Mr.. EDrroR. We were much surprised on calling
at the Depot last week to find in the warehouse
some eight or ten Wagon loads of Goods, which
had been received by the Raleigh and Castor Rail
Road, and directed to Wilkes and Surry Counties.
We supposed this some mistake, but from the direc-
tion. which was Mount Airy, via. Raleigh. Here
then are goods intended for places 125 $50 miles
west of this and to be transported from this by wag
gons, at cost of at least 8 3 the hundred, which
will be, when they reach their destination, from
three to three dollars and half per hundred. And
we have men amongst US calling themselves friends
of the State, crying out against Rail Roads. Give
US the Fayetteville Plank Road. the Central Road,
the much abused Raleigh and CASTOR Road, sooner
than this state of things shall longer continue. e..

" WHO Is GOVERNOR!"

Qui5bles must be scarce when the inventive mall
ice of rabid partizan Editor can find nothing more
plausible than the article which appeared in the last
Register under this head.
If the Register wishes to know who the Governor
of North Carolina is he may ascertain by looking at
the election returns of August last he 60 up
to the Capitol, and he will find his Excellency Da-
vaid S. Reid at his post, promptly and energeticay
discharging the duties of the high Office to which the
people of North Carolina have called him.
We doubt not that, if the Governor had accompan-
led the Literary Board down to the Swamp Lands,
which they visiting for the purpose of determn-
ing the pacticability and expediency Of certain
templated improvements, the Register would have
found fault with him, and have wondered how he
could 60 away and leave the business of the State,
which required his presence at the Capital.
If the Editor of the Register is dspleased with
the appointment of the Editor of the Standard one of
the Literary Board, we would remind him that the
late Editor of the Register held that Office for
siderable length of time, and though Is times is not
as they used to was," still what is sauce for the
goose should be sauce for the gander.
We have told the Register who is Governor, we
will tell him who is Neither the Editor of
the Standard the late Wing candidate for that Office,
nor the Editor of the Register, and never will be.
When we such puny efforts made to defame
" such man as Darid s. Reid, :" we are reminded
of hound yelping on the track of lion. Cease
viDers. We bite file!

SLEEPING AFTER DINNER. Dr.. Combe, high au-
tho.ity on all matters of hygiene, says:
Sleeping after dinner is bad practice. On awak-
ing from such indulgence, there is generally some de-
gree Of ebre excitement in consequence of the latter
stages of digestion being hurried on it is only use
fa in old people, and in some cases of disease.
Sleep becomes wholesome only to the healthy when
taken at those hours pointed out by nature an excess
Of it produces lassitude and corpulency, and utterly
debases and Supplies the mind. Corpulent people
should sleep little and upon hard beds. while they
should take abundance of exercise and live abstemi-
ously, that their unhealthy bulk may be reduced.

The Paris Correspondent Of the Journal says of

The Parls correspondent OF the journal says OF
France:
"Our political horizon does not brighten. A very
knowing director of the Bank Of France, told me on
Monday that the bankers and merchants generally
reefng fast and close,-apprehensve of squalls the
stocks have declined two per cent. The President
has conceded 10 his adversares as much as they could
claim; and surely he had right to insist in naming
two or three of his own friends for cabinet Of niue
ministers. Red Republicans and Socialists threaten
insuec,on in of any direct violation of the pre-
scriptions of the Constitution touching revision.
Republican orator answered, '' we care little about
anyrepeal or modification of the electoral law uni
versa suffrage is the universal right. and the people
will exercise it in due season." Three rounds of
hurrahs from the Mountain. This kind of manifes-
,ation was caught by the Parisans from the Congress
Of the Peace Society. At the masked balls of last
month, the crowning concluding grand galoppe al
ways ended with succession of hurrah la .4n,eri-

pared against surprise like that of the Revolution

Of Jenny Lnd's concert last night, at the Chinese
Museum. are estimated at $1,000. She leaves to-
morrow morning for New York. Yesterday the fair

OF contract relative giving the Lind concerts nh his
theatre. Jenny summoned as witness before
Thos. D. Smith. who acted commissioner in the
case. subpoena was issued against her, and she
brought to the court in her carriage by the
sheriff. She was evidently very much agitated and
annoyed. In her evidence, in reply to question of
Q"inlans COUNSEL she stated that she received from
Mr.. Barnum 81 900 out Of every $4,000, gross re-
ceipts, as her share of the profits.

of the packing of the earth from the rains would, it

parts of our own State, from Mississippi and from
Arkansas. ". o. Picayune, 24th uH.

LAW AND MECHANICS. The Bar has long been
crowded with aspirants, of every degree Of caibre
and qualification. Itis extremely pleasant to gaze on
the hill of fame, and imagine ones self standing
on its summit, admired, and envied by the gazers
below. How few, comparatively. realize their dreams.
Years pass on without adding reputation or practice
to one half of the Bar, who, in despite Of manifest
failure, from incompeency on their part, or from ad.
verse causes. still persist in the vain contest Hap
PLY, another and judicious direction is about
to be given to the public mind on this subject The

will put the present of mechanics in the shade.
The union of a substantial education with mechanical
Skill will effect this. Indeed already could name
some mechanics, who are excellent mathematicians,
acquainted with French and German, and able to
study the books in those languages connected with
their vocations. Heretofore fond fathers were wont
to educate their doctors or lawyers, to insure
their respectability and That day is pass

The TURKISH DREss Quite an excitement was
produced at the steamboat landing day before yester-
day. at the appearance of couple of ladies' with the
short Turkish dress. They were travelling in compa-
ny with gentlemen. and were evidently people Of
cultivation. A reyolntion in fe,nale costume is un-
doubtedly in preparation. There can be nothing
more ungraeefal than the long, dragging dresses
which sweep the streets and steps wherever ladies'

FARE BETWEEN Paris AND LONDON. We fancy
the cities far apart separated by the broad Channel
but the present fare of travel between them, will
make them near enough to speak the same Ian
guage, at least. .f
"Tavelling in France, like everything else there,
has been reduced to science. Companies are now
formed at Paris which convey passengers to London
and back at an expense of only thirty fancs-about
six dollars. They will pay all your expenses for
this sum, and give you four days in London to all
the lions. 1t took more money few years ago, to
journey from Paris to Rouen, which is only few
miles off. These pleasure trains, they called,
quit Paris on Sunday, reaching London in the after
noon. give the voyagers Monday, Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday in the city, leaving in lime to get
back to Paris by Friday night" t""
