How this world is given to-beng mistaken We
never could keep more than pen in our lives, and
that mighty poor one and for the thimbe, where

the touch of beauty that had shod the end of pretty
tapering finger. They do say that friend Iumbro is
desperately disposed has way of talking about female
gear and may be rash as to dispose of his personal
liberty to some fair wearer OF crinoine and wiedcr OF

best wishes. Tumbro is clever fellow, and would
make good, aAectonae, intelligent and obcent bus

TIE WILMINGTON JOURNAL.
wILmINcroa. \. :. MONDAY, APRIL II, 1859.

RSs~Onr contemporary of the Fayetteville Csrolintan
cannot understand position on the subject of Con-
ventions. We cannot help it. We think that our CO.
temporarys inability to understand u.s. however, furnish
es excuse for its attrbutng to MS language we never
used 1t says, in its last issue: We thought that
while our contemporary was receiving 50 many cOmnunt
cations N, furor of Conrcnon that the CGrotnlan
should not be sighted in sucha reign of plenty" We
never said nor ntimated any such thing the Carroll
man attributes to u.s. There is such language III the
columns of the Journal. What we did say was in TIE
following words We have been frequently asked
about Convention and have received some communl-
cations upon the subject" The Carolinian does not
seem to depend much upon understanding u.s. Its i'm
agination appears to supply it with all it wants. We
never said we had received many communications,
nor did we ever say that they in favor Of Con-
Uention
Our contemporary judges rightly when it says that
communications must have been written by individuals
and not by the party Communications are generally
written by individuals, always might say, without
rsking our reputation for bashuness But presume
that the "prvatc intelligence from three Counties in
the district upon which predcated partly predicat
ed its unqualified assertion that the party does not de-
sire Convention, also communicated by indvldu
ais unless it was ysteriousy waited by the atmosphere
or raped out by spiritual medium.
The Journal is aot surprised at the want OF bashfui
ness or the boIdness Of assertion the part of its CO.
temporary The editors Of the Journal have seen too
much of that sort Of thing to be surprised now they
have also heard said and have been somewhat inclined
to believe that the exhibition of these characteristics is
not unrequently graduated in inverse proportion to
the breadth of the basis upon which they rest They
form ready capital, dispense with examination and ig
more regard for the opinion Of others equally Interested
they also make free with the motues of those 50 for
tunatc as to differ from them in opinion.
The Carolinian says . We arc not to blame for the
ignorance of the Journat respecting the wants OF the
party" That is so. The Journal is willing and able
to bear its own blame, whatever that may be and the
Editors are altogether too humane to saddle their gnor
ance upon the shoulders Of their already 0vcrburthened
cotemporaries Whether the District knows the Jour-
,lal Or the Journal the District is another question
good many of the best Democrats in it read paper
and have continued TO read for years. We trust they
will do so for many more.

McssfS. Editors "A friend has kindly handed me a

Keenan, in North Carolina, arrested by Marshal Dedman
and committed to the guardhOuse Saturday last, to
await requOn from the authorities of North Carolina.
1t is said this negro with Others killed white in No.
Carolina, and off to Alabama to help him out of the
clutches of the law. The negro is ne likely yellow el
low and has been working in the city at the carpenter
trade since about the first of January last
AS Ma or kenan is absent from home, [ deem it but

any testimony against him. it might be brought to light
and when he sent him to Alabama he gave notice to the
friends of the deceased and the public generally that he

The Norfolk (Va.) Argus states that gold coin, OF
very ancient appearance $40 or $lS in value was
recently ploughcd up in field on Tar river, Nash coun-
ty, n. c. By negro boy who at first thought it to be
nothing more than an old brass button. The place
where it was found is sal to have been battlefield in

The coin above referred to found on the lands OF
Mr.. Simon Gay, of Nash county. 1t is a good deal
worn the milling and lettering around the edges being
gone, although the devices in the centre are quite dis
tnct. On one side we remember it had Greek cross
with rampant lion and castle quarered in the dvis

to be an old Spanish douboon, with the of Leon
and CASTLE the lion and castle. 1t was originally an
ounce we suppose, but does not contain much

North ERstCrm RAILROAD,

The Annual meeting of the stockholders Of the North
Eastern Railroad held at the Bank of Charleston,
on the 9th inst
A. T. Ravcnel was reelected President with The old
Board of Directors. From the Presidents report we
have the following statement of the Company8 opera
ton for the fiscal year ending the 28th February, 1889
The Receipts, from all sources have been $22OOl3 Il
The Operation Expenses for same period l25S6S %
Excess. Observation-Disclosures. $961A 81
which is equivalent to nearly five per cent The pres
ent cost Of the Road ($1,9448O2 42) towards which
it has been applied.
The bonds of the Company exceeding in amount the
subscriptions to its STOCK bear interest of per cent
and the payment of this interest together with the
still necessary to complete the construction of the road
leave funds to be applied dividends to the stock
holders until the receipts of the road be brought up
to 1920 OOO which the President confidently anticipates
at no distant day. The completion of the Charleston
and Savannah Road which will virtually be accom-
plished by the close of the year. will be OF great yasc to
the Northeastern Road as well as to every scacoast
route North and South of it.
The President refers to certain anticipated North Car
DINA connections in the following terms to which We
ask attention
The projected Road from Cheraw to the Coaieds of
North Carolina demands especial attention. as its
construction must render this and the Cheraw and OAR
lngton Road among the most profitable in the country
and prove of vast Importance to the City of Charleston
Our trains daily from this to Cheraw at dis
lance of twenty-five miles from the latter the projected
Road will intersect the Wilmington and RuherfOrdton
Road, now being constructed, and render our market
accessible to tile products of the EXTENDED country
through which it passes. By the completion of this and
other links of Road which contemplated-and some
of the latter actually in progressive shall eventual
y be in connection with Knoxville, Tennessee. The
terminus of the proposed Coaleds Road will be at some
point Deep River where the mineral productions of
of that region found in almost in exhaustess supply
TO this point, it is probable that Road will be built
from Raleig h-which will then open new most direct
and attractive route between Charleston and New York
