FLYING MACHINE. The practicability of navigating the air by means of a flying machine has been satisfactorily demonstrated and settled, as he thinks, by Mr John Taggart, of Char- leston, Mass , who is at present to be seen with his invention in Dunlap's Hotel, 135 Fulton street New York.

When Mr inthrop was roted for by southern whigs, for Speaker; and was made Speaker by the votes of southern whigs in Congress, the de- mocratic party at the south condemned the act, and alledged that Mr Winthrop was an abolition- ist at heart, because he had voted for the recep- tion of all sorts of abolition petitions, and even for one praying the dissolution of the Union. The whig press of the south still clung to Mr Winthrop, and swore to his fidelity to the Con FLOGGING IN THE NAVY. Some officers of the Navy (as we see from the newspapers) are very puffy and blowy about the act of Congress abolishing flogging in the Navy, and some few of the papers appear to sing the same song. For instance, they say that it has totally deprived them of the means of discipline that no officer can go to sea with safety they would not give a d n for the navy the good seamen will have all the work to do, and the lazy rascals will get off without work or punishment, Sec.

The election for State officers, Legislature, Congressmen, &c, took place on the aecond Tuesday in October. The democratic party have succeeded almost beyond their expec- tations. They have gained six members of Con- gress, giving them 16 of the 21; and will have a majority in both branches of the Legislature. Nearly all the State officers elected are demo- crats. Florida. From present appearances, it looks like Mr Cabell, the present whig representative to Congress is d. The returns are too lew to indicate anything else. Ohio. In this old whig State the democrats have elected their candidate for Governor. The whigs have a majority in the Legislature. With regard to members of Congress there appears, so far, not to be much political change. There are said to be 9 whigs and 9 democrats elected, and 3 abolitionists. At the very time that this praise was lavished on Mr Winthrop, he had given some outrageous votes in the House of Representatives, under the miserable pretext of supporting the right of petition. But perhaps we might overlook all this, if Mr Winthrop had held on only to his professions. As it is, he deserves to be repudiated by the whigs of the south, as Van Buren has been by the democrats of the south. When Mr Van Buren fell from grace among the southern democrats, by joining the free-soi!er- s, because he was not nominated for President, he was at once de- nounced for his delinquency. But what south ern whig press has denounced Mr Winthrop? BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. The surprising prosperity, and the rapid growth into public favor, of this institution, were very forcibly illustrated a few days ago, by one of the largest stockholders in it being offered 10 per cent, for his stock, which he re- fused. The premium itself would have amount- ed to $2,300. Towards the close of the session, that gentle- man was appointed U. S. Senator, to fill Mr Webster's unexpired term; and no sooner did he SOUTHERN SENTIMENT, on the question of union and disunion, is still exhibiting itself in the States south of this. In Mcintosh county, Ga., a public meeting held on the 4th inst., adopted resolutions ap- proving the late acts of Congress, as being con- ciliatory. In Alabama, several public meetings were held, which, on the contrary, passed resolutions advocating secession and disunion. A meeting at Mobile approved the measures of Congress as satisfactory. A meeting at Lumpkin, Ga , also approved the measures. Another at Svlyia, Ga , was just the reverse. So that it appears to us that there is too much disunion amony: the southern people to lead to any other result than a perfect stand still, so far as action is concerned. Resolutions on paper will never dissolv e the Union nor tnaintaiu south- ern rights Movements in thk South- - 'Southern rights associations'' appear, at present, to be the ruling idea in Georgia and South Carolina. They had a great public meet- ing in Charleston on. the 3d, which was addressed by Messrs Bellinger, Hayne, Porter, Rhett, and Sims. The announce- ment that Mississippi had taken her stand by the side of Georgia in the great south- ern movement was greeted with acclama- tions, and three cheers were given for the gallant Gov. Quitman- - The excitement in that region is evidently fomented by the abolition movements at the north. At the meeting above referred to, a constitution was accepled, having in view the object pointed out in the following article: The association shall continue in ex- istence and persevere in its e lib its until the wrongs of the south are redressed, or the State resume the powers heretofore delegated to the U.

