THE CAKOMMAN f I I s I 1 I v. i NORTH CAROLINIAN Win. II. Dayne, Kill tor and Proprietor. FAYETTEVILLE, 3T. C. DECEMBER 9. 1848. , THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE was read be fore both Houses of Congress on Tuesday last, at 12 o'clock. . On Friday morning, we received a copy of it in the Union, but its great length pre vents us from giving anything more in this pub lication than a synopsis from the Union as fol lows : The operations of the Post Office Department, exhibit the gratifying fact of a large increase of service performed, together with an increase of the revenue received, justifying, in the opin ion of the Postmaster General, a reduction of postages to a uniform rate of live cents; which suggestion is recommended by the President to the favorable consideration of Congress. The view of the finances, as given in the mes S3ge, forms the most triumphant vindication, and indeed the noblest eulogy, of the policy of the administration in that most important branch of our national interest. By reference to the message, will be seen the somewhat singular coincidence that the total exports and total im ports of the last fiscal ycnr amounted, in round numbers, each to 15 I millions; while of the im ports just ..21,12,010 were re-exported, and of THE INTERESTS OF FAYETTEVILLE AND THE WEST. Internal Improvements Railroads, Plank Roads, 4'c. . We last week ventured an opinion in regard to the recommendation by Gor.Grahsm, to extend the Ualeigh and Gaston Railroad from Raieigh to Charlotte. (We estimated the distance at 135 miles; he at 160 miles by the mail route. Pro- I bably 150 would come nearer to the true distance ' bv direct rail marl I w - - lumc.j The Governor recommends that such contin uation be made to form the "connecting link" of Railroad which has so long been desired to complete the chain of railroad communication from one extreme of the Union to the other. The people of the counties of Cumberland. Robeson, Richmond, &c, might well ask why the Governor has recommended the connection between Raleigh and Charlotte, when for the last four years or more, the connection between Ra leigh and Camden, S. C, known as the Metro politan route, has been considered by many as the most practicable and most useful route ? So, the people of Wilmington and the adjoin ing counties, might ask why he has overlooked the connection contemplated between Wilming ton and Manchester, S. C. "Aye! there's the rnb !" Such, unfortunately, is the miserable sectional feeling that has been engendered by these two railroad projects, that the Governor determined to play a neutral part between them, and by a recommendation that would kill both, give no comfort to either at the expense of the other. The Governor estimates that the 100 miles of the exports sjj'vi 1,1 f2S ,010 also were of foreign articles. The total revenue for the same fiscal j railroad between Raleigh and Charlotte can be year amounted to nearly thirty-five millicns and , built at $10,000 per mile. The Governor is pro- a half exceeding by about one million, the esti mate of the Secretary of the Treasury. The to tal expenditures of the government during the sime period, including the war expenditure and excluding the payments on account of the public, debt, were about forty-two millions. The esti mated receipts into the treasury for the oresent fiscal ye;ir endii.g the 30th of June next, are about fifty-seven millions. The estimated ex penditures for the same period, including the nccess iry payments on accounts of the public leht, the payments to Mexico and remaining war expenses, including reimbursement ef treasury notes, amount to about fifty-four millions ; leav ing in the treasury an estimated balance of about three millions. The total public debt, including treasury notes and ail the loans authorized to be negotiated by existing liws, amounted on the Gtli of July last to about 'i-",7()0, 000 ; but by the pur- ch se of about Ii-ilf a million of fundedstock of the United States, the dtrbt has reduced in that amount, and is now very little more than 05, 000,000. Of this debt, forming as it does a sum almost insignificant in comparison with the im mense and i:ic llcul ible v.ilue ofthe acquisitions which it has giincd for us, the President again ami most earnestly urges the earliest practica ble payment, and recommends to Congress that such payment should be a cardinal point of their public policy; involving, of course, economy in all expenditures, and their confinement to such necessary objects as arc clearly within their con stitufioual powers. To the wisdom and patrio tism of this recommendation, every patriotic American should cordially respond. In the existing revenue tariff, no alteration is recommended. It has increased our revenue. It has widolv extended our commence. It has carried our treasury in higff credit through a distant and ' foreign war. It lias sustained our national pros perity in the midst of the political and commer cial convulsions of Europe. Nor has the con stitutional