Calvin Graves for Governor, whose casting vote sired the Central Railroad bilL The answer to all this is very easy and plain. Mr. Graves, we have reason to know, ;was decidedly averse to the use of lis name in this connection ; and when it was men tioned in caucus, a friend of his, who had the mat ter in special charge, rose and stated that he could not accept the nomination, if tendered. Mr. Graves, e know, is the warm and attached friend of Thom as Bragg he has served with him on the Board of internal improvements he has had opportunities for becoming thoroughly acquainted with Mr. Bragg's views; and he will not only vote for him himself, but, as far as it may be proper for him to do so, he will advise his friends and neighbors to do the same. The fame of Calvin Graves is forever identified and i proud and commanding fame it is ! with the Xorth Carolina Railroad. In the years to be, as the locomotive goes thundering from the mountains to the sea, and as the State improves, and becomes stron", and great, and as the eyes of her sons, in whatever land, sparkle with exultation when she is. named, Calvin Graves, it will be said, was largely instrumental in producing these results his casting vote gave existence to a work which was destined, with its tributaries and dependencies, to shed all these benefits upon the people and much of this lus tre upon the character of the State. Me does not hesitate to commit this important work, together with the whole system of internal improvement, to the hands of Thomas Bragg ; on the contrary, he prefers that it should be done, and will, we repeat, most cheerfully and cordially sustain him at the polls. J2FIt is rumored, and the rumor appears to be well-founded, that special Ministers will be sent by the President to Madrid, to make final settlement with Spain in relation to Cuba. The gentlemen spoken of to fill this high commission, are Ex-President Tyler and Ex-Yice President Dallas. They will be empowered, it is said, to offer Spain a certain sum for the island ; and, after representing the condition of feeling in this country on the subject, to present an alternative of a refusal to make the transfer the probability that it will be the duty of this gov ernment, out of regard to the safety and protection of its own people, their interests and institutions, to tike and hold the island the sum offered, however, to be paid to Spain in good faith whenever she will receive it It is highly probable that events of importance in relation to Cuba will soon transpire. The latest mws, by the Asia, is that the Spanish government has refused the compensation demanded by the Uni ted States for the detention' of the Black Warrior, will make no concession beyond remitting the nalty of six thousand dollars. . We have "the full est confidence that President Pierce will take such Etc?s as may be just and proper under the circum stances; and Congress, " we hare no doubt, will sus ton him. Spanish insults and Spanish arrogance fll meet a stern rebuke the dav or rather nirht of Spanish rule in Cuba is drawing rapidly to a close.

" - - ' - ' ; -i t v - MESSRS: ' RO GER AND PUR YE AR.' No labored defence; ;of : the vote! , Of these gentle men against the Nebraska billr will avail," The great :fact (hat they voted without sufficient reason, as Mr., Badger himself declares, against a bill which forever obliterates the Missouri line and opens the common territories to the slaveholders of the South'' as well as to the people of the North, stands out and towers above every thing else ; the people will look at that, and though they may have excuses and explana tions, they will still enquire how it was that Messrs. Rogers and Puryear were wiser than Messrs. Kerr and Badger how it is, that a bill so bittcrally op posed by Greely and Seward, and so'howled at by the Abolitionists, and toted against by every Whig from the free States, is to be injurious, as Messrs. Puryear and Rogers - would have it believed, to the interests and rights of the Southern States. The Warrenton News takes the following forcible view of the matter : 44 We notice that in the House, two of the mem bers from North Carolina, Messrs. Puryear and Rog ers, voted against the bill. What the views of Mr. Puryear's constituents may be on the subject we know not, but that this District was most wofully misrepresented, there cannot be the shadow of a doubt. Mr. Rogers is but the representative of a minority of the District at best; but we cannot be lieve that he uttered the voice of the Whigs even, in voting against the Nebraska bill. What excuse he may render for this vote we cannot guess, nor have we any idea what defence will be made for him by the Whig papers that have heretofore been glo ryfying him. We are sorry to see that there were as many as two citizens of North Carolina opposed to this great Constitutional measure. What will the Register and the Star say to Mr. Rogers for giving that vote ? They cannot justify it without disparaging Mr. Badg