' The tenth snp&al- meeting of the Stockholders of the Wilmington and Manchester Bail Road, will be held in this town to-day. THE PROSPECT BEFORE US. From the information we receive from various quarters,, through the press, we conclude that the prospect ! much fairer than it has been for some time past, in regard to the "panic and pres anre." The energies of a people with resources and Industry Hka ours, may be shocked for a time, bat they cannotbe paralyzed ao aa to pre vent tho working of the rocaperalim element of rratitntion to sound and hea'tbful action. The ' National Intelligencer observes : Though learn io for a time in the school ef adversity a hard le.son of " financial morality,' (as contempora ry phrases it,) we may yet. In the end, find a " soul of goodness" even In a thing so evil as a " money pressure," if only the statesman, tho cconomlHt, and the patriot, io their sereral spheres of thought and labor, shall " observingty distil it out." , ' ' It appears fiotn the foreign news that our finan cial troubles bare bad but a slight influence abroad, which has given life and animation at , homo. The sales ol stocks, which had become buoyant, amounted to nearly two millions of dol lars, on Friday Inst, in New Fork. The Banks in the Northern cities aro preparing for resumption of specie payments. The same may bo said of (those South of as. Nowhere are there iudica t'ons lb;it the financial currents are to become stagnant. It is thought that the reports of the Unnks in South Carolina do not present 'features iavorablo to an early resumption of specie pay mentsbut King Cotton will settle that matter be faro long. - A Committee of tho Georgia Legislature, to whom , had been referred the subject of defining tho duties of the Governor io relation to the banka in Goorgla which hare suspended specie payment, bare made A report which will, doubtless, be adopted. Among other sanitary provisions the -LilJ recommends is one that each Bank " claim lug the privilege of having its notes received for public dues, shall give bond and security to the State, to be approved by the Governor, for the ultimate redemption of all their bills received in the treasury, and, in the mean time, to psy spe cie for such portion of their bills as tho Treasurer may demand for the public service." Tho Banks are required to resume specie pny- menlt within thirty days after a general 'suspen sion, or on or before the first day of November, 1858, if no such resumption takes place on the part of other Banks. It appears,, in the case of these Bauks, that while the circulation has been reduced to tho extent of upwards of three mil lions of dollars, the coin has been reduced . only about 8252,000. There ate some cheering remarks in the Balti more Sun of Saturday last, iu regard to the Uni ted States Treasury. The writer says : " A verj cheerful feeling begins to prevail at t'.ie Treasury in regard to financial affairs. It is now confidently believed that the currency will l3 restored to Rs usual condition that is, that the bills of solvent banks will become again con vertible into specie within ninety days. The banks of New York hare practically resumed specie payments already. They have made Bach srrangoments towards the objoet that it will cer tainly b accomplislMtd before the 1st of Janua ry. They will lilt up the country banks with them, and also most of the sound banks in New England. " The Information directly rec.Ived at the Trea sury nifrrds nn encouraging prospect for the rev enue. Oar Importers are sending out orders for staple goods, to come in next spring. Ervn crin oline will hold its own, refusing to submit to the pressure. It is nonsense to talk of the denial of luxnries by those who can afford them. In fine, the Bank panic and tho Treasury panic aro pret ty well over." . While we believe the general business opera tions of the country will soon pursue their wont ed course, there must be, as there has been, ca ses of individual misfortune and delinquency. All cannot escape Injury, any more than the gal lant ship that outrides the storm, can be exempt from danger. Sotne spars may be carried away some of the rigging injured but all is soon re paired and refitted and she goes on bor course as though the gale had never happened to bcr. So will it bo with tho country in the prospect before us. In the caso of the unemployed, matters look much better. From public as well as private sources we learn that the "bread riots" have been conducted mostly by the entirely profligate and base. Those who piilaged a bread cart in New York, not long since, did not eat the bread, but pelted each other ith it, and it was trampled in the diit. Bat the call of the industrious and boncst on employed for work and bread, must not be un heeded, In fact it is not. Steps are being taken to make all necessary provisions, in our large cit ies, for tho destitute and needy for the deserv ing poor, and we trust that the asperities of the coming winter may be softened In regard to them. There is a large and respectable and worthy class, on whose complaints it would not be safe to look with Indifference or disdain and we are glad that those interested have concluded not to do so. BANK DOINGS. Though wo have