!. A large meeting was held in Raleigh, n. G.
on the second instant, to take into consideration
the subject Of rail road communication with the
sea board. Two routes were proposed; one to
Norfolk, aud the other to the Roanoke to meet
the Petersburg rail road; for both which the Le-
gislaturo have granted a charter. The meeting
decided in favor Of tho one to Roanoke. More
than $500, 600 of stock was taken during the
day--l50 900 of itby the President Of the Peters.
burg Rail Road Company, on behalf of the citi-
zens1 Of Petersburg. This is the amount which
the charter requires to be subscribed before the
work can be commenced,
ssFrom the enthusiasm (says the Raleigh Stand
asd) and determined spirit manifested by our men
of capital in behalf of this important enterprise,
SO animating to the hopes Of our citizens, and
holding out such encouraging prospects for our
city and State, there can no longer be any doub4
that the work ,oM be commenced SO soon as the
necessary surveys are made, and be prosecuted to
a speedy completion. Indeed, it is thought by
many, land we perceive SO Confidently stated BY
the Editorof the Petersburg Constellation) that
thirty miles of the route may be finished during
the ensuing year.

A letter received in Washington city
from an inhabitant Of Texas, dated at San

patches from Gen. AUSTIN, by which we
learn that ninety Americans were attacked
near San Antonio ( now called Bexar) on the

sixteen wounded, and a fine brass piece of

was expedient for the House to sustain the
motion, if they wished to avoid the conSide.
ration of the question.
The Chair here stated that the discussion
must be confined strictly to the question OF
the reception Of the petition.
Mr.. %Glasscock resumed his. remarks in
support of his motion not to receive the Pc
tition.
Mr.. J. @. Adams rose to a point of or
der. The 45th rule, he said, required that
no petition should be debated or decided on
the day of its presentation. If the rule was
not observed, the question might be debated
the whole day, and members deprived Of an
opportunity Of presenting their: petitions.
He appealed to that rule of order, and de-
manded, he said, that the question: if it was
to be debated, should be postponed to DAY
certain. Z
The Chair decided that the 45th rule
could not apply to petition until it-had
been received; and, therefore, that it was
in order to debate the motion not to receive.
Mr.. "a: Adams>appealed from this de-
cision, and thereonasked the yeas and nays;
which were ordered.
The Chair stated the ground of his decl-
sion, and the question being-"Shall the
decision Of the Chair stand 7"

beaufort Harbor i'm North Carolina,

Beaufort Harbor i'm North Carolina.
The following extract from speech Of Mr..
Bryan in the Senate Of North Carolina, in reia-
,ionto this harbor, viii interest many Of our rea-
lors.t Tho speech was made on the passage OF
resolutions asking Congress to .remoye the OBJ.
structions in Core Sound, between Beaufort and
Pamptico Sound:
=" Any Senator who had directed his at
ten,ion to the expenses incident to the trans,
portation of munitions. of war, during, oul
last war, must be aware of the very greal
saving that would accrue to the government,
from this improved communication with our
seaports, on the coast. There were but few
points on the whole coast Of the Union, of
more importance, in any point Of view, to
the Government, than the port of Beaufort.
He believed that with the exception of New
York,and Norfolk, its inlet and harbor were
not surpassed by any in the United States
the former affording on the bar, an uniform
depth Of water, Of from twenty TO twenty-five
and half feet; and the latter, being hand
sornely landlocked, and secure from the In
fiuence and ravages of storms, was capable
of afording moorings & security for thor.
sand merchant vessels Of the largest class.
Theports of Charleston, Mobile and New Or
leans, with inlets& harbors far inferior IN point
of capacity, security, and depth of water,
were making rapid strides to prosperity and
wealth; whilst this neglected port was not
known and appreciated in our own State,
which was daily contributing much of its
substance to swell the resources OF other
States, on the ground, as alleged, that there
was no place in the State whence it could DC
exported. This was mistaken idea; and
he could assure the Senate, that was mat.
ter of great surprise to every stranger OF DIS
tinction, who. had visited Beaufort, that the
State of North Carolina had remained so
long unmindful of the fact, that she posses
sed one OF the finest ports in the Union. II
this port were located in one of the Northern
States, every point, nook and shoal, would
resound awith the busy hum Of life;'' and
shall we who have so much Just cause to
complain, that one coast is not "o one of ne. 4.
ture's avorites," reject and neglect to ap-
preciate rightly, this bountiful bestowal of
her gifts? Ifhonorable Senator'S could have
beheld the gay and heart stirring scenes
which this harbor exhibited during the last
war, they would have been struck with won.
der and astonishment that our own State,
which so many thought was hermetically
sealed up against the approaches Of friend or
foe, should have been the resort and deposi-
tory of the gay, the warlike, the rich, and
the wealth and splendos of other c,imes.

1t is said that the ports of Mexico are shut by
tho Government against the vessels. of the Uni
ted States. This is supposed to have been done
out Of offence at the number of volunteers going
from this country to Texas.
An account is also given in the papers Of New
Orleans Of the batchery of 20 men by the Mexi.
cans at Tampico, who went out as volunteers to
aid the Texians-23 Of them were Americans,
8 Frenchmen, and 2 Germans.

REFORM.

= Lee. lS..
aI@undefstand that among the reforms Of
the day, the President has signifed his in
tention to discontinue the regular series of
dinners, which, has been usual to give du--
ring the session Of Congress; and will, in
lieu of these, give aFsort of general blow
out. in the East room, to all The members at
once. 1t is very probable that the fact is
not precisely as have stated it, on the au-
tbority of run,or, but | presume the general
correctness Of the reportsny be relied on.
I presume that the weak state of the Presi--
dents health is the real cause of this altera-
ton. Although apparently in as good a
condition as he has bden for years, he has
not the strength necessary to enable him to
a,,.s..;,,~ thoso ooS,,i-Sxoehly dfatls upon MS
yieor. During these dinners, ne IS obliged
to hold conversation with those around him,
and this for three or four hours at stretch,
and. continuing into that time of the evening,
when he hns been accustomed to retire from
the busy scenes of life, TO the enjoyments
of hls private apartments. The custom is
one, perhaps, I" more honorcd in the breach
than the observance"

"Mr. Clay introduced his Land Bill to.
day. He tsasm mourning, in q state of
deep depression, in consequence of his af-
fiction, which, at the outset, he declared to
be the .seyerest dispensation of Heaven
which he had ever, experienced. After
speaking on the subject of his bill for about
half an hour, hh concluded with an tntima.
ton that he was going into retirement; that
he had risen from an humble origin, being
left in infancy nsorphan, witfra o widowed
mother, and destitute Of fortune, friends, I.a-
tronage. and even a regular education, to
contend with the world that through. the
kindness and partiality Of his countrymen,
honors and distinctions had been conferred
on him, and that he should retire with the
consciousness that he had endeavored to
Justify their kindness. by on honest, zeal.
GUS, consistent and faithful discharge of the
public duties Of the station to which he had
been called. The respect with which he
was received ON his aftfance, and the atten.
ton yielded to hin,-during the whole time he
was speaking, were most distinguished. He.
was frequently in tears. The galleries were
thronged to hear him, and the floor war lit.
orally covered with Members of the other
House. The estimates which he read,
shew that he had deeply studied his subject,
in its various details ..,
