Mr. Brjn, of Hanover, an Hmendment to ItMive out of the eounty that portion of Point District wbich lies on the oast of the Rail- road. Mr. Moore, of N. Hanover, made some remark iin fsvor of the bill.

Mr. Mearet said it could be eipwtei that! there was dnanimaus feeling dh ihe Th majority demandea H.and it was ror that.it should be passed. Mr. Kerr said it bad been irvtinuitel to hm that this county was dosired to be parted far some fancied benefit which might accrue to the opposition party. He repelled all such insinuation.

He did not believe them As for himself, he should vote for the bill, because he thought it via needed by the jit'oplo. Mr. Bryan, of N. Hanover, said that he bad" re-oetved a petition signed by 5 -voters of Kocky Point District against being in the county, and for their benefit be had introduced the amendment. Mr.

Moore, of New Hanover, Mid of course it would be of inconvenience to some. It was impossible, to pleane all.but as it was. more than two-thirds of the proposed county; were of it. He hoped the amendment "would be voted down. Amendment rejected and the bill passed yeas ..70, nays 27.." Mr.

Love moved to take np the bill "to incor-noratc the Savannah mining Company. Agreed fle otfered a substitute. Mr. Hill, of Halifax, was opposed to a substitute to a bill oh its 3d reading. Moved to recommit, which motion prevailed.

Scales moved to take up the bill concern-ting freedom of Sum Morphia Agreed to. He 'made some remarks as to good character of Sam his decent behavior, fec. Messrs. PritcharJ and Reeves were opposed to. it.

Kejected. A biH to abolish the office of State Geologist was taken up. Mr- Dortch moved to on the table; Lost-veas 45, nays 65. MrJj'erebee. If bill prevailed it not only j.trucx out frpm our Revised Code all as to Oeol-Vgy, out" alsoas to Agriculture.

He thought the law ought to remain, nnd lave it with the; Gov---ernor lh discharge or retain as the' case might be. Waters said that it had been asserted that the pi incipHliart of the opposition came from the west. Prof. iJmmons had never visited the "West, and that section had never received any direct benefit from him. Mr.

Williams came here as much opposed to Proff Emmons as any one. But after his. reports and the great amount of labor he has undergone he was convinced of the value of the man and his works, Mr. Morehead. Geologizing a State is ho small matter.

Things had to be laid off in a system. and it must be pointed out where one mineral was' tJ be looked for, and where another. Une portion, of the State might be purely agricultural, another of a mixed character, another more generally mineral, i He had on the former reading of this bill been mortified at the the exhibition of senti merits which had been brought before the House. Who is Prof. Emmons? One of the first geologists, not OnTy of the United States, but the whole His researches; in this State not -only gave us the credit of havingjtho highest mountain peak, and having made the first declaration of In- be gave to our State the credit of having also the hrst indications of animal life i here within our borders, and brought to light by the researches of Prof.

Emmons, were now known to rist the oldest f6il remains in the World. -He here read several extracts from the distinguished French Geologist, Mieon, sho wing how Prof. Emmons and bis opinion Was respected in foreign lands, also, a letter from Sir Chas. Lyell conceding i to Prof. Emmons a new and most valuable dis- J- covery in Geology.

And, said he, we see him standing among the first rank of learned men of the world. And the man who has rendered the Geological formation of North Carolina famous, is the one that this body is endeavoring' to turn; out. fWhyisit? Be-cause he does, not make great parade and show. He shrewdly suspected? Prof. Lanier with his horse and drum would now stand more chance to -make a great many believe him a learned man than Prof.

Emmons. Prof, E. was a man of retiring manners and modest appearance, as most really scientific and learned men are. Mr Kerr had been against Prof. Emmons, but bad changed his opinion on that subject.

Mr. Bridgers knew the value of his and spoke against the bill. Mr. Sparrow thought the survey was not a thiiiff for a dav nor a vear. Whv he had been i ljuormea, anq an reppris were true, tncre was '4 enough in Moore county alone to employ a man for years.

He thought the western members, instead of voting for the bill, should vote against it, as be having about: finished the Eastern counties, i would now go to the WTest. Mr Reeves, while he felt it his duty to vote for the bill, yet he.would say that on a former occasion he had used expressions which ha regret-ted, though it was his opinion that more had been attributed to him than be said. His on'y desire to abolish the" survey was that it was costing the State a large amount of money. Mr. Prof.

