The FAYETTEVILLE Coal FIELD RAIL
RoAD.-We are gratifed to see that the
people of Fayetteville have determined to
push forward their road to the Coal Fields.
If there ever was public work in North
Carolina that deserved State aid, it is this
one; but as that has zen placed beyond
hope by the action of the last Legislature,
the scheme must be carried on by individual
effort. At a town meeting held on the 18th
instant, it was resolved to build the Road
and books were ordered to be opened for
further subscriptions to be paid in cash or
work at the engineers estimates. Ten
miles of the road is graded and nearly ready
for the superstructure.

A LARGE FARM.

A friend who has been perusing "Los-
sings Field Book of the Revolutions" hand
ed US the following extract from that work.
The author, speaking of his observations
in North Carolina, says:
Between the Flat and Little Rivers,
and filling the whole extent of four miles,
was the immense plantation of Mr. Cameron,
a Scotch gentleman. This plantation ex-
tends parallel with the River a distance of
fifteen miles, and covers an area of about
sixty miles. 1t is well managed and yields
abundant crops of wheat, corn, oats, cotton,
tobacco, potatoes, and other products of
the Northern and Middle States. One
thousand negroes were upon it, under the
direction of several overseers. Its hills
are crowned with fine timber, and obser-
we'd several large focks of sheep and herds
of cattle upon the slopes. 1t is probably
the largest landed estate in the Carolinas,
perhaps in the Union.''
The plantation alluded to is that of Mr.
Paul c. Cameron, in Orange county, net
far from the line of the North Carolina Rail-
road.

~ At the late anniversary meeting of
the Charleston Chamber of Commerce,
among other proceedings we find the fol-
lowing toast and notice of Hon. d. NJ. Bar
ringers response:
sour Sister State Of North Carolina-She
gave us the first declaration of Indepen-
dence. and fought for it on our soil as well
as on her own"
The Hon. d. NJ. Barringer responded in
a most effective and irresistible strain of
pleasantly and happy freedom, interspersed
with graver utterances of the lessons and
duties suggested by the occasion. As an
ex-member of Congress, he made an expert
ence speech, of edifying and instructive
import, and concluded amidst general and
earnest calls for continuance. He propos-
ed
"THe Commercial Prosperity of Charles
rOn-She ought to be the Queen City of the
South"
Gov. Allston here called for three cheers,
which were heartily and Justify given, to
1.-The Old North State.'

1t will be seen by the following from the
Wilmington Herald, that that paper has no
idea of abandoning the Wilmington and
Charlotte Railroad scheme. We see no
reason why the friends of the work should
be suddenly discouraged. 1t is true the
further aid asked from the State was not
granted; but its friends have heretofore ex-
pressed their confidence in the completion
of the work with the original charter, and
the prospect is not more gloomy now than
it was then:
1--WE do not agree with those who assume
that the passage of the Cheraw and Coal
Fields bill is virtually death blow to the
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford road,
although we are free to admit that it will
injure that enterprise. Nor are we willing
to abandon this work which, if it is ever
completed, must necessarily do so much to
advance the interests of our town. We
cannot bring our mind to think of its
abandonment, after all the struggles thus
far made to push it on to completion, nor
shall we do so until it is made as evident
as the sunlight that its construction is
hopeless. w e are very Tar from giving UP
this road "a portion of which is now under
contract,) and which we hope and believe
can and will be built, if not according to the
original intention of its projectors, at least
in such way as to secure the material
benefits resulting from a connection with
the West, to our town. five cannot build
the road direct from town as we have
wished from the beginning-if we cannot
even build it from Walkers ferry. we can
build it from WhitcviIle; and in the last
resort should do so, waving all former
preferences and prejudiccs We merely
throw out these remarks in passing lest it
might be supposed that we coincide in the
sentiment that has been expressed here and
virtually repeated in Fayetteville, that the
w. Charlotte and Rutherford rail road
is 'dead-dead-d dead"
We repudiate this sentiment in toto, and
cling with undiminished confidence to the
belief that this great State work will not be
enrolled among the abortions, but will be
built five can effect union among our
own people"

