NATIONAL FOUNDRY.

The Committee on Military Affairs in the House
have referred 70 the Hon. Chas j. Faulkner, of
Va, all the memorials, &C., relative TO the estab-
lishment of National Foundry, with view to a
full and elaborate report upon the same at the next
session Of Congress. This is subject of vast i'm
portance, and requires critical and careful ex-
animation, which it will undoubtedly receive.
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland, all have a
deep interest in this matter He intends to report
Immediately on the assembling OF Congress-Pst-
ersJurg Express
And we viii add that North Carolina has deep
interest in the matter also We cannot understand
by what authority the whole matter referred
to single individual and he an interested party.
Virginia is an applicant for the Foundry to be
located within her borders, and it strikes US as
highly improper to leave the matter to be reported
by member of Congress from that State, or even
by any other one individual
A writer in the Wilmington Herald says that
Mr. Faulkner is only to "report OH the policy of
establishing national Foundry" and has nothing
to do with the selection of site. Why, then, were
the memorials referred to him, asking that the
Foundry be located at a particular place.

De CAREFUL WHAT YoU Wharf.-The Fir-
ginia democratic papers have been talking about
nominating the Hon. John Letcher for Governor
OF that State; but the Richmond Wing has caused
some sensation by producing letter signed by Mr.
Letcher in 1917, endorsing abolition speech de-
hvered in Lexington, Va, by the Rev. Henry
Rufiner in favor of removing the negro population
from Western Virginia. The Wing gives extracts
from the speech, and the Enquirer (democratic)
says that if these extracts are fair index of the
speech it will never do to nominate Mr. Letcher for
Governor. The Richmond South is for excusng
Mr. Letcher, and speaks of the letter as an 'indis
eretion" and "a mere formal act of courtesy to a
clergyman for literary effort in Mr. Letchers own
village But the Enquirer thinks such an excuse
will not answer, and calls for the publication of
everything connected with the matter.
Mr. Letcher has represented his District in
Congress for several years, voting and acting with
the South, and never doing anything to cause sus-
picion; but old documents, sometimes, play the
mischief with some men. Therefore, be careful
what you write!

THE MILITARY INSTITUTE.

We learn that the contract for building the
Military Institute in Charlotte has been awarded
70 Jonas Rudasill and Tay lor 4 Allison-the for
NOR to do the woodwork and the latter the brick
work; the whole to be superintendent by Sydney
Reading. The building is to be of brick, 270 feet
long, with three towers, the centre one to be four
stories high, wings three stories. The style adopt
oil IS the Gothic Castle, and will make quite i'm
nosing appearance The services of distinguished
Gentleman, graduate Of West Point, have been
secured to take charge of the Institution when
completcd and under his management it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that complete success will crown
the enterprise.
Those gentlemen who originated and pushed
forward the scheme arc entitled to much credit
for energy and zeal in the effort to build up an
institution of the kind here and thus benefit the
community.

B&F When the Gubernatorial campaign first
opened, the Fayetteville Observer Gan old-line
whig paper) announced its determination to sup
port Mr. McRae, but the course of that gentleman
in regard to internal improvements is so objection
able the Editors of the Observer that they have
concluded to withdraw their support and remain
neutral in the contest We extract from the OBJ
server of the 2lst as follows:
"When we heard that Mr. McRae would be a
candidate, We did not wait for full exposition of
his views. lie was our townsman, a man of deci-
ded ability, in favor of distribution, and also in
favor of the greatest State work in progress,
and now struggling manfully without State aid.
We could not but prefer him, democrat as he is,
to his competitor, with whom have nothing in
common except that he favors Internal improve
ments
We could have stood Mr. McRae's impracticable
scheme Of aid to the Western road, for we feel as
sured that he is sincere in it. But We could not
stand his poisoning the public mind 1--WE the
term in offensive sense) by eloquent appeals
against State aid aud Notwithstanding, of course,
full stop to our system, for nothing can be done
-(cxcepting, as we hope, the Western railroad -
without State aid. We therefore, some weeks ago,
came to the determination to stand neutral In
this contest. But, whilst we felt it due to Mr.
from bis views, we did not mean to say any thing
about it publicly. We now do so only because we
are freely mentioned in some quarters as his sup
porters, and it is reported that MIR McRae himself,
in one of his speeches, spoke of as Judge Ellis
organ. If he did 50, he is greatly mistaken. The
only thing that have done that has the remotest
bearing that way, was to give brief but faithful
account of his speech here-an account which we
>are assured Judge Ellis has repeatedly and uni
formly admitted to be correct-but which was
written and published without the remotest knowl-
edge of its contents by the Judge, whom we did
not see nor hear from after he spoke, and with
whom we had no conversation on the subject
before.
We hope we shall not be quoted hereafter as
for either of the candidates. 1t has been and will
be our endeavor to keep readers fully and ac-
curately informed all points of interest they
occur We have avoided, we hope and believe,
injustice to either candidate"
