NORTH CAROLINA.

We have already noticed the adjournment of the
Legislature of North Carolina on Monday, the 9th
nit. In looking over the list of Acts and Reso-
lutions passed during the session we notice the
following which possess more than local interest
An act authorizing the Seaboard and Roanoke
Rail Road Company TO issue bonds directs that the
company may issue bonds to the amount of $500 900
under the seal OF the company in Of 900 each
ot7 cent interest payable semi annually in the city

A very large number of acts for the incorpora.

granting no subscriptions by the State.
1t does not appear that any proposition was in.
troduced, during the session for charter author-
zing d connection between the Central Railroad
and the Richmond and Danville Railroad. Mr..
Tunstall we understand, visited Raleigh in accord-
ance with the direction of the Stockholders in tn g
latter work, but we believe it was agreed amongst
the friends ofhe proposed connection that it would
be well to postpone any application to the Legisla-
turs until the Danvle road shall have been farther
advanced towards its completion: influential gen.
tlemen of North Carolina, who are interested in
the matter, expressing entire confidence, that there
will at the proper time be no difficulty in obtaining
the desired charter.
No joint resolutions were adopted by the Lee
gislature, announcing the purposes of the State,
with respect to the question of slavery-a suffi-
cient proof that North Carolina has no purpose
whatever, of acceding to the proposition of her
ooutuStH HclgHUouT ana NdlnesaK6 1Or secession
from the Union. There was abundance of discus
sion in each OF the two Houses, and, if we re-
member rightly. each adopted resolutions,
amounting to declaration that the State would
acquiesce in the Compromise, but would consid.
or the repeal or notification If the Fugitive Law
cause OF Disunion; but the two Houses could not
agree on any one series of resolves, and the
whole subject was designsdy no doubt permitted
to go Enacted upon.
We formerly published the joint resolutions.
which were adopted, condemning the granting Of
further protection to manufactures.
In the following resolutions, touching those Of
Vermont, the Legislature followed the example
set by the General Assembly of Virginia:
