On the fourth page, besides the letter OF the
gallant Jesup, Chan whom there is not no.
bier spirit in the army,) the reader will find
one from our friend " Limestone" which will
tell him all about the discussion in Duplin be-
tween Stevenson I'D Washington. He hits our
friend, the latter gentleman, rather severely
" in spots,' but we mus say Mr. W. deserves
it all. We do hope, for the sake of fair play,
that he will do better work for securing votes
in the election than there, or in Onslow. But
we fear that Mr. w. is too good Clay man
to do Taylor any good. Stevenson, you may
depend, is very promising speaker. He is
young, as our correspondent states, bu

GOA friend has called our attention to a
communication in the Raleigh Times, dated
Wilmington, n. c., which purports to give
an exposition OF federal prospects in this coun-
ty and town. We have only time or room to
notice one or two sentences. The writer says
that &c McRae, Parsley, and the gallant Davis"
this must be the clique,l and others "wield
an influence equalled by none within our bor-
ders, and it is right and proper that it should
be so. AS our government requires head,
so does communities Such men as [ have
mentioned above, are magnets of the whole
State" Well, now, we are willing 10 admit
that the writer, and also the gentlemen men,
toned, would heartily wish what he (the
writer) says, 10 be true. That the above
named gentlemen are good citizens OF Whining
ton, we know nothing 10 the contrary but we
are not so very sure that they WELD the dest-
MES OF this town. They no doubt very much
desire 10 control our citizens; but the people
OF Wilmington, somehow or other, prefer to
rule themselves-at least we have been of this
opinion ever since we have been a citizen of
this community. The writer also says, that
cover THREE HUNDRED VOTES ARE
CLAIMED FOR TAYLOR IN THE TOWN,
and as many as double that number in the
country Well, if This is not going it strong
we are no Judge. Let us see three hundred
in town, and twice that number in the coun.
try will make just 900 federal votes in the
Democratic county OF New Hanover! VIVA
do you think of that, Democrats Don't spill
your sides with laughter at the fool for making
such assertions as quoted above. The FEEDER
alists always elect themselves before the cleo
ton takes place!

kno1rs that nothing of the kind could originate
with the friends of Gen. Cass. The Patriot
knows further, that in several of the Western
Counties there are number of Quakers, who
have heretofore voted with the Federal party,
and who have declared that they cannot and
will not vote for Gen. Taylor. The Patriot
will not have to leave his own county OF Gull

would have his readers to understand that Mr.

RAILROADS.

THE CHESHIRE RAILROAD was opened to
Troy on Monday last The mild weatherfor
two months past, has enabled the engineersto
finish nm the track so that the trains run with
Great rapidty and safety. We passed over
the road on Monday, in company with large
party of gentlemen from this and the towns
below. and we're much gratified with the trip.
The furniture of the road is new and OF beau
tiful finish. The engines, of which there are
four now on the road, we believe, are made
by Messrs. Hinckley & Drury, and weigh from
eighteen to twenty tons. The cars OF the
most elegant finish, are made by Alessrs.
Davenport & Bridges. We noticed that tho
depot accommodations, all along the line, were
ample and nearly finished. The Directors,
in carrying out their determination from the
commencement of having the road and its
appointments as perfect as possible, have Sc
cured the services of an experienced and
pentlemanlv conductor, Mr.. Gage, well known
on the Fitchburg Road, and also OF engine
drivers of the most experience. Mr.. Perry,
who has charge Of the engine OF the passen-
ger train, has been long in the employment
of the Western Road On the return from
Fitchburg, we took some pans to marx mo
time of transit over section OF the Vermont
and Massachusetts, Road from tltchburg TO
the junction in Ashburnham, and thence, on
the Cheshire, to Troy. The distance ircn
Fitchburgh to Ashburnham 90 milcS) WAS
run in 43 minutes, and from thence to Trey
(22 1-2), in precisely fJty-taco minutes, or "t
the rate of rs miles the hour. From tie
junction to Winchendon (81-2 miles,, tho
time was G minutes, or at the rate OF 81 miles.
The difference in speed is illustrative of tie
character of the finish Of the two roads.
The Vermont and Massachusetts with, VIC
believe, the same grades, except at one point,
, was opened for travel before the track could
be put in good running order. This defect is
to be corrected as soon as the season will Ter-
nit in the Spring.

FIREs.-The fire on Sunday evening, at a
little before ten o'clock, proceeded from a car

The stable, two horses, three cows, yoke
of oxen, and thirty tons of hay, belonging to
Hon. Bradford l.. Wales, were destroyed by
fire on Friday night, at West Randolph
supposed to be the act of an inccndiary.
We have already stated that the cotton
mill of Asa Fitch, of Fitchvllle, near Norwich,
Conn, was destroyed by fire on Thursday
morning last. The establishment cost over
$4,000, and there was an insurance on 1t
to the amount of $4,000. The fire is pre-
sumed to have been caused by design Two