GREAT FREsHErs

The breaking up of the ice in the north
ern and western Rivers has caused great
destruction of property along their banks.
At Albany. N. Y, the loss is estimated
at two million dollars. The lower part ct
the city was inundated. Houses were swept
off, and several lives lost. Twelve canal
boats, three barges and two steam tugs
were sunk.
At Troy, the water was six feet over the
docks.
The Long Bridge across the Potomac
River near Washington city was carried
away by the accumulation of ice against it.

THE PREss.-It is proposed to have a
convention of newspapers in Virginia, to
be held at Staunton, for the benefit of the
press, and to endeavor 30 introduce the
cash system for subscriptions and adver-
tisements. We should be glad to see the
cash system adopted by the NORTH Carolina
press. Under such system they could
furnish their papers at cheaper rates, and
could present better papers, both in ap-
pearance and in matter. We have been
operating under the cash system for nearly
twelve months. and we are in every respect
satisfied with it. as we have reason to be-
lieve our subscribers are. Our list is now
as large as it ever was, except during ex-
citing State campaigns; and our subscrip-
tons are all reliable. for they are all in
ready money.--RaIeigA Standard.
We approve of the proposition of the
Standard. Let the Convention of North
Carolina newspaper publishers meet in
Raleigh sometime in November or Decem-
Der next.

NEBRASKA TERRITORIAL correspon-
dent gives the following description of the
territory of Nebraska:
The general surface Of the country is roll
ing prairie, with vast bottom lands along the
rivers and large streams, and occasional
magnificent planteaus upon the uplands.-
In beauty and loneliness, and even grandeur
of scenery, it is surpassed by but few por-
tons of our common country.
The climate is much the same as on the
same parallels in the eastern portion of the
State. There are, perhaps, fewer sudden
changes than on the same parallel in the
east; and the atmosphere being much dryer
and purer is more invigorating to the phys
zeal system and healthier than many por-
tions of the east. There were some cases
of fever and ague, however, last fall, and
but these diseases were not general, and
the greater part of the sickness, if not the
whole of these special diseases, were tracea-
bic tie severe exposure. and frequent viola
tions of the ordinary laws of health.
The soil is black alluvial drift depos-
it," from one to ten feet deep. In fact the
soil is so rich and deep as to yield enor-
nous crops, and to be almost inexhaustible.
Wheat, corn, rye, oats, barley, potatoes and
all varieties of the garden" common to this
latitude grow in abundance.
Water is abundant, and of the very best
quality.

~ The Wilmington Herald complains
that the members of the General Assembly
from the counties directly and indirectly
interested in the Wilmington, Charlotte and
Rutherford Road, were all, with few ex-
ceptfons. in favor Of the charter incorpor-
ating the Cheraw and Coal Fields road, an
enterprise which cannot but be considered
as in some sort rival to it." The MEM
bers from Rutherford, Clcaveland, Lincoln.
CASTOR. Mecklenburg, Union, and one from
Arson (Mr Dargun) all voted for it, says the
Herald, and it expresses surprise and would
like to see an explanation.
We have not converscd with any of the
members as to their reasons for voting for
the Chcraw and Coal Field Road and there
fore cannot answer by authority; bat we
suppose they considered it nothing more
than an act of justice to the people along
the proposed line in North Carolina to al
low them to build railroad for their con-
venience and benefit, especially as they
asked no State aid, but on the contrary pro-
posed to pay bonus into the Treasury
from the earnings of the road.
1t is unjust TO deny a simple charter for
a railroad to any portion of the citizens of
our State, and as we have said before, if
the internal improI cment works engaged in
by the State are always to be held up as a
cause for refusing charters to other schemes,
the sooner the State refuses to further en-
gage in such works the better.
Some of the very men who opposed the
Danville connection charter on the ground
of State pride, or State interest if you
please, the habit of sending their pro-
duce to Virginia markets for sale. Yet
these same persons will declaim eloquently
about being "sold out to South Carolina
and Virginia" whenever you talk about
granting railroad facilities to people living
on the borders of our own State.

