The Fayetteville Observer.

The Observer is mistaken in supposing that we took
its reference to the United States and to North Carolina
and to the rest of mankind to mean Wilmington. We
did no such thing did article in which we dis
sented from the Observers assertion that most of the old
line Wings who voted for Buchanan had passed through
the Know Nothing order, contain anything leading to
that inference We expressed our doubts generally and
remarked that here certainly the wholly differ
ent from what the Observer asserted it to be- and yet
believe that in this respect Wilmington is fair Illus
traton of the whole State AS to the three prominent
instances outside of Wilmington, cited by may be-
and perhaps are mistaken in one One of the gentlemen
referred to- may have gone slightly into the ORDER but
didn't stay there any time The Observer when
about our supposng the whole United States to mean
Wilmington should have recolected that so far from
this we ndividualzed no case at all in Wilmington
The Observer draws distinctions between what it calls
odd Line Wings" and other people where no practical
difference exists.
We turn to another matter The Observer kindly in
forms us that slavery is already excluded from Central
America. We thank it for its laudabe zeal for the
spread Of useful knowledge but confess that we gain
nothing by being informed of fact with which nearly
every person is already familiar. But who spposes for
moment that the position of Central America is fixed
or Its laws reverSabe or Its population sufficient either
in numbers energy to resist any outside American
influence brought to bear upon them with any consider
able forcep Who doubts that if Americanised from the
southern portions Of this confederacy in the natural
course of events, it would become country of kindred
institutions; OF, on the other hand, if Eli Thayersed
that it would be permanently abolitionzed. Walker
did introduce slavery by law into Nicaragua, and only
the want of men prevented his keeping it there as the
southern and southwestern settlers did in Texas Dor
ton of Mexico, country in which the Job of aboiton
zing had been done quite as effectuaTy as in Central
America

What is to be done about it? Is the celebration to
be abandoned Or is it to be kept up? These are the
questions which it is full time to ask and answer
Barely month-hardly that, indeed remains between
the date of the present writing and the anniversary of
the battle The times are hard, to be sure, but they
ought not to be allowed to freeze out movement begun
and kept up so far with much spirit Who has the
matter INLAND? Who constitute the Committee? What
steps have been taken to be taken? Let us de-
eide at once for if anything is to be done there is surely
no time to be lost.
The urgency of the occasion must excuse the urgent
tone of our remarks. Fortunately the special term OF
our Superior Court has brought good many citizens
of the county into town. and thus offers an opportu-
nifty for consultation We respectfully suggest that his
Honor the Mayor call meeting of the citizens of town
at the Court House tomorrow, Friday evening, the
29h inst and that all citizens of this and the neghbor
ING counties now in Wilmington be requested to attend
and particpate-be invited to lend the aid of their
sci and assistance The call will be somewhat hurried
but the opportunity favorable, and there no time to
be lost in coming to decision one way or the other
We would have stirred up the matter sooner but that
we much preferred to have the proceed from some
other quarter. As it is we offer suggestion fol
what it is worth We ask that it may be promptly con
sidered. The time is rery short. The anniversary is
near at hand-Da7y Journal 28th inst.

LARGE YIELD OF CoRN--We notice in the Clinton
Independent of the 10Th nst that Mr. Everett Peter
son. of Sampson county, raised upon one acre of land
last year. eighty bushels Of Corn. Mr. p reported the
following plan of cultivation, which produced this large
yeild to the Sampson county Agricultural Fair:
The land was coarse sandy soil Of buesh gray
color. beaded it up by throwing five burrows together
four feet and half apart, about the first of April
opened the beds two burrows deep and put three hun
dred lbs of guano in the burrows and covered it two
inches Deep planted the eighteen inches part
The kind Of planted was large variegaed corn.
After it planted the bar of the plough next to
the corn then took mixture of barn yard and stable
manure of very rough quality and strewed it in the
burrows lightly, about enough to the bottom Of
each urrow then turned the wing of the plough to
the and covered the up Immediately 1t was
poughed and hoed three times and gathered about the
first of October All of which is respectfully submitted
with one bushel of the corn as sample.

