GKN. DOOKERT ON THE STANDARD.—The
From the Report of the Philadelphia and
Reading Rail Road Company, Jan'y 1856, we
find that this great coal road cost $19,004,180

783 86. Its expenses $1,727,878 62. Net

future campaigns in the West)—and tbe means

in their desires.
The last Standard re-affirms that "Gen. Dnek-ery
is responsible for the defeat of Mr. Avery's
bill " We are inclined to think that the Stan-dard
will eventually come to believe this to be
so, for it is said that men sometimes tell stories
so often as finally to believe them true. It will
take a great deal, however, to make even the
Standard believe its own tale, that in a body of
fifty men, on* man is responsible for the action
of the whi.le, and two-thirds of the fifty opposed
to him at that.
This morning we have received an additional
communication from Gen. Dockery, noticing an
article in the Warrcnton News; but it is impos-sible
to put it in type in time for to-day's paper.
It shall appear on Thursday.
TBE REV. DR HAWKS —We learn from the
Raleigh Register that this eminent North Caro-linian
has consented to deliver an Address at Ox-ford,
on tbe 24th June next, on tbe occasion of
the completion of St. John's College. Tbe fact
gives us an opportunity to copy from a Boston
paper an account of some Lectures recently de-livered
in New York by Dr. Hawks. This ac-count
is stated to have teen written by a gentle-man
who stands in the first rank of American
literati—one well known to fame as an author.
The amount of mental labor which one man
can undergo, and the extent of knowledge which
one mind can compass, are strongly illustrated by
Dr. Hawks. Amidst ministerial labors which
are generally regarded as enough for any one
man, he has seemed to devote all of man's powers
to historical research; and then again he is dis-tinguished
among the most eminent and working
members of several Literary Societies; the author
of books on various subjects; and here we find
that he has been devoting years of study to
American Ethnology—to the races of men who
peopled this continent centuries before the Chris-tian
era.
It is pleasant to connect the name and fame
of such a man with North Carolina, aad to know,
as we have for years had opportunity to know,
that his thoughts are ever turned to her, his de-sires
ever for her honor and prosperity; and that,
whether he writes and prints at his own cost a
great scheme of internal imorovement for her, or
the plan of a Polytechnic School for her—each
in advance of the age of her Legislators—or whe-ther
be devotes years of labor aud a large amount
of means not over abundant, to the collection of
materials for her History, that personal emolu-ment
has been the least of all the considerations
weighing on his mind, and affection for her the
main spring of all bis labors. Our readers will
see from this Boston letter in what estimation he
is held among stranger* in New York.
CORRECTION.—B. F. Little, Esq., member of
the House of Commons from Richmond couuty,
calls our attention to an error in our reported
proceedings of that House, in the Observer of
the 9th iust., in which a proposed amendment to
the Deep River bill is attributed to him. The
amendment was, "that no farther appropriation
ever be made to said work." He says that such
an amendment was offered by some membe.' and
afterwards withdrawn; but that for him-ili' la-offered
no amendment, but contented biiusell
with voting against the main bill.
We bad occasion once before to correct a simi-lar
error of our regular Reporter, evidently grow-ing
out of a similarity of names.
BATTLE OF MOORE'S CREEK—The celebrati >u
on Friday last was largely attended by viaitera
from Cumberland, Joucs, Leuoir, Duplin, Samp-son,
Bladen, Columbus, Brunswick and New
Hanover Couuties. Tbe number is variously-estimated.
The Herald thiuks about 2,500;
others estimated it a* low as 1,500, and as high
as 4,000. Tbe occasion is spoken of by the
Herald as a very pleasant one, and tbe address
by Joshua G. Wright, Esq., as "replete with
historical information, beautiful imagery aud pa-triotic
seutimeuts."
We have not room to-day for auy large portion
of the extended notice which the Herald com-mences.
The rail road is 93J miles long. The freight
charged on coal for that distance was 81 65 54-
100. And the cost to the company of transport-ing
it that distance was 54 cents and 38-100 of
a cent per ton.
ANTHRACITE COAL—A valuable deposite of
anthracite coal has been discovered on the farm
of A. W. Cozzens, about 25 miles from Peters-burg,
Va. A company was Ht once started in
Petersburg to work the mine They know the
value of coal there.
We have been amused with the following ar-ticle
from tbe Warreuton News:
"Fui/i/ism.—There are some people whose facul-ties
are all retrospective; they are, or at least
pretend to be, blind to all that is passing around \ the Cape Fear, below Wilmington.
now it was stricken out, by a vote of 3 »to 22
Every free soiler in the Senate, and every North-ern
democrat except Mr. lirodhead, voted to re-consider;
and thus to allow foreigners, unnatural-ized,
to vote The opposition to the granting of
this greatest privilege of citiiensbip to the myriads
of foreigners with which that region swarms,
many of whom cannot even speak a word of
English, was thus confined almost entirely to the
Southern Senators.
In the House of Representatives, the whole
session of Wednesday, up to G' o'clock, was de-voted
to the case of Mr. Gilbert, one of the four
members proposed to be expelled for corruption.
The proceedings and debate were merely prelim-inary
to an opeu trial before the House, which
Mr. Gilbert demanded (doubtless because there
is too little of the session remaining to bring it
to a close.)
A great struggle, occupying nearly all of an-other
day's session, was made to get up the river
aud harbor bills, and particularly tbe bill to make
a further appropriation for tbe improvement of

