son positively refused to re-arrest Hayes,
who was charged with the numbering of
Bufum and who had escaped from prison.

~ In the South Carolina Legislature,
Hon. Mr. Mazyck has introduced into the
Senate a series of resolutions on the slavery
question, among which we find the follow
ing, which we hope will not be adopted by
that honorable body:
Resolved, That a just and reasonable
regard for their own security and welfare
ought to induce the people of the slavehold-
ing States to annul the compact which sub
jects them to a common government with
the people of the other States, to resume
to themselves respectively the powers dele
gated by them to that Government, and to
form among themselves another confeder-
acy, composed of more homogeneous con-
stituents, and excluding as much as posi-
bic the elements of hostility to their pecu-
liar rights, institutions and property

dent of the Asheville News, writing from
Raleigh says:
1.-The plan which seems most in favor is,
to extend both the n. C.. Central, and the
Wilmington and Rutherford roads, through
the mountains TO Tennessee, with such
State aid as will insure q prompt crossing
of the Blue Ridge.
In connection with this plan, it is pro-
posed to extend the Wilmington and Ruth
erford road through the Butte Mountain
Gap, thus supplying the French Broad
Valley with a railroad, built By State aid.
The question with the people there now be-
comes, whether they wish to secure rail
road for their country, though leading to
North Carolina market, or to take the
chances of South Carolina cQnnection.''

on one acre of land. viz: In September,
1855, he sowcd one bushel of wheat mixed
with turnip seed, from which he raised
forty-fve bushels of wheat ana about 800
bushels of turnips. In June, 1856, he
planted the same ground in corn and peas,
and has harvested fifty-one bushels of corn,

- The Chester Is. c. Standard, in
speaking of the late letter of Hon. r. Barn
well Rhctt to Gov. Adams, advising further
agitation with regard 20 resistance by the
South, very sensibly remarks:
I'VE are much disposed to vote for n
truce in the Secession agitation. tho it may
be well enough TO keep the fires of resistance
burning, for fear that when they are allow
ed to calm down they may die out so far as
not to be capable of rcSuscitation, in case
of dire emergency. We think however, the
people of the South are willing now to hear
q talk of other matters than those OfdisuniOn
and resistance. They have succeeded in
electing their candidate to the Presidency
of the United States. That candidate is
pledged to a constitutional administration
of the government, and many persons be-
lievc that when he is installed and fails from
want of cooperation, or from any other
cause, to redeem his pledge, then it will be
time. enough to cry out against him. Per-
haps therefore it would be the best policy
to tcrider the incoming administration our
support and not anticipate evil before it
shows itself on the stage of action

of over a million of dollars in the treasurv---
a permanent five per cent school fund Of
ten millions of dollars, an unappropriatcd
public domain estimated at one hundred
millions of acres, which, if judiciously used,
would subserve all the purposes of internal
