A COOP T1ME.-Our special Reporter mot our regu
lar one) informs that yesterday about noon or per
haps little later, pleasant crowd of citizens "migh
have been and perhaps heard in the cabin of the
New Steamship North Carolina, where they assembled
at the hospitabe invitation of E. A. Keith ESQ.,, agent
of the ne and did then and there drink to the health
the Ship the Captain, the Agent, the Old North State
the. Steamship Company and the Present Company
to wit theirhonorable selves
What more was done we have not been able to learr
from our special Reporter. He entered so deeply int
the spirit of the occasion that he became too full fo
utterance."
In truth, from what we ourselves saw and heard in
bret visit OF about five minutes lead to regre
that we could not prolong stay in such pleasan
company.

PAINFUL SHOOTING CAsE.-We learn that yesterday
morning, FRIDAY the lst instantly small boy named
james Edward Dickson, stepson of Mr.. H. Mehrchens,
was found in small branch run the Northeast
ern limits of the town. He was almost in dying con-
don having received load of shot in the back of his
head. lie was carried home and medical attendance
procured.
The account he gave was that he somehow got or
took from his mother enough money to buy two small
shot guns and that on Wednesday he and larger boy
named Thomas Bishop, aged about fourteen the Dick
boy being about eleven wen out to shoot with the
guns. That towards the evening it would SEEM the
load of the gun in the hands of Bishop went of, and
was lodged in the head of Dickson. We must thi1k
that the shooting accidental. The wounded boy
remained in the half mud, half water of the branch un-
til Friday morning. He died this morning at 10 o'clock
1t would seem that from the fatal wound on his head
together with exposure his mind may have been wan
dering that forbear to repeat any of the state
ments he made leading to the suppostion of any thing
wrong. His lying in the mud, dying almost, for two
nights and day is awful. We learn that the boy
Bishop told negro woman on Thursday, but she did
not believe him. his character for truth not being very
good.

WILMINGTON, CHARLOTTE AND RUTHERFORD RAIL
ROAD.-RECEIPTs OF Corrosive learn that the re-
ceipts of Cotton by the Wilmington Charlotte and
Rutherford Railroad for the mouth of January 1861
amounted 10 l16O bales which we think is doing very
well for road that has only just reached the edge OF
the Cotton regions of the portion of the
State. As it advances now, every additional mile will
be sensiby felt in the business of the road and in the
facilities it will afford to the citizens of Richmond An
son and other counties.
The receipts OF other produce by this road for the
same time have been encouraging and like Cotton will
receive far more than proportional development fo
each additional mile of track to be hereafter laid

CoNs1sTENCY.-The Republican,, and other protec-

Weighing loudly against the secession of louisiana be-
cause say they Louisiana ungraefu for the great ia
vor she has enjoyed through the protection afforded to
her interest by means of the duty sugar.
Among those who talk most loudly and enveigh most
bitterly against the protection of twenty per cent.
Louisiana sugar. the Pennsy who gave the
vote of their State to Lincoln and thus are more direct
responsible for the present State Of the country than
the voters of almost any other State. Why did the
Pennsyvanans go for Lincoln and the Chicago plat
form? They say that they not Republicans nor
Aboltionists-they are for Tariff-they haze "a per
cent. protection their iron, and they want more
Sugar, the single article of Southern production which
has any protection, is eyesore and of offence
to the North almost every one of whose products is
protected and whose second largest State was willing
to risk the union and harmony of the country rather
than be content with duty of "a per cent. on iron
We do not advocate the sugar duty. We only look
at the consistency of those at the North who raise
cutlery account of it.
