The New BANK, &c.-The Raleigh correspondent
of the Washington Dispatch says:

The New BANK &c.-The Raleigh correspondent
of the Washington Dispatch says:
"The earliest period is fixed for the new Bank of
North-Carolna to 60 into operation. The popular
and efficient President of the Bank has gone North
to make arrangements for the issue of bills, &c.
An eligible lot for the new banking house has been
secured on Fayetteville street, the location of the
old bank not being sufficiently convenient to bust
ness men. The selection of Mr.. Dewey for Cashier
is highly approved There many, however,
who hope that the officers of the new bank will
possess themselves little more of the suavity and
courteous manner, requisite in all business men,
than distinguished the officers of the old bank
The directory is a very able one In legal lore it
could hardly be exceled but all classes feel that it
was misfortune, that the farming and mercantile
interests of the community were not more consulted
in the selection.
We are glad to announce some evidences of the
growth of our city. There are already many very
delightful residences here, and they are gradually
increasing, to meet the wants not only of our ma
tive citizens but of others moving into the city,
A very beautiful residence near the terminus of
Hillsboro' street, between the residence of Judge
Saunders and St. Marys School, has just been COM
peted by R. S. Tucker, ESQ.,, one of our most pop
ular and successful merchants 1t is most conve-
nent, beautiful and costly building, and is an orna-
rlent to the city. Mr.. Boylan is erecting also a
magnificent residence west of the Railroad depot,
on an emnence which overlooks the city, which is
to be finished in superb and costly style. By the
way, why is it more of the rich planters of the low
lands do not fix summer residences in our city. A
more desirable location cannot be found 1t is true
we are rather hard to get acquainted with, but to
kaow us, is to lore us.

wood, which breathe the right spirit and
take the right side of the question.
The meeting was organized by calling

sensible, straightforward speech, in which
he exhibited the enlarged patriotism of a
true North Carolinian.
a committee was then appointed to
draft resolutions, who reported, through
their chairman, that fifty delegates be ap-
pointed to the Mass meeting at Tunnel
Hill on 10Th August; that the Blue Ridge
Railroad route is the only one that offers II
reasonable hope for our connection with
Charleston, is cheaper any than other, and
the only one TO which South Carolina is like
ly to make appropriation that the l.cgisla-
turc of North Carolina has laid restrictions
on the French Broad route which render
it mug tory and useless, and forbid the
hope that South Carolina will ever appro-
pirate dollar to its construction that
the extension Of the central North Carolina
Railroad is progressing very we'll, and all
efforts shoMld be made by the State to cx-
tend the said road to the Tennessee line in
the direction of nuck Town; that these

And his is the sccptre Of right,

His years glide away in their joy,
At home, in tho wnrm sunny south,

At home, in the warm sunny South
Old Cotton will pleasantly reign
When other kings painfully fall,
And ever and ever remain
The mightiest monarch of all,
