Wilmington and Manchester Rail Road
The above enterprise with which, compare
lively speaking, few of the citizens of this
portion of the State are familiar, goes bravely
on. This Road, when finished, is destined to
become the great route for travellers going
North or South
We have been kindly permitted to make the
following extract from letter received here
from gentleman connected with the road:
Our Road is gett ng on gloriously the
whole line is now under contract for grading,
and a great deal Of the timber is contracted for
all for stock.
81 venture to say that the Wilmington and
Manchester Rail Road will leave it's sister
Roads now in course of construction in the
State, far behind. The Board of Directors
have restricted us to the use of iron weighing
not less than 81 lbs, per linear yard-the
weight of that used on the Camden Branch
| The Road passes over tolerably level coun-
try, giving US but few heavy cuts or en-
| bankments, and our maximum grade only sc
| feet per mile. We have 10 cross the Pedet
Swamp and River at an elevation of about 2;
feet, distance OF two miles. Our Bridg,
across the river is TO be built upon stone piers
This Road has been attracting but littl
attention in the State, but it has been pursuing
the even tenor of It's way gradually acqui
ring strength, till now it Graves no attention
When the Legislature of North Carolina again
meets, we will receive from that State the sub
scription of 100000
This Road is 10 be built; mark my word.

For the Journal,


Messrs. Editors-At the commencement,
must make an apology for intruding myself
upon your time, consideration and columns !;
but the object will be a sufficient excuse for
the cause OF my present intrusion. To come
to facts, wish the citizens of Wilmington to
become acquainted with the moving Panorama
of Mr.. Stockwell, the artist whose wonderful
and magnificent paintings of the Mississippi
River and the scenery thereon, are now being
exhibited at our Theatre. To give full de-
scription of the effect produced on the mind.
would be impossible; to one who has travelled
up the mighty waters, can safely say that,
from experience, he finds the scenery truthful
to nature, and the explanations made by Mr..
Weston, are in themselves sufficiently interes-
ting TO induce persons to patronize them.
His elocutory powers-his clear enunciation,
combined with his anecdotes, relating to each
particular view, would alone be sufficient TO
crafty the minds of the most fastidious.-
They are both gentlemen, morally and in
tellectually considered. ].

Interesting to Southern Men.-The chief
argument of the Wings during the canvass in
favor of Gen. Taylor for President, was that
he was a Southern man, and would sacredIw
guard the rights and honor of his native South.
He, it was said, could be relied on with per-
feet confidence, to call around him Cabinet
who would be a bulwark to Southern instilu-
tons, and a rebuke to the mad tanatioism of
Northern aboltionists and free-soilers.
That our readers may know how we'll these
promises are being performed, we ask them to-
read the following extract from the Washing
ton correspondent of the Macon Teegraph>
dated Washington, May 9, 184S:
" The coolest piece of impudenee WAS re-
veaIed in this city last week. Daniel Webster,
1t must first be remarked, procured situation
for buck negro IN the Home Department, un-
der Mr.. Ewing, as a messenger, when fifty
poor white men would have been delighted 10
receive it. This darkey was with Mai Web.
ster in Mexico as a servant, and it was in
character for black Dan 10 provide for
black Peter. Emboldened by the success of
their brother niger, two 'colored gentlemen
as they were called, came to Washington, all
| the way from Massachusetts, fine specimens
OF charming boys so elegantly spoken of
| by Mr.. Palfrey of that State. They entered
| tHC dHtt-Ioom vi Tue IlOLHe department, and
inquired for Mr. Ewing They were dressed
in the best broad cloth, and wore large gold
chains to their watches. A wag assumed 10
| be the official attendant, and in the course of
conversation, learned from them that they
! were seeking clerkships! 1t has not been as
certained that they met with success-the on
ly bar to preferment being public opinion
As they voted for Gen. Taylor, and are his
political friends, why not help 10 share The
burdens of government? If Webster, Cor
win, Hudson, Pafrey. and such statesmen,
think negroes as good as white men, why not
provide them with clerkshps They ought
not to be ashamed of their allies. The truth
is, these impudent negroes are emboIdened 10
look for loaves and fishes from the fact that,
in the course of week, two negroes were
appointed messengers or Iaborers in the State
Department, two in the Treasury Department,
and two in the Home Department. And
have myself seen negroes writing in the pas
sages OF the Departments, directing packages,
while white men were scrubbing the floors =
1t is enough 10 make the blood boil to think
of these things. A whig member of Congress
from Tennessee recommended one of the me-
groes, named Warner, as one of 'the most
perfect gentlemen he had met in Washing
tom and a Senator from the same State helped
him into office. These are few of the many
facts which have lately transpired.'

