THURSDAY, MARCH 5,1857.ao'knctT

Mr. A. R. Smith is our authorized agent at Columbus,North Carolina.

Acts, Reports oud Rrsolntloni.^ £It may not be amiss to notify those entitled tc

copies that the Clerk of the Court, J. B. TollcsonEsq., has received from the oarrier the Acts amiReports and Resolutions.

POBTRT.Our acknowledgments are due to Mr. Paul II,

Ilayno lor a copy of his "Sonnets and other Poems,"through the courtesy of the juuior editor mthe Exprtu

Mr. llayne is associated with YVm. B. Carlislelieq., in the editorship of Russell's Magazine, nn«ime poiwn nna vigorous uiongiit ot those sonnets nugarfavorably of tlie department of the magazineover which it will be his province to. preside.

tub weather.For a period of two or three weeks we have

b en blessed with bright bill my spring weather.On tho lost night of February, however, a changeoccurred, and the approach of March was heraldedby cold boisterous blasts from the frozen north, admonishingearly gardeners that winter had notloosed his icy grasp upon young and bloomingspring. On Sunday and Monday mornings icewhs plentiful, with n heavy frost on Tuesday. Wcfear this sudden change from summer to winter hasinjured the fruit trees, many of whose blooms hodexpanded their petal* under the genial influence elthe latter weeks of February. Perhaps, however,

^ less damage has been sustained than our fears leadus to suppose.The following range of the thermometer will afforda better idea ol the weather than our words:

Sunrise. Noon. 9 p. m.March 2 22 3525" 3 12We hope this "spell" will have brief duration.

k stroxg-miToed woman.The usual monotony o( our quiet village was invadedhist Wednesday by Miss Emerson-on Eaucrn

or Northern importation.the only specimen of thegenus strong minded women we have seen foryears. She drove her own horse, harnessed, unharnessed,fed and watered him, and done otheracts equally unnecessary and masculine, as "minehost" of the Walker House very well knows.evento the putting away of 'inside matter' sufficient tosatiate three specimens of the genus homo for nno: dinary meal.

She trudged through tho mud caused by a showeron Wednesday posting her hills, and did otherthings to make In r preseno felt and known.includingn brief visit to our sanctum. At night she lee-tared.if her jurnble could be called a lecture.atthe old Ilnptisl Church, and stopped just when theaudience (among whom was not a single female.not even a curious wcnch) thought she was beginningher subject.A second night's attempt to show off utterly fail«-d,nud before our people were astir noxt morning,

lie was over the hills and far awn)*. Thus endediho first appearance of a strong-minded woman inSpartanburg.

TUB FBMnVcOLLEflB.We are pleased to learn from the worthy Treei"deiitof the iiistitntion that the Spartanburg Female

College has commenced the Spring Term withninety undergraduates.and before a fortnight thenumber will be swelled to one hundred. This iscertainly very cheering to the friend* of the e >ii« gc,anJ offers a strong incentive to redoubled ez^rdonon the part of the faculty.~Wo are pleased to know that Rev. Mr. Crenm**ha*Y, the new professor, is at hi* post, and has alreadymade himself a decided favorite with theyoung ladies.

During the vacatiou n large Dining liall, withAdditional recitation rooms, have been erected, givinggreater facilities and comfort to attendauoe uponcollege duties, and greatly aiding the faculty in theirseveral departments.

Altogether, the institution starts under auspice*highly fl ittering to a long and brilliant career ofuscluluess and honor.

INSPECTION OF RIFLES.This new and handsome uniformed company,

Capt. G. W. II. Legg, was inspected last Fridayby Brigade Inspector J. II. Evins, on whom thetask had been devolved by Adjutant and InspectorGeneral Duuovant. The company formed At theirrendezvous.the Bontar House.and marched totiic mall near Major Kirby's, where the inspectiont ok place. The ranks were well filled, and an inspectionof the roll showed sixty-five members as

belonging to the corps. We l.-nrn that the Inspectingofliccr was hghly pleased with tlio beautifuluniform, and will report favorably to his superior.The cap is the army pattern, of gray cloth and

white fountain plume. The coat aud pan'.s, graycadet cloth, with green velvet trimming and palmottobuttons. The whole is neat, showy and substantial,and Spartanburg may well be proud of thisbody of citizen soldiery. The company will probablybe fully equipped in time for the first battaliun;nu-»ter of the spring.

