Ibi* matter.

There is one other thing, in regard to which we hare a word to ny, before we close thte artici*. The subscription, a Cray of which may be seen in the Ware ofApril Ulh, gives the sabreribers the privilege of pa-, inf their subscriptions in work or material, if they choose, nnder proper restrictions ; and the same instrument makes the payments due at the call of the Board, after the futn of $175,000 is subscribed; and the article of agreement from the Board makes the payment of ten per cent payable before they are to commence the voyk- N'ow, the question will arise, how are those who are to pay their subscription* in work and materia!, to pay this ten pe*- cent., when the work is not to

cent.

f payment is made ? The answer is readily given. The fame circumstance existed in the building of the section of the road above Millville. Those subscribers gave their due bill, to the amount of the install ment, payable in work or material when called for, which w«s received us a cash payment. Such will be the case in this work, so that no difficulty can possibly

arise from that score,

N'ow we hare only to say in conclusion, that we think the whole matter is before the! people, in sc clear un4 plain a light,

When at bur ioftsty court last Week, we were gin4 to see that the peepto manifested so commendable a degree of railroad spirit. We were aware that there was » better ♦e-ling » regard to ihaenUrprise than cv«f before—that-there had neverbefore been • so much confidence in a project of the kind manifested, but the feeling we fonnd to exceed our expectations. *Nor is this feeling a were railroad fever, wait iog for a dose of forAgn «r»d to remedy it; but.aseltled con- >

fidence that a;e are now to have something \ . .

- . ■ .. ... j .. be commenced until after lhn ten per

done, because there is a settled confidence , . . „ „„ . . • . : - , .. • payment is made ? The answer u n

that-ire, Ik* people, ore going to do it. 1 r j Woliave been looking for the last eiglit nr ten years for somebody, of very enlarged benevolence, to run a railroad by our doors; but the people, at last, seem to have learned that all such hopes are fallacious; and fh-y seem to have lufc.-n, in a good degree, the right view of the subject—that if we . expect Hercules to help- us, we must first put out own shoulders to the wheel, and

exert ourselves manfully.

But let no stingy soul say, that, because

reap the benefit, and therefore wil*. clench

my dimes, and leave the work for others, doing nothing, or but just enoagh to clear me of the cause. The work is a great one; bat not too great for the people, with a united, unanimous and persevering effort ; end it will require all this to accomplish it;

and a few penurious hersc-befti*. who Wish ! "IT w”* "IT ..

. * . , . , . and tot have, at the end of another ten

to subsist, and grow fat. on pvblie fkanty, i . „ , . , , ■ .. , . . J ; yeor, to rue our folly nnd indolence. or liberality and enterprise, may produce ! ,

a failure in the whole epterprise; and., so j far as that particular class is concerned,

reliable, bosinesr transact ions ever laid before them ; which only requires the united ce-apereliou of the p-ople to carry it into effect. And we hope that every man. will i»j to a helping tyand, according to his ability, that, wilhinTefs than two years, we may see the road in complete operation ;

<5ae or TUB Emccticws — An election, was

held at this place, on Tuesday last, to do termine whether the City. Council should be authorised to subscribe ten ttrosaiid dollars to the capital stock ofJh* MilJvUl.e ; and Gl<Kfboro’|iailcoaH i for the purpose of exteudin^ aaitfroad^ this place. The vote was almost • unanimous ore. only threo voting against the subscription ; s respectable, thongh a nom-what small, minority. The people have thna shown thoir

interest in the railroad enterprise Had the act of tho Legislature permit-

ted, twenty tbostaad might as well been

subscribed.

C^Wheo at the Court House last week, we learned thntthe Rev. Wm. Swinden, of Philadelphia, late pastor of the Baptist church at Bristol, Pa., was lo preach in thp Baptist church st the Court House, on Babbatb lent. Wo presume, though we were not definitely so informed, that it was with a view of eettlement, if mutually sat isfaclory. that the invitation was extended by the church. O'The hall formerly occupied by the Sods pf Temperance, at Cold Spring, has been sold to the Cape School district, near this place, for a school house. His to be removed to the site of the old school house. If droperly tented jt will make the best achool house in the county, and we congratulate the district noon their prospect j of making so important a change in their educational matters.

