The stockholder' Meeting. The official proceedings of the meeting held at the Court House yesterday have not yet been received. We state the substance of the most important busi ness. The report of the President and Directors was received and referred to a committee, who made a re port thereon, through their Chairman, Dr. F. J. Hill. A resolution, instructing the President and Directors to memorialize the next Legislature for an amendment in the Charter of the Company giving the election of the President to the Board of Direc tors, was negatived by a large vote. A resolution to raise the salary of the President to $2,500, as also an amendment to that resolution making it $3,000, were lost. At the eveniner session, commencine at seven o1- - . c clock, an election was had for President and Board of Directors. Hon. Wm. S. Ashe, having received a majority of all the votes cast, was declared duly elected President of the Company for the ensuing year. The candidates voted for were Hon. Wm. S. Ashe, Wm. A. Wright and John C. McRae, Esqs., and General James Owen. Previous to the vote of the State having been cast, the vote stood, as nearly as we recollect, about as follows : Mr. Ashe, some thing over thirty-one hundred; Mr.. Wright, between twenty-nine hundred and three thousand the bal ance of the individual Stock being divided between Mr. McRae and Gen. Owen. The State then voted for Mr. Ashe, which gave him a decided majority of all the votes cast. After the election of President, the Stockholders proceeded to the election of seven Directors, the old Board being elected, with this difference, that Gene ral Alexander McRae was chosen in place of Mr. Wright, who has been appointed a Director on the part of the State. A resolution for the establishment of an office in New York, for the transfer of Stock was lost. The recent Schuyler developements have destroyed con fidence in New York Transfer agents. We believe that we have given the gist of the do ings; the report of the Secretaries which will probably be ready for publication to-mQrrow, will furnish the details, which will no doubt be found interesting. Having given the most essential items we do not care to occupy our 6pace by anticipating that report. Naturally enough perhaps, there was some feeling in regard to the election of President. But this will pass away to a great extent, as it is the obvious in terest of all concerned that it should do so, and we should consider ourselves inexcusable if we willingly used any expressions calculated to perpetuate other feelings than those tending to the promotion of har mony and good-will. The new President, we feel confident will have a fair showing, and we feel equal ly Confident that his best exertions will be used to justify the choice which has been made, and ta merit the confidence reposed in him. A sense of justice demands that we should accord to General McRae the mede of praise which he has fairly earned by tbe faithfulness and ability display ed in his long and successful administration of the affairs of the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad com pany as its president. He carries with him into his retirement the respect and gratitude of the Stockhold ers. Daily Journal, lOtk inst. The Pretldency of the W. V R. R. R. Co. We notice from the Herald of yesterday that that paper : feels bound to comment" on what it consid ers an " extraordinary result," namely the election of Mr. Ashe as President of the above Road. As we remarked yesterday, we desire to avoid the use of any exptession calculated to excite or keep alive unpleas ant feelings in the community in regard to this, or, indeed, upon any other matter, and shall therefore forbear reply to the Herald's remarks until it has fin ished, as we see that it promises to recur to the sub ject again. In the meantime, it might be as well to remark that the stock held by the Manchester Rail road Company is strictly private stock, and the vote given by the President of that Company was in accordance with the wishes of the Stockholders and Board of Directors of that Company, and to tally free from any influence on the part of the Executive of the State of North Carolina, as well as above party considerations. The propriety of attack ing the Manchester Company.is a question we submit, to the consideration of the Herald and the community for tbe truth is, that the attacks made are really direct ed against that Company, as represented by its Presi dent. The position of the ballot previous to the State vote being given was Ashe, 3,129; Wright, 2,949$; the State simply voted for the highest can didate on the list. We shall take occasion to coolly and calmly re view this matter when we have before us all that