The culled meeting of the Stockholders of the Greenville and French Broad Rail Road Company wu held at this place on Saturday After ascertaining that a majority of the Stock was rf presented, the meeting was organized, N.

W. Woodfin, President of the Company, in the Chair, and I. D. Sawyer, Secretary. rv U- mat frtrlVl thmt nothing of importance had been done since the lat meeting, owing to the peculiar circumstances which surrounded the work.

Mr. Woodfin was unanimously re-elected President, and the following gentlemen Directors W. S. Mills, of Polk county; V. Ripley, Henderson; I Vmttnn H.

Fagg, Madison. The day was very inclement, in consequence of which the attendance was not ao large as it would otherwise have been. The interest fult in tfee work is, we have reason to believe, increasing, and a vigorous impetus will be firiven it urine the summer. A public meeting on the subject will be held in Ilendersonvijle this week, from which we hope to hear a good account. Let our own citizens remember the meeting at this place next week, and make their arrangements to be present.

Much depends upon the action then taken, and it is earnest- 1 it Imnar) a (da nam will nnma nn and thus manifest the interest which we know they feel in this great enterprise. R. D. W. Your favor came safely to hand.

Thank you. Let us have that trip to "done up" to life. Send it aloof, do. The specimen is rich; let us have it in all its parts and proportions. jtJTThe Know Nothing party of Tsnnes-aee have nominated Col.

John Netherland, of Hawkins county, as their candidate for Governor. Gov. Harris, the present inc unbent, is the Democratic candidate, and will no doubt be re elected by a heavy majority. We are gratified to learn, as we do through a private letter, that the Hillsboro' Military Academy, which has been in operation but a few weeks, under the Superin ten Hurry We observe that the Raleigh Register, and other papers of that stripe, put down the reelection of Mr. Vance in this District, as a "fixed fact," It is to be hoped that these very modest gentlemen will not settle the matter definitely and irrevocably until the people of the District have had a chance at it It may be, and indeed is not at all un-Hkfclv.

that thev will take a different view of the case, and conclude to let Mr. Vance stay at home and practice law during the next two years. Our Know Nothing brethren had better "wait for the wagon," and not bag their game until they get hold of it. The old adage saith, "there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip." There are matters of grave concern involved in this Congressional canvass matters of far greater importance than the mere election of one man and defeat of another. Unless the Democratic party gain from eight to ten members in the elections to come off this summer, the Black Republicans will have a majority in the next House of Representatives.

Is there an honest Southern man of any party, who would not deplore such an event But it may be said that Southern "Americans" on all vital questions, will act with the Democratic party, and against the Republican. This is not so, however, as the history of the defeat of the postal appropriation bill at the late session of Congress most abundantly proves. On that occasion several of these watery jointed "Americans" did not face the music, and the Black Republicans had the game all their own way. The truth is, the Northern American members of Congress, with about half a dozen exceptions, have been fully baptized in the muddy pool of Black Republicanism, and now "talk nig ger" as flippantly as old Josh Giddings, the Prince of the House of Ham. The Southern Americans in Congress, as well as out of it, are contemptible in point of numbers.

Their speciality in Congress is to annoy and em barraas, as much as in them lieth, the Democratic party. They will suffer a bad law to pas, or a good one to be defeated, if by so doing they can make "capital" against the Democratic party. As a party, the Order is extinct; and as fragments of a party, their sole purpose in Congress is mischief, "and that continual Ought these "iropracticables" to be sent to Congress to embarrass the Administration Some of them will tell us that they endorse Mr. Buchanan, "in part." Precisely, and that means, just as far as they can huneyfug gle Democrats into their support, and no farther. The Southern people endorse President Buchanan, and it is due to his administration that they send to Congress none but sound, conservative and reliable Democrats.

A gain of ten such men will secure the freemen of the Mountain District contribute their part to this essential increase of the Democratic strength in Congress Giddings anp the Negroes.

