BRlGHT-The Charleston Mercury of Tues
day morning, in his leader headed " The Con-
Meeting Link" after alluding to the probabili-
ty Of the abandonment of the " Metropolitan
route" goes on to urge upon his readers the
idea of building a Rail Road direct from Raj
eigh, n c., to Charleston. This Certainly has
the credit of being novel idea, when the rea-
der will take into consideration that a char
ter has already been obtained for the construc-
ton of Rail Road from Raleigh to Camden,
a shorter distance by one-thrd, than that pro-
posed by the Mercury, and that the books of
subscription under that charter have never yet
been opened, he may form some idea of the
novelty of the Mercury's scheme. Why the
'' Metropolitan route (now it would seem an
&c obsolete idea,'') would, had it been construc-
ted, have made the distance between Richmond,
Va, and Augusta, Geo., at least 10 miles
shorter than the Mercury's scheme, and still
the &c Metropolitan route" is abandoned But
the Mercury winds up his article by saying
that he evil be happy to make the Mercury
the medium of any information calculated to
assist in forming correct judgment upon the
subject Under this kindly invitation, we
would take the liberty of correcting very
material error into which the Mercury has fall
len with regard to the distance between Fay
etteville and Charleston. The Mercury puts
it down at 1O4 miles, when, in reality, it is a.
bout 200 miles from Fayetteville TO Charles
ton This the Mercury will find to be the
truth, if it will make the proper enquiries
Now suppose passenger to start from Gas
ton, n c., bound for Augusta, Geo., and trav-
Ell on the route proposed by the Mercury
how many miles must he travel before reach.
ing his destination? We answer about 4S5
miles. Now suppose the same passenger to
start from Weldon, N c., (about 10 mile:
from CASTOR, and equidistant from Richmond
Va. and travel to the same point, Augusta
Geo, on the Wilmington and Raleigh Raj
Road, the Wilmington and Manchester Road
and then on a portion of the South Carolina
Rail Road, how many miles would he travel
This is one way of testing the matter. Why
by the latter route he would travel about 4O(
miles--s5 miles less than by the Mercury
route. Then if the Mercury will take int
consideration that we have road in success

BAD BREATH, disagreeable taste in The mouth,
and many other unpleasant symptoms, are always
the result of indigestion. When the food, instead
of being properly dissolved, remains in the stomach
until it becomes in a manner putIifed, deleteri-
Gus fluid, called Septic Acid, is senetatcd in the
stomach, which, mixing with the fluid of the
mouth, is certait, not only to give bad breath. hut
is also the true cause of wasting Of the gums, a

and bowels of all bilious and Putrid humors, and
purify the blood, but they also restore the diges-

ADVERTISEMENTS see the papers Of
this State are beginning to protest against the
imposition of non-resdents, who wish to ad-
vertise in their columns. These men claim
the right to dictate upon what terms their ad-
vertisements shall be inserted, and are very
sure to fix the price one-half at least less than
it is actually worth. The Montgomery Jour
nal has taken the lead in this matter, and re-
fuses to publish those foreign advertisements
on any other terms than such as the editors
deem Just and proper. This is right, and the
example should be followed by every paper in
the State. If we advertise for less than it is
actually worth, we will do it fot our neigh
bors and friends at home, to whom we may
be under personal obligations.-Ald. Nets.
We fully agree with the Editor OF the News,
and we shall follow up the determination of
the Montgomery Journal Other Editors
and publishers may act as they see fit, but we
have no notion of working for other people
for mere song. II any body is TO be bene-
fitted by a reduction from our terms, it shall

CALCULATING. I'VE have always eschew-
ed the squabbles in which our brethren of the
press, as we'll in Fayetteville as in Whining
ton' have too frequently INDUCED in on the
subject of Railroads. We have never thought
that they could be attended with any good re-
suits. We would not now notice the para
graph Of our brother Bayne, under the above
heading, but for the reason that we think, that
In the present aspect of affairs, it savors some
thing OF spirit of ungenerous jealousy. Our
friend of the Carolinian must know, that if
ever the people of Fayetteville entertained a.
ny idea of building the Metropolitan Road
that idea has now become totally and une-
quivocally L" obsolete" Why, then, does the
Carolinan, when it must know that there is
no chance for its own scheme, thus endeavor
to throw cold water upon the Manchester
Road Is it generous so to do' Would the
Carolinian and the Fayetteville folks not be
acting with more magnanmity were they noat
to aid US in every fair way, in carrying ou
scheme out? We think SO. Let the people
OF Fayetteville recollect that there is another
great scheme in contemplation, in which botl
herself and Wilmington are deeply and mutu
ally interested. We allude to the Cape Fea
and Yadkin Canal. Let our neighbors Of Fay
etteyilie but think for moment how essentia
to the success of that great scheme, the cult
walton of good feeling between the two towns
really is. If they would only do this, w
cannot think that they would wantonly ant
unnecessarily pursue course which would
tend to create and foster this foolish spirit o
rivalry.

CHAPEL HILL. SEPT, 10.


At meeting of the Philanthropic Society
this evening, the undersigned, who had been
appointed Committee for the purpose, pre-
scented the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased Divine Providence
to remove from earth our much respected and
aged fellowmember, Hinton James, Esq, who
has ever held, during the many and various
changes of Situation incident to a life of sew
enty-two years, high rank in the esteem Of
his fellowmen; it is incumbent upon us who
are now kneeling at the shrine which once be-
held his youthful devotion, and enjoying the
scenes at one time familiar TO him, to pay the
last tribute of respect to our departed member.
He was the first member of our Society who
graduated, and may, with propriety be ranked
among its founders, and at the period of his
death was the Oldest living member: There
| fore be it
Resolved, That we are deeply sensible Of
the loss we have sustained, by the death Of
one who devoted part of his early life in pro-
noting the welfare of the Association of which
it is our pleasure to claim membership.
Resolred, That we strive TO initiate his
praiseworthy and upright course through life,
and that whatever may be our destiny, it shall
be our utmost endeavor to be possessed of a
good share of his virtues and integrity.
Resolred, That we feelingly sympathize with
|
the bereaved family, who have suffered the
irretrievabe loss of an indulgent and exempla-
ry parent and kind relative; and with the
community of which he was useful member,
in deprivation of SO worthy citizen.
Resolved, That as a token of respect we
wear the accustomed badge of mourning for
the space of thirty days.
Resolved, lastly, That copy of these reso-
lutions be forwarded to the family of the de-
ceased, and also that copies he sent to the Ed
itors of the Wilmington Newspapers, and
likewise to the Raleigh Register and Standard
for publication.
