C, IssttiiihH at Matter of Importance td New Berne, Our readers will pardon us for con' tinually haajmaring at atubjtjtj which wear sare-ig of as much interest to them, and possibly more so, than it is to the Joukkal, but for some time we have been bent upon schemes wbioh, if put in operation, will necessarily aid in re viving the business of this city and de veloping this section of country, and we are not quite wit- ling to give them , up. The schemes to which we allade are, the building of a railroad through Jones and Onslow counties to Wilmington and the extension of the A. & N, C R. to Sanford, where it will. Up the Cape Fear and Yadkin Vally and the Raleigh & Augusta Air Line roads. The advantages of these schemes to New Berne and this entire section bate been often set forth in the ooltfmns tt this paper. They are so palpable, and the schemes so feasible, that no oae dares to controvert then). The queeti&i now is, what steps are necessary to in augurate these measures. In the first place how shall we pro ceed to bring the people of Wilmington, Onslow and Jones county in accord with us. Wilmington baa voted one hundred thousand dollars to the Wil mington, Onslow & East Carolina Rail road Co., and Onslow county is about to vote on a proposition to subscribe sixty thousand dollars to the same road . A number of the citizens of New Berne, Onslow and Jones hold a charter for the building of a road from some point on the A. &. N. C. R. to New river in Onslow with an option on the State lands in that and Jones county, a char ter within itself very valuable. With the prospect of a road being built under tbis charter thu Onslow people will hardly vote a subscripiion to the W. , O. & K. C. H Mont certainly not unless the road h to come through to New Berne. Now we suggest that our people send a committee, composed of the President uf the East Carolina Land and Railway Co , the chairman of the board of county commissioners, the Mayor of the city, Prtsident of the board of trade. President of the Cotton and Grain Exchange, and a representa tive of any other interest that they think will aid in the cause, and other citizens who may fell an interest in the matter, to Wilmington to oonaalt with parties representing the W. O. & E. C. Co., and with the people of Onslow and Jones and endeavor to bring about some concert of action that will insure the construction of this road at once. We believe the people of Onslow will rote a subscription when once assured that the road will be built through from one city to the other. As to the extension of the A. & N. C. R. to Sanford, that can be done with out any county, town, or State subscrib ing a single 'dollar. The road has a debt of only three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. It. with the ex tension to Sanford, could float without difficulty, six hundred thousand dollars more at par and this would build the road. We would then have one hun dred and sixty miles of road with a debt of nine hundred dollars and a connection that would mora than quadruple its business. Now In order to carry out this scheme let this same committee consult the people of Lenoir, Pamlioo, Carteret, Craven and Wayne and present the matter to the Governor and to the stockholders of the A. & N. C. R. We have shown conclusively in former articles that the A. 6c N. C. R never has and can never pay a dividend on its stock so long as its terminus is at Goldsboro, and It is confined to local bniiness. The State b paying annually between fifteen and twenty thousand dollars iaterest oa the bonds outstand ing for the otmatrnottea of the A. W." O. R. and it Is not and sever will, with out an extension of this road, , get one oent in return. We think It would be bettef for the State to sell her iaterest outright to the C F. & Y. V., but if that road b not willing to buy then let the extension be made. We have given heretofore ample- proof that the State, the DflvaW stockholders and all con cerned will be benefited by this ettez- ionVthen" wh ncVthake an effort to, get it f TOiy slf liersj aR tbe ttay Idle whUe bur netgebortnf towns are gfcr Ing and oatokmjfoti WeVery5 erteryrYse catoalatedtd tfvanplornttMM their people; and bailsT ap'thalr'wasie places. t .

