Fro ii t!?.' CoIuui'?ii Telescope. NORTH CAROLINA AND THE RAIL ROAD. My attention lias just been called to an Editorial ar iole under the above head in the Carolina Gazettee, published at Rutherfordton, North Carolina, on the 29th Sept.? That article is evidendy written upon the .authority of a member of the North Carol! na Legislature, and requires a few words from me. The statement is as follows, j "A week or two since, we stated, that j the South Carolina commissioners, who were in a tendance in Ralegh, last winter, j jand who procured the passage of the char- j ter, authorizing the construction of a Rail I Road, from Charleston to Cincinnati, induced the belief upon the minds of many members of the Legislature that the Road would certainly enter North Carolina as .'ar East as Broad River. We know it to be a fact that a member of the Legislature pro- j posed iutmdming an amendment to that eilect, but was dissuaded by assurances j 1 Voln the commissioners, that there was no doubt but that it would be located on that route and that the amendment might perhaps cramp, in some decree, the operations of the Company. This being the state of i facts, wo-cannot persuade ourselves, tliat | our South C ir<i'in i brethren, who have ever ; been distinguished for their high sense of! honor, will consent that it should be located ; on any other rout<\ At a meeting of the Joint Committee of the citizens of C.mrlcston and Columbia, i bold in Columbia during the Session of the Legislature in December last I was rcques- j t?.d to attend the North Carolina Legislature, then in session, to give such information and assistance as might be desired to ! procure the passage of the Charter of the \ projected Rail Roaii from Charleston to ! Cincinnati, Being an officer in attendance ' upon the Legislature, the ;KTinission of that; body was necessary. It was given by a I joint Resolution, and so far and no farther,! could I be considered as representing the State of South Carolina as a Commissioner. Before my d?-parture for Raleigh. Col's. G idsden and Brisbane, and Maj. Holmes, 'returned to Columbia from their reconnoisunco. It wis considered important that as much informa'ion as possible should be laid liefbru the North Carolina Legislature, and Col. Gads-Jen was prevailed on to accompauy me. On our arrival at Raleigh, we found the ' charter.as oasst d bv South Carolina already I before the Legislature, having had two ! readings in the Senate, where some altera- j tions, reserving irnjmrtant privileges 10 ynrth Carolina. were under consideration. The , host and most liberal spirit prevailed towards tin* great work; hat tie reservations alluded to were eventually at the 3rd reading inserted in tin; Senate. At our returns', and upon oar representing that South Carolina had ' reserved none for herself, and upon our j throwing ourselves upon the libera! feelings of our sister State, that vote was reconsidered, ami the privileges reserved to North Carolina were struck out by a vote of 4 to 1, at least. The Dill then went into the IIousc of Commons. Maj. Jainc# Mc I). Carson,! called upon us and asked if wc would object to his ottering a clause requiring the loca-! lion of the road as far Kast as the Broad River, and sta'cd he had prepared or would prapare such a clause, if we did not think it would prejudice the undertaking. Col. ' (rudsden replied that from the report made by Col. Brisbane, he had no doubt, profies- ' vikimtlv/ <ar?,?:?tf inrr. that tin* road UlUSt be a> 0?V?"V*. J -J' - - Cated as tar oast as tho llroad River, and . jliat although he thought it won! I be better not to introduce such a clause, he believed the charter would be accepted with it. I i assented entirely T<> what Hoi. (Tulsden said j ;ln I Muj. Cirson ivplie I, that under these ' circumstance's, he would not press the j amendment. He never ottered it?nor was 1 1 lien; from any gentleman of the House of: (Vmmons, tiie slightest attempt made to im- ' pedo the charter, embarrass the scheme, or to insert any condition. The mo.'t liberal i leeling prevailed, and the charter was expedited and passed unanimously. North Carolina has on all occasions when called to act on tliis snbioc\ acted with the j most disinterested liheraiitv-sho lias reserved no privileges and exacted no terms.? ' For one, I have always considered that her conduct has put us under stronger obliga- : lions not to abandon her, than if she had extorted terms and conditions at our hand. F. II. KLMOKH.

