Wit. A. Smith's Report. As a maf ter of information we lay before our rea ders to-dav the report of W. A. Smith, Receiver of the Western North Carolina Railroad, showing the operations of th said road for 13$ months, commencing April 20th, 1873 aud ending June 1st, . ... 1874. The report informs us tnat tn road is worth 47,963.5.'i more than its value on the 20th of April, 1873 Crcs- ctnt. tne farmer, 1 waul to say a Ulisls.

The manufacturers, tiade, commerce, aud business generally were notstiickeu as if by the baud of paralysis, and star ving men aud women did not march through the streets ot our cities crying for woik or bread, hut receiving neither.
