WlUllMOTOM AMI) MaM'HRSTER Kulroam.—Wednesday the 128th inst, will long lie remembered in the history of our village, as the day of the arrival oftlie ears of the Wilmington and Man chester Rail Rond. They were hailed with delight by our citizens ns an earn est of the completion of this great en terprise to which we have looked with so much interest. The project, which all, hut friends, were wont to call chime rical, is now rapidly advancing under the direction of the aide President, aud the enterprising and eliicient corps oi engi neers of the Rond. The cloud and mists which for a lonir time hung over the enterprise have been dispelled, anil its' completion at no distant day is as certain as any ordinary human event. By the polite invitation of the officers •of the company, our citizens took an excursion to the junction on the 2Pth, and returned in the afternoon, with the passengers from Charleston, who came up on the train on that day. A harba- cuo in honor of the occasion w as pre pared by the citizens of the village, to which wo regret time did not allow an invitation to our friends from the sur rounding country to he extended in time. The asseinhlnge on Thursday, however, was large, and the occasion in w hich all were interested, passed otf to the gratification of all present. The cars leave Sumtervilie regularly ♦ very day, for the purpose of connect ing with the train on the Camden Branch in its various tri|w through the day. Persons wishing to visit Char leston, Camden or Columbia, from this place, now have an uninterrupted pas sage hy rail road. In the midst of our enjoyment of onr new privileges, we have us usual, something which does not exactly suit our taste. This, we would however, submit to, if it were not a matter so easily remedied. The mail is still conveyed hy the old route, hy way of Stateburg, and arrives at 8umterville some three hours after the passengers, hy the Wilmington and Manchester Road. This to say the least of it, is very tantalizing, and we hope that an effort w ill soon he made to have it changed, and put upon the Cars of the Wilmington-und Manches ter Rail Rond.—Black Hirer Watch man. A Letter from another of Cu ban Prisoners.—We find in the Mo bile Register a letter fcom Charles A. Downer, one of the Cuban priooners sent to Spain, in which he relates some of the particulars of the e\|iedition, and of its final result, and concludes his statement as follows: “ Again I say thus ended this expedi tion, and so it ought to have ended.— For an expedition raised through de ception, w here young men of no exjie- rience in*affairs of this sort are indu ced through false representations to join in a revolution, Cod's curse ought to he upon it, and the leaders should he made to sutler such torments as none hut de- 1 Darlington ling.

ONE WAY tITmaTe A DOLLAR. df life iiuuitHM haw more apparent, tha vestiges of raperetition and doubt in the minds of the people as to tha propriety of this sys tem have been dispersed, and it is found to be different in no essential principle from any other aociety whom object is the mutual benefit of its members, and the aid and comfort of the widow and or phan. The company above referred to is constituted on the strictly mutual priu- ciale, and all white persons who insure for any period of time are entitled to .hare in the profits of tha company, i.i proportion to the amount of premiums by them respectively paid. Upon a little reflection, the benefits of a life policy of insurance are clearly manifest. For in stance, a mechanic or any other person who has a family, and whose income is barely sufficient for their support, insures his life for 95,000, the annual premium on which will be 91 15, if the party in suring be 30 years of age. One half of this premium, or 957 60, is payable in cash, and the balance in a note at twelve months, with fl* per cent interest. If the party should die immediately after the first payment, his legal representatives will be entitled to the whole sum insured. If the party should live and annually pay his premiums he is laying up as it were in a Saving’s Bank, a fund which is con tinually increasing, and w hich his heirs are as sure to receive as that death is cer tain. Instances without limit might he given where widows and orphans have experienced the benefit of this wise and humane institution, but trine and space forbid their insertion. A minute detail of the particular operations of the company at Raleigh, which ranks among the first jn the United States, is impracticable in this place, but we will take pleasure in answering at our leieure any questious in relation to the same.

For similar rensona, we have hereto fore said little or nothing about thejaro- rredings of Congress. Cohgreas has not proceeded much the present ses sion; and what do we care, heyond mere curiosity, for any proceedings of Congress t Nothing will he done, or rather undone, for us. Congress is our supreme master, and we know it; and we know further, that we may as well “ hay die moon” as to think seriously of influencing the action of that body. Whether intervention or non-interven- tion he the order of the day, would have been a question of vital interest if we were free, and the government were pure; hut aa it is, we confess we do not feel any very great concern. We shall try to keep onr readers in formed, however, of any proceedings that would be likely to interest them. Verdict of Damages for Mal practice.—In the Court of Common Pleas, nt Cambridge, Massachusetts, last week. tl>e case of Thomhly vs. Leach came up and occupied several days. This was an action against Dr. Leach, for mal practice in performing a surgical operation ujion Mrs. Thom- bly’s thumb, in consequence of which mal-practice it was alleged she wholly lost the use of her hand. Some twenty distinguished doctors and surgeons tes tified in the case. The Court instructed the jury that if they found in favor of the plaintiff, the measure of damages would he such owner consented to their delivery > Bbnor) if Where** (a*id Ms Honor) if ho only looked a little deeper into the mat ter, he would have learned that, where the consent of the owner is obtained by the fraud or misrepresentation, of one having the previous intent to con vert them to his own use, such consent makes no difference, and he thus gain mg possession of the goods is guilty o* theft. Judge Evans also mentioned, in con nection with case, another fact worthy of note. He reminded the prisoner of his family and his race. He told him he belonged to a people now scattered and dispersed, but of an ancient and honorable fame, and once the most re markable of any nation. And this, the Judge said, was the first time, during his long connection with the adminis tration of justice, that he had ever been called on to sentence a Jew for theft. The way they Settle Towns in- California:—A Sacramento paper says that within twenty-four hours af ter the first great rush to the spot a towu, a little distance removed, was surveyed, mapped, subdivided into streets, squares.

Having recently received a number of applications for the benefit of insurance on the lives of slaves and white persons, in the North Carolina Mutual Life Insu rance Company at Raleigh^ for which we are agent, and being frequently questioned as to the nature of life insurance, we take the liberty of submitting a few explanw tiona on the subject generally, and the company particularly for which we are acting. Life insurance, until a very re cent period, has been little known or prac* :eiii need in this country; Its operation* hav ing been confined to a few European com panies. It has had to contend with tire prevailing prejudices of mankind, which suppos'd that the establishment of such companies was an infringement upon the decrees of that superintending Provi- dence which hath “appointed unto al ed to he, is a question of political ethics, upon which we feel the feebleness of our mortal ken ; ami which, with due submission, we leave the Doctors and wise men, and scriltes to determine.— But still the war (paper powder of course) proceeds. ’I’he Southern Stan dard and its angels fight bravely for co operation , flic Mercury and Carolini an, and their angels, form the chivalry of the resistance ranks.

The numWr of work men it employs at present is 200. Three years ago, a young man nam ed Greensmith, residing in Halifax, (Eng.) swallowed a full sized needle. Attempts were made at the time, by a medical gentleman, (but without suc cess) to force it in a downward direc tion. The young man experienced a painful sensation in the throat for a few days after, hut as time wore on it gra dually disappeared, and he recovered and enjoyed his usual health. At an early hour on Saturday morning he suffered from a painful head-ache, at tended with a peculiar sensation on the top of the heaa. On putting his hand to the part affected he felt the needle protruding, and gradually drew it out.
