INTERESTING INcIDENr.-Col. j. B. Baldwin, Of
Staunton. who was candidate for Judge at the re-
cent election and VIM. j. Robertson the Judge elect
are warm personal friends We have heard that as
soon as Col. Baldwin became satisfied that Mr.. Ro-
bertson was elected, he sat down and wrote him a
letter of congratulation couched in very compliment
tary terms. At the time of the reception Of this
letter, Mr. Robertson was under the belief that Col
Baldwin was tho successful competitor So, in lieu
of writing his friend original letter Of congratula
ton, he took his letter to him, erased his own
wherever it occurred inserted that of Col Baldwin
in its place, and returned it. otherwise unchanged,
except the signature. So they are even, each one
being equally complimented by the other, and are
faster friends than ever-Blue Ridge Republican.

The HILLsBoEoUGH SAVINGS INSTITUTION was fully
organized on Friday last sby the election of the fol-
lowing gentlemen Directors, viz Thomas B. Hill,
Josiah Turner Sen., Thomas Webb George Laws
Charles NJ. Latimer, James c. Turrentine, and W.
f. Strayhorn.
At meeting of the Directors held on the same
day, Thomas B. Hill was elected President and
Thomas Webb Cashier. Friday was fixed upon as
discount day. The business of the company will be
transacted at Mr. Webb's office for the present. and
the Bank will be open every day between three and
four o'clock for the purpose of receiving and paying
deposits.
The first nstalment upon the subscription was
very promptly paid, and quite considerable sum
has already been deposited; and We learn from the
Directors that they will begin to discount next Fri
day.
1t is believed that this Institution will be of great
practical benefit to this community. as they have
worked we'll in other places. The charter granted
to this company understand is very liberal one
their privileges being greater than those Of most in
situations of the kind.
The whole of their capital stock Will be lent out
Issuing no notes, they have nothing to redeem and
consequently have no fear of those pests to other
BankS-the Brokers.
As an investment to the Stockholders It must be
advantageous. If they make but six per cent. they
receive it scmi-annually, the first of January and
July; but it is anticipated that they will receive
more than six per cent and that the stock will be
sought for permanent and profitable investment.
The Savings department offers to all an opportu-
nifty to make sums of money productive that other
wise might remain idle.
The standing, integrity, and business habits of
the Directors, afford an undoubted guarantee of
safety.
The rate of five per cent per annum will be al
lowed sums remaining on deposit for six months,
and lower rates for a shorter time.-Hllsboro' Re

that Jas. L. Mcguire special agent of the Postofice

other points, have failed to reach their destination.
Recently, Mcguire was directed by the Department,

