Satitday, Jat uary 2 t. Mr Docki ry moved a reco isidertiw". of the oie bv which the Westert North Oaro- lina Railroad passed its 13d reading He said perhaps it would be right for him to explain his reasons for moving this recon sideration. There could be no wrong mo tives imputed to him for this action, for it was his intention to leave the Halls of Legislature forever at the end of next week. He had always been in favor of !t Railroad frvil.i our Atlantic co-t to the Tennessee line, one that wouiil go ihioiigh the heart of the State, and by c'i veioping her resources, make her taka thai p.-itioii which sheought. Iu lsi3:) he was a im iiil.t r yi that convention which mi t in the Old Methodist Church, a body which some have sal I was the ablest that had ever be fore or sincti assembled in North Caro.iua. 'I hat Convention considered this scheme and so impressed were they of its ability that a resolution was passed recommending that the Slate borrow S5,til)U,tHl(l with which to commence building it. He voted for that re-uiuttou and advocated its passage. He wa- in f'ave- of the Rad theu und is in fa tor of ii now. It might seem strange then that one so deeply imbued with an Internal Improvement spirit, one who had so early ami so long advocated such a system, should now be making such auioie as he had made. Since, the bill had pas-ed yesterday after noon he had reflected upou it ; he had not slept a nigjit upon it, but he thought a night upon it, ami he had arrived at the conclu sion, that the biil committed the State to tio large an amount in too short a time. He was at iioine a planter and professed to have eoine little knowledge of that business. His expiiit iiee in planting told him that over el'" ping land was very injurious ; that while it imhr yield largely ouc season it would never iifier have in accustomed fertility. While if the laud n ere moderately cropped it woultl vield abundantly from year toyear and s ill maintain its richness. Now, ho feared tiiat iii the passage of the bill yesterday the Sen ite bad over-cropped the State. Ha thought it would be better to proceed cau tiously, building little by little and the farm would he sure never to give out, and furth er he thought that this was often the quick. , -t w a v to accomplish wtii k. It was slow but sure. These two ways of proceeding reminded him of an anecdote heonee heard. A plain good old fashioned farmer, many years ago before the time of Railroads, tart'.-d l rom Philadelphia t Lancaster on horseback. He jogged along at the rate of about I miles an hour ; he fed his own horse, curried and saddled 1 By and bv two y oung men rode up on dashing looking, rich ly c.'juiiisci.cd horses. 'I hey were what wtuh; new be termed "Young Americas.'' As thev galloped swiftly by the plain farm er tne cried out " 1 say, old man, will wa get to Lancaster to-night : ' '' If yon den t go too fa-t," replied the farmer. Towards evening the tanner met up with the yoorjgj im n again. This time tin y were sitting be side the Rea l and the horses were broke down and panting heavily, tine says, "Weil old man when do you think we will get to Lam-aster To-night if you don t eo too slow." Now he was afraid that we were abou' 'O co loo f:t and would cousequcht'y come to a bait, lie did not like this wav of dashing ahead headlong; he thought "it wouid be belter to moderate a little aud go forward more gradually. He moved the reconsideration for the pur pose of offering; an amendment, and after t lie bill w asumeuded he should rgive his vote fur it with willingness. The amendment be intended to offer was to fix the ! w h It'll end of tho first St ctiou at Morgauton and there stop for the present, that is until the tn Xt Legislature, should the lioad be com pleted thnt far before t lit- next -es-ion. With this he thought li.e company ought to be content, f"f it would give them the privi lege of building ju-t as tar as they would be able to build, even if they got all they isked tor iu the bi'l. Ills ereat objection to the bill was beciue it a.!)fd for thi t o