headed this article " bank do ings," that which we are about to relate is cer tainly aa exception to the general character of our banking institutions, though it illustrates the wrongs of s me of tho crooked ones. An injunc tion baa been issued on a Connecticut Bank, call ed tbe Granite B ink of Vol on town, for reasons which will appear in the following extract from the Hartford Times : t,Tbe managers of the bank, on or about the 1st Inst, procured a package ol bills, or a pack age of something, which they called 30 000 This was paid in capital of the bank, and upon Ibis they commenced bu-iness, Ihougli on Satur day i.i they sent ibis atn package back to Now Vor k as they claim, to procuie specie for Jt. had issued S 17.000 In bill, and bad cir culated them io various paits of the country. five thoussnd dollars in bills were taken by a msn who wss to cltcu'ste them in Ohio. This man left a receipt fur ll.em.and verbally promis ed to send a note when he arrived iu Ohio. The saets were bet wo n three and four hun dred dollars in coin, one dollar bill on tho Wind ham County Bank, end a second-hand iron sate, not yet paid for. Also the receipt of.Ihe Obio man for ao.OUO in thu Granite bills. Steps have been taken to arrest the President and Directors, which will probably be done. It wul be pi 0 lifting to the friends of these gentle men to know that they have dsns nothing to de teriorate from tbeir general respectability " or to cause them to lose cast in northern Society.- TLie Bank, we are told, was strictly a Bank of circulation," established to roller the people. The Timet thinks that about two hurtdrcd more such baika would jnake business lively. NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. By an exhibit to the Directors of this Road, at their meeting in Raleigh on Friday last, it ap pears that the total amount received from passen gers, freight and mail for the months of July; A o gust, September, and October, 1866, wa one hen dred and eight thousand three hdndred and seven dollars and. seventy cents; and from the sarce sources snd for the same months in 1867, one hun dred and thirty one thousand and twenty-four dol lars and seventy-seven cents showing an increase of twenty -two thousand seven hundred and seven teen dollars and seven cents over 1866. -v r". " THE MORMONS. ' The accounts of the burning of the Government Trains, and the actual existence of Mormon re btillioo. are confirmed. Of course there will be many extravagant reports, but we believe the fscts as stated are indisputable. There will be much speculation arid incitationa to alarm on ac count of the civil war , ahead. ' There may.be much bloodshed, unless the Mormons wisely repu diate the doings of BaianaM Yoono; but nothing growing out of these expected events will retard the progress of our country to greatness and glo ry. A crushed rebellion will strengthen .not weaken the government. :?-! -. , FROM OREGON. !r The intelligence from Oregon is to the 8t . ult. The Constitutional Convention baa closed Jts ses sion, and the pew, Constitution was to-be submit ted to the people for ratification, the- 9th of No vember. The San Francisco Globe says : ' '." , "The schedule provides that each elector: who offers to vote upon this constitution' shall be ask ed by the judges of the election, this question 'Do you vote for the constitution, yes or no 7 And also this question 'Do you vote for slavery in Oregon,' yes or noY And also this question 'Do you vote for free pegroes la Oregon, yes or no V And in the poll books shall be eolums head ed respectively 'Constitution, yes; 'Constitution no;' 'Slavery, yes; 'Slavery, no;' 'Free Negroes, Te:' 'Free Nesroes.no.' And the names of the electors shall be entered in tho poll books, togeth er with their answers to the said questions under their appropriate heads. If this constitution shall be accepted by; the electora. and a majority of all the votes given for and against slavary, ahall be. given for slavery, then the following section shall be added to the Bill of Rights, and shall bo part of this constitu tioo : "Section. Persons lawfully" held as slaves in any State-,. Territory, or District of the United States, nmJpr the laws thereof, may be brought into this State, and such slaves and their descen dants msy be held as slaves within this State, and sball not be emancipated without the consent of their owners." . ' And if a majority of such votes shall be given against slavery, then the , foregoing section sball not, but the following section sbsll be added to the Bill cf Rights, and shsll be a part of this Con stitution : " "There shall be neither slavery nor involunta ry servitude In this State; otherwise than aa a punishment for crime, whereof the party sball have been duly convicted." And if a majority of all the votes given for and against free negroes shsll be given against free negroes, the following station shall be added to the Bill of Rights and shall be part of this Con stitution : . . .r - , "8xc. . No free negro or mulatto, riot resid ing in this State at the time of this Constitution, shall come, reside, or be within Ibis State, or hold any real estate, or make any contracts, or ' main tain any suit therein; and the Legislative Assem