"TnE triumph of the candidate of the Demo-
cratic party, brought forward by the men of the
SOUTH, will secure, probably FOR EVER, the as
tendency of liberal commercial principles, and
should Lord Derby next year be disposed to take
the American tariff fot his model, we have little
doubt tina. it will serve to remove the last illu-
sions of the protective system from his mind. In
this respect, and on this point, we take General
Pierce to be fair representative of the opinions
of Mr. Calhoun, and, as such, A VALUABLE PRAc-

Night.

BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night
As a feather is waited downward
From al eagle in his flight.
see the light of the village
Clean through the rain and the mist,
And feeling of sadness comes DER me,
That my soul cannot resist;
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is moi akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read,,t me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And Danish The thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old mas, ,ers,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of Time.
For, like strains of martial music,
Theit mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toll and endeavor;
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose songs gush from his heart
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eye-lids start,
Who, through long days of labor
And nights devoid of ease,
Sill heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
This restless pulse of care,
And come ike the beaediction
~ That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume,
The poem Of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

Mr.. HOLDEN: In the last Raleigh Star see cub.
ished memorial addressed TO the Legislature on be-.
| halfof the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Company,
asking TO be relieved from the payment of the bonds
TO The State, executed on account of the transfer 10
the Company of deed in trust upon the Weldon
Bridge, held by the State; upon the ground that the
Company acquired title the Bridge by the trans
IerIout that the title to the land upon which the
bridge was built was outstanding In the heirs of one
Martha Carter, who had transferred the same TO the
Company.
II is not intended now to discuss the question of
que "nlcn the OLD PORTSMOUTH and Roanoke Railroad
Company had to the Bridge That title, whatever it
was' was conveyed to Edward B. Dudley in trust to
secure large debt due to the State-afterwards BY
virtue OF executions against the Company, the Bridge
was sold subject the deed in trust and purchased
by Francis E. Rives
The Roanoke Railroad Company, which was sub.
sequentiy merged in the Sea5oard COMPANY upon
Its organization, for . nominal sum, obtained an as
slgnment from the heirs of Martha Carter of all such
title as they had.
1t was some time subsequent to this that the Sea-
board Company obtained the transfer of the States
deed in trust in the manner stated in the memorial
In the month of August, 1851, the Company caused
the trustee to advertise and sell the Bridge
10 the highest bidder at Weldon and was bid off by
Francis II. Rives for the of SIS, 900, which hs
paid, and deed for the Bridge, was then made 10
him by Gov. Dudley.
The Company, under the provisions in their char
yer ao.aorlsng the taking of private property their
subsequently took possession of the Bridge and
In proceedings instituted by The m for that purpose
against Mr.. Rives, had considerable portion of the
Bridge condemned as his property for their use and
proceedings are now pending in Court the instance
of Mr.. Rives against the Company to have the dam
ages assessed for the residre of the Bridge.
The foregoing is simple statement of the facts
connected with the matter. In making this statement
Il Is mol the purpose of the writer prejudice the
claims OF the Company in any respect, but he thinks
1t due to the public and the Legislature that the facts
should be known in order that there NAV be correct
derstanding of it. He would be glad to see the
Tehet asked for by the Company extended to them.
they have constructed public work which largely
benefits the State. The State of Virginia having
purchased at the price of $50 900 all that portion Of
he old Portsmouth Rail Road lying in that State,
gave it TO the present Company. 1t would
oe great stretch of liberaliy the part of Moth
Carolina to give them up this debt.
