The TarborO' Branch.

Some days SINCE we copied from the Tarboro South
erner, item stating that Edgecombe County had al
ready made up her subscription to sum considerably
in advance of that pledged for her at the special meet
ing of the Stockholders in Wilmington & Weldon Rail
Road Company, held in this place last month. The
building of the Branch may therefore be looked upon
a fixed fact. Mr. Bridgers informed us, when he was
here last week. that the Edgecombe subscription would
be pretty certain to reach $4,000.
We also learn that some So, 500 has been raised in
each of the cities of Norfolk and Petersburg towards
the stock necessary to the construction of the Branch
referred to. Now, would it not be good policy in Will
mingon to raise some subscription to the work
The absence Of all effort recognition of the work here
could hardly fail to impress the farmers of Edgecombe
unfavorably, opposite would have differ
ent and more desirable effect There is disposition to
turn the bulk of the Edgecombe Cotton in this direc
ton and also to receive the bulk of the large amount of
fertilizers used in that county through the port of Will
mington. This disposition would be strengthened by
the evidence of friendly feeling which small sub
scrpton here would show-say even S. O00 Surely this
would not be very much but would show feeling and
would be duly appreciated This stock would be merg-
ed in the general stock of the Company and share
all dividends while the name of all business subscribers
would be known to the Edgecombe farmers and could
only result in the creation of good feeling

What Gen. Wool thinks of the War In Europe.
General Wool has written letter to gentleman in
Troy New York, in which he expresses his opinions in
relation to the being waged in Italy 1t is his
opinion that the in behalf of the people of Italy by
the Emperor of France against Austria, porends any
thing but their civilization and independence A mil
lion and half of men in can be of no benefit to
France, Austria or Italy. On the contrary, they will
only increase the that already overrdes the down
trodden people of Europe. The kings and emperors of
Europe have their feet the necks Of their subjects and
they to keep them there against all efforts to the
contrary ANY attempt to relieve them will only in
crease their burdens and tighten upon them the chains
of despotism. The people of France, Italy, Germany
and Hungary have EACH in turn, struggled for indepen
dence, but have gained nothing but oppression made
oppressive. The monarcbs of Europe are sustain
ed by large armies which the people cannot get rid Of
The power is the result of caused by their efforts
to substitute constitutional governments for tyrannca
misrue.
The declaration of the Emperor of France that he will
give civilization and independence 3" to Italy, would
look more plausible but for the fact that while he
would thus reclose her people from despoc ruie there
is national debt of nearly or quite two thousand mill
ion dollars expressing the wealth and industry of his own
people, which be cancelled besides the expense
of an army of eight hundred thousand men.
General Wool thinks the Emperor of the French will
not be contented with merely wrestling from Austria her
Italian dependen cies He thinks there must be some
other motive that has prompted Napoleon to organize
military force unparalleled in Magnitude and efficiency
in the history of the European wars. The unconquera
BILE opposition of Austria and England to the gigantic
strides, of Napoleon to universal dominion over Eu
rope and the reachery of Austria in her abandonment
OF him on his disastrous return from Moscow which sent
him to Eba and his defeat at Waterloo-al these may
have induced Napoleon Ill into the present war as the
only mode Of obtaining the revenge he seeks His wrath
can he appeased in other way than in furnishing Aus
tra and England. Gen. Wool concludes his very able
letter as follows:
The people of Italy are struggling for what Louis Ma
poeon has promised them" civilization and indepen
dence" When the contest is over, no matter which of
the two Emperors succeeds Tie Deum will be sung in
lonor of the people. Their glory will consist in seeing
their beautiful country laid waste and themselves left
destitute and helpless; and thus it will be until another
Emperor devastates the land of word at
one period law to all Europe-under the disguise of
giving the people civilization and independence

bG~ A late number of the Fayetteville Carolinian
prints in parallel columns two editorials from the Will
mington Journal of different dates, the evident object
being to make it appear that the position taken by this
paper in 1859 inconsistent with that which it occupied
in 1853.
The little difficulty under which the Carolinan labors
is that it draws parallel where there is parallel and
looks for inconsistency where there inconsistency
We have also looked over the files of the Journal for
1862 the last time Mr.. Ashe We find opinions
pressed there as individual opinions affecting the policy
of holding convention at that time, but always with
submission to the popular will-wth distinct under
standing that if called for it should be held. There was
no denouncing anybody who chose to ask for conven
tion as factionst, selfish Office seeker person in
stgated by unworthy motives Nor were such imputa-
lions cast upon three countes-nor indeed did any
county persist in its demand at that time. If we had
room we would be very well pleased to publish every
thing we wrote in 1853 six years ago. If the Caro-
nan chooses to do so we of course will duly appreciate
the compliment Be assured of one thing-it can find
nothing denuncatory of good Democrats differing from
us-no assumption to speak for the party upon mat
ter of policy, until the party had been fully allowed to
speak for itself.