SHALL OUR RAILROAD BE BUILT ?-What do the
people of Beaufort, Pitt, Edgecombe, Nash, Frank
lin, Granville, Person. Caswell and Rockingham,
say to it? On their early and decisive action this
important issue turns. Should they strike bold
and prompt lick, the thing is done, as sure as the
sun shines. The enterprise is all important to Wash
ington and of incacuable benefit to all the citizens
of those Counties. twill connect Washington with
several of the most intelligent and wealthy portions of
the State, and will bring the people of those Coun
ties within one and two DAYS of the ocean.
An air line from Washington would probably
reach Leaksve in about $50 to 100 miles, but the
proposed route, starting from Washington and run
ming through Pitt dipping near Greenville to Taw-
boro, Rocky Mount, Nashville, Louisburg, Oxford,
Roxboro, Yanceyville and thence to Leaksville,
would possibly be $50 miles, through one of the
best portions of North Carolina.
1t would be the cheapest line Of Railroad in the
State, costing less We judge than the Atlantic Road
from Goldsboro' to Beaufort not one half as long.
But few bridges trussel work, or expensive tunnel
ing would be required 1t passes for the most part
through a level, solid, clay country, with few
streams; running upon ridge between the waters
of Roanoke and Tar Rivers and the upper waters of
Neuse, &c.
1t would be the best paying road for freight and
way travel in North Carolina; giving to Pitt the
best and quickest market for its cotton corn bacon
&C., to Edgecor1be for its cotton corn, peas pork,
lumber &C. to Nash for its cotton to Franklin for
its cotton, tobacco &C., to Granville for its tobacco
-four and wheat, to Person and Caswell, for their
tobacco, wheat and -four, and to Rockingham for its
tobacco, wheat, fonr, coal, iron, &c. These intel-
gent communities being united by means of rail
road would become mutually interested in each 9TH
or, which would increase the way travel, and being
some of the most productive Counties, would fur
nish amount of freight scarcely paralelcd in this
Safe.
We learn that Maj. Gwynn expresses himself
warmly and fivorably to the construction of this
Road and assures gentleman Of this place to whom
he has written, that this Road would be Of cheap
est and best patronized Roads in the State. lie
says that survey Of it could be made at cost Of
only $500.
We urge the friends Of this Road to get to work
speedily. We hope to see the people of all the
Counties deeply interested in it, and beg the coop
Grafton of the Tawboro, Lousburg and Oxford press
especially, and the State press in general, in this
great enterprise. A Railroad running through
Tawboro', Rocky Mount Nashville Louisburg, Ok
ford Roxboro' and Yanceyvllle, would be the
rection Of those places Washington Dixpateh.

IIoN. H. w. MuLER.-The address of this distin-
guished orator, on the Eighteenth Century, on
Thursday evening last, was truly an intellectual
feast He possesses a power Of oratory which We
might say surpasses, in many respects, anything
have ever heard. He has that peculiar power over
his audience, which distinguishes true orator, a
power over the physical as we'll as the mental acu
ties, thrilling at time the listener with some
thing grand or sublime IN che era which he defended
and at another carrying you away unconsciously
over the checkered scenes of a century to contem-
plate the interesting and absorbing record of the
past. In the history of composition We believe
nothing has been produced which, in the small COM
pass of two hours delivery, could eT1'fense such
mass OF instruction-so much beauty Of conception,
purity Of relevancy, and adaptation to the subject
upon which it treats.
With the hand of master he overturns the
sophistical reasoning of Carlisle, and with the bit
terest sarcasm ridicules his unfounded conclusions.
We would like to give our readers a few extracts
from this mastery production, but we might as well
pluck gem from glttering diadem to convey an
idea of the whole to give piece from this supe-
rior production of intellectual labor to convey an
adequate conception of its beauty and excellence.
The Protestant Methodist Church, at the foot OF
Haymount, in which Mr.. Miller lectured, was early
filled from basement to gallery, and the asles had
to be filled with seats. There was large and ap-
prcciative audience present.
On Mr.. Millers appearing upon the platform, the
Lafayette Cornet Band who had offered their servi-
ces gratuitousy struck up beautiful air, and after
the music had ceased, James Banks ESQ.,, in few
appropriate remarks, introduced the speaker to the
audience. The intensity Of interest and attention,
with which Mr.. Miller inspired his audience with
his first sentence, kept alive through the two
hours of his address tagging, but very often
heightening to enthusiasm. We heard but one
regret on the part of the audience, and that was
it's brevity-Fay. Carolinian.

CHURCH DEDICATION, ETc.-On Saturday morning we
went up to Goldsboro by the regular train, arriving
there about 121 o'clock We found the hotels well
filled up, and the town alive with strangers drawn
there by the Episcopal Convention.
On Yesterday the crowd was largely increased by
the arrival of special trains from Raleigh Whining

es all having been kindly rendered to the Episcopal

A LONG SESSION. - We learn from
one who knows, that the prospects of a
long session of the Legislature are
perfectly splendid. The measures thus
far passed upon are of little Importance
to the State at large, and the idea is en-
tcrtained that the last of the session
will be no more favorable in this regard
than the first
