On lhe 1 -til of .September, l"io-,j a sub-criptiou, on beha f of the Stale, ol ? ,(11111,(1111), wa made to tho stock of the j Atlantic and N. C.

The whole road from (ro'ibsborn tithe tciiiiiiiil at 'shopard' Point, oil B.-auforl harbor, is under contract, a largo portion of it is graded, am) another portion exi.mdiu tiiilus west from lhe town of Newborn has been laid with iron, and is now iu ue. On the 20lb September, 1x53, a ubi;tii tioli uf CSJCIMKl was also luado by tlio PlaW to tbo atock of the Vetcrn N. C. Hailroad Company, of wbicli the sum of Ss-iUJ.IlOO haa bus lately been paid by sale of bond. r Tho greater purt of the line of this road hn been 'survey, d, and tho portion of it from Salis bury to a point near Statesville aud thence, 'to the we.t bank of lhe Galuuba river has been located, aud let out to conltacfors and a considerable portion of it baa been graded Fuller information as to these works will no. doubt bu laid before you by '.ho re.-peetivo companies during your session. I 1 have been promised a full report as to the operations un Deep river, and regret thai,. I have not an opportunity to lay the sbUio before you at this time. Some of tbc works 011 the river were damaged 10 some exteut during tlie present year by big!, water, but not to the extent that was at first sniuiased. I wits invited during the pneselit fail by tho directors of the company, to go upon the lii, a of the w irks and see the exteut and progress of the improvement, but my en gagement were sueii that I oould not do so. It is lepre -culed to trie by one of the Slate' directors that the ultimate practicability of the work is beyond a doubt, and that aafu ste uuboat nav igatiou has been obtained to Lock. iiln, 011 Ieep river; that above this point a heavy stone lock ha been deemed advi-able by the Lngiuoer iu charge, and when that i completed, that the navigation vv ill be open o tl- cal fields. IJut that, , some of l;,e oi ler works inu.-t be tej-laci'd, to a con-i lei able extent, by new one of .1 more aub.-lauti.il character ; and that to complete ail the work contemplated and re lieve the company of 1111 oui.-landiug debt of about il "1,(1 .", v hicii ha- greatly elubar 1 s-ed the company in in ,,p, -rations, a farther sum ol about .1.111,0 JO will be re q 1'1-ite. I c.-iu only aid that when mora definite itilorni atwu a to this importaut w j k is received, it shall be promptly laid be fore you. A report i soon expected from the e )ii,iui-si.ii,ei , appointed to superintend the work on Tar river, w bicu, w he 11 received, will be lai l before you. Ii is my purpose al-o in a short time, to fubu.it to you icpoits from other companies, including one from the agent to supeiiuted the construction of the Western Turnpike. He informs ti.e that ill of the road from Asheville to the Ti-iuiesaee line near tbe 1 ick ii)itl'.i.,,-r Mine has beetieompleled, excepting ubout two hundred yards near H avuesiilie, iu the county el Haywood, in relaiiou to wbicti a suit at law is now pending- J know uot what call may be made upon you at the present session for further aid to works of internal improvement. I havo heretofore expies-ed the opinion that the State should fiirni-b liberal aid 10 works of tlie kind, extending llieiii as rapidly as she can, cou.si-tcntly with h, r means of doing so. It was uiei. .aWtx -psVs,-'t 'ot -11ts -it,itr -s-Whether faith, r iippropi ialions sliouid ba ua ide a, tins sess.'oli, aud if so, to wblij eX lent, i more especially yourproviuee to de termine, iind is sol, mitt, d to your wisdom an l b tR-t judgment. I'li itij; the present year, the Statu Geolo-pi-t, lr. Liiiinotis, made known 10 me bis readiness 10 prepare a report of his survey of the State, sq far as completed, aud the matter having been brought to the attenliou of the Literary Hoard, unocr whose! ..'per-vi-ion the law req tiled tlie report to he pub-ii-ucd. IV Km 111 us was requested to pre pare it fur publication ; and the Hoard de termined to have. 1,0 ul copies printed ami bound iu boards, with suivuble piatea and explanatory maps. I he work w a put to press as prepared and furnished in sheets has all beeu printed, and i- now iu the h in Is of the binder, and will be ready iu a short time to be laid be fore you. It was deemed advisable to publish tha report in the manner stated, as it will bo no doubt found worthy uf a place in our own public and private libraries, a well as in those abroad ; and it wa supposed that the number ordered to ho published would furni-h a sulCeient supply for distribution, leaving ropie cuou.-h to reimburse tho State lor the co-t of publication, should the Legislature ordet them to besot, 1. A .state ment of thu co-t of publication will be sent iu with (he report. There wa unexpended and iu the Treasury, of the amount appro priated for making the survey, a sum tuoro than sufficient to defray al! the expense of public iti.m. For reason already stated, I have not bcvii able t read the report; but I have reason to believe that it will be found of much iutere-t, not only lo the mutt of science, b it to the general reader. Tbfl mineral resource? of the State, especially, w."l be fully made known; and it will it seen that, in thi respect, nur State is sec ond to only one in the (7ii,.ij- Iu .,ome other respect the report i inco eplcte, aud more time and further examination are ne cessary. It is doe to lr. Kmtuon lo slate that, for the p.a't two years or more, ho has bad but ouo u.ssi-taM, instead of two, as origi nally contemplated, and that during thu present year a c jiisiderablo portion of bin time lias been 1 essarily devoted to thu preparation of his repa-t, In compliance Willi the resolution of the last (leneral As sembly, be ba alo collected and arranged a cabinet of tare and beautiful minerals which tuny be seen in the tint win;: f lhu Capitol, u l which will be well woilhy of your exiimiuiilioii. Deeming it a matter of much Importance that tbc survey commenced .should be com pleted, I respectfully recommend that tha aot passed for lhe purpose by your prede cessors, be not repealed. I know that many of our fellow citizen incline to the belief, or perhaps do believe, that no benetil will result to the State from what has been done, or what may be done, if the work i. farther7 prosecuted. Such is not the opinion of ei entitle men, or at least of some of them. I have before me now a leiter from one nf the mo-f eminent sieoLigi-ts nu I chemist. in the country, speaking in the highest ti-rins of th.' scientific; dicovciir of Dr. K iu this State, am) of the successful u inner in w hich he bad colli. icte-l the survey.
