Witlumt wihiuir to take part in the c.mroversv between these tw. cities, we will simply speak of the - , rtamisot tuc peoje or v naiuam. :uul can upn tne j.egifiaiure to i..nnwl th:s 1 Railroad to do a simple . . t..,.:.... if 1 :,.,,.., :ua oi ouM.cc a uu . dl.-osed to allow tins road to he extended to ( 'harlotiOi we insist that it he extended from I.oekville. instead of Saiu'onl. ami run ahuig the northern sid.e of Deep River by the Gulf: or eh-e that the l. II. Company purchase and convey to the Srate the works of the old Cape Fear and Deep Kiver Navigation Co. Our reasons for this must strike every fair minded man a eminently just, and wo will give them as briefly as possible. In February 1S'1 the General Assembly chartered a Company, to be called the "Chatham Kaihvad Company, to omi-i a ran roan from Ihilel.h to the Gulf in Chat- liam county, for the purpose ot de- veloping tiie great mineral wealth of the Peep Hiver Valley. This was the only object intended, ami for tliis purpose alone va- the char- ter granted. And though the war immediately began, and all works of internal improvements were sus- pended. yet it was thought to be so great a "military necessity" to build this road and thus open the coal and iron mines ot Lhatwam lor tne use of the Confederate Government. that the contractors and others en- gaged in building the road were all cxemptea ironi nnnrary service. The close of the war found the road graded nearly to Loc-kville, when work was suspended until ls.'s The Radical Convention of that year gave to this Company all the works, franchises, etc., of the C. Y. A- 1). 1?. "Vjivi.r-iti.-iTi ( '..inivim- the purpose of aiding them in buildin-their road to the coalllelds. This Navigation Comitany was chartered many years before the v.-ar for the pnrpo-c of opening bv slackwater navigation the two riv- ers as far up as th coalfields, and on this work the citizens of Chat ham spent thousands and thousands of dollars, from which they have derived no benefit whatever. For the State being the largest stock holder, had the works sold, and bought in, th us "freezing out" the thoi-b-if.cd-brl,i.- nil , thcp.natesiockholders. ihebtate then, thromdi the r,.m-r.niiVm ,S -D1.

This would be as near a line to Charlotte, aS th0 Hue from Sauford, and would rnn through A much better country, It would go through the centre of the inexhaustible coaibeds lying coiitig- uous to Peep River, and open up a moS; productive section, Ve hope our LegMatovs will du- lv consider this matter, and boi'-': trrantihir additional favors to thi.- Company, remember, that huid be jut before thev a: thev eroits.
