MEI.1sH FOR RoCKrNGHAM.-[ti is ru m ore
on the streets to-day, upon what founda-
ton we know not, that Gov. Holden is
about to send a squad of his detachable
special militia to Rockingham county. We
do not know what ostensible pretext there
is for such an unnecessary and nonsensical
proceeding, if indeed, such thing be in
contemplation there can be but one real
object in view, and that is to get up an
excitement to bear on the approaching
August elections.
LNer.-Rnmor is confirmed. A COM
pany of volunteer detectives were drilling
to day, on Capitol Square, under the re-
doubtable Captain Kwiatkowski, which,
by Interpretation, is John Rosemand,
whilom engineer in the Standard press
room. We presume they will take the
field at once. as matters (that is two dollars
a day. pressingly demand it.
Raleigh Sentinel
SURVEYING THE RoUTE-Chicf Engineer
Bardwell and his Assistants commenced to
survey the line of the Plaster Banks Il Salt
Works Railroad, from Statesville to Mt
Airy and the Virginia State line, last Mon
day MI Bardwel thinks that the route
will present no very great obstacle, and
that the road can, comparatively, be cheaply
built. When built, Mr. 3. says that it will
be the straighest line between the South
and Baltimore yet constructed-by 70 or
80 miles. He says the advantages of this
Road to Iredell and other counties through
which it will pass, will be incalculable, and
that it will undoubtedly be great thor
oughfare of travel between the North and
South -Statesville American.

Woodfn VS.. Ssuden, Phil. zoo, is IN
point. True, the question Was not made,
but that proves it had not entered into the
head of any one TO conceive that the act Of
hiring slave or of selling slave in North
Carolina outside Of the lines of the .. S.
Army was against public policy, or against
good morals
The idea, that the subsequent action Of
Congress and the ordinance of our Con
7ention, can hive the effect by relation or
by post lnaiae to endanger the operation
of the act of 1862 and of the proclamation
so as to give to those measures the effect OF
abolishing slavery, and making the institu-
ton unlawful at the date Of this transac-
ton, and consequently making the act OF
the parties wicked and against good morals
has, in our opinion, nothing sound to rest
Cd, either in law, ethics or good sense
Coming events cast their shadows before
them" bnt events accomplished do not
cast shade behind, So as to make uplaW-
fnl That which al the time it was done, was
not against law. This would violate the
immutable principle of justice adopted in
our Constitution, by which &c post facto
laws are forbidden. There is no error.

The Velocipede.

Carl Benson, of New Y ork, was challenged to
find rhyme for ''velocipede,r and produced the
following:
There was a man on a veloclpede,
Who said | need not give my boss feed,
Without oats or hay
Hewill go all day,
It's cheap to keep veloclpede.
The Boston Advertiser man sought to improve
it thus:
There was a man with velocipede,
Who said, II will not do so gross a deed
As make any fuss
About h0rSe-car or bus,
When can ride my velocipede."
A wretch on the Chicago Post being thus
tempted, falls to wit:
There's vehicle called the veloeepede oa
Which is said to excel any hoSs 1or speed.
So cease all your jars
About crowded cars,
And mount every man. his velocipede.
The Cincinnati Times then takes shy at 1t
with this deplorable result:
A gentleman who cannot boss q steed,
Can safely ride velocipede.
Y on drive with your two legs,
And feed it on shoe pegs,
AMI thus fat up your velocipede.
Whereupon some egotist Of the Philadelphia
Bulletin soberly announces that he intends to
eclipse everything by the following:
If Benson, who sings the velocipede, =,
In prose would express all his gossip, he d
Teach his steed how to GO
To wheel or to whoa
As becomes a well-mounted velocipede.
On reading the above, old lady in Cham
bersburg who is decidedly averse TO innovations,
and who laments bitterly the slightest encroach-
ment upon the old and established method of To-
comotion, exclaimed:
The velocpede the velocpede
A pretty looking hoss indeed,
While there's bride and saddle,
[ never will straddle,
This machine that these fools call veoclpede.
Our ''decir' adds, as an Improvement on the
others:
Velocipede! velocipede!
A man must be fool indeed,
70 get astrde. and try to ride,
A boss with neither hair nor hide,
Nor neck, nor leg, nor head, nor tail
A great deal better ride rail.

FHvO THE PUEsAEC.-The experience of
IL the past two years has shown the necessity
OF strict adherence to cash sales. All importers
and manufacturers require of US cash at the ex-
plratlon of each month"; to meet which we find it
impossible to rely upon collections and have to
resort to means outside our business This we
wish to avoid and will, therefore after the LIST of
january, 1862 sell strictly for cash.
A settlement at the end of each month by such
persons as merchants, builders, and others to
whom it may be more convenient will be consd
cred equivalent to cash.
All persons indebted to us will confer favor
by settling by the LIST of January, or as soon af-
ter as possible, as we are desirous of closing up
past accounts and are much in need of funds.
