Our PLANK RoADs.-We learn that the Subscr-
bers of the stock to build branch to the Fayette-
Vile and Western Plank Road have secured to that
Company the required amount to build the road to
Summerville, in this county, leaving the main stem
some IA or Is miles from this town.
We learn, also, that the Engineer of the Company
has been directed convenient to survey
and locate the branch and it will be very soon in
course of construction. The length of the branch
will be some Is or 20 miles.
We are informed that the Directors of the Fayette-
Vile and Centre Road at their meeting on Thursday,
directed that the section of their Road between Fay
ettevlle and Puppy Creek in this county be mme-
diately surveyed and located, and put in of
construction.
We believe the Road from this place to Kingsbury.
in the direction of Raleigh is also being surveyed in
order to be put under construction.
Success to the good work. Only let the present
plans be carried out. and Fayetteville will be in a
position to defy competition Fay Car. 9Th INST.

Rirer and Harbour improvements.

The Galveston Journal publishes letter from
the Hon. V. E. Howard, one of the representa-
tives of Texas in the late Congress, in which he
expounds his views on the subject of river and
harbour improvements, as follows:
"My course on the subject of internal improvements,
cannot be mistaken il is fortified by nv votes I
voted for the late bill which defeated in the Senate
1t contained appropriations for The Red river Colorado
and Rio Grande, and also appropriation OF $50 900

harbnrs and the mouths Of our rivers This amount
would nave purchased boats sufficient TO have deepen

The bill contained no appropriations for the Trinity.

I'm relation to the general subject when before the

You will find abstract of these appropriations in

All this is highly instructive in Virginia,
which has been suffering grevously, ever since
she was State, for the want of lin appropriation
of some $780, 900 to bring ships drawing II feet
of water up to Richmond. Her Democratic
teachers make her people believe that it is NOT
Democratic to favour appropriations for such an
object; whilst Democracy elsewhere North and
South, is freely helping itself to the Federal
bounty. This, as the world goes, is rather
worse than "dog-in-the- policy"

The TRIAL OF DAMON and his wife, for the
murder of Tilghman Hunt, took place in Fayette-
vile on Wednesday last The evidence in the
case did not vary much from tie statements made
in this paper, some weeks ago. The wife was
included as accessory, and it was in evidence also
that she had but short time before the murder,
attempted 10 commit it herself, had the axe raised
to give the blow, but desisted on Damon shaking
his head dissentingly at her. The reason of his
doing so, was that he was fearful she would make
mlss-ick and the plot would fail. This evidence
was G ven BY the boy and GIRL and but little weight
was given 10 it, as there was acknowledged en-
nifty between them and the woman.
On Thursday forenoon the Jury returned YER
dict of guilty against Damon, and cleared the wo-
man.
Damon was sentenced to be hung on Friday the
9th day of June next.-Fay. Caroinian,

CENSUS TAKING.

Every body seems to be conscious that our Cen
sus taking machinery is exceedingly defective.
We are pleased, therefore, to learn, from the fol-
lowing article of the Washington Republic, that
one of the most intelligent gentlemen connected
with the Census proposes to visit Europe partly
for the purpose of aequainting himself with the
operations of the science of population statistics
in Europe. The business of Census taking is
said to be conducted with wonderful skill and des-
patch in England.
We have seen in several newspaper illusions made
by letter. writers this city to the proposed visit OF Mr.
J. G. c. KENNEDY, OF the Census Office, to Europe,

no reference the exhbition-he object being 10 ex-
anime into the methods adopted for tabular arrange
ment by those governments which have just taken their
census and to obtain exact information concerning the
machinery and results OF the statistical operations OF
the Old World now in progress, and knowledge Of
their past history and workings, and endeavor to ef
feet some arrangements by which their and our
census operations shall be rendered more recprocaly
beneficial. This is believed can be effected by an
understanding which shall secure the collection Of as
many similar elementary facts as possible the publ
cation of such facts will admit thereof in All uni