may be said upon the subject. Ibid, llth inst. New York Elections. The result of the election for Governor is still in doubt, as no calculations can be based on what re mains to be heard from, founded upon that which be regarded as an administration triumph ; hence they went for Ullman by common consent, perhaps by a preconcerted arrangement, including circulars or special messengers to all the bard shell clubs through out the State. At any rate they have thrown tbe bulk of their vote for the candidate of the Know Nothings. Several of the "Silver gray" Wbigs did the same thing, and thus the political Melchisedech has received a mo6t remarkable vote, but not quite enough to make him Governor. Ibid, llth inst. Some"Tatkr." Mr. Alonzo Nixon has presen ted us with a Sweet Potatoe, raised on his plantation, on Topsail Sound, New Hanover county, which weighs six pounds and one ounce. It is " some later." We would like to see if any one can beat it. Two weeks later from California. The Steamer North Star arrived at New York on the 9th inst., with California dates to the 16th ult. She brings $1,700,000 in gold on freight. The Steamer Yankee Blade left San Francisco on the 30th of September for Panama, and was wrecked on the following day. She bad on board 800 passengers, besides her crew and firemen, when she struck the reef rocks, off Point Arguello, 15 miles above Point Conception. A heavy fog hung upon the coast, which was the s . i i mi J it. . cause ot tne disaster, ine captain supposed me steamer to be twenty miles from the coast at the time of tbe disaster. The 6cene among the passengers is represented to have been awful, fifteen of whom perished before they were rescued. There was a terrible scene of pillage on board after she struck, and before the passengers were rescued by the steamer Goliah. All the specie on board, amounting to 153,000, was lost. The ship is a to tal wreck, having soon washed to pieces. Henry Meigs has committed forgeries of Comp troller's warrants, the stock of California, papers, &c., to the extent of 1,600,000, and decamped for parts unknown, with his brother, John G. Meigs, in the bark American, which they purchased, stored and armed for the purpose. The trial of Colonel Walker, ex-President of So nora, u progressing. A Battle in the Pacific A French fleet, con sisting; of three frigates and a sloop of war, arrived at San Francisco on the 3d inst. iney nau, in con junction with the English fleet, made an attack upon the Russian town and fort of Petropoulowski, in Kamschatka. The English and French were repulsed with a loss variously estimated at from one hundred to about double that number. The British Admiral Price, who commanded the combined fleet, was killed by a pistol shot during the engagement, and it is supposed accidentally shot himself. Two Russian vessels had been captured by the allies. The British ships sailed afterwards for Van couver's Island. had still was The Legitamists are preparing tor some new move ment. - :- - -' Mr. Soule prohibited from entering France. The London Times says : We sire infemed thai the Hon.

The London Post, in announcing semi officially the acquisition of Sam ana, says: " It amounts virtually, if not absolutely, to the annexation of St. Domingo. The acquisition by the United States of so important a position as a position threatening on either band the Spanish Is lands of Cuba and Porto Rico, and so directly affect ing the British West Indian possessions, cannot be re ceived indjnerently. China. The arrival of the overland mail been telegraphed to London. Canton, up to the 9tfi of September, was besieged, and the distress of those in the city great. There was no tea ready for shipment. The Insergents yet hold Shanghai. The American clipper ship Comet had arrived at Hong Kong from Liverpool, in 84 days. Luter from Texas. New Ohleans, Nov. 8.

The former vote of Counties affords no means of making even an approximation to their present vote. So far as any calculations can be made, they point to the re-election of Governor Seymour. One day's returns places tbe contest be tween Seymour and Clark, the next between Sey mour and Ullman, (the unborn man,) but still Sey mour is ahead, and the probabilities are two to one that he will continue bo to tbe close. The Bronson faction is nowher- literally nowhere and that fac tion is at tbe point of death in New York, where the Democratic party is fast becoming a unit. Twenty six Congressional Districts heard from ex hibit the following results : Nine Democrats, thir teen Fusionists, two avowed Abolitionists, one "hard" KnowNothing, and one "silver-gray" Whig have been elected to Congress. The Fusionists may all bo set down aa Seward Free-Soilers. The Democrats, whether "hard" or "soft," will support the Admin istration ana oppose agitation for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law or the Nebraska Bill. The -nam" Know-lNothing and the " silver-gray" Whig will probably also oppose agitation, and will certain ly growl at the Administration. Fernando Wood. Democrat, has been elected Mayor of New York, by r m amajoruyoi ine Know-Nothings have held a meeting, in the Park, to denounce his election as the result of fraud. From all we can learn, neither Wood nor Baker, bis Know-Nothing competitor, were M.w.uy me men we snould like to support. As for cheating, that seems to be a matter of course in New i or, anu an parties appear to be " tarred with tbe same stick." Th Knur Vort Ul J ...... --w iaiU tsavs iaai me jjfimocratiA Hards generally voted for Ullman they saw that Bronson had not the ghost of a chance. They could not vote for so strong an abolitionist as Clark, and their spite at the administration led them to vote for somebody to defeat Seymour, whose election would O.VE WEEK LATER FROM EIROPK. The Royal mail Steamer America, arrived at Hali fax, on the 9th, bringing Liverpool dates to the 28th, being one week later. The intelligence by this arrival is quite interesting, though there is nothing decisive from the seat of war. Commercially the advices are very important. Sebastopol at the last accounts was still being bombarded by the allied army, but it had not been taken. Austria and Russia are on the poin of actual war Mr. Soule, the American Minister to the Court of Spain, has been prohibited from Entering France. Progress of the War. The latest advices show that but twenty days elapsed between the departure of the besieging armies from Balaklava and the open ing of their fire upon Sebastopol. Tbe batteries ware ready on the 15th, and on the 17th the fire opened from the land and from tbe sea. The bombardment continued till night, the Rus sians losing 500 in killed and wounded. Admiral Korileff was among the killed. The fortifications suffered but little damage. On the morning of the 1 8th the bombardment was resumed from the allied batteries only. The Russian dispatches say the garrisons make frequent sorties. When the mail left Constantinople on the 16th five steamers had arrived at Balaklava with those wounded in repelling a great sortie from the Rus sian forts, twenty thousand strong. Lord Raglan and Marshal Canrobert had formally summoned Sebastopol to surrender, and required that the women and children- and the sick should be sent away and that flags should be hoisted upon the hos pitals. So far as known, the Russian army is concentra ting on the Upper Belleck, and already numbers! there 45,000 men. j The allied army is divided into siege army and j army of observation. The latter is posted on the ex tensive table land which separates Balaklava from iSebastapol, accessible only from two points. The Russians were hovering on the outside ot the allies' positions, and on the 7th they made a strong demonstration on the north-west extremity of the camp, but were kept in check. Finally they retired without a battle. On the 2d, 5th and llth of October the garrison of Sebastopol made sorties and destroyed some small work. On the evening of the 5th a convoy of transports wiih 4,000 Russians succeeded in entering Sebasto pol. The allies number 110,000 men at Sebastopol, and 8,000 additional French troops were ready to em bark from Marseilles on the 21st, and 8,000 Turks from Varna. Letters say that the allies have 300 guns in their batteries, and after a few days' firing an attempt will be made to storm the garrason, which is estimated at 40,000 men. Admiral Machinoff, who commanded at Sinope, is the commandant at Sebastopol. He has published an address saying that he will defend it to the last, and that any one is welcome to shoot him if he does not. Advices from Constantinople to the 13th say that the Russians had retaken Eupatoria, the English gar rison of 500 men retiring with the loss of one gun. This is however denied by the English papers. The allies have sent a force, under General Bos quete and Achmet Pacha to Pcrekeof, to prevent the advance of the Russians. Austria and Russia. Affairs look stormy between Russia and Austria. A great council of war has been held at Vienna, at which the Emperor presided. t is reported, in connection with this tact, that Austria has summoned Russia to withdraw from the rontier of Gallacia. army has been put on the 26th the garrison of Vienna to march in at forty-eight STEAM BOATS. 2.403 31 18,871 55 44,434 82 37,-03 08 96,516 15 $173,254 05 12 $ 54,866 58 Repairs Wood Subsistence and Pay $2,002,153 04 773,650 85 2,900 00 950 00 100,000 00 3,150 00 45,241 32 &c. .

