Our contemporary of the Fayetteville Observer has con-
stituted itself scodergenera of the Opposition party
and its most common argument in reply to statement
of an adversary is to assert that such statement mani
testify false. 1t makes this assertion in reference to
statement in recent issue of the Journal such state
ment being based upon information contained in pri
Vate letter.
Now we have this to say-the writer of that letter
Is a man OF truth-a man who weighs his words, and
who stands up to them. 1t is pity that others did not
speak and write with the same sense of responsibility
Our information is tre the dscoureous insinuatons

Great Excitement! Tremendous Meering!! Nobody
Hurt!!

Hurt!U
About two o'clock this morning, two persons might
have been vending their way towards the depot OF
the Wilmington & Weldon r. r. Company. One Of
these persons had black travelling bag in his hand
the other had small vaIise The first named indvidu
al was one of the editors of the Wilmington Herald-
The second was the venerable person who presdes
the columns of the Journal.
The object of these anxious citizens was to hear the
discussion between Gov. Ellis and Mr.. Pool which was
to have come off to-day at Wilson.
But that discussion did not come Cf, and the anxious
citizens already referred to- to town in the return
train the fact being that owing to some prior engage
ment, or official duty intervening, Gov. Ellis could not
be at Wilson to-day, and so Mr. Pool and he mutually
postponed their meeting at that place. Such was the
account given by Mr. Galloway, the Conductor of the
train from the North and SO it happens that are
here instead of being at Wilson to-day. The last we
saw of the Heraldman he was bound homeWards, max
ing certain remarks to himself which, so far could
Judge rather uncomplmentary to the candidates
for Governor.
However all this may be, we know that after having
lost nights Sleep did not hear Messrs Ellis and
Pool speak today and are, therefore, than half
way out of humor almost any person would be under
the same circumstances. When new list of appoint
ments is made and announced we will endeavor to be
present at early meeting between the candidates. and
give our readers the advantage of our attendance.

WASHINGTON, April l3th.--A very volumnous re-
port of correspondence between government and that
of German States concerning the rights OF our natural
lied citizens to visit the places of their nativity,
made to the Senate to-day. Gen. Cass lays down
the general doctrine that naturazed citizen visiting
Germany must be allowed to remain without hindrance
and to depart in peace. That the summary ordering
away of such citizen of the United States without
good cause, would be regarded unriendy act to-
wards this government
1t is evident to observing here that the republ
rather court deed of violence on the floor OF
the House. not only from such grossly insulting speeches

of the New York Tribune which says that the point OF
determined resistance to challenging and attacking nor
thern men has been reached and that when occasion
shall CALL it will be offered in most effective manner.

Our RAILRoADs-We learn that the receipts from
freight on the Wilmington Weldon Railroad for the
month of March, 1860, amounted to $23l69 49, which
is over the corresponding month of 1859 of
S., 937 so, and $50i3 40 over the receipts for any
previous month since the Road has been in operation
This is cheering to the stockholders OF the road it
hibts the growth of local business independent of
through travel while at the time it proves that
the country through which the road has increased
in producveness and that large proportion of its pro-
duce has sought this market
We learn that the reighting business of the Whining
ton Manchester Railroad has also increased in even
more remarkable degree than that of the w. W. R.
r. and that the time cannot be far distant when the
Company will feel justified in declaring liberal dividends.
These facts in the face of the too general depreciation
of railroad property throughout the country speak vol!
in favor of the management of the long lines OF
railroad concentrating in Wilmington, which may be
regarded as the safest and generally speaking, the best
managed roads in the whole South.
