Later from Texas.

Advices from Galveston, Texas, have been receiy-
ed at New Orleans to the I'd inst. which state that
great excitement existed respecting the Colorado
gold mines. The Layacca Journal of the Both ult,
says that nearly four hundred persons then at
work that the profits were from five to ten dollars
per diem and that crowds for many miles round
were focking to the mines. Rich gold deposits have
been found. and it is said that the whole County is
as rich as California in the precious metal
A tremendous gale occurred at Galveston on the
afternoon of the I'd instant. Several steamers were
driven ashore and much injured, -among them the
Magnolia, Buffalo and Neptune. A large number
of schooners, briggs and barques in the harbor suf
fered considerably some were sunk.

Tn the month of March, over $4,000 was received
by the Road,-being the largest amount of receipts
ever realized on it before, in any single month
This is most fattering indication of the rapidly
prosperity of the Road
MIR. Britton offered resolution, authorizing the
President and Directors of the Raleigh and CASTOR
Road, in accordance with the Act of the General
Assembly, to receive any amount OF subscriptions
which may be indispensaby necessary to complete
the connecting link between CASTOR and Weldon ;
which was accepted by MIR. Branch, and finally
passed.
Mr. Branch proposed an additional resolution to
authorize the President and Directors to and
assume control over said Road, when completed
and rendered by the Commissioners. This resolu-
ton passed by large maj ority.
The amended charter of the Company being the
Act of the last Legislature concerning the Raleigh

Will the stockholders accept the same ?-the

No. The remarks Of Mr.. CantweTI, in last Wednes-
days Herald can pass. There was a meeting, and
very considerable number Of people present. who
saw and heard the whole proceedings on the night
of Tuesday, the Sd inst They-the persons pres
ent-and not Mr.. Cantwell, or Mr.. Fulton, are the
judges We will only remark, that in no single in
stance did the Secretary of that meeting at
tempt to read any resolution, unless such reading
was demanded By the meeting, and ordered by the
Chair; did he offer single resolution during the
whole time. Mr. Cantwell is also under misap
prehenson about asking Mr.. Fulton to notice any
fact as Secretary. He asked the Chairman to in
sruct the Secretary to do So The Secretary is con-
scious of having received such order. About the
striking out" of the 7th and 9Th resolutions it is
only necessary to say, that they in the hands
of the Secretary, to be read in precisely the same
manner and on precisely the same footing, with the
other resolutions, which were read and adopted
They were not reached, however, for the al
ready stated in former number of this paper. This
fact sustains our recollection of the matter most FIJI
ly It is unnecessary to refer to Mr. Williams. He
is simply noticed as participating in portion of the
debate, which he certainly did and although his
views differed from ours in some matters his re-
marks were characterized by good temper and abil-
| ity.
We have been too consistent, and too strenuous
an advocate of Free Suffrage and Free Trade, to be
under any apprehension of our position upon these
questions being misunderstood. Had the resolutions
in which these matters are mixed up with others,
been reached. we should have endeavored to obtain
severance of the question, as to have had an OPP
portunity of voting freely upon each separate pro-
position.
Mr. C. might have spared himself the grande
foreesh " at the beginning of his communication,
wherein he intimates rather bad opinion of the
Journal We don't know living soul that cares
the tenth part ola copper for his opinion on the sub
ject. Certainly we don't. AS USUAL the most siren
uous complaints against papers proceed from non
subscribers, in which category Mr.. Cantwel is in
cluded 1t is only right and proper that he should
not read paper for which he does not subscribe.
But the affair is too trifing. Every body here
knows all about it, and estimates it properly, save
and except Mr. Cantwell himself, whose vanity
keeps him unconscious of how small-how less than
nothing, we might SAYS his influence.

ventIon 10 nominate democratic candidate to repre-
sent this district in Congress. Conventions are high.
ly proper and necessary where disorganzaon threat
ems party, and we have no doubt that the democra
tic rarty throughout the district will cheerfuy unite
in holding one, should demand be made for one by
large portion of the democracy of the district. For
ourselves individually, no need for one The
course of Hon. William S. Ashe has, in our opinion
been such as to entte him 10 election and we be-
lieve that in fairly constituted convention he would
get the nomination. But the people of the different
counties will no doubt signify, in due time, their wish
es in regard to convention. By their decision will
the matter be controlled

ceived the Wilmington Journal of the 4h in which
an extract from a letter from gentleman of Duplin
county IS published, which gives account of the
nature OF the meeting held in Kenansville, and the
state OF public opinion in Dupn, and that his charac-
