A VERY IMPORTANT MovENENT-We understand
that during the late Session of Congress resolution
introduced in the Senate of Mr.. Mallory of Flor
ida Chairman Of the Naval Committee passed that
body directing the Secretary of the Navy to appoint
a Commission to proceed to the Deep River Mineral
region Of this State to make examination Of the
COAL ron and timber of that country and select the
proper site for the establishment in North Carolina
Of extensive Naval Shops suitable for the rnanufac-
ture of Engines for War Steamers, and other requis
ties for that important of the national defence.
1t is manifested that offensive and defensive ope-
rations the are hereafter to be carried by
steam vessels instead of sailing vessels hereto

whilst the United States build three ships to
Of any other nation, we cannot furnish one steam
engine for such ship to three that England can
supply. She has iron establishments on the most
extensive scale. We are deficient in them. And it
is the object of the Naval Committee, with the ap-
probation of the Administration, to provide shops
which can be controlled by the government, which
will furnish the required material; aud to locate
the shops as to be secure from danger from ene-
N.Y. at the time that they convenient Of ac-

this 1t lacks now only the completion of the Rail-
road from this place, and Of another to the North
Carolina road to put that locality in easy and rapid
connection with any part of the country, especially
with those important Naval Stations, Norfolk the
North and Port Royal on the South.
The location of such works as that above mention
ed, and in all probability of the National Foundry
likewise. in this part of North Carolina, would force
the completion of all projected works of connec
ton with Deep River.
1t is understood that the Secretary Of the Navy
has appointed that distinguished scientific officer.

A New DoDGE-To place oneself in hostility to
the Administration, then complain about being read
out of the party!
No one is ever read out Of the Democratic party
until he puts himself without the pale of its organ
zation. There has been difference Of opinion in
the party as TO the principle involved in this Kansas
question: but quite difference to who should be
the leaders of the party Nine hundred and ninety
nine in every thousand said Mr.. Buchanan-one in a
thousand said somebody else, and thought it very
hard that they amid their thirteen members OF the
House of Representatives and three Senators, could
not control the others 1t will not do to talk about
divisions in the party while holding such position
and those who wish to fight their own battles on
that PLATFORM will hardly reach the goal they aim at

The senior Editor of the Standard acknowledges
the receipt of Circular addressed by Linn B. San

Beware of Know Nothing Plots!

A correspondent of the Western Sentinel has in
formed that paper of Know Nothing plot in Surry
County the object of which is by secret concert, to
eject K n. to the Legislature from that County.
There are two candidates fer the Commons in Sur
ry-R E. Reeves, ESQ, the old member. and IL. NJ
Waugh The Know Nothngs it is said, have held
private meetings and determined to cast their votes
for Mr.. Columbus Hampton, hoping thereby to
elect him over Messrs. Reeves and Waugh.
Mr.. Reeves is the regular Democratic candidate; !;
and MIR. Waugh, his opponent is said to be Dis
tribution,st. We concur with the Sentinel in say
ing
Remember, that to get up dissensons in our
ranks is the universal plan adopted by our enemies
to defeat us! and that whoever suffers himself in
any way, to be made disorganger acts with the
opposition and is the enemy to the best interests OF
the party. Our past prosperity and success, as q
party has been due to strict organization, and
without it in future matter how pure our prncI-
ples no matter how important and essential their
maintenance to the welfare Of the country, they
must fail. Has any dsorganizing Democrat counted
the of the defeat of the party, even in single
county? If not let him begin to calculate before he
lends his influence to the foe"
We trust that the Democracy of Surry will rally
as one man to Mr.. Reeves. He is capable and faith
full. Though young man. he took prominen,
position in the last House. and general attention
and respect by his ability and by his frank and fear
less bearing Surry has never had truer or better
Representative than r. E. Reeves.

Bear iE mind that Mr. McRae, while in the East,
against any further State debt, and any further
internal improvements; and that Mr.. McRae who
is now in the West, proclaims himself as good
Railroad man as Judge Ellis. Either the East or
the West is to be deceived by Mr.. McRae; though
he says We understand that he has not changed his
position.
Bear in mind, also, that the Raleigh Register,
which devoted column after column while Mr.. Nc.
Rae in the East to denunciations of State debt
and high taxes, and which appeared to be SO alarm
ed at the prospect of tunneling the mountains, is
noao silent as to Mr.. McRae's position, has no ac-
counts of his speeches, and refuses to state the
ground he occupies in this respect.
A deep game is being played on this question by
tie Know Nothings. Let our Democratic friends
be on the alert and place the facts before the peo-
De.

they do not see how to use it to advantage.

"TuE MISERY OF THE THING."-A Petersburger,

which you can enter and enjoy yourself as well as
YOU can, considering the warmth and shallowness
Of the water Hard by, another stockade is erected
for the ladies. This is the misery of the thing A
few PAGES off you hear the most delightful shrieks
and screams and the most musical laughter. You
know that fun is going on. But where you are.
there is naught save melancholy "sloshing around"
Of bilious and hdeous males. The contrast between
the two stockades-the fun, the frolc, and the fe-
males in the one, and the dull masculine splashing
in the other-is horrid, horrid."

Linn b. Sanders Votes to create Taxes, and
then refuses to lay them.
It is we'll known that Mr.. Linn B. Sanders, who
is an independent opposition candidate for the
Commons in Johnston County, voted in ls4s for the
Central Railroad charter, which contained State
appropriation of two millions of dollars for that Road
and also appropriations of forty thousand dollars
each. we believe for Neuse and Tau rivers. This
vote may be found in House journal, session Of
1s4s-'9, on the 7O7th page, the name of Mr. San
ders being recorded for the bill.
Mr. Sanders is therefore, resi- oasble with others,
for over two millions of the public debt; yet at the
last session of the Assembly he voted against bill
10 raise the necessary revenue to pay the interest on
this debt [See Senate journal 1867, page 2l5.]
What will the honest people of Johnston County
think of that? If Mr.. Sanders had voted against
this debt or even if he had been opposed to it, th,ie
w d ha We been some show of excuse Tor his conis
bat such is not the He voted TO create taxes,
and them refused to lay them. And not only this,
he now clamors against taxes, and would hold up to
public censure all those who showed their willing
ness by their voes to pay the interest on the very
debts which he had created.
Again: Five hundred thousand dollars of the
nnb,ic debt will fall due the 1st of Janury, 1860
This debt was incurred in 1889 on account OF the
Raleigh and CASTOR Road Will Mr.. Sanders have
the candor while he is denouncing taxes, to inform
the people Of Johnston that this debt was incurred
by the old Wing party-thc very party with when
| he is now actng2 Will he do that! VIII ne place
the responsibility on the right shoulders? We pre-
dict he will not for the that he might lose
| votes by it.
