Wc stepjed into the establishment of oi.ffriond Myers, ou Granite Row. a day or two since, and were much pleased with the extensive atyle and manner of bis "Emporium." Such enterprises are not always appreciated by the public, bnt tbey ought to be, that is very certain! When ayoui man or old either commences ; business, sayin "Now I will make an outlay commensurate with the importance, which a place like tbis inquires, and adds. I am sure I will be sustainedwhy, it " is something. But when be says : "Justus like ly as not I will lose by it" it aint much, any how. We have no fears, however, that Mr. Mr will fail certainly not, if industry, business talents and fair dealing will upheld his enterpris -"While we sav this much in justice to ourf wor thy neighbor, candor permits us to state that he is a "shab" in one thing and we leave discrim inating and discerning public to juage from tbe facts. Never, thea, never did this gentleman make us a present of a Hat, though hahas a large .store full of every sort and sise no, nor even hat-ribbon. Had he done so, he might have got a puff, possibly- it is, he must be content wun mat ter of fact. FREE SUFFRAGE. We commence tbe publication of Mr. Edwards' Address to his constituents, oa the subject of Free Suffrage. It imparts information that will be in structive to those who have not .examined the subject, and lays down principles of republican government, corresponding with those which have been sustained and cherished in all the political operations of the Republic. . Those who go for or against a measure at the behest of party, will not find the wisdom of this address of any use to them. But all who are disposed to think and act as freemen, will be benefitted by its perusal, whether they subscribe to the Authors 'conclu sions or not. Of one thing the public may : be assured, viz., that this is the language of a Patri ot, who loves principles more than applause, and who breaks from the trammels of party to main-1 tain the doctrines of conservative freedom. Our limited space will require us to divide the address into three parts, including the tables. - It will appear in three issues of the tri-weekly and two of the weekly. . EXTENSION OF THE N. C. RAIL ROAD The Editor of the Newbern News thinks some people will laugh at the "asserted probability of our t-ver seeing in this generation, at least, a stu pendous Railway extending from San Francisco on the Pacific to Beaufort Harbour on the Atlan tic. They will laugh, but as Sam Weller would MY.walitvitl Men. and wise men too, have langhed at the bare idea of the probability of see ing enterprises accomplished that were regarded equally visionary and improbable as this, and yet have lived to sec them accomplished. True it is a great undertaking, and the enterprise is yet scarcely in embryo." This matter of laughing is a very common thing. We well remcrob r when there was a strug gle to start the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road, in which we had the honor of taking a part, peo ple did "laugh at us most consumedly" and at a later day, some three or four years ago, when we expressed the opinion that the stock of this road would reach par before long, a friend of ours ab solutely put his thumb to his nose, and spread his hand in the most approved style of cdhtempt. Our friend may consider that we return the deli cate compliment at this present writing.- Go ahead neighbors go ahead and? do not permit yourselves to be delayed by these unbelie ving sinners. What do they laugh for ? Why because it is much easier to laugb than think much less trouble to cachinate than to investi gate. COLORED SEAMEN. ; The Charleston Mcrdnry states tbattie Uaited States District Court in that city is about to try the validity of the laws of South Carolina requi ring the imprisonment of colored seamen. An action has been brought against the Sheriff of Charleston, at the instance of tbe British Consul, to recover 84,000 damages for the alleged false imprisonment of a colored British subject. This is getting along pTetty well; While north ern politicians and Foreign Aristocrats, with brazen woman for their idol, are endeavoring to bring shame and dishonor on tbe Southern char acter, the British are now about trying the ques tion, if South Carolina has tbe. right to adopt a, defensive measure, and provide for her internal safety. . -.kf We like tho remarks of the National Intelligen cer on this subject ; excepting the last sentence. The Editors say ; ; ' South Carolina claims and exercises tbe right to exclude or imprison free negro citizens of her sister States, though these, as citizens: of other! States, can plead the express immunity of the Federal Constitution ; and we do not see how a foreign State can claim privileges for a peculiar class of people which are denied to a like class of our own States-, for tbe taw of self-preservation over-rides the protection pleaded in both cases. In,-however, yielding to Sooth Carolina tbe bene fit Of the argument growing out of the first law of nature and of nations, we have always thought that she baa exercised her right with an unneces sary striugtney, an undiscriminating rigor, not called for byihei motive and object of her legisla te" . . ; The reason we object to the last sentence is, that we suppose intelligent eitizens of South Car olina, know better about tbe "rigor" required to preserve order io a community in which they live, than any gentlemen can who live elsewhere. But it is the misfortune of tho Sooth to have neighbors and friends who know a great deal more about ber own business than she does herself. There is another chtsa who tell us, be good jor we will make you bebavo. We do not exactly see how tbis is to be dooe, unless their christian sym pathy and benevolence should assume a type like Oliver Crorn weal's, who sent an army into Scotland to slay the people, because they "resisted the wort; or (v uu.