MISCELLANY.
! - r ; - From the AskevtUe Spectator.
THE FRENCH BROAD ROAD.
The last News contains a most flimsy
and low-lived article on the subject of
the French Broad Icoad, in which it pur
sues the course it has lately marked out
for itself, as a foreign organ . It denoun
ces s for an article published in our
last m which we Endeavored to call the
attention of our merchants to the flour
ishinff town of Wilmington, and asking
them to; give it a trial in the purchase of
groceries It says that our course will
ruin the prospects of our road forever,
that South Carolinians will not assist m
building, if we ever advise our merch
ants to trade any where but at Charles
ton. A stranger seeing that precious ar
ticle, would have supposed that it was
writteu -not by a North Carolinian, for
" shame would have prevented: him from
. openly avowing such abject servility
not by a South Carolinian, for they are
high-minded and patriotic gentlemen,
possessed of as much State pride as any
.people on the American continent, and
can respect and admire it in others but
by a man who was a friend to all other
people but those whom he acknowledg
es as his brethren and fellow-citizens.
We must confess we hung our heads
with very shame when vu,read that ar
ticle, abounding in sentiments and ex
pressions unworthy of the lowest and
vilest wretch, who rots in the dungeons
of the State ! Our astonishment ceases,
however," when we reflect that the au
thor of that article is. not a native of this
State, but was raised among a people al-
ways ready, with divers others, to abuse
and ridicule our State and its citizens,
and that he is the peculiar friend and
defender of South Carolinians against
those whose bread he eats ; of foreign
paupers and felons against American
citizens, and of the Pope of Rome and
his hellish doctrines, against the Protest
ant religion.
It is only, after all, carrying out his
principles. Citizens of North Carolina,
hang your heads and hear what a pa
per published in your midst says to you :
" It," the Spectator, " urges u pon the peo
ple that it is their duty as North Caroli-
.- nians to trade at Wilmington rather than
Charleston ! Now, "State Pride " may
be a very useful article in making up
commencement speeches, and Fourth of
July Orations, and may be useful gene
rally in its place, but to our certain
knowledge, it has never tunnelled a
mountain, nor transported a bushel of
beans to market, for Western North Carolina."-
In the name of high Heaven, has it
come to this, ' that a man is to be de
nounced as a traitor to his section be
cause he speaks well of one of the grow
ing towns of his State, and entertains
the patriotic wish that he, . with others,
could spend his money there ? Or at
least, that during the prevalence of the
ye.low fever in Charleston, our merch
ants should purchase there instead of
going North among abolitionists! Out
upon such cringing, crouchiug servility!
South Carolinians. themselves will de
spise you for ii ; every true man in that
maguanimous State will honor the spir
it which prompted our article. They
have slaves in South Carolina, it is true,
but they are black slaves, negroes, and
servility among white men they scorn
and contemn. .
State prideas the News well knows,
voted four millions of dollars at "the last
legislature for the - completion of the
Central Road from Salisbury to this
place, and the very spirit manifested by
the News, was cast into the teeth ot our
representatives, and; came near defeat
ing that appropriation. We , denied
t here indignantly the insulting taunt
that our people belonged to South Caro-
lina, but alas, we knew not how truet it
was as to many ! That same town of
Wilmington voted in the Legislature for
our Cross charter, for the Western Ex
: tension, and for whatever else we asked
in the West J they are encouraged to do
so again. - ?
Now, when the News was publishing
letters from W. H. Thomas against the
French Broad ..road, and circulating
them amongst members of the legisla
ture, vc we're electioneering, speaking,
and voting for it. Which of the two
were doiug most for the road, is a mat
ter for the public to judge of. We did
what we could for it -r it did as much
;as it dared against it, for the purpose of i
.-securing a circulation (as it almost ac-1
Jvnowledgod) in the Western counties, j
n our article we said we desired very
.much a rail road connection ; with !
Charleston and so we do, because it is
our interest to desire it, and we shall be
fonnd among the foremost, according to
our means, ift promoting that Road.
We are also, strange as it may seem to
the small foreign organ, a friend to the
State which gave us birth ; may God '
bless hei; we hope whenever we forsake
defending her and her interests, that we
may sink, if it be possible, irjto insignifi
cance, as low and contemptible as the
Editor of the News has placed himself
by his own article. Pass him around,
gentlemen of the press, and let North
Carolinians pass judgment upon him.
HORRIBLE AFFAIR. 1
A letter from St. Mary's, Ga., to the Sa
vannah Newa, tiale that on the 21st of
March, a negro girt who had been Bent to
the wood for fuel, returned and reported that
the had seen a- drunken, man lying on the
pteand. A number or citizens proceeded to
the place designated, and to their horror dis-
covered the bodies of a man end a little boy
their throats cut. arid the neck of the latter
broken." The bodies were immediately re
coffnized-to-be those of T. S. Stiff and his
son. a litUe child about six years of age. It
appears that Mr. Stiff was a man of very
intemperate habits, and for a week previous
had been' partially insane, tie leu ot. jv-Ja
rj a not long ago, ns he said, to go to the
countrv. instead ol which he went to the
woods, murdered his little son and then kill
ed himself. A razor was louna tying open
by his side. Stiff was a carpenter by trade,
about fifty years ot age, anJ lormerly rest
ded iu Baltimore. - : -
I A party of twelve or fifteen
English
neoule paid a visit to tne t rencn cor
vette, the Inflexible, at Calais, a few
days since. They were treated with
great attention, and shown over the ves
sel by a midshipmanl to whom the
spokesman of the party offered a sover
eign on leaving. The young admiral
tn futuro promptly took two Napoleons
from his pocket, and said,
: u It is very kind of you to present me
with a likeness of vour queen allow
me to give you two of my emperor V
I . AMUSING.
I One day last week, as a train on the
L.oweII and balem road was approach
ing the " target " station at Wilmington,
the conductor observed the target hoist
ed, and the train was stopped. The
person who had occasioned the stoppage
of the train proved to be an elderly la
dy, who, on being requested to get a
Board, replied,
t " Oh no sir, I don't wish to go I only
want to lind out at what time 1 can go
to North Reading. 7 A fact.
