Tlris is the shortest of the prospective routes to California six days Ua time than either the Panama or Nica- ra"ua route. It will place these routes some twelve hundred miles of the line of travel tu the Pacific, and diminish the importance of protracted and perplexing negotiations with the weak and suspicious governments of Nicaragua ami New Grenada. To come from benefits of a national to those -f a Southern character, it is predicted that the adoption of the Tehuantepec route will add grcatlv to the wealth and progress of the South, and transfer travel ami ti a.nc as wen mails from New nrk to cw uneans.

If they find ten feet of a section of land submerged, they take the whole section. And, in this way, the State has stolen nearly all the Public Lands in her border. There is very little chance of her ever becoming poor, when she is unscrupulous, both in this respect and in the payment of her debts. Vet, North Carulina is so extremely honest that she would not take a foot of this Laud ! save her from liquidation. These new State will accept every acre of Land given t them, and will steal as m ich more as they can lay their hands on, but old Noith Carolina must stand still and composedly see her share squandered and irrevocably lost tw her, mi States which have deserved it less than any others.

Our trains are re gular and unfailing in their connecli"ii. The business of ihe lt year has fallen abort of what wa expected, 'in the beginning of the year our receipts were highly promis ingbut the terrible crisis and the low price of produce cut them off, and although, unlike almost all the Roads, (many of which lose 30 per cent.) we hae a gam over last year, it is not such an increase as we expected. It is very clear, however, that our increase is certain, both in Freight and Passengers. The Western Koad will open losntrsvwe in a few weeks, and to the Catawba Valley this Fall, r'rom it we will receive a most valuable snd large accession to our business, beyond a doubt and it will be a trade which hss never, befvre.Jta4br.d.r!iwiV te tery nearly or quite equal to 100,000 in amount lor next year. Ut have good Road of 223 miles main track, and 17 mile sideling together 219 miles with business every year increas ing. Fur the last year our Passenger Trains have done double daily service, and our freight Trains whatever wa required in the train portation, at a cnt of less than 46 per cent. Let our Koad be still kept in complete order and equipment lo do whatever woik I offer ed, and we have little to fear for the future. The road is gaining character and position- its receipts steadily increasing every rear- end ihe same ratio of increase most soon make it a highly remunerative one to the Stoikholders. I he receipts of nrtl profits have been from its first year sufficient lo pay a ds vidrnd, but for the means being of neceity absorbed by the floating debt, not knnwp to exist. .The cost of the Koad, ss it is com ptete, eiceedi its rspital stock largely, bat it should be remembered that the distribution ol profits, the dividends will only be upon the capital ol 4.0H0,O00, on a work of roui.li greater cost.

That showing Ihe disbuisement ac count ol the past Ihree years, during the time of the present administration of the Koad, has been made out by reference back to every warrant in detail, and can therefore contain no error, it must show, with perfect accura cy, the total payments of this period duly ap portioned, so that Ihete can be no doubt as to the nature ol disbursements for anv ac count. Whether these disbursements should he made was not a question submitted to Ihe discretion of the Hoard. 'I here remained debt unpaid, on construction acconnt of for mer years, which had lo be metj there re mained important work unfinished which had to be completed lliere were works of recon struction which ha.) lo be refiuiahed when needed, and of ihe whole disbursement ac count, there is ho part not considered to be a work of necessity for the safety and' best interest of the Road. To see the extent ol this work, reference may be hs.l to the last An nual Report, describing it in detail.
