:: QUIET" FOR A r., E.

We make The following extract from letter in the
Washington Republic, dated Boston. April 2i:
1.-THE most dangerous men among US, who, by The
eternal repetition of their madness and folly, have
gotten believe the whole of it. are quiet here just
a, this moment; but they will doubtless break forth
again. Their minds have lost their tension by strain
ing upon one idea. | heard, the other day. that
friend of Wendell Phillips told him the best lawyers
connecting his ncendiary talk with consequent overt
acts, believed he had committed treason and was IL
able to be hanged. The very thing want he ex-
claimed in great excitement" -'.
We can perceive great difference between Wen
dell Phillips and the State of Massachusetts. The
people of that State. through their Legislature, have
made it penal offence in any of their officers to aid
In capturing escaped slave, and have denied the
.se of their prisons to the slave after he is
ZEN; and the back of this they have just elected
sumner to the Senate. We told our readers, in ou,
list, who Sumner is. He occupies the same platform
With Garrison and Wendell Phillips; and we fea,
aey have the State of Massachusetts for their COM
pny.
These fends ncarnate are ''quiet " just nov, bu
they will break forth again." So we go. The
South is to have no repose-such thing rest and
"quet" to her. is to be but bubble and dream
Such state of things cannot long continue. I" Il
that be treason, make the most of it ~

POSITION OF JUDGE WADE.

The Hon. b. +. Wade, the new Whig Senator from
Ohio, has addressed letter to citizen of New-Lis-
bon, defining his pos,ion and the course he intends
to pursue. The following extract from this letter
find in the 6 Palladium - of that place: ....:
First, then, l am Whg, always Whig, and
nothing e.se-a Whig. because believe the best in
erests OF our country connected with the

NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.

NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOClATlON.
The last Richmond Enquirer, speaking the of An
nua Meeting of the National Medical Association in
Charleston, says:
Many of our physicians will this week set out
for Charleston, S. c., to attend the annual meeting
of the National Medical Society of the Union, which
will convene on Tuesday next. Upwards of twen-
ty members of the Northern faculty have passed
through Richmond their way thi,her-stopping
in this city for a brief period-among them tie dis
tnguished Dr.. Warren of Boston, to whom adj
dressed the admirable letters of DR.. Drake Of Gin
cinnat, on the happy condition Of Southern slaves
and on the patriotic duty of the Northern people
touching this subject. On Monday evening next. by
a singular coincidence, will also assemble in Char
lesion, S. c., Convention of delegates from all the
Southern Rights Associations of South Carolina.
We trust that the presence and harmonious action
OF so many enlightened men, from all parts of the
Union, collected to devise measures for the success
of science and the interest and honor of the medical
profession of the entire confederacy, will have hap
py influence upon the deliberations of the South Ca
roIina Convention, great many of whom, We fear,
for rushing into the torrent of separate State
cession. May their influence throw oil on the trou-
bled waters, and put off the angry measure of dis
union, and may the counses of Senator Butler. and
Messrs. Orr and Wallace, who have advanced the
strongest arguments why South Carolina should not,
in contempt of all the advice af her sister Southern
States, secede alone, be needed :"

A GOOD THING.

We find the following good thing in late number
of the New York Herald:
"All other movements indicate nervous and
trembling condition Of the system. They seem fear.
ful that they will put their hands out far from them
that they cannot pull them in without burning their
fingers; but the Scott movement is so determined,
that they put hin into the White House any
how, or in any shape-e,her as President, Emperor,
Sultan, or Czar. 1t would indeed be dro thing
if General Scott should be President, after all his
hasty plates of soup. In lS4O supported him for
two years, and m ght have had him nominated it it
had not been-not tor his hasty soup, but-for his
has:y tongue and pen. We do not see how the de-
lnocra,s make any strong headway against him,
have General Houston, General Pillow General But
Ter, General Lane, General Qu.uan, 10y the way,
one OF the best of them,) and, we may add General
Tom Thumb, who are geuerals. But who among
them will be able to conpete with the glory and
inches of General Scott! The most even contest,
We believe, would be between General Scott and
General Houston. In intellect and inches they are
nearly Of size. General Houston, however, has
the advantage General Scott in military point.
He commenced the Mexican war and caught General
Santa Anna, who, at that tine, had two legs. Gen
era Scott finished the Mexican war, but could not
catch General Santa Anna, though that time he had
~ glory, is leg in advance of Scott, he caught
General Santa Anna when he had two good running
legs, while. with one leg only. he got away from
General Scott and his army of $1,000 men,"
The above point, about the legs, would be a capi-
tai Whig argument in Presidential campaign.
This hit Of the Herald will cause many hearty
laugh. We copy it for its fun, without endorsing
any of its statements conclusions.

THE CENTRAL AND GASTON ROADS.
Wecopy the following from the last Hornets Nest,
without, of course, endorsing or disappearing any
thing it contains. We anxious, however, that all
sides should be heard reservng to ourselves the right
to express our views, from time to time, in our
own way. The Nest says:
1T is now thought that the CASTOR Road will 60
down, and believed by the invest eating, by men who
lock before they think, and think we'll before they
speak, that the Central Road depends so much upoR
ihe Gaston Road that the failure of the latter is but
the index Of the formers failure. We arrive a, the
sane conclusion from the comparison which fellows.
The Central Road is to be about 22O niles long,
say 10 Raleigh I6O miles. which distance answers all
the purposes Of our remarks. The Wilmington Road
is about the same, Say l60 Suppose the road to be
finished from Charlotte Raleigh and in operation.
The CASTOR road we suppose still TO be in operation.
The Central road has cost 81, 3,O0O,G COO. Take the in
in through travel upon the ilmington road and
suppose it will amount to the same the Central
roaj. Sl93,7O6 81. The way travel per cent. more
than the Wilmington road, s65.50l 80. Mails,
rrn.se,c the same SsO.95 81, Freights 7l O7l 26.
The whole making Sill PA 81, very pretty income.
bet we may safely SET the freight down AT $l5,OtO
more, making the snHg sum of $426.24l 81. Take
from this amour, the interest payable on the money
the road cost 600, and there reIan 1921 24 ST.
Deduct fo: ordinary and extraordinary expenses the
OGO. and we have a balance of SS5,22l 81, a very
pretty remainder for profits, but still only something
like per cent.
I.e, US look at another phase of the subject. We
lcse n consequence Of the failure oil the Castor road
tile through travel and great mail, amounting, with
deduction from the Wilmington estimate. to $780,
OG0 swamping previously estimated profits aud
putting re road or the Stale debt about 81 1000
annually.
From this view Of the matter, somewhat hastily
gone over, is true, but in which large margin has
been allowed for the of the road in connec-
ton ith the Castor road and small estimate taken
without the connection it will be that so greatly
does the Central road depend upon the Raleigh aud
CASTOR one that the failure of the latter will drive
all prudent from any participation in the forne!
ruinous project
Lose, say we, the through travel and the Great
Mail from the Central road, and it would just pay
enough for it meet such fate, as snakes heads
and rotten timbers show upon the Castor road"

FRosr. We were visited, on Tuesday morning
last, by slight frost which, in places did
iderable damage to the cotton. We have heard of
no serious damage to wheat and other growing crops
Judging from present appearances, wa should pre-