70 In New York they have been trying
q number of persons for the murder of one
DIR. Burdeli, who was found dead in his
office. Column after column of the news
papers are filled with the affair If it had
been some poor destitute person killed we
should not have heard of it, save the
mere announcement; but DR.. Burdell be-
longed to the upper ten" and had the
dimes, hence the fuss about him. He was
living in adultery, and met the fate he
might have expected.

CAUSE OF THE DEATH OF Mr.. Brooks
We find the following, under the signature
of "Medicus," in the New York Courier and
Enquirer:
at is said that Col. Brooks died of Group.
within ten minutes of his attack. It would
be a stigma on medical science to allow this
report to be believed. TWAS only spasm
of the epiglottis, which is simply valve
that closes the passage to the lungs, when
we swallow food or fluids. Slight conges-
tions of the little valve often take place IN
colds, and produce cough, with altered
voice, and if the congestion extend to the
muscles of this valve, it may fall upon its
own orifice, and suffocation ensue.
The remedy is always at hand. The
patient may place his thumb On one side of
the traches, or windpipe, and his finger on
the other side, small inch below the angle
of the jaw, squeeze it tightly, and push
directly upward towards the tongue, and
the motion, with the pressure on the mus
Giles, will Immediately raise the valve to its
perpendicular position and breathing is res
tored hold it a few minutes until the valve
RECEIVERS its tone, and the patient will be
out of danger"

CONGRESSIONAL.

Mr. Fitch, the newly elected Senator from
Indiana, was qualified and took his seat. A
protest from the black republican members
of the Legislature of Indiana was presented
against allowing the new Senator to hold
his seat, which the Senate now has under
consideration.
In the House of Representatives, on the
18th, Mr. Washburn of Maine, from the
committee on elections, reported against
Mr. Whitfeld's right to his seat. Mr. Oliver
of Missouri, made a minority report in Mr.
Whitfeld's favor.-Further proceedings
were interrupted by the arrival the Senate
to count the votes cast for President and
Vice President, which was then commenced.
After some time spent in examining the
votes, the presiding officer announced that
James Buchanan and John G. Breckenridge
were elected President and Vice President
of the United States.
The question was raised as to the count
ing of the vote of Wisconsin, the electors
having met on the 18th instead of the Sd of
December. The presiding officer stated
that no such vote could be taken in the
convention of the two Houses. The SEN
ate then retired, when a discussion on the
subject commenced in both Houses and
continued till the hour of adjournment.
In the event of the failure of Congress to
pass the tariff bill, it is said that Mr. Camp
bell of Ohio, will press bill to deposit the
surplus revenue among the several States
for safe keeping.

AN AFFECTING SCENE.-A Washington
correspondent of the Montgomery, Gala J
Advertiser and State Gazette, describes a
truly touching scene that occurred over the
dead body of the lamented Brooks. hide
scribably painful must have been the death
of one so loved to the venerable and devot-
ed Judge Butler.
About ten minutes after his death, the
venerable old Senator, whose locks are now
white with the frosts of age, came into the
room, and upon seeing him cold in the en-
brace of death, threw himself upon his bo-
som and wepta as if his heart would burst
from its bounds. Judge Butler had law
ishe1 the attention and affection of many
wears upon Mr.. Brooks, and he seemed to
be the important object of his solicitude
and existence, and while the death-sweat
still stood upon the brow of the immortal
sleeper, the old man called to the fleeing
spirit in tones of sorrow, that moved the
plying hearts of those who stood round to
tears-"My boy, my boy, my boyv and
such scene of mourning and sorrow, as
was witnessed there, cannot be comprehend
ed, much less repeated here!