Don't be in a A mnnc the numerous expedients which have been resorted to in evading the "Maine Liquor Law," the following is the most ingenious: i About a iurinigni since mmi kviu5u "Yankee manufacturer arrived tne goou city of Portland, In the State of Maine, ajd established himself and luggage at the Ekn Hotel. This luggage consisted ot a smsii valise and a large oblong box containing (fbr the inspectors bad) examined its contents) a quantity of books; richly bound, which ipe proprietor had bought for the purpose of retailing about the city. After seeing his property placed in the room allotted to him, the pedlar made lis appearance in the office with a small volume in his hand. He glanced bis keen, shrewd eye leisurely around the room, which contained at that moment no one but the cle and myself.

"Fond of reading?" inquired the pedlar of the clerk, when be bad finished his observation. "Don't get any time to read," replied me clerk tartly, busying himself at the desk. "I rather guess I've got a book here you'd like to read," continued the pedlar, persere-ringly: "What i it?" "Well it's real good, and just right for the times, ton, cause it'll give a man spiritual consolation; and they do say that's what a man can't get very easy in Maine just about now." "That's very true; but your unfortunately, roy friend, does uot happen to be of the right sort" There was a cunning leer in the pedlar's eye as he inquired, "Fond of the right sort, hey "When I can get it," said the clerk, becoming interested. "Guess I shall sell you this book, then," said the pedlar, decidedly. "What is it You haven't told me the name of it yet." "It's the Pilgrim's Progress." "Oh bother I've read it a dozen times." "But this is an entirely" new edition.1' "Oh, it's all the same' Bautifurengravings." "Oh, nonsense I don't want it.M And so saying, he commenced writing again, visi bly annoyed.

"Say, you better look at the pictures," continued the pedlar, thrusting the book un der his very nose. This movement had an astonishing enect upon the clerk. He jumped off his chair and began to examine the volume eagerly; but, much to my surprise, without opening it. Then seemingly satisfied with the scru tiny, he asked the price and purchased it. "Say, you, said the pedlar, after the bar- 1 a.

And exchanging a very queer and myste rious look with tbe clerk, the pedlar vanish ed. "What on the earth made you buy that book I asked of the clerk, as soon as he had gone. "See here a moment. I advanced and looked over his shoulder. Turning "up one end of the book, be removed a small slide and discovered a stopple which he unscrewed and then handed me the book; which I applied mechanically to rav mouth.

"Halloa I where are you going "Up stairs; it has just struck me that the 'Pilgrim's Progress' will be an ixcellent ad dition to my library. The next day the pedlar's stock was ex hausted.

Allowing soraetning for me spirit oi .1 .1 Lf pvaao-pration common to travellers ana aa venturers, it roust oe aaroiuea inai me laiesi QB reports from-the mining districts are most flattering, and are calculated to evoke the passion for gold seeking in all adventurous breasts.

But it must be renembered that these glowing statements ofien come from land speculators, parties nuerestea in town and sites, and in the construction of railroads. We give them, therefore, for what they are worth, leaving the public to iuderefor themselves as to their veracity. One wnter. tor example, describes tne yield of gold to extend almost unbroken over millions upon millions or acres. An other declares that he prospected carefully over a distance of two hundred miles, and found the precious metal "everywhere he tested the earth.

Another prophesies a re turn 'as high as twenty dollars a day to each miner provided with proper instruments, uices. and so torth. ut course tnese ac am s- -C counts must be taken with a pretty large grain of salt; but at the same time the fact mav be assumed as established, that -the PL 'l gold fields of Kansas and Nebraska are fruitful enough to tempt the young hardy, who have always made the pioneers of our west-tern civilization. There is no doubt, then, as we have predicted before, that there will be an immense emigration westward during this spring and summer. The earty ing of the rivers and lakes, and the genial season which has alreaoy dawned upon us; will give a vast stimulos to emigration, the effects of which will be felt, not only at that point to which it is directed, but all over the country.

Ihe Eastern and Middle states will furnish their portion of the men who are destined to build up towns and cities in 1 the desert, to compel the yet untrodden earth to give up its golden treasures, to handmaids of commerce, and fructify the prairie and the mountain. From the South, also, no small share of a similar class will pour into Kansas. Nebraska, and Arizona, attracted by the ercld of the former Territories and the shining silver of the latter one. If the favorable reports continue to multi- ply for a few weeks longer we shall probably see the largest emigration towards the West this summer which has been witnessed since the rush to California some ten years ago.
