or II will be Of interest to the citizens Of the
town and county, to learn that the Board Of
Commissioners, at their meeting on Saturday
last, made contract with Mr.. Josiah Turner.
(of James, for building a suitable culvert at the
intersection of King and 0coneeche streets. and
for grading the streets from that point to the
Railroad Station. 1t is expected that the work
will be commenced, Immediately. and prosecut.
ed with all proper despatch. Mr.. Turner has
acquired some experience BY his work on the
Railroad, which, together with his well known
energy, give us confidence that he will execute
the work we'll and speedily. Il is the purpose
Of the Board to have the other eulyerts and
bridges on King street, between 0coneeche
street and the court house, rebuilt or repaired,
aud the necessary grading done; but il was
thought advisable to have the work at the west
end completed first a. this was necessary 10
give US convenient access to the station. After
grading the streets, Il Is the intention Of the
Board to have them McAdamizcd---tha is, i
the funds hold out.
The Board also passed an ordinance impos-
ing tax Of ten dollars, for town purposes, up.
on all persons licensed to retail spirituous Ii.
quors within the town--the constable TO collect
the tax as soon as the license is issued.

ar We are not ambitious Of having the last
word in the controversy which has sprung up
between the Fayetteville Observer and ourselves,
and shall therefore make no attempt at reply
to the remarks in their issue Of the % instant.
In what VIC have said, we are not aware tha,
we have, as they seem TO suppose, in any man
ner misrepresented them, or taken any unfair
advantage. We have had no unkind feelings,
no jealousies to crafty. Il would affJrd Us
much pleasure to sec Fayetteville grow up and
prosper, as il would all the other towns in the
State. But we thought that, in a moment 81
irritation occasiOned by disappointed expccta-
tons, our editorial brethren At Fayetteville had
given utterance to expressions which could find
no justification in the action Of the Legislature
and our object was, 10 lead TO a more just ap.
probation Of what the Legislature had done
and to a more charitable Interpretation OF the
motives which caused other things to be leis I'M
done. On revision, we are sure the Observer
will no; attempt to justify all ii has said, and
especially is reflections upon the friends Of The
N. Carolina Railroad, in its article noticing III,
increased price Of land at Durham's Depot.
We viii only add, that since il turns out, up
on the settlement with the Sheriff Of Cumber
land, that certain merchants Of Fayetteville
who, according to the Observer, expected 10 ps,
| 81 500 and $4,000 tar under the new Reyenu,
law, have only been required 10 pay .fu. and Ia
dollarst--Perhaps our friends Of the Observer
whose ever waichfuI zeal for the interests o
their own town has led them, in the present in
stance, 70 indulge in unbecoming expressions, ]
no, feelings, towards other sections Of the Stale
will hereafter be in q more pleasant mood.

HorE.-"I hoped on-hoped ever"'
Thus spoke one who had reached the
peak of victory. S Sorm had come up,n
him; shadows dragged their heavy skirts
over the hills and mountains of his life;
cares and sorrows lashed their burdens
on his shoulders: trials and vIcissi,udes
assailcd him; bu, amid them all he had
kept his hope. and now, ere the middle
watch was passed, the angels had Sc,
their seal upon him. and dropped upon
his bow the wreath of triumph. The
gloom was gone forever; and as he stood
with his fee, secure, the sunshine IRON
the Eden hills" fell around him, and
far oat in the valley OF the future he saw
her "ladeless laurel trees" within whose
shade his evening damps should ebb away
softly and gentle as dream Of Heaven.
Hope on-hope ever!' This is true
philosophy. If life is chilled by passing
woe. or dlnmed by cane. hope is song
bird in your heart, breathing hymns con-
tlnually. When Alexander, as he was
about to undertake his expedition against
Persia. distributing the estates OF his
coun.rymcn. he wa, sked what he had
reserved for himself; he answered, Hope.
Every soldier in liie's battle field should
reserve his hope. for 1t shall lead him on,
no matter whu, opposes, to fame and to
conquest.
Brother, give up all else if you will
but, like Alexander, keep your hope.
