This morning, about half-past u or quarter be-

the corner of Front and Red Cross Streets, short
distance below the Rail Road bridge, which resulted
in the total destruction Of the tenement in which it
originated, and the two adjoining dwellings, one &C.
cupied by Mr. W. A. Gwyer and the other by Mr..
James Grist Mr.. Gwyer we believe lost the great
err BART of his furnture-of MIR. CRISIS the better
portion was saved. We have not heard what the
loss of Mr.. Parker, the occupant of the store may
amount to- We should suppose that the amount of
property destroyed could not be replaced under Sc
ven thousand dollars The fire is believed to have
been purely accidental We heard very considera-
bic complaint of the slowness of the engines in arri
wing upon the ground, and it seemed to not with

DAILY WILMINGTON JoURNAL-On Wednesday
morning last we received the first number of The
! Daily Journal published in Wilmington. \. c. by
Fulton & Price. 1t is neatly printed and contains
good amount of reading matter and, if we may judge
from the first number it will prove Of great
convenience and interest to the people of the State
! but more especially to mercantile communities.
prospectus will be found in another column.
We hope that the enterprise will be sustained and
that it will not be suffered to go down for the want
of adequate support. The merchants ofFayettcville
will find the Daily Journal the best medium for d.
tanning the latest reports of the markets, &c.
The subscription price is only Sc per annum. We
can't imagine how daily paper can be afforded at
the low rate Of six dollars.

The Railroad.

The refusal Of Judge Caldwell to grant an
Injunction on the application of the Iron
Railroad Company is matter Of grati6ca-
tion to all the friends of our road. Not that
it was ever seriously apprehended by the
Directors or Others in this vicinity that there
was any probability that an injunction would
be allowed; but such a thing still being
possible, from misunderstanding by the
Court Of the facts in the case, or other cause,
and the consequences which must necesari-
ly flow therefrom being Of SO serious char
acter, until the application had been made
and failed, some slight uneasiness was,felt
on the subject. Happily that is now over,
and nothing remains to repress the efforts or
dampen the zeal of those engaged in the en-
terprise. Thus far great energy has charac-
terzed the prosecution Of the work, and we
have no reason to apprehend any relaxation
in future. We understand it to be the in
,eDtion Immediately to commence operations
upon that portion of the line which has been
the subject ofcontroversy, as also that with
in and near the city. May every success
attend the work.

Westward HOl

A telegrapic dispatch was received at St
Louis on the 26th ul;imo, from Kansas
which is near the western boundary of Mis-
souri,, adjoining the indian territory. St
Louis and Independence are also in tele
graphic communication. Acontinuous lin,
of telegraphic wire now extends from the
verge ofcivllization on the Western frontier
East Of the Rocky Mountains, to the North
eastern extremity of the United States. AL
luding to this fact the st. Louis Intelligencer
heads an article where is "the West?" and
proceeds to say:
We have not passed the meridian of life ;
and yet within our recollection all the terri
tory west of the Ohio was mparatively a
wilderness inhabited by few squatters,
with now and then mallvillage, consist
ing of tavern, black smith shop, ''gre-
cery" and perhaps retail store or two
Louisville and Cincinnati were then small,
Insignificant towns, whilst st. Louis was
only thrifty village, driving profitable
trade in buffalo robes and beaver skins. AT
that day, 10 the people Of the East, Ohio
and Kentucky were " the West while in
these States " the West was understood to
be the, comparatively unexplored region
West Of the Ohio. But since that Indiana
has grown to be a great State, with its sur
face chequered all over with Railroads. II.
linois has now $4,000 souls within its ter.
ritory, and is marching with giant strides on
the road to wealth and greatness. Missouri
has also nearly seven hundred thousand in-
habitants. and within a few years will have
double that number. Iowa, too, which was
then the abode of savages has since entered
the family Of States, and will soon be one
of the most powerful among them. The
same may be said of Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, and even now we have new States in
embryo; still farther West and North
Minnesota and Nebraska will soon be adding
new stars TO our national flag, whilst Utah
and New Mexico will not linger on the way.

Abolition Excitement.

The Raleigh (N., C.) Standard has an ac
count OF an excitement gotten up in some
nall dozen bordering counties of tnat State.
IN reference TO a couple of itinerant preach
ers--J G. Bacon and Adam Crooks--both
SAID to be from Ohio. A large meeting was
held on the 26th ult., and resolutions adopt
ed expressive Of the sense of those present.
A report was made BY committee, setting
forth the character Of Bacon and Crooks
The Annual Report of the American and
Foreign Anti-Slavery Society was produced
and that part of it read. which showed that
two persons OF the names of these preachers
had been sent by the society to labor through
out Virginia and North Carolina as abolition
'emissaries, and that they had been instru-
mental in running off near one hundred
slaves in the above named States during the
past year. The meeting wound up BY offer
ing rewardof $500 for the apprehension Of
Bacon and Crooks, or$l00 for either of them,
if tahen in North Carolina, at any time aftel
the 5thday Of this month.
There were some three or four hundred per-
sons at this meeting, one-third of whom are
represented to be .abolitionists, and it was
held at place where Crooks had made pre-
yious appointment to preach. The Salem
Press has the following additional particu-
lars
Owing to the threats of defense BY force of
arms, made, no doubt, at the instigation of
Crooks, should he be molested, both parties
were armed with guns, pistols and clubs,
prepared for the worst. A certain abolition
captain appearing with his company on the
ground, fully equipped, was Immediately Or
dered by Gen. Simpson, to disband his men,
which was done in double-quick time.
Satisfactory search having been made, and
it appearing that neither Crooks nor Bacon
were present, the crowd dispersed towards
evening.
We are sorry to say that the Crooksites
displayed an undue amount of insolence du-
ring the day, to say the least of it, causing
an intense excitement, and several attempts
at harrangues were summarily put down.
We have been informed by cool, sober and
peaceably disposed persons, not easily led
away by excitement, that serious consequen-
ces were apprehended, and that strict obedi-
ence to orders given, alone prevented scene
which would have been most awful to be-
hold.
We should think after these demonstra-
tions that Messrs. Bacon and Crooks had BET
ter make themselves scarce in the Southern
States. If what's charged of them be true,
we do not wonder at the excitement they
have produced. They are represented TO be
Wesleyan preachers of unimpeachable char.
acter, aside from these charges.

