Hereupon Captain Titlow called in;
a sergeant and file of soldiers from
the next room, and the sergeant ad

diately Mr.. Davis flew on him, seized
his musket, and attempted to wrench
it from his grasp.
OF course such scene could have
but one issue. There was n short.
passionate scutfie. In moment
Davis was thrown upon his bed. and
before his four powerful assailants
removed their hands from him, the
blacksmith and his assistants had
done their work-one securing the
rvet on the right ankle, while the
other turned the key in the paddock

The next day, May 24, the doctor
found Mr.. Davis, very naturally, in
state of mental and bodily irritation,
and suffering from chronic neuralgia,
which had "destroyed the sight Of
his right eye" The shackles were
removed i'll five days, by the urgent
advice of his physician, he being too

allowed a walk of an hour on the

more comfortable quarters in Carroll

from June to November what is said
IN the review, that Mr.. Davis con-
tlnually complained Of his deteriorat-
ing health. and protested against the
rlgor and indigrt.ty of his treatment
as the head of six millions of people

His prison fare, too coarse for one in

CorroN PICKED BY MACHINERY.
One OF the greatest difficulties expe-
rlenced by planters, in the culture
OF cotton, has been the time and la
Dor required to gather the full amount
raised, as it is we'll known that many
more hands are necessary to pick the
crop than IS required to plant and
cultivate it.
This difficulty of gathering all the
crop seems to have been obviated by
a new and novel machine. which is
claimed by the inventor, Mr.. Howe.
to pick at least three times as fast as
by hand, thus securing to the planter
his tull crop III much less time and
IN better order than before; and he
also claims that, by this mode of
picking, the market value of the cot
ton Is enhanced several per cent.
lhc machine Is very simple, light
piece OF mechanism, weighing about
two pounds. The part which gathers
the cotton is Il small steel chain. so
lnSenlonsly constructed that it may
be twisted i'll dozens Of parts and a.
speedily put together without injury.
This chain gatherer or picker of the
'"'ioH passes through hollow tube.
one end of which empties into the
customary pickingbag, while the
other is passed from boil to boAe by
the haud with great rapidity. The
cotton is freed from the gatherer by
novel proc IS. The motive power
OF the mac hine is obtained bv a sim
pie contrlvance midway OF the tube.

chera,v and Coalnclds Railroad.
| La relation to this important en-
terprise the Benhetsyille Herald
says; .s--,>S
The President Of this road-Mai.
/ B. D. Townsend-returned here, on
Friday last, after an absence of ten
| days
! We understand from him that, in
company with Col. Macfarlan, ex-
President, they passed over the
entire route of this road and the
Chatham Railroad, that is to run in
Immediate connection. 1t is graded
ten miles, to the North Caroline line,
and surveyed and located the entire
distance. Twenty-three miles above
Cheraw it crosses the Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherfordton Rail
road, which will probably be extend
led from Wilmington to that poiot
during the present year; and about
ten miles farther on it crosses the
Great Pee Dee, just at the junction of
Little River, and within two miles of
Stanback's Ferry. Thence, proceed
ing in North h-Easterly direction
through Richmond and Montgc .aery
Counties, over broken but beauti-
ful and fiourishing country, it passes
into Moore County, crosses some
twelve or fifteen miles of sandy pine
ridges, to the source Of McLellan's
Greek, the valley of which it follows
to Deep River, crosses that stream
into Chatham County, and thence
following its course to the Gulf
where it terminates-eigh ty-tivc
miles from Cheraw.
Here the Chatham Railroad starts
IN immediate connection, and follow
ing Deep River down some fifteen
miles to its junction with Haw River,
at Haywood, it strikes OFF in nearly
straight line for Raleigh. where it
terminates, forty-five miles from the
Gulf. 1t will thus be seen that the
two roads, when completed, will put
Raleigh In Immediate and direct CON
nection with Cheraw and Charles
ton-the distance to Cheraw being
l3O miles.
The Chatham Road is graded for
about thirty miles, and most of the
cross ties are on the spot
This road, we think, is certain to
be built; and, probably, within the
ensuing year the cars will be running
from Raleigh to the Gnlf-tha upper
end of the Cheraw and Coaliiel,ls
Road. Here, too, the Western Rail
road from Fayetteville, y. c., to the
coaltields, terminates.
The supply OF coal i'll this region
Is said to he ineXhaustible for gene
rations to come. 1t is soft bitr,mi-
nous coal, identical in quality with
the famous New Castle coal. Its
resources, however, are not confined
to coal; inexhaustible supplies of iron
ore are to be found, copper i'll abun-
dance. and gold is also being success
fully mined All that is now want
ing IS the means of transportation,
which we trust will be speedily com
pleted.
