There is an immense significance in the above paragraph. A railroad, just completed by the aid of almost unlim ited subsidies from Congress, is locked with snow and ice for weeks, causing great damage to vast commercial in terests, and untold physical suffering to several hundred train, hands and pas sengers. .Many have frozen to death, and some have starved. / . It would seem that the experience of the whiter might be sufficient to con vince Congress that a more Southern road to the Pacific ought to bo built without delay. It is well known, and was well known a"', ihe time the North ern Pacific road was under construc tion, that the Southern route was much nearer, cheaper, and also more practi cable, because through a milder region, where detention from snow could never occur; but the public mind of the North was not at tin t time in a humor to lend national aid to any great enter prise of whose bene ts the South would get any considerable share; and the road was put through on the upper route. As the public iniiul settles into the conviction that a Southern line must B«ebuilt, we see Northern railroad com- ftiiuations reaching out to make such connections with the great inter-ooe tuic highway, ns will still draw the trade of l»oth worlds to the Northern markets. It would be well for tiro stockholders In Southern roads to forego, yet a little Jnngcr, the tempting bait of increased dividends offered by those gigantic com panies seeking to control the feeders to our home markets. It is a grave out rage that roads, built by the aid of cur principal cities—as Charleston, Augus ta and Savannah—and of our princi pal railroads—as the South Carolina, Georgia and Central—should he bought or leased by the great monopolies stretching toward Baltimore, Philadel phia and New York, for the purpose of diverting the trade which naturally flows to our Southern ports. There may be no help for this state •of things, since the channels of com- •merce are largely controlled and shaped •by the influence of capital; but we may wait vet a little while for the de velopment of the great national neces sity of a more southern Pacific road. This road will turn the tide of immi gration to some extent through our •borders. The fact that immigrants have been ibeguiled into the frosty region along rthe North Pacific road, and suffered mntold hardships from the rigors of a •climate which was declared to be as ■mild ns that of Central Europe—may very soon turn the tide of immigration southward, and hasten the development which the corrupt devices of Northern rings has sought to retard. Let once the fertile and salubrious wilds of the .South l>e fairly open to the world, and it will soon be found that the march of Empire goes not Alone toward the setting sun. English Ignorance.—The Lon don Times of January 2241 contained an article on Southern finances which * -.hfouittr ignorance^* tue smt4- of things in lllla part of the world, i Tins 4jjior declared that the eflergeliu nieuagh thejtorth had gone South and projected railroads, and entered upon a career of general improvement, which the Democrats, consisting of the old planters and their adherents, opposed.

Now, in 1872, we arc iu exactly the same posi tion that we were in 1832 and 1852.— A new census has been taken—a n?w apportionment biil passed eight mouths before the Presidential election, and the election must be in accordance with it. In November most of the States choose new Congressmen, elected under the new apportionment. It would be singular indeed, if, on that day, in No vember, 1872, we should vote for Con gressmen under the apportionment of 1870, and for Presidential electors un der that of I860, both the new Con gress and President to take their seats on the 4th day of March, 1873.

It was begun on the 14th of January, and at our last accounts (Feb. 16th) it had not lieen concluded. • An entire trial which occupied ns much time as has been consumed by this address The North Carolina Radical Banditti. Startliug news reached the city yes terday afternoon to the effect that Henery Berry Lowery and his gang of outlaws had entered the town of Lum- berton sometime during Friday night and committed the boldest and one of- the most successful robberies ever known in this State. To our corres pondent “Poster,” atLuraberton, we are Indebted for the following particu lars: The gang, it seems, first broke into Mr. Newberry’s carriage manufactory, | where they' supplied themselves with such tools its they me led.' They then visited the stables of Mr. Fuller, where they secured a horse and dray, and Mrs. Gehan was found as it was laid thus prepared, proceeded to the’ store upon the road ; a coroner’s jury “ sat 0 f Mr. A.