Steamboat Explosion.

The boiler of the steamboat Dakotah ex.
ploded, ,at Peoria, ILL.,, on the 9th inst, kill.
ing and wounding number of persons S.
The boat was bound for st. PauPs, Minleso-
ia, and had been lying at Peoria for some
four or five weeks, waiting for new boiler,
the old one being too weak to propel her.
She had just received her boiler, and was
starting to take on wood, when the explo-
sion, occurred. There were 43 persons on
board at the time, thirteen of whom were
killed and others badly wounded. The &C.
cident was caused by defects in the boiler.
The boat sunk in five minutes, and is total
loss. It was insured in the Columbus, Ohio,
Insurance Company, for $1,000, and valued
at $4,000. The freight was insured in the
same Office at $4,000. The city council Of
Peoria appropriated 5000, and the citizens
contributedliberall for temporary relief Of
the sufferers. 'as ~

The Cuban Invaders.

sailed from New Orleans on the Pampero, a
letter from New Orleans to the New York

I" General Lopez commands in propria
persona. Col. Crittenden is chief acting of
ficer; Col. Bell accompanies the force, and
some i've Hungarian officers, amongst the m
the valiant Gen. Pragay, Capts Ellis, Victor,
Kerr, &C., &c."
a letter from Washington says the Gov
ernment is fully advised Of all that is going
on The writer adds that;
"There is every probability that, suppo-
sing this Government TO be inactive, there
wlllsoon be arrayed in Cuba a considerable
force oil American buccaneers under Lopez
and that if they are promptly taken by the
CUBAN Government, there will be rush fol

be That it Is allesdy TOO ooioFmidablefor thii

General and western Railroad Bonds.

The effect of the Wall street panic on
Railroad bonds will, for the present, be tC
depreciate them, though they will continue
marketable at some rates. The Erie Con.
vertibles are now at 80, and this may be ia,
ken as an average standard for that sort Of
securities. ~ "a.
The Railroad Companies of Ohio, should,
we think. adopt the principle of not under
taking more work this year than they are
pretty certain OF being able to accomplish
without foreign aid. Not till California re-
imburses large part of the tens of millions
which have been exported in coin, can the
Wall street market be relied upon for a sale
Of bonds. We have already said this alarm
will pass over, and the bonds now,in Wall
street may be sold; but the real difficulty is
that the cords Of credit are stretched so tight,
that the least additional tension will break
them. This tension may be created at any
moment by an excess of foreign importalions,
or by throwing o large amount Of new bonds
on the market.
There is one thing in favor Of Western
bonds and that.is, that just now there is bur
small amount Of new Eastern securities
put in the market. New England has made
as many Railroads as she can bear. The net
income of her roads is not over 81 per cent.
and there are not more than half OF them
where stock is up to par. The Ohio Railroad
stocks have an immense advantage over them,
ntbe fact thata work Of equal value may be
made for half the cost.

John A. corryzin

The following is the testimony 0f The
Hancock Journal, whig paper, to the tai.
ents and worth Of one Of our candidates for
the Supreme Court:
JOHN A. CoRwIN, Ese.ZThis gentlefian
is spoken Of as candidate to be run Oh tina
Democratic ticket for Judge of the Supreme
Court OF Ohio, and from what we can gather.
there is scarcely doubt but he will receive
the nomination.
We hope, should he be one Of the cahdi.
dates, that he may be beaten, say from 10 to
10000; but, in saying this, we do not mean
to be understood as wishing him less success
than Others or all of the nominees Of that
party that may come before the people for
that and similar offices, on the CONTRARY.
should the triumph be on the side Of our DO.
liiical opponents, we feel free warmly to ex-
press our opinion, that no man yet spoken of
by the Democrats for that office, fills our
mind more favorably than the aforementiot.
ed individual He is sound LAWYER, and.
although a strong partizan, possesses senti-
mcnts of liberality much beyond those of
politicians generally. As benevolent man,
as sympathising with the masses Of the peo.
pie, there are none who excel and but few
who equal him. In the discharge of his duA
ties as Judge, we would have the utmost con-
fidence in his integrity; and we could not be
made to believe that the influences Of wealth
or position could. for a single moment, have
weight with him. Independence is his pe-
culiar characteristic, and herein lies his chief
fault. II is a fault, however, which men ad-
mire, and which, while cehsufed, commands
the highest respect. 20 PSI tT77
We do not offer our advice to the party
but it would not be the worst move il ever
made to nominate him; while, in the event
of his election, the people need not fear that
he would administer the law for the benefit
of his political associates. .,.f. -