Tiie statements appear al- ; most incredible ; and judging from the most 1 accounts we have before seen of Mexico, j we should be disjtoscd to consider some of the circuuis'ances mentioned by tlie gentle. , man as incidental, rather than general. But no doubt can exist that Mexico groans under the domination of tyrants?and many j of whom, are nominal minis ers of God? the most hellish of all tyrants. City of Mexico, July 15,193C. j Dear Sir :? " I am about to detail to you some things ! which 1 have seen in the republic of Mexico. 1 have seen 40 squads of 300 men each impressed against their own protes:ations, | and those of their wives and children, inlo : tha armed service of fha connfry. I have seen 000 men chained, with not a rag on to hide their nakedness, up to their middle in the common sewers ot the city, guarded hy halt* as tnanv soldiers, who, besides their arms carried large switches with which they unmercifully lushed the poor prisoners, if perchance they should shrink from or hesitate to plunge into a vile collection oi' the vilest tilth. 1 have seen a bayonet presented to the breast of a man for refusing to kneel in the streets when the Host was passing. | I have seen a man stoned for neglecting to doff his hat when before the image of the { \ irgin, or sain'. I have seen a man conveyed 300 miles ! to be incarcera.cJ, lor having written and ! published his honest opinions contrary to ! those of the general belief that Don Antonio I Lopez San hi Anil was just an good and I great. 1 have seen a forced loan levied virtually on foreigners alone, without any prospect of I repayment, to the amount of two millions of dollars. I have scon more than one hundred corpses interred in spots uiong the Darmina Del Ruy, where as many persons have been slain by brigands, or robbers. I have seen a general depository f?r the bodies of all persons assassinated in the cap ital. It it is here understood that the average daily number throughout the year is fire, making 1823 murders committed in this one city, in the course of 12 months, (an.I this coun'ry is called a republic !) I have seen doors of private citizens, and of public officers, and of the national assemblv, guarded by bodies of armed men. Vet ibis is called a republic! j' I have never seen a ranehero who was not armed with a sword, pistols and a lasso. I have rarely seen a gentleman who did not ride with !.ulsters at the pummel of his saddle. They a!!, without exception, go secretly armed. I have heard threats against foreigners proclaimed in the streets, and oaths taken that they should die the death of dogs and i heretics. 1 myself have been twice threatened, and tlie promises of vengeance tire the only promises which these people keep. 1 have not slept without pistols under my pillow, nor gone into the streets without being armed to the teeth. We are obliged to keep a guard at the door night and day. Last week the city of Oajaco was set lipon by about 100 of these men?they succeeded in forcing an entrance, sacked the citv, killed the foreigners, violated the nuns, an'1 set themselves down to a mcrrv feasting drawn from die cedars of the wealthy. The libera! party of this country have an immense majority of the people on their sid'\ but have heretofore been prevented from making any military movement for want of arms. The arms arc however in the coun'rv ; and as the old general said in speaking of the Irish under under similar circumstances, let the people take them. The flra'l alive.?An old officer on the retired list, living at Santes, in the Cliarcr.tc Inforicure, a few days ago fell into a lethargy, and was buried with military honors, under the conviction that life was extinct; but awakened by the firing of the platoon over his grave, which took piace before the coffin was covered with earth, lie made himself heard by his cries, was taken out, and walked home arm in arm wiih those who had Ixdieved tlit y had taken their best farewell of liiin. FRANCF. The French papers announce the formation of a now cabinet, which is thus stated : Count Molo, minister for foreign affairs and president of the council. M. Cmizot, minister for public instruction. M. Gisparin, minister of the interior. M. Porsil, minister of justice. M. Durhatel, minister of commerce. Admiral Rosamel, minister of marine. Marshal Monitor Molitor, minister of war. Ry tins arrangement it will be seen thattlie docfrinaries arc again in power, and we shall not be at all surprised to hear, before long, that the Duke do Brofifliw is reinstated as president of the council and foreign minister. We have long been of opinion that none but a doctrinaire ministry could stand, and that of such a ministry the I)ukc do llroglie must be the head. Ti:e King'has more confidence in him than in any other man. Count D'Argout resumes his former post as governor of the bank.

A forced loan of 200 millions of reals has been ordered. (Jen. Mina was so very ill that his life was considered in extreme danger. On the whole, the aspect of affair.- is rather favorable to the Queen. Don Carlos was very much in want of money, and urJess the ultra liberal spirit, which is now triumphant in Spain, is carried in the excess of revolution, it is probable that the civil war will soon be brought to a termination. The Constitution of 1812 is more formidable than an army to Don Carlos. MISCELLANEOUS. Royal Marriages.?King Otho, of Greece is to marry a Princess of the house of Oldenburgh, and Duke William, of Brunswick, is also on the eve of marriage with the King of Wirtemberg's daughter. Both of these ladies are related to the Kmperor of Russia, and the quidnuncs are speculating on the extent to which his influence in Germany and Greece will be strengthened by their marriage. The largest fire that there lias been in London for thirty years, broke out the 30th of August on the Southwark side of London Bridge, the loss is estimated at ?400,000 sterling. The use of money continues increasing in value in Great Britain, and 5} per cent, is the current discount on business paper. An ex^icHjsarrLighratefor any Europe Rrchange. CHER AW GAZETTE. TI KSDAV. OCTOBER 25, 1S3<>. * ! Tlie number of shares subscribed in tiiis j town to the Cincinnati and Charleston Rail j road was 200. In Charleston very great anxiety prevailed last week on account of the steamer William j Gibbons having left New York for that city I with passengers to the number of 200, and j I uot arriving lor a number of days after she was : expected. She went on shore at New Inlet between 20 and 110 miles north of Cape llat- ; teras on the coast of North Carolina, on the j i 10th and all the passengers were saved. The j i boat was abandoned as a total wreck. The i j account which we have seen does not state j i whether it was by a gale or not that she was I I driven ashore. | INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT CONVENTION IX SALISBURY A convention ot 131 members from 19coun-j ties in North Carolina, assembled in Salisbury on the 10th Oct. and continued in session three [ days. Its object was the opening of a com- j j munication by rail-road from Salisbury to some j ' other rail road or navigable stream cornmun'- ' 1 ! eating1 with the seaboard. There was not I ; tune to prepare a lull account ot its proceediligs for the Salisbury papers of last week ; j ! but they seem to havc*becn characterized by J i great harmony and much animation. The ! | following resolutions adopted by it we copy ! from the Watchma^. ' 1st.

