PROTESTANT EPIsCoPAL CONVENTION OF S.
C.-Yesterday large and respectable body of
Clergy and Laity Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. assembled at 10 o'clock in St. Michaers
Church. The occasion was one of uncommon
interest, as Bishop Of that influential body is
about to be elected.
Morning Prayer with the Litany was said by
the Rev. p. ]. Shand, Rector of Trinity Church,
Columbia, and an appropriate and eloquent SER
mon delivered by a venerable Divine, the Rev.
Henry Elwell. The preacher reviewed some of
the most prominent points of difference of opin-
ion among his brethren, and exhorted them to
unity and peace.
The Communion was then administered to
very large body of devout participants, by the Rt
Rev. DR.. Boone, Missionary Bishop to China, as
sisted by the Rev. DR.. Hanckel and the Rev.
Messrs. Keith, Trapier and Barnwell.
The roll was called, and fifty eight clergymen
found present, and representatives from twenty
or thirty parishes.
Several questions came up as to disputed votes
and were all settled harmoniously. The former
Secretary the Rev. G. Wallace, and his assistant
the Rev. E. A. Gagner, were unanimously " re-
elected
A Committee was appointed to devise plan
for the support of the Bishop, so as to free him
from all parochial labors, and one o'clock to-day

dy, ESQ.,, and carried, that it be printed for the
use of the Convention.
The report of the Committee on unfinished
business wus read by the Chairman, the Rev.
Mr. Woodward, Of st. Lukes, and on motion
was adopted.
There seemed to be some misunderstanding
among the members relative to the hour of re.
cunning the balloting for Bishop-some con-
tending that it should be taken up at once,
while others that as it was reported in the morn.
ing papers to take place at o'clock, some of
the members might wait for that hour. After
some debate, it was put to vote, and carried
that the roll be called second time, in order
to ascertain how many were absent, and the
balloting be Immediately commenced.
The Convention then proceeded to the bal.
loting, and-on the 18th ballot, the following
was the result: Clerical vote-Davis 40, scat.
tering IA. Lay vote--Davis 33, scattering 9.

FAYETTEVILLE AND WESTERN PLANE RoAp.-
At an annual meeting of, the Stockholders of this
Company at Fayetteville, on the, l4th ultimo,
the following proceedings were had in reference
to the construction of a branch extending in the
direction of Salisbury. Our citizens should re-
gard this movement with interest. We have
nothing to loose, but a great deal to gain by a
connection with the Fayetteville and Western
Road. The stock of this Company is paying
about per cent. per annum, after setting aside
large sum for repairs and extensions. Where
can capitalists make better investment? 1t is
better than North Carolina bonds, and they are
at the top of the pot in the Northern Market.
DR.. N. B. Hill of Randolph county presented
a subscription paper of $4,000, by about Is
individuals of the Uwharie country in Randolph,
nronosinr to build Branch road from some
point between the 8sth and 7Sd mile post, to
the Davidson county line. Dr. Hill accompanied
the presentation with some practical remarks, in
which he said that he and his neighbors asked
no money, but only to be received into this Com.
pany, and thus be enabled to act under its char
ter.
On motion, the subject was referred to Com
mittee, consisting of Messrs. w. Wiuslow, Geo.
McNeill, DR.. N. B. Hill, Francis Fries and Jas,
Kyle.
FRIDAY, April Is.
i, w. Winslow, Esq, from the Committee on
Branch Roads, submitted the following resolu-
tions
Resolved, That the construction Of Branch
Road from the main stem from a point between
the 6sth and fsd miles, through the Uwharie
county to the Davidson line, IS desirable, and
the President and Directors are hereby recon-.
mended to construct the same II practicable, and
for that purpose to fill up pthe capital stock, ap-
plvinp to that branch the surplus Of capital re-
naming after the completion of the main stem,
and branches now in course Of construction.

that the community will be deprived Of his valuable

to be opened. This treaty must be annulled,
in order to SECURE for the United States the ex.
elusive control of any of these esecommunications.
But all joint protectorates of such communica.

the United States. The United States are to

matters relative to this Continent Such is be.

Pierce, and his administration.

Fire.

We learn that stable belonging to Capt. B. Mccoy,
miles east of this place, was destroyed by fire on
Saturday morning last The fire was discovered about
o'clock, and is supposed to have been communicated
by spark from light or pipe, dropped by some one
who had during the night taken horse to ride which
was fastened up in the stable and which found in
the road near by at the time of the fire.
We regret to add that Capt Mccoy, in his efforts to
save adjoining stable, fell from ladder and was
severely hurt.

are mostly stalwart and able bodied men, many
of them with very iutelIi gent faces, very clean

fashion oftheir country. For several evenings
past,iu the vicinity of the city, purchasers Of
these men have been selecting them frem the
droves and pens, cabins and enclosures in

it, the fanatical spirit with a yigor audpoWer

The Policy of the Administratio,

The Policy of the Administrator.
We copy iron, the New York Journal of
Commerce an article consisting of some editc.
nal comments on letter from Washington,
which follows them. With the sensible editor
OF that paper, We heartily agree that the pro.
gramme Of foreign policy sketched by-th wri-
ter of the letter, ought not TO be true, and we
publish It for the purpose of expressing our
strong conviction, that this, and u thousand
other like statements, atttributiug to the Ad-
mnistrstion purpose of boarding all the world
by the assertion of a so called American poll
scy, are in no degree trustworthy. We are
CONVINCED that the statesmen who compost at
this time the Executive of the United States,
sare men of prudence and good counsel; that
they neither desire wantouly to plunge into
disputes with other nations, nor will incur the
ridicule of all the world, and of all time, by
asserting for the. United States Democratic
right of primogentiture to inherit all the va
cant. or obsolete, or incompetent sovereignties
z of North and South America. =.
To be an earnest and watchful friend Of all
]. the American Governments; TO extend our
commercial intercourse and to increase our po.
litical good understanding with them by all
7 proper moans-this we heartily approve. and
this we have reason to believe will form fea-
t,,re in the exterior policy Of President Pierces
Administration. We hope SO, for it will be a
; step in maintenance of the Monroe doctrine,
at once sure, peaceful, and full of good results.