Emmons had never visited his section to examine itv Mr. Sparrow. The State had ben divided i. the east, middle" and west. Hehad gone over the eastArid the hw next visit would be to the west Mr.

Morehead sjpoke farther in its favor. Al-so, MrV, Ferebee, both exploded, the idea of ex-, I Mr: Misteu favored the repeal, alluded to some persons dodging the Rovenue bill, Mr. Sparrow, I never dodge any thing. I never lea' anv position I take. Mr.

Maten suid our bonds Were not high and credit good because of prof Emmons, but the promptness with which we meet expenses. Sparrow would refnark that in his section the State oqce expended $5000 to drain the Open OtoundPraine, supposing it to be of great richness. Pof. E. had examinined the soil and i provcxi it to be -This money therefore 7 s.ou wc una li uu a fvaie ure in time.

Mr. Jlerr was surprised to hear suh sentiments from the Was it not true Democratic principle to protect our interests We think Mr. referred to tne president a Message. j-r-He might conclude that the gentleman was about to undemocratic himself. Mr.

Bridge rs had been raised a democrat, hid cherished democracy from his infancy, had always followed itsjmnciplea, and it did not become a neophyte i the faith one who had not yet got ever his probation to dictate to him what the principles of democracy were. Mr. Kerr acknowledged his youth in democra cy. He Was never ashamed to own it. lie sea never felt those traces it threw around some others, and never expected to feel them.

But the gentleman had no great deal to boast ot when a neophyte beat him at his own game. I Much laughter.) Mr. Caldwell, of uuiuoru, was much amused at this pretty family fight. He was. a democrat himself, that is, he stood upon the Democratic platform as laid down in Jackson's inaugural.

And he thought we an might oe democrats and still be -very different That is, democracy somewhat like a sign be saw once going down the street it was spice, coming up it was cloves, and right in front it was pepper. (Laughter.) He was glad to see he had so many with him, his friends from Forsythe and Caswell all necphytes and good protection men. Mr. Beeves was tor protection oi Home. Mr.

Bullock spoke against it and made some remarks upon the Democracy in hand. Mr. Reeves said that he was a democrat, bag and baggage, but if this was Democracy he was none If any man in the State used strychnine, he hoped the Legislature would pass a law to hang him. After a discussion of some length and various amendments beingjjffered Mr. Fries' was adopt ed.

.1 Mr. Steele had nothing to do with the amend ment and could not support it. Mk: Pool said: The question is on the amendment of the Senator from Henderson. I am opposed to any amendment of the Bill, unless necessary to perfect it. Early in the session, a bill was intro-j puced, proposing to remove the section feature! from! the Charter of the Western Extension of the N.

C. Rail Road and referred to th Committee on Internal Improvemen ts, of which I have the honor to be a member. We took that bill under consideration and spent five or six days investigating its provisions in connection with the original charter and the at the last session of the Legislature. We found much depending on few words, and that it required the closest scrutiny to guard against making which might not, at fl rst, be apparent. After; much labor, that bill was jepprtod to the Senate, with a full understanding of its provisions.

The friends of the bill, seeing that it ould not pass, withdrew it, and offered a substitute upon which, the Committee were obliged to undergo the same labor of investigating its provisions In connection with former enactments. That substitute was then reported to the Senate, and discussed for several dnys-f-during which many amendments were of-fered'and some adopted. But it contained a removal of the section feature, and the amendments so confused the Senate as to its provisions, that, upon the final, vote, but one Senator was in favor of its adoption. The present bill was then introduced, and referred to the Comrfiiiteer-proposing no removal of the section feature, but only a change in the length of the sections authorized to be put under contract. After full investigation into its provisions, the Committee -reported it to the Senate, recommending its passage.

The bill has been printed and placed on tho desks of Senators, and they are well ttcqiiainted with its provisions and understand their meaning. Now, the Senator from Henderson is offering one amendment after another striking out some words and inserting others, or putting words between words, to the confusion of the whole maUer. 1 Understand the printedfbill, but if it he amended in this "offhand way," no one can fell where it will lead, or what will be the result of its enactments in connection with the original charter and the amendments of last session. I have become satisfied, from my investigation of the subject as a member of the Committee, that the most material and essential alterations in the Charter may be made by, apparently, very small and iasignificant changes in the phraseology of this bill. By simply striking out or altering the point of commencement, you might entirely defeat the great safeguard upon which we insist that each succeeding section shall begin where the preced ing one terminates, securing a continuous line of road with no gaps between.

