Battle of MoOre's Creek.

The Wilmington Herald Of Saturday contains
glowing sketch of the recent celebration of the
eighty first anniversary of the battle of Moore's
Creek. The Wilmington Light Infantry, the Ger
Volunteers, the Rife Cadets the Pioneer Cadets
and the Howard Fire Company, Of Wilmington, and
the Lafayette Light Infantry, Of Fayetteville, were
present. The Herald estimates the number of per.
sons on the battle ground as at least two thousand
five hundred. There were visitors from Cumberland,
Jones, Lenoir, Duplin, Sampson, Bladen, Columbus.
and Brunswick, and New Hanover turned out a
large number.
The Grafton on the occasion. which is highly COM

PRESIDENT PIERCE AND HIS CAB1NEr-The Pres
ident and his Cabinet will give place to the new ad-
ministraton, and retire with the respect and graft
tude of vast majority of the American people
During no preceding administration have the great
and varied interests of the country been more sed
ulously guarded or more anxiously cared for and
promoted. The President has been ably seconded
and sustained by his Cabinet; and the Cabinet in
constant accord with the President has itself exhb
tied spirit of union and harmony cTeditable to ev-
cry member thereof, and gratifying and beneficial to
the country. We have had no Galphin nor Gard
ner frauds during Gen. Pierces administration. Ev-
cry dollar of the public money has been honestly
dsbursed and President Pierce retires, leaving the
country out of debt large surplus in the treasury,
and the people prosperous and happy.

1t appears from this table that, Notwithstanding
the fact that it embraces the densey settled manu-
featuring States of New England with their concern
trated wealth, and notwithstanding that the North
in trade has always held trioutary-our wealth
and our patronage contributing materially to build
and support its roads, while ours derive patron
age from them except as an occasional drummer"
seeks our cuStom-yet we have built and now have
in operation just fifty per cent more Of railroad, in
proportion to white population, than the North has.
If we include slaves, free negroes. and In
dams, Ohough there is no more propriety in count
ing them than in counting the horses, cattle, or
other live property of the North the North is less
than ten per cent. in advance of u.s. If we compare
with the great agricultural States of New York and
Pennsylvania, which have coal and the commerce
of the great lakes to aid them, We have double as
much in proportion to white population as they
have; and counting our slaves, free negroes, and
Indians, We are 25 per cent in advance Of them.
This course of remark gives Inc no pleasure, nor
would l derive any satisfaction from such compa-

the manliness and enterprise of great people as
sailed by bgoted ignorance and blind fanatcisn for
holding to the institutions of their fathers"

cially so long as it cannot be denied that it is
southern enterprise with its slave labor that builds
our Lowels, our Manchesters, and our Lawrenccs,

time that the people of the North should cease de-
luding themselves on this subject. This undcrrat-

of the shallow pretexts of demagogues to keep up

The corruptionists in Congress.
Messrs Gilbert and Matteson, Of New York, under
the overwhelming testimony against them, and the,
action Of the House thereon, have resigned their
seats. This is in itself confession Of guilt.

been expelled. ~

Mr.. Edwards, Of New York, who, it will be remem.
bered, attempted to bride Col. Paine, Of this State.

and reporters is better than anticipated it would

RAILROAD ARRASGEMENTs.-We understand the
Presidents of the Raleigh and CASTOR and Charlotte
and South Carolina Railroads endeavoring to
make arrangements with the North Carolina Rail-
road Company to take the passengers and mail
through from Petersburg to Columbia. 1t is pro-
posed that the latter Company will make the neces-
sary connections and the trains at the maximum
rate OF % miles per hour. The adoption Of this
plan will be great advantage to the travelling pub
lie going North or south-givng an uninterrupted
communication between the capitals of North and
SOUTH arolina-and making our State roads the
great highway for Southern travel The proposed
route will have decided advantage over the pres
ent one in saving of time and expense. We are
informed that DR.. Hawkins, the energetic and popu
lar President of the Raleigh and CASTOR, Road, is
busily engaged in making the necessary arrange
ments, and has expressed his intention of running
an additional train, which will make the connection
between Petersburg and Raleigh in less than six
hours If DR.. Hawkins succeeds in bringing his
proposition into action, he will effect great inn
provement, and deserve the thanks OF the stock
holders Of the Raleigh and Castor Railroad.
