The Reaction.

The course pursued North by. Rev. DAM ell
Worth, as indicated by his speech published in
the Times last week. is having reacting influence
upon such as felt a sympathy for him on ac-
count of his calling and his age. There were
many who were glad, while they abhorred his
crin1e that it was so as he could make his escape
from this State but they now see what was In
his heart. what was his mission and are sincerely
sorry that they cannot once more lay hands upon
him. This they will never be able 10 do. Though
apparently bold man yet he will never again
dare to venture within the borders of North Car
olina. And further it will not by any means be
safe for any one to become his successor in this
missionary field. He has fully proven to us the
character of such persons and once in our midst
they would find sympathy to shield them from
an injured and justly indignant people. 1t Is the
duty of these abolitonsts to foot the bill of their
unfortunate brother and colaborer. This they
will do, and North Carolina will be ridded of an
unfaithful and traitorous son.-GreenSb0r0 Times
We must confess that are surprised at the
above remarks There many" says the
Times, ''who were glad he could make his escape
from the State,'' and adds that 's they see
what was in his heart" Strange that they-the
people of Guilford-could not see before that his
william that deserved mercy. The Times
thinks that the abolitionists North should foot
the bills; we hope that they will do no such
thing but that his North Carolina securities will
have to pay to the last dollar the amount of the
bonds. We have just much respect for Worth
as we have for his N. c. sympathzers. The
Times thinks it would not be safe for Worth to
come back. We think that he would be in no
danger in Guilford or Randolph.

LETTER FROM JOHN c. HEENAN-Another
Fight-Wilkes Spirit of the Times contains a let
ter from Heenan, dated London, May 5, in which
he says:
Il am happy to inform you that am very well,
and that the little scar got under the eye is al
most entirely gone. In a week or more no one
would suppose for moment that l had ever
been hit at all. l need not say anything to you
about the manner in which the fight was brought
to concusion-only this have no fault with
Sayers for anything that was done. 1t was natu-
raj that he should avail himself of every opprtu
nifty that offered TO save his belt and his hard
earned reputation; but there are others whom
mold responsible for depriving me of what earn
ed, and all that sorry for is that there IS no
earthly way in which | can get redress.
Heenan then adds that a day has been fixed for
another fight between him and Sayers. The time
to be kept secret, to avoid arrest, aud on tWen-
ty five persons each side will be present. Al
though confident he will whip Sayers in less than
half an hour he has little hope of securing the
belt Heenan says be will 60 to Ireland for the
fight

a ROBBERS : CAVE DISC0FERED--A rOber S
cave has been discovered at Watogo about four
miles distant from Oneida, Illinois The cave is
about nine feet long, seven feet wide, and five
feet high On sides ranged common
rough pine benches used for seats, it is supposed
1t contains very large book case, nearly filled
with valube books, among which may be men
toned Gibbons History of the Roman Empire,
six volumes. and a large quarto Bible. There
was large number of burglars tools, etc, in the
cave and also very curously, and one might
say engeniousy constructed pair of boots Their
curiosity consisted in the soles being on in a
versed way; the heels being where the should
be; They undoubtedly so placed IN order
to battle those who might wish to track them. A
visitor tried the boots on his feet and says they
felt rat her a,. .kwardy at first. but after going
little way in them he experienced no difficulty in
walking. Other stolen articles were in the cave
to the value of 5000, part of which have been re-
cognized as having been stolen some two months
since.
WoMExs RIGHTS AND MARITAL RiGHTs.-
The Sun don't like the strong minded principle
developed in the recent Women's Rights Conven-
ton. It says:
''Marriages are life bargains, and being made.
so far AS the State is concerned, without compul-
sion, the only duty of the State is to provide
against any disturbance of the social order by
their wanton violation.
Except far public morality and social
order are concerned the State has no right to in
terfere with the marriage compact The demand.
therefore, of the strong minded women, that the
State should authorize the wife to repudate her
marriage at her option. her inclination
may prompt, is utterly preposterous Nor
the State justly authorize the husband to break
his vows. and cast off the wife upon any plea
of incompatbility of temperament and disposi
ton"

TIE Hoosdsc Mass. } Iunnel.-The
distance to be cut through the noun
tain for the Hoosaic Tunnal is four
miles and half, and the material to be
cut through is hard mica slate, inter
mingled with quartz. The height of
the tunnel is to be eighteen feet, it's
width fourteen.
The work gets on slowly; the rate
of advance is only two and half feet
a day. On the 3lst May the workmen
had reached just 1858 feet into the
mountain, from the east end. The dis
lance made on the west side is about 800
feet. Three miles and half of solid
rock yet lie between the workmen on
the east side and those on the west side!
AS the work is now done by blasting,
(not boring,) it viii require at least ten
or twelve years to finish the tunnel, UNI
less some new and more perfect ma
chine for boring is brought to bear on
the work. They are now eighty work
men engaged, night and day, working
in gangs, eight hours each at time.
The distance between the highest
point of the mountain and the tunnel
below, when finished, is not less than
| two thousand feet.

that with the largest river of the country

have so long rested inert, though quick
ened by fire, and thirst, and fever while
they slept in all the feculence OF
cryptogamia. But they have reformed
all this now; private enterprise has
given one hundred thousand dollars
towards the construction of Water
Works-the Insurance Companies of
New Orleans have subscribed a like
sum, and. it. is expected that the city
will add all the necessary remainder.
Now, why not better, why not best,
for the great interest of both Parishes
that the reservoir for this water should
be made in Carrollton lit seems to
US that the mere suggestion Of this

ton. Who will, with nothing Of delay,

D Many persons have requested
that the attention of the proper city
authorities should be invited. to the
intersectionof Dublin with First Street;
that they might NOTICE how frequently
that spot is rendered. impossible in
consequence. of obsftuctions created
by the cars, engine, ETC., etc., of the
Carrollton Railroad Company.
The majority of our citizens are of
the opinion, that although the various
city councils holding place since the
completion of the Lake road allowed
this Company to violate, nnnoticed, the
stipulations of the charter which the
city granted, by running their locomo-
Etives and cars through our main street
at an unwarrantable speed, in total
disregard of all contracts or ordinances
to the contrary, they should not now
be permitted to obstruct, without no.
tee, the free passage of al important
thoroughfare; and that the city author
tiles should require from the Company
the same obedience to the laws and
ordinances of the city, as they would
demand and enforce upon a private
citizen.
The impression has too often pre-
vailed with J a large number of our
people, in regard to the formation of
some of our c9anoiI that the welfare
of the Railroad Company in their
estimation, was fully equal, if not far
paramount to that of this corporation.
The continued, UNDECIDED and unwar-
rantable encroachments Of the Railroad
Company upon the rights of this
community must certainly have tend
ency to create an impression very SINH
lar to the above.