treasury, susceptible though it may be some useful modifications, such as have hereto fore been recommended by the President and Secretary ofthe Treasury, worked less admirably. It has preserved us from commercial fluctuations 'during periods of immense influx and reflux of specie consequent upon the condition of European markets. It has disbursed more specie from the treasury within three years, than was so disburs ed during the fifty-seven years previous. It has conducted the financial operations ofthe govern ment during a period of war without the loss of a dollar, and with war loans alw ays at a premium. In these facts, to say nothing of its other advan tages so powerfully and convincingly insisted on in the message, surely may be seen abundant rea son w hy such a system should not be abandoned. HON. ROBERT STRANGE. Some of the friends of this gentleman may be a little surpris ed that fl. some of the ballottings for Supreme Court Judge, he did not get the full vote of the democratic party. But we are assured by a friend -at Raleigh, who is conversant with the facts, that the matter is explained in the fact that some ofthe members found it necessary to pledge themselves, during the canvass, to cast their vote in a different direction. There is not the slightest intimation that the Honorable gentle man has lost favor with the democratic party in any degree, either personally or politically. On the contrary, w e are assured that his popularity with his party is of the strongest character. (Xf- Talking ofthe formation of Gen. Taylor's Cabinet, some of the w hig papers grumble that such and such names are not mentioned. Where upon the Washington Union remarks that Gen. Taylor " will soon learn the embarrassing truth in natural history, that there may be more pigs than teats." CHANGED AGAIN. We learn from the Washington Union that on the 1th instant, last Monday, the great southern mail was to have been, and probably was, changed from the Bay route to the old Railroad line by way ot Richmond. After a portion of our paper was mailed, w received the following despatch: BIT TELEGRAPH FOR THE CAROLINIAN. Standard Office, Raleigh, Dec. 8, S o'clock, p. m. Jfo iailportant business has been transacted since Mon day last. A great number of bills have been introduced. On Thursday, Augustus C. Moore, Esq., of Chowan, whig, was elected to the Superior Court bench. Daniel Cole man, Esq., dem., was elected Solicitor for the 6th Circuit, over Hamilton C. Jones, whig. On Thursdays one ballot for Supreme Court Judge resulted-, for Strange 75; Pearson. 65; Battle 29. On Friday, the result of two ballottings was, for Strange 81; Pearson, 68; Battle 18. Steele's resolutions were taken op yesterday in the Com mons. The whigs tried to ptave off the question A mo tion to lay them on the tble was negatived ayes 51, noes 66; yeas all whigs but one ! ' bably aware that the "Metropolitan" route has been surveyed by an experienced Engineer of Boston, at a considerable cost to the citizens of Fayetteville, and that he has reported that this connecting link cannot be built for less than $1S,000 per mile ! And more than one-half the route over a very level country, at that. Now, if this estimate be true, what becomes of the Governor's estimate that a road from Raleigh to Charlotte can be built for $10,000 per mile, over a more rugged country ? And we have said that this recommended route would carry the produce ofthe western counties to Charleston or Petersburg, instead of to the market towns of North Carolina. But we are also of opinion that if the State shall determine to subscribe to the building ofthe road from Ra leigh to Charlotte, as recommended by the Gov ernor, instead of by way of Fayetteville; and should make no provision for a road from Fay etteville west, to intersect it, then it will become the duty of the citizens of Fayetteville to dili gently enquire into their interests: they will see that building railroads is not the way to bring the produce of the west to our markets. We do not want a railroad for that purpose. Turnpikes or plank roads are the only improvements that will effect the desired object. And if we would only make one manl effort, and build a road 50 or 100 miles into the interior, the produce of those regions would find its way across the Ral eigh and Charlotte railroad, to Fayetteville ! Is there a sensible man that will deny this, when he looks at the condition of North Carolina: Yes, with one or two good plank roads or turn pikes to Fayetteville, we may, and we can, defy all the railroads that can be built. Common sense declares it. If a connecting link, which will secure the through travel, is desired, the route from Raleigh to Camden, passing through Fayetteville and Che raw, and thus crossing the Cape Fear and Pecdee rivers at the head of steamboat iravig.ition, is the true route, and we firmly believe, the only route th.it can be built with any prospect of benefitting t'-.e Raleigh and Gaston road, and relieving the State of its liabilities. The population of North