A principal difficulty under which w
labor in conducting the great war in which
wo are enzaged iatbe inadeaoacv and dif
ficulty F transportation.' We compare J
worse in this respect with the enemy than
in any other. Their country abounds in
railroads, and they keep them fully equip
ed and in thorough order. They have also
an almost endless amount of shipping, and
the command of tho sea and the principal
watercourses. In horses, mules and wa
gons they outnumber us, & everything
else. Bat have wedono all we could ? Lei us
see.
One of the earliest acts of tne Provision
al Congrest, after meeting in this city, was
to appropriate a million of dollars for the
cnstiuction of a railroad,' connecting the
Richmond and Danville with the North
Carolina railroad at Greenbboro The
appropriation was made at the iustance of
tho President, who represented the work
to be a military necessity. It constitutes
one of the few positivo recommendations
ever submitted to Congress by him. The
advantage of the proposed connexion waB
that it would give us a third line of com
munication with the-South and West, and
would.be much less exposed to interrup
tion by raids than either ot the others. At
tho tirao the appropriation was made labor
was cheap and abundant. Tho owners of
slaves in exposed localities were anxious
to obtain employment for them in tho inte
rior on almost any terms. Six months
would have boen ample time for the com
pletion of tho work. Two years or more
havo elapsed, and if the first rail has been
laid wo have not heard of it. Two years
moro will prooably pass by before it is fin
ished, and then at a cost ten times as great
as if it had been at once let to contract
and pushed forward with proper energy
We have heard that the then Sccietary of
War, Gen. llandolph, proposed to pursue
this course, but some question was ra.6ed
by the.President that lorbado hia proceed
ing. What we have lost and suffered for
want of this road, it would be hard to esti
mate. It is no .secret that we are greatly in
war.t of locomotives, cars. fcc. Thecitvof
J Jackson, Misbissippi, was a point at which
; several railroad converged, and when the
, B1Ccr0 0f Vieksbursr commenced, a larsre
amount of rolling stock was concentrated
there. The bridge across Pearl river had
beon burnt, and this roiling stock could not
be removed from Jackson without thoroi.-

A Move in the Right DiHtc-rmst Tt i

made by him, c f a Major Bradford a Vir.

of the "taxes fa kind," for North Caroli.
na. The tax itself is not popular, though
wo doubt not that the people generally
will submit to it with a good grace, as one
of the necessities of a state of war such as
we are now engaged in. But lo add to the
odioasness of the tax,nd to give cause for
a new complaint that North Carolina was
iDsulted, by the appointment ol a Virginian
to the offlco, waa mott injudicious. We
learn from a gentleman who -was in the
appropriate Executive Department at Rich.
rmnd a few days ago and spoke of this im
proper appointment, that the reason as.
signed for it w;is, that there was no appli
cant from J'orth Carolina for the placo. No,
North Caroliuians bavo been noted for
their anti-oftice-peeking propensities, and
at present a majority ot her men are in the
army, and most of tho others have their
hands full of other business But such an
office as that ought not to have beeu con
ferred upon a stranger without first con
sulting the Govornor or other authorities
of North Carolina, The Teason' given is
therefore a palliation, only, not, a justifica
tion ot tho appointment. We trust, how
ever, that ail unkind feelings towaads
i resident Davis will be removed by the
removal ef tho obnoxious individual, 'which
is said to havo followed a remonstranc
trora Gov. Vance. In the mean time it
had made thousands of enemies wo had

Te Miss. Lfnif W. g.
In childhood's bright nd sunny boars,
Ere we had learnt tbe -world's cdld ways,
We gTe each other frienship'e flowers
We loved each other's praise.
Sid by side we tripped along.
The white wtud path to the old school room j
Bright our faces, gay our seog,
And free our souls from gtoom.
Ah ! little dreamed our bouyaut hearts,
That cithereTer could grow cold,
And pierce the other wilh keen darts,
Fiom the poinard that false friendship holds.
But a chasm yawns between us now
Thou movftt on th tunny tide
I know not wh-nceit came nor how
I only know 'tis deep and wide.
I would njt haw thee clasp again
On r th the binding links of yore ;

Around my yielding heart unce more.
