PARDON OF LANES PARRISH.

The Fayetteville Caroinian, in noticing the par
don of James Parrish, under sentence for robbng the
United States Mall intimates that " it is due
the public that the grounds of the pardon be sated
In reply to the Carolinian we have briefly to say,
that Parrish is but boy in appearance and in years
that he raised in great ignorance and amid vice;
that he is the sole stay and support of his mother
that while he was in prison he exhibited signs of
sincere repentance for his crime and applied himself
to his books, to improve his mind; that the offence
for which he was convicted, was perhaps his first
and his only one against the laws; that he had al
ready been in prison eight months; and that the
petition to the President for his pardon, signed
by some ffty-six members of the Legislature, the
Governor Of the State, and other distinguished per-
sons. He mag make useful man, now that he is
set at liberty; whereas, his incarceration for five
years, in dismal dungeon, could have been Of no
great benefit to society, while, unquestionably, it
would have hardened him in his propenstes to wick
edness and crime.
We have no doubt that the Editor of the Carolin-
ian, it he had been here and known all the circum-
stances, would himself have cheerfully signed the
petition for his pardon.

FRANCIS A. THORNTON, ESQ.

| We copy the following article from the last War
renton Reporters and in doing so we take occasiOnb
say, that the Editor of that paper has done more
than simple justice to Mr.. Thornton. The late ses
sion was his first; and though a silent and modest
member and taking but little part in the debates which
occurred, yet he performed his full share of labor
the Committee room, and was distinguished no less
for his penetration and good sense, than for his init
acquaintance with the various subjects of legs
lation. The Reporter says:
'On Tuesday last, Francis A. Thornton, Esq, one
of the members of the House of Commons, from this
County, addressed his fellow citizens in the Court
House upon the subject of his course during the
cent session of the General Assembly. We have
heard but one opinion expressed to the merits OF
the able and argumentatiye address delivered by him
upon the occasion. He did himself very great credit
indeed, and more than fulfilled the highest expecE
tions of his friends although they entertained before
very favorable opinions to his abilities His speech
was an excellent one, both as to language and mat
ter, and if appearances were not extremely deceV
ing, produced decidedly favorable effect upon the
intelligent audience to whom it was addressed. MI
Thornton in the course of his remarks presented to
his hearers general outline of all the important pro-
eeedings of the last Assembly. His observations up
on the points discussed were interesting and marKa
by decided ability. Any from hearing his speech
must have been satisfied that he was highly atteG,
tive to his Legislative duties, and had made himself
entirely familiar with the subjects which were aCeu
upon during the eventful session which has just clos
ed. We were particularly pleased ourselves win
his remarks upon the Central Rail Road Bill, ana
upon the utility of Rail Roads generally, distinguish
ed as they were fer strong reasoning and great Pa
tical good Mr.. Thornton is the owner OF one
of the finest tracts of land in the State extending m
miles along the banks of the Roanoke. His occuPa
ton is now, and has been ever since his arrival
mature age, that of aplanter. Few in the UnIeu
States have devoted more time and attention
the cultivation of our great staple, tobacco. All
the North Carolina AgricuIturalist. His views as 10
the benefits afforded by Rail Roads to the planter
were striking and forcible, and calculated to cary
conviction to the mind. Upon this point he was
entirely at home, and sustained himself by facts an
arguments which are unanswerable. He indulgFu
in wild and visionary theories, but spoke from a S
results of actual observation and experience in na
honorable occupation, in which most of cltlzen
are engaged, the cultivation of the soil.''

PLANK ROADS. We call attention to the excellent
report of Col. Pho White (the publication of which
we commence in this paper, the subject of Plank
Roads. Many persons ardendy desiEous of promoting
the prosperity of North Carolina and hearing propo-
stlon to construct such work, would at once pro-
nounce against 1t as being mpracticable and waste
full But this opinion though it is the expressed
by very large number, is formed with very su-
Perciai view of the subject; and the objections urged
by such persons must all yield the moment that facts
and sound arguments are brought against them. The
subject is one to the greater portion of the people
OF North Carolina, and to this circumstance is to be
traced all the adverse opinions among To present
the subject therefore, fairly before the public to rive
them all the necessary information relative to the plan
of construcien-cost-duraton ADVANTAGES as
compared with otherworks-is our object in publish
ing this report is especially of interest to Us in this
region at this time. The proposed Plank Road be-
tween Fayetteville and Salisbury renders it So It
is the most able and comprehensive document on
this subject that has ever been presented the pub
Hc we shall therefore publish it entire. 1t was
written as will be seen for the benefit of Wisconsin
but the good sense of our readers will enable them
easily to see to what extent 1t is applicable North
Carolina. All the facts are important, and we are
conhdent that no man who is acquainted with tho
nature and of the business carried on betveen
these two places, but will rise from the perusaI of
this paper well convinced that of all the yarious
sehemes OF road making, the Plank Road is the very
one most needed between Salisbury and Fayetteville
Let us suppose that farmer has one hundred bar.
res of -four for market, and that the highest price
can be realized at Fayetteville. A single team on
ourcommon roads will haul ten barrels. 1t will,
therefore, require ten wagons and teams to deliver
his Hour at Fayetteville and it will require twelve
days to make trip. Ten times twelve are one hun
dred and twenty-days; which, at two dollars a
day.-a low estimate for team, driver, wagon &c.
we have the sum of 1910 as the cost of transpor-
tatIon OF one hundred barrels of -four. If the farmer
now receives six dollars per barrel for his -four he
Will have left only $36o-having paid equal to foru
barrels to get the other sixty to market. Now how
would it be if we had Plank Road on this Iine2
team OF four horses will easily draw thirty bar