HILSTARY" ELKCTION.On the 27th ultimo an election was held within

the limits of the North Battalion of the 9th Regimentof Cuvalry for Major. The following was

the vote, lis reported to u»:

A Mxai rfcn Couri.issKNT..-The following compi ment to Mr. W. B. Carlisle, one of the editors<>f the Charleston Courier, nnd formerly ol Hie ColuinbinTelegraph, is paid by Mr. Baldwin, of Richmond,who recently visited Charleston to lecturebefore the Young Men's Christian Association:"Mr. Carlisle is a yonng gentleman of blight

promise, ol very highly cultivated mind, and oneof the finest specimens of n high-souled and wholesouledCarolina gentleman I have ever seen. liegraduated with great distinction at tho South CarolinaCollege in Columbia, and has applied his finepowers nnd acquirements with unflagging energyto his honorable vocation. It requires no prophetto predict for such a inan a brilliant and useful future.It is no matter of surprise that the journalistsof South Carolina occupy so high a place in therespect nnd confidence of that community, whenwe find its ranks filled hy men so eminently calculatedfo guide and enlighten public opinion."

1Iom.Jamf.sL. Oaa..We find tho followingparagraph in tho news column of the CarolinaTunes of Monday:

'"Hon James L. Orr, ol this State, Is rcry g< iterallyspoken of as tho proper H|K-akcr of the Housein the next Congress. To him nnd lion. J. ClancyJones, of Pa., who refused a cabinet appointment,in accordance with It previous understanding,is delegated the office of leading the AdministrnI.onparty in tho next House."

NEGRO TRIALS.U"mp, the property of Win. Lockwot^, wu

tried before Magistrate G. W. II. Legg and lirefreeholders on Saturday lost, for burglary, in breakinginto the »loro-of Messrs. Lec & Briggs, on the18th ult.,and taking moucy llierelrom. After hearingevideneo and apecchee from counsel, the juryrendered a verdict of guilty as accessory before thefact, and sentenced him to one hundred and fiftylashes in weekly inflictions of fifty, nnd imprisonmentuntil the 16th inst. After the fulfilment of

» this pirt of the sentence,his owner,or whoever may, then have control of the negro, is privileged to reImove him from the State. Should this not be done,

he is then to be re imprisoned, nnd subjected to

1,000 lushes, nt certain stated periods and in specifiedinstalments.We understand Mint an appeal has been taken to

^a Judge nt Chambers, on exceptions. The casewas to be heard nt Union, before Judge Whitner,we believe, on Wednesday night.

' John, the property of Mrs. M. A. Kennedy, whowas inculpated in the burglary, was also placed upontrial before the same magistrate and another jury.' After hearing evidenae and dt fence by counsel,the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.Andrew, the property of K. W. Parker, was

also tried for being concerned, but the evidencewan such as to require a verdict of acquittal.The misconduct of many negroes in our midst

calls loudly for remedy. Gambling and drinkingare becoming fearfully common. These things canbe practised with much facility in the absence ofefficient patrolling. If this necessary duty cannotbe more faithfully performed, we think it behovesCouncil to make provision for paid marshals, whoshould be abroad at nil hours, in conjunction withsuch patrol assistants as circumstances may compelto render service.

While on this subject, we may say generally,that our negro population manifest rapid improvementin unbecoming conduct. We instance theflourishing of canes and open smoking in thestreets. Indeed, we have seen the deadly rifle inthe hnmlii of blinks In lltn IYnsl»-'u-» anrl an nnaH.

ness exhibited in its use that would not hishonnrthefamous Kentucky marksman. There is much thatis wrong in this, nnd the Attention of those who holdthe remedy should be turned to the matter.

Chester has suffered from the absence of disciplinaryregulations, and from necessity has recentlyenacted nn ordinance of restraint. The followingprovision i« worthy the attention of our Council,and, if they lutvc the power, we hope to see it madect force:

"That any slave or free peraon of o lor who shallbe found drunk or shall otherwise misbehave, byacting ins noisy or boistrous manner,or by singingan indecent song or holloning within the limits ofthe said town, shall for rnch and every offence receivenot exceeding one hundred lashes, and anyslave or free person of color who shall smoke a cigarin any street or in nnv open and public placein the town, or shall walk with n oane, club orstick, (except the Inmc, infirm or blind,; shall foreach and every offence leocivcnot exceeding twentylashes."

