One of tiis Co.m.mitetc. " One of the Committee," whose commwnica- tion wc cheerfully give place to, will find himself greatly at loss when he learns that we may possi bly know more about this little matter than even he does. e ' . ,- , It was not our intention even in our " rashness; ' to do any i.ijury to the Cumberland Agricultural Society or any individual connected with it. We have in the short time of our Editorial course labor ed as strenuously for the success of the Society as any others in this city. We did this because we be lieve thatAgricultural Societies arc a vast benefit to tlvi community, whee interest and prosperity it is our province to encourage and watch over. But although our "rashness" would 'not provoke us to the infliction of a wrong upon either of the parties, yet we have sensibility enough to know when we are wronger!, and " pluck enough to expose the parties to the wrong. Now, 1 o.v stands it? It is stated that the report was not prepared Fridaj-, and that the Committee were up till eleven o'clock on Friday night with few prospects of having it prepared for publication on Saturday. C f course our correspondent speaks from his own knowledge. But what are the facts ? On Friday a portion of this report was handed to he "pet paper." and shall we breathe it? n clerk of the Cumberland County Agricultural Society teas autliorized to prepare a copy for publication in the " jjet paper'"-'! Yes, gentlemen, and that was on FRIDAY ! ! Ye of the Carolinian were refused, the manuscript to copy at our oica ejpeuse, and to publish at the same rates. But a " pet paper"' had one of the clerks of the Society to work for it, doubtless at the Society's cost, It may be that politics did not enter into the minds of those who were instrumental in doing us injustice, if not, we must put it upon personal grounds, for there can be no other. In either case we feel perfectly able to meet the current. As to the Secretary and other officers we would do them injustice did we not acknowledge that they have displayed great energy and perseverence in the management of their business, and deserve credit for their labors. With reference to the plan pro posed by our correspondent for preparing the list in future we entirely coincide. - -----.

I'ltl-ISl !)!1NT AND FIHKCTOIIS' REPORT. TotleSh,ckh:dktr of the II. & II' 7,'. P. Co: ( KNTi.mt i-:N : The President and Directors, in laying before you their 21th Annual Report, feel gratiiied in believing a comparison of the transac tions of the company for the last two years with its previous history, will give you the most hopeful as surance for the future. The Report of the Treasurer shows an aggregate of receipts oi' S'477,o-j1.7-j ; some $.:JU, "(.)) in excess of the previous year. The cost of operatiug the Road (which also includes the perfecting of what v. as untinished and the repairing of what was in a state of decay) amounts to s21-2,b-jb.7."i, for a state ment of which, in detail, you are referred to the re port of the Engineer and Superintendent. The dif ference between the receipts and the expenses as ex hibited, shows that we ln?ve made nearly 18 per cent, on our capital stock. These profits have been absorbed in the regular contribution of 4 per cent, to our sinking fund 5 per cent, to the payment of the interest on our debt, including premium on ex change, and 8 per cent, in dividends, to our stock holders, leaving a small balance on hand. Our prof- 'ts' im'ce' ai e not us large as the' were for the ear ending uetooer isi, Jrtoi; out wnen 11 is re collected that at tho time we, had the benefit of an exclusive through ticket between the Northern and Southorn-States, (the only rail connection between these noints beinf over nnr line l and that then the outside steamers from Charleston, Savannah and I New York were not runcing in opposition to us -z are truly astonished that the difference is not much greater. During the last twelve months, four new lines of rail connections, (each earnestly and ener getically competing with us) have been established. The outside steamers, formerly, only a few screw propellers, have increased from 7 to lt, and now aro of the largest class of side-wheel steamers. The immense amount of freight which they carry enable them to transport passengers at a greatly reduced price. Under these circumstances we repeat, that the amount of our through travel for the last year should give to the stockholders most reliable assur ance of the future prosperity. Hut while the ele ments of opposition to the great Atlantic Trunk line have been thus fully developed, the managers of this ine have not been renuss.. New connections with it (both north and south of us) are in rapid progress of construction, which will not only ensure greater dispatch of travel, hut mtit diminish expense. Be fore the end of another year, the Wilmington and Seaboard Road will be extendod to a point on the Chesapeake Ray, about SO miles north of Ports mouth, and passengers can then be carried from this point to New York in eight hours less time than is now required for the same service. Farlv in Janu ary, the road across the peninsula of Florida, from, l iinandina to Ced r Keys, wid he completed. This work, in connection wiui a dailv line of steamers bom Charleston to Fernandina, (already established) wm put us in close connection with the vast travel of the O'ulf of Mexico. But, notwithstanding this promising aspect of our through travel, it is our domestic business (both in travel and freight.-) which should inspire us with the most confidence. While the former "ty travel is in excess of any previous year, our freights, in defiance ot all competition, manifest a steady increase. The Rejxjrt of the Engineer and Superintendent demonstrates the great disadvan tage under which this branch of our business (which of all others should be most cherished) labors. His remarks on the policy of our assist ing it, by the employment of a lino of steam-packets between Wilmington and New York, are earnestly recommended to your consideration. And our ability, in connection with the Manches ter and tho Rutherford Rail Road Companies, to support tuch a line, cannot be doubted, The stockholders will perceive from the Report of the Chief" Engineer, that the resolution authori zing thfcohst ruction of a Branch Road from RockyC'-Mount to Tarboro', adopted at a special meeting of the stockholders, held in Wilmington on the PJth of May last, has been partially execu ted. The con tractors, who have given bond with approved security for the faithful performance and completion of their contract before October, 1S6'0, are now at work. A change of both of tho termini, as fixed by the survey, and as embodied in the contract, is earnestly solicited by some ot the Stockholders. This subject is referred to you for your consideration.