Our correspondent "H." seems to be of the opinion that the dignitaries who meet b Philadelphia on the 17th to eel e brats) the one hundredth anniversary of the Oonetltntiou, are on a fool's errand, ai ha claliaa that the century wpl not expire before sometime la 1838 or '9. W learn from history that after the war which resulted in the recognition, by thsS4Taother country ''.of the colon ies as free and. independent Stales, that the Congress of the then united colonies recommended a convention composed ai delegates from each State. This con vention met at Philadelphia in May 1787 and proceeded to frame a new constitu tion. Their work was completed and agreed upon on the 17lh uf September 17B7, and we presume it is the work of that convention, namely, the framing of the constitution, that will be cele brated at Philadelphia, on the 17th. it being the one hundredth auniversnry of that event. Our Shad Fisheries. Mr. H 11. Worth who ban been Bent here by the officials at Washington in the interest of the shad fisheries of this section, has finished his inquiries con cerning the industry on the Neuso and Trent, and left yesterday for the i'amlico river and North counties, lie has found in tne Neuse a large increase in the catch, occurring in the last two seanone. w hich is attributed by the greater num ber of persons who have expressed themselves, to the planting of voudk fish made three and four years ago. Mr. Worth states that the Neuse never re ceived a greater number of young shad in a single season than a million, and! that the actual cost of that number of fry, produced from the most improved stations, amounts all told, to less than $200, one hundred and fifty dollars be ing nearer the exact amount. ua the Neuse tne catch of shad is about squally divided between St stands of set gill nets, (representing seventeen thousand fathoms,) and nine seines be low, and forty drag-nets, twenty four seines and three hundred ekim-cets above New Berne. The shad delivered into the hands of dealers in Nsw Berne this season, a smaller number than last season, amounted to about fifty-three thousand. NEWS N0TS3.

Editob JorRlfAL: Tt seems to me that tha approaching 17th of September is not the natal day of the constitution of the United States, as it was not estab lished, or endowed with legal life on that day, or any other day in the ?ear 1787. The constitution, as a document, was finished, signed and pionuulgated by the delegates from the several Slates who had assembled for the purpose of framing one, in order to form "a more perfect union,' but it was entirely without life: it w as null and void until the Slates so adopting it breatled iuto it the breath of life uad made it a living soul. Daniel Weboter declared iu his great speech iu Ib'd'S that "The constitution began to speak only after its adoption; until it was ratified by nine Stales it was but a proposal the mere draft of an instrument, it was like a deed drawn but not executed, it was an inoperative paper it had no authority 11 sixjke no language. ' After the p!a!i of the i onolitutioa as made known ami e- u t tin it f i to the several States, Alexander Hamilton in the ratifying State convention in New York, said "the delegates assembled in convention had no power to establish. but only to recommend a government. " He was a federalist of the most ultra type. Madiaou and Jay held the same opinion, this was the general under standing at that tune vtiihlhe loading men throughout the llnrti on Mates. The constitution itself declaiec that 'the ratification of nine Stales should be declared sufficient for the establish ineol of this constitution between the States ratify ing the same. So it nee me that ratification nas to 'esla' lisli. that the States were lo ratify , au i thai the States established the constitution.' But thrtt Slates ratilled in 17m?.

Now, Mr. Editor, (he funnv ami ridiculous part of the whole centennial businese is, the fuss that is made over it by the Northern people they have gone into eesiacios and glorilications. spent millions of money, rannaekel Europo to get visitors to witnese the performance, and all for no other pur Iose than to celebrate the birthday of a written document, that they or a great portion of them declared to be ' a cov enant with the deyil and a league w ith bell 1 ' Oh temporal oh mores! When the Slates seceded from the old constitution they acceded to the new. old things had passed away and all things became new. The old ("onKreas of the Confederacy and its olllrcrs con tinued to act until the new constitution went into effect. In view of this plain t-talement of facts, how, or in what way or manner, or by what mode of urgiimint or reas oning, can one so construe the proceed ings of the delegates assembled in 17s7, as to pronounce September 17ih. I"1-?, as the proper day on which to celebrate the centennial of the constitution, w hen the proceedings of the delegates aseem bled in 17S7 had no more legality than apiece of waste paper until those pro ceedlngs were ratified by nine States. It is like a son celebrating the 20lb an niversary of his parents' marriage, and selecting the day of their engagement as the ?0ih anniversary. II The Verdlrl t'nanlmoim. W. D.

Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the liver, kidneys or blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at R. N.