er' and Kerr. Is there a man in the whole District whose views were reflected by that vote ? and if not, what rort of Representative is he who votes contra ry to the opinion of every om of his constituents? Taking the best possible view of the matter, we consider Mr. Rogers as occupying an awkward position." SURRENDER OF THF FUGITIVE. The United States' Commissioner decided on the 2d to surrender to his master, Col. Suttle, the negro Burns recently arrested in Boston as a fugitive slave. He was escorted to the Steamer by twelve hundred troops, and embarked on the revenue cutter Morris for Norfolk. Many stores were closed for the day, and buildings were draped in mourning as tokens of sympathy for the slave. The United States' flag was seen in various quarters shrouded in black. Bells in the City and neighboring villages were tolled. One of the deputy marshals, it is remembered, was killed by the mob, and it required effort on the part of the authorities to hold the fugitive during the hearing against the attempts to rescue hini by citi zens of law-abiding Boston. President Pierce gave at once the sternest orders to the United States' Marshal that the late must oe enforced at all haz ards; and the government troops were on the spot, under his orders, ready to sustain the officers of the law. The law has at last triumphed in Boston ; but it is evident that the people there, with some honora ble exceptions, were either arrayed against it or in different as to the result. Indecd,portions of the peo ple seem to be more deeply aroused than ever on the subject. The law has been enforced at the point of the bayonet what is such a law worth to the slaveholder? X-W Som of the Whig papers of the State have been falsely stating, for party effect, that Gen. Dock ery once made a present of ten thousand dollars to Wake Forest College. One of these papers, the Milton Chronicle whose Editor has never been ex celled in the business of fibbing for party purposes puts down the sum at twenty thousand dollars; and the prospect was that the amount would soon reach fifty or one hundred thousand dollars, together with a library and four or five endowments for Pro fessorships, but for the following from the Milton Spectator, edited by N. J". Palmer, Esq., a member of the same church with the General, and fully and accurately informed as to the affairs of the College. The Spectator saj-s : 44 General Dockert axd Wake Forest College. We would remark that while Gn. Dockery has ever been the firm and unwavering friend of Wake For est College, and has been liberal in his subscriptions to it neither, he, nor any other individual has ever loaned or given the institution twenty thousand dol lars, or any thing like that amount. The Trustees some years ago borrowed ten thousand dollars from the Literary Fund of the State by giving personal security worth more than five times that amount; most if not all of which they have paid back with interest. The State could not even afford to give them the interest, although it has done as much or more for the cause of Education in North Carolina as any other institution save our State University. " The DisccssroN as PrrrsBOROCGU. The last Reg ister contains an account of the recent discussion at Pittsborough between Mr. Bragg and Gen. Dockery, which is intentionally and deliberately unfair towards the former. We give to-day a sketch of the same discussion, in which justice is done both gentlemen. Gov. Branch.

It contains, among other interesting matter, a list of articles with pre miums to be awarded at the next State Fair, which we shall copy as soon as we can find space for it. CoKGBESsroyAL Recess. The Senate have resolved to take a recess from July to October, but we trust the House will not agree to the proposition. Con gress would never adjourn if permitted to take occa sional respites of this sort, with an additional allow ance for mileage. If members and Senators would set honestly to work, and suspend for a time their political intrigues, they might enact all necessary legislation in six weeks.

Another Turkish Victory, &c. Advices . from Kalafat to the 6th of May, state that on the 4th, six squadrons of Turkish Cossacks, and five squadrons of Hussars had an engagement with the Russians near Rudoran, which lasted three hours, and resulted in the totaj defeat of the latter, who retreated, with' a loss of 128 killed and 12 wounded.

The vugsburg Gazette states that the last demon stration by Russia on the frontier of Trannsylvania was occasioned by an intimation from Austria that an advance towards the passes of Gallacia would be regarded as a cause of war. Russia responds by or dering 70,000 men to be stationed between the rivers Sereth and Pruth. Austria immediately distributed 90,000 troops in Transylvania, Gallacia and Moravia. Russia is making extraordinary levies for the army ana navy. Rome, May 12. Cardinal Lambraschini died here yesterday. A general rising was expected in Montenegro in favor of Russia.

