LOTTERY CoNFIsoATIoN.- "A descent
was made upon the lottery dealers in n.
York, on Tuesday week. They arrest
ed B. B. Mars s. Co. They issued fla
ming circulars, schemes under tie head
of Grand Consolidated Lottery" $780,
600, $4,000, $25, 900 prizes. In their
circulars they present this exhorta,ion
I"To all unlucky buyers we say, 'try a
gain; ! don't give up the ship, and sue
cess will be yours" The officers Sc
cured large number of their circulars
and schemes, together with thirty let
ters which they were about mailing and
about 800 others which they had recei-
we'd from their dupes in various parts OF
the country, nearly all of which contain
ed money in sums varying from So UP
ward, and asked for schemes, numbers,
&c. Some Of these letters were quite
racy in their style, being not only from
young men and m ,idens, but also from
elderly ladies and old men, who, it VOID
appear, had been for sometime patrons
of 3. d. Mars & Co. Many of the let
ters implored and beseeched to have
lucky numbers sent 10 their writers. as
they had already expended considerable
sums TO no purpose!

TELEGRAPH MIRACLEs.-It may moi
be generlly known that operators in mag
netic telegraph offices become SO famil-
lar with the sound of the instrument
through which they receive communica-
tons, as TO know what it says that is
they learn to understand the raps and
pauses as language. and without the
necessity Of having the masks and dots
taken on moving slip of paper, can,
from sound alone, write out communica-
tons. And perhaps every body does not
understand that an operator at one office
may have connection with hundred Of
fees, and write in them all at the same
time. AT the telegraph Office in this city,
when communications are passing from
New Orleans to New York, every word
going both ways may be understood. -
The operator is heard to call, New York
from New Orleans, and in an instant the
repl y passes on its return. In this man
ner items of intelligence, business mes
s"ens ~r,1 .;e.I,ee. l~.~t-.----
are daily exchanged over the enormous
circuit of two thousand miles, and the
most wonderful fact Of all is, that a per-
son familiar with the business, can stand
on the sidewalk in front of the office,
when the communications are complete e,
and by the ticking of the instrument,
can understand The messages as they ply
at inconceivable speed-can bear the op-
orators at New Orleans call, ''hallo, New
York" and catch the response from the
Empire City of ''aye, SIR" while draw

There can be very little doubt but Wilmington
will form Railroad connection with the North Car

Her attention is at present directed TO Charlotte and
there Is 10 be great Convention at that place on the
9Th proximo 10 talk over the matter, and probably
10 lake such preliminary steps the case may re-
quire.
Another part of this movement contemplates an
extension Of the North Carolina Railroad West from
charlotte. 1t is generally agreed to, believe, that
there must be Western extension of the North Car
olIna Railroad, and that il must start from some point
between Greensboro and Charlotte. the precise
point Will not be known, presume, until the meet
ing OF the next Legislature, npon whom it Will de-
VolVe TO pass a charter and designate it's terminal
points, unless, therefore, the people of Wilmington
and Charlotte have resolved 10 construct the works
winch they are al present considering, without re-
gard to the action of the Legislature in reference TO
the Western extension, we are inclined to believe our
wilmington friends will not 60 so far in their pre-
sent pursuit, to exclude the possibility o. giving
different inclination TO their Road West. We of Sal
Isbury, have all along fattered ourselves that the
Western extension would start from tns pace-the
position of our town being peculiarly favorable for
H. And It the Legislature should determine upon
this point it would certainly be to the interest
OF wilmington to form connection here than at any
other point on the line.
There already exists amount of business associa-
ton between Wilmington and this place, largely
exceeding that with any other town in this part of
the State, and with direct connection by railroad it
is evident it must be greatly increased If the west
ern trade is object worthy of the attention of Will
mington, could she possibly do better than to come
here If the travel is any part of her aim. would
she not he more likely to succeed by road to this
place, than by building one which would draw from
her Manchester line portion of the travel that now
reaches her by that route
These are mere chances at the subject, but are in
tended 10 direct the attention of our Wilmington
friends to more extended examination and reflection
The people of this section are sensible of the impor-
lance of the present movement, and will in due time
take action in reference their particular in
erest and what they believe to be the interest of the
State and they hope their Wilmington friends will
be prepared to meet them with degree Of encour-