The wings, which may be moved in any direction so as to assist in the ascent or descent of the machine, are put in motion by turning a small axle run- ning through the centre of the car. The machine may be guided in any direction by means of a rudder, the slightest varia- tion of which it obeys with wouderful pre- cision. The float or balloon, which is pear-shape- d, is thirty-thre- e feet nine inches in height, having a diameter of some twelve feet nine inches in height, having a diameter of some twelve feet, and the whole weight of the machine, when ready for ascension, is three hundred anil fifty pounds; in ad- dition to which it will carry with case over one thousand pounds. The inventor told us that he had already made one ascension in it, for the purpose of practically testing its powers. The as- cent was made from the commons at Iow-el- l, Mass., in the presence of a large num- ber of spectators. Owing to some fault in inflating the balloon, a quantity of steam was allowed to intermix with -- the gas, thus greatly diminishing its buoyancy; so that when the ropes which held it to the ground were cut, the machine ascended on- ly to the height of a few feet, w hen it fell down, to the imminent peril of the occu- pant. After two or three ineffectual attempts, Mr Taggart elevated the wings considera- bly above the line of the car, which had the desired e fleet and away went the machine far above the heads of the'spectators, until it had dwindled in their gaze to the size of a swallow. After attaining a considerable elevation, Mr T. proceeded in the direc- tion of Lawrence, whence he passed lo An-dov- er and lied ford, over which latter place he struck a current of air, which car- ried him, at a rapid rate, to Redding. From this again he passed to Salem, having crossed a portion of the sea in his passage from Redding, and alighted at a distance of nine miles from Lowell, accomplishing the whole voyage in an hour and twenty minutes. Mr Taggart says that at one time he had obtained an elevation where the air be- came so rarified that it was with the great- est difficulty he could retain his powers of animation; his hands, and other parts of his body, swelled, and blood spduted from his mouth and nose. The invention, he tells us, has met with the support and countenance of several of the scientific men in Massachusetts. It is the intention of Mr Taggart to make an ascent from this city in the course of two or three weeks. lie has already invited some of our most eminent machinists and men of science to examine his invention.

