J. vwracuw umvuuvv , professing to be those that "supply those places for which no appointments were made by the Horth Carolina Conference." Among the appoint ments so made, Is that Of "Wilmington Station; Brick Church W. Q. Conner." The Editor of the Chronicle has been deceived by some one disposed to misrepresent the fact. Mr. Hefun was ap pointed to the Wilmington Station, by the North Carolina Conference, and- has been superseded by -the appointment of Mr. Conner. We refrain from any remarks on this subject, as we believe it will be peaceably arranged, and that there will be M necessity for the public discussion of the case. V TOT DEEP AND YADKIN RIVERS.

The votes in the Legislature on the amendment of the" Constitution, illustrate In a striking man ner, the power of political humbug over the minds of the people. ' It eannot be doubted butthe pre tence of the Democrats of a desire for the largest liberty, had great effect at tbo last election.' And now, when the matter it tested in the Legislature, none of the propositions that served tho purposes of party during the canvas, have received the en tire vote of the "untorrlfled," save only one, and wo are not sure that all of them voted for that. All the propitious for holding a Convention to amend the Constitution have been Voted down so with ail the very democratic democracy of the Democratic Party, they art afraid to trust the people. Gov. Rkid, In his Inaugural takes partizan ground against a Convention, und goes only for the free-suffrage bill, by legislative enactment. We doubt if any thing will bo done, and should not besurprised Ifthe "unterri fled indomitablcs" leave every pledge unredeemed. The Raleigh Register of Saturday, says : Tliero ie one circumstance connected with tho agitation of this question In the House of Com mons, to which we beg to Invito the serious atten tion of tho People. 1 Bofore the final vote was ta ken on the original Bill, Mr. Wiley moved an a mendnient, simply providing that it be submittted to the Peoplo of Norlh Carolina to say, whether they desire a Convention to amend the Constitu tionsaid Convention to be elected on the Federal basis. We appeal to the following list of Ayes and Noes, to show, how the boasted lovers of the "dear people," without regard to section, voted against a proposition, involving no expense or no sacrifice of opinion, and plainly consulting the true spirit of our institutions, while every Whig in the House, with one or two exceptions, vindicated by their recorded votes, the sacred cause of popular rights. The Democracy may not have had the cue then, but they got their reward the next day, in the vir tual approval by their newly inaugurated Gover nor, when he commended all amendments to the original Bill to the guillotine Those who voted in favor of striking out, and inserting Mr. Wiley's amendment, were : Ayes Adams, Amis, Barnes, Bogle, Brazier, A.

A disease, which u probably the Bmall l'ox, is prevailing in Charlotte, in this State. The Jour nal of the first instant reports of from 12 to 16 new cases but one dangerous caso is believed to exist. The Journal gives the following description of the state of affairs in the town of Charlotte .- "Never in onr life have we witnessed such a change as has come over our village. From one of the most business-like places in the up country wc have become ene of the dullest. The disease that has been brought upon us has done its work effectually. Very few persons from the country come to town, and the difficulty of gi tiing provis ions may operate sj-riously against some of our in habitants. Those who are able to purchase can not get what they want because nothing is brought to sell, and in some sections were they to send they could not obtain them, because the people are afraid to hold intercourss with any one from town. How long it will last it is hard to tell, but we never wish to we the like again. So jwrfect a stagnation has taken place in business that sever al of our merchants intend sending a part of their goods to the country. It is an old saving that when physicians disagree the patient dies. This has been the result hcie and our town is now suf fering we fear, from a difference of opinion among our medical men." Meetings have been held in Charlotte and other parts of the county of Mecklenburg, to make ar rangements to prevent the spread -of the disease In Sharon the citizens adopted, among other Res olutions, one declaring that no person from Char lotte, or other Infested place, should be permitted to entei their dwellings, and that no person should go from thence to Charlotte, during the prevalence of the disease, except for a physician. QUAKERS. James Bo den, of London, has written, and has now In course of publication, a complete history of the rise and progress of Quakerism in Ameri ca.

THE LATE TORNADO. We are gratified to learn, from the Cape Giran- deau Eagle, that the people of that prosperous little city are rapidly repairing the damages of the late tornado.

