W. j. STANLEY, j. P.-This official, of
Columbus county, whose name heads this
article, has written US a communication
regarding his part in the case of j. B.
Stanley. who whipped two negro Radicals
and convicts in Columbus county some
week or SO since, and which was reported
in these columns. Mr.. Justice Stanley is
very indignant against our informant,
whose statement was to the effect that he
refused to issue the warrant against J. B.
Stanley when applied to by the negroes.
In Justice to Mr.. Justice Stanley, how
ever, we will give his statement of the
case.
He says that joe Shepard (colored) made
application for the warrant on the streets,
and was told he could have it, and in less
than thirty minutes the warrant was issued
and docketed. The Deputy Sheriff was
then informed that the papers in the case
had been issued aud were ready at any
time. The case Was tried on the 9Th, and
Justice Stanly reports the facts developed
on investigation to be briefly these Stan
ley was on his way to his plantation near
Whiteville; met the parties alluded to (;
conversation ensued. The negroes were
asked which they preferred, to take 80
1aehes and leave the State, or 60 to jail
They said they would take the whipping
and leave, whereupon 80 or 30 lashes were
administered by Stanley with two gum
switches. They were then ordered to
leave, and were afterwards arrested by the
-
the Spring Term of the Superior Court
These facts are communicated by Mr..
Stanley, and published in justice to him.

DEATH OF REV. w. e. PELL.

We are panied to learn from a private
telegram received by us last evening
that Rev. WILLIAM E. PELL died at his resi-
dence in Raleigh yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock.
Rev. MIR. PELb, for a long period of
wears has been minister of the MI. T..
Church. He was also. until within the
past two or three years editor of the
Raleigh Sentinel, position which he held
with dignity and ability, and in manner
ever regardful of, and consistent with, his
Christian calling. He did most excellent
service to the State and to the cause of
truth and principle which he cspoused as
an ardent member Of the great Conserva-
tive Party. Although for some time retired
to private life, the loss of his influence and
example will be seriously felt.

The UntYersitY.

We do not propose to enter into thu
discussion between the comparative merits
of the curriculum and University, systems
In view, however, of the fact that public
attention is now being directed to the re-
organization of the University, we desire
to submit a few remarks upon a subject
deserving the most serious consideration
no matter whether the curriculum, or wha
is popularity termed the University or any
other system be adopted, to wit the proper
length of time to be devoted to preliminary
in contradistinction to professional, educa
tion. As our University will doubtless
afford full opportunity to our young men
to acquire education OF both sorts, the
proper length Of time to be allotted to
each kind Ia question entitled to especial
consideration at this time. The world has
grown beyond tho ago whom ADMIRABLE
CRIoHToNs appear upon the stage. No one
head can now hold all tho technical prac.
tical knowledge in addition to the general
principles of each science. Specialists and
specialties are now tho necessity and the
order of the day. The vast accumulation
Of its own learning, both in precedent and
principle, necessitates a longer apprentice
ship in each profession to bring the be-
ginner up to the common working level.
It seems to US that in North Carolina, at
least, and especially at our University,
sufficient consideration has not been given
to this fact, that all the powers of the
University wero too exclusively directed
to preliminary education. It is true that
an Irregular or Partial course was provided,
but it is equally true that it met with little
favor at the hands of the Faculty. We
sincerely trust that in the new University
those devoted to professional education
will bear fairer proportion to that given
to preliminary training. Our reasons for
this trust are, in brief, these: While the
highest mental culture, the more perfect
mental discipline, and the acquisition of
the greatest amount of knowledge are all
nece sary objects to be arrived at, it
Is generally considered that the most i'm
portsnt part of education consists as a gen
eral rule not SO much in the things taught, |
as in the intellectual habits instilled dur |
ing the period of pupilsge; that the purpose
of schools is rather to train he mind than to |
i'm part information, and that men taI train
ing is generally a necessary preliminary 90
any useful QUESTION of knowledge It
Is posi- Die, however, that young men may
wish to accomplish both of
these desirable objects at one and the same
ame-young men who feel the want of
mental training, yet whose necessities com.

