The meeting of the Board of Directors which
was to take place at SnmterYille, on the 18th
ult., was not organized, on account OF the
absence of the North Carolina Directors, which
we suppose was occasioned BY some accident.
There are but FIVE Directors in this State, who
were all present. Sir. however. were neces.
sary 10 form quorum for business, and, con-
sequently no business was transacted by the
Board. This is to be regretted, as steps might
have been taken perhaps to ensure an earlier
purchase of iron, for which negotiations un-
der the direction of the President are about be-
ing commenced. A full and free interchange
of opinion however was had with those pre-
sent, and an unanimous feeling manifested.
not only for the progress of the work, but for
tie immediate purchase Of iron and il is well
understood that whether the favorable arrange
ments proposed for the whole of the iron be
effected or not, that sufficient amount be at
once contracted for 10 lay the first forty miles
from the Camden Branch, and, if the means OF
the company can be extended, TO embrace the
whole amount necessary TO complete the road

Abolition ef Slacery In Portuguese Colo
nies.-It is said that there is prospect Of a
law being passed in Portugal, for the abolition
of slavery in all the Colonies of that country.
A bill for this purpose was read in the Cham
Der of Peers at Lisbon, on the 25th Of May
last, and on the 25th of June following, the
Committee on Colonial Affairs, TO which it
was referred, made report approving and re-
commenting its adoption by the Chambers.
The number of slaves that will be freed by
this measure, should it become law, is be-
tween $4,000 and 100000, nearly 10000 of
whom are in the settlements along the Eastern
Coast of Africa, about $4,000 in the Cape de
Verde Islands, and the remainder chiefly in the
settlements and on the islands along the Wes-
tern Coast of Africa,

Anecdote Of Gen. Wolfe.-The Ross shire
Advertiser, in noticing some recent change on
the field of Culloden, narrates the following
anecdote:
A Highlander, who had been wou nded, lay
stretched on the ground, and when Cumber-
land and Wolfe came 10 to him, the High
lander cast revengeful look at the Duke of
Argyle, who Immediately ordered Wolfe 10
despatch him. To do this inhuman act the
officer refused, saying that he would rather
resign bis commission than perform the part
of an executioner. A trooper, however, obey
ed the commands of his general, and the poor
man was decapila,ed. 1t is said that the Duke
never thereafter spoke TO Wolfe. This was
the General Wolfe who afterwards figured so
gallantlv at fhe taking OF Quebec.

The boat for Charleston which left here on

compelled TO remain below, during the night
not being able to find her way up the river
1t was so rough that neither OF the boats could
come alongside but remained out in the stream
