From The Charleston Mercury.
The Year 1854,

The memory Of the present year will linger long and
painfully in the hearts Of men, Turning in aim any
direction the eye with the traces of pesllence
desolaOn, and death. In the Yves, Indies the dread
cholera has moved down its thousands; and in the is.
land OF Birbadoes, above thousand victims in
the last few months, sadly attest the might and power
Of lis arm. On the banks of The Euxine and Bil,r,
from the ranks of the various armies marsh,llsd for
glory and conquest hundred thousand sdiers have
fallen by the same unseen, yet resstle.s foe. They
have been denied the heos desperate WISH DIV

OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

We make the following extract from letter writ
ten by friend in the Western part of the State and
Of rec ent date:
"Your Correspondent "Gaston " is most certain
ly correct in saying change in the arrangement of
the Judicial Circuits they stand, is positively
necessary to proper and convenient administra-
ton of justice. When the system was first estab
lished in 1906, it then thought that ten Coun-
ties were many were proper and convenient
for the formation of Circuit. And they recogniz-
ed another principle as just and proper, and that
that the Fall Circuits should close before the
meeting of the Legislature, to give every
ton of the country an equal chance, and not to in
terfere with the business of the Courts by the alb
sence of parties. This arrangement adhered to
for thirty years, and even in 1886, when Cir
cult was established, it was not departed from. But
how do things now stand? The two Western Cir
cults have each fourteen Counties and into the
month of December, thus encountering not only bad
and cold weather. but in the four last Courts in each
Circuit lawyers, witnesses and parties absent in
their attendance on the Legislature; so that
have to be continued at heavy expense, thus liter
ally amounting to denial of justice.
This is certainly unjust to the West and ought to
be corrected We have 50 Counties. Eight Circuits
would give ten Counties to each, leaving only two
Counties to be provided for. This could be easily
arranged, and thus everything tremendously settled.
| should think the Legislature would without doubt
create one more Circuit, unless they should be de-
tered from doing they at the last session,
by the different schemes presented. Justice de-
mands it, and public sentiment will approve it."

.THE TERaINUs Ar BEAUFORT.

! The Halcyon and InteIligencer, at Beaufort in an
article the subject of the terminus Of the Attain
tic Railroad, says. q.
'There are in our opinion but two points of con-
tention, the west and east sides of Newport River
We consider Carolina City and Shepard's Point al
most if not entirely identical in interest; and Gal
lant's, the marshes, Lennoxyiile and the Old Town
are all Beaufort. For BEAUFORT then we strike-her
interests will be subserved let the road come to any
of the points east of Newport and her interests viii
be annhlated for years to come, should either point
on the west side of the river be selected the ter
minus Shall this injustice be done? Shall an old,
long established town be destroyed to build up an
interest elsewhere? Let it be remembered that
Beaufort contains 5pulaton of 800 inhabitants,
that her town property amounts in value to 100000,
and that she has resources at hand for an Increase
of business to almost indefinite extent and then
answer shall she be sacrificed? Let it be remember
ed that this contest between contending towns.
She is not the rival of any other place; others
are yet towns even in embryo She does not wish
that justice be done her at the expense of other
locality-on the contrary simple act of justice to
her will improve all Others Bring the road to Beau
fort and every portion of Carteret County will feel
the benefit, but if carried to the west side of the
River, new interest will spring up at her expense,
and greater amount of good will accrue to the
State at large much to the county of Carteret
This work is not one of day. but one requiring
years to accomplish. The first step toaoard It, should

should be fostered and cherished while others
not forgotten Noao with her is critical time. If
from her the Central Road is diverted, her hopes
are bighted, her prospects prematurely crushed,
and for at least fifty years decay will mark her his
tory"
We trust that justice aoU be done to the old town
of Beaufort. Let the people of that place press
their claims earnestly and firmly and the result
may be most proptious 1t would not become
to assume the championship of any particular To-
caty; but while the public convenience and the in
terests of the Road looked to considerations
of paramount Importance we trust the present town
and its claims terminus will be allowed their
full weight. We believe they will be allowed it
hure confidence that Beaufort be the termai
mus Of the great atlantic Road.

- Our European exchanges by the steamer

ing intelligence that the American minister at the
of Madrid has been forbidden to pass though
France his return from the conference ofthe Amer
ministers at Ostcnd by the Emperor, Louis Ma
poleon; that the intelligence of accommodation
was first made known to Mr.. Soule at Calais the
18th utimo, by officer of the police; that con-
firmation of the order of the Emperor received
from Paris while Mr.. Soule under arrest at Ca
lais and that the American minister thereupon
turned to London where he was remaining at the
departure of the steamer. An editorial of the Lon
don Times in which attempt is vainly made to
justify this conduct ofLouis Napoleon, is before
u.s. and it all probability of the naccuracy
of the above statements. We do not, however, fail
to hope that this unexpected decree relating to the
American minister issued under msapprehen-
sion of facts, which, whenever made apparent to the
Emperor, will induce him to make the necessary
reparation.
Much excitement prevail ed among American cit-
Zens in London and Paris on account of this matter
