BSg- Our contemporary of the New-Berne Atlantic
need not get so excited 1t is true that in his issue
of the 22d of March, he published an editorial arti-
Gle headed Ridicuing General Dockery-Boston
Abotonists," which fully established his claim to
the character of a Donkey. But why need he feel
so bad about it ?-he can't help being Donkey; 1t
comes natural 10 him it is not his fault, and nobody
would hurt his feelings about it, were he only 10
stop braying-but he wont. He exceeds himself
this week, in the Atlantic of the 9Th instant He
adds cubit unto his statureyea verify, cubt and
a half-and furthermore. maketh the astonishing
discovery that we are Irish. Precisely so, Mr.. At
lantic We were born so, precisely as you were
born Donkey. Neither of US could help it, you
know so let us bear several affections patiently,
without aggrawatin' each other and hurting each
others pheelinks.
But speaking more soriousIy--if it be possible to
treat such stuff seriously,-the Atlantic asks to
disprove It's statements if they be false in fact, it
asks us 10 prOUc a ncgatiUe-to prove that the Bos
ton Post is rot an AbotiOnist. 1t may be worth
while attending to this when the Atlantic adduces
one paragraph from the Post to sustain It's totally
founded assertions.

Sleeping In Railroad Cars.

Some few months since noticed announce
ment in the Northern papers which could not fail TO
prove acceptable TO The travelling public-nameIy,
the fact that Mr.. John I. Hammtt, of Philadelphia,
had devised plan for adjusting the seats in Railroad
Cars so that the occupants could enjoy Gil the pleas
ures and advantages OF recumbent position, enabling
them obtain the necessary repose even during long
iourneys-a consummation most devoutly to be wish
ed. and which will be fully appreciated by any per-
son who has travelled all night in Cars furnished
with seats of the usual construction, in which every
position has been assumed in the vain hope of hitting
upon an easier one; and each fresh attempt only re-
suIting in the discovery of some inconvenience
The legs cramped up-the head humping about at the
risk of having the neck broken, and the painful feel
ing of excessive seepness obliged 10 be borne without
the hope of relief. The contrivance of Mr. Hammtt
consists of seat placed in the same position in the
car as the present style of seats usually occupy. 1t
is made, however on the reclining principle and its
occupant, by moving n simple knob. throw him
self back in redundant posture without any other
exertiOn than moving his hand The backward
movement of the seat throws up padded leg rest,
and the traveller is then to all ntents and purposes
reclining a luxurious lounge with the ssingle
Ception that lie has pillow. But this difficulty Mr..
Hammitt has also overcome. Each seat is furnished
with a sliding, sef-adj usng head rest, which can be
moved without the slightest trouble, SO as to suit the
stature or caprice of the traveller These rests are
made to conform 10 the shape OF the head and being
covered with velvet and nicely padded they form
very comfortable pillows. This entire arrangement
is neat, compact, simple and effective and wthal ex
ceedingly tasteful. The occupant of the seat in get
ting out of Il, restores il to lis original position
The machinery by which the desirable object of con
Vertng seat into a couch is effected, is so simple
in its construction, and is made upon such correct me
chanical principles, that lis becoming deranged o.
broken with ordinary usage is almost impossible
These seats we learn have been introduced int o M
night cars on the Baltimore and PHILADELPHIA Rail
road, and have given the fullest satisfaction. w
also informed that the patent seats have been O
about to be introduced upon the Wilmington an
Raleigh, and the Wilmington and Manchester Rail
roads. Indeed, we learn some of them have alread
been put on the Manchester Road and are all that
claimed for them. If so, there can be no question

TnMm Meeting.