The infernal mummy, though tottering on the brink of the grave, still burns with all the revengeful fury and hypocritical cant that marked his career while he was spawning calumny through that cess pool of slander, the Knoxville Whig. It is a most sad and sickening illustra tion of the demoralization of the times, that such monuments of depravity should be (Kiriuitted to mark the places onnc c insocrated by Senatorial dignity And ui-dom. If anything were needed f/» stamp with eternal infamy the hates ca<t revenges of radicalism, it is that this renegade sou of the South—this trembling, mocking old reprobate—is their exponent. restricting hiuiseif to a day and a half. But it was necessary, inasmuch as the jury were now to hear for the first time a connected account of the case from its outset, that he should still detain them. This, however, he would not do one moment longer than was abso lutely necessary. Both the Lord Chief Justice aud the jury at once expressed the opinion that the Attorney-General had not wasted a single moment since he began to speak. No Fear of the Mongolians.— The question of Mongolian immigra tion does not seem likley to become difficult for many years to come. The Commissioner of Mining Industry shows in his recent report that to the 35,933 Chinese assigned to California in the census of 1860, the census of 1870 adds only 14,377, although ex traordinary efforts had been made to induce emigration from the Flowery Land. In all the Southern States there are but 868 Chines, and in the middle and Eastern States but 178.— In the mining sections we find 1,949 Chinese in Montana, 3,152 in Neva da, and 3,330, in Oregon. In the Territories alone their total is 7,075 iu aggregate population of 44,730—ex cepting the Indian Territory. It is evident from these statistics that the white workingmen of the North and the Pacific coast nnd the colored la borers of the South hnvc hut little to fear from the competition of cheap Chinese labor. Meantime the “Heath en Chiuee” at North Adams, Mass., brought there a year or more ago to work at shocmakiug, hare improved very much, assuming the American style of dress and habit. Three-fourths of them ntteud Sunday-school reg ularly, and have acquired a considera ble knowledge of the English language, most of them being able to read and write. They luul no festivities at the ‘ Chinese New Year,” which occurred last week, though they suspended work, and visited their friands. It is said that fifty more will be brought from North Adams this spring. Gov. Reed, of Florida, has been impeached by the lower hraneh of the Legislature, and is now on trial liefor the Senate. Outlie 10th inst., the Assembly Committee appeared before the Senate nnd presented twenty ar ticles of impeachment against Harri son Reed, Governor of the State, charg ing him with high crimes and misde meanors, in the overissue of bonds, embezzlement of the public funds, bri ber)’, and corruption in office. Gov ernor Reed was formally notified of the proceeding, and on the same dav retired from office, when Lieutenant- Governor Day was sworn in and enter ed upon his duties as Governor. extract the following account from the Union and American: The fire commenced in the bindery, and as the house was closed since 6 o’clock, yesterday evenin'*, its origin is not known. This was the individual property of John Loeken, of Philadel phia, Pennsylvania, and was uninsur ed, though the building belonged to the company. The loss in machinery, etc., to this department, amounts to over $20,000. There had been an in surance on this until the present year. Under the bindery were the press ror.ins and stereotyping department of the company, the contents o. which, together with some small account books, and the library of Dr. T. O. Summers, containing some of the most valuable volumes in the South, were destroyed. The fire was cheeked wheu it reached the rear of the book house, on which there is an insurance oft? 10,000, equally div.ded between the Audes aud Ten nessee companies. This building sus tains no damage. What the loss will be can not at present be arrived at— Printing mateaial, thecoinposing room, etc., with machinery and books, were burned. Including the above amount on the building uninjured, the com pany had 850,000 insurance on the stock and buildings destroyed. This amount will not approximate the value of the buildings and stock. Oue of the most important railroad enterprises now progressing in tlze southwest is the Houston and Texas Central Railway. Commencing at Houston, it runs North three hundred nnd fifty miles to Red River, and West oue hundred and seventy to Austin, with a branch to Waco forty miles, tasking five hundred and sixty miles, and running through the most popu Ions, thrifty and productive pOrtiou of Texas.

