BALEIGH AND GASTON BAIL ROAD. We find in the Raleigh Register of last j week, the third annual report of the com-j pany for constructing this road, together; with the report of the Chief Engineer. The j road it is expected will be completed to | Raleigh by or before the close of the present year. The income, per month on the j part of the road now completed, and in use, j 42 miles in length, is $3,183. The engi- j neer estimates the profits of the road when j completed to Raleigh, even if it should ex- j tend no farther, at 6 per cent per annum upon the capital invested. The following is the part of his report which relates to the extension of the road to Columbia. If the Road should ever be extended to ; Columbia, South Carolina, the stock would certainly be one of the best in the? Union.? There is scarcely n man who entertains a doubt of this. The friends of the work know it, and are anxiously endeavoring to find some means of prosecuting this extension. We see every day evidences of the opinions of those whose local interests are opposed j to this project. j Id a Report recently made on an exam- / < ination for an inland communication be ween 11 Wilmington and Charleston, by Mr. VV .ite, Civil Engineer, he says : "Let us tor a moment reflect what will be the consequences of neglecting or delaying the execuiion of this project. The line ot Rail Road wluc.i is now completed to RaMgh, would be pushed on to Columbia and Augusta, and then our already languishing portion of the State would be laid prostrate." This shows Mr. White's opinion of the merits of the Metropolitan line of travel. Tiie same Report mentions a fact which would be a strong argument in favor of the Raleigh and Columbia Road, even if the inland communication between Charleston and Wil. mington were effected. He says t4iliat during the sickly season, passen 401 s must be ^ North of Wilmington before sun-down."? ^ In short, it is almost too evident to nrgue. that if Raleigh and Columbia were joined by a Rail Road, the whole Southern and South-western travel would be brought over tl^Jialeigh and Gaston Rail Road. jRt us, for a momen\ examine into the j chances of this most desirable connection j being formed. Surely each S ockholder I in the Raleigh and Gas 01. Rail Roa J has j the deepest possible interest in promoting it Every Stockholder in any cf the Roads between Rahigh and Baltimore has n deep interest in this project. But no R 11 Road Company, not even the Raleigh and Gaston, has a deeper interest in promoting this work than the Charleston, Louisville and Cincinnati Rail Road Companies. There are two Roads now constructing which threaten to take the South-western travel from them. One is the Macon and Savannah, and the other is the Rru iswick City and AppnlachicoJa Road. If either of these i Roads is finished, it will take a larg^ portion i of the travel irom the Charleston and Ham- 1 burg Road. The only thing which can se.; cure them the travel will be the connection of Columbia and Raleigh by Rail Read. Nor has the Georgia Rail Road Company less to fear than the Charleston and Hamburg Road. The completion of the Macon and Savannah Road would draw off the greater part of this travel; and the Brunswick and Florida Road would deprive i them all of the travel from New Orleans. < These views are so plain, that the Charleston and Hamburg and the Georgia Rail Road Company, cannot avoid seeing their danger, and they will csrtuinly do any ( tiling in their power to obviate it. If there is a Rail Road made from Columbia to Raleigh, the Georgia Rail Road from Decatur to Augusta, the South Carolina Road from Augusta via Urunchville to Columbia, the Raleigh and Columbia Road, th8 Raleigh and Gaston Koad, a-c. would form a line which would defy ail competition. This route would be the shortest that could be travelled. It would pass through a perfectly healthy country, and it would avoid the danger of Steam Boat navigation at open sea. The City of Charleston would be very injuriously effected by the travel going through Savannah or Brunswick, for it would then pass Charleston in a Steam Beat, without stopping, so that neither the < City of Charleston, nor the Rail Road in which that City is so deeply interested, could 1 be affected otherwise than injuriously, by i the completion of this inland route from Charleston to Wilmington, and these other Roads in Georgia. If (ho Raleigh and Columbia Road were completed, the traveller from Charleston it- , self, instead of going out to sea, would go i North through Columbia, and pay a tribute | to the Charleston and Cincinnati Rail Road ? Company. I In reviewing the whole subject, we see ? that such a vast amount of capital is < dependent for its value on the completion j of the Raleinh ond Columbia Road, that wp> f cannot entertain a rational doubt of its beine ] effected at no distant period. This being the case, the Stock of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road Company, would be inferior to none in our country. , BAIL BOAD DEPOSITORY IN AUGUSTA. The South Carolina Canal and Rail Road | Company have presented a petition to the I City Council of A ugusta for the privilege 1 of exiending the Rail Road, by a bridge I across the Savannah River, and of estab- i lishing a depot on the Augusta side, with < such restrictions as the Council may deem : necessary. The petition was referred to the Committee of Nine, appointed by the i Chairman of the late public meeting, held < on the 22d inst., to report to tiie adjourned | public meeting, to be held on the 29th inst. j The object of the Company is not to es- i tablished a toll bridge, but merely to extend 1 the road to Augusta, in order to avoid the i inconvenience, and heivy tolls, attendant on < passing good? over the Augusta bridge.? I The town of Augusta owns ihe lands and j sn wharves bordering on the Georgia cide of; 01 the river, and their free usp for the road and j v( depository are asked by the Company. FLORI DA. We copy the following from the Tallahassee ^ Floridian of the 22d uit. 'h The extract of a letter from Mr. Poinssett to a citizen of this Territory, affords satiefac. 0 tory evidence that the Government htsresolv- R ed that under no circumstances shall the Se- f,j minoles be suffered to remain permanently in Florida. The Washington Metropolis, a pa. tQ per supposed to be in the confidence of the , Administration, edited by Judge T. J. Smith, lately of this Territory, confirms this determi- a, nation of the Executive, by information de- 0 rived from "undoubted authority." So far so ai good. We learn Governor Call has not been ti i fficially informed of the views of the Govern- s; ment since Gen. Macomb's arrangement. I, Sir?I take the liberty of requesting the pub fi lication of the enclosed extract from a letter from u the Secretary at War, which placs the arrange, ment made by Macomb in its true light. It clear- Ir ly shews that the Administration have no idea of substituting the armistice made by Gen. n Macomb for the Treaty of Payne's Landing. si "We must expect hostilities to be partially Cl continued for a short period after an armistice; ' but, I am of opinion that the arrangement made by Gen. Macomb will lead to the pacification j h Df the country and enable me to remove the In- Italians from the Territory much sooner than can |jj be done by force." ^Signed) J. R. POINSETT. Mrs. W nifred Galas, consort of Jsseph Giles Esq., and mother of one of the editors of the r< National Intelligencer, and wife of the other w editor, died at W shingfon, D. C., on the 26th ult., in the 79th year of her a^e. She was a lady tj of superior mind and great worth. Extract of a letter from Doctor Byrne, of the Armv? dated Fobt King, June 13. " i,v " Lieut.