This body adjourned this morning, after a most harmonious and agreeable session. On Saturday evening the holy rite of Con firmation was administered to twenty-eight persons. Yesterday mornin". John Beckwith, Jr.. of Wash ington, and Benjamin S. Bronson of Hertford were ordained Deacons. A collection of $204 for the Educational Fund was taken up, after the morning s discourse ; and at night, after a sermon by Bishop Atkinson, an additional collection of $554 for the Missionary Fund was raised. We learned that the Convention decided that the Bishop's permanent residence should be at Raleigh ; and measures were taken lor tne construction ot a suitable residence for him in that City. There weravarionj matters of interest to the mem bers of this Church transacted ; but we deem it unnecessary to allude to them here. We hope, how ever, that it may not be considered out of place for us to say. that the large congregations who listened to Bishop Atkinson's discourses during the Conven tion, were very much pleased by the cogency and closeness of his reasoning, the strength and beauty of his argument, and the bold and earnest manner with which he enforced the truths of the Gospel up on the minds of his hearers. The next Convention w ill be held at Warenton. Wilinington Herald, May 22nd. In the House of Representatives, on Monday last Mr. Ashe, of N. C. presented the resolutions of the Convention recently held in Wilinington. Their reception was objected to by Mr. Jones, of Tennes see, on the ground that the Resolutions did not come from the Legislature of a State, nor from a Conven tion called by authority of law in some Mate. Mr. Ashe explained that they were passed by n Convention representing a majority of the people of North Carolina. That he received them from the Governor of the State, accompanied by a request that they should be presented to the House for con sideration. Mr. Jones refused to withdraw his objection. Mr. Badger presented the same in the Senate on the 31st. VV e make it as a striking tact ttiat the bitterest op position to anything for North Carolina in Congress invariably comes from her daughter, lennessee. Wilmington Journal. The Cuban Trouble, ihe Washington Mar in forms us that the President has resolved to send a Commission to Madrid for the adjustment of our dif ficulties with Spain. The gentlemen selected for this purpose are Mr. George M. Dallas and Mr. How ell Cobb. Mr. Dallas is an accomplished and expe rienced diplomat, and doubtless the abilities of Mr. Cobb are equal to the duty. But tve are constrained to dissent from the propriety of the measure. Our Minister at Madrid is fully competent to the discharge of the duties of his post, and these supplementary diplomats will but embarrass his efforts and postpone lfnot prevent the settlement ot our dispute with the Spanish Government. V hat the occasion requires is, not pomp and pretension but energy and despatch. We believe Mr. Soule is a gentleman of too much spirit and delicacy of feeling to submit to the impu tation upon his official character which the appoint ment of auxiliary ministers would imply. We antici pate from this Commission nothing but disputes among its members, and a tedious and barren nego tiation. Jiicfimond Jnqutrer. A great deal has been said about Gen. Dock cry's being "one of the people," and he himselfin his pub lic addresses has not scrupled to parade his early want of advantages of an educational kind. Now we have heard in connexion with this matter, that Gen. D's. father has long been in good pecuniary circum stances, and that had the youthful Alfred been so disDOsed he might have obtained a much better ed ucation than he did. We have heard also that a brother of Gen. D. did obtain a fine classical educa tion, having finished off at Paris. Now we wonder if the Gen. might not have gotten a better education than he did, if he had been so disposed? this to bo sure is a very unimportant matter, and would have never been alluded to by us, except for the dema gogical attempts of Gen. D. and his supporters to make capital out of his early disadvantages. Fay. Caro. Candidates. In Sampson, Thos. I. Faison, Esq., and Dr. E. F. Shaw, democrats, are candidates for the Commons.

