1 RaLKIGH, Dec 15th, 1858. Gkntlimen: I left home before your letter informing me, officially, that Ij had been elected a Judge of 'be Supreme Court, arid requesting mo to accept the high trust, had arrived there; and I have just received it. i No event could have beau more unexpected by me. or have created more surprise. When, at an advanced age and after long service, I heretofore resigned a seat in that Court, it was with the sincere desire of enjoying the repose and quietness of private life and I thought I had then laid down the carea and responsibilities office forever.

It would not be sincere if I were to conceal that it is painful to find myself disappointed. To give up my retirement is against my feelings and breaks up all my plans for the short remnant of my lile; and, after abandoning for six years the study of the 1 fewl, and I fear others will at the age of seventy-one, it i an act of rashness, unsuitable to that age, to undertake again the labors of the judicial station, to which I am called. Bnt has pleased the General Assmbly to tender this renewed expression of confidence in my diligence and fidelity. nd in a manner which touches my senabilities most deeply so -that am led to Tbel.eve tha, their opinwn and that of the countrr, it is my duty to enter once more into the public service. Under the circumstances I suV supine it to be obligatory on tno to obey the com mands of the Legislature, i Thererore.

7 EST" The interest which our neighbor States, of South Carolina and Virginia, tke in our afiairs is refresh ine, if not flattering, and reminds us of that tolicitude displayed -by a creditor towards his debtor, or a guardian towards his ward, whom he designs keeping in a pei petual minority in order that he may continue to employ the resource? of said ward for his own use and behoof, Of these solicitous good neighbors of North Carolina, Ex-Governor Morehead ia the especial fa-vorita. He is their prophet and the Danville connexion is his especial mission tha work which be is to effect the new gospel which he is 10 preaah, in order that Virginia and South Carolina may maintain their favorite relation of two States using, for their own enrichment, the resources of an intervening strip or lana, put down on the man as North Carolina, ha vine the number of S.

The Columbia SJuth Carolinitn says, truly, that in that State "tha effort now being made to secure a charter for the Danville connection is regarded with lively solicitude." No doubt Of it. So it is in Virginia.

It ia a task alike thankless and 'profitleu to impugn the motives or question the impulses of individuals, and it is one that we would never voluntarily impose upon ourselves. We regret that a similar reticence has not been deemed necessary by the advocates of -the Danville Connection, or that their zealj should have load them to speak with hardness of their fellow citizens in other 'rts of the State, especially in this section, accusing them of illiberali ty, sordid views of interest, while the cry has been taken up by others whose feelings ought to be more in common with those of the people of their own seaport and thus it has been sought to gel up a hostility against Wilmington by accusing her of asking for everything, and getting it, too, although, when the figures of what she has got are asked for, it will be found that she stands among the lowest upon the 1 1 of beneficiaries, while she most certainly stands first in the amount she has given towards developing the resource of the State. She does not claim to be the State, but the does claim to be a part of the State, and to have done nothing to forfeit her rights as such. nor dote he see why patriotism or State pride should cause her to defer to the. interests of Virginia or South Carolina towns, or ceaso'to oppose projects intended to pervert the internal improvement system of North Carolina to purposes and, ends not intended by its projectors, but to guard against which one of their main ob- Wilmington Journal.

THE FUGITIVE SLAVE AT BOSTON. The Boston Traveller, hs the following in relation to the escape of a fugitive slave from the. brig Wm. Purrington, below that port The brig alluded to is from Wilmington, N. and after leaving that port, bound for Boston, the captain found a fugitive slave concealed on board.

He was indignant thereat, and attempted to'put back, but Was prevented by head winds', and was also defeated in an attempt to make the port of Nortolk, Va. On arriving at Holmes' Hole he gave out that he should return the slave, and that he would shoot the firtt person who attempted to coma on board to rescue him. These facts reaching this city, a writ of 1 ha bens corpus was issued by Justice. Russell and placed in the hand ot Deputy Sheriff Irish, who On esday went to serve it, the vessel having arrived in the stream. On reaching the brig, however, the captain averred that the slave made his evape from the vessel in rome mysterious way on the night of tha 16' h.

He further said that a plank had been missing from the ves-el since tbat night, and was of opinion that he had escaped on that. The object of their, visit could not be found, and the officers returned without Judge Russell and about a dozen other persons were in the party which viit-ed the brig-. It is probable that the fugitive reach, ed Lowell's Island before the visit of the officers to tha vessel, from whence It' is said be reached this city in a sloop. Thk Mouroi: Mokitmxjtt -i-GoV.

THE WAR AKIXti POWER. We oopy paper a portion of a very excellent article cooimanieated by Judge of Richmood, to the IJoquirer of that city, and vrhiih has for its text the following remarkable declaration of Mr. Rachanan in lis Message i The executive goYermeht of this country, i -i intercoaraer with foreign nations, is limited to the employment of diplomacy alone. Vhen tht fkila, it can proceed no further.

"It cannot leiti mately teaort to forr, without the direct authori-tr of Congress except in r9istin(c and repelling hostile attacks. It would hare no authority to enter the trritorii- of Nicaragua, even to p-erent ithe destruction of the transit, and protect the live and property of our own citizens on their passag It is true, that bn a sudden, emergency of this character, the fVusident would direct any armed force in the vicinity to march to their relief, but in doing this h'a would act upon his own respon- ait-ility." i Jodge Robertson was once a distinguished Inembcr of Congress, and noted for his rigid construction of the constitution of the Uni-ted States. It does not, however, require a very nice examination of the constitution to-see that Mr. Baonanan in the language above quoted, professes a willingness in oer-tain contiogenoies to violate the constitution by making war on his own He himself admits that he "cannot legitimately resort to foroe without the consent of Con- gress, except in' resisting and repelling hostile attacks," but, nevertheless, says he'll do i. deliberately violate the Constitution which he has sworn to support.

Well Mr. Buehaoan has precedent for his pro-; posed -outrage upon the Constitution.
