THE CENTRAL RAIL ROAD.

Inquiries are frequently made as to
''what they're doing about the Railroad. >
and many persons have desired informa-
ton through the Patriot. We can only
say, generally ''they're doing about the
best they can do. We have but little in
formation 10 impart, and no means Of "b-
tanning any more than other citizens. All
know that the various corps of Engineers
have been employed-and we doubt n OF
have been industrious--on the surveys Of
the route. 1t is also known that The Board
of Directors, at their meeting in Dece ember.
fixed the precise locality of the Road. pre-
paratory to letting out contracts, from
Charlotte 10 Lexington, aud from Colds
boro' to Raleigh.
week or SO ago the corps Of Engineers
on the section through this county, under
Principal Assistant Gregg. passed this
place on their last survev-tixing the
precise location of the Road. 1t passes
through the southern part Of the town. "a
few rods north Of the old Institute build

through this county is very eligible one.
The world was not made in a day.
All the preliminary operations ON the
Road, we believe are in fine progress, and
all the engineers and officers of the COM

earlier, for the letting out of the CON-

JOKE. OR NO JOKE?

To invite to dinner at an hour ap-
pointed as to make him arrive about the time
the table is being cleared off, might be thought
joke by the perpetrators but not by the
losing the dinner.
Some few weeks ago, Mr. Hoe, the great print
ing press manufacturer in New York, finished a
press for the editors of the New York Sun, (the
Messrs Beach) that will print (they say) 1000
copies an hour
The Messrs Beach considered the occasion
worthy Of display; and accordingly they de-
termined to give Colonel Hoe public dinner,
to which a number of the members of the press
and authors were to be invited. The dinner was
appointed to be eaten the 2Sth of January and
eaten on that day, by the papers,
with great gusto at the Astor House, and with
the usual amount of toasts. puffs, and speeches.
But the Messrs Beach, it appears, issued just
taco days before the dinner a number of invita-
tons to editors in North Carolina Several of
them have acknow lodged the receipt Of the in
vitation, and made excuses for not attending

MUTINY AND DEATH OF THE MUTlNEERs

MUTI>Y AND DEATH OF THE MUTlNEERs
By private advices received in Boston.
we learn that bloody scene occurred on
board the bark VIM. II. Shalier, Of that
city. commanded by Capt. WIN. ii. Gard
ner, Jf.. on the late passage Of that vessel
from Manila to San Francisco:
1t appears that the w. IL. S. was short
of hands in the port Of NJ. and could not
proceed on her voyage until at least two
men were obtained. Through the aid Of
the Consul. an Enclishman and a Portu-
guese, two notoriously bad characters. were
procured. When few days out, one Of
| the pair refused to obey orders, and after
few words clinched Capt. e.. and they
fell upon the deck. While down. the Sc
cond new recruit was observed approach
ing Captain Gardner with drawn dagger.
| The latter instantly drew a revolver aud
shot the villain with whom he was scuff1ins
through the neck. and then sprang upou
his tee just in time to escape the uplifted
| dirk of the second mutineer, by shooting
him through the heart. This bloody scene
was made quick work. All the officers
and the rest Of the crew were below, and
had not time to render any assistance to
Capt. 6. before the fate Of one Of them
was sealed, and the other tthe one shot
through the neck) was rendered helpless.
He fingered along and got nearly we'll.
until the vessel reached the Bay Of San
Francisco, where he leaped overheard
and was drowned. Capt. Gardner left
his vessel in the last named port, and re-
turned to Boston. by way Of the isthmus
and the last steamer to New York.

O THAT DINNER
The Wuu Ue Missed IL.

We received by last Saturdays mail an
invitation to a great dinner in New York
city! given by ''them Sons of Beaches, - as
Mrs Partnston would say, to Mr. Hoe,
the great manufacturer of lightning presses.
OF course we were all in a fever to be ''off
to Gotham. and were just about to com.
mence backing our boots. preparatory for
Il start. when we again Z lanced at our
cherished ''inv,te''--and OH! ye wretched
victims of cruel disappointment. how We
appreciated your feelings !--how our under
lip hung down and our spirits sank to
zero!--the day mos past!-t dinner
took place on the 28th ult. Dan Tucker
like, we were - too late.'' Our s. invite"
was mailed 26th. If it had been sent by
telegraph, and we could have gone by the
same conveyance, we should have had
plenty of time to get there. and to have
blacked our boots in the bargain, before we
started. The Beach Brothers. are fast
men, and they must have expected others
to be fast--if they got their dinner.
We were forciLiy reminded Of two old
negroes we once knew. Sambo called on
his nei.hbor Cutfee and found him "a, din
ner; Won't you come up and eat sum
fin. sa"bo:' said Cutfee very politely.
:. Don t keer if does,'' was the reply.
Well,'' returned Cuffee, cramming his
mouth full. .. Jest axcd YOU for manners
II got no more'n y ant myself.''
Whether any other in this State than
those who have noticed it in their papers, re-
ceved invitations, not aware. If they
did, they were too smart to say anything about
it; and if not, it may he that the Beaches select
ed these as the green horns to play the Joke up
on This must have been the case, as the invita-
ton was mailed on the goth, and the dinner was
| to take place on the 2oth.

CHIMNEY SWEEP SUFFocATED.--A lit

Saturday. while cleaning a chimney in Il

brought from London. We believe, that
