From the Greensboro Patriot.
HERMITAGE, Rockingham Co., NC.


To GEORGE L. AIKEN AND oTHERs.-Gen-
Nemem: The many enquiries made of me
by letters and otherwise, respecting the
contemplated Dan River Coalfield Rail
road, and the proper course to be pursued
in relation to the same, makes it impera-
tive for me to answer you, which can on
ly do through the Press, and i'll that way
can only refer to some Of the essential
parts of enquiry.
The charter has but one limitation, and
that is, the road must not run within twen-
ty miles of the North Carolina Road
The Company can so locate the Road as to
run from Danville in the direction of
Greensboro, and make some twenty five
or thirty miles Of road, and when getting
within twenty miles of of the n. G. Road,
stop and wait until the meeting Of the next
General Assembly, and apply to have the
charter amended so as to complete the
road to Greesboro', or if the Company do
not choose to wait so long, the road can be
run to Leaksville, or by way of Madison
to Germanton and comet with road al
ready organized. from Germanton by way
of Salem to High Point on the n. G. Road
That there is abundance of Coal all along
the valley of the Dan, no one in this sec
tion of country doubts; the only question
is the most favorable point. The Compa
ny is not restricted as to the time when
the Coalsfelds shall be reached.
That the road will be built, there is not
shadow of doubt; the only question is,
how soon we can get to work. | will add
in conclusion, let every friend of the road
march up to the enterprise, subscribe lib
orally, organize the Company and go to
work.
We have had three hundred copies of
the act printed in pamphlet form, and [
will send to any person copy that will
apply also enclose the form of a caption
to head the subscription list, probably some
may have use for it. Most respectfully,
GEORGE D. BOYD.

PENNSYLVANIA DISGRACED !

What must be the feelings OF the people of 9TH
er states, when they read of the disgrace brought
upon our noble old Commonwealth by the dis
gusting conduct OF the late Abolition House OF
Representatives at Harrisburg The once un-
sullied escutcheon of Pennsylvania, is stained
by the foul blot of white and black amalgama-
lion. Shall that blot remain Z Shall such men
as GEO. w. WILLIAMS, of this county, by
whose act that stain was wrought, go unrrbu-
ked ! Citizen, OF Bedford county, it is for you
10 decide.
BLACK REPUBLTcANIsM IN PENNSYLVANIA
In the House OF Representatives, OF the Penn
sylvan;a Legislature, bill was introduced to
prevent the marrying of negroes with white
people, and imposing penalty upon any cler-
gyman or officers for performing the marriage
ceremony between such black and white per-
sons. The Republicans have majority in that
branch Of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and
were they at heart opposed 10 the doctrine Of
negro equality, here was capital opportunity
to show TO the world their opposition TO that
detesiabIe heresy. But, true TO their love for
negroism, these Republicans voted TO indefinite
nitely postpone the bill - thereby confessng
that they believe the negro is as good as the
white man, and that they Will interpose no bar
rier TO prevent the black man from mixing
with their blood and becoming their social and
civil equal. This is Black Repubcanism, thu
Northern States over. A Pennsylvania paper
looks upon this as one OF the most atrocious
acts ever committed 5y legislative body, de-
clares it an insult to the whole white popua-
lion ofthe State and that the men who thus
bring us TO shame, should be sent into utter OBJ
scnrity BY the unanimous voice Of their disgra-
ced and insulted constituents. But such is
Black Republicanism, and such the men by
whom it is propagated and sustained. Negro
voting and negroes intermarrying with the
whites political and social amalgama,ion !!
when party countenances and supports such
doctrines as these, is II not high time that the
white freemen OF our country take measures TO
pui j. down Let the alarm be sounded -
Let the people rally around The banner of The
party oi the White ns1n-the banner of the Ma
tional Democracy and let them say unto
Black Republican negroism, ''thus far shalt
thou come, but no further, and here shall thy
bfsck waves be stayed !"-.hacon6 tRfinois)

OPPOSITION EXTRAVAGANCE.

The Congress of 1856 and 81, was largely
Opposition. It was noted for the extravaganza
Of ITS appropriations and the yenaity and cor
ruPt'on OF its members. The present Admins
tratlon has been compelled TO foot its bills 10
the tune of many millions. The debts which
this Opposition Congress made, are now charged
TO the account Of President Buchanan by the
very men who contracted them. We give
few of them below:

Here we have nearly eight millions of dol
tars appropriated for useless and unnecessary
purposes. But this is not much over half OF
the uncalIed for appropriations of that Con-
gress. The Washington Aqueduct, the expen-
sps of the Kansas Investigating Committee,
the increase of the salary oil members OF Con-
gress, and other expenditures of like nature,
swell this sum TO an enormous amount. Ii
was also this Opposition Congress, that pur-
chased desks for its members at $50 each and
chairs at S75 each. Such is Opposition "econo-

AN ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION

We give below the appropriations made by
Congress for the next fiscal year. II will be-
seen that il is little over Al millions. Fill
more's administration spent yearly about 55
millions, only "a millions more than Mr..
Buchanan
Expenditures Of General Government.
The following list of appropriations of sh.
last session OF Congress, which we take from
the Washington Union, has been prepared, in
accordance with law, by the proper officer,
ond may be relied upon as accurate. There
are some appropriations authorized, classified
as indefinite, but they will not, il is supposed,
amount to more than million or a million
and half !; and il may safely be affirmed that
that the total appropriations OF the expired
session do not reach forty three UaMioas.-

Prlatlons for the year lS59-60, exclusive of
the postal revenues, would not have exceeded