Meeting was held last night in the Court House,
to take into consideration the opening OF Princess
Street O. G. Parsley Esq, Magistrate OF Police
was called 10 the chair and T. Burr, Jr, requested TO
act as Secretary. After explaining the objects OF
the meeting Mr. Parsley submitted to it report made
10 the Board of Commissioners by Committee ap-
,ointed to examine into the matter - the Commit
tee consisting of Messrs w A. Wright, John J.
CoroIav and Dr. w. W. Harriss The report took
the ground that the Commissioners are not vested
with the power open Princess or any other street
in tho new limits of the ,own-tha the act extending
the limits defective in far it recognises certain
new plan of the town as evidence OF its limits, but
omts 10 add Streets lots, etc that IN case the Com
niesioners even had power and were willing TO
else it. there would be many practical difficulties, one
of which is that there no legal method prescribed
10 be observed with regard to individual property
which might have TO be taken or removed in opening
street-no mode fixed for arriving at the sum to be
paid ior the property so removed or taken. The re-
port recommends that application be made to the mex
Legislature for the needful power resolution tc
this effect. offered by Mr. McLaurin, was adopted by
the meeting. Mr. Parsley stated that the Commits
sioners were anxious to do this work, but after hav
ing taken legal advice did not feel that they had
the power.
After the business in regard to Princess Street had
been disposed of T. Burr Jr Esq, remarked. that as
Mr.. Fillmore Ex-Presdent of the United States was
expected 10 come this way, it due to him as vel
as 10 ourselves that he should receive fitting vel

HOW STRANGE TT u

That opposition to annexation should come
mainly from that portion of the Union which
engrosses nearly all the profit arising from any
extension of territory.
The opposition to the annexation of Texas
was exceedingly violent; the opposition to the
acquisition Of California and New Mexico still
more so, and the opposition to the peaceful ant
honorable acquisition of Cuba is not less.
And yet nearly the entire profits of these &C
QUESTIONS have and will inure to the benefit O
those opposed to them.
In the case Of Texas, the subject of SLAYER,
was, it is true, made prominent ground of OBJ
lection, but this did not apply to California anG
New Mexico, against whose annexation still
greater opposition was made.
All the shipping engaged in the Texas trad
belonged to the opponents Of its acquisition
all the flour imported into Texas comes from
parties opposed to its annexation; all the manu-
features received into it comes from anti-Texa
men. OF the thousands of shipping which hav,
been engaged in the California trade, the Who'll,
Of it is owned by the opponents of its acquisi
ton. All the goods, wares, and merchandise
sent there are from parties opposed to its ac
QUESTION. Every dollar of its treasure sent to
the Atlantic, goes exclusively into the pockets
Of the most bitter opponents of its acquisition.
They furnish all its supplies and receive all its
gold That gold which has multiplied railroad

throughout the north until it is covered with
lines as with spiders web. The north is in
debted for its enormous prosperity to the gold
which has been received frem this State, whose
entrance it so violently opposed. And what
evils, we emphatically ask, eounterbalance these
advantages?
If Cuba should ever be annexed, the north
will erclusirely supply her wants of merchan-
die, manufactures, and breadstuffs, and furnish
all the shipping, and in return get sugar free
Of duty, while the south will farnish nothing
and receive nothing.
We say it is strange that opposition should
come from such quarters we also say that il
comes from pedagogues, literary, and clerical
dabblers in politics, and not from substantial
practical business men.
We remember well during the election cam
paign while the anti.Texan fever was at its
highest, that in the democratic procession,
transparencies abounded with such inscriptions
as Polk, Dallas, and Texas The democracy
boldly met the question then and conquered
and in the case of any peaceful and honorable
acquisition, a similar flag will ever triumph, all
the abolition howlings to the contrary notwith-
standing.

has any property at all, aoho has not had ii

ritories so fercely opposed BY .tieesoilers and

my Dear Father. was very glad to hear
from you, and hear you was well, but was not
bit glad to hear that mother had baby, be.
cause it was boy. ] should be very glad If it
were little girl, but hate boys worse than
ever. Now, am going to tell you what you
ought TO name him. i am going to choose
homey name, because don't think bows ought
to have pretty names. Boys are squealing all
the time. You don't have one minutes peace
while there is boy baby in the house; but
when you have baby sister in the house you
never hear 1t cry. Name him Peter; that is
good enough for a boy. You must excuse me
for writing SO much about boys; the reason
write so much about boys Is because don't
like them"
