The LEAGUE ISLAND CoMMTrTEE.-As
we have heretofore stated, the Congressional
Naval Committee visited League Island on
Saturday, officially. After careful survey Of
the Is and and all Its resources from the deck
Of the tug, the party landed ard repaired to the
cottege upon the Island. A blazing pile OF rag
eots and drift.wood soon thaWed their chilled
limbs, and a comfortable COLLATION. awaiting them
was despatched with that ate of appetite which
waits attendance upon exercise in the frosty air.
There was no occasion for speech-making. As
Commodore Turner aptly remarked, when his
health was proposed: Gentleman, l am not
speaker; therefore permit me to plead the excuse
OF General Grant. As depot for iron-clads,
League Island speaks for itseit.' The Committee
had adjourned in Washington to meet at League
Island as matter OF official business, with an
express understanding thatthey we're to endure
neither the iDtictlon nor the pleasure of any
thing approXimating to ctremonl0us banquet.
The lunch despatched the whole line of ron
clads, mile long, was examined and the COM
mlttee returned TO the city about O'Clock.
They dined at The Continental upon their arrival
there. Two OF the Committee then started direct
for New York, and the rest returned to Wash
ineton.

they can and will influence the honest peo-
pie of the country.
This course of action is of the highest
importance to the President and the cause
of constitutional rights and free government
which he represents in the Northern States.
By the result of the elections in those
States, the destiny of the whole country
for veal or woe, is to be shaped We of
the South have as yet no power to make
our voice heard Crushed as we are, we
can resist nothing that our Northern breth-
rem choose to impose on us. The only
thing left to us is to decline to say we re-
ioice in subjugation and disgrace, and to
refuse to accept any burden not accompa-
MED by force sufficient to fasten it upon US.
But though it is of paramount Importance
for Mr.. Johnson to sustain his policy at
the North, because in it is embodied the
true theory of the Constitution, it is of none
the less importance to sustain it at the
South. As class, it is probable that the
Federal office holders here are more radical
even than those of the North, and we hope
in making refOrmatiOns in this class OF
men, that those who hold Office here and
use their official positions, and the means
thus placed at their command in giving aid
and succor to the Jacobins of the North,
will soon be made to walk the plank. -
Our people should file such information
with the heads of Departments as will in
sure certain and correct action.

THE Journal.

Our readers will perceive that within the
last few issues we have added an additional
column to each page of our paper. We do
this to relieve the pressure upon our col
umns, and to enable us to do full justice to
our subscribers. We have for long time
been using large proportion OF small
(minion) type, by which means we were
giving more matter than any daily in the
State. This we intend to continue, and
hope that our increased patronage will soon
enable us to increase the size of our paper
still more. Determined now and IN the
future to deserve the liberal patronage OF
our citizens, we shall devote our whole at
tention to our duties.
The Commercial Department of the Jour-
uoZ which has become q feature of our pa
per, will continue to receive the undivided
attention of our Commercial Reporter
Our weekly review of the markets, in con-
nection with the daily account of sales and
the marine intelligence, we think, are not
surpassed in fullness and accuracy In the
country.
Our Local Department will be confded
to the most competent hands. Interesting
items of news, and not invidious personal
tiles will characterize it. While we shall
always attempt to prevent anything OF the
kind, it is hardly necessary to add that per-
sons feeling aggrieved at anything we may
feel compelled to publish, will always find
an opportunity in our columns to vindicate
themselves.
We shall continue to issue daily editions
to correspond with the departure OF the varl-
Gus trains, in order to furnish subscribers
living upon the different mail routes the
very latest intelligence received by Telegraph
and mails.
The proprietors of the Jou'7'ol are deter
mined to make the paper worthy the new

