DOUGLAS VS. L1NcoLN.-Hon. S. A. Douglas,
in his speech in Mobile, answered the interrog-
atory, whether he would take an office under
Lincoln in the following style: Il have only
to say that cannot believe that any man re-
puted to be gentleman, could put such ques-
tions to me. Immense applause. There is no
language with which l can express my scorn
and contempt for the wretch who would init
mate that in any contingency would take of

would PROFOUND such a question to me would
sell himself in an instant to Lincoln or anv 9TH

\ pRoH1BrroRY TAXA STAY LAW

&C,
There seems to be general, we might almost
sav undivided sentiment in favor of imposing
such a tax upon Northern goods of every de-
acription which may be hereafter offered for
sale as would amount to an entire prohibition
within the States II it be left to the private
will Of the individual citizen to determine
whether he will trade for those goods, we be
lieve, as We have always believed, that the
virtue of self denial is not sufficiently strong or
prevalent among the people to resist the temp
tations of cheapness aad comfort; but if the
strong arm Of the law be interpoSed there can
he little doubt that the desired result may be
attained Every good citizen is willing to
undergo any reasonable privation, in order to
secure the object which everything, heretofore
attempted, has failed to secure viz: the restoras
ton Of the fanatics of the North to their Senses
in regard to the consequences of their mad con-
duct Nothing short of dissolution of the
Union, epcept most painful experience of the
entire loss of our trade, will ever convince those
people of the dreadful delusion Under which
they are laboring. Some persons have suggest
ed-in addition to prohibitory taxa general
- stay law in favor of Southern debtors against
Northern creditors-which we think would be
another very effectual remedy. Others still have
proposed the Ier toIiOnis--the law of reprisal-
which would give any citizen deprived of his
slave by an Abolition thief the right to seize
the vessel, other property of any citizen
of the Northern State to which the slave
had been carried. We doubt the policy
of the last proposal, and, indeed, we cannot
see how it could be carried out while there
is peace between the two sections of the coun-
try. 1t is inconsistent with every idea of
peace, and must inevitably lead to-as it al
ways accompanies-war.
Our Legislature meets Monday, and, we
have no doubt, these, and various other pro-
Positions will be discussed, and some wise
course adopted which will reflect credit alike
on the common sense and patriotism of North
Carolina VII Herald.

Rhode Island.

The Bogus Democracy are rejoicing
over the result Of the late election in thi:
State. The Spirit of boast and brag il
SO cheap with them, that they can afford
to cxpend great deal Of it, even over
the election Of Republican, provided
he was not the party drilled nominee
In the present case Paldleford was the
regular candidate for Governor, by the
Republicans. His nomination giving
dissatisfaction to portion Of the party,
they called out Mr.. Spraguc, thorough
going Republican, as he announced in
one Of the Rhode Island papers, rrcyi-
Gus to the election, and known to be
such by personal acquaintances in this
county.
The Democrats, knowing they could
not elect man Of their brand, and dc.
sirous Of defeating the regular nomine
Of the Republicans, nominated Mr..
sprague who was elected BY less than
1000 majority.
Ifthey can advance their principals
or derive any satisfaction from the cleo
ton and administration Of q Republican,
they are welcome to it. But then, poor
fellows, they have been defeated so much
lately, we suppose We must let them
have some vent by hallooing, over q
Republican whom they assisted in cleo
ting.

CINCINNATI April, 13.--Thc Columbus phpcrs
state that the injuries sustained by the Rail-
Roads and Canals in the central part of the
State, arc greater than was anticipated. Tho
damage to the public works is immense, being
not less than $4,000. East of Newark, the
Central Ohio r. Il. is covered with water for
miles. At Marietta, the water yesterday was
six feet deep on Hamer street, and rising
three inches per hour. At GAINESVILLE, the
Muskingum was higher than it had ever
been known West GAINESVILLE was all under
water, and the lower end of GAINESVILLE was
in the same condition. The Central Ohio r.
r. was very much damaged, and several ware

Our Railway Interests.

In one Of our late rum bers, we pub
lishcd an article from that inf uential pa
FER, published at Chicago, the Press {
TriJme, by which it vas seen, the inter
ests it takes in the early completion Of
the Cedar Rapids and Missouri Rivel
Railroad. We here insert another t
show that its able corps Of editors are If
earnest in endcayoring to awaken til
Capi'a ts.s ard Merchants Of Chicago II
our behalf, and also to show the activity
manifested BY others. These things
point in the right direction and are Ger
tainly very encouraging.
In speaking Ct our road in its issue d
the 18th inst, it says:
eve are glad to know that an effort
is to be made to bring the claims and
the importance Of this line prominently
before our citizens. The Board Of Trade
are to meet this evening at their rooms,
where facts in relation to its cost, the di
rect connection it would give US with
the new goll field, and other matters OF
interest, viii be presented BY Major
Bodish and others. We believe that no
subscription will be asked for but it is
intended to bring the subject before the
Boards order to elicit such an express
ion in regard to the Importance Of the
line as the facts vii! warrant.
We cincerely hope thore will be very
general attendance Of our substantial
citizens and our bushes men generally.
Our only fear is that our citizens have
becn,if We may be pardoncd the express
ion, spoiled by the fact that our railways
magnificent as our system confessedly il,
have been built for us, and mainly with
out Our capital or any serious exertions
on our part. Outside parties just now
have become tired and cautious, and it is
necessary,if we mean to secure the trade
Of the gold regions and the Upper Mis-
souri,fo US at least to give our influence
and it may be to show our confidence in
the work and hereafter perhaps to sub
scribe some Of our money. Let US at
least have large meeting this evening,
and inform ourselves in regard to all the
facts bearing upon the success Of this i'm.
portant enterprise. All those who have
any interest in the prosperity Of the
Galena road should by all means be pres.
ent. The completion Of this line to the
Missouri would, in two years, again make
Galena the leading stock Of the coun-
try.

ra- We noticed one day during the
past week large drove Of fat cattle in
our streets. They had just been weigh
cd and were starting for market-Chica-
/ go we think. There were 64 Of them
and their average weight was over 200
pounds the heaviest over 1900.
These cattle we.c bought up last fall
mostly in our county by Mr.. - Mur
ray and fattcncd during the winter. lie
undoubtedly made good profit on them
for he succeeded in selling them, at 81
cents per pound live weight.
Tn addition to these Mr.. Murray sold
few weeks ago, 40 other head Of fat
cattle, and Mr.. John Bursc and Mr.. +.
McRobcrts have sold about as many mere.
There are quite number Of others in
our county, who have been engaged in
this profitable business on a small scale.
During the past winter our farmers have
butchcrcd and sold not less than 1900
fat hogs.
From this it seems that they are turn
ing their attention in the right direction,
By raising and fatting stock to consume
the surplus corn. And is it not, we
ask them, since corn is The most certain
and productive crop they can raise, far
the best and most profitable course they
can pursue, to turn their attention more
generally to raising cattle and preparing
them for market. This has been long
since SO decided in specu' alton and
theory b. some Of our best economists, bu!
our farmers are too slow in putting it in
practice.
The summer rasturago for catt,e costs
paratiyely nothing and allthat corn
brings upon the average is 20, to % cts.
per bushcl, SO that they can be taken
from the prairies in the fall and continue
to be fattcncd during the winter, with
profit.
We have done very wei during the
past year in this line, and should do
much better in the failure. We hope in
three or four years to sec the number Of
fat cattle exported from our county in
creased at least ten fold