( 2d. lie it further Resolved, Tiiat this Con-j vention doth recommend the adoption of this j principle, namely : that whenever any compa- j ny incorporated for the purpose ofintcrnal im-1 provcrnent, shall have subscribed and paid, or i secured to be paid 3-5ths of its stock, that the J i State shall stand pledged to a subscription for ' ! the remaining 2-ftths, 3d. Resolved, That in the opinion of this j ' Convention, the interests of a large, wealthy ( i and populous portion of the State of North t j Carolina, require the speedy construction of a j 1 ^ 1 *? 4 ?

Jacksonville, Oct. 13. We hear, partly from rumor but mostly , from undoubted authority, that the detachment of Tennessee troops have killed straggling In dians to the number of fourteen. It is to be hoped that the report and general impression are true?that even the swamps and hammocks of Florida afford no rate refuge for the Indian, from the bold and brave Tennesseeans. The question of command between Gen. Jesup and Gov. Call is settled. Gen. Jesup docs not claim it, but offers to take any coi# inand the Governor will give him. The Governor gives him the command of his own regulars.800 in number, and the Creek Indians, 000 in number. They left Tampa on the 23th ult. and are supposed to be on the Outhlachuchy. Military.?\Vc have good reason to believe that General Gaines has been recalled from his command in Texas, and that Col. Arbuckle will succeed him as long as our troops remain there. It is probable, however, they will be ordered info winter quarters somewhere iu our own undisputed territory. .Y. 1'. Courier cf- Enquirer. (i'h October, 1330.

LEVI. WOODBURY, Secretary of the Treasury. From the New York Evening Star. Presentation at Court.?We perceive by the London Morning Chronicle, among the presentations at his Majesty's late levee, was Mr. ' Charles II. Delavan, of New York, by the American Minister. Talk of aristocracy and royalty after this; we deny it in toto; tiie British Court and the British King are more orthodox and democratic than we are at Tammany. llere is our worthy fellow-citizen, Mr. Delavan, the son of a patriot of the Revolution j (the late General Delavan,) who sells the best hardware in the city, keeps the very neatest assortment' of balanced handled knives and forks, plated ware and scuttles, and is, withal i a line looking fellow, walks into Court with all ! the flower of nobility, foreigners and field mar- i shals, and makes as good a ligure as any of j the assemblage. After tJiis, we are quite cer- i tain that his store at the corner of Broom street | and Broadway will be thronged with the car- j riages of our nobility, gentry, and fashion. REMARKS BY TIIE NEW YORK EXPRESS. Mr. Vail, our Secretary of Legation, once i received a pretty broad hint, that he presented too many Americans at Court. Mr. Steven. J son is green yet. His eves will stare by and ; bv. If the English courtiers should know j that a New York hardware merchant was [ ;it Court. ;iil the lords and ladies of ! the household would bo in his hair. "AnAmeri-' can citizen" is pass enough in the Tuilleries, ) but at St. James or Windsor, a man must have a long-tailed title to his name. Many of our Yankee boys have a little office, and pass for a General or so. A General is a mighty big man in Europe, though many of them here much resemble, when in their " military splendor," the rich liveried lacqueys that ride be- 1 hind a Duke or Dutchess's carriage as it goes into the court yard of the Palace. John Dull is very much puzzled what to do with brother ; Jonathan, when Jonathan goes over sea. Other people from the Continent have a title to 1 their names, and a title is introduction enough; but we Jonathans, half of us at least, cannot ] for the life of us tell who our great-grandfathers were. Mr. Van Bnren it is said, when in England, claimed to be of the Kinderhook 1 t a mili/. Mr. Wilkins, we have been told, when on his return from Russia, was entertained with a magniffcent dinner at Windsor, sitting high among Dutchesses, with the Prin- 1 cess Victoria and all. They, it is said, questioned him closely about our families and rank. We have all the story, but. we don't like to put it in print. The anecdotes, however, were biquant, and Mr. Wilkins amused and interested his royal entertainers very much. John Bull, we Yankees have the advantage of you in point of rank. Wc are all noble born here ?all of the royal blood. Dukes and Lords, and Counts, and all that by patent right. If Barney O'Blannagan or Teddy O'Rourke will . emigrate here, we will give him a nobility paT~ :~n..