Tile Wheeling (Va.) Times of June 10, s says ; ?? The post master of this city has shown us two letters received from men in Ashtabula, Ohio, which give the particulars of the concealment of fifeen fugitive slaves in the cellar of a man named Hubbard of a that place.

Patriot gives notice S? Df a novel decision in an action of Noah p, Fifield, vs, the Braintree and Weymou h S Turnpike Corporation, determined at the re last term of the Court of Common Pleas for the County of Norfolk, Mass. It was 8 settled that a person travelling over 6aid ra Turnpike upon the common and ordinary pi business of family concerns-?going to a w scrist mill, etc.?is exempted from the pay. I11 ment of toll. These exceptions extend to in procuring fuel for the fire und other necessaries for the use of a family, and such oiher cc business as necessarily appertains to the Jl' support thereof. It was adjuged in this gr' :ase that the plaintiff recover back the ;e( amount of money paid the defendants for toll while passing their toll gate for tho pur. th poses aloresRid. ti new gun. of We were shewn, a few days since, a |?j newly invented Gun, which, as far as we jy were able to judge of the merits of such death-dealing implements, is the most ingenious and effective we have ever 6eeri or cr heard of. It hus received the name of the Torpedo, and was invented by Mr. B. F. fo Smith, of South Hadley, Mass. and made w in that town. It is so constructed that the w cartridge, which contains the powder, brill,or shot, and wadding in their proper order, is w inserted in a chamber at once, and in a mo 80 mentoftime; and the discharge is produced by percussion, the result of a rod or 1 piston driven forcibly throuuh a cap to the powder in the chamber. With such facility is the process carried on, that the piece can I(l be charged and discharged ten timf-s in a rj, minute, or once in six seconds. The machinery connected with the gun is entirely m bidden from sight. It is said to be perfectly g< ife, and is considered a great improvement /er every other fire arm that has been in* * ;nted. Providence Courier. c ME. CLAY AT ASHLAND. The Rev. Dr. Humphreys, President of c mherst College, Mass., who is travelling ^ rough the Western States, gives the t Ho wing interesting picture of the great ^ rator of the West, as he appears in the t epublican simplicity of his delightful ii rm: c Happening to meet, and to be introduced s i Mr. Clay in the morning; he very polite- ; I invited us to call at his seat, a mile and half out of town, which we did at four 'clock. He received us with all the ease j nd urbanity for which he is so much dis- c nguished, and entered freely into convcrnion upon a variety of topics as tiicy r appencd to come up. It is delightful to I nd n great man so perfectly affable and \ naff'Cted ; and indeed this .sone mark of 1 ue greatness. Ashland is an enchanting spot. The lansion is simple, spacious and venerable; andiugjust on the border of a park of 'ghhj acres, which for the majesty and eauty of its thousand forest trees, is the nest I ever saw.

