tire Road west The Western passenger train leaves
Raleigh daily at o'clock in the morning. and reaches
Charlotte at half past o'clock in the afternoon
The day which we passed up was bright and
pleasant, and we took seat which was favorable to
make observations both upon the Road and the
try which Jay along it. This road is well built for
safety, strength and durability. On some parts of
it the traveller passes curves rather otener than he
could DESIRE but the speed of travel at such Places
is, by rule Of the Directors and President, so re-
duced as to prevent accidents. We have travelled
quite number of times ON some portions of it. and
without any accident occurring. Mr. Fisher, of Sa-
lsbury, is very energetic as the President of the
Road, and the Conductors and other officers under
him are prompt in their attention to passengers

"Let no one hereafter doubt the patriotic devo-

ELECTIONS AT THE NoRrH.-The result of the State
elections in Vermont and Maine is, that the Black
Republicans have swept every thing, electing their
Governors and almost the entire Legislatures, by
unprecedented majorities.
We confess that we chronicle these things with
sincere dstrust and ALARM fearing that they are but
the precursors of what the entire Northern States
will do in the ensuing Presidential election. Every
day develops the strength of this disunion sectional
party, and their intention to carry their sectional
fanatical opinions into the election of Chief Magis-
trate. We fear they may succeed-and then comes
"the beginning of the end.
We love the Union, and our prayer is that it may
continue "down to the latest syllable of recorded
tne" if it can be perpetuated the constitutional
equalities and rights of each section; but if Motif
the North prefers separation rather than yield this
we say" let it conceive repeat Is let it come"
Our trust and confidence in an overriding Pro-
violence to subyert the evil Vaccinations of bad men,
is however, undated and it is this silver lining"
to the murky cloud that overspreads our National
sky, that bids US look up with hope.
