - Many of the Whigs of the present day lost fathers and friends in the old War of Independence ; but does that consecrate their pnnciples now ? Let Judge Saunders but agree to this as a test, and he may rest wsured the Whigs will, also, most cheerfully abide it. OCj When the-new arrangement of the Mail takes place on the first of April, we understand that the Northern Mail will arrive here about Sun down. dTj' Col. James Gadsdeh has been unanimously elected President of the Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston Rail Road Company. NEW LIGHTS. Sine South Carolina has been yoked by Mr. Cal- "ocn to the fortunes of this Administration, for better orworse, Mr. Van Buren has discovered that Charles ton is a most marvellously proper place for a Naval Station. Accordingly we perceive by the Charleston Papers of the 19th inst that such a thing is no sooner bought of than done ; and Capt Shubrick has ac cordingly been appointed to the command of the Sta tion, i ' . Parties have hepn kti nirv halnnrl in Ithft TTnnoA f i, Loco Focos have availed themselves of it, to charge the Wuga kith wasting the publU tme.

The very best endorsements, almost, of Gen. IIar- hison' noble character, are furnished by Pol. R. M. J ohnsonThomas Ritchie, John M. Niles (late Loco Foco Senator from Connecticut,' and Isaac Hill, the Loco foco Governor of New Hampshire ! "Out of your own mouths, are you condemned." A DILEMMA. ThejVan Bureniteis, who have been making such an outcry against Gen. Harrison, about his idea of appropriating the Surplus Revenue to the purpose of purchasing and colonizing slaves, are brought upujdl sianaing Dy me asiounuing aiscovery, mai ivir. j fcr fkrsok ib the original author of the proposition. Ac cording to their new1 code of ethics, whatever the great Apostje of Democracy did or said, is orthodox ; and they are reduced to this dilemma, either that they must acquit Gen. Harrisoit, or impute political heresy to their great teacher and leader I VIRGINIA. William M. Peyton, for many years a representa tive in the Virginia Legislature, and at the last election one of the most efficient supporters of Mr. Van Buren, has come out in favor of Gen. Harrison, and is an nounced as a candidate for the House of Delegated for Roanoke county B.G. Payne, for more than 20 years a delegate in the Virginia Legislature, for the county of Fluvanna, and one of the main pillars of the Democratic party in the State, has come out in a very able address in favor of Gen. Harrison. The county of Fluvanna gave Mr, Van Buren a majority of 250 votes in 1836, and will now; give a majority in favor of Gen. Harrison. Ej, Fontaine, (Conservative,) Senator from the Loui sa district, has also published a powerful address in fa vor of Gen. Harrison! VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. This body adjourned on Thursday last, after a ses sion of 109 days, and the passage of 199 Acts, pub- lie and private. No further effort was made to elect a Senator in place of Mr. Rivas. , NiriTii.'-ivr- up "V i Remember jthat the argument 0 the Loco Focos, in favor of the Sub-Treasury, is, that it will rtduct . 1- the wages of 'the laborer Do yon, who are depen dent upon your daily labor for support, believe that your wages are too high!