Western North Carolina Railroad,

The annual meeting Of the stockholders
was held in Morganton on Thursday last.
The office of President and Superinten
dent have been consolidated, and Col. S.
Med Tate was elected to fill them both.
Governor Worth had previously appointed
the following gentlemen, Directors, on the
part of the State F. E. Shober of Rowan
DIR. A. M. Powell of Catawba A. c. Cowles
of Yadkin G. T. Davidson of Iredell ".
Murphy of Rowan S. Med. Tate of Burke
A. NJ Erwin of Burke: Hon. A. S. Merri.
mon of Buncombe.
The following gentlemen were elected
Directors on the part Of the stockholders
Hon. T. B. Vance Of Mecklenburg ; Hugh
Reynolds of Iredell DIR. Mcdowell OF
Burke n Woodfin of Buncombe.
Steps were taken to endeavor to carry
the road through to the Tennessee line,
with view to meet the Tennessee Exten-
sion to our State, and thereby connect with
the Virginia and Tennessee route also to
complete q road to Ducktown, in Cherokee
county. It was stated by gentlemen con-
versant with the fact, that Ducktown fur-
nishes more freight for chattanooga than
now goes over this Road
The finances Of the road are in d poor
condition. Fifteen thousand dollars were
borrowed few months ago from private
parties, and twenty thousand dollars from
the Southern Express Company. Goods
have also been purchased from the Gov
eminent sales on credit. These measures
have enabled the Company to keep up the
Road to this time.
Colonel Tate, who has been elected Presi-
dent, was in charge of the road, subsequent
to the surrender, until removed by the Di-
rectors appointed by Governor Holden,
who elected T. r. Caldwell, President.
Col. T. is eminently qualified for the diff
cult duties thrown upon him by the action
of the Directors. During the late war he
was one of the most efficient officers North
Carolina contributed to the service, ending
his career as the commander Of the cele-
brated Sixth regiment.
In recent article we spoke more parti-
cularly of this great work. We truly hope
the anticipations of its Stockholders may be
fully realized, and the road completed to
form connection with the roads beyond the
mountains.

Duplin County.

We are glad to learn that Col. Thos. S.
Kenan is candidate for reelection as a
member of the House of Commons from
Duplin county. Col. Kenan made an able
and faithful representative and we feel sure
the people of that county cannot do better
than re-elect him. Whether in military or
civil life, Col. Kenan does his duty jealous
ly and with credit to himself and those he
represents, We wish him success.

Rurke County.

! A meeting of the citizens OF Burke coun-
! ty was held in the Court House, in Morgan
ton, on Saturday, the 2sth ult., for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates to represent
the 18th District in the Senate, and Burke
county in the House of Commons.
Among the resolutions passed were the
following
| Resolced, That it is the duty of every man to
| acknowledge allegiance to the GoVernment OF the
United States and as soldiers and citizens VINO
were true to the South in the late struggle, we
will sacredly observe the obligations OF our oatha
TO sustain said government.
| Eosolred That the magnani1nOus conduct OF
President johnson towards the Sonth meets our
grateful acknowledgements, and that 1t is our du-
| ty to encourage him by our sympathy, as a Peo-
| nle in his contt st with the Radical majority IN
Congress. ~
Resozred, That the nominees OF this ConVen-
ton should discard party prejudice ana ~ oevoae
trv and especially should endeavor to make some
provision for educating the orphan children OF
soldiers who have fallen in this war, and for the
supnOrt of those soldiers who have been perma-
nentiy disabled.
Major A. c.. Avery was unanimously
nominated for the Senate, and Capt. j. j.
Marler was nominated for the House of
Commons. Maj. Avery was throughout the
war an active participant, and won the res
pect of officers and men. During the cam
paign in which Gen. d. II. Hill command
ed corps in the Western Army he was
his chief of staff. Of Il family, who i'm
pressed their names upon the history of the
State during the Revolution of 1776, in
obedience to the pledges given by the head
Of the family on the Goth of May, ITS, at
Charlotte, Major Avery and his noble
brothers proved true to the obligations
North Carolina assumed at Raleigh just
eighty-six years afterwards. Three of five
brothers fill honored graves, and a fourth
bears the marks of the most serious wounds.
Capt Marler was also a most gallant
soldier, and as a member of the House of
Commons last session, proved himself
most interchangeable and able representative.
Both the nominees expressed their de-
cided opposition to the doctrine of Repudi-
alton.
With such representatives the district
and county would have much cause to con-
graduate themselves. We are glad to see
such spirit manifested by that portion OF
the State to secure competent gentlemen to
look to their own and the interest of the
State in the next Legislature. Such EXAM
pies should act as an incentive to us to put
forward our best men. Time should not be
lost, but by early concert of action, the
services of gentlemen equal to the great in
terests at stake, should be secured. In the
race we are entering upon, we should not
be beaten for want of proper start We
can lily afford to tritle in this emergency.