Greensboro. The motive which actua:ed
this Board Of Directors have not yet been
surmises as 10 the motive power.
The advantages of the route to Salisbury.
over that to Greensboro, are obvious to all.
It is, az we have stated, twenty FIVE miles
shorter than is that to Greensboro and
can make connection there with not only
the North Caroline, but the Western North
Carolina Railroad. the former running to
Charlotte and the latter aiming for the
Tennessee line. This will furnish all easy
and practicable route by which the pro
duce of the Western counties may find q
seaport within the borders of our own
State, and which can be reached at O less
expense than in Virginia or South Caro-
lima. With the Western Road completed
fror: Fayetteville to Salisbury, the people
of the West can send their produce here

Road, then by the Western Road to Fay

permanent, advantages to be gained by
building the road to Greens' oro.' Il will,
in that case, only be playing into the hands
OF the Piedmont Road, running from
Greensboro to D2nville, Virginia. and
which will then lap up freight within ten
miles of Fayetteville and hurry it off to a
Virginia market.
There is something that We cannot un-
derstand in this action of Jones and his
Board, in thus endeavoring to hurry the
Road through to Greensboro, and we
hope that the matter will receive the pro-
per attention at the hands Of Legislative
committee. The people OF Fayetteville
and the surrounding country built the
Road to it's present terminus, and certain
~ their wishes should 30 respected when
it's completion is determined on. 1t was
intended for the benefit of Fayetteville
and the State of North Carolina at large.
and not for that of the Piedmont Road
and two or three Virginia cities. We urge
the Legislature to an Investigation of this
matter, believing, as we do, that the motive
pow or which actuated A. J. Jones and his
ooadiutors will be traced TO its source in
some scheme of that irrepressible in
trigue shop-the Piedmont Railroad.

Wilmington, Fayetteville and she Western
Railroad

| In the desire to build up private and
corporate property, it behooves people to
look beyond their own immediate neigh
borhood and to open mediums of commu-
nication from their own commercial centre
to sections reaching far beyond and
which produce the wealth that must find
an outlet in commercial emporiums. The
sea coast must be placed in close and i'm
mediate connection with the mountainous
may be within the reach of the other, and
an exchange thereby effected that may
prove beneficial to both. Nor must the
rich inland counties be neglected, but the
object should be, to throw out iron arms
that shall spread in hundred directions
and thereby embrace all sections.
The citizens of Wilmington, by the COM
pletion Of 1.-THE Wilmington, Charlotte and
Rutherford Railroad, the accomplishment
of which will be our browning glory, will
havo opened to the people of the West
vast highway of commercial intercourse,
and one which must bring with it much
wealth to our city. The mountains and
the eeaboard will then be literally united
by the iron arms and q vast increase of
trade and consequent enhancement in the
value of city property must be the result.
But while SO much of our energies are
being devoted to this grand scheme, we
are allowing the benefits to be derived
We have already published statement to
the effect that the Western Railroad, run
ming from Fayetteville to Egypt, in Chat
ham county, forty-two miles, has been
p.aced under mortgage for the purpose of
completing it to Greensboro. This action
was taken by Gov. Holden's Radical Board
of Directors, headed by AndrewJ. Jones, as
President, and is in direct opposition to
the wishes of the private stockholders,
none of whom have been allowed voice
in the matter. Jones and his gang, who |
are VIGOROUSLY incompetent in their efforts
at management; who own, themselves, but |
little. or no, stock in the Road, and who
were placed in Office for their own benefit
and not for that of the stockholders, the

From the Wadesboro' Arga1
The Retrenchmenf Platform

It is well-known fact that "Retrench
ment" was the battle cry of the Conserva
tive party during the last election cam
paign; and large majority OF the mem
bers of the next Legislature having been
elected upon the principles of that plat
form, it becomes them to be very careful
not to disappoint the just and anxious ex-
pectations of an oppressed people.
After the organization of the Assembly
OF North Carolina the first act should be to
fix the per diem of the members at S. 80 !.
The Wilmington JOURNAL has been for
some time earnestly advocating the calling
Of Convention to amend the Constitu-
ton of the State SO as to abolish useless
Offices, and reduce e4travagant snlarie7
and thus, to some extent, case the tax
pay ers of the burthens under which they
are grooming in their impoverished condi-
ton; and the JOURNAL has recommended
that the per diem of the members of the
Convention should be So 49,, and as it is
reasonably supposed that the members of
the Convention will be in every respect
equal to the members of the Legislature,
consistency seems to require that the per
diem Of the latter should be no higher
than that of the former.
If tho views briefly expressed above
sh ou1d be carried out, then the people Of
the State not only will have confidence in
their law makers, but will look forward
with strong anticipations to the dawn of
more glorious day in the history CT North
Carolina. In the days of CASTOR, Badger,
Morehead, Graham &C., the per diem of
members of the Legislature did not exceed
the amount suggested in this article.
In the depressed condition of North
Carolina, since the surrender, the building
Of Penitentiary ought not to have been at
tempted for ten or fifteen years to come
but, as this great and expensive work has
been commenced, we suppose it must be
gradually carried on to completion, with
due regard, however. to the ability of the
people to bear such burthen.
The unfinished condition Of many of
the railroads in different sections, seem to
demand State aid but if appropriations
are made they should be SO granted that
every dollar shall go to its appropriate
place. Let the swindlers take the grub
blng hoe, or sledge hammer.