(Thank God, eery1Jthing looks bright. Gen. Har rison is taking possession of the hearts of the people. From every quarter his nomination is responded to with enthusiasm. Already the powers that be, are be ginning to pale. before his name. The more they abuse him, with the greater zeal will the people support this pure patriot. There is a popular sympathy incited by this nomination which will astonish both parties. His purity of character, his poverty, the -great services he rendered his Country in the field, his freedom from tbe bitterness of party feeling, and his disconnection with the heated conflicts that have rent the country, present him to the people as a Cincinnatus. The Country is in the deepest distress; patriots are dismayed; thousands and thousands, who have supported the present Ad ministration, are tired of experiments and long for peace and prosperity once more; Upon this Farmer veteran, the eye of the nation is turning, and the heart too; and 1841 will see him leave his Farm for the Ex ecutive mansion, I he cry of abolition against him is false and infamous, as it was against Henry Clay, and is used for the same, motives of deceiving the South. YELLOW FEVER IN TEXAS. We have been favored with " An Account of the Yellow Fever, which appeared in the City of Galves ton, Republic of Texas, in the Autumn of 1 839, with cases and dissections, by Ashbel Smith, M. D. A. M. Ex-Surgeon General of the Texian Army." To ma ny of our readers, the author is already well known as an eminent Physician, formerly of Salisbury, in Jhis State; and his very successful treatment, in a large number of cases of this malignant scourge, when doubt and distrust appear to have seized upon his brethren, I whilst it but confirms the high opinion entertained of him here, fully entitles him to the warmest thanks of the community in which he now resides. We are glad to observe, that the present Treatise is but a pre cursor by the Doctor, to' a larger work, on the more important diseases of Texas, for which he has been sometime engaged in collecting materials. : ) QT By a late Act of the Legislature of Alabama, the personal attendance of Females as witnesses at Court in Civil cases, is dispensed with their private depositions are substituted in all cases. PETTICOAT STORY. We are astonished to hear that Judge Saunders, in his public addresses, whilst disclaiming to rely ?pon Newspaper reports as proof of his assertions, should stoop to notice the stale slander, about the Ladies of Chilicothe, Ohio, voting Gen. Harrison "a red flannel Petticoat," The "Fayetteville Observer" gives the following account of its origin: . M. Allen, the pre sent Senator in Congress from Ohio, first started the story in a Speech, soime years agoThe ladies of Chili cothe immediately denounced it? as a falsehood, and a Brigadier General of the Ohio miUtia, published Allen, who was a Major in bis regiment, in the newspapers, as a liar arid scoundrel.

' f , ; A FORCIBLE ILLUSTRATION. The ''Charlottesville Advocate" says, that Gov.B ab- bock was accidentally present at Albemarle Court, and was drawn out by the general call of the people, to make a speech. He spoke for half an.hour, evident- ly without premeditation, and in his most racy and fe licitous vein. The "Advocate" continues The immense expenditures of the last and present administrations, amidst their load professions of rigid economy the innumerable unjust removals and bad appointments of public olncers-tbe embezzlements and frauds, which Mr. Van Buren had connived at and profi ted by in his underlings and the vast importance of confining the Presidency to four years were Gov. B's. chief topics. Referring to the alleged fact, that out qT7 irefvers nfjfliblic m6neyl53;ha(I pn4o rogues or defaulters,' he said it was impossible that their superiors and their chief, who so long overlooked these misdeeds, could be altogether innocent: and this he il lustrates by a story of a man in Orange, who had found three cow bells, one after another. A shrewd neigh bor said to him, rwhen you found one, I thought you a lucky fellow; when you found the second, it looked a little suspicious; but since you ve found the trurd,- dr-n me if you did not steal them every one ' t So, laid Gov. .B., if. one, or a few only, had filched the public money, it might have been unavoidable : but since it comes to 63 out of 67, depend upon it, their masters have got some of the plunder. OUiers of his illustrations were not less apt, and striking; Gov. Everett, of Massachusetts, on declining the nomination for the Gubernatorial Chair of that State, at the approaching election, concludes a very abl&and interesting letter lo the Committee of the Whig Con vention with the following just tribute to the "honesty, capacity and patriotism" of the Log Cabin candidate for the Presidency: . "You have called my attention, gentlemen, to the resolutions adopted at the meeting of the 27th ult. as indicating "the purpose for which the Convention was assembled, and. the spirit with which it was animated. L I need not assure you, that the doings of the conven tion, in reference to national politics, have my hearty concurrence. Having been familiarjy acquainted with General Harrison at Washington, during the four years of President Adams administration, I have ample and personal knowledge of his "honesty, capacity and pat riotism." His talents are of a high order ; his general