lite flowing resolutions were unanimousIf
adopted by the Railroad Cnti vcnttbn
which met at Ashevi'le, on the SOinS
Jieaolvcd, That in the view of the Con
vention n communication bv railroad with
?. the seaboard is necessary to the full development
of the resource# of the country and
the energies of its ciliz ns;-and that our desires
are as strong ati-1 ardent as they have
ever been to have the work done.
Hetohed, That we have confidence in the
integrity and anil .of the "Greenville and
French Broad Railroad Company,** and that
we urge them by nil honorable means to
press forward to the completion of the work
which they have begun.
Hesofoivt, That in the judgment of thi*
Convention the interest of the Stale of North
Carolina, and especially the interest of the
Wo^tnri. ntilllil Wts itl flirt Kl iltt* W it 1111 lut moid. I
ly promoted by an early extension of m>iiic

construction nut of ihelMueKidgcin thi-Stnte
to a point or point* on the western bonier* of
North Carolina, to connect with the railroads
projected or now being built in the

six weeks since, mid though lie performed
with great success severa. nights, it was evi

on his strength.
Ho whs taken down four weeks ago. and
tiA* withstanding all the attention and advice
of the voiy host ir.edieal practitioners, he
gradually failed, and died, at last, from a
congestion of the brain. He was in the 41st
venr of his age. lie is to ho hmied to day,
and will, we learn, he attended V?y the Ma

Mr. Macaliistcr was a Scotchman hy hiith

Professionally, he has visited Franco, Spain.

A Woao to SourilEUN Merchants.?
We were shown a letter yesterday from r.
Philadelphia correspondent of a house in
this place, a pail o| vvhich surprised us very
much. It is this: The limine here had ordered
matciia.'s i?> be purchased for thenr by
tlieir agent, from a house with whom tiiey
had been trading, which was executed as
supposed upon the usual terms, four or six
months. On the next day. to tbe surprise
of the ag nt. lie receive-! h message staling
that the he.nl of the firm had "concluded
that it was nut desirable to receive any
Southern p iper owing to the political difii
cullies between the North ami the South,
but wouM sell fur cash." The agent very
properly j-etumed in reply, that "if theso
were |.is feelings he would not buy from
iiiin on any terms whatever.'' Wo also understand
that another merchant who had
purchased from am-ther firm in Philade!
tibia, goods ij his line*, on going to New
York, and seeing a card expressing similar
feelings to the uhove, ho immediately sent
them word that they need not pack his goods,
for he would not receive them. The houses
referred to above are L>. Scull <fc S-.n, and |
Morns L. ilallowell. Now our opinion lias \
always been that if our merchants had declined
purchasing their goods at Philadelphia
and New York and stopped at Haiti
more, abolitionism would have been nipped
in (he bud. Ailed a maw's interest and
you will aoc.n bring him to terms.

The ladies of our village and vicinity deI
serve much praise for the handsome style in
which the late fair was conducted. A great
vaticIV of useful and ninnnicntnl ni-ii..l<w
were presented. Among :lie artistic we nodeed
a most beautiful and exquisite piece
<?f embroidery, the woikmnnship of Mrs.
Brkda, of our village. When properly
conducted ? (as al! the fairs are which
ihe Indies of our Pistrict have anything to
lo with)?wo believe these exhibitions of
kill and industry afe calculated to do much
good. Beside thu noble object of tai-ing
funds for benevolent pit: ports, the bringing
together of our citizens tends to enliven and
improve the moral and social f? clings of theii !
nature, and ai*o begets a spiiitof cimtlalh n i
for the accomplishment of good. Success j
to the fair and their fairs.
It will" be seen tint the I.allies of ih

She was licensed by Mrs. Baldwin of hav- I

I hat, in order to prevent detection, she, 'or ?
some one else, conceived the plan of causing l

every day, and peihaps kept i* dissolved in