By a reference to the Treasurer's aceounts herewith sub mitted, it will be seen that the debt of the company is $1, 052,070 47, showing a reduction of the debt since your last meeting of $ 104,19t 65. To meet this debt, the Company has Stock of the Wil mington and Manchester It. R. Co $ 100,000 00 Stock of this Company 1,171,050 00 Washington and New Orleans Telegraph Co. Stock 3,150 00 $1,274,200 00 Estimating these Stocks at par. they amount to $222,130 more than the debt of the company ; but to issue the Stock remaining of this company, would be bad policy, so long as we pay but an average of 6 per cent, interest on our debt, while on the Stock already issued, we are enabled to divide 7 per cent., which would obviously be reduced if the number of shares were increased. By prudent management, there is no reasonable doubt but that we can continue to pay from 6 to 7 per cent, dividends, and gradually sink the debt be fore it all becomes due. The business prospects of the Road are improving. The North Carolina Road will soon be completed to Hillsbovo', when we may reasonably expect a large addition to our freighting business, from a region of country from which we have heretofore received nothing, and we can see no possible reason tor a diminution of our business, but on the contrary flattering prospects of a large increase. Your road is now in good condition, and it is well stocked with motive power and cars. There are eight first class passenger engines and seven first class freight engines, be sides a number of second class machines, most of them, but of little value to us now, since a better class of machines have been introduced upon the Road. We, therefore, can not see any just reason for a necessity for any great outlay in this department for the coming year. The whole Austrian war footing, and on the has orders to be ready hours' notice. Russia in the meantime menaces Austria, and the Czar has gone to Warsaw. Large Russian forces are concentrating on the Austrian frontiers, and there is but little doubt en tertained at Vienna that ere lone there will be ac tual hostilities between the two powers. Austria. Austria has concluded an immense fi nancial operation, by which she has transfered to a company of capitalists all the railroads constructed and worked by the government in Hungary and Bo hemia. The company pays 200,000,000 francs and the government guarantees 5 per cent. Prussia. Austria returned answer to the last des patch of the Prussian government, repeating that Aus tria will adhere inflexible to the policy expressed in the note of the 30th of September. The action of Prussia in regard to this answer is looked for with much anxiety. England. The British fleet will leave the Baltic about the end of November, returning in squadrons to Portsmouth, Sheerness, Plymouth and Cork. five floating twenty-gun boat?, drawing four feet of water, are building in England, for spring opera tions. Another Polar expedition will be sent in the spring to bring home the remains of Sir John Franklin's party. Dr. Rae will be given tbe command. A galvanic aparatus is being constructed at New Castle, on the I yne, to blow up the ships sunk off Sebastopol. tm r , i ... niAKUE. ine emperor iapoieon nas written a letter of condolence to Madame St. Arnaud, and be stows a pension of 20,000 francs as a national re compense.

Mr. Soule's return to Madrid caused quite an excitement, and a clamor was made to induce the opanish Government to solicit his recall. Queen Isabella has abandoned the idea of abdi eating. WORK DONE DURING THE YEAH. During the last fiscal year, it was found necessary to pro tect the piers under the bridge across the North East River, by depositing 1400 Perch of stone around the pens on which the piers which sustain the bridge are built. The southe.n pier crackodso badly in June last, that it became absolutely necessary to have it taken down, the foundation carefully packed with broken stone, well rammed and a new pier built with the best materials at our command. At Smith's Creek two abutments and a pier of 6tone have beer, constructed, preparatory to putting up a Bridge to re place the trestle work, which would have to be replaced du ring the coming year, to insure safety. It was deemed most advisable- to build a bridge, as the piling under the trestle work begins to show decay. A large and commodious shed has been erected at Weldon at the joint expense of this company, the Petersburg and Roanoke and the Seaboard and Roanoke Rail Road Compa nies. A Warehouse has also been built at Weldon by this Com pany and tbe Petersburg and Roanoke Rail Road Companj-, on land belonging to this Company, with the understanding that, should this Company at any time determine to discon tinue the joint occupancy of the Warehouse, that they shall refund to the Petersburg and Roanoke Company their por tion of the cost of constructing said Warehouse. A stone wall has been constructed at the Wilmington sta tion to protect the yard and track on the upper and inclined plane at the terminus of the road. Foundations have been prepared, and contracts made for timber to construct a large and commodious shed near the company's wharf in Wilmington- A Carpentershop !G6x31 feet, with Engine House andplan ing and tenanting machine, and fixtures for sawing with an engine to drive the machinery, has also been constructed at Wilmington during the year. These necessary works, added to the purchase of three first class Locomotives and a number ot burden cars and two coaches, have involved the expenditure of a large sum not properly occurring in the gen eral annual expenses of the road. COST OF MAINTENANCE OF ROAD WAY AND TRANSPORTATION. The expenses of these departments have been greatly in creased, owing to the rise in the price of labor, and conse quently of materials for road repairs ; the additional cost has been from 25 to 50 per cent over the cost of like mater ials the last year. By a reference to our list of Negroes em ployed on road repairs, transportation, &c, this year, it will be seen by a comparison witn. tne number mred last year, that we have 10 less in number, while the cost is over $6000 more than last year. In all the departments, th9 cost has been increased, una voidably, in consequence of the great rise in the price of la bor and Provisions of every kind throughout the country. RAIL ROAD CONNECTIONS. With the companies eomoosine the ereat Atlantic inland route from New York to fchis place, pur connection is as good ag could be wished, both as to time and rates of fare. The passengers fare between New York and this place is regula ted by the companies composing the line upon the per mile rate, the proceeds of the through ticket being devided in pro portion to distance. 