reading, particularly in thelepartment of history,' is ex . : I ... u : l i. i i tensive aim accuiaic uc ta a iuu spca&ci aiiu )juu writer, (witness his discourse on the Aborigines of the alley of the Ohio in 1838;) his practical acquaintance with aflairs is exceeoed by that of fevr in the country; and bis public services have been extended over a long er period, I believe, than those f any other man now on the stage. Warmly attached, as I have been, to the former candidates of Massachusetts, still regard the nomination of General Harrison as a most favora ble event. " The country is under the highest obliga tions to those distinguished statesmen, whose magna nimity has produced a perfect union of the Whig par ty in its support. I feel confident that this nomination will prove the means of effecting that change in nation al politics, which has become so necessary for the pub lic welfare Vs ' The country needs relief from the policy pursued by the General Government, and the intense party action by which it has thus far been sustained. The contin ued appeal to the worst passions of men, by the party press, is scarcely less pernicious than the measures, in which the support of those passions are enlisted. It is evident, from indications too plain to lie mistaken,that the People have decreed a change, and that the nomi nation of General Harrison is the instrument, by which it will be effected." ' PRINCIPLES OF THE PARTY. The Rev. Theophilus Fisk, " the Apostle of Uni versal Salvation," delivered a lecture on u Democra cy," at Carusi's Saloon, in Washington City, on Fri dayevening, March 6, before the " Democratic Asso ciation. We extract the tollowing theretrom, in order that those who are in the dark on the subject, may know what constitutes new fashioned " Democracy." " I hold it to be quite as impossible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Democracy, as it is for him to enter the Kingdom of Heaven." " I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hos tility to every form of paper money ; for myself, I could wish that these nefarious corporations had but one neck, that it might be chopped off at a single blow. I would strangle the whole brood of poisonous vipers in their own folds they should perish by their own venom. In this " war upon the currency," I have enlisted during I f e" " A popular hurricane that would .sweep our army of Federal lawyers from the halls of legislation a political earthquake that would engulf our thieving manufacturers of paper money in one huge pandemo nium would be the richest blessing which could be bestowed upon this, otherwise, happy land," " Our banking corporations are in the field waging an open war with the Government of our choice ; and how stands the case at this tremendous crisis 1 Are you preparing to help onward the wheels of this pon derous juggernaut which is rolling over the people, covering them with its pollution and crushing them to the earth." " Should we see one man owning an hundred houses, and ninety-nine men without any house at all! To answer affirmatively, would be a monstrous libel upon both the justice' and benevolence of the Almighty." " And vet the upstart scions of a contemptible aris tocracy, dare to turn up their delicate noses at the sun burnt faces of those who produce the very bread they eat ; they have the unblushing presumption, to speak contemptuously Kp. oature's noblemen, whose patent was derived from the. Deity himsell. " Why is it that the-eons of industry toil on from year to year for a-bare. subsistence, and the nabob, who never toiled an hour in his life, is clothed in purple and fares eumptuously every day 1 Why is it that those who provide the feast, are compelled to stand and look on while the drones gorge themselves to. burstinEl" ' " In case of an invasion or insurrection, the large property holders are seldom returned among the list of killed or wounded tney are more generally among the missing when the tug of war comes on." Anotheu Sign. One of the most ardent, devoted, and clamorous friends of Martin Van Buren, told us yesterday, that he was hearti ly sick of the doings of the Administration and that he would go for Old Tip.

The Sub Treasury bill was then taken up in Com mittee of the, whole, and Mr. Cashing resumed his re- marks, and continued his address till past three,oclock; when Mr. King obtained the , floor. The Committee rose and reported progress, and the House adjourned. : The Senate took up and discussed the bill to pro- vide for the payment of damages sustained by individ- uals by ars with the Indian tribes since t830; the bill for continuing the Cumberland Road, and the bill more effectually to secure the public money in the hands of Officers and Agents of the Government, and to punish public defaulters but noiaterial vote was taken upon either of them. 1 Wasiusgtox, March 19. Yesterdayi Mr Vroom, another member from New Jersey, was sworn and took his seat. Mr, Tilunghaslf from Rhode Island, succeeded in presenting the Resolutions from his State. Legislature, which be offered on Tuesday, protesting against the bill at present before the Senate for ceding the Public Laid4o the several States respectively in which they are located, and which, the Resolutions state, the pro ceedings of the Senate indioate that the Administration of the Government approve oT, and reiterating the opin ion which had formerly been expressed by that