Col. RuFFIN and the Democrats are called Sc
cessionsts by the Wing editors and leaders in this
District, because they believe that State has the
right to secede for adequate cause. Let US see how
the same method of augmentation will affect MIR.
Stanly. He believes that Congress possesses the
right to pass the Wilmot Provso; he is therefore
a Wilmot Proviso-ist. He holds that Congress pos
sesses The right to abolish slavery in the District of
Columbia ; he is therefore Aboliton-ist so far as
the District is concerned Mr. Stanly disavows that
he is in favor OF exercising either of these rights and
his friends will deny that he is either Provisoist
or an Abotionist; yet there is just good rea son
for applying both him as that of Seces-
sionist" to Col. Rafin. How do Mr. Sanly's friends
like the parallel? GoLds. Pat and Rep.

to North Carolina. Our own best interests are neg

RALEIGH AND CASTOR ROAD.

We learn that the meeting of the subscribers and
friends to the Raleigh and CASTOR Road at Henderson
on Tuesday last, large and that all the Counties
Immediately concerned were well represented, With
the exception Of Warren. Several gentlemen from
Petersburg were present.
William Boylan, Esq, was called to the Chair, and
Mr.. l.. b. Lemay appointed Secretary.
committee appointed to examine the sub
scrPtion books and report the amount of stock TAKEN
The committee reported about 200 subscrib-
ed, to which $4,000 were added by subscriptions
the spot
We learn that franklin County has subscribed up
wards of S 10000; Wake between $4,000 and
$4,000; Petersburg 8 1oo,1OO; Granville about
8 100000; and Warren $l9 ,OOO-making about 1870
600 of the 100000 required by the Charter. War
rem and Granville Counties have done we'll as
it was expec ted they would do, and Warren is es-
Peciay behind but we learn that the people of these
Countess who deeply interested in the success
of the enterprise, will come up to the work with re-
newed zeal and will make up their full quota in due
time.
Spirited and effective Speeches were delivered in
the meeting by Messrs. Saunders and Mordecai.
The friends of the Road appear to feel quite GER
tain that there will be no difficulty in making such
an arrangement with the Company which is to sup
ply the iron, will ensure the additional subscrp-
ton of 800, 0OO-the Company pay for the stock
in iron, which is indispensable to the enterprise and
to be guaranteed fair per cent. upon their in
vestmert. There be doubt, it to us,
that the Road will pay six per cent.-it may pay
seven eight.
We learn that the best spirit pervaded the meet
ing, and that the friends of the enterprise deter
mined that it shall succeed.

present diapidated condition, fol the years ending

EFFECT OF WRITERs SIGNING THEIR NAMES TO
ARTICLES FOR NEWSPAPERS. The correspondent at
Paris OF the New York Commercial 3dperfiser makes
the following remarks in letter descriptive of French
newspaper literature:
{" The effect of the law requiring each newspaper
WEIier to sign his articles has not been what was
predicted by the press. No had consequence has
followed. Greater decency of tone has been intro.
dueed' and the political articles are prepared with
sun greater care. The necessity each journal is now
under to publish the names of men of character and
anii'y among its editors and the unwillingness of
sueh men to expose themselves to danger by impru-
Prudent articles, to discredit by faes ones, have
certainly contributed to the elevation of the press
several men Of talent, heretofore hid in the obscuri,y
OF the columns OF large journals, have established
their regulations on solid bases. There is also
Liberty of rema' allowed to individuals: heinz
personally responsible for Their articles thew eno4
the liberty of saying what they think in their own
way, without regard to the political direction the
prieters wish TO give the journal.
Each of the principal papers has from twelve to
fifteen editors, among whom the different departments
OF labor distributed. La Presse employs as
lar editors fifteen of the ablest writers of the capital

Prof is for two years. 1921 70
This is small amount of prof s-a tre, it is true,
but then the wonder is that the Road has sustained
itself at all.
1t is singular fact as stated by Mr.. Mordecai in
his remarks, that the receipts of the Road increase
it goes down. This is shown in the difference be-
tween 1919 and 1850. We learn, however, that
while the receipts from all for the month of
March, 1850, Gone of the most favorable months in the
operations of the Road exceed those ofMarch, 1919,
by some thousand dollars, those of March, 1851,
fall somewhat behind the receipts of March, 1850,
but still go beyond those of 1919.
We take it for granted that the Charter will be
complied with and the Road reconstructed. Tosup-
pose otherwise would be TO charge the people of War
rem, Granville, franklin, and Wake-to say nothing
of Petersburg-with most censurable Indifference
to their prosperity and best interests.

What have you got to say of Massachusetts, and
Vermont2 No officer of Massachusetts can lay hands
on fugitive slave, with the view of aiding his mas

ature, deliberate nued the ugitiveslave law pass
ed by the last Congress. Can you deny these facts
And yet you traduce defame, and villify South Ca
rolina, whose people as yet have done nothing. and
maintain at the time the most profound silence
in regard this offensive action of these non-save-
holding States Why is this? Is it because Mas.
sachusetts and Vermont are Wing States and South
Carolina Democratic? Is that the reason? Or is il.
because you are hopeess'y given over to Consolda-
ton and the commands of your leaders, right or
wrong?
So far as the fugive-save law is concerned, these
two States this day practically Of the Union.
The Register seems determined on civil war. That
paper denounces, abuses, and seeks, by every
in its power, to rritate and aggravate the people of
South Carolina, and drive them out of the Union;
and if they should go out, the Editor would encour-
age the free States in making upon them to bring
them back. That would be civil war; and if
calamity great should beall u.s. the eternal infamy
of the deed will with the free States, and those
who, in midst, far forget their duty and the OBJ
legations OF common patriotism as to encourage
these free States in their aggressions and insults.

Judge Greene G. Bronson, in reply to an invita-
ton to be present at the Tammany celebration of New
York, wrote" When the several States shall learn
TO mind their own business, without meddling with
the affairs of others, and shall be faithful the
suton it is, without rejecting any part of it, the
Union will stand strong for its enemies without
and within. And when the democracy shall build
again on its old foundation, without constructing new
platforms to catch the factions Of the day, it will re-
gain its ascendercy in this State and in the nation.

DEAD LEAVES.

DEAD LEAVES.
Dreamer in the ravrtle bowers.
VITA thy feet upon the flowers,
And the fountains A prl showers
Thinking in Shy ear,
DON it never seem to thee
That darker time shall be y?
That cloud is near ?
That change must shortly come
On thy pleasant greenwood home?
From the branches overhead
Shall the leaf and flower be shed
Winds shall whistle in the stead
Ot the lark at dawn.
Sleeper in the nooutide ray,
Fly the finger of decay,
Rouse thee and begone!
Ere the falling of the leaf
Break thy slumber, vain aud brief.
On the fountains frozen lace,
In the violers vacant place,
Truth had ample room to trace
Her eternal tale.
Read there, that to fade and fall
Is the common lot of all
In this earthly vale;
Nought must linger by the way,
All things change and pass away.
Youth, o. Youth! enchanted sprite,
Thou that with thine own glad light,
Makest bright things doubiy bright.
Pity weeps fer thee
At the bottom of thy cup,
While the festal wine laughs up,
Still the dregs we see;
And thy cheek has thatred light
Which toretells the coming night.
Youth thou fairy king of kingsl
Angel with the golden wings,
Yearly earth renews her springs,
But thine comes no more
Thou, with thy light, buoyant heart,
Thou, the MONDAY dreamer art,
When the flowers are DER.
Well-a day. the dreary doom
Wilhered leaves and blighted bloom.
