RALEIGH AND GASTON ROAD.

We learn that the books Of subscription to this
work have been opened at various points, with good
prospects of success. At this place one gentleman
has subscribed $4,000 and two others S. 900 each;
and the smaller subscriptions, have doubt, will
run up, in the aggregate, to considerable amount.
The true course, in this NATTER to look at things
as they are. Four hundred thousand dollars is no
small amount of money, and it cannot be raised with
out considerable effort and sacrifice. The SUBJ
scrptions, if the work is to succeed must be general
in this community, and along the line of the Road
and in Petersburg and Norfolk and number Of gen.
tlemen, who have the means, must make up their
minds to take considerable amounts. Five hundred
or thousand dollars from men of capital will not
do in this case nor will it do for the business
and proper:yhoders in this community, whose inter-
ests depend SO materially upon the reconstruction of
this Road, to ,ca and ,Uai, for others to take the
stock, until at last-aer they have subscribed one
two hundred dollars each-the enterprise fails! And
if it should fail, it will do no manner of good to sit
down and talk the advantages of the work and
of what might have been done. That would be like
locking the stable after the horse had escaped.
We are gratifed to learn that meetings soon to
be held along the line of the Road, at which the ad
vantages of the work will be set forth by able speak
ers, and the public generally urged to come forward
with their subscriptions, large or small. Let the
friends of this enterprise look at L" the figures, and
then 60 to-work. If, as said in last, Norfolk
and Petersburg should subscribe hundred thousand
dollars each. the taking of the stock may be regarded
as fixed fact; but there is no certainty that these
towns can subscribe to this extent. We hope they
may This place is peculiarly interested in this mat
ter; and it it possessed much energy and enter
prise the noble town of Wilmington, our conjec-
as the amount Of its subscriptions would
be dissipated.

THE LAW IN MARSHFIELD.

We stated in our last, that the citizens of Marsh
field, Massachusetts-the place where Daniel Web
ster resides-had held meeting and resolved not tt
support the fugitive-slave law. We gather the par
ticulars, as follows, from the New York Tribune:
"The citizens of the town of Marsh6eld, the place
of Daniel Websers residence, adopted, at their late
town meeting, held day before yesterday, March 3,
preamble and series of resolutions, by vote OF l2O
to "a, pronouncng the Fugitive Slave unconstltutlon
al. They say 1t is SO, in that, among Others 1t VIC
ates that provision of the Constitution, which de-
clares that no bill of attander post acto law
shall be passed that which declares that no man
shall be deprived of life liberty without due pro-
cess of law and that men charged with crime OF
whose interests are at stake in suits at common law
nvolding sum equal to $50 shall be entitled to trla
by Jury Further they declare that this act is utter
ly repugnant to moral sense, disgrace to the
civilization Of the age and clearly at variance with
the whole spirit of the Christian faith.
The resolutions are very strong. They maintain
that until prepared to repudiate the principles
Of the Declaration of independence and abjure all idea
of Justice and humanity, we can render no voluntary
obedience to this act. The second resolution is as
follows:
that secures the objects tor which this said to be
established we not to be deferred by any threats
of disunion, by any fear Of evils, immediate re-
mote present or future. from using all lawful
means to aid and assist those who have the maniness
and courage to escape from the prison house of bond
age.
The third and fourth declare that while they desire
liberty for themselves and retains spark OF the spirit
which led the Pilgrims across the Ocean; while they
remember the golden rule and recognize the oblga-
ons of charity and love, and good will, their homes
shall be opened to welcome the hunted fugitive as he
passes their doors, in his flight fiom the national
blood.hounds who are baying on his track.
They commend to every fugitive from Slavery the
glorious sentiment of Patrick Henry" Give me lib
erty or give me DEATH"
The preamble and resolutions were ordered to be
entered upon the public official records of the town.
1t will be seen. from the above, that these Marsh
field people very strong Union men. They say
they " love " and will &" defend " the Union! How
would it do to enroll them in the great" Union party
which is now in process of formation! =! They swear
by the Union, and say they will defend it to the
last They say they subscribe to the test, and that
is cry of Union Union! under all circumstances
and in every crisis.