body, in favor of Mr. Clay's bill for the distribution of the proceeds ot the sale ot the irubuc Lianas amongst the several States. By general consent, these Resolutions were referred to the Committee of Public Lands, which has nowise ore it Resolutions from some other States on the same subject. Mr. Brown, of Tennessee, who had the floor, on the subject of printing certain documents in relation to the New Jersey election contest, continued his address, principally in reply to Mr. Jenifer, until the morning hour expired. Mr. Jones, Chairman of the Committee of Ways ..... wV..VVj - - and Means, theji moved that the House again go into a Committee 'of the whole on the Sub-Treasury bill ; when Mr. Kinir. of Georgia, addressed the Committee 07 , in opposition to the measure, which he denounced as an uncomoitntional attempt on the part of the Admin istration to issue bills' of credit. He quoted the mes sage of Gen. Jackson proposing a Government Bank, ana said this bill was intended to carry into effect that object. Mr. K. in conclusion, offered a substitute for the bill under consideration, entitled a bill authorizing a loan of Five Million of dollars The substitute being read, the Chair gave the floor to Mr, Bond, of Ohio ; but Mr. Graves asking Mr. B. to allow him to put a question to the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, and the request being granted, Mr. G. enquired, of Mr. Jones whether he could inform the House what amount the Government had in deposit in the Bank of Missouri, and whether it does "not exceed the whole amount of specie on hand by nearly $100,000! By a report of that Bank in January last, Mr. G. said, the amount of the Govern- ment deposit was $825,000, which exceeded the whole aiaount of the specie on hand $69,000. . Mr. Jones replied, that by a statement which he had before" him, it appears that the amount of the Govern- epnnnV 16 1,u OI reDruary Mr. Bond then proceeded to address the Committee on the general financial concerns of the Nation until past 4 o'clock, when, without concluding, he gave way to a motion by Mr. Underwood, that the Committee rise, on which there were 46 Yeas and 44 Nays. No quorum, lhe Committee rose and stated tne lact to the House. A motion to adjourn. was negatived ; but alter various other motions, one for adjournment was at length carried. The Senate, after the presentatioh of some petitions, and a discussion on a private bill, spent the remain der of the day on Executive business. Washixgtos, March 20. On the opening of the busiuess of the House yes terday, Mr. Parmeoter presented for reference certain papers relating to the contested election in Massachu setts. The unfinished business in relation to printing cer tain documents for the Committee 6n the New Jer sey election was resumed, and Mr. Hand conUnued his remarks until the hour expired ; When the Speaker laid before the House commu nications from the Secretary of the Treasury, fhe Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, and the Postmaster General, which were referred. On motion of Mr. Jones, the House then again re solved itself inlo a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union on the Sub-Treasury bill. Mr. Bond had the floor from yesterday, and con tinued his address till past 2 o'clock, when he was followed by Mr. Vanderpoel, in favor of the bill, who, in replying to the remarks of Mr. Lkishing, -complimented him on the temperate and gentlemanly man ner of hU argument' Mr. V. spoke till 5 o'clock, when Mr. Trumbull, of. Connecticut, moved tor the rising of the Committee, which motion prevailing, he will next take the floor. The House adjourned. In the Senate a number of petitions were present ed ahd sundry Reports made. After which, the bill to provide for the payment of damages sustained by individuals by the Indian wars since 1830, was or dered to be engrossed. The Senate then went into Executive business. WAsarireTOX, March 21. After,, the reading of the Journal yesterday, the question en the printing respecting the New Jersey election was resumed, and Mr. Brown, of Tennessee, spoke in, defence of the majority, and in reply to Mr. Jenifer. When he concluded, Mr. Waterson, of Ten nessee, moved . the previous question. Mr. Botts re- monstrated and claimed a right of reply, and, after some remarks from other members, Mr. B. took the floor, airi entered on a review of the course of the majority, in which he said that he would show that not a step had been taken by them that had not been marked with outrage.

Wake County, March 19, 1840. "HAVE YOU GOT ENOUGH OF IT!" The "New York Star" says, that a gentleman who kes been travelling, for some months past, in the West, . . and. who by the way is something of a wag, states that out in that country, when you meet a Jackson-Van- Buren man, the salutation is not, "I hope you. are quite well, to-day," or "How are you to-day!" but it is, "Have you get enough of jt!" The question is per tinent and significant, and comes home to all who are suffering in "mind, body and estate" from the folly and ignorance of those who havo mismanaged the affairs of this Government for ten years past, r rom the height of prosperity we are reduced to misery and want, and all because they had not the wisdom to let 'well enough' alone. TERROR IN THE CAMP. The alarm of the leaders of the' loco-foco party hereabouts, was clearly demonstrated on Tuesday the 10th inst.