1 he arrangement tor tnrougn tickets embraces this place. Washington City, baltimore, Phila delphia and New York. I An effort was made, during the last year, to make a simi lar arrangement with companies south of this, and although it is manifestly the duty of the companies, participating in the general business of this great line, to harmonize together for the promotion and increase of the business of the wholo line, and, as a matter of course, of the individuals companies com- f osing the line, yet it was found to be impossible to enter in o such arrangements. We regret to say, that the Charleston and Hamburg Com pany, taking advantage of their position, as we think, have refused to come into any arrangement for the mutal benefit of the line. Whatever may be the motive inducing this company to refuse to run in connection with the companies composing tho general line, we do not pretend to say, but whether that motive be hostility to the Wilmington and Manchester Rail Road , cr paramount inconvenience to them selves, the effect on us and the other companies, is the same. By this course they not only iDjure the business of the Wil mington and Manchester Co., but that of all the compan ies composing the great inland route, their own included. Now while this company is governed by this most singular policy, we know of no remedy, but to unite upon and con atruot a road from the Wateree River, the Western terminus of the Wilmiagton and Manchester Road, to Augusta in Georgia, for whieh a charter has been granted by the Legis- they have made a thorough examination of the Books and lature of South Carolina. We truly regret to say that the Stock accounts, and compared all the entries with their prop experieuce ol the last year compels us to this conclusion, and ; er vouchers, and, with the exception of a few trifling errors it is. therefore, useless for us to shut our eyes to the positive j which have been rectified, take pleasure in reporting them necessity for active co-operation, in removing this barrier to correct. J '- - ,v .u fr nd fair business, and we must once more put forth! We submit the following statements, showing the result our eneririe and remove this obstacle, by making the con- i of the Company a business for the past year r neetion complete witn Augusta, Georgia. c wii wmu say that there was a hope of evading this conclusion, but so long as the Charleston Company adheres to its present views, we cannot see how it is to be avoided. Rival lines, for the accommodation ot the through travel, are in progress of con struction, and it is indispensably nessary, if the present At lantic line wishes to retain even a fair share of this travel, that every facility should be offered by which a speedy tran sit and an unbroken connection shall be secured to the pas senger. RATES OF TRANSPORTATION. As some dissatisfaction has been expressed at an increase of freight, charged on Naval Stores delivered at the North ern terminus of our Road, it is deemed proper to explain the reasons which induced the Boaf d to make the discrimination. While our through freight trains met the requirements of thnsB who shinned to Norfolk, the expense was not taken in to the account ; but when the Company were compelled to take the way trains from their regular business on the South ern end of the Road, to meet the occasional requirements at the Northern end, the expense became a serious object. To do this business an empty train had to be sent all tbe way from Wilmington to Battle's station, for instance, 132 miles, to transport, probably, two loads, and frequently but one, I 30 miles to Weldon ; to perform this service the trains run 162 miles and only received pay for JO It will be readily seen that this would be a ruinous business forthe Company without an extra charge. It may be objected to this, that the Company ought to keep extra trains at the Northern terminus ot tne noaa to meet mis uemauu. mio would involve the necessity of keeping up a shop for repairs at Weldon, and an outlay of 30 to 40,000 for the extra trains, while the business for them to do would not give employment to two trains, in addition to our through trains, more than one month in the year It would be better for the Company to farm out tbe Naval Store business on the Northern end of the Road, than to incur such heavy additional expenses, were it not for the objection to permitting the trains of other Companies to run on the Road ; this would involve an insu perable difficulty in consequence of the want of responsibili ty. The only course, therefore, left for the Board, was to add 10 cents per barrel to the cost of transportation, and this small addition does not pay. The Board, in the ad' linistration of their duties, as guard ians of the company's interest, acknowledge no local influ ence ; their business is to protect that interest, and if the shops fer repairs and home of the trains were at AVreldon, the same reasons would compel them, in consulting that interest, to make a like discrimination against the Southern end of the road. But when it is considered that the citizens of Wilmington advanced a very large proportion towards the construction, and that Wilmington is the principal point of trade on the road, we deem it would be asking too much to transfer our shops, offices and management, to any