THE AIR-LINR RAILROAD.At the kite session of the South Carolina legislaturea charter was granted for the right of way

through this State of "The Georgia Air-Line RailroadCompany." J. P. Keed, Ksq., in a letter onthe subject, furnishes the following facts as to itsroute ntid privileges:"A charter has been granted by this State, con

ferring ample powers upon the company, to constructtheir road from the Georgia State line tothe town of Anderson, nnd (ruin thence, in any directionnnd to any point, they may deem expedientthrough the territory of this State, so as to form adirect central line of communication between thegreat Northern and Southern cities of the Union.I have said that the powers by tlie charter in thisState are Ample, and I may indeed add, that theyare very nearly plenary. Unlike most other Railroadcharters heretofore ganted by our Legislature,it is not encumbered with mere matins of detail,which are properly left to the company,nnd embracesin n concise nod simple form such provisionsonly as it is really necessary to provide by statute.i op nmouni 01 mop* necessary Jo secure I lie charter,the time within which it shnll bo subscribed, andtlio period when the work shall la* commenced nodcompleted, nre nli matters left to the decision ol thecompany, and in fact the only limitation ns to time,imposed upon the coui|>nny, is that their charterinsure to them for the |H-rio<i of only one hundredand ninety years, which is quite ns near perpetual,I suppose, as any friend of the enterprise could desire.The right of the company to locate the routeof their road through the State of South Carolinais quite ns ample. The only point definitely fists!in the cha'ter is the town of Anderson, frutnwhence they nro permitted to cunstiurt u road toany point, in their discretion, in the direction ofCharlotte, North Cnrobnn, or otherwise, if theyshould so elect, a connecting l>uk between theGreenville and Charlotte Railroads from the townof Newberry to the town of Chester. Thus youwill see tlivy have the entire upper part of theStale of S mill Carolina over which to select theroute of their Road. Rut 1 apprehend that a naturalanxiety for the early completion of thegrritNorthern and Southern thoroughfare in cnmleinplatiou,and a due regard to economy of construction,will suggest the propriety of adopti. g the Infer alternative,by connecting the Greenville and CharlotteRoads from Newberry to Chester. If thisshou * be the conclusion of the company, they willhave to construct not exceeding one hundred andseventy milea of road, to perfect a connection between Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina; estimatingthe distance trom Atlanta to Anderson atone hundred and twenty-five miles, and from Newberryto Chester at forty-five miles, which I feel asburcd nre extreme figures. The distance from Andersonto Newberry by tlie road now in operationis seventy-five miles, and from Chester to ClinrlottOfifty miles; so that yon will perceive the emiro dmta-ce from Atlanta to Charlotte by this route doesnot exceed two hundred and ninety five miles. Thedistance between tho.se points by the several Railroadsnow in operation is about four hundred andsixteen miles, which makes a difference of one hundredand twenty-one miles in favor of the proposedronto for the Air lane Road. I do not knowthe precise length of other competing routes, hut Ifeel assured ili.it the Air I/no Komi, constructed

I upon tlie route suggested, will be n.>t lo«* thin onehundred miles shorter, between Washington andNew Orleans, than nny other either constructed orin coiitctnpliition. It 1 nin correct in this opinion,tho immediate construction of the 'Air-I/ne Road'is nn object that must induce the Co-operation ofthe capitalist both North and South."

"C0BRUPT10H IN CONGREMTWe stated briefly last week that the CongressionalInvestigating Committee had reported to the ]

ing that n largo number of the members of this tt|House bnd nssoc'.ated themselves together, and edpledged themselves each to the other not to votefor any law or resolution granting money or landsunless thev were paid for it, has falsely nnd wilfully wa

defamed the character of this House, and lias proved lifehimself unworthy to be a member then of.

