ssThe Old North State."

North Carolina is becoming fully aroused 10
the Importance of internal improvement. The
following extract of communication, from
gentleman Of intelligence, in the western part
of the State, not written however, for Publica-
ton, shows that the prospects ahead have
awakened up Old Rip. from his slumbers, into
activity and enterprise.
SrATEsvILLE, March 81, ls49.
at will not he long before all the trade, that
we now send to Camden, will be stopped by
our Rail Road, and then Camden can feel no
interest in the agricultural prosperity or decline
of Western North Carolina. Our trade is
going there now, and our merchants have
already commenced shipping their goods to
your Depot, but how long will it last 7 My
State pride leads me to rejoice at the idea, that
our various surplus produce is soon to find
market nearer hume. The Rail Road will
certainly be built to Charlotte, and the great
central link is now the engrossing subject of
thought and action by our leading men. The
Legislature subscribed two millions for the
State, and granted charter Of three millions,
leaving only one million to be raised by private
stock and we are assured that it will succeed
not only by the general favor which the pro.
ject meets with among our people. but by the
zeal and magnanimity Of our leading men.-
our great men. Salisbury will be a favored
place if the Road is built,-sItuated as i, will
be at an elbow Of the Road, it will become the
market place of ten counties. 1t will also be
as near, in fact little nearer TO Wilmington
than to Charleston, aAording opportunity Of
shipping from either port, as the market OF the
one, or the other may offer superior induce.
ments. Wilmington will necessarily be built
up. A great SEAPORT on our coast has long
been desideratum Of North Cnronians, and
the Central Rail Road may possibly raise Viii.
minslon TO great commercial importance.
.South Carolina has always exported or con.
sumed the various products of the wealthlet
portion of our State. We have heretofore ex.
ported nothing but tar, pitch, lurpeniine, rosin,
lumber and 6sh. 1t is our great hope and sell
GUS expectation that Geographers will, in their
new editions add all the agricultural produc.
tions of our climate 10 the list.
"South Carolina must continue TO consume
and export great deal of our prodrce,-'he
more she consumes the better for us, but she
must pay the freight on the Rail Road, as we
cannot haul and retail any longer. These are
the hopes and conclusions in North Carolina.
Are they no, proper1 North Carolina was the
first of the Old Thirteen, to declare herself in.
dependenl,-Since then she has slept, but she
has reposed on that honor long enough? She is
now dete r,nned 10 throw off the imputation Of
being the rip Van Winkls" Of the great ia.

Mr.. Edaor.-'rhe subject of Education has

New England States stand pre- eminen'ly high,

enlightened, than those of any other portion OF
the Union, or perhaps of the world, with the
exception of Prussia. and Scotland. And they
have attained this eminence by the Free
School System. There is however a great
and inseparable difficulty, in many portions Of
this country, to the organization Of Schools,
viz--.hs sparcty Of population.
In Louisiana they have established Common
Schools, by provision in their Constitution,
which are being organized all over the State.

Our town was visited on Sunday last By
Snow storm of unusual violence and duration.
1t commenced with slight fall early in the
morning and continued to increase in quantity,
until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, when
il fell in large flakes, as in mid. winter.
The prospect of the green trees, and forests
near the town. covered with snow was as novel
as it was beautiful to the admirer Of natures
works. The house tops were covered with
snow which had not melted on Monday morn.
ing-a mid. winter scene in early spring, is
sight that we do not remember to have seen at
any former period.
F1RE.-We learn by letter from frIend'
that the barn of Mrs. Ann Mellow, widow

Village, containing all her corn and provender
was entirely consumed by FIRE, on the night OF

PRESENTMENTS.


of the Grand Jury of Kershaw District, at
Spring Term ls49.
l,t. We regard the License system as a
grievance, and recommend, that the law be so
altered as to preven, the sale Of intoxicating
drinks to be drank at the place where sold.
2nd. We present as grievance, the Prac.
,ce of carrying concealed deadly weapons.
Ord. We suggest, in order to put stop to

OUR RAIL ROAD.

The Summer Schedule Of the 8. C.. Rail
Road Company has, we perceive, given con.
siderable dissatisfaction 10 the Citizens of the
Town; in consequence Of the late hour we
now receive our letters and papers via Charles
ton. The mail is no. opened before P. NJ.
ins'ead Of 6 P. NJ. as heretofore, causing great
delay in our correspondence with Charleston,
and all other places on the line Of the 8. C.
Rail Road. -...
Our citizens travelling west, either from
Camden or Columbia are detained, at Branch.
vile six hours arrive by the upper train a.
A. NJ, leave by the lower train coming up at 8
P. NJ, an arrangement, il seems to US very in.
judicious. deiainng passengers, at a disagree.
able place nearly long enough to make the en-.
tire Journey over the Road. These arrange.
ments may suit the people Of Charles,ou--but
will not be submitted 10 patiently by the citi-
zens Of the up. country, interested in the Road
The want of consideration for our convent ice
should meet with spirited remonstrance from
the citizens of The up.country who are emit
tied to all the cunvenences Of the Road, as far
as circumstances will allow, as we'll as those
living at the other end Of The line.
A remonsirarce from the, Citizens Of Cam.
,len to The Post Master General, against the
detention of the Mail, which has already re.
ceived numerous signatures, will we hope. aid
in restoring the former mail arrangements. :.
This communication was intended for the
last weeks Journal, owing to want of time and
The crowded state Of its. columns, was deferred
to the present week. We will join heartily
with the neighborng towns and cities, in the
endeavor 10 make an alteration in the running
time Of the Road, that will suit Us better.

The Scientific American gives some vaIua.
bic information in regard to the charging oi
firearms. 1t says that balls which fit accu.
rately ,hr bore of piece, have the greatest
effect. as they do not come out so readily but
give time for the greater quantity of powder 10
ignite.
When the powder IS rammed violently down,
it's effect is no greater. but omewhat less than
when barely pressed down with the ball
npon it.
GDpowder around ball diminishes its eft.
lec,, as it expands in all directions. and when
it is upon the top of the ball, it must IN some
meaxurr act counter to its progress.
BY taking ball and quitting little powder
under and consider rabe before 1t, it's effects may
be almost nullitird. and yet there will be con.
siderable noise when the gun is discharged.
