We have word to say upon the subject of COM
munications, or, as they generally termed by
their authors, 81 compositions" We are always hap
Ply to hear from friends upon any subject of pub
lie interest and to give their illusions place in our
columns, when we conveniently can but we would
earnestly request them to give their communications
much of practical character possible, and to
be brief. We have now on hand some halfdozen ar
ticles upon the slavery question, which have been
sent to for publication, all very well written but
still containing not word or idea that has not
been before the public for the last year. and is not
perfectly familiar to every reader his a, b, es
certainly familiar to the reader as the writer
Now, while we would not willingly offend one hu-
man being, we must still claim the privilege to dis
pose of these compositions according to the freedom
of our own will. We have adopted one rule in this
respect, and that is, to publish no more communica-
tons upon the slavery question, unless they contain
some practical suggestion, or some new view of the
subject. The interest and feeling which this en-
crossing topic has excited have contributed to
der every one less acquainted with the mer-
its of the case consequently the statement of
facts with which every is already acquainted or
arguments to prove positions which denied
or thought of being denied, however good in them
selves, hardly calculated to lend interest
city to the columns of newspaper.

Senatorial Eracns.

On the 18th instant, most unfortunate and dis
graceful collision occurred between Senator FooTE
of Mississippi, and Senator BoRLAND, of Arkansas.
The affair occurred before the Integencer Office, in
Washington City, and arose from alteration,
in the course of which Mr.. FooTE spoke of Mr. BoR
LAND as an abject tool Of Mr. CALHoUN's, while the
latter charged FoorE with striving to divide the
South A scufie ensued, in the course of which Mr.
FoorE, who had just recovered from sick bed, got
struck on the face. Immediately upon the occur
renee, Mr. BoRLAND, feeling the improperly and in
gratitude of his conduct rendered the expressions Of
his most sincere regret and gave all the apologies
that could be demanded. The affair has been com
promised-the we'll known character for bravery Of
both the gentlemen, effaetually guarding against
nisconstructon of their motives in acceding to re-

A Strange Mistake.

We notice that every paper which we receive from
States North or South of us, when abiding to the
completion of the subscription to our Central Rail
road speak of it the link necessary to connect the
Railroads of North and South Carolina, and thus OBJ
Yiate the necessity of the Steamboat line between
this place and Charleston Ofcourse every in the
State who knows anything about the subject, knows
that the Manchester Railroad and not the Contra
Railroad is the link that is wanted to effect the des
red connection. We are happy to believe that the
success of both these great works is now secured.

A SILVER CURRY COMB FOR OLD WH1rEY-It is
not generally known that the day that a gold
medal, furnished by citizens of New York was pre-
scented to Col Bliss at the White House. siluer cur
~ comb furnished by citizens of the same great state
was presented to Gen Taylor for the benefit of Old
Whitley" the Presidents war horse Governor Sew
ard was the orator the occasion. Of all the alb
surdifes that have been transacted in Washington
during great many years this strikes the most
absurd The doners of the curry comb must have
been badly off for vent for their enthusiasm when
they expend it in bit of plate for horse We
should think too that Col. Bliss must have felt fiat
tered at having himself associated with the old steed
in the affections and honors of New York Gifts and
honors from the Empire State will have new value
now that the world knows that they are extended
alike to man and beast

The STEAMBoAT LINE.-Our attention hat been
called to article in the New York Express of the
9th inst which in speaking of the line between Will
mington and Charleston says that the boats on the
line totally unfit for service and that most of the
mail failures occur at this point on the route Now,
all know about the matter is that since the
establishment of the line two of these boats have
been at every night in the year, and that no acct
dent of any Importance has occurred during all that
time, and we also know that we receive our mails
from the south quite as regularly as we do those
from the north. However, we presume nobody viii
be gladder of an opportunity to dispense with the
boats than the Rel Road Company.

has deserted his old cruising ground off Nahant, and
taken to the latitude of Beaufort s. C. late COM
mnnicaon to the Charleston Courier states that the
supposed sap'snt is only composite monster, form
ed of three whales following in line, whose backs,
rising alternately, present the undulatins eppear-
ance of the coils of serpent. His snakeship must
be getting well stricken in years, for Capt BLANKEN-

beard. Quite venerable old fellow, no doubt, of
patriarchal appearance, and astonishing sagacity.

not lose our patience. The Wilmington Journal is
very unjust towards u.s. to say the least of it. We
unwilling to believe the Editor of that print de-
signed deliberately to insult and injure one who,
whatever may be his towards Others has ever
treated him with courtesy and polieness The char
acer he gives of us is very undeserved and trust
not wlfully entertained-he is mistaken. We re-
member that kindness and amity is more desirable
than pickering and feud, and therefore return him
u soft answer, trusting it may not be without its
usual effect.-Raleigh Times
We assure the Editor of the Times that it would
give the utmost satisfaction to find that we have
been mistaken in the unfayorable character we gave
of him. STILL he should remember that those who
are personally unacquainted with any one, must
form their estimate of his general bearing and char
acter from such data as they may happen to possess
Now, we ask the Editor of the Times in all candor,
if his attack upon Messrs. AsHE and Mckay, was
not such article, and couched in such language
as was calculated to convey precisely such i'm
preston as that reflected in answer? However,
we will not pursue the matter. No can be less
DESTROYS of pickering and feud than are; and no
one more inclined to kindness and amity. We hope,
that in future discussions, when the Times may find
it necessary to alude to such distinguished public
servants as Mr.. AsHE and Gen. Mckay, he will
not allow difference of opinion to betray him into
what he himself must, in his cooler moments regard

1t would appear that better feeling is beginning
to pervade both houses of Congress, and that, al
though dark clouds still hang around the future,
there is nothing beyond them calculated to inspire
alarm Although the peaceable settlement OF the
vexed question of the day might, at first blash ap-
pear distant ever still it is evident upon cio-
ser inspection, that opinion has been maturing in
Congress- and that if it has not yet assumed tae form
of action, it ultimately will do SO, Nearly every
man-certainly every leading man-went to Wash
ington with scheme of his own for the settlement
of this question. Many of these have been tried,
without eecting the object which they were design
ed to accomplish and certainly, if members have
not yet succeeded in hitting upon project which is
practicable they must have ascertained pretty def
nitely what is not, which is an important point in
the inquiry, and, having got thus far, mems minds
will begin to settle down upon some basis of ADJUST
ment, which, if not what each might consider the