Carolina is thin; therefore railroads cannot make a living except it oe upon a great inorougniare ot travel, i tie farmers of North Carolina (as has been before ably argued) would much rather waggon their produce to market themselves than to send it on a railroad, and have to trust to an agent to sell it for them. One Plank Road would not be five years com pleted before another one would be projected, such would be the animating effect both to town and country. Undoubtedly we desire to build the Metropoli tan road, to put us on the great highway of travel; but as the State has failed to give any counte nance to it, and it is a project beyond the means of individuals, we must turn attention to some thing that can be accomplished. And it is by no means an impossibility thdt the building of good roads to the west may yet enable the friends of te Metropolitan route to accomplish that pro ject too. If they will put energy into their efiorts, there can be no doubt of the result. THE COST. A calculation has been made of the cost of the time consumed in organizing the Legislature, and the amount laid at the door of the " locofocos." Now such a trick as that, is as bad as the scurvy acts that unfortunate moth ers, sometimes commit, of leaving their fatherless children at the door of their more fortunate neighbors. It wont do to trj' to make the "loco focos " fathers of all that expenditure. As par ties are equal, the parties must bear the bur then between them. It would have looked more candid, too, to have mentioned the 2000 that the whigs alone are re sponsible for expending in 1844, when they lack ed one of having a tie in the Senate ; and yet Mr Joyner, their candidate, voted some 27 times, with " unbecoming pertinacity, as the Register would say. 30TH CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION. On Monday, 4th December, both Houses of 30th Congress, assembled at 12 o'clock in their respective Halls. IN THE SENATE, there were 41 members present. Mr Mangum of N. C. absent. IN THE HOUSE, a large majority of the members (17S) were present, including all from North Carolina. The two Houses appointed committees to wait on the President, and inform him that they were organized, and ready to receive any message he might have to communicate. Both Houses then adjourned, so that the mes sage was not sent in until Tuesday. Tuesday, Dee 5. In both Houses, to-day, the Message was read. The Se nate ordered 10.000 copies, and the House 15.000. Both Houses adjourned on Thursday until Monday the 11th. SOUTH CAROLINA ON SLAVERY. The Hon. Joseph A. Black has introduced re solutions in the Senate of South Carolina of the following purport: That South Carolina will consider any attempt by Congress to exclude slavery from territories south of 36 degrees 30 minutes, a gross violation of the Constitution, and a wanton insult to the people ofthe South. That should such an act be passed, the' Governor of South Carolina is di rected immediately ta convene ine legislature thereof. CHOLERA IN NEW YORK. We learn from the AVashingtoo Union that ten cases of Cholera in New York city hare terminat- . ed fatally. j GEN. TAYLOR AND THE SOUTH. J The Baltimore Sun of the 1st December pub lished a letter from its Washington correspond ent, in which the correspondent said he was per mitted to publish an extract from a letter that had been received by Gov. Brown, member of the House from Mississippi. The letter was written to Gov. Brown by F. L. Claiborne, Esq., of Natchez, brother to the Hon. Jno. F H. Clai- borne. This letter from Mr Claiborne says that Gen. Taylor has thrown off all guise, and in a conver sation with Mr S. S. Boyd, distinctly and earn estly declared that when the north should at tempt to interfere with slavery, he would be for drawing the sw ord and throwing the scabbard away. As this letter is said to have produced some excitement at the north, we suppose we shall hear more from it, either confirming or repu diating its statements. The following article from the Raleigh Regis ter will throw some light upon the question of abolishing the County Courts, which abolition it is thought will be accomplished this session; and we hope it may be, so far as we know any thing ofthe subject, which is not mucfi. TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE. Gentlemen: In connection with the recom mendation of Gov. Graham, on the subject of our Judiciary, I beg you to examine the following estimates, from the Finance Books of different counties : Average expense, per term, of the County Courts: Pay of Justices ; 40 00 Per diem of Jurors 113 20 Mileage of Jurors 21 00 Pay of Court Officers 12 00 Extras to Sh'fTs, Clerks, &.c. 35 00 $223 20 Multiply this by 4 (terms a year) 4 SO Expense per term of Superior Courts : Pay of Judge 90 00 Pr diem of jurors (1 day more) 144 00 Mileage 21 00 Pay of Officers (1 day more) 13 00 Extras to Clerks, Sherifls, &-c. 3 00 Pay of Solicitor, 20 00 023 00 Saved to each county a year, fco'V b0 Multiply the sum by the number of counties, and you have