Gov BRAGG NoMINATED.-With much pleasure
do we announce to our readers this week the nomna
ton of Thos. Bragg for Governor of North Carolina,
by the Democratic State Convention which convened
in Raleigh on the 10th inst The able and impartial
manner in which Gov. Bragg has discharged the
duties of his office, has won the appreciation and
confidence of all liberal minded men, and secured
for him the hearty support of the whole Democratic
party. The State Convention has truly reflected
the wishes Of the Democracy of North Carolina by
selecting him standard bearer. In his hands
our banner will be borne proudly aloft, and wave
VIGOROUSLY at the polls in August next.
We invite particular attention to the proceedings
of the Convention published in paper to-day !;
and ask that the resolutions passed there may be
compared with the wishey washey concerns of the
Greensboro and Philadelphia Conventions.

The MINERAL. REGloN-RAILRoAD TO THE Coal
MNEs-We published in our last an interesting ar
tice from the Fayetteville Observer. giving an &C.
count of the Editor visit to the mineral region in
Chatham. The last Observer contains another arti-
Gle, bringing up and concluding the Editors obser-
vatons the subject, which we will find space for,
if We can, in our next. These articles should be
widely circulated. They are calculated to arouse
our own citizens, as we'll capitalists of other
States to the importance of the numerous elements
of wealth and power which abound in the region re-
ferred to.
The project of Railroad from the coal fields in
Chatham to the North. Carolina Railroad. and the
proposition now before Congress to establish
tional Foundry in Chatham, are exciting, as they
should, the deepest interest among our citizens. The
Hon. Hugh Waddell, Of Orange, passed through this
City on Monday last, on his way to Norfolk with
the view of comforting with the citizens of that
place and of Portsmouth on the subject of Rail-
road from the coal fields to the N. c. Road and
Castor Road, Mr.. Waddell is thoroughly informed
to the resources of the Deep River country, and
clearly foresees the advantages which must result
from the contemplated work and no ono could set
forth these resources and advantages more eloquent
ly or impressvely than he will. His mission, under
taken at the request of friends, is highly laudable
and patriotic one and need not add that we wish
him entire success.
SENATOR DOUGLAS AND Col. LANE-The "Union"
of Saturday last contains the correspondence grow
ing out of the spurious Kansas memorial between
Judge Douglas and Col. Lane, one of the pretended
Senators from Kansas. 1t seems that Gen. Cass
presented this memorial to the Senate-that it was
characterized at the time by Senator's as forgery
that Gen. Cass himself finally became convinced of
the fact whereupon the Senate, by vote Of 35 to g.
rescinded its resolution to print it, and thus virtual
ly stamped it as forgery. Afterwards, it became
the duty of Judge Douglas the Chairman Of the
committee Territories, to examine into the mat
ter which he did under the direction of the Senate,
Col. Lane himself having Invited it by memorial of
his own to that body Judge Douglas came TO the
conclusion again that the memorial was forgery,
and so stated to the Senate. For this Col. Lane did
not challenge him, but sent him note bv his friend
Hon. c. X. Watson, setting forth his view of the
matter, and appealing to the Judge to explain him
self, and to remove all mputation upon the integ
rty of his action motives in connection with that
memorial" Judge Douglas replicd-not to Lane,
but to his friend Watson-giving history Of the
matter, and concluding by stating that there are no
facts within his knowledge that could remove the
imputation complained Of Judge Douglas very
properly refused to correspond with Col Lane. We
concur with the "Union' that the correspondence
has placed Col. Lane in worse predicament even
than he was in before"
