The Plank Road.

The citizens Of Salisbury have expressed their
decided disapprobation OF the location Of the
Plank Road from Fayetteville to that pace =
We had no idea Of the injustice done Salisbury
until we saw a map Of It's location, published in
the last Waichmsn. We say they have Just
cause Of complaint. The location, az represent
ed in the map, puts 1s in mind Of honely say.
ing we have often heard Of person going round
his elbow to get 10 his mouth. The law provides
for Plank Road from Fayetteville to Salisbury,
and we have no doubt it was the intention Of the
Legislature to have the road 60 as direct as pos
slble but the desire Of drawing to Fayetteville

For the Charlotte Jsurnal.

In the National lntellgencer perceive
an account of collision between The Steam.
er Hiberna, and Whale on her recent
trip Liverpool. The idea conveyed 10 the
account s, that the Whale was lying asIec o
on the surface Of the water when the ship
struck il. This may have been the case,
but there are we'll authenticated statements
Of Whales having attacked ship and in some
instances, in which The Whale was large
and the ship only of moderate size, the
ships were entirely destroyed by the Whale
One account is remembered, which took
place of the coast Of Chill about thirty
years ago, in which ship Of considerable
tonnage was attacked by a large Sperm
Whale, and broken into pieces IN the space
OF few minutes. The ship was under
ias, Roadway, when the Whale was seen
nearing her as II TO reconnolter, and after
approaching to within short distance,
turned and ran off to the distance of sever
al hundred yards, and then come back a.
gain, IN straigh, line, and struck The lar.
bord bow with so great force as to in.

and crew of the ship with difficulty escup.
ed in their small beats, aud were so ioriu.
nate as to reach the laud. Other lns,an.
ces nigh, be mentioned. la tho recent
case with the Steamer, the ship was large
and the Whale was small, aud the Whale
it is thought by the narrator was asleep on
the water, and the steamer 10 her course
struck il, but this consider is by no means
certain. Ii may have been the case that
the Whalo in this instance attacked the
ship, but from the want Of sufficient size
and momentum, met with the fate Of the
Bull that attacked the Locomotive
Whales at times are exceedingly ferocious,
and the force with which large one can
strike ship can only be conceived by con.
sidering the great weight and momentum
of the two objects, and that when the ship
and the Whale meet in opposite directions
the velocity with which they implnge Is
equal 10 that of the W hale added 10 that OF
the ship. These may often make twenty
or more miles per hour'