It appears that the leading Eu- ropean artists are making a stir for the purpose of effecting a material change in European cos- tume; the present costume being, in their opin- ion, very inelegant, and particularly difficult to arrange in their delineations of the human figure. an abolitionist as Mr Seward. And has the whig press at the south'exposed and repudiated him? None that we have seen. We have been waiting to see if any part of the whig party were going to do their duty in this matter; and having waited long enough, we shall now show up Mr Winthrop with his " 2urity" and his goodness ; how he " defended the just rights of the south," in the American Senate. Vie took h is seat in the U. S. Senate on the 30th July 1S30, and the first time he was brought to a test vote on the slavery question, he voted for an amendment of Mr Chase to prohibit slave- ry in New Mexico that is to attach the Wilmot Proviso to the bill for a territorial government for that territory ! We next find him voting with eleven other free-soile- rs AGAINST the FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL We next find him voting with the free-soile- rs against an amendment to the Mexican territorial bill, which (amendment) guaranteed the rights and privileges of the slaveholder. The vote stood 31 for the amendment to 10 against; Mr Winthrop leaving his w hig friends, north and south, to consort with abolitionists. We next find hirn voting with nine other free-soile- rs against the said bill, because we suppose, slaveholders were not excluded ! Next comes the crowning act of this " pure" man who defended the rights of the south so strongly: a bill was offered and debated in the Senate, fixing a penalty upon aiding slaves to es- cape from their masters, or enticing them away. After the second reading of the bill, Mr Hale, free-so- il democrat, made a motion, and offered a few remarks for the special benefit of those of his friends who were in favor of abolishing sla- very in the District of Columbia, but w ho have been waiting for a good time. He wished to eive those gentlemen a fair chance to express their sentiments upon the record, v ntramrneled by any ' inexpedient' and ' indiscreet' details," and in order to do so, he moved that the above named bill be recommitted to the committee of the District of Columbia, with instructions so to amend said bill as to abolish slavery in the Dis- trict of Columbia. Upon this motion of Mr Hale, the yeas and nays were immediately taken, without debate, and the motion was vigorously voted down, only 9 voting for it, as follows: Baldwin, Chase. Davis (w hig). Dodge, Ew ing, Hale, Hamlin, Sew- ard, and WINTHROP. Here was this " pure" patriot voting without ifs or ands, or conditions of any sort, but abso- lutely and without regard to consequences, for the abolition of slavery in the Dist. of Columbia ! If Mr Winthrop was the " pure" man that he w as called, he certainly " fell from grace " after lie entered the Senate. Now, it is all gammon. They are only tucked because they have been shorn of their kingly power (which they had not sense of justice enough to use with discretion). It has been proved often, that sailors were whipped by the orders of drunken officers, and just as likely as not for no sufficient cause. Look at the other side of the picture. Here is the experience of an officer who is worthy of the commission he holds: Capt. U. P. Levy, in 1839, when com- manding the slooping of-w- ar Vandalia, advocated the abolishment of flogging in the navy, and, by instituting mild punish- ments for minor offences, produced a marked reformation in the conduct of the sailors in his ship. According to Lieut Dovvnes, in his testimony before the court-martia- l, there was less corporeal punish- ment on board the Vandalia, during the command of Capt. than on board of any ship he (Lieut. D.) ever sailed in. The register which Capt. L. kept of the names of persons who committed offences, the offence committed, date of the sortie, punishment, and remarks of the officer of the deck, having been submitted to the Secretary of the Navy, Hon. J. K. Paulding, that gentleman, in May, 1840, issued an order for a similar one to be kept in all naval vessels, and a quarterly return made of the same to the Secretary of the Navy This record, being open to members of Congress, proved a powerful check on the commanders of public vessels in regard to the free use of the cat. While we are on the subject, we will give the follow ing remarks of Senator Hale, in the U. S. Senate ou the subject: This subject, in various ways, has been before the two houses of Congress ever since I first had the honor of a seat in either house some seven years ago. I hold in my hand an executive document, (No. 51,) of date February 8, 1849, in which the results of the system for three years are given to us, with the name of every man, and the punishment inflicted ; and the continued cry from the Naval Committee, from the time that this subject was first broached to the present, has been, we have not had time enough to examine it. The naval bill has generally been brought up at the close of the session, and then the committee say they have not had quite time enough. Well, sir, in addition to these facts, which have been laid upon our tables and printed for the last three vears, making returns which are printed, 1 hold in my hand a book which may be called the chronicle of the published by your order j and with this evidence accumulating upon your tables every year, the Naval Committee yet tell us that they have not had time enough to consider and digest a plan for its substitution. Well, sir, this report shows this singular fact, that the great argument that the advocates of the ls used upon this floor, that if you put a ship out at sea you must invest the commander with absolute power, or he could not be able to command his ship this argument has been based wholly upon the necessity arising from the urgency of the case, that the ship is at sea yet 1 find from this report that the report of the receiving ship Pennsylvania, which has not been at sea, but has been lying at the wharves within protection, and where no such necessity prevails that report shows this astonishing state of things; In 1846, by the returns of the ship Pennsylvania, fifty-fiv- e men on shore that is, in this receiving ship, where this necessity does not exist which exists at sea were sub- ject to this degrading and brutal punish- ment of the fifty-fiv- e men! a little more than one a week. Now, what was the result of that disci- pline upon that crew for the year 146 ? Why, they improved so well under it, that the captain found it necessary, in the year 184T, to inflict the ls one hundred and fifty-on- e times, or three limes a week! More requires more; fifty-fiv- e in one year, and one hundred and fifty-on- e in the next! Well, sir, what improve- ment did the crew exhibit after being sub- jected to this discipline for two years once a week for the first year, and three times a Week for the next ? Why, in 1848 I find that the captain deemed it necessary to inflict the same punishment two hun- dred and thirty-nin- e times! Well, sir, that shows the effect of tins discipline-I- t is said also that it is only a few skulking, cowardly rascals, that will not do the work, that get this flogging. Now, look through this book, and you will find all the names that are recorded in these 'chronicles," and you will hardly fnd one recorded twice. You will find hardly a name that is re- peated. It would seem that it was ne- cessary to go through the crew before they began the second time. So that that re- mark as to the " cowardly, skulking ras- cals' is not true, for the record shows that it is not true. I think if there was time the Senate would be amused to see the crimes for which this crew were punished. I find one here for which a considerable company, a considerable portion of the crew, were punished, and 1 will tell you what it was for ; it was for stealing cham- pagne. Laughter. 3 They were flogged most outrageously for that. It seems as if that was the unpardonable sin for which there was no forgiveness here or hereafter. Laughter. Well, sir, I apprehend that the necessity for the continuance of this brutalizing system results from the fact that there is too much champagne in the cabin. Xaugter0 Take that away from the cabin, and you will not need so MARRIED, In Cumberland county, on the 10th instant, by the Rev.

