CENTRAL CHARTER.

"The Woodstock Age keeps up its war
upon this charter, just as though it were
determined 10 make a party question of it
whether or no, We de7recate any and ev.
cry attempt to make controversy between
any railroad and any political party. Rail
roads have become absolutely necessary for
the prosperity of the State: let Vermont
be left entirely without them, and she is
almost as elfectually cut of from markets,
for her produce, as she would be ifremov-
ed TO the deserts Of Africa; for she could
not reach those markets and compete with
those having superior ltcililies. l, is of
the utmost Importance for the people to
encourage roads, and he who does not en-.
courage them, we cannot regard other
wise than as an enemy to the State. But
what grounds has the Age for party as
assault upon the Central charter That
charter was introduced by member Of its
own party, and the taxation clause, which
the Age attacks was not complained Of by a
solitary man in the House, wing or loco. y
There was indeed an amendment, to sub.
ject the charter to the control OF future
legislatures, which was adopted once,

The Houston Telegraph ofthe 2lst inst
says that party of about 70 Mexican
soldiers approached within l6 miles of
CastroviIe, about fortnight ago. Capt.
Hays receivd information of their move
ments, and went out to attack them, but
they were apprised of his approach by one
Of their spies, and hastily decamped. II
is supposed that they intended to attack
Castrovllc for the purpose OF capturing a
quantity Of goods that had been deposited
there By some Mexican traders. The
traders reported that they were under the
command OF IA man by the name of Plati-
ma; that they belonged to detachment o.
Corlranores that has recently been sta.
toned at the Presideo.

Of Q dem loss in Caledonia county will

so small that it is doubtful if Slade can

LETTER FROM OREGON.

The following letter from gentleman of high
standing and character in the Oregon territory, is
published in the Platte (Missouri) Argus. The
editor of that paper, in his remarks on this letter:
says: "The time for decisive action on the part
Of our government IN regard to Oregon Is close
at hand The government mast more. The peo-
pie will it, and our " bird of Liberty" has already
taken his fight westward. A few years more OF
delay and we shall have another vexed question
of annexation engendered by our own apathy and
want Of foresight"

CONSTITUTION OF FLORIDA.

The following is section in the Constitution

ing elected to any post Of honor, proht, trust o'
emoiument civil or military. Legislative, executive
or judicial under the government OF this State
who shall hereafter fight duel, or send, or accept
a challenge TO fight duel, the probable issue o
which may be the death of the challenger, or chai
lenged or v no shall be second 10 either party, ol
who shall in any manner aid, or assist in such du-
el, or shall be knowingly the bearer OF such chat
Ienge, or acceptance, whether the same occur, or
be committed IN or out OF the State.
The Constitution also declares .
No President, Director. Cashier or other Office
OF any Banking company in this State, shall be
eligible TO the Office Of Governor, Senat Rep
resentative 10 the General Assembly Of this Stale
so long as lie shall be such President, Director
Cashier, or other officer, nor until the lapse o
twelve months from the time, at which he shall
have ceased 10 be such Presidenty Director, Cash
ier or other officer.
1t also establishes the liability of individual
khoIders, as follows: tf
Stockholders. in bank when act of forfeit
ure of it's Charter is committed when II is dis
solved or expires shall be individually, and
ally Liable for The payment of all its debts in pro-
portion TO the stock owned by each.
Il declares that no bank shall issue notes of a
less denomination than five dollars and the teglS-
lature may increase the restriction to twenty dol
lars; that all Liabilities of banks shall be paid in
specie; no banking corporation shall be composed

be granted for moro than twenty years, and no
such charter shall Be renewed; the capital of no
bank shall be- less than 100000, and shall be
created only by the payment thereof in specie
1t is probable that specnla lators in Florida will
not be anxious to enrol themselves as stockhold-
ers Of banks. Perhaps they will try Mutual
Insurance Company, with privilege of discount
ing promissory notes-without stockholders.
