City
pro-
tne rauroati uieeiinjr ar me
Hall last night to consider the
the largest and most enthusiastic,
fork meeting of that character,
which has been held in this' city in
many years' It was not only large
and enthusiastic, but it was f 0111-
posed of representative men; iiiwf of
staudiu
character and influence 111
determined that no stone should be
left unturned in the effort to bring
the road to this city and thus con
nect Wilmington by links of iron
with the great and almost illimit
able West and Northwest.
The meeting was opened by a
motion made by Mr. D. G.-Worth,
that Hon. (). P. Meares be called to
the Chair. The motion was carried
unanimously, and Judge Meares,
upon taking the ('hair, stated that
the object of the meeting was to
hear the report of a committee ap"
pointed at a recent meeting which
was held at the Produce Exchange,
which was a very important matte. 1-
a
Wihnington, he said in substance,
had been considered the cradle of
internal improvements in the State,
in the past, and the speaker wished
that she might continue to sustain
that reputation. He paid a fitting
tribute to the courage, patience and
far-seeing sugacity of those who in
the past initiated and carried for
ward to completion the several rail
road enterprises which had brought
wealth, population and commercial
and political influence to our
city. When the present ques
tion was first mooted, he,
with many others, was opposed to
the scheme, as the credit of the city
was then about to be tested by the
funding of the city bonds, but since
that had been accomplished with
such entire satisfaction, he was
heartily in favor of the movement,
and more especially so since the
road was making such rapid and de
termined strides Westward. Among
the many benefits which our city
would derive by making this the
terminus of the road, would be very
immediate, easy and close connec
tion with Cincinnati, which would
give that city a direct route to the
West Indies and South American
ports via Wilmington, which would
be 500 miles nearer than by any
other route. While this would be
of vast advantage to that flourish
ing city it would be ot incalculable
benefit to Wilmington, as it would
make ours an importoht shipping
point to West India ports and also
as a port of entry for merchandise
consigned to the West.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
which were interesting, forceful and
logical, the representatives of the
press of the city were requested to
act as secretaries of the meeting
The committee,
consistim of!
Messrs. D. G. Worth, J. W. Atkin
son, W. A. French, F. Rheinstein
and Pembroke Jones, submitted the
following preamble and resolutions,
which were read by Col. J. W. At

day of September ult., charged with
the duty of presenting to tins meet
in the importance of securing the
extension of the Cape Fear & Yad
kin Valley Railroad to Wilmington,
respectfully report: j
it beinv: apparent that earnest ef
fort is now being made to divert this
road from this, its natural outlet to
the sea, and place elsewhere the
tidewater terminus of this line of
railway, it behooves our people to
bestir themselves lest the advanta
ges which must follow upon secur
ing to Wilmington the connection
with this important State road, and
the establishment here of its depots,
be lost to us.
We. therefore, respectfully recom-.;

In exchange for every payment of;
$10,000, as provided above, the said

liesolvedy 2, That the Board, of i
Aldermen and the Board of Audit
and Finance be requested to re-appoint
the live Commissioners' here
tofore in charge of the negotiations
with the President and Directors of
the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Rail
road Company,- with instructions to
secure, if possible, the renewal of the
proposition as above stated in brief,
or some similar proposition, and this
being done we urge the Board of
Aldermen to submit the question of
subscription to said Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley Railroad, to an elec
tion of the people according to law,
said election to be held as soon as
practicable.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted. Upon concluding the reading of
the resolutions, Col. Atkinson spoke
briefly of the importance of prompt
and decisive action in the matter as'
there were those, who were striving
to have the road diverted to other
points. He moved the,. adoption of
the resolutions.
Remarks were now in order and
Mr. B. G. Worth started the ball in
motion by stating that he was in fa
vor of a subscription and that there
seemed to be no doubt that the road
would have an early connection with
the West. ,;
Mr. J. H. Currie, being called up
on, said that he had -been talking
Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Rail
road for many year's and it was a
source of gratification to know that
at last the people were beginning to
find that he was right and agreeing
with him. He was confident that
the Western connection would be
made at an early day and with Wil
mington with its harbor and ocean
advantages as the Eastern terminus
of the road, the ports of the West
Indies and South America would be
made convenient to Cincinnati and
the Northwest. He also spoke of
the vast mineral resources and of
the fertile grazing country through
which the road would pass and with
which we. would thus be, brought in
direct communication, and argued
that what the Baltimore &; Ohio
Railroad had been to Baltimore, the
Cape Fetir& Yadkin Valley Railroad
would be to this city, and that an
immense amount of traffic would be
brought here over that line- to be
reshipped to: other points, thus
proving of advantage to other lines
of railroad. , He spoke of the per
sistent energy of the people of Dur-

Wilmington would not be behind in
such a good cause, but that her peo
ple would all pull together and work
together to secure the extension of
the road to this city without any
unnecessary delay.
The question was then called for
and the resolutions were .adopted
unanimously. .
It was then moved that the same
committee be appointed to present
the resolutions to the Board of Al
dermen and to the Board of "Audit
and Finance, which motion was car
ried unanimously.
The meeting then adjourned.
Perfect harmony prevailed through
out the entire meeting and there
was an enthusiasm such as has been
seldom seen in a public meeting in j
this conservative citv. The result