The company moved on about a quar- ter of a mile, when the animal was discovered without its rider, which produced instant alarm.

Bishop Onderdonk, convicted of irreligious practices, some years ago, has had his case final- ly adjudged. The council of Bishops of the church have rejected the petition of the New York diocess for his restoration to office. All honor to the bishops! a righteous, judgment ! There are too many wolves in sheep's clothing among the ministry; and too many church mem- bers that are willing to cloak and hush up the minister's evil deeds. We know that nature is weak, but the man who commits crime while at the same time pretends to serve God, deserves more punishment than other criminals, for he does more harm to the cause of the christian re- ligion than 50 infidels, and fifty murderers to boot, for he kills the faith of thousands. 8 SCO 11 a II a CO NAVAL STORtb.

G0-- 2t thinks tne next legislature snouiu so amend the charter as to secure its exten- sion to Salem, instead of to Salisbury. We have no doubt it would be more profitable to the State and to the Stock- holders in the Plank Road, to take it to Salem. Its bearing from Fayetteville is more in the direction ot Salem, than to Salisbury; and when we shall have the Rail Road in operation, the Plank Road for the distance it may run parallel there- with, cannot reasonably be expected to prove very useful or profitable. Fayette- ville will realize more trade if the sugges- tions of the Herald prevail, than to run the road according to the charter as it now stands; and if it is the wish of the Stock- holders, and the judgment of the Legisla- ture that the terminus of said road should be Salem instead of Salisbury, we believe it would not be seriously resisted by those in this section who may have, at one time, cherished hopes of increased commercial advantages by the. construction of this work.

Some of the manufacturers of Pennsylvania made great exertions to get the tariff of 1S10 altered by Congress, at the recent session, and they made great exertions to have men elected at the recent election in Pennsylvania, who would do their utmost to procure an alteration in the next Congress. And what has been the result? Hear what the Philadelphia "North American " says : "It is an astonishing and mortifying fact (says its editor) that some of the tariff districts have returned candidates, by large majorities who stood notoriously pledged against every principle connected with the favorite policy of this State. Ev- ery change which has occurred furnishes an example of fatuity, or an instance of culpable neglect, which is equally repre- hensible." So it seems that Pennsylvania, a State that contains more tariff men more men interested in Jiaving a protective tariff; and who keep up more clamor for protection than any other State, has refused to listen to the cry " more protection," and has sent democrats to Congress who will let things remain as they are. The present tariff certainly gives protection enough against competition from abroad. The next cry will be for protection , against competition at home !

MR WINTHROP, Hx-Speak- er.

When Mr inthrop was roted for by southernwhigs, for Speaker; and was made Speaker bythe votes of southern whigs in Congress, the de-

mocratic party at the south condemned the act,and alledged that Mr Winthrop was an abolition-ist at heart, because he had voted for the recep-tion of all sorts of abolition petitions, and evenfor one praying the dissolution of the Union.

The whig press of the south still clung to MrWinthrop, and swore to his fidelity to the Con

RECENT ELECTIONS.

Pennsylvania. The election for State officers,

Legislature, Congressmen, &c, took place on theaecond Tuesday in October. The democratic

party have succeeded almost beyond their expec-tations. They have gained six members of Con-

gress, giving them 16 of the 21; and will have a

majority in both branches of the Legislature.Nearly all the State officers elected are demo-

crats.Florida. From present appearances, it looks

like Mr Cabell, the present whig representativeto Congress is d. The returns are toolew to indicate anything else.