other point ; for, where the shops are located, the true interest of the Company re quires the presence of those who superintend ; to remove all tnose necessary fixtures would therefore be unjust to the citi zens of Wilminton, besides, in so doing we should thus aid in divirting produce from this market. KILLING CATTLE, &C While the company carry the great United States, Mail, and are required to run to schedule time, it is impossible to avoid killing cattle on the road, (unless the owners would bestow sufficient care upon their stock to keep them off the road) for the reason that a train, running at 25 to 30 miles per hour, cannot be stopped under 1,500 to 1,800 feet on our level road, and it frequently happens that cattle and hogs get on the track within one to two hundred feet of the train, when it is impossible to stop in time to avoid the killing, and sometimes having the train thrown off the track, at the emi nent risk of human life, and when running at night cattle laying on the road cannot possibly be seen until the engine is within 50 feet of them. Notwithstanding that the construction of Rail Roads great ly enhance the value of the lands along their line, the road- ! side proprietors, tho persons thus enriched by the road, are its worst enemies, by permitting their cattle to go at large and on the road ; they not only go on the road, but they themselves stand by and see them on the road, knowing the danger of hav ing tham killed by the trains. This is true without doubt, as the owners of cattle have frequently testified that they saw the train run over and kill their cows or hogs. For this evil aud negligence there ought to be a remedy pro vided ; it would be greatly to the interest of the owners of cat tle if they were required to keep them enclosed, instead of be ing permitted to stroll about the woods to starve and become i nuisances to the travelling public, by obstructing Rail Roads. If paying a reasonable price tor stock killed, were tne only evil and inconvenience to which rail road companies were subjected, it would be but of minor importance, but this is not all, human life is constantly put in jeopardy by running over stock ; the risk of running a train off the track ; destroying engines and cars, and mutilating or killing passengers and the eqiployecs of the company, is the great evil to be apprehended, and so long as railroad companies continue to pay for stock killed, this evil will be aggravated, as it has become fashionable to claim and obtain summary damages in all cases where railroad companies happen to be a party ; they are expected to pay heavily for trivial accidents. To illustrate the -avidity with which men, otherwise honest and correct citizens, grasp at every chance of fleecing railroads, we will instance a case : A man who was in our cars when they run over a cow, and had the truck of one of them thrown off the track, brought in a bill against the company for $500 for the fright which he received When asked if he had received any bodily injury, he confessed that he had not, but had been badly scared. The disposition to mulct rail road companies in heavy damages is a growing evil, which, if not checked, will destroy the value of this kind of property. Another evil is, that under the present existing laws, par ties have a right to bring suit in each and every county on the line of the road, and to serve notice of suit in such cases on any Stockholder, and forthwith a Magistrate will give a judgment for summary damages, without notice to the offi cers ot the company, who are the only persons conversant with the case and enabled to offer a defence ; and it is, there fore, essential to the ends of Justice that some rule or Law should be adopted to correct these evils. As such suits or claims are now managed, the company has no chance to set up a defence, and they ought at least to be heard before judgment is entered against them. Hail Road Companies, although they are corporations, ought to have a semblance of justice meeted out to them. All will admit that they are of great public benefit, and while such a summary mode of punishing them is practiced, there is but little inducement held out to individuals to invest their surplus capital in such property. While public opinion is in favour of rapid speed on Kail Hoads, it is next to an impossibility for companies, not to minister to this feeling or appetite, and as a matter of course, the liability to accident is increased, and in all such cases, companies are made to pay the most exorbitant damr ages. It would not do to say, that if companies would put on slow trains, running from 12 to 15 miles per hour, that the prudent would take the slow trains in preference ; experi ence has proved that not one passenger in ene thousand would take a slow train, while they could go in a fast one. If accidents occur from fast ruuning, is it fair, is it just, that Kail Road companies should be so severely delt with '! The Rail Road Companies of the country owe it to them selves to endeavor to give a proper direction to public opin ion on this subject. REPORTS. Herewith you have the report of the examining committee; a general table ot receipts and expenditures ; the report of the transportation department; a comparative table for the past year, and the Treasurer's returns. We cannot close this report, without calling your attention to the regular increase, which our local business presents. Although there is apparent diminution in our way travel, it is accouuted for from the fact that since the discontinuance of the Steam Boat line, through tickets have been sold in this place so that the travel from Wilmington, to the North, appears under the head of through travel ; whereas, heretofore it was classed under the head of way travel. We have an unsettled claim upon the Post Office Depart ment, which probably may require the intervention of Con gress before it can be definitely adjusted. All of which is respectfully submitted on behalf of the Board. ALEX. Mc RAE. President. that love him.