He has lately y irned his attention very much to raising l ock, and it is said that no man in Ken. icky, even, can show you finer oxen and , aws ihan he can. He spent an hour in j alking with us over his grounds, and de- < tined us, almost unperceptibly to ourselves, 1 II nearly sundown. , < HORRIBLE. Y?-st rd.ty morning a whole crowd of i eople were collected in front of a house in i roii? street below Ma?ket, their counten- | ices indicating the most painful and in- I uise anxiety.

HTIHE infcreased share of public attention JL which the subject of Female Education has ecently received, and the lively interest which is cgioning to be felt in its behalf are encouraging ligns of future improvement. The System wl licit ias long obtained in our country, it is to be fejfiet* ed, is radically defective in that almost exclusive ittention is paid to the ornamental to' the neglect . ?f that which is of primary importance. This desideratum, it has been the effort of Mrs. Greet, the principal of the Rockingham Fentaie Institute :o su pply ; and the result of the recent examination which we had the pleasure of attending,' proves that it was not without success# In th^s Institution the culture of tne mind is the cardinal Dbject of attention / and greater importance is formation of habits of clbee eiuowiicu iu %uv thought and protracted mental effort by which the mind is endued with strength, vigour and jlasticity, than to any given amount of cuAu:; information garnered up in the ''store house #f memory." The committee having attended the recent ex. animation, take pleasure in expressing the satis, faction they felt in witnessing the interesting exercises. We feel no hesitancy in pronouncing it equal, if not superior, to any examination of the kind we ever before witnessed; and the^ readiness and accuracy with which answers were given to the questions propounded, and the promptness and facility with which aeetitms end chapters of difficult fxUbooks were analized, did honour to the pupils and reflected credit on their worthy instructress. On the Evening of the same day we weirs highly entertained with the performanee| oflbe young ladies on the Piano Forte and Guitar; and though we are not professed connoisseurs, the exhibitisn, we think, indicated that the perforin. era correctly understood the true principles of Musick. The exercises closed and we retired to osr respective places of abode, after havrog passed a highly interesting day. The health and society of our village ronderit a very desirable location for a female Institution y and when we add to this, the competencyfof the principal and assistant, the coramitt e take the pleasure in recommending the Rockingham Pe.?-/ male Institute to the liberal patronage ofap in. telligent public. . .??

July 5th 34 , 3f;, ' PROSPECTUS OF THE NATIONAL MAOAZINS AN 0 Republican Review; Jqiin L. Smith, Publisher and Proprietor. ? Throughout the civilized world the miuda 61 men are, to an unusual degree, employed in what comes home to the business and bosoms of ?c alt, the mode in which their Governments are administered, the principles upon which they act, and the measures which they pursue. Theso are the topics of newspaper discussion, and of debate In our various legislative assemblies. It is, however, somewhat remarkable thai in this country so few efforts have been made to sustain any periodical publication upon this principle, while in Europe, and particularly in CScaat Brit, ain, politics form the staple or many of tbsir moat valuab'e works of this description. The peculiar position of our country renders i.? xmunt nn nnsoicious moment fof undertA. king a peri >dical of this character- The coadttt is arrayed into two great divisions, one of which may be denominated the Administration, the oth? et the Opposition party. The conduct of the former is encountered by', it is believed, a larger proportion of numbers, a greater portion of intelligence, and a higher grade of prineipln^The Motives which guide the Administration party we conceive to be narrow and erroneous ?the doctrines they promulgate dangerous and! pernicious?the objects they have in view, andf the tendencies of their measures selfish and do. struetive. It is time that they be met with vigor and with systom. The gradual but obvious aggrandisement ofthe '' (idwerofthe Executive, at the expense ofthe egislatire and judicial branches of the General I Government, shbujd be exhibited to the public | mind. The plausible pretenses under which this design is furthered should be exposed. The systematic plans by which corruption is spreading itself troughout the land, the discipline which has been introduced into the party ranks, the undisguised and open interference of the officers of the Federal Government in the eleu. tions even of local officers, the regular levying of contributions for the purpose of carrying on the party warfare, the devotional loyalty to the heads of a faction which is now exacted, and the' proscription of those who refuse to yield it, are " all subjects which demand and ought to receive a more full and prepared exhibition than they have yet received. These topics will form, in connexion with general views of the foreign and domestic policy of the Government, a principal subject of oar attention. Though politics will constitute tlte principle fiortion of this Magazine, the interests of general iteraturO will not be disregarded. Essays on Philosophical and Moral subjects; Reviews and Critical Notices; Historical and Biographical Sketches, and especially essays connected with the vital subj -ct of Popular Education, will .be occasionally inserted. . t The publisher win cmorace suiutuiu lenities of improving or extending the plsn, which may be presented by increased patronage.