Ohio. In this old whig State the democratshave elected their candidate for Governor. Thewhigs have a majority in the Legislature. Withregard to members of Congress there appears, sofar, not to be much political change. There aresaid to be 9 whigs and 9 democrats elected, and3 abolitionists.

At the very time that this praise was lavishedon Mr Winthrop, he had given some outrageousvotes in the House of Representatives, under themiserable pretext of supporting the right ofpetition.

But perhaps we might overlook all this, if MrWinthrop had held on only to his professions.As it is, he deserves to be repudiated by thewhigs of the south, as Van Buren has been by thedemocrats of the south. When Mr Van Burenfell from grace among the southern democrats,by joining the free-soi!er- s, because he was notnominated for President, he was at once de-

nounced for his delinquency. But what southern whig press has denounced Mr Winthrop?

BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE.The surprising prosperity, and the rapid

growth into public favor, of this institution,were very forcibly illustrated a few days ago,by one of the largest stockholders in it beingoffered 10 per cent, for his stock, which he re-

fused. The premium itself would have amount-ed to $2,300.

Towards the close of the session, that gentle-man was appointed U. S. Senator, to fill MrWebster's unexpired term; and no sooner did he

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT, on the questionof union and disunion, is still exhibiting itself inthe States south of this.

In Mcintosh county, Ga., a public meetingheld on the 4th inst., adopted resolutions ap-

proving the late acts of Congress, as being con-

ciliatory.In Alabama, several public meetings were

held, which, on the contrary, passed resolutionsadvocating secession and disunion. A meetingat Mobile approved the measures of Congress as

satisfactory.A meeting at Lumpkin, Ga , also approved the

measures. Another at Svlyia, Ga , was just thereverse.

So that it appears to us that there is too muchdisunion amony: the southern people to lead toany other result than a perfect stand still, so faras action is concerned. Resolutions on paperwill never dissolv e the Union nor tnaintaiu south-ern rights

Movements in thk South- - 'Southernrights associations'' appear, at present, tobe the ruling idea in Georgia and SouthCarolina. They had a great public meet-

ing in Charleston on. the 3d, which wasaddressed by Messrs Bellinger, Hayne,Porter, Rhett, and Sims. The announce-ment that Mississippi had taken her standby the side of Georgia in the great south-ern movement was greeted with acclama-tions, and three cheers were given for thegallant Gov. Quitman- - The excitementin that region is evidently fomented by theabolition movements at the north. At themeeting above referred to, a constitutionwas accepled, having in view the objectpointed out in the following article:

The association shall continue in ex-istence and persevere in its e lib its untilthe wrongs of the south are redressed, orthe State resume the powers heretoforedelegated to the U. States for special pur-poses."

which is attached a pair of wings, some-what like the screws used by propellers,and a float or balloon fastened to the carin the ordinary way, at an elevation of sixor eight feet. The wings, which may bemoved in any direction so as to assist inthe ascent or descent of the machine, areput in motion by turning a small axle run-

ning through the centre of the car. Themachine may be guided in any directionby means of a rudder, the slightest varia-tion of which it obeys with wouderful pre-cision.

The float or balloon, which is pear-shape- d,

is thirty-thre- e feet nine inches inheight, having a diameter of some twelvefeet nine inches in height, having a diameterof some twelve feet, and the whole weightof the machine, when ready for ascension,is three hundred anil fifty pounds; in ad-

dition to which it will carry with case overone thousand pounds.

The inventor told us that he had alreadymade one ascension in it, for the purposeof practically testing its powers. The as-

cent was made from the commons at Iow-el- l,

Mass., in the presence of a large num-ber of spectators. Owing to some fault ininflating the balloon, a quantity of steamwas allowed to intermix with -- the gas,thus greatly diminishing its buoyancy; sothat when the ropes which held it to theground were cut, the machine ascended on-

ly to the height of a few feet, w hen it felldown, to the imminent peril of the occu-

pant.After two or three ineffectual attempts,

Mr Taggart elevated the wings considera-bly above the line of the car, which had thedesired e fleet and away went the machinefar above the heads of the'spectators, untilit had dwindled in their gaze to the size ofa swallow. After attaining a considerableelevation, Mr T. proceeded in the direc-tion of Lawrence, whence he passed lo An-dov- er

and lied ford, over which latterplace he struck a current of air, which car-ried him, at a rapid rate, to Redding.From this again he passed to Salem, havingcrossed a portion of the sea in his passagefrom Redding, and alighted at a distanceof nine miles from Lowell, accomplishingthe whole voyage in an hour and twentyminutes.

