THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
We are glad to learn that Senator Mason of Vir
ginia and Senator Cass of Michigan, have come
out in the Senate and denounced fllibusterisra in
all Its aspects. Though both desire the acquisi
tion of Cuba, they denounce any attempt, by vio.
lence In any form, to wrest from Spain any part
of her possessions. We believe this noble con
duct of Senators foreshadows the position of the
incoming administration in regard to onr Foreign
relations. Our readers know that we hare cor. tin
ually expressed our confidence in Mr. Pierce, in
this important matter.

takes an affectionate leave of his reaJrs. and
promises that bis " pen shall not sleep or die till

SPIRIT RArpiNOS.
Ur, Bishop Peabody, hong himself in a barn in
Grafton, Lorain county, Oblo, ft short time since.
Ho was an amiable, Intelligent and respected
young man, but became so absorbed In spirit rap
pings, when that delusion appeared lot his neigh
borhood as lo completely unbalance hk mind.-
1 t rRECOMMENDATION. ; '
Io a letter written in reply to the Whigs of Ma
sachnsetts, who lately presented him with a silver
Pitcher, In testimony of their admiration of his
electioneering services, Mr. Botts, of Virginia, ex
horts the Whigs to hold together; "to forget and
forgive all party differences and wrongs; to lay
side all heartburnings and Jealousies; for the
sake of the Common county to harmonize, and re
store confidence and good fellowship among them
selves." He wants the Clay Whigs, and Taylor
Whigs, Scott Whigs, Fillmore Whigs, Webster
Whigs, and all other sorts of Whigs, to stand to
gether united, though qniet and inactivo for the
present.
In fact he wants troops, as be says "his voice is
still for war." We hardly knew that there were
so many different titles in the family, and among
the multitude, all good, of course, it is hard to
make a preference. We believe we liko these "all
sorts of Whigs" the best becauso the application
embraces so wide a range "all sorts" meaning
any sort you like.
If Mr. Botts will have war, he must get up some
issues, and that right speedily. Being "quiet and
inactive" too long, will make the people get out
of the notion of drill, and this sort of "mas
terly inactivity" will kill tho chances of politi
cians. Get np something for us to quarrel about.
Mr Btitts, if it is only a "Virginia abstraction."
CONGRESSIONAL.
There has been nothing done in Contrcss vor
thy of much attention. Tho bill creating the ti
tie of Lieutenant General has passed the Senate
Congress will do nothing during the holidays.
THE TROUBLES ON THE RIO GRANDE.
The New Orleans Crescent, in announcing that
Carvajal, with four hundred Texas Rangers, had
crossed the Rio Grande, and was cu his march for
Monterey, says;
"It was generally supposed that this movement
on the part of Carvajal was at tho invitation of
the State of Tamaulipas, and further, that Gen
uruz, mo run i wry commanaani at uamargo, was
indirectly aiding it. The force under Carvajal'
command is said to be composed almost entirely
of the rangers called out by the Governor of Tex
as for tho defence of the frontier against the In
dians, and which the Government of the United
States refused to pay or receive into service
The friends of the movement feel confident that
by this time Carvajal is in command of the whole
Sierra Madre, and that his success is certain."
AUSTRIA.
However pacific the intontions of Louis Napo
leon may be, tho papors at Vienna are sounding
the old alarm, that a deeply-laid plot has been
formed for a revolution in Savoy of cqurse with
the object of annexing that coveted territory to
France. The Austrian Ministerial organs go fur
ther, and declare that even in Piedmont a very
strong French party exists, which would be glad
to form ft more close union with France, The ar
ticlet aro exceedingly warlike. Tbey dcolaro that
Radetski bas demanded reinforcements in Italy,
and that his demands will be acceded to.

year over 80 millions fett of lurabfty and dress

Ihere are 10 Distilleries working about 25

use in the course of a year about 160,000 bbls
Turpentino
The Uaufcing Capital employed here is SI. 150.-
000. Tbe Commercial has sought an increase of
capital, and a charter for a new Bank is asked of
tbe Legislature. One or tho other of these ob
jects should be attained.
The Wilmington & Haleleh Rail Road cost over
$2,600,000. The capital invested by the people
of this town is about S500.000. It is in excellent
condition, equal to any Road in tho country, the
great highway for the travel, North and Booth,
and for the last two years has declared a dividend
ol six per cent.
The Wilmington & Manchester Road will cost
81,800,000, capital invested by Wilmintgon 8600,
000. It is in course (f rapid construction, and
when completed will largely add to the trade and
prosperity of this place.
Our citizens hare likewiao invested $138,000 in
tho capital stock of the North Carolina Rail Road
which is being pressed forward to completion,
and which it is expected will likewise contribute
to the growing trade and importance of this town
by emptying into Its limits a portion of the re
sources of our Western Counties.
The Deep River Improvement lias a capital of

vszv,uyv oi )vnicn ou,uw are ownea ny citizens
of our town. The Legislature has rccently ap
propriated S80.000 for tho relief of this enter
prise, and iu early and thorough completion Is
looked forward to with anxiety. Should this Im
provement moet the confident anticipation's of Its
friends a new impulse will be added to our com
mercial operations. It is expected that tbe vast
deposits of our coal regions, ascertained to be in
exbaustablo and of all qualities, will, by means
of the navigation of the Cape Fear and Deep
Rivers, find an outlet here, thus opening a pew
source of wealth, the future results of which can
not lightly bp estimated.
There is a Plank Road in course of construction
from this town Eastwardly towards Onslow. '
There are 9 Steam and 20 Tow Boats plying be
tween Fayetteville and Wilmington, absorbing a
caoitsl of 8110,000. Two now steamers bare
been contracted (or at a cost pf $32,000 one of
wmcn ta passenger ooaij nas recently arrived.
There are in addition to these 4 steamers carrying
the U. S. Mail daily to and from Charleston and
this place. 2 steamboats of light capacity, 2 tow
boats for carrying vessels to sea, and 1 addition
al nearly completed, making bn tho River in all
steam boats.
There are three Rice Mills, one extensive, steam,
and 2 propelled by water.
We have 2 Marino Rail Ways of ample poer.
Tbe average Rice Crop, yearly, is about i80,i
000 bushels, worth 80 cts per bushel. Tbe vh Is
said to be the best In the world.
The popujation of this Jown exceeds, It Is esti
mated, 9,00d persons. r
An idea of the business of our town can be
gathered from these particulors. It would be
gratifying to contrast pur present trade with the
experience of by-gone years, showing the Increase
in one department and ths falling off In another,
but from the scattered nature of tbe details, this
Is impracticable. In tbe article of Tobacco, for
instance, there has been a wonderful falling off.
Ths time was, when Immenso quantities were re
ceived bere from tbe up country, and .the ware
bouses were stocked; now it Unas Its way Into
Virginia and elsewhere and our receirfts are but
small. Large quantities of Cotton likewise for.
merly oppressed our wharves, now It Is used for
manufacturing purposes above us, ,and our sup
plies are slim. Wo nolico, however, an improve-,
ment In this particular during the past year, the
receipts being allghtly augmented.'-.
In ths Ground Pea crop we have largely ad vano
ed. The time was when 5 pr 10,000 bushels year
ly, was an average crop j now It It nearly 100,000
bushels, worth from 95 cU to $1,25 per bushel as
