BEAUFORT ARBOU R TIIE AL ROAD
The Greensbo Pattiot of last week republish-
es an article from the Salisbury paper with letter
in answer from GOV. Morehead on the subject of the
survey of the proposed Railroad from the Harbour
of Beaufort to the Raleigh and Wilmington Railroad
at or near the town of Goldsborough. It may be
that the suspicious of the writer of Yadkn as to
the survey may be well founded, and that there may
be grounds to fear that interested considerations may
operate on some who may be connected with this
business and therefore it is proper that the public
eve should be directed to it. But if have exanin-
ed the charter correctly and understood its provis
ions, the President of the North Carolina Railroad
has nothing to do with this survey and authority
to interfere in its direction termination whatever.
The charter provides that the Governor or President
of the board of Internal improvements is required
to make the necessary arrangements with the Presi
dent and Directors of the North Carolina Railroad
for the survey and this arrangement having been
made in the appointment OF a suitable corps OF En-
gneers the business of the President and Directors
of the North Carolina Railroad is at end. The
Directors their President have no authority
der the charter, whatever they may assume to con-
troll direct the survey. They have right to give
any orders instructions the subject Nor is the
Engineer in any way responsible to them for the
manner in which he may discharge his duty. The
charter requires that the Chief Engineer who shall
make the survey to make an accurate estimate OF the
cost for the construction and to make his report to
the Board of Internal improvements" If any one
is authorized to control and direct this matter it is
not the President of the North Carolina Railroad,
but to the Governor President of the Board of In
ternal improvements, and for the very obvious rea
son that it will become that Board to make report
to the next General Assembly and to advise not,
shall think proper, for the State to become in
terested in the work by taking stock. If be
rect in my reading of the charter it is the duty of
the Governor and not the President of the Central
Road to look to this business and that the survey
is made exclusively with view to the public interest,"
irrespective of favors former speculations.

SATURDAY NIGHT! How the heart of the weary
reoices, as, with his weeks wages in his pocket
he HES him home to gather his little ones around
him and draw consolation from his hearthstone for
the many hard hours he has toiled to win his pit
lance. Saturday night! How the poor woman signs
for very relief she realizes that again God has sent
her time for rest; and though her rewards have been
small yet is she content to live on, for even her
heart builds up in the future home where it is al
ways Saturday eve! How the care worn man of
business relaxes his brow, and closing his shop,
saunters deliberately around to gather up little
gossip he goes quietly home to take good rest!
How softly the young man pronounces the word, for
bright eyed maiden is in waiting and this Saturday
night shall be blessed time for him-there will be
few words spoken by the garden gae and there will
be pressure of hands-perhaps pressure of lips
blessed Saturday night To all kind Heaven has
given little eaven which works in the heart to stir
up the gentle emotions, and Saturday night alone
seems the meet and fitting time for dreaming gentle
dreams. Blessed Saturday night and can but

membrance of its many holy hours now gone into
the far past-memories which every Saturday but
recalls like benediction pronounced by one loved

The EPIDEMIC AT NEW ORLEANS. The Howard
Benevolent Association of New Orleans having eX-
hausted all their funds, have, in view of the contn-
ued spread of the pestence there, addressed ap-
peal to the Lousianians and other benevolent indi-
viduals at the North. An Episcopal Clergyman of
New Orleans, in letter to Rev. Dr. Hawkes., Of New
York, says:

with the fever and by tomorrow do not expect to
find ten of them alive I am going from house to

In response to this appeal several of the leading
merchants of New York Immediately subscribed the
sum of 81 465, of which s. 900 was RENTED to the
Howard Association on Friday, and similar amount
it was expected would be forwarded yesterday. The

OUR PRESIDENT The President of the United
States is not old man. " His eye is not dimmed
with years, is his natural force abated But he
has reached period of life at which firm, frank and
honest men rarely change the principles by which
their lives have been guided, and which they have
cherished and defended through the sunshine and
storm. Such man is the President, and such is
the unyielding tenacity with which he has chung to
the national democratic creed. He nall nerer ADAM
don 1T. To suppose that he do in his policy
his practice is to suppose that his identity can be
changed &c. too, it is with the eminent and able
men from all sections of the country whom he has
summoned to share in his counsels Their most
strenuous opponents will at least concede to them
one and all, fXednees of purpose and force of WILL
Washington U1aiOn
Perhaps one, unless he be in closest relations
with the President, understand the full force of
the above quotation No one unless he be thus sit
uated fully appreciate that dsinterested zeal for
the welfare of the country which actuates our De-
mocratc President We are not of that class, which
rushes out of the plain way to find perverse and I'M
manly motives for the action of tried Democrat
like FRANKLIN PIERCE That he has but one aim,
the glory and success of his country, while he re-
mains at its head; that all his appointments have
been directed with this aim that he has not proscrib
ed men account of former differences of opinion
when he found them at the common altar of the De-
mocracy-is evident to any one, who does not wish
to pervert the true meaning of his intelligent and
national action. The Democracy expect of him. in
the increasing influence of the federal patronage
fair distribution among all sections of the country,
steady hand against the Entertainments of federal
consolidation, and clear head not only to discern
the time honored principles of the party but to ap
ply them vigorously to each case it arises in the
progress of his administration. That he will meet
this expectation, we are fully assured by what he
has already done. AS during the canvass there was
found in his course nothing to condemn nothing but
what the purest propriety and most sterling Democ-
racy would approve, in his administration, he has
proved and will prove himself national man. with
head to discern and head to guide u.s. in the old
Democratic path and to adapt our principles to the
eXigencies as they arise. Ohio Statesman.

leaving her about three hundred dollars. He was
young man well known in this community, and re-
spected Since his Disease she has resided with her
aged and poor parents and become responsible for
the rent of the house. Gradually, the small amount
left her melted away and finally when the rent bill
come in she was unable to pay it. She was sued,
Judgment obtained, and execution taken out. The
usual bond to disclose was given, and the time ap
pointed, but by very natural mistake on her part,
it was not made. The consequence was, that she
must involve her sureties go to jail Like an hon
orable woman, she chose the latter; and there she
now is-a prisoner, within the gloomy walls of that
terrible building. ra Portland 1rgus
