say~ We had determined to have nothing more
to say for the present about the Hon. John A.
Gimer, believing that he had been fully convicted
of having pursued dangerous course and of hay
ing acted imprudently during the late session Of
Congress; but letter from friend in Randoll h
county induces us to make few further remarks
on the subject Some weeks ago we stated that
there was good reason for believing that Mr. Gil
mer had franked the speeches of aboltionsts to
his constituents. A gentleman in Randolph has
forwarded us three speeches sent to that county
by Mr. Gilmer, being those Of Messrs Burlincame
of Mass, Campbell of Ohio, and PARROT of Kan
sas all abolitorists. Our correspondent says that
Mr. Gilmer sent a whole package of these speeches
to person in that county for distribution, frank
ing them with his own signature. We have one
of the envelopes with Mr. G.'s frank upon it.
1t is unnecessary for us to say more than to state
the facts as they are. We leave the matter to be
settled between Mr. Gilmer and his constituents,
merely remarking that he is not the Kind of a
man to represent the South in Congress at such a
time as this We never have called Mr. Gilmer a
traitor, and are not disposed to do so now; but
we must say that he has acted very strangely, and
ought to be kept at home for fear he may do mis-
echief -

Haywood Chatham county, is very bad off for
somebody to notice him, see he has publish
ed rurile letter in the Raleigh Register directed
to the Hon. i. OBJ. Branch, member of Congress
from the Raleigh District. Probably he wants the
President to turn him out; but we hope he will be
let alone and made to attend to his own business
and to let other peoples alone If he should hap
pen to be turned out, what howl would be heard
about martyrs &c. Do not make a St. Stephen

RESIGNATION OF JUDGE PERsoN.-The Stand
ard says that the Hon. Saml j. Person, of Will
mington, has sent in his resignation to Gov. Bragg
as Judge of the Superior Courts of Law and
Equity. Judge Person, though young man, has
established high reputation as jurist, and has
served the State most acceptably and faithfully
the bench. He retires with view of devoting
himself to his profession. His absence from the
bench will be felt, and it will be easy matter to
supply his place.
Gov. Bragg has summoned the Council of State
to meet in Raleigh on the 28th of next month, to
fill the vacancies occasoned by the designations of
Judges Person and Ellis.

A New RAILROAD PRoJECT.-A large meeting
of the citizens of Granville and Warren counties
has been held near Rdgeway on the Raleigh and
CASTOR Railroad to take into consideration the
proprety of extending the Roanoke Valley Rail-
road from Clarksville, Va, to keysvllc, n. c.,
running through Granville and Warren, and thus
secure a connection with Richmond over the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad The length of the
Road to be built is said to be % miles, and to cost
$4,000 We notice that some dissatisfaction
with the high freights the Raleigh and CASTOR
Road has been expressed, and this appears to be
ole the main reason for proposing this connect
ing link. Some of the speakers at the meeting
said that this Road, if built, would prevent the
Greensboro and Danvle connection. The promi-
nent speaker was Mr. Woods Of Clarksvile, Va.
They actually talked about the proposed road from
Greensboro, n. c.. to Danvie, Va, I'M uring the
interests Of North Carolina, while in the same
breath advocating a scheme to the trade from
this State to Richmond doing what they pretend
ed to be afraid the Danvlle connection would
do -! Al

Hon WARREN WINsLow.-We have received
from MIR Winslow copy of his speech delivered
In the House of Representatives on the 3lst May,
on the Arrest OF Walker and Central American
affairs. Mr. w. is opposed to flibustcring and
thinks the President did right in using all proper
Means to prevent such exf editions, but he takes
the ground that Com. Paulding did wrong and OK
eeeded his instructions in arresting Walker in
Nicaragua. The speech bears the mark of decided
ability, which MIR. WinslOw possesses in an emf
hent degree

Politics in this county are right. Ellis will