Mr Taggart says that at one time he hadobtained an elevation where the air be-

came so rarified that it was with the great-est difficulty he could retain his powers ofanimation; his hands, and other parts ofhis body, swelled, and blood spduted fromhis mouth and nose.

The invention, he tells us, has met withthe support and countenance of several ofthe scientific men in Massachusetts. Itis the intention of Mr Taggart to make anascent from this city in the course of twoor three weeks. lie has already invitedsome of our most eminent machinists andmen of science to examine his invention.N.

an abolitionist as Mr Seward. And has the whigpress at the south'exposed and repudiated him?None that we have seen.

We have been waiting to see if any part of thewhig party were going to do their duty in thismatter; and having waited long enough, weshall now show up Mr Winthrop with his" 2urity" and his goodness ; how he " defendedthe just rights of the south," in the AmericanSenate.

Vie took h is seat in the U. S. Senate on the30th July 1S30, and the first time he was broughtto a test vote on the slavery question, he votedfor an amendment of Mr Chase to prohibit slave-

ry in New Mexico that is to attach the WilmotProviso to the bill for a territorial governmentfor that territory !

We next find him voting with eleven otherfree-soile- rs AGAINST the FUGITIVE SLAVEBILL

We next find him voting with the free-soile- rs

against an amendment to the Mexican territorialbill, which (amendment) guaranteed the rightsand privileges of the slaveholder. The votestood 31 for the amendment to 10 against; MrWinthrop leaving his w hig friends, north andsouth, to consort with abolitionists.

We next find hirn voting with nine other free-soile- rs

against the said bill, because we suppose,slaveholders were not excluded !

Next comes the crowning act of this " pure"man who defended the rights of the south so

strongly: a bill was offered and debated in theSenate, fixing a penalty upon aiding slaves to es-

cape from their masters, or enticing them away.After the second reading of the bill, Mr Hale,free-so- il democrat, made a motion, and offered a

few remarks for the special benefit of those ofhis friends who were in favor of abolishing sla-

very in the District of Columbia, but w ho havebeen waiting for a good time. He wished toeive those gentlemen a fair chance to expresstheir sentiments upon the record, v ntramrneledby any ' inexpedient' and ' indiscreet' details,"

and in order to do so, he moved that the abovenamed bill be recommitted to the committee ofthe District of Columbia, with instructions so toamend said bill as to abolish slavery in the Dis-

trict of Columbia.Upon this motion of Mr Hale, the yeas and

nays were immediately taken, without debate,and the motion was vigorously voted down, only9 voting for it, as follows: Baldwin, Chase.Davis (w hig). Dodge, Ew ing, Hale, Hamlin, Sew-

ard, and WINTHROP.Here was this " pure" patriot voting without

ifs or ands, or conditions of any sort, but abso-

lutely and without regard to consequences, forthe abolition of slavery in the Dist. of Columbia !

If Mr Winthrop was the " pure" man that hew as called, he certainly " fell from grace " afterlie entered the Senate.

Now, it is all gammon. They are only tuckedbecause they have been shorn of their kinglypower (which they had not sense of justiceenough to use with discretion).

It has been proved often, that sailors werewhipped by the orders of drunken officers, and

just as likely as not for no sufficient cause.Look at the other side of the picture. Here

is the experience of an officer who is worthy of thecommission he holds:

Capt. U. P. Levy, in 1839, when com-

manding the slooping of-w- ar Vandalia,advocated the abolishment of flogging inthe navy, and, by instituting mild punish-ments for minor offences, produced amarked reformation in the conduct of thesailors in his ship. According to LieutDovvnes, in his testimony before the court-martia- l,

there was less corporeal punish-ment on board the Vandalia, during thecommand of Capt. than on board ofany ship he (Lieut. D.) ever sailed in.The register which Capt. L. kept of thenames of persons who committed offences,the offence committed, date of the sortie,punishment, and remarks of the officerof the deck, having been submitted to theSecretary of the Navy, Hon. J. K.Paulding, that gentleman, in May, 1840,issued an order for a similar one to bekept in all naval vessels, and a quarterlyreturn made of the same to the Secretaryof the Navy This record, being open tomembers of Congress, proved a powerfulcheck on the commanders of public vesselsin regard to the free use of the cat.

