ONsLow COUNTY, N. c., Oct. 29th 1853
MEssRs. Fulton & PR1CE-Genttemlen: Sometime
in May last wrote short piece, which you did the
favor to publish in your valuable Weekly suggesting to
the people of Onslow the proprety of taking steps to
secure steamboat connection between the navigabe
points on New River-say Tar Landing, Jacksonville,
&c-and Wilmington or Beaufort, and called upon the
people of Wilmington to lend helping hand, pro-
vided they wanted naval stores corn bacon pork
Chickens eggs, &c. and, may add oysters and fish,
for am told that oysters and fresh fish are often hauled
in carts and wagons at heavy expense from New
River to Wilmington. Why not have Steamboat,
and carry every thing of the sort around in double quick
time and at less expense? Is it possible that we are to
the river and allow ourselves to continue to be subjected
to the slowmotion, unsettled tardy and uncertain way
we have of receiving goods and shipping produce from
and on New River? | think the day will come when q
Steamboat will up New River and the sooner the
better. There is nothing like trial. Can't of the
Cape Fear boats be prevailed upon to make trial
trip? If one will and will give fair notice. think
can assure a load IF the Cape Fear boats will not
come trial trip, cannot Mr. A. Ell. VanBokkelen be
prevailed upon to send his boat around and up the
river rip Give the Onslow people fair notice that
Steamboat will be dispatched from Wilmington on
certain day, bound around to New River and far up
Tar Landing and my word for it, freight will be put
on her in Wilmington and load secured for her on her
return trip besides will receive her with little io
fcaton and the Captain is young man and fond OF
music and the company of the ladies, we will promise
him sotree, porte, jollifcation, jubation and
wind up by firing big gun or two So mote it be

Should the above fall slborn then and in that case
the next step to be taken is to hold meeting in our
County form Company, secure the stock and build a
boat expressly for New River This is subject which
ought to command attention. it is one in which every
person in Onslow, who has suffered the writer has in
consequence of long delays in receiving goods and ship

Monday last that the trial of the negro woman Lucy
Ann for the murder of Mrs. Annce Taylor, resulted
last Saturday evening in verdict of not guilty.
This was in accordance with the general impression of
what the verdict must be from the evidence and the
charge of His Honor. We notice this matter now
mainly for tue information of our weekly readers.

PAY OF DISTRICT ATToRNEYs.-The Attorney Gene
raj has, at the request Of the Secretary of the Interior
given an opinion in reference to the pay allowed by law
to District Attorneys 1t is held that the Act of Feb
ruay g. 1858, admit of but one construction The
services of District Attorney in the examination of
persons charged with crime to be paid by the day.
and not to receive compensation for each separate
case. No matter how many cases he may examine in
one day. his pay must be but five dollars for the day
services
In many cases persons charged with crime are arres
ted in localities where there is neither Judge nor
United States commissioner and where the examination
must be had before some other magistrate The law
can scarcely intend in the opinion of the Attorney Gen
era that the District Attorney shall make such an ex
animation without being paid. A fair construction of
the fee bill entities him to his per de without regard
to the particular title by which the judicial officer before
whom the examination is had may be known or called
if he be Of competent authority.
The same principles apply in the per diem allowance
to marshals.

The New York Tribune, on the Pennsylvania E1ec


" Let us not misstate overstate this triumph
The republicans have nobly contributed to it, but they
have not alone achieved it. The great body of the
Americans have heartily cooperated with Them and the
elaborate attempt to draw off votes On straight Ameri

the tricks OF demagogues bought and owned by the COM

" But the republicans and Americans united could
not have so sweeping victory without the pow

Accidental Shooting.

On Saturday last, while two gentlemen Messers Thomas
Thompson and Verbin Castlebury, residing near Hay
in this county, about Ii miles from Raleigh, were out
turkey hunting the former was accidenty shot by the
latter. Our informant states that Mr.. Thompson had
shot and killed turkey, and was dragging it along

to what he supposed another turkey. The yepns'

fan the fact that theiianeia year about clo-

IF Trade and travel edf lines through North Carolina
had further difficulty to meet, arising out OF the
failure to maintain through ticket The stumbling
block in this case has been presented by the companies
owning or operating the lines of Railroad running thro
the State of Virginia What or have been the mo-
tves from which the controlling spirit IN these lines mas
acted we do not pretend to say 1t is certain, however
that the game has been pretty much blocked against our
Road at Weldon unless by submitting to terms that
could not fairly be submitted to. There can be little
question of the fact that this trouble about through
has lost the road thousands upon thousands
of dollars
It is more than probable that matter bearing upon
and calculated to affect the Northern connections OF the
Road will be brought to the attention of the stockhod
ers at their approaching meeting at any rate, we have
heard discussed and have ourselves already referred to
it, we think. We allude to an arrangement by which
the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Company can OBJ
tain the control of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad
and thus have the arrangement of through ticket al