SAILORS AND THEIR DEsEavINes. In an account
of tremendous hurricane at sea, written by pas
senger in brig, in letter to the Tribune, occurs
passage worth remembering by those who are endow-
ing hospitals:
"The behaviour of the seamen throughout this
storm excited my wonder and admiration; they exh-
bited cool and lofty courage, which is never seen
amid the shock of armies and the thunder of battle
The courage of the soldier is not to be compared to
the death-defying heroism Of the seaman. In one
case death is in hot blood and in the excitement
of ba,tle-in the other he is calmly confronted for
hours or days. For whole days the seaman stands
with one foot in watery grave without murmur or
sign OF fear. He endures horrible suspense, more
than thousand sudden deaths. He stands upon the
deck Of his ship. cheek by owl with the grim tyrant,
and he does not shudder turn pale in his company.
The sailor is hero-they are heroes as class. A
brighter day must dawn for such men; their gene
rosy their fidelity, and their death defying bravery
must be acknowledged; and their virtues must he
warded." r~ - -E

| CoTroN SPINDLEs IN GREAT BRITA1S. MANcHEs
TER Jan s1 1851. Our trade report of the lst uit.
contained table of the exports of textile fabrics in
the past year compared with le49, and we have now
the pleasure of adding further statistics which
bear upon the cotton trade.
Those of our friends who have received our trade
report for some years past are perhaps aware that
we have-in the absence of all recent statistical re-
cords on the subject-endeavored to arrive the ex.
tent of the cotton manufacturing power of this coun
try. by collecting the number of spindes direct from
the trade We published the result of these returns
at different times, and in trade report of the lst
of April, 1916, we estimated the number of spindes
in Great Britain at IL, 100000 for ls45. We have
great pleasure in being able to give to day, the first
Government return on this important subject, and to
add, that estimate for l645 has been fully borne
out by the former. The number Of sprndIes. since
added being quite accounted for by the yearly in
crease which has taken place in the manufacturing
power up to the present time.
The rapid increase in spinning will be apparent
from the following:
In 1929 the number of mule spindes used in the Cot
ton manufacturing of England was esti-
mated by our friend Mr.. John kenne-
dy, at 100000

Of the Pennsylvania Legislature in secret caucus
few days ago, and with great unanimty, the Com

Scott as the Whg candidate for the Presidency in
1852, subject to the decision of Wing National

Some friends of Mr.. Webster, now here from Bos-

his having attended the Castle Garden meeting may
have something to do with this. Yours. SMITH.

A Trip TO WILMINGTON. We took flying trip
to Wilmington, few days since, and when gliding
along in splendid and commodions car, at the rate
of 25 miles hour, with scarcely any perceptible
motion, could only compare it to fying-more es-
pecially when we contrasted it with experience
in travelling on the same Great Southern Mail
Route, some twelve fifteen years ago. at the same
season, in two horsecar at the rate of about three
miles an hour and sitting on mail bags. The Rail
Road is now in fine order, about 12O miles having
been re-aid with iron, and the balance on the road
being in progress. The Company have several new
passenger cars, constructed with all the modern i'm
provements, and the ease and rapidty with which we
were hurried along, almost tempted to exclaim in
the language of the miser his in reference to
making money, "make railroads-honestly, if you
can-but make them.'
We also visited the workshops of the Company in
Wilmington, and went on board Of one of their
steamboats,. We were truly grati6ed to witness the
order and regularity observed in every particular, and
had no idea that the Company possessed such ample
means for manufacturing and repairing the various
articles requisite for The business of the Com
pany appears to be rapidly on the increase, and the
day is doubtless at hand when the road will
amply remunerate the owners.
The thrifty appearance and expanded dimensions
of Wilmington also agreeably surprised Us. We
had not been in that town since ls23 and although
had frequent intimatons Of its rapid improvement
since the completion of the Railroad, we little ex-
pected to in it many spacious and elegant pub
lie and private buildings, and such go-ahead spirit
of activity and emulation in its citizens.
In addition to the above, we were somewhat as
tonished at the towns and villages spring
ing into existence, if by magic, the line of the
Railroad. Godsborough and Wilson, are increasing
rapidly; and at almost all of the depots. stores
and private buildings are being erected. We were
absent only few days, and we can heartily com.
mend trip to Wilmington, antidote to the de-
preston Of spirits frequently besettng those
gagged in monotonous pursuits.