While we are on the subject, we will give thefollow ing remarks of Senator Hale, in the U. S.Senate ou the subject:

This subject, in various ways, has beenbefore the two houses of Congress eversince I first had the honor of a seat in eitherhouse some seven years ago. I hold inmy hand an executive document, (No. 51,)of date February 8, 1849, in which theresults of the system for three years aregiven to us, with the name of every man,and the punishment inflicted ; and thecontinued cry from the Naval Committee,from the time that this subject was firstbroached to the present, has been, we havenot had time enough to examine it. Thenaval bill has generally been brought upat the close of the session, and then thecommittee say they have not had quitetime enough. Well, sir, in addition tothese facts, which have been laid uponour tables and printed for the last threevears, making returns which are printed,1 hold in my hand a book which may becalled the chronicle of the

published by your order j and withthis evidence accumulating upon yourtables every year, the Naval Committeeyet tell us that they have not had timeenough to consider and digest a plan forits substitution. Well, sir, this reportshows this singular fact, that the greatargument that the advocates of the ls

used upon this floor, that if youput a ship out at sea you must invest thecommander with absolute power, or hecould not be able to command his shipthis argument has been based wholly uponthe necessity arising from the urgency ofthe case, that the ship is at sea yet 1

find from this report that the report of thereceiving ship Pennsylvania, which hasnot been at sea, but has been lying at thewharves within protection, and where nosuch necessity prevails that report showsthis astonishing state of things; In 1846,by the returns of the ship Pennsylvania,fifty-fiv- e men on shore that is, in thisreceiving ship, where this necessity doesnot exist which exists at sea were sub-

ject to this degrading and brutal punish-ment of the fifty-fiv- e

men! a little more than one a week.Now, what was the result of that disci-

pline upon that crew for the year 146 ?

Why, they improved so well under it, thatthe captain found it necessary, in the year184T, to inflict the ls onehundred and fifty-on- e times, or three limesa week! More requires more; fifty-fiv- e

in one year, and one hundred and fifty-on- e

in the next! Well, sir, what improve-ment did the crew exhibit after being sub-

jected to this discipline for two yearsonce a week for the first year, and threetimes a Week for the next ? Why, in 1848I find that the captain deemed it necessaryto inflict the same punishment two hun-dred and thirty-nin- e times! Well, sir,that shows the effect of tins discipline-I- t

is said also that it is only a few skulking,cowardly rascals, that will not do the work,that get this flogging. Now, look throughthis book, and you will find all the namesthat are recorded in these 'chronicles,"and you will hardly fnd one recordedtwice.

You will find hardly a name that is re-

peated. It would seem that it was ne-

cessary to go through the crew before theybegan the second time. So that that re-

THE MAILS. We perceive that the Fayette-ville Observer has commenced ome gentle stric-

tures on the " authorities at Washington" for so

many failures of the mails. He does not lash itinto them like he did into Amos Kendall andCave Johnson. He " roars them gently." Thisis a great country.

How much will it take to construct aPlank Road from Fa vetteville to Raleigh?

Slumlord.Answer. It will sot from ten to twelve

hundred dollars per mile ; or from severity to

eighty thousand dollars. Cumberland county hassubscribed 10,000 of it already.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Mr Editor: It is wirh deep-fel- t sorrow I re-

cord the sudden death of our much esteemedfriend Daniel XV. Marsh, caused by a fall from amule within half a mile of his father's residence(Absalom Marsh, dee'd,) in this county, on theevening of the 12th inst. The deceased was re-

turning home from Fayetteville in company withthree of his brothers and several friends, andhaving arrived at a convenient watering place,withiii the distance of home a above stated, dis-

