DETENTION OF GOODS.

Our Merchants suffering losses and much incon-
venence from the detention of goods at CASTOR and
Petersburg We learn that large quantities of goods.
which the Petersburg Road has not been able to bring
on have been slowed away in Petersburg and insur-
ed against fire and that there also large quan-
ties at Gason for points along the line, for this place,
and for places up the Roanoke river. Owing to the
late freshet but few if any boats could be procured
few days snce to take goods up the river.
A Hillsborough Merchant told us. a day or two
siace that he had ordered portion of his goods from
the North be delivered at Fayetteville, from which
place he intends to transport them by wagon. The
business of the country is certainly considerably on
the increase, and it is be regretted that the tac-
ties for transportation dom keep pace with this in
crease.
We learn that the Wagoners are getting excellent
prices for hauling. They deserve good prices, for
they have to take weather Of all sorts, and get over
roads which, in some places it is wonder they can
pass at ALL If the CASTOR Road should not be recon-
structed under the of the late session. the Mer-
chants who have heretofore had the benefit of it in
this respect will be compelled to 60 back to the old
system, which. if it is slow, is certainly more sure
and punctual than some of the Rail Roads have of
late been.

GEN. SCOTT.

The New York Herald thus speaks of the Scott
and Seward movement for the Presidency:
"GEN. ScoTT AND HIS PROBABLE PLATFORM. The
movement Commenced by Mr.. Clayton, in Delaware,
school of New York politicians, bids fair to make
Gen. Scott the especial candidate for 1852 of the
free soil and most of the outside factions of the North.
The late success of Seward in this State, the
combined forces of Tammany Hall, Castle Garden,
and the government at Washington. may also lead to
the blending of the administration in support of Gen.
Scott as the "higher law - candidate. AS he now
stands before the country, he is the of all men,
for rallying under common standard, all the frag-
ments, of all shades and stripes, of ant-savery and
Native Amercansm in the North. His letter from
West Point in ls49 is explicitly in favor of the an
nexation of Canada and all the fugtive-saves there

WHAT is THE CAUSE OF THE REPuBL1c's ENDoRsE-
MENT HAMILTON FIsHl 1t is greatly feared by
many that the President of the United States is be-
coming every day more and more reconciled to the
Seward clique. If General Taylor had lived, no one
for moment doubts that he would have been COM
pletely controlled by Mr. Seward and his friends but
who would have supposed that Mr.. Fillmore could.
be brought into sihiIar state of vassalage! Who
that heard his bitter complaints that Mr. Seward pre-
vented his influence being felt, in an appoint
in his city, will believe that the same fate
which poor Taylor met is in store for Fillmore Yet
the appearance looks very much like it. For how else
account for the Presidents strong desire for
the election of Mr.. Fish How comes it that the
Republic endorses Mr.. Fish SO heartily2 Why is it
that Mr.. Seward the Legislative junket at the As
tor House, processes to Mr. Fillmore's mouth
piece and fugleman, and sldvers him as an ana
conda savers upon its victim before swallowing it?
We believe bargain is even now being concluded

SENATOR WADE.-The Ashtabula
Telegraph, published in the county
where Judge Wade resides. holds the
following language in its issue Of
the Isl inst.
Never was anything more absurd,
than the Giddings third party papers
claiming the election Of Judge Wade
as "Free Soil triumph" Nay'more,
we believe that there is not an invet-
crate pro-slavery man in the State oil
Ohio, whom the Giddings organ in
this place, would not prefer to have
seen in the Senate. II gives the lie
to all their statements, that the whig
party is pro-slavery Party-at tae
same time that it elevates toa superb
or height, the man that Mr.. Giddings
has been envious OF. Great "Free
Soil Triumph" that. A few more,and
that fraction Of party will sink into
oblivion. Its a triumph, in spite ol
themselves. Ifany proof were wan
ting to substantiate the above state
ment, we would refer 10 the efforts
Of every member Of the Senate and
Assembly, from this district--men
who knew the Judge well doing their
utmost to defeat Mr.. Wade--and
even voting against him on bis final
election.
