MAxrms FOR You've MEN. Keep good company
Never be idle If your hands cannot be
usefuy employed, attend to the cultivation of your
mind. Always speak the truth. Make few prom
iSes. Live up 10 your engagements. Keep your
own secrets, if you have any. When you speak to
a person, look him in the face. Good company and
good conversation the very snews of virtue.
Good character is above all things else. Your char
acter cannot be essentially injured except by your
If any speaks evil of you, let your
life be so that none will believe him. Drink no kind
of intoxicating liquors. Ever live, misfortune ex-
cepted within your income. When you retire to bed
think what you have been doing during the day.
Make no haste to be rich if you would prosper. Small
and steady gains give competency with tranquility of
mind. Never play at any kind of game of chance;
Avoid temptation through fear you may not withstand
it, Earn money before you spend it. Never run in
debt, unless you see way to get out again Never
borrow if you can possibly avoid it. Do not marry
until you are able to support wife. Never speak
evil Of any one. Keep yourself innocent, if you
would be happy. Save when you are young 10 spend
when you are old. Read over the above maxims at
least once week, and adopt the maxims and exam
pies of mercantile morality incucated and exh bted
from time to time in the pages of the Merchants Mag
dztne and success will crown your efforts in the bat.

SCOTT AND JONES.

The Wing Convention of Maine, which assembled
on the 9th, adopted Resolution recommending the
holding of the Wing National Convention at Phila-
delphia the 18th of June next; and also express
ed preference for Gen. Scott and James G. Jones,
of Tennessee, for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency.
We predicted. some time since, that the next NOM

Presidency would be gunpoUder and fun and ii must
be confessed, think, by the most determined Fill
more men, that things are tending that way.
In connection with the foregoing we ask leave most
respectfully to put the following question to the Ra-
leigh Register When will Mr.. Fillmore begin his
race for the Presidency, and where is Mr. Graham!

GRAND ENTERPRISE. We it stated that the
Senate of Georgia has passed bill cbarterng rail-
road from the North Carolina line in Macon county,
via the town of Clayton, through the Raburns Gap,
and thence 10 Anderson Court House. If this char
ter should become law, it will open the capita
lists of South Carolina one of the most magnificent
enterprises that enlisted their attention. The
object is to extend the end Of the Road from
the North Carolina line TO Knoxville, some point
the Hlwassa Railroad, thus connecting Charles
ton directly by Railroad with TIE Great Tennessee
State Road. which is now in of construction,
from Knoxville, up the valley Of the Nolachuka, to
Abingdon and Lynchburg, Virginia. This connec-
ton will put the great valley of Western Virginia.

therefore, of the greatest and most important
jects of the ge not only 10 the States embraced in
the foregoing programme but to the entire Southern
country and if consu,nmated, of which there be
doubt, if the way is once opened up by liberal
charters from the several States interested, will do

interests of the South than has been done by its

THE WHEELING BRIDGE CASE.

LIE w f1EELlNI bhiDTE CASE.
The following are the leading facts in this in-
portant suit:
l. The Wheeling bridge is 80 feet high, and
has clear span of 1,01O feet, being erected
without piers.
2. The extreme floods in the Ohio, which
the court allow to be considered in the cause,
rise 80 feet high
3. Boats with chimneys not exceeding 60
feet in height can pass under the bridge on the
highest floods recognised by the court.
There are seren Steamboats,, recently
built, which have raised their chimneys to
heights varying from 70 to IS feet, and which
claim the right to pass the bridge, in any stage
Of the water, without lowering their pipes.
S. To accommodate these seven boats, the
Supreme Court has decided that this structure,
which cost more than t,co hundred thousand
dollars must be abated.
6. The plans of the bridge were published
two years in advance of its erection, and no
complaint or objection was made until the
Bridge Company had expended their entire
capital. CHARLES ELLET, JR.,
Civil Engineer.
