e We are indebted the courtesy of friend, just ar
rived from Raleigh for copy of Major Gwynns Report on
the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation, which we insert
in fufeeng confident that readers without exception
will be anxious o see it.
We surprised to notice from the report of our Raleigh
Correspondent that the Senate has passed the charter
Cheraw and Coal Mine Road being extension of the
North Eastern Railroad of Charleston to the Coal Mines Of
this State making also through line rival to the Seaboard
line and the North Carolina Railroad and leaving only
short gap of twenty miles complete the project
will also render the Wilmington & Charlotte Railroad
South Carolina work. and the further connection OF VIII
mingon with that work act of insanity this charter
passes the House. the Wilmington and Charlotte Road had
much better be dropped-certanly Wilmington could not be
expected to contribute it, and thus assist in cutting he
own throat This charter passed, learn, by very
large majority We trust that the House will look into il
carefully and with better appreciation of the true
interests of the State.

intrgues have been eFecting what British arms had
failed to do. Now Britain lntervenes for the osten-
sble purpose of defending these Afghan principal
ties against Prussia, and has thus identified them
with her interests that in fact all east of Persia
may be looked upon Anglicsed, while British fleets
have access to her coasts lying on the sea of Omau
and the Persian Gulf at short sail from Madras
Thus the great military power of Russia is bal.
anced by other corresponding advantages on the side
of her opponents. If she fights under cover OF the
Persians England array the fierce Afghans of the
mountains. If she has great advantage in men
England has the advantage of position. 1t is very

further remark, which would necessarily have to be
made somewhat at random, at least comparatively
in the dark and might therefore lead us to false con
cusions or perhaps cause unwittingy to do injus
tice.
What the effects OF this report may be, we are I'M
able TO saw. We understand that the friends of the
Road are in better spirits, as they consider the report
favourable to them. This view of the case being
based, we suppose upon the apparently high figures
indicated BY Major Gwyin. We await further deVei'
opements We ask it as an especial favour on the
part of any of our friends in Raleigh, that they will
send US copy of the report soon as printed which
we see it has been ordered to be.

Our Legislature.

But fourteen days remain of the time, to which, by
Joint resolution, the General Assembly of this State
has limited it's Sessions and yet much very much re-
mains to be done Indeed most of the great ques'
tons of the session remain still to be disposed Of
The Revenue of the State-its Currency and It's In
terna improvements. The first must be Increased
Action fsome kind must be taken with the second
either by the charter of the State Bank the crea
ton of some other institution, or institutions to take
it's place, if in other capacity supplying mode
of investment for certain monies belonging to the
Literary Fund Besides, looking at the average Of the
States, and especially those with which we have the
most intimate relations, the Banking Capital of the
State eyenwith the State Bank is not tco much, nor
even enough. Upon the subject of Internal Improve
ments, we can hardly say what will be lonesome
thing suppose, at any rate, some disposal must
be made of many matters which demand attention.
No doubt much progress has been made,-tbe
various Committees have matured business-the two
Houses are, perhaps, ready to act Understandings,
and therefore promptly but yet fourteen days appears
to be rather little time We presume the adjourn
ment will be postponed unit about the 9Th Of Feb
ruary. We see that MIR. Boyd from the Finance
Committee OF the Senate, has reported A Bill tc
amend the goth Chapter of the Revised Cole, emit
led Revenue The estimates of the Committee are
for an increase of one hundred thousand dollars tt
the Revenue. Among other items it is proposed &c
raise the on lands fifteen cents and polls tc
fifty cents We trust that some features of the exis
ting laws will be so modified as to remove oppressive
determinations against our own Merchants and Other
Citizens as in the case of the Liquor Tax.
