The. obj ect, of course, is to prevent the' present interregnum in our Congressional representation. From the 4th of March to the 1st Thursday in August we have now no Representatives in the lower House of Congress, and if a called session of that body should be necessary before August, a special election must be held. 'ST We think this a very small inconvenience. The Governor has power to order a special election, and has done so, when a called session has been demanded between the 4th of March and the 1st Thursday in August.

We think this is also a mistake; for as early as the latter part of 1822 there were twelve papers published in the State, as we learn from a little book, now very rare, called "the North Carolina Register and United States Calendar, for the year of our Lord 1823, by the Rev. Colin Mclver." This was printed between the 14th August 1822, (when the copyright was issued,) and the 1st January 1823, by J.

Railroad to the East. A Northern gentleman who frequently travels through this part of Torth Carolina has written a letter to us earnestly urging the project of a railroad from this to the Wilmington Weldon road, and thence to New-bern or Beaufort harbor. He says he would himself undertake to the road for a much less price per mile than the Coalfields road costs, and would agree to take 10 per cent, of the cost in stock.

Such a road, in addition to the Coalfields road, would, he thinks, build up Fayetteville, and put her far ahead' of any rival. Our correspondent is right, but the time has not quite arrived for this.

The name of the Halifax Compiler reminds us of an incident that afforded some amusement at that period.

It was the period when the celebrated Bob Potter, Hal Potter, Jesse A. Bynum, and perhaps other noted characters and rowdies, flourished in and about the town of Halifax. That town was entitled to a Representative in the House of Commfuyrider the old Constitution, and there being onlyarty or fifty voters, there was abundant opportunity for the exercise of every species of electioneering the kind most in vogue being drinking and fighting.

The whole load is worth upwards of $20,000, and it has been sold here, we believe, except the Copper Ore, which Mr.

Gilmer. The Winston Sentinel says it does not feel called upon to undertake to substantiate, any further, the statements it made with regard to Mr. Gilmer's extraordinary course in Congress, and as a public man. This is discreet in the Sentinel. It would not be easy to substantiate a statement that one speech of Seward's, which the Editor saw, was "hundreds" of speeches of Seward's.

Nor does it condescend to explain, whether it meant its readers to understand that the speeches which the editor saw on the table of the hotel were all Seward's speeches, or that only the one the editor carried away with him was Seward's. This is equivalent to an admission that there was but one such, though the Sentinel's statement of the matter may be read either way. But the Sentinel brings a new witness against Mr. Gilmer. It says, "a gentleman who was in our office the other day, alluding to the letter of We find these items in the Wilmington Herald.

In her deportment, she was retiring and unassuming, possessing great simplicity of manners, at the same time marked decision of character.

Moved by the tenderest sympathy and the most generous impulses, she was ever ready to espouse the cause of the absent, the injured, or the distressed. As a daughter, she was dutiful and affectionate: as a sister, loving and kind; as a friend, true and devoted; as a christian, sincere and unaffected. She was for two years a pupil of Greensboro' Female College, and completed her education at the Female Seminary in Fayetteville, graduating with distinction-in July, 1858.

Mr. Isham Cox, merchant of Cbafham county, has related to us his experience dirks were commonly used, and every body looked for bloody accounts from a Halifax election. On one occasion (1825) no member was elected, the election having been broken up by a brawl between Potter and Bynum, and their friends. The Halifax Compiler fed the flame on all these occasions. We do not remember whether it was on the side of Bob Potter or of Bynum, but it was furious on one side or the other.