Tennessee, opposed the report, and supported printing the extra number of so much as relates to the European Penal Code. Messrs. Johnson, Fitzpatrick- and Fessenden re plied, opposing the printing of any part. Messrs. Badger and Seward supported the print ing. V ' ' The adverse report was agreed to. '' Mr Stuart offered a resolution for adjournment over from to-morrow till Monday, to have the hall renovated. Adopted. Mr. Adams' resolution, offered yesterday, direct ing inquiry as to granting a pension to the widow of Batchclder, killed in Boston while executing an act of Congress, was taken up and adopted. Mr. Hamlin reported the House bill granting a register to the steamerEl Paraguay. Mr. Benjamin withdrew his motion to, reconsider the vote adopting the order for a subscription for 5, 000 additional copies of the Congressional Globe. The resolution, therefore, is passed. The bill supplementary to the act authorising no taries public to take and certify oaths, affirmations, and acknowledgments in certain cases, was taken up and passed. The vetoed insane land bill was taken up. Mr. Hunter addressed the Senate over an hour, in an argument that the bill was unconstitutional. Mr. Foot followed, reading an elaborate speech in support of the bill. Mr. Badger, during Mr. Foot's speechj called the attention of the Senate to the fact that many Sena tors were leaving for their homes. It was desirable to know whether the meeting on Monday next was not for business or not. Senatars before leaving should know the fact. Mr. Gwin said it was certainly to meet for busi ness. Several Senators said nothing could. or should be done. Many Senators had gone home and would not be back by Monday. No quorum would be present. Mr. Badger, with a view of testing whether the Senate would meet on Monday for business or not, moved that when the Senate adjourn on Monday next, it be to the Thursday following. Agreed to by yeas 20, nays 16. Many Senators then left. Mr. Foot finished his speech and the bill was post poned. Mr. Slidell offered the following resolution, which was agreed to : Eesolted, That the Secretary of the Treasury be requested to communicate to the Senate what is the present condition of the building of tha United States Branch mint at New Orleans what sum .will be ne cessary to put the same in a proper state of repair whether there bo any such defect in the original structure, as will, in his opinion, consulting a wise economy, render it expedient to erect a new building on the present site of said mint? Also a resolution making similar enquiries respecting the Marine Hos pital building near New Orleans. After a short Executive session, the Senate adjonr ncd. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Oliver, of Missouri, introduced a bill provid ing for the survey and sale of the public lands in the territory of Kansas, and establishing a land of fice therein. Referred to the committee on public lands. Mr. Cutting suggested that it was a matter of the highest importance that they should now fix a day lor adjournment. As respected himself, it was some what a matter of indifference, but until a day was named he was satistied but little if any business, would be transacted. The moment a day shall be fixed, they would always have a large attendance of members, and could despatch the public business within a reasonable time. Mr. Hcnn objected, unless the debate shall be open to all. Mr. Cutting. Agreed; let's take it up now. Mr. Henn I obje-1. On motion, the House went into committee on the Pacific Railroad bill. Mr. Perkins, of Louisiana, alluded to an address published in the National Intelligencer of this morn ing, signed by five of the members from New York in relation to the Nebraska bill and the Administra tion. He defended Mr. Soule from the attack made upon his course at Madrid in the address. Mr. Peckham. one of the signers, disclaimed any intention to reflect personally upon Mr. Soule. Mr. Perkins then obtained leave to print a speech he had prepared on Mr. Boyd's land bill. A message was received from the President of the United States, tlirough Sidney Webster, Esq., his private secretary, informihg the House that on the 30th inst. he approved and signed the bill for the organization of the Territories of Nebraska and Kan sas. Mr. Maurice defended the sentiments of the ad dress. Mr. Smith, of Virginia, considered the address as a vital stab at the democratic party and the admin istration, and said the gentlemen who signed it could no longer be considered members of the democratic The committee rose and the llousc aujourncu. There is reason to believe, that an application will be made to Congress by the President on or before the 12th of June, for a provision in the civil and di plomatic bill to enable him to send a special com mission to the government at Madrid, for the purpose of stating what we intend to do about Cuba ; and, meanwhile, to propose to purchase it.' There is a precedent for this course in the special commission sent to France tor the purchase ot .Louisiana. Our minister, of course, presents an alternative to the purchase, and that is that the affairs of Cuba shall be so far reformed as to render its continued posses sion by Spain consistent with our interests. The future adjustment of difficulties, arising between Cu ban authorities and our citizens will De requirea 10 be made in Cuba, without reference to Spain. The attempt to carry into execution any plan for the con version cf Cuba into a free negro State will be deem ed by the Government an adequate cause for seizmj Cuba. Before the termination of the present session, the President will, probably, send a message to Congress concerning the Cuba question, in which he will re buke fillibustcrisin and ask Congress for ample pow ers and means to protect the interests and honor of the United States, in case of any emergency arisiug from difficulties relative to Spam or luba.