4 Radical State Convention.

1t is proposed by a meeting OF few po-
school, he being the presiding officer, to
hold Convention of the Enthusiastically
loyal" citizens of North Carolina, at Ra-
leigh OH the Goth of this month, we sup
pose for the purpose of nominating can
didate for Governor. The Standard grows
enthusiastic over the mere idea, and while
making excuses for the want OF full re-
presentation on account of the shortness of
the notice, invites all the 'unmistakables "
to spare the means and the time, and come
to the Convention. The friends are adj
vised not to wait for meetings to request
them to como, but come of their own ac-
cord stand not upon the order of their
coming, but come at once.
The Newbern Lleeti4g, which r2aEes the
call, says not word about the President
and Congress, or the Platform Of the true
the Philadelphia Convention, but as the
Standard in publishing the call, and sound
ing his bugle for the clans to assemble,
gives an extract from the letter of a distin-
guished Western friend, stating that in that
section, large majority of the people were
in favor of the Howard amendment, we
suppose that this will constitute the main
feature of their new platform, possibly so
covered up with measures supposed to be
popular with the people of this State as
scarcely to be recognized. The President
spd Congress will both be thanked for their
efforts t. festqre the Union. Traitors de-
nounced, and the Vengeance Of the 4nsatia-
ted appetite of Northern Radicals directed
towards the noble prisoner at Fortress
Monroe.
We would have thought more of these
Newbern patriots, if they had had the hon
esty to have been present at the Mulatto
Convention now sitting at Philadelphia,
and not left the honor and reputation of
the State in such pious hands as the Rev.
Hope Balm and Parson Sinclair. Such eff
forts, however,, will not disturb the equa-
nimity of the people OF the State. The in
luence of the proposed Convention cannot
elect either Hons. A. Dockery, Thos. Set
tie, G. w. Logan, or r. P. Dick, Esq, Gov
Ieraor of the State, or re-elect Hon. John
Pool to the United States Senate, and if the
hopes for restored Union depend upon the
efforts of these men, we fear our chances OF
" getting home 4" are bad. We venture the
assertion, that not ope-ffth of the counties
of the State will be represented in the pro-
posed Convention, and that not one-haf Of

The Rev. Hope Balm, who represents Goldsboro',

elected to Office in his town. The for this

account, but three Union men in the place-name-
ly, the Postmaster, an octogenarian and himself.

Several Unsuccessful Attempts to Raise
Last Years Cable-The Final Success.
ST.. JOHN, n. F., September 2-The Brit
ish steamer Terrible arrived here at noon
to-day from the cable feet, which she left
on Wednesday, being short of coal and pro-
visions. At that time the Great Eastern
was starting for a spot one hundred miles
east of the point where the cable broke last
year, all attempts to successfully raise the
cable in 1000 fathoms depth having failed
The following is minute abstract from Mr.
Beams diary:
Sunday, Aug. 12.-The Great Eastern
joined the Terrible at the rendezvous. The
Albany had hooked the cable previous to
the Great Eastern coming up, and lost it,
with two miles Of graphing rope
August 13 and II, drifting.
August 15.-Mr Canning being satisfied,
by the strain on the dynamometer increas-
ing to 81 tons, that the cable was hooked,
at l o'clock everything was made ready to
let go large buoy with veering rope and
buoy rope attached Here her first disaster
occurred-the splice between the graphing
rope and buoy rope having drawn. Fortu-
nately no one was injured.
August 16 drifting. August II, at IL
o'clock, ships time, the cable came to the
surface at the bows of the Great Eastern,
but while all were congratulating them
selves Oh this great success the cable slip
ped off the grapples and disappeared.
From this date up to Wednesday evening,
August 20, we were graphing with varying
success. On one occasion the Albany
brought up two miles of cable. The wealth
er was very unfavorable.
At the time the Terrible left the feet it
was decided to go East one hundred miles,
where the water is only 1,O16 fathoms.-I
They would arrive there on Thursday, and,
from what is now known, it appears the re-
suit is perfect success.