The original charter pledged the State to subscribe $4,000,000 for the construction of the road. It was done as a kind of equivalent to the West, for large appropriations made to works East of the mountains. Yvitn the policy of the appropriation we have nothing to do, as' the faith of the Mate is pledged to tne company, and we cannot retrace the step if we would. But there was an express condition annexed to the manner in which it should be expended The road was to be so built as to have no gaps or unfinished portions between the works for if tbe appropriation should become exhausted while such gaps or unfinished portions remained, it was plain that there must be t-erious loss or a further appropriation. It was to avoid the danger vf having the necessity for fur ther aptropriations forced on the btate that the f-ection feature was adopted, requiring the work to be constructed in consecutive sections.

It was a wise provision, and I could not consent to see it removed. The road ought to be so constructed for then, when the are expended, we thall have a continuous line of road, as far as it will reach, and De under no necessity of increas ing the public debt to "cut out money buried in the mountains. But these sections are required to be of such length as can be constructed for $901,000 the State subscribing $600,000, upon an individual subscription of $300,900. The bill now before the Senate, proposes to diminish the length of these sections, by providing that, instead of requiring subscriptions on such a large scale, the State shall subscribe $100,000 upon each private subscription of and that tbe sections in ay be put un der contract, from time to time, of such length as $150,000 will complete but still requiring each section to begin wnere tne preceding one termi a ted. The words of the bill are, and the said portion of the road, so put under contract, shall commence at Morganton, the terminous of the first section of said road, and extend West, in the direction of AsbevilJe, and shall be so let out as that each successive contract, going West, must commence where the preceding one ended, so that vhere may be no gaps or unlet portions of road between the contracts." It further provides, that no more oi the road snail be put under contract.

than can be constructed, equipped and put in full oration with the appropriation heretofore made. All tbe precautions, as to the proportional payments by individuals and the State, are preserved. I think, we understand the bill, as it now is, and siiaii Know lor wnat we are voting, if no amend ments are made. But when you begin to amend to strike out and insert we cannot see to what results we may be led. I see no harm in the bill as it is, and I hope no ameadments will be made Indeed, I prefer to see the State subscription made gradually, $100,000 at a time, instead of the large suosenpuons oi i ne cnange is tavora bie to tne interests ol th? State.

It is a sort of feeling our way" as we attempt the mountains, whHt attUrd3 an of receding, without The faith of the State having Keen vr rv. I1 I he same good faith 'which I claim for the East muii oeooservea towards the St. I represent an extreme h.astern constituency, opposed to further appropriations at present, to new works, and favor- ng no appropriations to works already com men ced, unless mdisoensably necessary to save the State from great loss. But they are jealous of the honor of North Carolina, and would not tolerate Us violation. We say, take what has already been pledged to the work, but it must not be expended in suca a way as to raise tne alternative iof great loss or further appropriations.

We nxanj to keen uui cuujpiuuiises kuu pieaged iai with tn aud we ask the observance of the same good faith towards us, and that the compromises of thejCon stitutwn be kept inviolate that wemayhotbe Iwrassed by sectional differences, when we ought to be working together for the common welfare and for the honor of our native State, I hope no amendment will be made to the bill and that it will pass as reported by the Com miitee.

Mr. I urner wisnea to Know uu was me duj which a few days ago was so loaded down with amendments establishing branches to the Bank, and upon receiving an answer in the affirmative, aid he should vote against the bill on this account. r. Ramsay thought the branches pretty well distributed, one being at Beaufort, one at Golds-boro', one at WUliamston, one at Roxboro', one at Milton, and one at Salisbury. Mr.

Gowper said there was a bill before the Senate to establish the Bank of Salisbury, and asked if Mr. K. wanted both a bank and a branch of another bank in that town. Mr. Ramsay replied that he did not think the Legislature liberal enough to give him two banks, but he wished to take two chances, and even if they did get two banks in that' town they would still be behind other towns in this respect, Mr.

Worth thought a bank with branches should 'lie established at this session. But he was opposed to estabtishing branches by the Legislature. Ha thought capitalists would not take stock when this was done. He was for leaving this matter to the stockholders, and should for this reason vote against the bill. Mr.

Bledsse hoped the bill would pass its 2d reading, and it could be amended by striking out these amendments on its 3rd readii.g. Air. Cunningham moved to establish a branch at Oxford. Kejected. Mr.

