work of internal Improvement in the State. This
will require no additional appropriation OF money;
will impose additional tax or burthen on the
people, but will enable the Company to save the

as can be had, the completion OF great work OF

the means of completing it. if any other plan can

Hillsboro' Military -Gratuitous

The operations of the Hillsboro' Military
Academy have been resumed, under the
superintendency of General r. E Colston,
with very fattering prospects. General
Colston was for many years professor at
the Virginia Military Academy, and more
recently a distinguished and valued officer
of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Associated with him are Capt. VIM. A..
Obenchain and Major Daniel Trueheart,
both graduates Of the Virginia Military
Academy, with the honors of the institu-

The Legislature.

This body assemblies in Raleigh on Mon
day next, the 10Th inst. We suppose quo
rum will be in attendance the first day, and
no delay will be occasioned in the organiza-
ton. We have heard no name promi-
nently connected with the Speakership of
the Senate, but in that branch of the Gen
eral Assembly there are a number of gen
tlemen of ability and great Legislative ex-
perience, any of whom would make able
presiding officers.
Among those who are mentioned in con-
nection with the Speakership of the House,
we hear the names of Col. r. III. Cowan, of
this city, r. Y. McAden, of Alamance, Gen.
A. j. Dargen, of Arson, and we clip the
following letter from the Raleigh Sentinel,
recommending Colonel Thos. S. Kenan, of
Duplin, which we most cheerfully endorse
THE sPEAKERsHIP.
NesSrS. Editors As there is no one elected to
the House of Commons, who has ever presided
over that body, and thus acquired experience in
Parliamentary law, AMI might thus have claim
to the Speakership take the liberty of suggesting
the name of Colonel Thos. s. Kenan, of Duplin-
Colonel kcnan a practicing lawyer before the
war, and has since returned to his profession. He
has fine talents, great industry, and has made
Parliamentary law his study,-more SO than pro-
badly any member elect of the House. He also
represents section OF the State which is at pres
ent entitled to consideration. The popularity Of
Colonel K. is unboundcd among those who haze
known him. With most genial feelings and great
suavity of manners IS combined great decision and
unfiinching integrity. Let his name, then, be be-
fore that body, when choosing their presiding Off

INTIMIDATION of southern Legislatures.

The Wilmington Journal is mistaken in suppos
ing that we desire to 'intimidate the Southern
Legislatures" into the adoption of the Howard
amendment. We have no hope that it will be
adopted. A large majority Of the members of these
bodies are soIennnly pledged 40 Ainst it. They
could not vote for it now, if they would If they
sbouId vote for it, in the face of their solemn
pledges thew would at once forfeit the respect and
confidence of all honorable persons.
No, the Southern States. under the lead OF dis
affected and ambitious leaders, arc gonS to do as
thew please now, as they did in 1861. The conse-
uuences of such action cannot fail to be disas.
trous All we ask is, that it be understood and
borne in mind that we not parties to this new
folly. We seek to So intmidate no one.
