INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

WeainEite the attention of those of eur readers
who differ with us the question of Internal I'm
provements by the State government to the article in
another column from the Hillsborough Democrat,
headed IS Our position-the Central Rail Road' This
article is ably CLEARLY wrtten and embodies sound
suggestions and views subject of which it treats.
If the doctrineaof Internal Improvements by the
State government be anti-Democratic, what becomes
of the position always occupied by such men as
Romulus M. Saunders, Robert Strange, Louis d.
Henry, Weldon N. Edwards, Michael Hoke, and
others who might be mentioned? In 1888 several
of these gentlemen, in common with the members of
large Internal Improvement Convention, represent
ing some forty-seven Counties, advocated the bor-
rowing by the State of the sum of fve millions for
the purpose of commencing and carrying general
system of State works; and in 1888, Gen.. Saunders
headed the Committee of another Convention, which
memoriazed the Legislature to borrow three millions
for the same object. In 1910, if we are not misa-
ken, Col. Hoke voted to endorse the bonds of the
CASTOR Road; and yet Saunders, Henry, and Hoke
were all successfully supported by the Democrats
for the Office of Governor. And did they, by such
course, become "apostates' - from the Democratic
faith? No-far from it. In that eloquent and soul
stirring Speech delivered by Judge Strange before
an Internal Improvement Meeting in this City, du-
ring the recent session. he but reiterated the opinions
which he had held for years, and which, in the Con-
vention of 1888, side by side with Henry, Daniel,
Fits. Watson and others, he had labored and toed
to carry out.
And Graves, Dobbin, and Ashe-what of them
Are they "apostates' from the Democratic party
No-fellow-citizens-no They are as good Demo.
Gratis as those with whom they differed during the
session of the Legislature which has just expired.
We believe that both sides were governed by honest
motves and that both intended in all sincerity to do
the best they could for North Carolina and so far as
their Democracy is concerned, perceive that
either the friends or the opponents of the system
have lost character or standing.
We again beg our friends to agree to disagree on
this subject. We cannot in the very of things
all see alike and think alike now; but may to a
much greater extent hereafter. At any rate, let us
determine happen what may to respect each others
opinions and Positions and thus avoid unkind feel
ings and feuds among ourselves.

PLoGGING IN THE NAVY.

A long and very interesting debate took place, on
the 18th instant, in the Senate of the United States
on the proposition to abolish the practice of Oggng
in the Navy. Mr.. Hale, of New Hampshire, and
Mr.. Niles, of Connecticut, advocated the abolition Of
the practice; and Mr. Badger and others spoke at
length in favor of the custom. In answer 10 some
question put tohim by Senator, Mr.. Calhoun stated
that the abolition of thepracce in the army, had been
productive of the most pernicious results.
Mr.. Benton said he was not in favor of scourgng
American citizens. A Roman citizen could not be
scourged; and he believed that an American citizen
was of as high an order of men as the Roman citizen
was Roman citizens found employment by sea and
by land, in the army and in the navy but there was
no scourgng. That was reserved for slaves and bar
barians-they who were below the dignity of Ro
man." -5..s
The House of Representatives has already passed
law declaring that this practice in our Navy shall
be discontinued; but whether the Senate will concur
remains to be seen.

WAKE FOREST COLLEGE.

The present session of this Institution has opened
under the most favorable circumstances. More new
students have already arrived than have been present
at SO early period in any former session. at least
for several sessions past. There Is probability of
considerable increase in number, and what is still
more gratifying to US, who are Immediately connect
ed with the institution and should be to all its friends,
is that there favorable indications of morality and
punctuality among the students. There appears to
be general disposition among them to study observe
orde and to attend regularly to all the College duties
On the resignation of Dr. Hooper, at the close OF last
session, it was found necessary to employ Tutor;
Mr.. Willie P. Mangum, Jr. was, therefore, chosen
to fill that Office. He formerly student at this
place, and while here, gave indications OF becoming
good Classical scholar, well as the most satis-
factory evidences of his good moral character and
genteman-like department. After passing through
the Sophomore class at this Institution he went to
our University, where he completed his course. He
will, no doubt, make an efficient Tutor.
The number of students increased so rapidly, at
the of the present term, that the Fac
ulty thought advisable to employ another Tutor and
therefore, secured the services of Mr.. Jonathan W.
Merriam of Illinois. He graduated at this place in
June 1S47, and then went to the Newton IheooglcaI
Institution where he remained until he received the
appointment of Tutor. Mr.. Merriam is not only
good scholar and gentleman, but also, an exemPla-
ry and devoted christian. 1t is unnecessary to say
any thing respecting the character and qualifications
of our esteemed Professors to those who know them,
but this article may be read by those who are un-
acquainted with them, it may not be improper to say
that they ripe scholars and men OF unblemlshed
character and devout pety who have the present and
eternal welfare of those committed to their at
heart Prof. White, who acts President for the
present, is we'll qualified to discharge the duties of
this important and responsible station-to command
students he has few equals, and no superiors.
Wake Forest is one of the most delightful and
healthy situations in the State the College building
is surrounded by beautiful grove; it contains Az
rooms for students, commodlous chapel, fhlloso-
phical hall and two we'll furnished halls belong to
the two Literary Societies.
The professors and residents the hill have good
dwellings; there is also splendid tavern now erect
ing, which will probably be completed by the next
niia commencement. This Institution, though young
and comparatively small, affords every facility for
acquiring thorough and practical education that
be desired. A STUDENT.

THE MORMONs-GREAT SALT LAKE

The Pittsburg Gazettee announces the arrival in
that City of Mr.. Whipple, one of the leading Nor.
mons, from the settlement in the neighborhood of the
great Salt Lake, who brings interesting intelligence
from that distant region.
The Mornons have located themselves in a beau
tiful valley the borders of the great Salt Lake in
the Northeastern part of Upper California. This
valley is about fifty miles long, and forty broad and
is surrounded on three sides by high mountains, and
the north side by the lake. Their settlement con.

in this valley in June, ls47, and last season they
raised fine crop of wheat, corn, and other produc
tions They have two grist-mills and four saw-mils
in operation and have laid out town on an elevated
plat, which oVerlooks the whole valley and the great
Salt Lake.

PLANK ROADS. This recent invention is growing
rapidly in public favor, and roads which have been
constructed have proved cheap and eligible. There
a number of bills now before the Legislature, for
the incorporation of companies to construct these
roads, and general plank road law has already been
passed. Among other projects in contemplation, is
a road from Pittsburgh to Erie-Erie to Waterford
-Meadvile and Klecknervillle to Edinboro'-Erie
to Wattsburg-Erie to Ednboro'-Meadville to Wat

having completed his order, and hinted it on the
Streets there general rush of well-dressed gen.
temen into his shop, all earnestly requesting to be
allowed look the said clothes, and particularly
to examine the inside of the pockets. The shrewd
tailor, however, suspectng the object of the gentle
men, told them they might put their letters into the
pockets of said suits, but that he would require Of
them $50 each for every letter placed in the breeches
pockets, $50 for those put in the coat pockets, and
$40 for those in the vest pockets. In this way, it is
thonght that the General will be enabled to read said
letters at his leisure, to digest their contents and
cants. -i NeU Orleans Della.
