BY the flow ofthe inland river,
Whence the fleets Of iron have fed,
Where the blades of grave.grass culver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead;
Underline sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the one, the Blue;
Under the other, the Gray.
These in the robings Of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All with the battle blood CORY,
In the dust Of eternity meet;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the laurel, the Blue;
Under the willow, the Gray. 4
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The dcsolate mourners 60,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the roses, the blue;
Under the lilies, the Gray.
So with an equal splendor
The morning sun-rays fall,
With touch, impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day:
Broidered with gold, the Blue;
Acllowed with gold, the Gray.
So, when the summer calleth,
On forest and field ofgrain
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip Of the rain;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Wet with the rain, the Blue;
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of the years that are fading,
No braver battle was won;
Under the sod and the dew;
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the blossoms, the Blue;
Under the garlands, the Gray.
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.

dred thousand dollars which it is proposed
shall be advanced Immediately
But, Sir, If this bill had no other ohjec-
ton if it proposed to build up and not
embarass the State if its object was to
strengthen and not weaken, to add vigor
to and not destroy our system of internal
improvements, there is yet a reason why it
should not be considered at this time 1t
is useless, Sir, to shut our eyes to the true
state of affairs, and the question of our
ability at this time to make appropriations
for any purpose admits Of no debate. It
is no time to make appropriations for the
construction Of railroads, when cries Of dis
tress and appeals for aid strike the ear III
every quarter, and evidences, unmistakable
evidences, of suffering present themselves
to us, no matter in what direction we turn
our eyes. This road asks for a direct APP
preparation Of five hundred thousand dol
lars, and of all the railroad schemes that
we have considered during the session,
this is the only one that has asked the
State, i'll her crippled condition, to make any
appropriation. If you will refer Sir to
section Al of the act incorporating the
North Carolina Railroad you will see that,
as security for the redemption of the bonds
issued for the stock held by the State in
said company, not only is the faith of the
State but in addition thereto all the stock
held by the State in said company, is
pledged to the holders thereof, and any div
idends of profit which may from time to
time be declared on the stock held by the
State in said company, shall be applied to
the payment of the interest accruing
on said certificates, and until such divi-
dends Of profit may be declared, the Pub
lie Treasurer is authorized and directed to
pay all such interests, out of any moneys
in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated.
Now, sir, the State of North Carolina, which,
by the failure OH the part of its Legislature
thus far to make any provision for the pay
ment of the interest on its debts, and
through it's inaction shows distrust in its
ability to pay the same, is asked to appro-
pirate five hundred thousand dollars to this
Cheraw and Coal Fields Road. And how
is she secured /? In no other way than III
the event of the failure on the part of the
company to give security for the payment
of the dividends on this stock, the State
withholds the one hundred thousand dol
lars which she has not advanced. By the
provisions Of the bill no security is required
before the completion of the road, nor I'M
til it has received from the State, stocks in
the North Carolina Railroad to the amount
of four hundred thousand dollars.
[ have said thus much, MI. Speaker, in
defence of what [ conceive to be the inter
est of North Carolina.

MAN SHoT-AN AsToNIsHED NEGRO. w.
j. Fatherly, our pressman, who engineers
the steam power press all through the
quiet hours of the early morning, that the
patrons of the J0uWw Of Commerce. may
digest the news along with their breakfast,
is Deaf Mute, utterly incapable of hear
ing or uttering the slightest sound. 1t is
customary with him, the Sabbath being his
only holiday, to spend it as far in the coun-
try as he can conveniently ride.
On Sunday last while on one of his eX-
cursions, about four miles from this city,
driving down a small road cut through the
thicket, he was halted by a rough looking
man who was either negro, or white
man BACKED "Dummie " of course could
not understand the demands of the I'M
known individual, but being man of
shrewed wit soon perceived the drift of his
remarks and began to whip up his horse !;
whereupon the negro grasped the bride and
attempted to draw q weapon. Bnt 'Dum-
mie " was little the quickest, and being
an excellent shot, Immediately lodged a
bali in the highwayman's leg. He describes
the mans contortions as having been fright
full, but can tell nothing more. The negro
crawled out of the road and "Dummie y
drove rapidly to town, leaving the robber
to take care of himself.
