A Coon MovE IN NoRTu CARoLINA.- "A bill to prohibit the emancipation ol slaves by will and testament" has been introduced into the North Carolina Legis.
 ature, and the prospect looks fair for its becoming law. MT. Ashe, who introduced it, thus explained the cauee of it's introduce tion: A man had died and left a number of slaves, to be free when they had earn. ed money enough to carry them out of the State. They had been hired out, they had, by declaring themselves free, corrupted the negroes with whom they were associa- ted. Mr. Cherry coincided with MT. Ashe, The evil referred to had been very severely felt ln his county. He had little faith in any man who would work slaves all his life, and get all the benefit from them he could. and then liberate them at his death. Other Senators spoke on the bill, and some difference of opinion existing in regard to details, but all feeling and acknowledging the evil effects of the course against which the bill is intended to guard.

THE SruRIoUs GoLD CoIN AT NEw YoRK.-The process by which the spuri- ous milled coin is manufactured at New York is quite ingenious. The coin is placed upon lathe and made to revlove. A keen, narrow chisel is set against the edge; and as the coin revolves, the shisel turns out the inside of 1t, and penetrates nearly to the centre, leaving but two thin shells, as it were, connected at the centre. The cavity is then filled up win base metal, the coin is milled over again, and the edge galvanized, showing as perfect a specimen of work in fraud as was ever con- ceived or executed. IL can only be delec- ted by weighing.
 The mutilated coin weighs soms nine- teen grains less than good coin, and it7s estimated that each five dollar piece so mutilated is decreased in value 10 S3 75.

 The committee after short conference. through their chairman, reported the follow ing preamble and resolutions which were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, We are satisfied that the pro- posed Railroad from Memphis to Little Rock, when completed, will be public blessing and convenience, and will advance the pecuniary interest and contribute largely to the person. al comfort and social well being of the citi- zens of Prairie county; whereas, in our judg- ment, majority of the citizens of said coun- ty are favorabIy inclined toward said road. and are disposed to cooperate earnestly in it's construction; whereas, we, the citizens of Brownsville, as community, feel deeply in- terested in the location of the road through or near said town; and whereas, further, gen. eral desire prevails to know certainly whether it is probable that said Railroad Company will adopt location favorable to us;
 Now, therefore, with view to an inter- change of ideas on the subject, and the adop- tion of plan of future operations, likely to beget public interest and obtain material aid in the construction of said work,
 BE TT RESOLVED, That the Inequalities of the town of Brownsville be, and are, hereby tendered to John Robinson, Esq, the Presi- dent of said Railroad Company.
 RESOLVED, Thata committee of four be ap- pointed to correspond with President Robin son, with view of ascertaining when 1t will meet his convenience to be with us.

of the two black cats in that 'snall room,

have any two newspaper correspondents or any
two Senators, fallen suddenly sick, according to

verdict, that if they swim they must be executed
as guilty of witchcraft, and if they drown that
they are innocent and discharged. There is a

IMPORTANT TO THE TRAVELLING PrBrrc.-As
most of our readers are aware there has been
opened recently new railway route from New
York to Boston, by way Of New Haven, New
London, Stonington and Providence, so that
there arc now two means Of Eastern transit by
railway and three by steamboat and railway CON-
bined The Eastern travel is not sufficient. ex-
cept during the summer months, to support all
these; indeed, we are of opinion that the steam
boat routes have not paid expenses during the
past year. 1t is not purposed, as we learn from
the New London Chronicle to consolidate the
steamboat line which runs from New York to
Norwich with the new railway route. The
steamboat terminus in the event of consolida-
ton, would be at New London Al the same
time the steamboats, which now go to Stonington
would run to New London, thus extinguishing
two sea lines, and obliging the Norwich and
Worcester railway to depend chiefly on its way
travel for support The new route would have