TERMS part of said stock being preferred per cent
stock, and the balance common stock by working the
two Roads together, and establishing mutuallty
interests it is believed that the value of the Investment
in both will be largely enhancedthat indeed the STOCK
of both cannot fail to pay at least eight per cent
How the means are to be raised to make the proposed
purchase is another question: and one which will requr
more careful examination than we prepared to be
stow upon it to-day in the brief limits of newspaper
article Our main object has been to draw the atten
ton of stockholders to the subject, in view Of the ap
preaching meeting the 18th, so that they may hav
time to think about the matter and act upon it under
standngly, if it should happen to be preached.

The Elections.

New YoRK.-The elections in New York, on Tues
day. were for Members of Congress- Governor and other
State officers 1t is very probable that the Republicans
have elected Morgan their candidate for Governor and
majority of all the Congressman although we do not
think that anything be regarded as certain STILL the
chances are that we pretty badly beaten The vote
in the City of New York stands, Parker, Dem, for
Governor, 4O88l; Morgan, Rep. 2l,766; Burrows
Am, 6,947 Gerritt Smith, 63.
Hon. John Kelly has been elected Sheriff of n. ork
by large majority. Fat Office. There row in
the first ward of the City.
MAssAcHUsErTs.-The Republicans usual, have
carried everything electing their Governor, all other
State officers members of the State Legislature and Of
Congress, and had votes to spare.
DELAwARE.-The " Peoples" ticket received ma
jority of lao in Wilmington 1t is quite probable that
the Democrats have carried the State.
New JERsEY-The vote was for Congress, the State
Legislature and local officers. There would appear te
have been an opposition gain
Upon the whole the Democrats have rather suffered
in the recent elections at the North. We have nothing

contest between Douglas and Lincoln the two promi

The object of the canvass made by Douglas and Lin

literally and long, to be the great medium of success in
business and prelude to wealth. And have made it
an nvarabe rule too, to advertise in the dulest times

is well laid out as by keeping my business continually
before the public it has secured many sales that
would otherwise have lost-STEPHEN G1RARD
Some people, however, by their conduct, appear to
think that Stephen Girard didn't know how to make
fortune, and think there's use putting everything
into the papers that their stores are enough known
already and these people will continue to iog along at
snails pace and are soon dstaneed by their compet
tors There is skill in advertising as in everything else
Advertisements should be changed often and their pbra-

The SOLDIER AND THE ScHooLMAsrER.-The Paris
correspondent of the New York Times gives the follow
ing statements in relation to public education in France
The Presse OF last evening contains chapter of sta
tistcs on the public schools of France which is positive
ly astounding in the facts it discloses Look
for moment at the following astonishing figures and
you will comprehend the whole subject The national
appropriations made for the year 1859 are for the War
Department. 345,O0O,O00 francs for Primary Educa-
ton, 100000. The City of New York alone allows
100000 francs yearly for its Public Schools and vet
New ork does not contain population of over 70O-
900 souls against population in France of Sc 100000
The whole voted for the budget of 1859 for public
education 100000 francs, of which, l4O6O 900
to be devoted to superior education the colleges of
letters arts, and Sciences and 100000 as above sta
ted, to common schools. The Minister of Public JUS
tice Courts Prisons and Penal Coonies has an allow
ance OF 20OOO0OO, than the sum allowed to both
superior and primary education and yet is one of the
commonest facts in political economy that crime dimn
lshes in exact ratio with the increase of education
From which it follows that France not vet penetrated
with the knowledge that they can save money to the
treasury, to say nothing about public morality bv nut
ting more money into common schools and less into
prisons and law courts. But this figure of 5000 O0l
for primary education only stands out in proper relief
when compared to that voted for the army OOO
still more prominent relief may be given to If nv
comparison with the United States Let the SIMS vo
ted by all the States of the Union for common schools
be added up and placed alongside the armv budget of
the French Government and the condition of France
the most civilized nation in the world" will be shown
up in most awkward position in comparison to it's
pretensons.