the item of $'43,720 60! saved per annum to the State! equal to half her revenue ! " Think on these things." ECONOMY. LOBBY MEMBERS. We perceive by the Wilmington Commercial that a committee, con sisting of Messrs Henry Nutt, II. L. Holmes. M. London, W. N. Pden, and Wm. C. Bcttencourt, have been appointed by the town Commissioners of Wilmington to go to Raleigh to " enforce the claims of the Wilmington and Manchester Rail road '"! This is a highhanded game! Let us see how it would work, if carried out by other parties of he State : The towns ofNewbern, Washington, Edenton, Milton, Greensboro, Salisbury, Char lotte, and Fayetteville, all have an interest in some scheme of internal improvement. Suppose we all send lobby members up to bedevil the members of the Legislature, and teaze them with demands for appropriations, or other favors, for our particular schemes? What a disgraceful sight that would be! FORTY-FIVE commissioned beggars dangling at the elbows of the law-givers ! QCJ- By a late order of the War Department, Brig. Gen. David E. Twiggs has been stationed at St. Louis, Missouri. Gen. Wm. J. Worth, Major General by Brevet, is ordered to the Texas and New Mexico command. He has not yet fixed upon his headquarters. The 3d and Sth Regi ments of Infantry will be attached to this cim-mind. NEW MEXICO. The people of New Mexico have pronounced against the introduction of sla very among them ; and we see by news in the St. Louis papers, that they not only say they do not desire its introduction, but petition Congress to protect them against its introduction. They have authorized the Hon. Thomas II. Benton and Hon. John M. Clayton to represent their inter ests in the Senate ofthe United States. Cd- A letter from Lower California, dated Aug. 12, 1S4S, says it is as hot as it can welt be, and the country perfectly destitute of egetation. The cactus plant grows like a tree, 30 feet high and 2 feet in diameter. The natives build houses of it by splitti ng it into plank ! The natives eat the fruit of it, which is very good. All kinds of tropical plants are grown there. The writer says California is a good place for lawyers. It will never make, he thinks, much of a grain growing country, but will afford a fine market for the surplus of the rich western and southern States. Six months of the year it does not rain at all in some parts of California. fjCf- The Steamer Columbus, a regular packet between Charleston and Baltimore, in a heavy sea off Cape Lookout, on last Sunday morning about 2 o'clook, ran into and sank Schr.

I now offer to sell my McRae tract of Land, containing 100 acres, situated on the east side of the Cape Fear river. 3 miles above the Clarendon Bridge. It is wood land, ex cept about 12 acres.

They ask no protection no national banks, "that they may live on the industry of others. They ask for equal laws and equal rights they are opposed to all manner of monopolies, and are capable and willing to live bv their own industry. What a republic is the northwest! Look at her!

But let the duties 011 impoits be wholly aboli shed, and free trade with all the world be established beyond the hope of disturbance, and the Whig party must perish like a creature deprived of air and food.

"Tetter from matilda l. ukvkm'okt.-The following" is an extract from a letter written to Dr. Click ener. by Matilda L. Oevenport. of Philadelphia, who was cured of an" inflammatory Rheumatism, by the use of Clk-kener's Sugar Coated Vegetable Pills; aftes every oth er means had failed : - I)ar Sir. " It iswith emotions ofthe greatest grati tude that I address you at this time, and believe me, I speak the sentiments of my beart when I assure y.ou that through your means I am now enabled to move in tpe land ofthe living. About six months since I was attack ed with the inflammatory rheumatism, and consulted the best medical advice in the city. Different medicines were given, and the utmost attention paid me but all was of no effect, and I thought I was doomed to linger out an exis tence made wretched by eitreme physical suffering. The physicians said that they had done all. and promised my speedy departure to the land of spirits. When tbey had given me over, so low had I become that it was impossible to stir a limb without the greatest exertion, and even then every movement was excruciatingly painful. At thia time a near and dear friend recommended to me the use of Clickener's Supar Coattd Vegetable TilU. stating at the same time that they if anythiug. could afford relief. Be ing on the verge ef despair, and ready t grasp at whatever promised relief, I commenced taking them according to to direction. In one work, etrange aa it may seem, my f aius left me. my health waa restored, anil became a new and different being. I am gradually gaining my strength, my appetite is god, and the disease is wholly driven from my tystem. - Excuse me for troubling you with, this statement, bnt I am so much rejoiced at my speedy recovery that imperi ous duty demands aa acknowledgment of the method of cure." .