-pvi - MRS. STOWE, !sarn from cotemporary that the arrange- for the reception of - Mrs. Stow? and her .is have beeto announced. ' - They are io be i at Liverpool by a committee of Gentlemen eaded by tbe Earls of Carlisle and Shaftabury bearing the, address jof five hundred thousand British,womcn . to the - women ' of, America also by a deputation front Birmingham with the avails of the Testimonial Fond raised by contribution from the readers of Uncle Tom's Cabin." A com mittee from Glasgow will escort ber party to that city,' where the Invitation to visit Great Britain originated. . From Glasgow they go to Ednbnrgli, and thence to London, where they will be rccelv ed at Stafford House." " We have no doubt the landing and escort of this woman will be described. in 'glowing colors by the British Press.- Ai , or readers must be peculiarly anxious to know all about the sayings and'doings en the occasion of this visit of the Sir Walteresa of this Union, and ber beloved and amiable sister the Black Swan, who goes to ''share and show alike" tbe honors of the occasion, we expect some graphic descriptions of these matters, from our own private correspondent, which will be received by our own private telegraphic line. - FIFTH DISTRICT. John Kerr, of Caswell, is a candidate for Con tress in tbe Fifth District, composed of the coun ties of person, Caswell, Alamance, Chatham, Ran dolph, Guilford, Moore and Montgomery. - CHRISTIAN UNION'. Te American Foreign and Christian Union So ciety, whose legislative operations are conducted in New York is steadily gaining the confidence and support of the churches. Its receipts for the year ending on the 1st of this month considerably ex cced $60,000, and are more than 6 000 in ad vance of the preceding. This is doing well for the fourth year of its existence. THE IMPERIAL LIVERY. Various decrees are published in tbe Paris pa pers forbidding, under a neavy penalty, any one to dress his servants in the livery of the Imperial color. A Paris correspondent Df the New York Times remarks : "Can it be that any gentleman desirous of an ovation in tbe street, has conceived the idea of passing for bis Majesty, and receiving tbe applause meant for another ! It could hardly be a city gentleman, who would be apt to have heard of tbe joke about Louis Njpoleon who goes about incognito under pseudonym of the Empc ror of France. But it might be a stranger from ine provinces, Jed to suppose, by the country edition of the Patrie. that the appearance of the Emperor is always tbe signal for the "most enthu siastic demonstrations of sympathetic regard." No .one must wear the Imperial colors ; but the Ministers and the Grand Officers of the Crown may place the national cockade upon the hats of their servants. This is generous and graceful. I have an album bound in green and gold, which I shall hasten to conceal ; as even this trifling adop tion of the Imperial livery might get me into trou- elc with the police, if they came to hear of it All this is very fine, and shows how beautiful "progressive" .democracy is. We bad the honor to be reproved for doubting the "republicanism" of tbe French, at the very first of their "Jim Crow" pa THE CATHOLIC PRIESTS. There is some excitement against tbe interfer ence oCatholic Priests, in our National Schools, in New Y'k and Boston. A Boston correspon dent of tfie N. Y. Times says : "I see that one of our morning papers has a lead er, against the inteference of Catholic priests, in the management of our National schools, fearing, very probably, that the great reaction now astoun ding the world may exercise themselves in the new hemisphere as they arc doing in the old. But this is a free country, and it is only fair, and also an inevitable thing, that Catholicity shall try its foil power against the growing and brightening principle of secular education. Let it be "God's Wager" bctweci them ; for the worthiest willjcer- tainly triumph. V This is all right. Let the Priests labor in their vocation, and the press of the country sustain the Protestant Basis on which all our Institutions rest, and on which alone they can be sustained. An open field and a fair fight, say we but let us have no more ojf the cut-throat audacity which characterized the conduct of a Charleston Catho lic Alderman, on a recent occasion. SARDINIA AND AUSTRIA. The followbjg is an extract from a letter writ ten by a gentleman in Turin, and published in the Journal of Commerce. It appears that matters are verging, towards a very serious position, be tween the Courts of Vienna and Turin. It apiears also that tha friends of liberty in Sardinia have no sympathy with the Hungarian movements. ' The political signs here fust now are rather squally The recent Austrian decree, sequester ing the estates of wealthy Lombard refugees, many oft whom bare Jong