green fields the breeze of fanning forests the circuitous and irregular road walled in occasionally by dense foliage which gave a refreshing coolness to the atmosphere and to catch the unembarrassed currents of air ! which swept through the branches and beneath the bowers nature has spread so lavishly abroad the country is broken between town and the factory but varied with hill and dale as it is it is quite picturesque and interesting the roads are tolerably good we found the factory snug j ly ensconced on the side ofthe noble catawba in a very pretty romantic litlle cove the vil i lage of cottages around pleasantly located on | the shady and verdant knolls makes the place wear a cosy air of rural ease and comforl quite ! delightful the factory has turned out some of the best ■ shirting

citizens their true in terest and to persuade and urge them to \ do their duty to themselves to each other and to their country the facts and ar guments brought forward on that occa sion and the plain and candid manner in which they were stated could not fail to convince every unprejudiced and inquir ing mind of the importance of engaging heart and hand in the greak work of build ing the central rail road i shall not attempt to give a sketch of the speeches but shall content myself with urging eve ry man who feels an interest in the pros perity of the state his own welfare and the welfare of his children to wake up ! and inquire into the matter — trusting that every one who candidly makes the ! inquiry will not fail to be convinced that j his interest and duly leads the way and j that a

if the proper efforts are made i feel confident that success will be the result there is much to be said and much to be learned about rail roads and i hope there will be a general attendandance of the people at hillsborugh en tuesday cf j orange court when they will be address ed on the subject by gov swain and gov graham a subscriber the central road we understand that the directors ofthe wil mington & raleigh rail road company have determined to subscribe fifty thousand dol lars to the central rail road — covenanting to . pay for the same in transportation this is a j most excellent arrangement while it will be j the same as cash to the central road the pay ! ment will not embarrass the wilmington road we hope this step on the part cf the direc tors ofthis road will silence forever the ground less complaints of some persons that cur peo ple are not friendly to the central project — we are anxious for its accomplishment ; and though it would be very important to this road to continue the transportation ofthe great mail yet even the certainty of being deprived of thai service would not prevent our people from de sirin the success of the great state enterprise the citizens here have never been hostile to any general system of improvement there have been cases when projects have been en ; lertained with a view to strike directly at our prosperity without holding out a counlertrav elling good lo oiher parts oflhe state these malicious blows we have endeavored to ward off and have felt the resentment quite natural lo human nature under undeserved hostility —

characters ? there are always however individuals whose sole ' chances for notoriety are based upon inno vations of old established rules and cus toms — men who would take advantage of late popular prejudices to undermine ' the government itself if it conflicted with tbeir almighty dollar influence — but such are to be watched and appreciated only as their local knowledge should give them weight it is unnecessary for us to pa rade our love for the south — we love her institutions — we respect her chivalry ; — and only wish when a change is to come over the spirit of our dream that it may come
