A Sinking Fund.

Mr.. Blelsoe, of Wake, has introduced into the
Commons bill to create sinking fund-that is, a
fund pay the debt of the State it falls due, and
relieve the people, far possible, from taxation.
The bill provides for three Commissioners TO man.
age the fund, to be appointed by the Governor and
Council-to hold their meetings in Raleigh in the
office of The Comptroller. to keep record of their
proceedings by Secretary, and to be paid three dol
lars per day for their services while engaged. The
dividends the preferred stock of the State in the
North Carolina Road-the tax on the stock OF the
Bank of Cape Fear, and the Bank of the State, and
the dividends on any stock for which the State may
subscribe authorized to be subscribed in any Bank
during the present session, and above the inter.
est any bonds issued by the State 10 pay for such
subscription of Bank stockare set apart to raise
Sinking Fund.
Some measure of the kind is indispensable, and we
are glad that MIR. Bledsoe has introduced his bill
We trust that the subject will be fully Considered by
the Finance Committee and by the Two Houses; and
that some plan to effect the object in view by Mr..
bledsoe, will be matured and adopted.

HUNTINGDON IN Sine SING PRIsoN-Ths N. York
Times has the following account of the initiation of
Hunting don, the Wall street orger, into the mystic
rieS of Sing Sing prison:
Huntingdon reached the prison last Friday evening
after The convicts locked up, and was shown to
cell for the nigh without any change inNhis toilet
On the following morning officer raped at his
door and signed that his presence desired in the
physicians apartment, where he was provided with
The usual striped wardrobe. He was then conducted
10 the BARRIERS shop, and he submitted 10 the loss of
his beard. This occupied till II o'clock, A. NJ. and
when the usual dinner hour arrived he ready 10
join bis tonfrerss in the dining room.
1t will be remembered that the Clerk OF the Court
asked Huntingdon, after Judge Capron had pronounc.
ed his sentence, the usual question if he had any
chanical trade, and was answered in the negative
1t seems that he formerly engaged, for three
street, and on the strength of this he has been
assigned to the cabinet shop at the prison. under the
contract of Mr. C. H. Woodruff. He is engaged IN
the simple operation of saving and planning boards,
which is less intellectual employment than dealing
in notes in Wall street But there is this about it
he will now have the benefit of the shavings.
When Huntingdon frs; arrived at the prison he re-
marked in the presence of the Deputy Sheriff and
some of the officers, that he knew what the prison
regulations were and intended to obey them One
luxury he will be deprived Of, and that is tobacco
he has been in the habit of smoking fabulous num-
Der of cigars per diem, but the change will be likely
to prove beneficial to his health His constitution is
said to be much down and his countenance looks

o. We cannot now say whether we have mention
ed it, and we don't know whether it is worth men
tionng, but any rate it is emphatically stated as
fact that the Right Honorable Charles Pelham Vii
Iers, brother 10 the Earl of Clarendon, and one o.
her Msesty- privy councillors, has received the ap
pointment of minister plenipotenary to the United
States, and may soon be expected here.
Mr. Vlliers is man of very fair sense, SO the
newspapers say, but awfuly lazy and afraid of any
sort of trouble or inconvenlent circumstance. We
presume he will get along. He is about sixty, hall
dandy and half bon virant, but both in somewhat
careless sort.
So Mr.. John Bull scenes 10 have lowered his horns
somewhat since it was given out that no minister
would be appointed to take the place of the great
dsmissed-Mr. Champion None was to be appoint
ed during this administration-eertGtn But We
change our notions at times.

9c The Fayetteville Observer OF yesterday CIhurs-
day) refers at some length to article of Tuesday
last headed " Coal and Iron," in which refer 10
the necessity of opening available avenues to mar
ket in order to render available the mineral treasures
O fthe State The remarks of the Observer are char
acterized by a spirit of kindness and moderation
which we are please to and acknowledge, and
which we trust will hereafter prevail! in any discus.
sion connected with this matter, which may incden-
tally spring up between the press or the people of
Fayetteville and Wilmington.
The Observer differs from us in prefsrring the road
to the river-thinks that road TO carry the coal
from the mines to the present head of navigation on
she Cape Fear ought now to have the preference,
and that if either that the river improvement is TO
be deferred, the latter ought 10 wait. Such we take
TO be The meaning of the article.
Now, in the first place. so far as the road and the
river to be compared avenues for the coal trade
we would merely remark that of those who have &C.
tually gone into the business of getting out coal
have invested capital and erected machinery for that
purpose, all with whom we have talked, think the
river practicable and if they get ii, look TO it
the most economical route. They have looked al the
matter closely, anL still look anxously TO the river.
Again. there is an additional reason, think, why,
If postponement of either must come, the River I'M
proVement ought not to be postponed. 1t cannot be
stopped now and taken up again at some future time
at anything like the leaving off point If stopped in its
present unfinished state all that has been done and
expended must virtually 60 by the board
Now in regard to the Schuylkill Navigation and
the Reading Road we have this to say. The naviga
ton, which partly slack water and partly canal is
each year gaining on the road, which for less than
one hundred miles has cost about twenty five millions
of dollars. The canal has obstacles which ours has
rot. The road has no! inch of grade 10 overcome
i n the direction Of freight. Our road would have
many feet TO the mile.
AS 10 the cost 1t will be found that the $780,.
go spoken of by the Observer will not build the
railroad Did not the arrangement with Silas Sey-
mouf & Co. contemplate an expenditure of nearly
half million in excess of this sum?
