Political Troubles,

The Radicals having carried the entire
North by a series of unbroken successes
and secured the requisite majorities in both
branches of the National Legislature to

are now. without taking breathing time,
marshaling their forces and adjusting their
lines for the grand onslaught upon the
South, the President and the Constitution.
In what form or in what quarter the attack
may be expected we cannot tell, nor do we

For The JOurl
Internal improvements.

MEssRs. EDITORS "A writer in your is
sue of the 18th, who signs himself 'Friend
of Wilmington" writes of the Culture OF
Wilmington with some feeling and consid
cradle truth and reason. It is the first note
in the way of revival of business by new
avenues that we have heard in many a day.
It reminds us of the old days of 6" Internal
Improvement Conventions, "River and
Harbor Improvements" new lines of rail
way to be opened, &c, &c.
Really, let us look around and see if moth
ing is to be done, and if nothing can be
done to revive the prosperity of our dear
old town, now become city,
| This is good time our two oldest rail
ways are about to hold their annual meet
ings here, when and where many of our
citizens from the country may be expec-
| ted
We propose that Convention, to be
called an internal Improvement Conven-
tion," be held in Wilmington some day or
evening next week, say Wednesday even
ing, after the Wilmington & Weldon rail
way Stockholders get through with their
meeting and if need De adjourn it from
that to the following Wednesday, when the
| Wilmington & Manchester railway hold
their meeting
I will propose subject for consideration
atthe meeting, on Wednesday evening, DIST,
viz: "A Branch Railway to the Coal and
Iron Mines of the Old North State" either
by way of Fayetteville or by way of direct
line to Deep River, from, say Faisons
Station. A most favorable route, it is said
to De, from Faison to Deep River via
Averysboro, making very short line from
the coal region to Wilmington, not exceed
| ing 100 miles from the mines to tide water
at Wilmington. From some point on the
| Wilmington & Weldon Railway, say about
80 to 40 miles from this point, a line can
be found to Fayetteville not more than so
miles long. To this, add the Western
Railroad distance-45 miles-making 95
40 miles by way of Fayetteville. Either
of these lines will do; and as we desire to
connect ourselves with our sister town,
Fayetteville, we are inclined to that line,
and its extension to the West by which
much produce and business may be made
to reach this city for market, and from
this city supply a vast region of North Car
olina and Virginia. We have but touched
upon the advantages of this line to the city
of Wilmington. Look for yourselves, my
fellow-citizens, and see what country you
may reach by connecting our old railway
with Fayetteville, and thence by rail to
High Point, or some other point on the
N. G. Railroad, and thence to the foot of
the mountains, and ultimately across to
Asheville. Or, better still, by way of Sa-
lem (from High Point to the rich borders
of Virginia
Look it oat on the map, and see if you
can't tap Virginia. She has tapped you
long enough, and deep enough, to satisfy
her people. Try the oounter-tapping, and
see how she likes it
Then, again, hotel must be built
Don't let as sleep on that any longer. Help
ourselves, and others will come and help
us. Capital can be had for all these works.
if we are in earnest, and will show our car
nestness by our actions. What say you?

Titles i'm the South. -

The Raleigh Standard urges that the re-
lection of the Howard amendment may
lead Congress to the reorganization of the
State Governments, and the consequent
making null and void of everything that
has thus far been done, and says, ''the re-
suit will be that all pardons granted by the
President will fall to the ground" 1t warns
purchasers, therefore, to be careful about
their titles. In reply to this the National
b'teAtgencer says that Congress is not likely
to be guilty of any such folly; bat, in any
event, it cannot touch the pardoning power
of the President. That is secured by the
Constitution, and is beyond the reach of a
tWo-thirds vote.

Mcssasc of Governor Patton OF Alabama
He Opposes the Constitutional Amend
ment.
MOBILE Nov. 13.-The Governors Mes
sage takes strong grounds against the Con-
stitutional Amendment. After reviewing
the whole subject, he says lam decidedly
of the opinion that this Amendment ought
not to be ratified. The first section en-
bodies principles dangerous to the people
of the whole country, and is applicable to
New York, Massachusetts and Alabama
The third section would bring possible
good to represented States. 1t would re-
duce those unrepresented to utter anarchy
andruin. Weare sincerely DESTROYS for COM
plete restorationto the Union, and want con-
Citation, harmony and national tranquility.
We feel that we have given every evidence
of honest purpose to conform in good faith
to the condition of things surround
ing us. Alabama is as true to-day to the
Constitution and Laws of the General Gov
eminent as any State in the Union. I'm
der the Internal Revenue Law-tax on cot
ton-the people of this State now pay reve-
nue. to the Government to the amount of
nearly two million dollars. per year-in the
enactment of which laws they had no voice.
The Amendment was proposed when nearly
one-third of the States were unrepresented,
and all its harsh features are aimed at its
features thus excluded. The ratification
