In response to a call made upon him, Mr.. Brtton

and if they should be cheered by prompt and decided
action in favor of the enterprise the part Of the
Counties through which the Road run. and especial
". on the part of the people Of Raleigh, he thought
he could safely say that Petersburg would take
SlC 900 of the stock. They might, and he believ.
ed they would. if necessary, take more. He spoke
with confidence of the value of the investment, and
expressed the opinion that the stock would yield
handsome dividends.

seemed to be, that there was no doubt the chartel

and experience in such matters to form sound and
reliable opinion the subject, did not hesitate te
express the belief that the stock Of the Company
would pay handsome dividends. Delegates were II

By law Of Massachusetts, any officer Of hers
who may assist in recapturing fugitive slave is IL
able to fine and imprisonment, and there is an ex-
press prohibition against using any of her als to Sc
cure fugitive, when taken. This law has been in
force several years. The Legislature Of that State is
now in session, and has been for some time but
step has been taken towards repeating this law. 1t
will not he repealed. What is this' but notification
of the boldest character? If South Carolina had been
guilty of such course of action, we should never
hear the last of it.

FRoM NlCARAeUA.--The New York
Herald states, on the authority Of private
adyices, that the British, Government has
at length recalled Mr.. Cha,feld, its agent
in Central America. Il also learns there
is reason to believe that the corps OF en-.
gineers in the employ Of the company
for building great ship canal across the
Isthmus, have made four distinct surveys
Of four distinct routes, and that the one
which has been determined upon, affords
every facility for constructing canal,
sucl, as is proposed, at far less cost
than il was originally expected the work
would occasion. In a short time The
labor Of digging will be begun. The
terminus Of the line will not be, as a,
first intended, at Realejo. The same
company are opening communication
between the two oceans, via the San
Juan river and lake Nicaragua, for the
transportation Of passengers. An engi-
neer has been sent TO remove the rock
in the river BY blasting, and il 10 said
that the rspids may be overcome by q
