THE ATLANTIC AND N. c. RAnRoAD.-The length
of this Road from Goldsboro' to Newbern, il 60
miles. 1t passes through level country, and
should think very poor one, so far as agriculture
is concerned. There are spots Of good land, but
the general character Of the soil along the road looks
unproductive and unnviting. We do not mean that
all the land east of Goldsboro is poor and barren,
but We speak Of that along the Railroad track
We know that there some of the best farms OF
the State in the East The Road is we'll built, and
no doubt will prove of great convenience to the peo
pie Of that section. 1t cost much per mile If not
little more, as the North Carolina Railroad, fact
We were surprised to learn, considering the level
character Of the country. The President Mr..
Whitford, is an energetic officer, and from what We
could see we think he manages the work as well as
it could be done.
The good citizens of Ncwbern expect to derive
great benefit from the work, and we sincerely hope
their expectations may be fully realized. but about
that we entertain fear and doubt. However. We
shall say nothing by way Of discouragement for if
their efforts not crowned with success, it will
not be for the want of exeriion and energy their

The CLAYTON. .BuLwER TREATY.--We copy from
the Boston Post the following just and sensible re.
marks in relation to the abrogatOn of the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty:
"THE CLAYTON AND BULwER TRATY.-President
Buchanan advised in his annual message 10 Congress,
the annuliing of :hc Clayton Bulwe- treaty; and
the this proposition is considered the sounder
do all parties regard it to be. This step is in accor-
dance with provision of the treaty itself; which is
the effect that peaceful abrogation can be mace
at any time after six months notice. This step is
now under advsement in Congress, and will un-
doubtedly meet with the prompt concurrence Of the
President
There was an infinite deal Of controversy, at the
beginning, about the meaning OF certain stipuations
in this treaty and relative to the under standing un-
der which both our senate and the British govern.
ment acted in ratying it. 1t is needless to 60 over
this point now but the great object of the treaty,
as understood by the United States. not accom-.
plisfed. A most significant note addressed by Lord
Palmerston to Abbot Lawrence, minister to Eng
land before the treaty made states precisely the
object that then in view, namely, that on her
part Great Britain did wish to occupy, colon.
ize, or hold dominion in any part Of Central Ameri
ca, and would so stipulate in treaty. There it is
in black and white Yet there is the fact, too pat
ent to all that Great Britain does to this day actual
" occupy colonize, and hold dominion great
portion Of Central America she has made the nep
colony Of the Bay Islands and she holds on to the
utterly contemplate old protectorate Of the Mosquito
Indians which is no more nor less than British au-
thority upheld by British power over wide portion

Hon. JoHN w. ELLIS ADDRESSING THE People
As will be seen, by the proceedings of Demo.
cratic meeting held in Rowan court House yester-
day, for which paper has been delayed some
hours, the Democracy of this county has fully or.
ganized for the campaign.
The Hon. j. w. Ellis, having been invited, by
Committee sent to wait upon him, to address his
fellow citizens conducted to the stand amidst the
must enthusiastic cheering. His off hand talk,
without previous preparation for such summons.
was, under the circumstances one Of the most
agreeable and effective speeches have ever heard.
His reference to his return to the political arena,
and the appropriate terms in which he expressed
his thanks to the people of Rowan for the uniform
kindness shown him here at his home, not only by
his political associates in time past, but by all par
ties, touched a responsive chord in every heart and
the neat and feeling compliment to the Judiciary, from
which he has just separated, equal in sentiment
and beauty of expression to anything of the kind
ever uttered in the State.
Not having intended to make a speech here at
this time he had not bis documents with him; but,
being led on by continued applause, he touched
several Of the prominent political questions now in
agitation; and all who had the pleasure to hear him
freely concede that let antagonism present itself in
what shape it may, Judge Ellis coolness hisperfect
familiarity with every political question now agita-
ting the public mind, and his acknowledged abili.
ties gracefully displayed in every expression, will
bring him off brilliant victor from every contest

= As we expected, Clingman has been appointed
Senator from North, Carolina. in place Of Biegs.
signed. This is the State which has been represen-
ted in the Senate by Mangnm and Badger, and Ora.
ham! Facilis descensu*.-Lynchdurg Virginian.
1t used to be fashionable with the Federaliss to
underrate Democratic statesmen and to assume that
Federal Whiggery embraced within its folds all the
talents and all the decency." That day, however,
has gone by; and it is only now and then that we
hear as from the Virginian, that leading Demo-
Gratis are not the equals in attainments of leading
Federalists. n
- We admit that Messrs. Biggs and Reid are not
such orators Mangum, nor such rhetoricans as
Badger; but in respect to Judgment and sound states
manship they will not suffer by comparison with
any former Senators from this State. Judge Man.
gum, respected and beloved by his neighbors, and
now near the grave, was man OF great power with
the masses in his day; but he was deficient in judg-
ment and in steadiness Of purpose. If he had run
well"-if he had adber,d to Andrew Jackson and
Democracy. and labored to improve his great natural
endowments as he might have done, there is no po-
sition in the Republic which he might not reason
ably have aspired Mr.. Badger is an able lawyer
and an accomplished rhetorcian !; but in this respect
he is superior to Robert Strange, former DEM
ocratic Senator, while in point of judgment, will,
and common sense he falls below Bedford Brown,
also former Democratic Senator, and Messrs. Bggs
and Reid. We look at things as they are, and not
as they have been represented by the Wing press
and by the fulsome batteries bestowed upon such
men as Mangum and Badger in former years. As
for Mr.. Graham, he has always been overrated. He
is good lawyer and an able man but he is neither
Webster, Gallatn, nor Clay. Much Of his sue
cess is due to the fact of his being member Of the
bar and to his prudence his selishness and steadi
ness fpurpose.
Thomas L. Clingman, recently appointed to sue
ceed Mr. Biggs, is statesman in the fullest sense OF
the word. He already possesses national reputa-
tion and is quite the equal in atanmens and abil'
ity of any member in either house of Congress from
Virginia or South. Carolina. We say Virginia and
South Carolina, because it is customary in certain
circles to claim a monopoly Of talent for these two
States over their Southern sisters. But the other
day, in the House of Representatives, Mr.. Bocock,
Virginia member in his eulogy on Senator Evans,
spoke of the great men of Carolina thus com
pletey ignoring the existence of North Carolina
The sneers of the Virginian are not in the best
taste and will not affect those at whom they are di
rected. If Mr.. Clngman belonged TO the opposition
and if he had been appointed by a Know Nothing
Governor, we should have had Communications from
the Virgin1an instead of remarks designed to dis
parage and underrate him.
