OLD LINE WnIGs.-As an outsider we have here
atofore expressed the opinion that the Opposition
party, nor the Old Line Wings, of whom We sup
pose the Opposition to be mainly composed. could
not, at least the Southern wing, affiliate with the
Black Republican party. We are glad to find this
opinion confirmed by the leading Opposition journals
of the country. That reliable journal, the National
Intelligencer, is Of this opinion and in an advisory
article recently to the Old Line Wings, it expresses
the belief that they cannot join either the Black Re-
publicans the Democrats. The Opposition party
will possibly hold the balance Of power, and if they
see no chance OF eecting President themselves, we
cannot for moment doubt, that with their ayowed
devotion to the Constitution and the Union, they
will not hesitate to throw their Influence IN the scale

M. Eaitor: Latcly-pcrhaps two weeks ago
an anonymous communication was published IN the
Greensboro Pariot, Oh the ''Nor,l,-C Carolina" and
Western North Carolina Railroad" for the p'ir-
pose of renewing former attacks upon me. The
article was so bitter, so manrSiy malignant and
violent towards me, besides being very bcilous and
wholly false in its charges that took it for granted
the author entertained a personal hostility Tor some
cause and was DESTROYS of Offering insult as we'll
as injury.
Under these circumstances, taking him, OF course,
for new adversary preferred to deal with him
otherw Use than through the columns Of newSpa-
per as an anonymous writer; and accordingly tie
n,anded from the Editor, as | had undoubted
right to do, the name of the author.
The name given to me, but my surprise was
very great to find it was not, as had expected, a
new man in the field. but only my old adversary
and judge-the chairman" of the Senate-Mr
jonathan Worth - Mons. Tonson come again "
but this time in mask--preierring against me, af
ter silence of some months very grave charges OF
personal nature, under an anonymous name and
publication. This being so. of course was with
out remedy except through the papers-a remedy |
am very sorry to be obliged to fall back upon again.
If the chairman had referred only to the North
Carolina Road and merely repeated his former state
ment concerning this could afford to let him pass,
with the simple announcement OF his name. | have
been abundantly vndicated from all these by the
verdict Of the Stockholders of the Road at the last
annual meeting in July, and he was sufficiently re.
buked; but the "chairman" now turns his atten.
ton to the affairs OF the "Wesern North Carolina
Railroad" and very injuriously charges me in this
! connection.
| | have not had an hour of leisure before this
since seeing his article, hut wish now to say
shall, as soon as l can get time to do so, make g
brief statement of the plain facts of my connection
with the "Western North Carolina Railroad anG

by saving that It gram success, equal to any
exhibition ever had by the State Society any 9TH
er society of the kind in Norh-Carolna and we
are sustained in this opinion by persons from vari
Gus sections of the State
We were pleased to notice visitors and exhibitors
present from Burke Irecll. Rowan, Davie. David

Catawba. Clcavcland CASTOR. Ashe Mcdowell,
Union anil other counties in this State, and from

District S. C.. We say we were pleased tn see
visitors present from the different sections, and we
hut express the sentiments Of all the members of
the Society and of the community when We give
expression to the hope that they will continue to
visit Charlotte such occasions. People of all
sections and of any State have right to compete
for premiums at the Mcckcnburg Agricultural Fair.
Let this be remembered.
Among the prominent gentlemen present were
the Hon. John W. Ellis, governor Of the State,
Hon. Burton Craigc. Hon. d. NJ. B.rringer Dr. w.
r. Holt President of the n &. Agricultural Society,
and others.
There were $50 articles entered for exhibition

Over 100 horses and colts were paraded on the
ground at one time. and finer collection never
saw anywhere before. The numerous articles in the

A1RryARLE AND CHESAPEAKE CANAL-NEw STEAM
,,xr--We are pleased to learn that this important
mprovement is so far completed as to be open Tor
navigation and that vessels are now regularly pass
through it. !.
Though the Canal If, many places is less than hag
its contemplated width aud three tourths ITS intend
ed depth vet such is its great capacity, that vessels
of 2e0 tons have already traversed it. "a ar. ,,sb
The Lock ut its northern extremity, at its juno
ton with the waters of Virginia. is Of the larg-
est and most permanent structures OF its kind Zine
United States 1t is built of granite from the quar-
ries of Maryland and is 22O feet long between the
gates and AZ feet wide. t..
The trade of Washington, Newbern, and other
ports on the Pamco and Alnemarle sounds, that
has heretofore gone out ria Ocracoke and Hatterras
need not hereafter encounter the perilS of Cape Hat
terras, but may find its exit through this new chan
mel.
The work has already attracted considerable at
tenton abroad. Not many weeks since some of our
southern friends purchased at the North several
Steam Boats to run upon the rivers OF Georgia and
Florida, and they went south through this canal
thereby avoiding our dangerous coast The citizens
of Currtuck county have with cOnmendable ZEAL
established line of IStenm Picket Boats. that run
regularly to Norfolk, and we hear that other coun-
ties will be placed in direct connection by similar
lines. i.-
Messrs. Dotv Co., it will 'te seen ly reference
to their advertisement in This issue, have already
embarked in the enterprise having established t'oo
lines of steam tugs and bargeS from Newbern and
Washington. connecting at Norfolk with the Steam
ships for New York, Boston, Philadelphfa and Bal
timore The Boats very large, carrying 1ouo OF
more bales of cotton. s..... s.
The canal company have placed on the line two
powerful steam tow boats which used exclusive
ly in towing through the canal and navigation from
Norfolk to North River, so that vessels bound to
Norfolk, Baltimore or other ports need not be delay
ell BY going into North River at the lower part Of
the sound they will always find steam tug in wait
Ing to tow them to Norfolk.
This is new feature in Canal navigation. The
first and only believe in the world where the
towing is done exclusively by xteam.
The facilities offered by this route, as the work
progresses nearer completion, will exceed those of
any other work of the kind in the United States,
and we think our State may be justly proud in hav
ing work that will take rank among the first canals
on the continent When entirely completed, which
will be in a year or two more, the Albelnarle and
Chesapeake Canal will exceed all others in the size
and capacity of the Steamers and Sail Vessels that
may pass through Northumberland Citizen.
