TIE SOUTH DEALING WITH THE SoUrH-The Rich
mond Enquirer relates the following incident of the
Savannah Convention:
"A gentleman of this city who attended the Con-
vention, surprised to find that prominent mer-
chant Of Savannah purchased his supply Of nails in
Northern market. In reply to friendly rcmon-
STRANGE, the merchant commended that he could not
get his nails in any Southern CITY, 10 this the gen.
tleman answered that an abundant supply Of the
best article was manufactured in Richmond. The
merchant Immediately sent order for four thou
sand kegs to the Old Dominion Company of this
city,"
That's right. Let US do all we can to bring out
our own resources. Let Southern manufactures
and Southern arts be encouraged. There are per-
who talk valiany for Southern rights, and yet
purchase for their own use many articles from the
North which they might obtain at home. Let US
show our faith by our acts.

Internal Improvement Meeting at GermantO

Internal improvement Meeting at GermantOn.
At meeting of portion OF the citizens of Stokes
and Forsythe, held in the town of Germanton,
Saturday, the 9th of Dec, 1856,
On motion, j. Bethel appointed chairman,
and W. W. Stedman was requested to act as secre-
tary.
The following gentlemen were appointed to pre-
pare matter for the action of the meeting to wit:
DIR. E. b. King, NJ. L. Benton, and Peter Tuttle
who retired, and after few minutes returned. and
reported the following preamble and resolutions,
which were'unanmously adopted:
WHEREAS, We portion Of the citizens of the
counties of Stokes and Forsythe, have witnessed for
years past, with emotions of pride and qualification
the rapid advancement of our whole Union in agri-
culture commerce. education, and the fine arts
And nothing has added more TO that pride than the
fact that, their beloved State has not been hind
most in her efforts to improve and ameOrate the
condition of her people; and the citizens of por
ton of the State have submitted with a greater de-
gree of cheerfulness to all the burdens imposed by
way of taxation in order to aid in the development
of the resources of the State, than those nabiting
this region of country. Yet, they must lie permit
ted to express :heir regret that so little has been
done for this ammediate section, Astounding, as it
does, with mineral wealth, unexcelled by any other
portion of the State if equaled by any other section
of the Union; therefore
Resolced, That the delegations in our Legislature,
from the counties of Stokes and Forsythe, be, and
have railroad chartered at the present SESSION,
which will. when completed, tap this region of coun-
try. The point from which and 10 which it shall
run, will be best determined by themselves the
wisdom of their respective bodies
AND, WHEREAS, Stokes and Forsythe are bccom-
ing large wheat and tobacco growing counties. and
are destined, at no distant day, to become ia
nous for growing superior article of the latter
commodity as they now are for their rich beds of
lime, coal, iron, &C.; and whereas. it is the opinion
of this meeting that the banking capital of this part
of the State is inadequate to the increasing demands
of trade, and to the proper development Of the
ural resources of the country; therefore be it fur
ther
Resolced, That the delegations from the counties
aforesaid be- and they hereby most respectfully
requested to use their utmost eXertions to obtain
branch of some of the banks already in exist
ence; and if that be mpracticable, to endeavor to
obtain charter for original independent bank,
to be located in Germanton.
Resoloed, That the secretary Of this meeting be
requested to furnish delegations in the Legisla
ture with copy of the foregoing proceedings, and
that the Editors of the Raleigh, Greensboro, Saem
Winston, and Lexington papers, be requested to
publish the same.

The Legislature.

:
The attention of our readers is invited to the pro-
ceedings in our paper to-day, from Monday to We'd
nesday inclusive Thursdays proceedings are una
voidably crowded out.
Both Houses held morning and evening sessions
on Thursday, and there appears to be determine.
ton on all sides to work faithfully and constant
ly as possible, so as to despatch the public business
at as early day as practicable.
The Senate was engaged the whole of Thursday
in discussing the bill introduced by MI. Boyd, of
Rockingham, to charter company to construct
Railroad from Greensborough to Danvi!le. When
the bill taken up the question pending was the
amendment proposed by the committee on internal
improvements providing for taxing each passenger
the road twenty cents and each ton of freight
twenty cents, to be paid into the State treasury
Mr. Boyd advocated the bill without the amendment,
but finally voted for the amendment as a compro-
mise. The amendment was adopted Messrs. Eat
on, Houston, and Cameron spoke against the bill;
and Mcssrs. Thomas of jackson, Thomas, of David
son. and Myers, of Mecklenburg, spoke in favor oft
Mr.. Boyd replied to Mr.. Houston; and Mr.. Hill
spoke, favoring connection by way of Milton.
The bill was rejected yeas IA, nays 80.
The debate upon the measure animated, and
characterized by much ability.
In the House, Thursday, large number Of
bills were MISUNDERSTANDING which are several
Railroad charters.
The engrossed bill from the Senate exempting the
coupon bonds of the North. Carolina Railroad from
taxation for ten years, and fixing the interest there
on at rate not exceeding eight per cent, was de-
bated until the time for recess This bill provides
for funding the debt of the Road, amounting to
$3.50. OOO by bonds above referred to. Messrs.
Scales and Bledsoc spoke in favor of the measure,
and Messrs. Caldwell and Meares against it. The
House will probably act finally upon it to-day,
Friday.
The afternoon session of the House was occupied
with private bills. The bill concerning the site of
public buildings in Harnett county was taken up
and discussed at some length and with much ANNA
ton, by Messrs Shepherd, White of Baden, Stew
art, and Bethca This bill proposed to leave it to a
majority of the people of Harnett to decide where
the county scat should be. 1t was defeated-yeas
46, nays SO.
On Thursday, the osing gentlemen were elect
ed by joint ballot of the two Houses, Trustees Of
the University of North-Carolina:
