The SENATE passed the House bill granting alter
nate sectional of land to Florida and Alabama, for
the aid of railroads.
In the SENATE, message was received from the
President relative to the routes of Transit between
the Atlantic and Pacific and the general condition
Of Nicaragua. The message says small body OF
citizens had been invited to Nicaragua by the Cas-
tons, and that party would apparently put an end
to the struggle. We do not go, says the message,
behind the fact of foreign government exercising
the actual power to investigate the questions of le
gitim1cy. We do not enquire into the causes which
may have lead to a change of government. Ii then,
when the Nicaraguan Minister, Parker H. French,
came here few months ago, the facts now present.

presented himself and been received, satisfactory

had acknowledged the independence of Mica, aqua,

involved in a war in consequence. The Senate then
adjourned.

PORTRAIT PAINTING.

Having recently visited the studio of Clark, the
Artist, at Salisbury, N. c., the writer was much
pleased to observe the evidently correct portraits
there exhibited. The taste evinced in the preserva'
ton, on canvass of those we love, most assuredly
gives evidence Of purity and elevation OF character
we'll worthy of our race and age. The talent dis
played by Mr. Clark in charging on canvass, from
the smallest sized daguerreotypes, is evidence OF
genius of the highest order. Being native of IVES
tern Virginia, residing in western North Carolina
Mr. Clark's superior artistic ability has only now
local field but we may safely conclude that ne VIII
yet occupy wide space in the estimation OF the
public.
Let. the discerning but properly appreciate his
worth, and the writer ventures opredict that MS
course will be upward and onward. Z

Mr.. GILMER AssAnING THE DIRECTORS OF THE n.
C. RAnRoAD.-We learn that Mr. Gilmer, in his
speeches in the West is assailng in bitter terms the
Directors of this Road. He charges that Gov Bragg
has appointed parcel of incompetent Directors on
the part of the Stae-that the Road is grossly mis-
managed-that bridges are uncovered, and iron,
stills, spikes and other property in large amounts are
scattered up and down the Road and going to waste
and he tells the people that with such management
they may look out for high taxes, &c.
This attack at once so unjust and false, is repell
ed by Gov. Bragg in becoming terms; and we learn
the Governor challenged him to specify persons,
and make good his charge. He made sweeping
charge Of incompetency against all the Directors,
but, when pressed by Gov. Bragg, he named Messrs.
Dick and Dortch as in his estimation among the
incompetent Democrats.
We call upon the people of all parties, and espe-
e'ally the friends of the Central Road to note this
unworthy and desperate movement OF the part of
Mr.. Gllmer to obtain votes.
More on this subject hereafter.
