Last week we received a very neat
printed note, signed by several ladies, and
what do YOU think the contents were
Woman's Rights! They urged our views

full details, butas our candid views are
demanded we will do our best. Now we
love the female sex as man should, yet we
think they are best at home. We have
no doubt but what many of them could
preach or plead equal to any One-yet it
is ont of their sphere. Indeed we should

duty this morning. 1t to announce to the House
that of its members had been stricken down by the
hand of death. Captain DAVID HARGRAvE, delegate
from the county Of Surry died that morning about hall
past O'Clock The intimate personal relations sub
ssng between himself and his deceased brother mem
Der, justified him in saying that more worthy gentle
man-one actuated by generous or holer sent-
ments-had never enjoyed the privilege OF seat in this
Hall. Mr.. Hargrave had represented the county OF
Surry for four sessions and beloved and respected
by his constituents This fact afforded the best evidence
OF the estimation in which ne was held by those who
knew him best lIe felt deeply the loss which the
family, the friends and the constituents OF Capt Har-
grave had sustained in his death. He concluded by
submitting the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted, viz:

pain and unfeigned regret, OF the death OF DAVID HAIR
GRAVE, Esq, the worthy delegate from the county OF
Sury, and being DESTROYS OF manifesng its regard and
esteem Tor the deceased do adopt the following resolu
tons:
Resolred, That the members and officers of the
House of Delegates, deeply and sincerely sympathzng
with the family of the deceased, will, as an humble ex-
preston of their regard wear the usual badge OF mourn
ing the left arm for the remainder OF the present
sion OF the General Assembly.
Resolved, That committee be appointed by the
House of Delegates to attend the remains of de-
ceased friend to his late residence in the county OF
Sury.
Resolued, That the Speaker of the House of Dele
gates transmit copy OF the foregoing preamble and
solutions to the widow OF the deceased.
The SPEAKER appointed the following gentlemen a
committee to carry the requirements of the second
resolution viz: Messrs. Rives, Griffin, Nicholson and
Boykin.
On motion OF Mr.. RIvEs the House then adjourned.

MAYORS COURT.

The proceedings of his Honors Court the past week
have not possessed much interest.
Yesterday, white man named Terrence Rooney was
examined and convicted of assault on Henry slave.
belonging to Thos. G. Turner and in default Of $500
security for good behaviour, was sent to iail
FINEs.-Mr A. A Hughes was yesterday fined the
snug little Of $l8 for obstrucng Main street, and
Mr.. G. W. Wiley likewise had fine of so cents placed
to his account because his servant deposited coal ashes in
18th street. The streets in such nice condition Just
now, that any attempted improvement of them may
very naturally be deemed msdemeanor. Mr. James
7. Tylor was also fined 81 Wednesday for obstructng
Marshall street with rubbish. Now we know nothing
OF the circumstances attending the imposition of this
ne but this we do know that this identical street is OBJ
structed with mud in manner highly discredable to
civilized community. 1t is, in TRUTH almost impossible
between the New Market House and Second street,
How any citizen obstruct by rubbish street already
INSTRUCTED by mud and water requires degree of as
tueness beyond ordinary comprehension
AssAULT--A young man named Daniel Riorcen was
yesterday brought before the Mayor, charged with as
saung, on the 10th inst, John Brocket Emily Cen
try and Henry Crawley. Owing to the absence of wit
nesses the examination of Mr.. Riorden was continued
till to day when in all probability, the affair will be
thorouphly investigated.

to declare that floor that in this matter he acted from

to reverse his course, because he sincerely believed

OF the present bill would kill that policy. healthy

OF the people was at work. and if the current should not
DC set IN an opposite direction by extravagan appropra
sentatyes from Eastern Virginia, infinitely more able
than himself would raise their voices in that hail. in be-
hall OF the policy OF internal improvement. The
he Mr - had thought proper pursue this subject
might subject him to the anmadversion OF the internal
Improvement party in that house. If so, he had no
gres to lntepose. He had acted from conscientious
convictions Of duty, and felt pride reversing opinions

believed, and his conscience approved his course.

North Cnrnzinn Rnilr0ndS.


The North Carolinians are still moving actively
for the accomplishment of their great central rail-
road enterprise. An enthusiastic Convention for
its promotion was held at Godsboro' on the 3D.
inst. At Wilmington on Saturday last, there were
two large meetings, one for the Central railroad,
and the other for the Wilmington and Manchester
railroad which will connect Wilmington with
Charleston Wilmington and its vicinity have
subscribed 1920 900 to the latter work.
A plan for raising the subscription necessary to
organize the Central Railroad Company was adopt
ed by the Convention which met, some time since,
at Salisbury. The whole subscription, we believe
was divided into one hundred shares, and the
friends of the scheme respectively undertook topro-
cure its proper contribution from each section Of
the State. The Greensboro Patriot thinks that
"the West has ALREADY done more than her part. :"
We observe a communication in the Raleigh
Register strongly recommending connection of
the Central Railroad with the Tennessee and Vir-
gnia Railroad, by a line running from Salisbury,
through or near to Statesville, Taylorsvle, Le-
noir, and through the Johns River Gap of the
Blue Ridge and valley of Watauga river to the