Kates or Freight on W. & R, R. Road. Mr. Loring Dear Sir: In answer to your very" appropriate inanlry. What good is to result from agitating the subject of Freights on our Road 1 I will say, we hope it will result in the reduction of the present tariff of freight on Rosin to the old rate, or else in such an adjustment of tha rates between Crude Tur pentine and the manufaf&cturcd article, as will produce tho same amount of revenue, if need be, and yet not discriminate to the injnry of the conn Distillers, and the consequent loss of their bust lies to the Road. You now have the proposition plainly enumera ted in duo form, and I conceive no parson can ob ject to it, with a show of consistency. Under the old rate, tho annual revenue from freights has been steadily on the increase; in -1847, it amount ed to $48 701 62 : In 1850 it reached the sum of $71,051 26; an increase during the last four years of forty-six per cent. This increase in freight revenue is primarily owing to tho rapid increase of Turjientine Distilleries ou the margin of the Road, and within hauling distance to it. The up ward freight of these Distilleries is a very impor tant item, considerable revenue is derived from the transportation of Stills, Empty bbls., Hoop Iron, Glue, Lime, &c. ; a large quantity of mer chandise Is also sent up, which, were it not for the Stills, would never find its way to the consumer. I will probably be within the estimate if I say full two-thirds of the entire freight revenue is derived from, ami paid for by the various Distillers on the Road. The argument then Is reduced to this. If tho Road haii been constantly augmenting its receipts under the old rate of freight on Rosin, and the larger portion of the freight income has been paid by Distillers, why is it deemed necessary to in crease ths transportation of Rosin 33 cr cent., and reduce the transportation of Crude Turpen tine 6 per cent 1 If you can solve that problem satisfactorily, I will cease agitating the subject. It is evident to my mind, that the increase of S3 per cent, on their freight, with the peculiar ad justment of it, in connection with Crude Turpen tine, will result in the eventual prostratioh of their business, and their removal to some other lo cality. It Is this loss to the income of the Road, and this diminution of tho export trade of Wil mington which I wish to avert, and if my bumble efforts will effect a reconsideration of the tariir of freight, and a proper adjustment of it by the Board of Directors, my object will be accomplish ed, I am aware that it is difficult so to adjust the freight bill in all its details, that none will object; some will cavil at anything, no matter how reas onable or just. But this particular case, which wc arc considering, can surely be adjusted in a manner to disarm all opponents, snd save to the Road, and to Wilmington, the large and expand ing business of the Merchants and Distillers on the line. It may be said that my opinion is pre mature, that n such effects as I have described will result from the increased freight. True, I am no prophet, or the son of a prophet; but as surely as causes produce their legitimate effects, so certainly w ill there be a falling off in the re ceipts of freight. Wilmington will lose the large export trade which now flows in a steady stream to her by the way of the W. &, R. R, Road, lt is possible that tho same amount of exports may be continued by the oening ofotheraveuues of com munication and trade; the Wilmington St Man chester Rood, and the Cape Fear dc Deep River Improvement for instance ; yet, the non-receipts by the W. A, R R Road will be none the less a loss, and if the same or similar views of commer cial policy, as is evinced by the revised rate of freight should govern the action and dictate the freights on those two cherished routes of inter communion tion, w e need not look for a very enor mous Increase of business from those two sources- If Rail Roads can't offer inducements to freight ers, superior to Plank Roads snd water courses, dried up Nix months in the yesr, it is of no use to construct them for freightage business. In conclusion, the next move will be to bring the matter, in proper form, before the Board of Directors, and if they do not, on reconsidering, concur in the views heretofore expressed, perhaps we will be favored with such data and fig ares as will convince our faculties that it costs more to transport 480 bbls. of Spirits and Rosin than it does 600 bbls. Raw Turpentine. That is the prob lem. Respectfully yours, CITIZEN. A FORTNIGHT LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. Baltimobs, Jan. 6.

Three children of a Mrs. Brown, while she was engaged in washing, were heard to scream, and upon the mother running to ascertain the cause, she fbnnd they had all been severely bitten by a rattlesnake, from the effects of which they subsequently died. While the anxious mother was absent in their behalf, her fourth child, that she had left at tho place where she was employed, accidentally fell into a large tub or pot of boiling water, and was so severely soakled that in this case also death ensued.

ACClDKNT ON THE RAH ROAD. It becomes our unpleasant, duty t record an other accident on our Railroad. The passenger train in corning down from Hamburg on Saturday last , and when in the act of turning the long curve in sight of Blackvillc, the iron suddenly open ed to the right and left, and the Engine dropwd between. The Tender and Baggage far were thrown from the track down an embankment of some ten or fifteen feet, smashing the Tender to pieces, and very nearly dragging the passenger car after them. It appears the train was just leaving the old rails and getting on to the new, when tho accident occurred. Had it not been for the slow pace nt which the E:igine was travelling, the consequences would liavo been disastrous we are gratified te say, however, that we have heard of no one being injured. About 8 o'clock p. m. the shrill whistle announced tho arrival of the long exectcd Mail train. STILL ANOTHER. The Cars in coming from Hamburg yentenlay met another mishap. They had plain sailing un til they arrived at Melton's 101 miles from this City, when both of the asscnger Cars attached to the train were thrown from tho track, from some cause or other. The passengers had to make the best of a bad bargain, and ride in the baggage, Car, with the expectation of better comfort being provided for thum at Brancbville. In this, they were dis'ppolutcd. however, as In the Columbia Cars there was no room for them, and they had no other alternative but to take "deck passage" all the way down, arriving at a sessonah'e hour (be. twecn 1 and 2 ) In consequence of the lightness of the train. B1N0ULAR TESTIMONY. During the last month there was a singular In stance exhibited at Bel Air, In Maryland, of the working of the Uw, which forbids a second trial of a person for a crime of which he has once been acquitted. Sometime ago, the body of a man named Hammond was found bearing evident marks of hit having been cruelly murdered. Sus picion fastened upon two parsons named Stump and Griffith, who were accordingly arrested and brought to trial. Stump was tried first, and ac quitted, the jury not thinking the evidence suffi ciently strong to warrant them In hanging him. Griffith was next put on trial, and on the 24th ult., verdict was returned of "not guilty," on the following singular testimony. ' fjtnmp having been acquitted of the murder, his evidence was of course adrqbttible, and he was called to the stand in behalf of Griffith. Being tworn he was asked : "Do you know anything of the murdur of Ham. mond 1" Yet." po yon know who killed him T" "Yea.'