TALK ABOUT THE RAILROAD. During the PASSING
Court week we have heard more talk about the Rail-
road than we have heard in any week on any one
subject for many twelve-month From our obser-
vatlon of the drift of public sentiment we may saw
mat most OF those whose opportunities have enabled
them to form intelligent estimates of the value of j
dlclous internal improvements and the necessities
for them which exist in State come out promptly
boldly and ardently in favor of the Central Road.
Many await further light and information on the sub
Ject to enable them to form satisfactory opinions with
an evident leaning, however, to- the liberal side
few are opposed to the scheme-abont enough in
number and talent to give the popular discus
sion, and elicit all the argument both sides. Go
al, friends and fellow ctiZens-talk, argue, inyesti-
gate, aglate,-that's the way arrive at the right
thing at last.
Indifference towards the new project is chiefly
felt on the northern border of Gaiford and through
Rockingham and Stokes, on the supposed route of
the DanVille and Charlotte Road This is but natu-
raj, and what was to be expected. But our fellow
cltizens OF those sections, trust will yet come in
and give strength to the public sentiment in favor of
the new chartered scheme, when they duly consider
the necessity which existed to relieve the State if
possible from its embarrassments in the RALEIGH and
1aston Road, and the Propriety and patriotism of
meeting cur Eastern fellow citizens half way in their
advances, and strengthening and making easy the
bonds which have ever held together the East
and the West as one commonwealth. The West
Will be more likely to secure Justice from the East
on other subjects, and satisfactory terms when
more frequent intercourse shall be established he
tween the extremes and their respective peope shall
know each other better. Ib;d

The Legislature of Delaware has passed an act,
directing Magistrates to arrest all free negroes who
have no apparent means of support, and who are OF
idle and dissote habits and hire them out to service
for term not exceeding year at time.
Exchange pqper-
This would be- good law here in North Carolina.
There are hundreds of free negroes in this State who
are of no either to their families or the public
and who ought to be compelled to work.. Such a
law would not only be better for them in the end but
of advantage to the worthy and industrious of
that class of our population.
The North-Carolina standard., 1849-03-07

OUR STATE OBLIGATIONS. The fact must not be
lost sight of, that the State of North Carolina is
bound for upwards of two millions of dollars in the
two eastern Railroads. 1t boots not inquire
whether the obligations entered into under wise
foolish counsels the faith credit and honor of
the State in pledge, and must, every body knows,
be redeemed and kept untarnished.
Now we wish to put this simple question directly
home to the peoPle-Coud any plan better than the
Central Railroad be devised, at to tighten the
load of obligation upon the State, and bring mar
ket facilities into the heart of the countryl
The State obligation account of the Raleigh and
CASTOR Road alone is the rise of one million and
seventy thousand dollars. Without such connex-
amount must inevitably be dead loss to the State.
Large amounts of the individual bonds never can be
collected, and whether any amount win be realized
at.all is contingency.
What, then, do wisdom, prudence and foresight
teach ought to be done in this situation of affairs
To fold arms sit STILL and do nothing but grum-
bic against the old Railroad and It's builders
until the whole pressure of this obligation comes with
its crushing, Overwhelming force upon usl What
would prudent and energetic individual do under
such circumstances! Why he would adopt any
means which his judgment approved, even if it
necessarily involved risk, to relieve himself from the
impending ruin.
Nothing-no -nothing-nothing but connexion of this
Raleigh Road with safe line southwark will save
the State from the ultimate calateus results of this
obligation. That connexion, are sanguine, will
not only relieve the State, but eventually throw into
her treasury and into the pockets of individual stock
holders handsome profit, besides furnishing to our
farmers of the interior market facilities the benefits
of which will be incalculable.

reIs of -four such road and make the trip in

teams YOU will perceive do the work of ten, and In
stead Of consuming Two hundred and twenty days,
lay of $50 for hauling, and perhaps fifteen dollars
for toll, making the sum of $75-equal to twelve
and half barrels of flour, and showing difference

1--WE doIlars-saved by the farmer on only one hum
dred barrels of -four, of money which no far
mer can afford to lose his hard earnings-more
than sufficient to pay his Doctors bills, and taxes,
and the cost of his groceries.
But this is not only true to the transportation
of flour: 1t applies to every thing that farmer would
send to market. On our common roads it costs HIM
at least oaeArd of every article he sends, to get It
to market. Let him not say he could not employ
his horses. wagon, or hands proftably in any other
way. These may find abundant employment In heap
ING up litter on the manure piles, and making his
soil produce two blades of grass where it produces
but one, and thus increasing the amount Of his sur
plus productons-flling his pockets-enriching his
farm, aggrandizing the State, and leaving ahertage
to his children, worthy of himself, and an example
of enterprise and industry worthy their imitation.