The following, from the Paris correspondence of the London Times, will be read with interest : "The idea that we are destined to have a cam paign this winter on the Rhine that is. against Prussia is becoming more general and more accredi ted every day in some of the highest political circles. It is considered impossible that the tergiversations of that power 'an much longer be tolerated, and the object for the establishment of the camp of the north, as indicated when tt was first formed, appears to be th real one after all. What effect the fall of Se bastopo! before the winter season sets in would pro duce on the policy of that dishonest government, it is difficult to say. It would, perhaps, force it to de clare itseif frankly oi the ide of the Allie?; bat it is better to be prepared for all emergencies. The notes that have recently passed between France and Prus sia are, it appears, very strong and very decided. They are, indeed, of that hind which precede, at no great interval, a suspension of all friendly relations whatever, if not a declaration of hostilities. 1 he probability, too, of an alliance, defensive and offen sive, between England, France and Austria, with a view to such an eventuality as a war with Russia, is spoken of, and the bases of such a treaty are said to have been already discussed and agreed upon. Nev ertheless, it is believed by some that the policy of Prussia would be considerably modified in ihe event of another serious check to Russia? In the mean time reinforcements continue to be sent to the Crimpa from various places, and the camp of the south will alone furnish over 10,000 men." The Presidency of the Senate. It is under stood thp.t the Hon. Senator Atchison, of Missouri, will not be in Washington during the coming session of Congress. His term empires on the 4th of March next, and, we take it for granted, that his determina tion to remain in Missouri during the winter, is the better to enable him to attend to his share of his contest wiih Colonel Benton, the end of which may not come off for some months to come. His absence from the Senate Chamber will make the election of another pro tern. President of the Senate necessary. From all we learn, there can be little doubt that hon or will fall upon Senator Rusk, of Texas At least that is the opinion of all here who are credited with being men of shrewdness in looking upon things po litical.

Circumstances over which I have no central, render it neces sary that I should dee'ine a re-tleetion Jo the office of Presi dent of your Company. Permit me to tender to you my sin cere acknowledeuients for the long continued confidence which you have reposed in me. It is now nearly nineteen years since I entered the service of this Company, during which time I have, without solicitation on my part, been called upon to fill vari ous offices of trust in your service. The dvit .issigned to me, I have eudeavered to discharge faithfully to ihe best of my ability; but, that I have not erred in their performance, I have not the vanity to believe. This much, however, I am conscious of. I have ever wished to do right, and if I tailed, it was owing to an error of judgment and not of intention. With sincere wishes for yur prosperity, I remain respectfully, your obedient servant, ALEX. McRAE. We give the following experiments made in En gland, in corroboration of the statement above, as to the distance re quired to stop a train : Experiments in Stopping Rapid Trains. It has been long a curious problem to determine the period of time in which a heavy train of carriages, in rapid motion on a Rail road, may be brought to a stop, by the application of the usual methods of retardation under tho control of the driver of the train and to apportion those periods in any degree to the rapidity of the motion to be suspended. In consequence of the raising of the question lately in Eng land, arising from a fatal collision on the Croydon Railway, whether all practicable efforts were made in that case by the driver of a passenger train, moving at a speed of from 50 to 60 miles an hour, to bring it to a stand, from the moment of receiving notica of n obstruction on the track, a Beries of experiments were made under the direction of Captain Ty ler, of the Board of Trade, in concert with the officers of the Southeastern and Brighton Railway Companies, with a view of throwing light on the subject. The results of these experiments are deserving of notice, as they appear to have been made with care, and are satisfactorily authenticated. The object aimed at, was to ascertain within how short a time, ana now small a distance a train, running at the speed above described, could be