"WORKING MAN.'-We find communication over
this signature in the Raleigh Press of last Saturday.
having reference to remarks of ours in reply to
former article from the same correspondent.
We should be greedy of praise indeed we failed to
be than satisfied with the too lavish terms of
mendation in which the writer so kind as speak of
ourselves and our humble efforts We only wish that
we deserved onehaf of the good things he says of
But appreciate such things for that in which their
real value consSts-the evidences they afford of kindly
consideration the part those who give them express
sion.
Having thus shown that we retain none but friendly
feelings towards the author of the communication signed
Working Man" we must be permitted to set him right
one or two points-perhaps should say set our
SelUes right He speaks of our known horror and alb
horrence of anything respecting the immediate purchase
of Cuba" Hon. known would puzzle US, at least, to
say There is person to whom it is moi known-the
present writer Again. he speaks of the eccentrcities
OF our course towards Mr. WinSlow and in favor of
convention Now these eccentricties were shared in
by all the other districts in the State and Mr. Crage
who was supposed to be an antconvention man, has
since come out in letter to the Charlotte Bulletin avow
ing his belief that the Democratic turnout IN his dis
trict was greatly diminished by the want of conven-
tlon IT our course was eccentric, we think it would
be hard to show it from the columns of the Journal-
However, there is of squabblng. Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof Let us all fight our oppo
nents and not our friends
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1859-10-14

81 On Saturday last we were pained to hear tina

IA On Saturday last We were pained to hear that
information had been received here of the DEATH in Cal
ifornia, of DR.. William D. Cowan native OF :" II
mngton where he leaves large circle OF relatives ano
connections and where his melancholy death is sincerely
regretted by the community.
We forebore aIuson to it then, hoping that there
might possibly be some mistake as we had not no1ceo
it in any Of exchanges but coming as the accounts
d. through so many different channels we are forced TO
acknowledge the correctness of the report
It is probable that the extract from Miraposa' Cal
ornia paper published in Saturdays Herald gives as
nearly accurate an account any that will be received
until the next arrival from the Pacific That account
saws that Dr. Cowan met distance from Mira
posa by party He was then on foot and stated that
something was the matter with his horse. The men
noticed something strange in bis appearance but not
being personally acquainted with him did not think
much of it, Farther on they found bis horse on the
trail or path together with his coat and some papers
They arrived at Miaposa on Sunday-on Monday and
Tuesday some uneasness began to be felt and on We'd
nesday search was made-on Saturday the Doctor S
BODY was found some two three miles from where be
had been met and not far from the trail He had appa-
rently been dead some days.
A short paragraph in the New York Times, says that
the alarm was first given in Mraposa, by the return OF
his horse without rider, to that city Other accounts
differ in some PARTICULARS but all agree in the main facts
Whether the unfortunate event is to be attributed to Vo-
lence or accident, it is yet impossible to say.

Bs1a The Georgia and California elections hardly go
to confirm the calculations Of ubiIant friends of the
opposition" founded upon some temporary successes
gains in North Carolina and Virginia, especially as
all sensible persons must be aware that these successes
were the result rather OF foruous circumstances than
of any " reaction" against Democracy, much as our
friends OF the opposition might wish to that reaction
The rccupcrativc power of the Democratic party is
thing which has always puzzled its opponents. Just
they begin to think they have it down and at their
mercy TO- it springs up stronger and more vigorous than
ever Its death has been prtdiced-yea even announc-
ed several tines yet those who have gone to the funeral
have found it neither dead sleeping, but alive and
kicking so hard as to knock over all opposition

A System.

Our Southern neighbor has been highly successful
with her leading public work, the South Carolina Rail-
road because the really central location and direction OF
that road enables it to send out branches in such way
as to concentrate the trade which its construction has
tended to deveope. There is hardly any competition
jealousy between the roads in South Carolina because
the main freghtiDg roads with one exception con-
nected in a common interest
Running through the State to Hamburg, the main
stem of the S. g. Railroad sweeps everything up to the
Georgia line while another prong divergng from this
runs to Columbia, and before reaching that place it
throws off a branch to Camden. At Columbia, rail-
roads spread off like fingers but all pouring the produce
of the sections they traverse into the lap of the S. c.
Railroad.
The result of having plan, idea in the location of
these works. is apparent to any who travels along
the line of the main road to speak. The amount Of
freight is perfectly astonishing, and completely throws
the passenger business into the shade We passed
most of the S. G. Road yesterday and found that the
train in which were, stopped much more frequently
on account OF freight trains than from any other
Cotton and Wheat from North and South Carolina,
from the Charlotte Road the Greenvie Road the Cam
den Road the Manchester Road, from the Georgia
Roads, too; live stock, Cows, Horses, Sheep, Hogs
not pound !, st to the public works of the State.
We may object to things in neighbors of the
Nation of South Carolina but travel their
roads and over ours will show that they started right
and keep so, in the main-that tarted wrong and
keep So too in the main. Our efforts to be to tap
roads to carry freight over them just as little OF
their distance as possible We build road from Colds
boro to Charlotte 224 miles and then make such ar
engagements will tend to prevent any freight from
passing third of that distance reaching
any North Carolina terminus at all.