been among tbe most useful ibid honored citizens of Piedmont, after hans been regularly released from all allegiance to Austria by Imperial- letters of recommenda tion reduces some of our best families from af fluence to absolute poverty. Several of them are members of Parliament, one boldthe place of Minister of Public Works in the Cabhjet, and oth ers are conspicuous in various walks of private life as liberal, intelligent, and peace lie citizens. Not one of tbe number sympathizes irfeh Mazzini in his views of the means of liberating Jtaly, bat on (be contrary, deprecates hi influei. "f, and did what they could to prevent tbe reckler outbreak at Milan, which tbe Cabinet at Vienna .11 knows, though it makes that occasion the apo. jy for rob bing the innocent subjects of a weak power of many millions of revenue to replenish iuHreasury, "This Government has remonstrated, if its respectful note should be disregarded, w J proba bly address a strong protest to the sever si Powers which took part In the treaty of 181&. agrnst tbis arbitrary act of military spoliation, la direct vio lation of existing treaties, by which the subjects of the two countries are allowed to hold property in each, respectively, and contrary to the estab lished usages of civilised States. Possibly Austria intends to force Piedmont (or Kingdom of Sardi nia) to assume an attidude that might wayrant open hostilities, in the hope of being able to over throw the Constitution and liberal institutions." FATAL -RIOT. ? The sailors belonging to one of the war vessels in the harbor of Pensacola lately committed some disorder in the city which .arrayed, the. citizens against tbem." In the conflict which ensued Mr. Sierra, tbe Mayor, killed one of th sailors, and was himself seriously injured, The expedition to explore tbe China seas ami Bah rings' straits is getting ready to sail from tbe Brooklyn Bavy yard. - The Vineenoea has her stores and, most of her seamen oar board. She will carry one hundred and seventy' men; includ ing cflJcers and seamen., '."""' . . THE JIRST'STEAMER.: ."-: ( , : A correspondent asks the Journal of Commerce whether it was arr A merican or an English Steamer that first crossed tbe Atlantic Ocean. ' The Jour nal aayai,' " -'' -- 4 . I "Tbe American Steamship Savannah "was the first ship of this construction that undertook to make tbe voyage across the Atlantic." These" are the words of Marward's (Liverpool) Commercial Report, which chronicled the arrival of this ves sel in Liverpool. ; Tbe same writer adds thai ber approach to port unaided with a single sail, dis played the power and advantage of the applica tion of steam to vessels of tbe largest size. ' The ' Savannah was bnjjt at Corlaera Hook, in ibis pity, by Crocker and Fickett, for a number of genhmen,- who designed selling ber to tbe Em peror of Bussiar'."?--39ii :" ' - "She measured 880- tons, waj f hfp-rigged, and provided, with .a horizontal engine. She sailed from the city of Savannah, in Georgia, on tbe 26th May, 1819, thirty-four years ago, and reached her destination after a voyage of twenty-five days, (ac cording) to Marwade's Com. Report,) eighteen of which she was under steam, ' igji ARRIVAL OF THE UNITED STATES 2 WEEKS LATER fJiOM CALIFORNIA Burning of the Independence, and Great Ixss of Ate. - , . New Oslcan's, April 23. The- steamer United States arrived here, to-day, witb. California dates of April 1st. Tbe steamer California left San Francisco for Panama on the lstjwitb 2,230,000 in gold on freight; t 7 llie united states brought rery few passengers. The Uncle Sam left Asp'inwallor New York on the morning of the 18tfa inst. Tbe steamer Independence was lost on the I6th of February, having been run ashore on the shoals off Margarctta Island. There were 600 passen gers on board at tbe time, all of whom leaped into the sea, and of whom 150 to 200 were lost in their efforts to swim ashore. Margaretta Island is upon the coast of Lower California. . After striking, the Independence backed off, but finding 8 feet water in tbe bold, Captain Sam son ordered tho Pilot to run ber on tbe beach. three hundred yards from the main land. There the ship took fire from the intense heat of the furnace, and the flames spreading rapidly, created the most frightful consternation among the pas scngers. A heavy sea was running at the time, and all the boats were swamped in trying to get ashore. To add to the horrors of the scene, the fire reached the powder magazine, which explod ed witb terrific force shattering the stern of tbe steamer into fragments, and blew many passen gers into the air; others jumped into the sea and were carried off by the strong current sweeping Irom the shore. Many who bad previously reached the shore were unable to render tho sufferers any assistance. and were obliged to remain passive spectaters. while hundreds of men, women and children were perishing by the fire and sea. The ship finally swinging around, with her broadside to the shore, wnere ner coal took fire, and she was entirely de stroyed. The passengers saved found themselves on a barren nnd uninhabited island, without food or water, where they remained 57 hours, in a state of intense suffering. Finally, by firing cannon, they were able to attract the attention of whaling vessels lying in Magdalene Bay, a few miles off, who came to their assistance with provisions, and in tbe end