The Party War on Mr.. Fisher.

The party war on Mr.. Fisher, President of the
Central Railroad, still goes on. Mr. Worth has re-
piled to Mr. Fisher, assaiing him through the Reg
aster; Mr.. Mendenhall has had his say, and bitter
one it is, through the Greensborough Patriot Mr..
Leach, of Johnston has rendered himself ridiculous
by reply which he makes to Mr.. Fisher through the
last Register; and Mr. Turner, of Orange, is out in
the last Hillsborough Recorder, with an attack on
Mr.. Fisher and an attempted yindication Of his con-
duct in the Senate. But the Greensboro Patriot
heads the compainants and assailants, and docs SO
with an amount of disinterestedncss and patriotism
positively impressive. That journal will never be
happy until the administration of the Road passes
into -knsw Nothing hands. 1t finds fault with
every thing Democratic and refuses to be comforted
1t substitutes party for the State and vainy imag
ines that its little objections and gricfs will revou-
tionize public sentiment.
The Hillsborough Recorder, in publishing Mr.
Turner's communication, submits the following ju-
dicious and sensible remarks:
eve have, in another column, given place to a
communication from Mr.. Turner, in reply to some
expressions of Mr.. Fisher which appeared in sup
plement to his reply to the committee of nvestiga-
ton. Without endorsing what Mr.. Turner says, we
have thought it right to permit him to explain to
his constituents his views on the occasion.
We have intended, but have not yet had time to
do So to take notice of the report of the COM
mittee upon the North Carolina Railroad and the
reply of Mr.. Fisher. 1t may, perhaps, be admitted
that Mr. Fisher has been too bitter in some of his
remarks as applied to the Chairman of the commit
tee; but the impression made upon our mind from
the imperfect perusal which we have been able to
bestow upon that report seems in some measure to
justify his warmth of feeling. We think the exam
ination by the committee was too superficial to be
useful, and displays more of a disposition to find
fault than is consistent with even handed Justice
We desire, however, before saying anything more
on the subject to peruse more at leisure the report
of the committee, and also the reply of Mr.. Worth
to Mr.. Fisher"

PROTECTION TO SLAVE PROPERTY IN New MEXICo.-
We copy from the Washington Star the following
summary of the law recently passed by tho Legis-
lature of New Mexico for the protection of slave
property. The Hon. Abraham Rcncher, of this
State, it will he remembered is the Governor of this
Territory
"SLAvE PROPERTY IN New MExIco.-The Terri
ritorial Legislature of New Mexico recently passed
law for the protection of slave property in that
Territory. of which the following is synopsis
The killing maltreating of slave is made equal
with the same offences towards white persons Kid
mapping stealing or enticng slave away, or aiding
in so doing, assisting him to escape or secrete
himself is punishable with Imprisonment for not less
than four nor more than ten years. and fine of from
$500 to $1,000 To give slave fabricated freedom
papers, or induce his absence from his owner, sub
jccts the party to Imprisonment and from 500 to
$1,000 fine. To ncite or advise to insurrection or
furnish weapons to slave, traffic with with
ont permission, are punishable with from three
months to three years imprisonment and with from
$25 to 500 fine. The penalty for gambling with
slave is fine not exceeding 500, or imprisonment
not exceeding three months. A reward is provided
for apprehendng runaways and the sheriffs are
PEELED to take care of such when delivered to them,
at the risk of being amenabe to the owner for the
value of the slave, and to take steps for restoring
them to their owners, or IT no owner comes forward
to claim them to provide for their sale at public
vendue.
1t also provided that the of slaves shall be
compelled to provide adequately for their mainten-
ance, and shall be punished by Imprisonment for
not more than one year, or fined not more than ST.
600 for inhuman treatment of slave. This law
also provides punishment for slaves convicted of
crimes and misdemeanors, forhids negroes or mulat-
toes giving evidence in courts against whites pro-
hbits marriages between whites and negroes, and
makes all attempts to procure such alliances pun
ishablc. The attempt to commit or the committal
of rape on white female by negro or mulatto
is made punishable with death. Emancipation of
slaves in the Territory is totally prohibited Slaves
are not allowed to go off their masters premises
after sunset without a pass Provision is made for
recovery of slave unlawfully detained from the
owners by another person by replcvin, or haJeas
corpus. To hold as slave negro Or mulatto en-
titled to his freedom is to be punished by imprison-
mcnt of from five to ten years, and fine of from
$500 to $1,000.
The act took effect from the date of its passage,
which occurred on the 26th Of January last"
This is LIBERAL just and proper action by New
Mexico and in striking contrast with the course Of
the Legislature of Kansas. Slavery has foothod
and protection in New Mexico, and the probability
is that she will enter the Union in due time with
Constitution recognizing slavery

IS Mountain Scenery.,,

We are indebted to Mr.. Pomeroy for copy of
this work-"The Scenery of the Mountains of Wes-
tern North-C Carolina and Northwestern South-Caro-
lima "-by Henry E. Cotton The work is accom-
panied by well executed map, showing the region
of country described by Mr.. Cotton.
Every thing which tends to bring the East and
West closer together in their intercourse and SYM
pathies, is of interest and value. Mr. Cotton has
given glowing and we have no doubt truthful de-
scriptions Of the mountain region of the State
This little book should be in the hands of every
North Carolnian. 1t may be had at Mr.. Pomeroy's
Bookstore, in this City.

