SALE OF THE RAIL ROAD.

On Monday last pursuant TO notice, the Raleigh
and CASTOR Rail Road was sold in this City. and
bid in by Gov. Graham for the sum of 1868 OOa.
being the amount due the State under the last
Mortgage, with accruing interest. No bid was
made but that by the Governor.
Under the act of the last session of the Legis.
lature the management Of the Road is now dev1-
we'd upon the Governor, Public Treasurer, and
Comptroller, who are the Commissioners mention.
cd in the Act; and we learn, that immed atc!y af-
ter the sale of the Road, the Commissioners met
and appointed Wesley Hollester, Esq, President
thereof Mr.. HoIleser is practical man, deeply
devoted to the cause of Internal improvement, and
we regard him as eminently qualified for the du.
ties of the post to which he has been called.
By the eighth section Of the Act affuded to, ths
Governor, by and with the advice and consent Of
his Council, may now sell the Road, "for the mos
that can be obtained for the same;' and he is au
thorised provided he shall receive such offers al
shall justify it to convene the Council, "who shall
consider the proposals and decide upon them" /
is also provided in the last section Of the Act, tha
it shall be the duty Of ths Governor to stop all op
erations on the Road when it shall appear that it
proceeds are insufficient 10 keep It IN repair an,
pay all the expenses Of running the same.

by the senate. 1t is said that Mr.. Pakenham
has declared that its passage would be direct
infringement of the treaty ofjoint occupation
not because of the extension of the jurisdiction
of tho IT 8 Courts over the Americans in Or
egon; but on account of it's provisions for bull
ding block houses and garsonlng them with
U. S. soldiers. The Courier and Enquirer
has adopted the same line of argument. but
takes care not to drop hint that England does
not consider an Infringement of the treaty on
her part, to aid and abet her agent. the terrific
rial government of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany, in bnlding substantiallfort and employ
ing troops Of regulars in every part of the ter
ritory in which British settlements have been

December 5, 1915.
My Dear Sir-1n my hasty sketch to you
on the 18th October, did not finish what
was about to say upon the organization and
camp of the army. Since then, no change Of
importance has taken place, either IN the
strength or position of the forces.
The whole regular force that has ''invaded''
Texas, is now at this place, (with the excep-
ton of three companies of Dragons, which are
at San Antonio de Boxer, and Austin,) and
may be enumerated as follows:
A Battalion (or more properly Brigade,)
Of Light or Field Artillery; seUen companies of
the I'd regiment of Dragons; a battalion of
sea coast Artillery, with its muskets, Consist
Ing of attachments from the fur regiments
OF Artillery, now on the seaboard,) organized
nsa battalion Of Infantry, and the Sd, 4th, 5th,
18th and 9th regiments of Infantry; the whole
forming tFre distinct encampments, in the fol-
lowing order, commencing on the right, viz {:
The lst (or Worth's,) brigade. consisting
of the Artillery battalion, under Lieut.. Col.
Childs, and the 9th regiment of Infantry un.
der Lieut.. Col. Belknap, the end Dragons
commanded by Col. Twiggs, the ID Brigade
under the command Of Lieut.. Col. Mcintosh,
composed of the 5th and 9TH infantry regi.
ments, under Lieut.. Col. Mcintosh and Major
Brown, the brigade of Light Artillery com.
manded by Major Erving, and the Sd brigade
(COl. Whistler's,) consisting of the Bird and
4th regiments Of Infantry. commanded BY
Lieut.. Col. Hitchcock and Col. Whistler, re.
spectively. This brigade closes the left o
the line-the whole extent being about three
miles.
Head Quarters are established, for the pres
ent. near the third brigade on the left.
This brigade is the pioneer of the 'Army o

MASONIC CELEBRATION.

On Saturday, the 9th ut., the members OF
the Masonic Lodge in this town, celebrated
the Anniversary of st. John the Evangelist,
in very impressive and imposing manner.
None, we presume, butthe "brethren of the
mystic tie.'' could possibly form a correct no.
ton of the pure and exalted motives that gov
ern such benevolent and charitable institu-
tions; however, those who do not belong to the
Society appeared to be delighted, especially
the ladies', who gave evidence of their kind
approval, by their halcyon smiles.
The procession was formed about l / O'Clock.
A. NJ, and marched from the Lodge to the
Presbyterian Church, where truly eloquent
address was delivered by the Rev. James D..
McCabe. 1t would be useless for US to at
tempt to give even faint idea Of this admira-
bic address, which would soften the hardest
heart, and irresistibly impress upon it the
stamp of virtue and truth. The pathos of his
eloquent appeals went gushing like a torrent
through every avenue of the human heart, and
thrilled it 10 its Utmost centre.
We understand that the address will soon
be published, and we invoke, not only every
Mason, but the public in general, to procure a
copy and read for themselves.
On the whole, the celebration passed of
with credit to the fraternity, whom we hope,
will yet meet in that Grand Lodge that's
far awa'."

fore he had fairly SET his feet on Texas soil
he also was graduate from the Military, OF
this year.
There is no movement of troops in contem-
platien, think, until instructions to II at eff
feet are received from Washington, and what
those orders will be, can, of course, only be a
matter of conjecture. tits generally believed,
however, l think, that the, greater portion will
be withdrawn in few months, perhaps aveeks,
and only regiment or two be retained for the
protection and quiet of the frontier.
The Mexican traders that come in here from
the Rio Grande, are, perhaps. the most infe-
rior specimen Of achife men, (lf Mexicans can
be thus designated,) that have seen, and are
only equaled by the horses they ride. You
have heard Of the "lHlstany horses that roam
over the immense desert of the same name,
that lies between the Neuces and Rio Grande,
but, unless you have, and had a description
furnished yon can scarcely imagine how mean
that animal, the horse, can become, by rum
ming wild on the prairies. They are ugfer
than the mule, without possessing any of his
qualities for endurance-they are hard to make
manageable, and when rendered so, are aUorth-
less, with few exceptions.

ter mel. pros. to the remaining Indictments
against McNulty. The case upon which he
was tried and acquitted, covered every point
embyaced in The other prosecutions, and was
selected as the first to be tried. because the
chances of his conviction on IT were much
stronger than in either Of the others. He will
probably be discharged tomorrow.
The report that Judge Romulus NJ. Saun-

less premature. Whatever may be the inten-

not as yet nominated any one for the post.

" ASHINGIOS NIll Zee. SOs 1C4O
No business Of importance was transacted
in the Senate yesterday. Mr.. Atchison called
up his resolution, submitted on the 18th, d.
recting the different committees-on Terrific
ries, on Military Affairs, on Public Lands. on
the Militia, on Indian Affairs, and on Post
Offices and Post Roads-each, to make GER
tain inquiries, and to report the result to the
Senate, in order to aid in the arrangement Of
the proposed law for extending the govern
ment of the United States over American citi-
zens in Oregon. On motion Of Mr.. Calhoun,
the consideration Of this subject was postpon-
ed until "a future days" or, in other words,
until Immediately after the holydays, when
"Oregon" will be tho watchword in either
House, for month at least. Some Western
Senator will open the ball by a speech in ia
vor Of giving the notice, Immediately, for the
termination Of the joint occupancy within
twelve months; and Mr. Calhoun Will follow
next, in powerful speech, in favor of at once
extending our laws over the ,ohole territory,
and for the protection of our citizens therein
as England has extended her authority, and
protects her citizens, in the country in dispute.
He will also advocate immediate ''notice" for
the termination of the joint occupancy, to 90