took them off. The number of persons lost by the burning of the Independence is estimated at about 180, Inclu ding passengers and crew. The town of Marysville had again been inun dated by a rise in Feather and Yuba rivers. Much loss of property had occurred. ARRIVAL OF THE STAR OF THE JV EST. New Yob-, April 25. The steamer Star of the West arrived this evening from San Juan, bring ing California dates to the 1st of April. The Star of the West brings over 500 passen gers, brought down by the steamer Sierra Nevada. She sailed for San Juan on the evening of th 17th. The steamer Pampero sailed from San Juan on the same day for New Orleans with two hundred passengers. The intelligence from San Juan is peaceful and of a satisfactory character. The utmost cordiali ty of fueling existed between the officcis of the American and British war vessels. The people of San Juan held an election for city officers on the 15th, when Martin was re-elected Mayor, without opposition. Most heart rending accounts are given of tbe sufferings of the passengers of the steamer Inde pendence, nearly 400 of tbe survi vers having arri ved at San Francisco. The steamer Page, running between Sacramen to aud San Francisco, burst ber boiler io Sacra mento river, by whicb four persons were killed and many seriously injured. The boat was parti ally insured. , A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. A citizen of Louisville, and one of tbe unfortu nate passengers who took that awful leap down tbe precipice West of Cumberland, has so far re covered as to write home to his fridads. His ex perience was one whicb few would wish to share in: "I was asleep when we first got off the track, in tbe first seat of the second car Mr. H., of Walk er's sitting right opposite. I bad no time to jump off bad I known bow bad a fix we were in, but be lieving it safer to remain, on second thought I did sy. The track was only 10 feet wide, as meas ured after the accident. I thought of God, moth er, and death. The first jump was about twenty feet, my hat, saved me ; the second, I faintly re member seeing women tearing their hair, children screaming. The. third, fourth, and last jump I know nothing about, only that I fell on my head and saw a thousand pieces of timber and iron fly ing in tbe air, and then fainted. When l opened my eyes, Mr. x., wbo was lucky enough to be in one of the cars that remained on the track, was at my side mj head was bleeding profusely ; with that exception I felt perfectly well, not feeling then what I now suffer. Such a sight as I beheld, I would not look at again for all the world ; mutilated bodies, some dashed to at oms, lying under f he wheehj-fifty or sixty men and w omen, their faces covered witb blood, run ning as wild as demons mothers with bloody bands and faces,: kissing Ihe bodies of their dead or crippled children one woman witb ber dress torn off screaming and trying to lift off the stones that crushed her husband H., a merchant of Baltimore, bis leg Smashed, sat on a roek one man having lost all - recollection, staring like an idiot cries of agony and despair, and oaths min gled la the presence of deaths God is merciful that one out of us escaped. , A worse place could not hare? been found,? as we tumbled orer rocks sharp and rugged.", " '.''". ' INTERESTING FROM THE ISTnMCS. The Panama 8tar publishes a summary of tbe message of President Lopez to the Congress' of New Grenada.; He expressed the nope that tbe points of dispute between -the Governments . of Peru and New Grenada will bo satisfactorily ad justedL - He further says that the Boundary ques tion between Costa Rica and New Grenada is un der consideration by tbe ministers of both nations at Washingtonand should the jost claims of New Grenada not be admitted, steps will be taken to enforce them? .' " - The difficulty between Peru and Ecquador, rel ative to tbe Flores expedition, bad been arranged. .The accounts from Bolivia state that the British Charges dew Affaires demanded bis 'passports in consequence of not receiving any satisfaction for certain outrages committed on British subjects in Coroico, and that the United States Minister's flag having been slighted be was about doing thev same." ' v ' The Consul of Pern in Bolivia had received or ders to leave the country in eight days. . r A MONSTER ORGAN: Tha organ- in themain hall of the Tremont Tem ple, New Tbrfc, jajto present a front of 62 feet -in width, the largest pipes being 85 feet in height. It has four banks of keys and reed stops in the pedal, and is said to be the largest registered or gan in the world,'' with a single exception. The Messrs. Hook, of that city, are the manufacturers, YOUNG AMERICA. A lecturer at Cincinnati, last week, in illustra ting the freedom of thought in this; country, men tioned a rumor of a contemplated convention ?of the boys of the United States, who were going to revise the ten commandments, particularly the fifth, proposing to amend that by saying "Par ents, obey your children." AU3TRIAN VENGEANCE It is said that the process now going on against Madame Messelanyi, a sister of Kossuth, wiil ter minate in a sentence of death. The lady is, how ever, out or the reacn or tne Austrian authorities She is in Brussels, audit is expected that she, with an elder sister and their children, will soon join a third sister, already established in tno Uni ted States.