An Editor in the Field.—We learn from the Macon Tetryruph, that Colonel C. W. Styles, of the Albany News, has been nominated as the Democratic candidate for the State Senate from the Tenth district, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of F. O. Welch, of Michigan. The district has a large negro majority, but as the Georgia negroes, as r. general rule, are disgusted with voting, the Colonel may win the race. The heart of the patriot and Chris tian is made sad by the oft-recurring announcement of the death of one of those grand old gentlemen whose lives aud character so briliautly illumined Georgia’s history during the first half ofthc present century. Perhaps no peri od of the world’s history has been so marked iu the production of great and good men, and no locality so tavore.1 as this good old commonwealth of ours. These Georgia gentlemen of the “ old en time” are passing away; within a short period we have chronicled the death of our great Chief Justice Lumpkin, whose big heart and bound less benevolence made his name a house hold word throughout the State; follow ing close after, fell suddenly in New York, Georgia’s favorite son, Cobb, the patriot, the statesman and the jurist; and then was announced the, death of the eloquent and erudite Ncs- bit—he whose silvery-tongued elo quence had charmed Senates and held spell bound the stern majesty ofcourts- wlioso pure life and Christian charac ter won the love and admiration of all our people ; and now we, in pain and sorrow, add to this honored but mourn ful list the unme of Col. John Bill- ui*s, who died suddenly, at his resi dence in Athens, on the 13th iust. Col. Billups was a true type of that class, now fast passing away, whom we foudly style “ gentlemen of the oldeu time”—gentlemen of courtly manners, fine accomplishments, stern integrity, pure patriotism, and the very soul of honor. In addition, CoL B. was a man of marked ability and learning, and was often called by his fellow-citizens to offices of high trust and honor. He represented his county, Clark, in the Legislature, aud was made at ono time President of the State Senate; and al though it was during a period of high political feeling, never an unkind word or thought was spoken or entertained against him by any of the members of the opposite party. All acknowledged his ability and impartiality, and hon ored him for his firm but affable and polite rule. If there was any one virtue which predominated iu the character of this most worthy gentleman, it was his love of truth anil justice, tempered with a charity as wide as the weakness and follies of human nature. He was in capable of entertaining an nnjust or an unworthy thought. In all his prolong ed and varied dealings with his fellow men he acted upon the theory that native but to accuse the murderer and his accomplice of murder in the first degree. The jury retired and after a brief absence of ten minutes returned to their seats. Great excitement prevail ed throughout the court room. The murderer ami his beautiful accomplice sat pale and trembling in the dock.— Her face turned snow white during the moments preceding the reading of the verdict. The terrible word “ guilty” being uttered, the young woman sobbed aloud; but her companion hung his head sulkily. ' His Lordship committed them to the gallows, to be hanged on Friday, the 2d day of February, in the north-east yard of the court house of St. John’s. Last night I visited the condemned in their cells. The woman refused to re tire, aud walked too and fro in her cell, with her face buried in her handker chief. When spoken to she rarely an swered. Her profuse raven hair fell disshevelled over her magnificent shoul ders She wore a aeat black dress, a narrow white collar and a plain brooch. Gehan sat upon the j*allet in his cell with an air of nonchalence, smoking a pipe and talking freely with the warden. On being questioned concerning his chances of being reprieved, be replied in a surly mauner, and all he said to me was, “ I’ll give no one any satisfac tion about it; it’s all over now and they did their best.” At midnight lie retired; but first inquired alter Johan- nftli, bis accomplice, and begged that some one would tell her that he had asked for her, and that he hoped she would die “ game” beside him. Here the priest, who had arrived a little be fore twelve o’clock, interposed and told Gehan that he wished to communicate with him. Gehan submissively con seiited to receive the advice of his spir itual counsel, after which he retired for the night. At five o’clock he was aroused from his fitful sleep and re- commeuded to prepare himself for the last offices of the church of which he declared himself to be a member. He then ate some mutton chops, toast and coffee with great relish, alter which lie said that he felt “plucky.” But the more worthy object of hu man sympathy in this case was the frail but lovely creature who sat wearied yet sleepless upon the miserable pallet with in her last abode on earth. Her tears had steadily fallen during the night, but when the priest announced himself to her she