At meeting of the subscribers TO the plan
of improving the Newbern road, held at the
Masonic Hall last evening, on motion OF J. A.
Taylor, Esq, Jas T. Miller, Esq, was called
TO the Chair. After various suggestions to the
meeting by Messrs. Taylor, Policy, Conoley,
and Burr, it was moved and carried that the
Chair should appoint a Committee of three,
who shall have full power to collect subscrip.
tons and carry on the work in a thorough
manner. Messrs. E. P. Hall, S. P. Policy,
and ]. J. Conoley, were accordingly appoint.
ed by the Chair as such Committee. On
motion of J. A. Taylor, Esq, it was ordered
that the proceedings of the meeting be pub

THE HUNGAR1ANs.-Very few, we believe,
who read the accounts of the struggle between
the Austrians and Hungarians, as detailed in
the Foreign news, are acquainted with the
grounds Of the quarrel or the objects in view.
So far as we can see, it is this: The title OF
the Emperors of Austria has heretofore been
Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary
the Emperor being crowned separately for
Hungary as an independent Kingdom. The
Hungarans have al along enjoyed their sepa-
rate nationality-their own dice and their own
laws. Austria demands that Hungary, even
to the sacrifice of its ancient independence,
shall be incorporated into the Austrian mon
archy. Hungary demands that her indepen-
dence shall be recognized. Kossuth, Gorgey,
BEN, and Dembinski have agreed upon the
following terms:
Ell. The recognition of the kingdom of
Hungary in its ancient limits, including Croa-
tia, Slavonia and the military boundaries.
2. Union with Pennsylvania as decided upon
by the Hungarian diet at its sitting last year.
8. General amnesty for the whole of Aus
tria, the immediate release of the October
prisoners, and indemnities 10 the families of
those who were murdered.
q. Transmission of all the Hungarian regi-
ments serving in Italy and elsewhere through
out the empire to Hungary.
5. Recognition of the Hungarian constitu-
ton of 1848.
6. Hungary shall remain under the govern
ment of a provisional executive administra-
ton, elected from among the diet, until the
hereditary succession shall have been legally
restored, and the king who shall have been
| elected shall be crowned at Budo- Pesth, and
sworn to the constitution.
7. Galicia shall stand in the same relation
to the Austrian federal state as that in which
Hungary now stands, and will stand under
the name of the Polish kingdom of Galicia; il
| will, therefore, be linked to Austria only by
a personal union, having its own army and
its own finances.
8. The participation of Hungary in the
Austrian nationa! debt shall be decided by the
Hungarian diet by majority"
1t will be observed, that these terms also
provide for the Polish dominions of Austria
and. indeed, the movement is as much Polish
as Hungarian. Half the leaders and troops
are Poles. This circumstance accounts fol
the anxiety of Russia TO put down the patri
OTIS. as it begins to tremble for its own Polish
Provinces.

Wig EUidenee.-It will be seen bv ~.

Gen. Taylor such support as will make his

ing wings of the country are to be overlooked,

zeal has never been sufficient to induce them
to raise finger in the wing cause. Can any
thing, indeed, be better calculated to damp the
Grdor Of the party, or to disgust them ;rrero-
cably actth the administration? We live in
America, not in Utopia The wings are men,
and their motives are OF that mixture of good
and evil which is inseparable from their very
nature. To suppose that they will feel con.
tented to see the fruits of victory for which
they have toiled and suffered both in health
and purse, bestowed entirely on those who
have opposed them, or who have stood calm.

expect more of them than human nature is ca.

but here and everyachere else, begin 10 be tho