The SIcKLEs' CAsE.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Times says:
"The grand jury examined twelve witnesses in
the Sickles case to-day, but it is singular fact that
Mr. Butterworth, who had testified before the exam
ing court, was neither examined nor subpenaed as
witness before the grand jury. A bill will proba-
bly be returned tomorrow, and the trial set for
Monday next The counsel of Mr.. Sickles desired
to avoid any unnecessary examination of the case
before the grand jury 1t is not true that the friends
Of the late Mr.. Key have employed counsel. The
Judges oppose any such course as highly improper.
Unless government employs additional counsel, the
probability is that none will be employed Mr..
Sickles is surrounded by New Yorkers and others,
and is in good spirit" :" r. - - -, =

CRY AFFAIRs.-The firm and impartial manner
in which Mayor Harrison is conducting our City af
fairs Furnishing offenders against the laws and sup
pressing disorder, is subject of praise among
citizens Under former administrations we had dis
order, disregard of law, misgovernmcnt generally
and at times no government at ALL The change
which has been effected is every way for the best
and is apparent to the most superficial observer.
Mayor Harrison has the same law for the rich that
he has for the poor, and he holds the scales of JUS
tice with an even and impartial hand. We say
this in justice to worthy officer, who will be sus-
tanned by all good citizens in an honest, impartial,
and firm discharge of duty.

lie says now that although the Southern people
have the right to carry their slaves into all the Terri
tories and though he acquiesces in the decision of
the Supreme Court declaring slaves in the Terrific
ries to be property yet Territorial Legislatures may
by unfriendly action or by nonaction, exclude the
institution.
The debate to which we have referred shows an
apparently irreconclable difference between North
ern and Southern Democrats. We say apparently
irreconcable, for it may be discussed and settled
fair terms to both sections, and the harmony and
unity of the national Democratic party maintained.
Southern Democrats must not be expected to sur
render the rights of the South in the common Ter
rtories to abate ot or title of their equali
ty with Northern Democrats yet it should be re-
membered that no cause less than that which would
justify dissolution of the Union should be permit
ted to divide the national Democracy, for if that
party should be sectionalized, as all other parties
now are, the end would be at hand That the South
has heretofore trusted to non-intervention by Con-
gress the Constitution ITSELF and to the Supreme
Court cannot be denied. Trusting thus, and hoping
for the best yet prepared for disappointment and re-
verses, especially in Kansas she has nevertheless
gained in New Mexico, if she has lost in Kansas
Whether she will now demand protection by Con-
gress to slave property in the Territories remains
to be seen. One thing is certain: she may demand
it. but Congress sciU nerer grant it. The Southern
Democracy may require the Northern Democracy in
Convention at Charleston to unite with them in this
demand; but if they should the result will most
probably be the total overthrow of the Northern
Democracy in 1860. They cannot carry this weight
added to the fugtivesave law and the repeal of the
Missouri restriction, and triumph 1t is simply i'm
possible. They are our friends-they have stood
by us and fought for us on many field where our
Constitutional rights at stake; but their num-
bers are diminishing, and they cannot afford to lose
many more of their rank and file. Let us hope
that the whole question may be finally and prop
erly disposed Of before or at the Charleston Con-
vention, that the national Dcmocracy-th great
and, as we believe, the only hope of the Union
may go forward as heretofore conquering and to
conquer The opposition to the national Democra-
cy can hold out no promise of justice to the
South Their stronghold is in the North, and there
the watchword of their leaders is, no more slave
Territories slave States. The national Democra-
cy may not be able to for US all that we have
right to ask, or all we may fairly demand under
strict construction of the Constitution; but they
have the will to do for us, and aciu do for US greatly
more upon this vital question of slavery than any
other party now in existence, that may be formed
hereafter Strike down that Democracy-let it be
dsmembered and scattered and the day it is thus
dismembered and given over to defeat will be sad

THE POSTAL REvENUEs-Wc publish in another
column an able discussion of the question of the
availability Of the postal revenues for carrying on
the service, from opposite standpoint from that
taken in the communication which we published the
other day. The question is worthy Of a thorough
analysis from both sides of the controversy
The contingency of an extra session Of Congress
does not, however, depend alone upon negative
decision of this question. 1t is to be considered
whether Congress can be convened in time to avert
the evils which the department must suffer by the
failure Of the annual postal bill and whether, if
convened in the summer, it would address itself
promptly and effcaciously to the exigcncy which
called it together.
1t is thought by many, we might safely say by
nine-tentls of the democratic members of the next
Congress, who were members of the last that the
service of the department may be carried on by
means of certificates which would be available in
the money markets for cash in the hands of contrac-
tors and officers engaged in the service. 1t is not
unusual for certificates to be issued in the absence
of appropriations, which, without binding the gov
ernment as by contract merely set forth the fact of
service rendered and the compensation due under
existing law or usual in such cases.
At all events, we satisfied that the admnistra-
ton will endeavor to avoid if possible, resort
Objectionable to the great body of the democracy of
the country, an extra session and that it will
only determine upon such a measure under the COM
pulson of absolute necessity " Washington Union.
We do not think that an extra session would be
so Objectionable as the Union supposes. If the Post
Office Department will be seriously embarrassed and
mail routes curtailed and contractors injured by be-
ing compelled to wait for their pay, without ex-
ira session, then we say let the extra session be
called The administration and the Democracy are
not to blame for this state of things. The fault is
with the Black Republicans, and with those Know
Nothings like Messrs. Gmer and Vance, who voted
with them. Is an extra session necessarily That
is the question If it is and if the interests of the
country will suffer without it, let it be held The
expenses will not be great as the members Of Con-
gress are now paid by the year, and not by the day
as formerly. :. -"
