Johnston Superior Court There was nothing,
we understand, of Importance before the late Su-
pcrior Court for Johnston but the trial of Tobias
Godaoim for the murder of his brother The evil
dence briefly was THAI Tobias and his wife had
been quarrelhng;r that his brother had been sent
for to settle the quarrel; that -he1came, and the
brothers fought the murdered brother proving an
overmatch for Tobias that they afterwards took
a drink together and left the house, and soon after
the brother of Tobias was found dead about two
hundred yards from the house, with his throat cut
and stab in the back. The jury found the pris-
oner guilty of murder, and he was sentenced to
the gallows He has appealed TO the Supreme
Court. Counsel for the prisoner, Gen, SAUNDERS

Rail Road from Charlotte TO Camden
We see by the Mecklenburg Jeffersonian that
a meeting has been called at Charlotte to take in.
to consideration an enterprise Of considerable i'm
portance to Western North Curolina-that of con-
Meeting Charlotte with Camden, South Carolina,
by Rail Road. A meeting was held on the 18th
instant, attended by both parties: or in matters of
this sort party should be forgolten.) and commit
tee appointed to correspond with gentlemen on
the subject; and notice issued for more gene
raj meeting in April next. This Road, when
constructed, will connect Charlotte and large
portion of Western Carolina with Charleston, and
thus opcn up,a mosi valuable highway for trade
and travel The Jrfersonian says:
"By the following notice, it will be seen that our
citizens have commenced moving in the important
work Of Rail Road from Camden 20 this place
We are rejoiced al this. We need some impIove-
meEt of the sort 10 develope the rich resources of
Western North Carolina and in no direction
could we have outlet for trade, that would
be so acceptable and advantageous in every point
oG.View, as 10 Camden and thence TO Charleston.
A Rail Road 10 Charleston from this section of the
State would, we satisfied, afford the most pro-
htable stock Of any enterprise Of The sort iu the
Union; and 40 section of the country affords more
favorable facilities for the cheap construction of
Road.
"To Charleston the current of trade from This
region OF couRtry flows naturally does the
wafer down the channel of our Cata wba and i.
utterly impossible divert its by any ar-
fetal means. AnatO Charleston itself, such work
is of inca!culable importance. Il will secure for
ever that city, the productions and trade Of all
The rich valleys Of the Yadkin and Catawba and
Of all Western North Carolina, East Tennessee,
and part Of Western Virginia. country vast in !
agricultural productions and mineral wealth TO a
great extent undeveioped as yet, for The want Of
suitable outlet TO market. This Road will afford
his outlet, aud Charleston tae market"
From this place (Raleigh) to Camden, ills not,
perhaps, more than ninety miles across the coun-
ry; and we put it to capitalists and those inter-
stcd in such project, whether link between
he CASTOR Road and Camden would not also be
'ro6table stock / We hope to hear from some
on this subject. We are the advo-
ate of safe and jndicious system of internal inn
'rovement by companies, properly constituted and
trictly guarded--believing as do that some
hing must be done 10 open markets TO our citi-
ems. (isternai markets, if possiblc,) and to put
hem forward as equals in the race for prosperity
nd wealth with the citizens Of other States! A 1
Turnpike from Raleigh or Fayetteville to the
Vest Rail Road from this place to Camden,
nd a branch also from this place to Goidsboro', {
hight develope resources and advantages of the ;
lost valuable nature. But as to this we express
o opinion. Undue tire these matters will doubt {
.ss more fully excite public attention and elicit &
ON all quarters investigation and inquiry. "a