mounted to get water, by which incident be wasthrown in the rear of the company, and by which,it is presumed, his animal became restless, andhe being in a feeble state of health from previousindisposition, was unable to manage it, and wasdoubtless thrown, w hile in the act of mounting,on a very firm place of the road, his head strik-ing first. The company moved on about a quar-ter of a mile, when the animal was discoveredwithout its rider, which produced instant alarm.They ran to his assistance and did all in theirpower to revive him, but to their great grief,.were unable to do so. He was found so injuredas to be unable to speak, and expired at the dawnof d tv the succeeding morning, leaving a largecircle of relations and friends to mourn theirirreparable loss. Loss ! yea, truly. The bereav-ed family has lost an atfectionate and devotedmember his acquaintances a warm, sincerefriend the country an enterprising citizen. D.

THE ONDERDONK CASE.

Bishop Onderdonk, convicted of irreligiouspractices, some years ago, has had his case final-

ly adjudged. The council of Bishops of thechurch have rejected the petition of the NewYork diocess for his restoration to office. Allhonor to the bishops! a righteous, judgment !

There are too many wolves in sheep's clothingamong the ministry; and too many church mem-

bers that are willing to cloak and hush up theminister's evil deeds. We know that nature is

weak, but the man who commits crime while atthe same time pretends to serve God, deservesmore punishment than other criminals, for hedoes more harm to the cause of the christian re-

ligion than 50 infidels, and fifty murderers toboot, for he kills the faith of thousands.

thinks tne next legislature snouiu soamend the charter as to secure its exten-sion to Salem, instead of to Salisbury.

We have no doubt it would be moreprofitable to the State and to the Stock-holders in the Plank Road, to take it toSalem. Its bearing from Fayetteville ismore in the direction ot Salem, than toSalisbury; and when we shall have theRail Road in operation, the Plank Roadfor the distance it may run parallel there-with, cannot reasonably be expected toprove very useful or profitable. Fayette-ville will realize more trade if the sugges-tions of the Herald prevail, than to runthe road according to the charter as it nowstands; and if it is the wish of the Stock-holders, and the judgment of the Legisla-ture that the terminus of said road shouldbe Salem instead of Salisbury, we believeit would not be seriously resisted by thosein this section who may have, at one time,cherished hopes of increased commercialadvantages by the. construction of thiswork.

ALAS FOR THE TARIFFITES !

Some of the manufacturers of Pennsylvaniamade great exertions to get the tariff of 1S10

altered by Congress, at the recent session, and

they made great exertions to have men electedat the recent election in Pennsylvania, whowould do their utmost to procure an alterationin the next Congress. And what has been theresult? Hear what the Philadelphia "NorthAmerican " says :

"It is an astonishing and mortifyingfact (says its editor) that some of the tariffdistricts have returned candidates, bylarge majorities who stood notoriouslypledged against every principle connectedwith the favorite policy of this State. Ev-

ery change which has occurred furnishesan example of fatuity, or an instance ofculpable neglect, which is equally repre-hensible."

So it seems that Pennsylvania, a State thatcontains more tariff men more men interestedin Jiaving a protective tariff; and who keep upmore clamor for protection than any otherState, has refused to listen to the cry " more

protection," and has sent democrats to Congresswho will let things remain as they are. Thepresent tariff certainly gives protection enoughagainst competition from abroad. The next crywill be for protection , against competition athome ! How will that be managed ?

Our Representative. Since the pub-lication of our last number, we have en-

joyed the pleasure of meeting with ourworthy representative from this District,Mr Ashe, who has returned to our midst,after the very protracted session of Con-

gress which has just closed. Mr Ashelooks as well as the very warmest of hislaro-- e circle of friends could wish him; acircle which, however large before, hasbeen rendered still larger by the mannerin which he has discharged his official du-

ties, and the uniform courtesy and attentionwhich has characterized his intercoursewith his constituents, in all cases whichtheir business with the departments, orother causes, mav have led them to Wash-

ington City. While attending most assid-

uously to the duties incumbent upon himas a Southern man and representative, hewas equally attentive to the interests ofhis immediate constituency, as all whosebusiness mav have required his servicescan bear witness. Wilmington Journal.