bly sball provide by penal laws, for the removal, by public officers, of all such negroes and mulat tos, and for their effectual exclusion from this State, and for the punishment of persons wbo shall bricg them ii-to the State, or employ or har bor them therein." LTNCII LAW IN WESTERN NEW YORK. On Thursday morning last one of those terrible cases of lynching which have characterized the Southern Stats took place at Bushville, N. C The Watchmen ssys: A man named William Terpen ning lives in that place, wbo has the reputation of doing many of the evil acts perpetrated in that neighborhood. A day or two previous a cow belonging to an In dividual with whom Terpenning bad quarreled, was "barn-strung," and suspicion at once rested on the scapegoat of the neighborhood. It is said that the evidence is rstber strong against him. About 12 o'clock on Thursday morning, eleven men broke into Terpenning's house, tied a rope aroand bis neck, and dragged him from bis bed. Tbey then tied his bands bebiod him, took biro to a secluded place, about a mile from bis bouse and commenced whipping bina with horsewhips! Tbey told him that they would lash him uutil be1 owned that be bad cut tbe cow, but be denied having done so. They then tied bis feet, and took turns at whipping, occasionally resting ao ask him to confess; but bo continued to protest bis innocence until about 5 o'clock, when, be says, fsariug that they would whip him to death, and tbey swearing that they would do ao If he did not own it, he acknowledged that be had bam strung the animal. He waa tben taken to the bouse ol one of the party, and, be alleges, bis body expos ed in an indecent tranner. " ' , Terpenning's wife followed the party, and was close by all tbe while they were maltreating ber husband. Sbe beard him cry and plead with them not to kill him, but dared not go to bis as sistance. After the whipping waa completed, sbe took his clothes to bias. Tbey dressed bint, again tied his bands aud feet, and In this manner be was brought to Monticello on Thursday morning. From tbe appearance of the body he most have received from three to four hundred lashes.. His whole person waa cut and bruised in a shocking manner.' Eleven of the lynchers have been ar rested. . EXCITEMENT IN CHICAGO. The City Sexton Robbing ike Graves. Great 1 excitement has been produced in Chicago by tbe detection of Martin Quinlan, tbe city sexton, in 1 the act of rifling tbe gravea of the dead, and ship ping them off Io wagons. Eli York, medical student, who resides in South Illinois, wss arrest ed at the same time, but Dr.Brainsrd, tbe presi dent of the Medical College, became bail for him It is supposed Inst Qnintan bas been for a lotg time iu the practice of robbing graves and selling tbe bodies to tbe Medical '. ollege.

S Train bf Uu Morgans Te ' Walker Expedition and enr Government Central American Policy Sale of Ike Fort Rip. ley Reservation, d?c Tha reports which came to us of the capture and destruction of tha wagon train bel-jiiging to tbe Uiah expedition, tbouzh not confirmed. a probably true; ani, if ao, it is but an earnoat of the hostile inteutioos aod plans of the Mormons. Tbe expedition is well supplied with provision for a wiuter campaign, but the troops mast en counter much hardship from the rigors of tbe climate, even if they do not encounter the rifles and "breastpins" of the Mormons. It is even supposed Ibst tbey will go into wiuter quarters at some place this side of Salt Lake City, aod be prepared for operations in the spring. It seoms improbable that the fillibusters under Walker will be intercepted by any United States vessel, though orders were sent to New Orleans toffit out one vessel and fast-sailing ateamer in pcrsnit of tbrFashion. There was no steamer there, it is said, of a suitable kind for the ser vice none " that would be likely to . catch the swift steamer F .shion. , The force accompany ing Walker is so inconsiderable that It m y well be supposed that be will, as bas been suggested. disembark at Csmpescby, and remain there till he shall have been reinforced. Ilia agricultural colonists sppear to bar been saiJeoiv converted IntofiUibu'ters, well armed for hard military ser vice. : Meanwhile, the intended movements of the gov- - ernment in regard to Nicaragua, and the block ade of the river San Juan by Costa Rica, will be expedited by Walker's demonstrations.' The ad vices expected by the mail steamer St. Louis will, no doubt, determine the government to act.' Seu'r Yrrisarl will probably be received as min ister from the de facie' government of Nicaragua, and a minister dispatched - at once to Lion. At the same time the President wilt certainly adopt aome measures for opening the river San Juan. Tbe opportune arrival of Sir W. Gore Ousely, as minister from England to Central America, will hasten the conclusion of such arrangements aa will restore order in these States, and re-apeu tbe Nicaragua transit. Tho departure of Walker will sot, therefore, aerlously embarrass the police of tbe government iu regard to Costa Rica and . Nicaragua, but will furoib a motive for prompt action after a very tedious delay. leans that tbe sale of the Fort Siply reset ra tion la Minnesota Territory, w-ill not be confirm el.