cried aloud for many mo ments before speaking to him. At length she succeeded iu calmiug down her grief, but only to hear from her the detractive and plaintive appeal: “ Oh, Father! for the love of sweet Jesus save me! save me!” But it is the policy of religion to ofier a hope of re prieve to men under sentence of death for murder. The priest then led her thoughts away from earth. She slow ly grew resigned to her fate. At 6.30 o’clock a company of |>olice- ruen marched into the yard, and ujion hearing them the doomed woman shud dered involuntarily, and had new re course to tears. On leaving her cell at the request of the sheriff, she drew back and sobbed hysterically. Being quietly pressed to move on, she ad vanced a step and again shrunk from the terrible journey. At length it was found necessary to employ violence in removing her from the cell; but at the request of the assisting clergyman she was allowed to remain quiet for a few minutes until he found means to per suade her to obey the sentence of the law. The priest finalhrsucceeded, and takiDg^ber by the hawrhe led her out in the passage way, where her dress was looped, her arms pinioned and the fatal noose adjusted. Iu-the meantime Gehan, dressed in a suit of black, had been fitted out for his leap into death, and he stood beside his bcautful ac complice, “ Poor Johannah,"said Gehan aloud, but the condemned woman did not even raise her eyes toward him. • She hung down her head meekly atid seemed ful ly to realize her shame. But her tears had all dried up and sobs hushed; nothing save an occasional sigh was left of the grief and distraction of her last night upon earth. “ Are you ready?” asked the sheriff, and Gehan answered promptly, “ Yes, sir.” Gehan then received the black cap, as did also the unfortunate Johannah. Geban, accompanied by a clergyman and two deputy sheriffs, led the way to the cortile of the court house. A:i- vesterdny morning, as soon as the loss was discovered, the Sheriff" being absent, his Deputy, Mr. Alex. McMilan, summoned a posse of men ami started in pursuit. At n point about three mil -s from the town they came lip with the gang, but, being too weak to eficet their capture, a mes senger was sent Lick for reinforcements. A large number - f men immediately volunteered, and proceeded at once to the scene, but the robbers hail effected their retreat, carrying off with them the money, but leaving the safe and a portion of the papers behind. These, with the horse and dray, were taken back to the town, when it was discov ered that the safe had been forced open with sledge-hammers and cold chisels, with which the gang lmd provided themselves at Mr. Newberry’s estab lishment. The loss is very heavy nnd consists of §22,000 in money, taken from Mr. McLeod's safe, a lot of goods and a number of valuable private papers from the Sheriffs office, wliiuh were destroyed. Nearly all the money stol en was of deposits, which, as there is no bank in Lumbcrton, bad been placed in the safe by different parties for safe keeping. Besides some §1,000 worth of merchandise was taken from the store, none of which was recovered. The books and papers contained in the safe are all secure. It was plainly evident that the store had been entered bv means of keys, as was also the Sheriffs office. Treach ery on tho part of so-called “ detec tives” is suspected, but this may lie all supposition. The town has been in a tremendous state of excitement, which had not alia ted but very little when our informant wrote us. It is certainly a bold and daring rob bery, and one sufficient to paralyze an entire community. But it should act as a most powerful incentive to the capture of the gang that have laid waste the county of Robeson, and watereil its fertile places with the blood of its best citizens. selves behind him. They are not all cripples; all the rest of them can walk ; I will prove what I said against every one of them. And it is because they know that I will do it—it is because Reed of Florida, and Scott of South Carolina, and Davis of Texas and all of them know that I will prove it— because they know I have been pronii- nent in getting up a report which will Ik- Lio:e the coun ry iu le.-s than a week—that they are trying to blacken me so that when people take up the report and read it they may say, “ Oh, it is that Beck, who was a negro driv er, that says this.’ That is their game. Thut is the reason why they selected a poor old imbecile to attack me.” Disavowing any disrespect to the Senate, and quoting from its more glorious traditions, Mr. Beck conclud ed by saying, he had not said anything to reflect on the Senate, but when lie saw vultures sitting in tho nest of the eagles, and babboons taking the place of the lions, he protested against the outrage. He wanted to keep the Sen ate pure and high-minded ; he wanted to see the States represented by hon orable men, not by men who forced themselves in there at the point of the bayonet, or by fraud, corruption, chicanery, or ostracism. t ra „.po rt M.ony^>^;. eight In unlimited quantities. freight i Via Portsmouth and Inland Air Line.
