SMITH & CoLBYs INJUNCTION DISSOLVED We
have just heard from Raleigh, that, as might have
been expected the U. S. District Court yesterday
dissolved the Injunction obtained by Smith & Col
by against the President and Directors of the Wes-
tern Railroad Company But thereon the Counsel
of Smith & Colby prayed an appea! to the Supreme
Court Argument on the motion for appeal will be
heard to-day. The Court sat yesterday from 10 A.
M. till near P. NJ.
Should an appeal be granted, which suppose
is almost matter Of course. we have no idea when
it can be decided.
B. F Moore. Esq appeared for the Plaintiffs, and
Hon. Geo. E. Badger and ]. G. Shepherd, Esq for
the Defendants.
We are gratifed to learn, that in delivering the
opinion of the Court, Judge Wayne stated en-
phstically, that all the acts of the Board of Dr.
rectors, so far as he had seen, had been entirely
in accordance with the charter and he had seen
nothing in which they had acted improperly. He
spoke particularly Of the call for the second install
ment, as both right and necessary.

IMPORTANT TO ABSENT HEIRs.-Itis said that ow-
ing to the great mortality at Orleans, caused by the
late epidemic large amounts of property have been
inherited by absent heirs who reside in different
States of the Union. By the law of Louisiana,
such property is only bound for the payment oflqui
dated debts SO that all partnerships subsequent
contracts are null and void The absence OF the law
FIJI heirs has opened wide field for frauds, which
are being daily practlsed.

Cape Fear and Deep River improvements.


T Mr. EDITOR II had the pleasure the other day
of ascending the upper Cape Fear, from jones Falls
Fayetteville, to within fifteen miles of Hay
wood in Chatham county, in the Conpany:s new
Steamer. The boat performed the trip finely, with
out accident or difficulty. In the course of another
week she will be able to reach the mouth of the
Canal at BuckhOrn, nine miles below Haywood, and
as soon as about another months work he done
the line the Steamer will be able to commence
her regular trips from Haywood to Wilmington.
She has TWO cylinders and an eighty horse power
engine. She made, with tow boat 100 feet long
a speed of about miles per hour. Her time thro
the locks about ten minutes and she will be able
to make it in less with Il little moro experience in
handling the gates.
The Steamer with her tow boats will carry from
1000 to 5000 barrels, as learn. According to in
formation | received on the river, | suppose there
are 600 or 60 900 barrels of rosin above Fayette
vile awaiting the boats We passed through
SMILES Falls without the least difficulty, to the
ident surprise Of MANY persons residing IN the vi
cinjty, some Of whom bad predicted that no boat
could ever perform such a feat. To the forecast
and inGomitable energy Of our worthy President.

On EXTENSION AND ANNEXATION, BRITISH
POLITICIANS AND PHILANTHRoPIsTs.
In the Senate, a few days since, during
discussion arising from the tripdrt,te conven-
ton 10 protect Cuba, mentioned in the Presi-
dents Message, Gen. Cass took occasion to
define his position and opinions. He said -
As to the general subject of annexation,
have no new views 10 disclose. Il is pretty
well known that have a capacious swallow
for territory, though | am Tree TO confess,
that can wait awhile patiently, if neces.
sary, and spend The time in digesting our
last acquisitions. They sit light upon The
stomach, and promise to promote the health
OF the body polite, TO degree surprising
the sanguine expectations of those who ex-
pecied most from The measure. And we
cannot employ this interval of waiting bet
ter than by The adoption of wise and eff
cient means to bind our recent acquisitions
TO tie rest of the conlederacy, by the ties OF
interest, as well as Of affection.
We are often asked by the timd and the
cautious, where is annexation to stop? That
question viii NOT be answered in my day,

may devolve the duty and The responsibility

political wants of The communiiy-ihls
American scheme of political organization
opens wide field for It's operatons-indeed
an almost boundless one.
It is well know Gen. Cass never had any re-
markable Partially for Britain. The wings
urged as an argument against his election to
the Presidency in 1913, that he would plunge
the Union into war with Great Britain. The
following extract from his speech in the Sen
ate, expresses his views of British politics and
philanthropy; and his opinions must meet the
approval of every high-minded American
The language is rather caustic, but just what
might have been expected from man of the
decision, consistency and honesty of Gen.
Cass.
Il repeat, sir, that denounce any acquisi-
| ton but an honest one. And we can look
back with graft, ing pride 10 the course we
have pursued upon this subject, and safely
challenge comparison with that OF any other
nation and especially of that nation which,
IN the spirit OF the Pharisee, arrogales 10 IL
1 seltth crown of self righteousness above all
The other people of The earth. We have
made four acquisitions, two by peaceful pur,
chase, one by voluntary annexation, and The
fourth by conquest, 10 just war, and by the
payment OF vast sum OF money, after CIV