LEGISLATIVE BULLS.—Other Legislatures be-sides
our own occasionally make ludicrous mis-takes.
A Virginia lawyer once taunted a Penn-sylvania
Judge with an expression in an Act of
thc Pennsylvania Legislature, "that the State-house
yard should be surrounded by a brick wall,
aud remain an open enclosure for ever." The
Pennsylvania^ rather got the better of the F. F.

"A supplement to an act to amend an act, making

LAFAYETTE LIGHT INFANTRY.—This very
handsome company returned to this place yester-day
from their visit to Wilmington and Moore's
Creek. Thc Herald thus notices their appear-ance:
"On Thursday night, about 11 o'clock, the
Lafayette Light Infantry, uuder the commaud of
Capt. Jno. H. Cook, (a new company,) from
layetteville, arrived here in the Magnolia. They
made a handsome appearance, and paraded our
streets till a late hour in the night—each man
carrying his own light, which was a lamp co-vered
over with tissue paper, inserted in a piece
of round wood just large enough to fit the muzzle
of tbe-muskct. It had a very imposing effect.
They are a tine looking body of men, numbering
about thirty in all, and came down for the pur-pose
of participating in the celebration. They
went through the military tactics with a preci-sion
aud uniformity that elicited the admiration
of all who witnessed them. Previous to their
embarkation on the steamer Magnolia in thc
morning, they favored us with more of their
military evolutions, to the great satisfaction of
those present. They embarked about eight o'cl'k
for their place of destination. Fayetteville may
feel proud of such a company."
MAN DROWNED.—A valuable man named Hil-ton,
belonging lo Mrs. McMillan, of this place,
was lost overboard from the steamer Magnolia on
Friday last. Attcmptiug to dip a bucket of wa-ter
from the river, he was dragged 0ff the boat
by the force of the current.

They were commenced in 1837. From 1837 to
1850, tbe government of the State was almost ex-clusively

concluded by stating that be bad resigned his
seat, which he immediately left. The House
was taken by surprise. The resolutions in his
case were tabled—ayes 135, noes 98. A letter
was submitted from Mr. Matteson selling forth as
no trial was allowed Gilbert, he had no right to
expect a larger measure of justice, and he had
claim for democracy the credit of tbe internal im-provements
in North Carolina. It is only within
thc last five or six years that a democrat could be
found who did not charge the system upon the
Whigs as a reproach.
It is very certain that all democrats, either
young or old, do not concur with the Warrenton
News in its estimate of the character of the late
democratic Legislature; for not only do young
Gilbert having resigned, and being no longer
subject to the jurisdiction of the House, the reso-lutions
declaring his guilt and to expel him, were
laid on the table, on motion of Mr. Orr, 135 to 68.
Tbe House next took up the Matteson case, and
a letter was read from him, stating that he had
resigned. A motion to lay his case ou the table
was rejected, 108 to 83. The two resolutions
affirming his guilt were then adopted, 145 to 17.

thc venerable gentleman whose opinion led to
our comparative view, is himself a democrat.
But then he has mind enough to form a sensible
opinion on that or any other subject.
We have never said, nor thought, that "the
nieu of the present day are pigmies." In the
very article on which thc News comments, we
said directly the reverse. But it suits the honsst
purposes of democracy, as represented by this one
of its organs, to attribute such a sentiment to us,
whilst taking care to suppress what wc did say.
There are great men iu North Carolina, but
they are generally in private stations, either of
choice or necessity. We are not, nor protend to
be, blind to all that is passing around us. It
only suits democracy, as represented by the War-rsnton
News, falsely to assert that we are so.
Mr. Welch of Conn, was theu brought up, and
after debate it was resolved that the evidence
was not sufficient to convict him, and so he goes
free.
CHARACTER OF CONGRESS.—In a speech in
the House some weeks ago Mr. Quitman said,
without intending any personal disrespect, that
thc House of Representatives, constituted as it is,
is one of the last tribunals to which questions of
public morals or private honor should be refened.
Such is the character of the House as drawn
by one of its leading members who may be sup-posed
to know what he says.
Mr. Buchanan was to leave bis residence this
morning, aud arrive in Washington this evening.
The Inauguration will take place on Wednesday.