Reaolrrdi ,That Orsainus B. Mattoson, a memberof this House for the State of Ncw York, be, and «

is hereby, expelled therefrom.The committee also report a bill to protect tlie cai

people against corrupt and secret influence in ma:- haiters of legislation.The New York correspondent of the Charleston .iK

Courier, in n late letter, says: (o ("One of the members of Cong' ess from this State, <

whom the Committee reported ought to b«* expelled, <frpublicly boasted in Albany, some time since, thatlie maac one hundred thousand dollars in Washingtonduring the first session of the present Con- ,j,cgrow." un<

Tl»o Washington correspondent of the Chnrlts- traton News remarks as follows upon the claims of the j?01Committee to the thanks of the country, nnd we jare glad to find our iinmedinte Representative oc- js tcopying so high and honorable n position in drag- '

ging these disgraoeful trniv.actions to the light:"The public owe a debt of gratitude to Gil. Orr ^

of your State, Judge Warner of Georgia, Messrs.Davis of Maryland and Ritchie of Pennsylvania, for j(.(having done so much to bring to its view the menwlio have really corrupted the roiirc<-s fromwhence our laws originate. As for William If. ^Kelsey, of New York, the Chairman of the Committee,upon whoso instance the invtsligationwm. instituted, he has enveloped himself in a

^cloud of surmise, which lias been brought aboutby bit own conduct, nnd which, whether just «t jVunjust, has caused a whispering about hitn to be

^indulged in not at all creditable to him. He wastlio man who nro*e iu his place, terribly excited,about what he Conceived to be an imputation upon

"*

the charneter of the House nnd iill'.-i-wl « lotion *

upon which ihc Committee was raised, lie np- j'('||wnred to cordially co-operate with committee; butwhen the lime came to test his nerve upon rojM.rt- jintc resolutions to expel the corrupted, he showed ^V'the cow leather, nnd withheld his assent to repot ts to jwhich no sane and honest man could reasonably j^demur. Therefore, whenever any credit is attachedto this Committee for the good work it has done,let William II. Kclsey he expected, ntid let Messrs.Orr, Warner, Davis and Ritchie, receive all the

t o mipraise for the same."*"1It seems that the telegraph was in error in stating t|n

llinl the four Black Republican number* were ex ofpelled. The following report of IIousi-procee lines !l"on the 27th reveals the plan l»y which they wereenabled to escape expulsion: ,.ri

Mr. fiilbert. in his spi-ech of defence, denied the tintruth of the charges ng >inst hint, and denounced soithe attempt of the House to fix a stigma oil his citcharacter as unprecedented, He charged the House enwiih gross injustice towards him, and concluded by w.istating that he had resigned his seat, which lie did, T!and immediately left. The House was taken by coisurprise. Resolutions in his ense were tabled by cu135 against 08. A letter was submitted from Mr. N<Mattcson setting forth that as iio trial was allowed tinto Mr. fiilbert, lie (Mr. M.) had no right to ex|>cct tnia large measure of justice, and had reigned Ins nosent. The first resolution was adopted by 145 bitagainst 17 ; the second ndopted, nnd the third ta- eybh-d. | sin

Mr. Davis called up Mr. Welch's esse. | talWin a the House exculpated Mr. Welch from ,n

the cliargi s alleged against liirn by the CorruptionCommittee. 0r

Til* New Mexican Treat*..Mr. Forsythhas concluded a highly important treaty with Mexi- anco. Of course its provisions are as yet only guessedat. The Black Republican journals arc filled withalarm lest it contain features of acquis tion. The c<'Washington Fro, commenting on tlic following rx- ^citract from the New York Herald in reference to

j it, concludes it preposterous to suppose tli.it our go- Jfcrnm-ni would loan Me*.c > sixteen millions on lr>

]rss tangible security tli.an another ' «Iioo'' u! the heirich domain or our neighbor. We think it very 'hiprobable, fiotn the secrecy and anxiety to get the hatreaty to Washington before the adjournment of' ar<

Congress, and ilie ratifications returned to Mexico I'1before its provisions transpire tbero and ovci throw ®oi

the government "f Comonfort TliO following is al

what the Herald says of the objeets of the treaty: *°l

"A treaty was signed last night between the .United States and Mexico, by which the United traStates are to loan Mexico J.10,000,1100, receiving g0us security fi fteen per cent, of the customs; andsome arrangement for more uniestricled commercialintercourse is to he made, as a further eon- ,sideration. Of this sum, $.1,000,000 poee to pay

' "

American claims; and, at the same time, a postal J,n'

treaty poes into operation. With this money the slu(iovermnent can strengthen itself, nnd will be rn>- of<boldenod at once to carry out tlie great reforms of ^tlie day, take ciiurcb property, &c." °

Tlio Washington correspondent of llio Baltimore "
