The commissioners of tbe Wester p

C. Railroad, Messrs. Jarvis, Worth and
Vauce, after going over tho works last
week ou both tbe Duck town and Paint
Rock branches, held a meetiug in this
place on Friday morning. The result of
this meeting bus uot transpired at tbe
time of this writing, but it is understood
that hjle tbe question of extending tho
tjnje vras not decided, it was determined
to let the work on the roads proceed with
out jntcj-fpreqco that tbe Richmond and
Pan v ill e authorities would not be inter
fered with as long as tbe work was push
ed with tlmf diligouce and energy" now
manifested. We trust this was the con
clusion of the commissioners;! as, to use
tho language of one of tbe commissioners
whilst bere, ''it would be nu outrage to
stoji the work pow J" We have not be
lieved for a moment tbat the work would
be stopppd, but the people of this coun
try, so deeply interested in the building
of thesp fqds, Jkc4 Vqt &ny ipterferenpe
