From the Journal of the North Cards lma AnnualConference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. 47th session, held at Statesville in November last, we gather some interesting statistics. This conference does not extend over tho entire State. Tho extreme Western counties, including Buncombe, are in the Ilolslon conference, and the North eastern counties are in the. Virginia conference. There are within the tcrs ritory of the North Carolina conference proper twelve presiding elder3 districts, embracing 132 pastoral charges.

Wiimiugton is well represented iu tho vast railroad enterprises now on foot in Florida. In fact, our city has turned out some of the best railroad men to bo found in the South. ' The late Gen. Win. MacRae, whoso reputation in railroad circles was national, Col Henry S. Haiucs, now GenT Manage of tho Savannah, Fla. & Western R. 11 aud the Charleston and Savannah R R., and Capt. II. M. Drano, who also fills a high positiou ou these lines and in tho Plant InvcotmcntCompany, a well known railway building company, may bo cited as chief among these There aro also other Wilmiugtouians in Florida engaged in railroading among whom wo recall the names o Messrs. David S. Cowan R. E Lloyd, John B. Ltyd and E. M. Cush ing. Thoso reflections have' occurred to us as the result of a little paragraph from the Tampa (Fla) Tribime which has caught our eye and which says: Oa the 23d day of January. 1855. Colonel II. M. Drano commenced work as a contractor on the old Florida rail road, now tho Transit and Peninsular. to build to Tarn pa. That road did not reach lam pa, and nobody knows when it will, if it ever does. On the 23d day or wanuary, lbsi. Colonel Drane, as agent for tho Plant Investment Com pany, was in Tampa and witnessed the completion of the South Honda rail road, built under his supervision and the first line to reach our town.
