KossuTH AND MAZZINI.
The last foreign news brings letters from
both Mazzini and Kossuth in reIatisn to the
proclamation published with Kossutb's name
to it in the late outbreak a. Milan. Mazz;n;
having seen Kossulh's denial of the pa,ern;ty
ofithe document, writes to the London News
asserting that Kossuth did write il while a,
kutayah, and that he had copy in his own
hand writing. He gave to committee called
the Central Internal Direction of the National
party of Italy a copy of this and retained the
original That committee printed il on the re.

NORFOLK AND PETERSBURG R.upo.n-
Inc Norfolk papers speak in high sp;ri,s of
'his enterprise in our opinion the most i'm.
portant yet projected for the city of Norfolk
A meeting Of the commissioners under ,bs !. :,
incorporating the road, had found all the re-.
quirements of the law fulflled, and the Bo,rd
of Public Works will soon be informed of !,
We hope ere long to see an iron band bind;n,
Norfolk and Petersburg and Richmond fast ,o.
geiher, and we trust that Petersburg will on
pose no obstacle to this complete union bu,
allow the Norfolk and Petersburg road to be
put in connection with the Richmond and Pc.
tersburg road. We want to see these three
cities all united-all going ahead. We do
most religiously believe that neither can pros
per unless all of them prosper, and nothing
can promote their prosperity more than perfect
harmony and agreement between them. This
harmony will be greatly facilitated by this
union oftheir railroads.
BARNUM-Somebody said that the illus.
trious Barnum had the consumption and was
seriously i'll. He very promptly denies the
statement, in the Philadelphia Sun. He saws
that except most voracious appetite he has
no consumption at all and never has had: and
he adds that he has pair oflungs "as capable
as ever of blowing their own trumpet" He
confesses to slight affection of the throat
caused by public speaking(!J which induced
him for time to seek milder climate. He
says he is nearly we'll of that. The public will
be delighted to learn that the renowned orator
is so far recovered.
BANKING IN NORTH CARoLINA.-By an act
Of the last Legislature of North Carolina, the
capital of the Bank Of Washington was au.
thorised to be increased $4,000. The books
of subscription for this additional stock were
opened few days since, and the whole amount
was taken up within an hour. Large sub
scriptions were afterwards offered, but could
not be taken. The people hefeabout do not
know much about the geography of the Old
North State, and we have strcng notion of
giving short lessons upon for the general in.
formation. We are reminded especially of this
by having frequently seen the notes of the
bank of Washington, N. c., refused by persons
who were eager TO take the notes of the old
"Cape Fear," or the State bank. Well, now,
WASHINGTON, North Carolina, is a very con-
siderable town on the North side of Tar river,
at its junction with Pamlico river. 1t is the
county seat of Beaufort county. Coasting
vessels of considerable size come up there, and
the lumber and turpentine trade is very large.
We need hardly say that the notes of the bank
of Washington are in as good credit as those
of any of the North Carolina banks, which
a.-e among the best managed and most solvent
in the Union.
CorpxN MINES IN NORTH CARoLIsA.-Tbe
mineral ressa, ,rces of the North State are show.
ing themselves s,ery day to be greater than
had been dreamed Of by the good citizens
thereof. The GreensboTOugh, II: c., Patriot
mentions the copper mines of Df. Stith, and
Messrs. Camman & Co., in Gaiifosd county,
as being exceedingly rich. Between .he diff.
fsrent tunnels or slopes cut in the vein. there
is nscertained, it says, to be copper ore suffi.
cient to bring in market one million of dollars.
We have seen some exceedingly rich speci.
mems picked up at random, in some copper
veins in old Chatham county, not far from Cha
pei Hill, which prove thai they are worth the
attention of capitalists, and that they will add
a good deal of wealth to the State.