Davis moved to establish a branch at Concord. Rejected. Mr. Cowper called for the ayes and noes on its passage. i The bill.

Mr. Gorrell offered an amendment to strike out the words or their equivalent" after the words gold or silver," which would provide that one-iifth of the stock shall be paid in gold and silver. Douthitt hoped Mr. G. would withdraw his Amendment, as he thought it would tend to cripple the bill this clause was incorporated in most of the bank charters in the State.

Mr. Gorrell offered the amendment in no unfriendly spirit. He expected to vote for the bill, but wanted a sound specie bank. Mr. Douthitt only asked that this bank should placed on terms of equality with others in tbe Stte.

Mr. Gorrell's amendment wa? then adopted. Mr. Speight an amendment restricting the Issues of the Bank of a less denomination than $5, whtch jitter Rime discussion in which Mr. llrown favored and Mr.

Ed ney opposed, was adopted. Mr. Leach, an unimportant amendment, which was adopted. Mr. Leach, an amendment allowing the Dspection of iheprivate accounts of Bank in tend of the statement of them.

Kejected. Mr. Steele, a substitute to tbe 15th section, levy- ng a tax of 15 cents on the share, which was adopt- d. Mr. Worth should oppose this bill.

He was for large bank with branch, and for making it the fiscal agent of th State. The opposition to banks with branches in most cases originated with per- ons residing iu the immediate vicinity of local anks. Mr. Steele wished to know if Mr. Worth in tended his Inst remark for him.

Mr. Worth intended the the remark for no Sen- tor, or section, in particular, but as a general ne Mr. Steele expressed himself satisfied with this xplanation. Mr. Douthitt said he had voted for chartering the only large bank with branches that had come lp.tbis He was not ai selnsh as to wlsn oca i bank ln section and deny the same tning i sai the question might be asKed, wiri.l iius liexmgtnn ot a nisume would only permit him to give a short answer to his Question.

Lexmeton. the county town oi Davidson, was situated on the North Carolina Rttilroitd, 1 15 miles from Kaleigh, in a most fer- ilc region of Country. Within the last few years, he agricultural productions had increased a onsidorable extent, indeed, in the last lo years hey bad increased threefold. As their productions ncreased, in a like ratio their need of a bank m- reased If the Legislature desired to see es- tern produce in the East, it must give more bank- referred to Drl Holt report at tne last mung g-j icultural Societv. in one vear Dustiela ol whent and about 2.000 barrels of flour had be exported from Davidson, together with aponsid- erul amount oi meai ano iodrcco.

in addition to this, there was a iler mine in the county where 100 bands were employed and which yielded an nually 450,000. There were no banks in tbe immediate neighborhood, and spoke of the banki ng capital of Lexington, Salisbury, Salem, He compared the amount of capital invested in the Sate or Uarolina and south Carolina, and snowed that the banking capital in South Carolina was much greater than in this btate. We want ed more banks, and appealed to gentlemen from the East to vote for the bill Mr. Miller said as there was a silver mine in the county, he thought it would be a good idea to begin wun a gpeci sis. Mr.

Douthitt said this mine alone would give the bank exchange to the amount of $50,000 per annum. Mr. Ramsay said he expected to vote for the bill, but thought Salisbury pre-eminently entitled to a bank. If, however, he could not get a bank at Salisbury, he would n-H go against others having banks. Mr.

Cherry said he thought they were likely to get banks enough in ths State it they wont on at present rate. Mr- Speight was for large banks, and the question being on the passage of the bill its 2d reading, he demanded the ayes and noes. The bill then passed ayes 22 noes 17. I RECONSIDERED. Mr.

Dobson moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill concerning the militia wss on yesterday postponed till the 4th of July. Mr. McDowell moved to lay this motion oc'the table. Rejected ayes 16 no-s 21. The vote wan then reconsidered aves 21 ro 16.

THE WESTERN IXTIN3ION. The hour of 11 o'clock having arrived, the Speaker announced the bill to amend the act incorporating the Western C.

Mr. Kdney offered an amendment leaving it to the stockholders to build the road either through the Swananoa or Ready Patch Gap, arid allowing them to adopt the line and connect with the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad, and supported his amendment in a few remarks Mr.

Thomas thought Mr. E. had changed his position, or offered tho amendment with a view to kill the bill. He wished to know of Mr. Cherry if he, did not remember the original idea to be to connect with Chattanooga Mr.