"WnMINGToNIANs ROBBED AT FERNANDINA."-An
item with this caption is going the rounds Of the papers.
We happy to say that ofour citizens were rob-
bed at Fernandna. We understand that the two young
who represented themselves to have been robbed of
ten thousand dollars at Fernandna Florida got board
the steamer Carolina at Smithvle on the trip of that
boat from Wilmington to Fernandna, about the 18th
Or 18th of the present month They gave their names
as Harper, and stated that they came from Robson
county, about fifteen miles from Whitevile, the county
of Columbus We have heard details of the circunl-
stances, and of the which induced suspicion to
attach to some parties whose do not recoect
but the main cause that of the suspected parties
had offered to pass counterfeit money board the boat
There is something strange about the whole affair, so
much so, that some persons fully cognzant of all the
attendant circumstances entertain doubts on the subject
-of this we cannot pretend to speak, and, indeed VIC
have heard of no object the young could have had
representing themselves robbed if they had not been So

Bs~Surely Kansas and Kansas affairs have given oc-
casion more lies and false statements than any terrific
~ or population of the size number in the world
1t is impossible place any sort Of
reliance upon any account from that section. The ST.
Louis Democrat Free Soil organ, is the great vehicle
of these false statements 1t is upon its asserted ntOr
nation that nearly all the Geographic items in relation
to Kansas based. The people i'll the States have
been agitated with of blood and battle in Kansas
of which the inhabitants Of the territory heard first
through the press of some of the States.
The latest fuss is about the election held on the
4th instant for members of the Legislature and State
officers in pursuance of the Lecompton Convention.
Some days ago, the st. Louis Democrat stated upon
the authority Of Gov. Denver, that that election had
gone for the Free SOers That they had elected their
State officers and a majority of both houses. The
Washington Star and the ST. Louis Republican, both
contradict this upon information later than that pur
porting to have been received by the Democrat The
DemOcrats-the friends of the Lecompton Convention
have carried the election for State officers and secured
majority in one house and tied the other. There
many Southern men, and ourselves among the number,
who entertain but slight hopes of Kansas being in
effect slave State, who would still rejoice at the

BSHSince it has been recommended to establish
National Foundry, it is perfectly remarkable the num-
bur Of eligible sites for such purpose that the ingenuity OF
members and Senators has discovered Nearly every
State has some dearest spot earth to propose
precisely the place contemplated by nature ex-
presy meet the demand which the aforesaid provdent
dame Madam Nature foresaw would exist. If it were
possible for State to be erected the top of the high
est pinnacle of the Rocky Mountains it is perfectly GER
tain that the delegation representing that exalted sover
eighty would find most eligible site for a National
Foundry-with fine fall Of water-from the clouds
and every facility for getting things off, since it would be
down-hl any way you might want to 60.
Among the sites proposed, no doubt some of them
will be recommended very superior although in truth,
possessing no claims Of more practical value than those
have alluded to and perchance, of these very
sites may be chosen We that notice has been given
of the intention to introduce bills into both houses for
the establishment of National Foundry in Deep River
Valley This location has only the advantages of climate,
SOIL mineral wealth, fuel, waterpower, and means OF
conveyance with excellent building materials and per-
feet security from foreign attack Bm-but it is in
North Carolina and will be overlooked for some point
without one-half of its advantages.
There is a Pacific Railroad spirit in Congress. We
ought not to be dependent upon passage through for
eign territory for the means of easy and rapid commun
cation between the Atlantic and Pacific members of
confederacy We ought to have road to carry military
aid to the Pacific in case of instruction invasion
therefore, say the advocates of Pacific Road, Congress
ought give lands money something else to build OF
help to build Railroad from some point in the Misss
sippi Valley to the shores of the Pacific
There arc plausible arguments made in favor OF this
project 1t is urged being necessary, expedient and
constitutional We admit that it is desirable to have
the different portions of the Union connected together
by routes within the national territory but do not
admit that the presumed military necessity amounts to
railroad to be built by Uncle Sam.
Upon the whole there appears to be a majority il
Congress in favor of Pacific Railroad but uhich p
There are northern, middle southern and intermediate
routes. The valley Of the Mississippi extends from the
vicinity of the great lakes down to the Cult of Mexico
The Pacific coast of the United States stretches through
seventeen degrees of lattudes commencing at 40 anc
running down to 30 degrees North. The Rocky Noun
tais with their several passes stretch between From
which point the Mississippi shall the road start ??
What country shall it traverse? Through what pas
shall it run? At what point the Pacific shall it ermi
nate? Where the friends of the road, of some road
find it impossible to agree upon route, think thu
prospect Of any road is rather dubious.
