The ARsENAL-In the Senate proceedings of
Thursday last we find the following:
On motion by Mr.. Biggs,
Resolred, That the Secretary of War be requested
to communicate to the Senate the present condition
of the United States Arsenal at Fayetteville North
Carolina, and whether the building shops, and ma
chnery are sufficiently completed for the constrnc-
ton Of material and munitions of war, and what
appropriation, if any, is necessary to put the same
in operation arsenal of construction upon the
original plan adopted by Congress.
We are glad to see this movement.
In walk through the very extensive Arsenal
buildings few days ago, we saw vast quantity OF
machinery lately purchased by Major Laidey under
the act of the last Congress. Workmen were busi-
ly engaged in putting it up. Among the articles are
some heretofore known in this part of the coun

supplied by machinery, through pipes under the

will be. Congress has invested a quarter OF a mil

MEssRs EDITORS morning walk recent
ly, we were surprised and gratiied to see so many
evidences of enterprise and industry in the Western
Ward of our City. We were particularly attracted
by the very handsome house, now nearly completed,
citizens, Dabney Cosby, Esq. Rather than have
his hands remain idle Mr.. Cosby put up this dwell
ling and improved his lot. There is a half acre of
ground attached, a well of excellent water, so ar.
ranged that water be conducted to all parts OF
the house; and the house itself is built Of BRICK
with eight rooms with fre-places, dressing closets,
&c. and everys yshing most conveniently arranged
1t is situated in the rear of MI. Cosbys residence,
and is near the Presbyterian Parsonage. The stuc.
Going of the building is Of superior and durable
order, Mr.. Cosby being the best workman in that
line in the whole country. learned that the place
was for sale, and was almost inclined to envy the
one who should be the purchaser. Call and see it.

~ We learn that at the late examination Of
candidates for appointments Of physicians and sur.
geons to Bellevue Hospital, New York, Dr. Stuart
White. of this city, was appointed as surgeon, and
DR.. Jno. Jones' of Greene Co., N. c., as physician.
These young gentlemen, we learn, were the only
candidates from the South who were successful in
their examinations. The position they have won is
always eagerly sought and is justly regarded as
high evidence of proficiency in the profession. The
mere announcement of their success which we
make with pleasure, carries with it the most crafty
ing commentator. They North Carolinians
and we are always glad to see the sons of the old
State foremost in the race for distinction.

w The New York Tribune publishes within
black lines those forty sterling and patriotic Demo-
Gratis from the free States in the senate and House,
who voted for Kansas with the Lecompton Consti-
tuition. To be consistent, the Tribune ought to
print in golden letters the of John A. Gilmer
and the five other Know Nothings from the Southern
States, who voted against Lecompton and with the
black Republicans. Every blow which the Tribune
and its allies deal upon true North carries with
it concentrations for Gilmer, Davis, Bell, Crtten-
den, and the other traitors.

ST. MARY's SCHOOL.

At the visitation of this School, on Easter Monday,
sixteen of the pupils confirmed by the Bishop
of the Diocese. On Easter Sunday, six were bap-
tised by the Rector.
On both these occasions the services were inter-
esting, solemn, and touching. Their effect was
heightened by the neatness and beauty of the Chapel
in which they were performed, by the tones of the
organ and the full burst of song and praise from
many we'll trained voices; by the Easter flowers
which graced the Altar and the font, and by the
simple and appropriate attire of white in which the
candidates were arrayed.

How ABoLIrIoNIsM IS TO BE KILLED.-A CORES
pondent of the Savannah Georgian makes the fol-
lowing suggestion:
"Should all the Southern States pass the same law
as Louisiana has passed. viz, all free persons of
color found in the State after January next are to be
sold into slavery, the North would be SO flooded with
negroes that abolitionism would expire in agony,
with disgust Let the press advocate the law in
this State, others will follow, and by doing so you
add negro paupers to the whites of the North, and
intict everlasting curse upon all Intermediates"

tW The following from the Lynehburg Viryin-

az The following from the Lynehburg Virgin-
iam Wing paper, is in gratifying contrast with the
course of the Register the subject:
This is a result which we shall regret-for we
have believed that Kansas is entitled to admission,
and that it would be of advantage to the South to
gain the recognition of precedent for the admission
OF State with slave constitution-we do not mean
slave State because Kansas is to all intents and
purposes, as anti slavery State Massachusetts,.
But her admission with constitution tolerating
slavery, would be rebuke and a defeat to those
who have rallied under the cry of " No more slave
States" We believe, moreover, that her Constitu-
ton was formed and created according to law. We
think, therefore, for the sake Of the precedent and
the sake of the principle, that Kansas should be ad
mited without condition or qualification. For this
reason, the Senate bill commends itself to our ap-
proval, while the Montgomery substitute does not
in that it operate delay of the settlement Of the
Question for several months longer. and, above all,
puts jeopardy the recognition Of the abstract right
which alone makes the Kansas bill valuable"
