The North Carolina Coal Mines-Cha rlcstOn all
the MetropOlItam Route.


An article in the Fayetteville Observer, of Thurs
day, Cd instant, headed e The Coal Mines--Impor-
tan Projects to Fayetteville has called our atten-
ton to series of projects to which would direct
that of readers Or least such of them as have
not already examined the matter.
1t is, of course, known that the people of Charles
ton have projected Road from that city to intersect
the Wilmington and Manchester Road at or near
Darlington. The name of this proposed work is
The North Eastern Railroad. 1t is also known that
another Road-the Cheraw and Darlington-is in
tended to meet this Road at its intersection with the
Manchester Road, and continue the line to Cheraw,
scih the intention to ertend 1t to the Deep Rire, Coal
Mines in Chatham county, N. C.. Such project has
certainly been discussed in the Charleston papers,
and entertained by her citizens.
1t is proposed to build Railroad from the Mines
to Fayettevile-a distance of some forty to forty
five miles, and we believe a bill is now before the
Legislature 10 incorporate company for that pur-
pose. We quote the language of the Observer TO
show the part which this work is expected to con-
tribute to the Of this Charleston project and
also. in forming link in the metropolitan route
The Observer says:
Now it has occurred to u.s. that railroad from
this place to the Coal Mines may be made part of
this Charleston scheme. This town is but little
out of direct line between the terminus of the North
Eastern road and the Coal Mines. And if we build
40 miles of road Charleston may be glad to be saved
that much of outlay. A railroad from the Manehes-
ter road to this town would PROFESSIONALLY lead to
the completion of the long projected and much de-
sired road from this place to Raleigh And thus we
should be brought into connection with the great
Northern and Southern railroads and that too by
the shortest route from North to South
The bearing of these things upon the prosperity
of our route is obvious, and need not be commented
upon neither is it necessary proper for us to Of

Congress. ..s...
We find nothing beyond the usual routine in the
proceedings of Congress on Monday last. Seine
sparring occurred in the Senate between Messrs.
Mangum and Weller, on the subject of disputed
seat in that body from Kentucky MIR. Mangum
talked as though he felt and i1lnatured on &C
count of the result of the recent Presidential cleo
ton. Mr.. Weller replied that Mr.. Mangum's par
ty during the late election, had attempted system
of humbuggery, and were signally defeated and he
thought the Senator ought to take it in better part
The Senator from North Carolina was about to go
into retirement, where, he hoped, he would have
time to repent of his past political errors. The Sen
ator not too old to repent " For while the lamp
holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may return"
a9-We had hoped to have been able to an
nounce in this weeks paper, the election of Dem
ocratic United States Senator from this State. We
regret to say that hopes, and the hopes and
State are still unreazed Until this question is de-
cided, efficient progress in the other business of the
session need be looked for.
1t will be seen from the communications of our
reliable and attentive Raleigh Correspondent, that
an immense number of projects of Internal Improve
ment, involving additional State debt of three
four millions of dollars are before the Legislature.
No such extensive schemes stand any chance at pres
cnt. Some additional assistance may, perhaps. be
given to works already commenced, and where such
assistance may be considered indispensable to the
salvation of the interest which the State already
holds in these works. The Cape Fear and Deep
River Navigation is q case in point.
The defeat of Free Suffrage is a matter which
cannot awake other feelings than those of regret,
since it is evidently the desire of the people that this
change should be made: and even those Indifferent
upon the subject anxious for its passage in or
der to put an end to all agitation and turmoil arising
from it's discussion.
We publish to-day, from the Raleigh Standard,
the first of series Of articles upon the subject of
Common Schools, directed to the Legislature by our
former correspondent Long Creek who, we pre-
sumo, is generally known to be T. H. Williams Esq,
of this county gentleman who has paid as much
attention to the subject any person in the State,
and exhibits acquaintance with it equal, if not
superior, to that possessed by any other.
Ce-s-4~s is uo1ug JtIe yet. It Is said that the
Democratic members are unusually well dressed,
much better indeed than the Wings, at whose ex-
pense they wear new suits, won on the Presidential
election