- Bui we have epoken, abovg of ths .con- ‘ fidence apparent among the people, in this railroad project,so unlike anything before manifested. The reason ef this we have pretty clearly shown in a few pf the -last Imuws of the Wave, but there is one reason which, perhaps, we hsre not, at least but .partially, adverted. It is this.- The largeaeM of the sum required to be raised, before the work can be commenced. This ihight, at first thought, appear iq exert a counter inf nence—to dishearten the people—but. it is otherwise. Had tho eompa-

Wnen at the court Istl week, we saw the post Incky runaway that we ever witnessed. A horse bad juit been harnessed, in the' back yard of the hotel, when he gave the hostler'.be idipt ran oat through the gate, Striking the gate-post, and upsetting the carriage. Ho then ran, with the carriage on the side, nnlil he came to the turnpike, when the carriage righted, and the horse made tracks, as feat ax his legs would carry him.- Several attempts were made to stop him, but to no_effect, except to sheer him oat of fhe road, when h&'would again- take tke pike, as regnlarly as if he had bad a -driver After running abeat an eighth of a mile some oue attempted to stop him, when he took a wheel lo the right, with “n somewhat circuitous rightabout-face, not exactly in military style, and thus retraced hit step/a* fast as ever. When he came* nearly in front of the bote], a crowd attempted to greet him, and one man caught him by the halter, and held him fast. On qsaaioalion, no injury to the horse, ebrriage or harness was found, except a slight one to the bridle, which had fallen from the head of the horse, and was dangling around his fore legs. If any one thinks he can make a more lucky runaway, let him

try it, is alt we hare to say.

The question involved in 4he protest of the Speniah Minister against the capture .of the Marine 'Steamers, is as to their legal transfer from the Spanish owner; to General Miraraon, previous to that occurrence. The amount of money io the U. 8. Treasury, subject to draft, is nearly seven million*, or an increase of upward* of a half a million over the sum on hand at tho close

of the previous week.

There is reason to believe that the House Committe on Foreign Affairs will report a bill providing for a first-class mission 4o Sardipin, in accordance with Mr ^Burlingame's resolution, adopted oo Fridayf last. It was prefaced by a preamble, which hpw. ever, was withdrawn at the request of several gentleman, seiting forth that the kingdom of-Sardinia, by thn recent accession, has been raised to a first-class Power, extending from the Alps to the Adriatic, - and embracing within iu limits the richest, 4nd most populoasportiou of Italy, over which extensive dominion a coutituiional repre. sentelive government has been established, order maintained, and the freedom qf-the press and religion secured. • The treat** which Mr. Prerton^ Uie D/B: Minister to Spain has concluded, provides for the ascertainment and settlement ohAbe

pending claims.

The Mouse Committee on Claims have entrusted to their chairman, Mr. Tappan, of New Hampshire, the examination of a Urge amount of claims,-of those, bn both •ides, for damages sustoioed.in Kansas dur-

ing the trouble*.

The House Committee on EUrt ion* have given in charge of Mr. Msrston a reposin' favor ef the claim ef.F. 1*. Blair, Jr., to the St. Louis seat, now occupied by Cel.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

We.have later news from Europe, by the arrival of the Arago at New Yprk. Par liament had adjourned over to the IGlh lust, or. account* of the Kusier holiday*. Wsrrents have heen issued for the arrest of Ileeimn and Barer*, who. if arrested, would be put under bonds to keep the pence for a year. A revolutionary' movement is announced in 8pain,.in favor of Don CDfe* los .under the lead of Ortega, who with 3pi)0 men has proclaimed Don Cnrlos King. Austria protesu against the annexation of Savoy to France. It is thought probable that a conference of the great power* wilf yet be held on the subject. Great Brilian wHl probably acquiesce in the recent acquisitions. of the King of Sardinia. The* provinces elnifned. by Switzerland have elected five Freach partisans to one of

Switzerland.

Latest.—The last arrival from Europe brings the following news.Sickening revelations regarding . the coolie trade on th« southern coast of China-, have come lo light The revolution in Spain has turned out to be a failure. .The troops endet Gen. Ortega-were deceived si to the object of hi* movements. As soon a* they understood his designs they refused to march and declared for ' the Qneen. Ortega immediately 0ed, and was pursued by his own troops, but had irol been captured. Perfect order and tranquility reigned Utroughoul Spain. All fhe deputies at Madrid had presented an ad dress-to the Qoeen. An attack had been made upon the Neapolitan troops ut Palermo by a few disaffected’persona, but they were soon dispersed, and tranquility was restored in the city.
