From the Daily Journal of yesterday.
The Charleston Convention.

s.
Our dispatches in to-days paper are up to the hour
OF adjournment last night. 1t will be that all at
tmpts at reconciliation and reunion of the party was
entirely unavaing-the Douglasites refusing all COM
promises rendered them the part the seeding States
N Carolina will be observed remains in the Convention
with proviso what that proyiso is, not inform
ed We suppose from tie position in which her delega-
ton placed, they could not well pursue different
course. The Convention at Raleigh adopted the Gin
cinnat platform their guidance and her delegates
presume, very naturally concluded that they were in
duty bound to carry out the same though they would
not object to the adoption of emphatic declara
ton the territorial question. Theextreme Southern
may have and doubt did, go too far at first and
demanded too much. They, however made concessions
which regret to learn not accepted The pretext
upon which the party split is too msy for such a
suit 1t should have been avoided. Hot-headed South
ern men and the uncompromisng spirit of the Douglas
delegates have thus produced crisis which will long be
remembered by the country.
Whether Mr.. Douglas will be able to secure two
thirds of the votes the Convention now stands it is
extremely doubtful The baloting was gone into at
o'clock yesterday evening The Convention is now
composed of 252 votes On the 18th and last ballot
Mr. Douglas received 1903 votes-168 being ne
cessary to choce-acking l7a votes of an election.
His is rendered still doubtful however,
by the adoption of resolution that the nominee shall
receive two-thrds of full Conveution-2O2. We have
received nothing since the meeting this morning.

The Western Mail,

The Goldsboro' Rough Notes of the LIST inst says -
The North Carolina Railroad refused this morning
to take the mails from the Office here leaving them in
custody of the Postmaster. The Raleigh and CASTOR
and the Columbia and Charlotte Railroads also refuse
to carry the mails at the rates heretofore pad-hat is
one hundred dollars miethese roads We learn sever
ally demanding one hundred and fifty dollars
We know not how these difficulties will be adjusted
but we hope, such speedy arrangement may be made
as the interests of the public imperatively demand
The Western Democrat says, and very correctly, too
the refusal of the above roads to carry the mails will
cause great Inconvenience to the public. The roads
have right of course, to ask more pay but whether
they have right justified and excusable for caus-
ing so much inconvenience by stopping the mails, is
question about which there will be difference of opin-
on Certainly it should not be in the power of Rail-
road Presidents to stop the mails whenever they please

THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN LISEs.-The
railroad companies between New York and Wash
inElon are considering plans for filing up the
three gaps that break the through connection Of
the route at Philadelphia, Havre de Grace and
Baltimore. The proposition Is to intrOdaes ferry
boats at Philadelphia that shall take the cars
across without breaking bulk, bridge the susque'
hanna at HaVrO de Grace, and run the cars
through the streets of Baltimore. The bridge at
HSvrs de Grace is already in the earliest stages,
but will not be completed sooner than three years.
the structure will be $500 feet lOag, costing over
half million dollars. When these Improvements
are made, SO that the same cars viii go through
from Jersey City to the foot Of cGPitOl Hill in
Washington, an effort will be made to extend the
track by tunnel under the hill bridge the POto-
mac, and put the northern roads in complete
connection with the southern.