stopped. For this purpose, two ex perimental trains were made up, one by each of the above named companies, laden respectively with 32 tons of iron, prop erly distributed among the carnages that being computed to be about the weight of 450 passengers, who were in the excur sion train to which the accident occurred. That the trial might compare as nearly as possible to an ordinary case of run ning at that rate of speed, the men in charge were not previ ously informed at what moment they should pull up, but were to await a signal abitrarily given by Captain Tyler, at a mo ment when they might not be expecting it. Four experiments were made two by simply shutting off steam and apply ing the breaks and the other two by the application of these means, and, in addition, reversing the engines, with the further addition in the last, of scattering sand on the track. The re sults were, that the trains were stopped, in tho first instance, in space of a little more than a mile and a fifthin the socond, in a mile and one sixteenth the 3d, a little over a mile and the 4th, in a little over three quarters of a mile. Report of tbe Auditing Committee. To the Stockholders of the Wilmington $ Raleigh R. R. Co. Gentlemen : The undersigned Committee, appointed for the purpose of auditing the accounts of your Company for the year, ending Sept. 30th, 1854, beg leaye to report that At Monterey, Texas, on the 1st day of August last, CAL VIN COOR. formerly of Goldsboro', and for several years Sheriff of Wayno county. November 2d, in the b3d year of his age, at the house of Col. John C. McLaurin, Richmond County, on his way home, from the late Synod of N. C, Rev. ARCHIBALD SMITH. While in Concord, he was a little indisposed, but he started for his residence in Robeson on Monday, apparently in his usual health, and on Wednesday, 1st Nov. 3 o'clock, P. M., near Mr. McLaurin's, he was seized with a chill, which, though skilful medical aid was immediately procured, and the attention of kind friends was unwcariedlv given, proved to bo the chill of death ; tor he peacefull fell asleep in Jesus, the subsequent morning at 4 o'clock. Thus died at his post in the discharge of duty, this good, laborious, and faithful servant of the Lord -Fay Obs. At the residence of his son, A. B. MARSH, Mt. Vernon Springs, Chatham county, on the 2d inst., WILLIAM MARSH, aged 103 years, 10 months. He was horn in Vir ginia, in January, 1751, and removed when a young man to Chatham county, N. C. Ho early attached himself to tho cause of Independence, and was an active Whig in the parti zan warfare carried on in tho State. The service in which he was mostly employed was one requiring the exercise of great vigilance and courage, that of carrying despatches, and keeping up a communication and correspondence be tween the Whig parties and forces in difierent' and distant parts of the State. Throughout his long life he has been distinguished for his kindness, hospitality and honesty. He raised a family of fifteen children, ten of whom survive him, and the number of his lineal descendants is supposed to be about three hundred. He wa3 indeed the Patriarch of a largo family, and while he lived a life " without reproach," he could feel the proud gratification arising from seeing his nu merous family occupying highly respectable positions in so ciety and distinguished like himself for those qualities which make men useful and life pleasant. Long will his memory be cherished by those who knew him well as a kind and hu mane master, an obliging neighbor, a loyal citizen, a stead fast friend, an affectionate husband and father. Obs. OBITUARY NOTICE. Our much loved brother, NATHANIEL POTTER, aged sixty eight years, who during a period of forty years, lived a pious and consistent life in the Methodist Episcopal Church, was taken from the Church militant, on the 3d inst., to join, as we Bincerely be lieve, the Church triumphant in Heaven. For many years he was the subject of pressing and severe afflictions, all of which he bore with uncommon fortitude and resignation. During that protracted period of hi3 life which was given to God and his service, he always avowed and maintained a position which was decidedly in opposition to vice and im morality of every description. All the noble, generous and praiseworthy features of the soul, so distinguished to the child of God, were very eminently manifested in him. The Church of Ged he loved, and labored therein in various offi ces to do good as long as he had strength or means, and when he was, in a great measure, deprived of these, he would still show that his heart, and his heart's best affections, were with God and his people. He loved to talk about Mr. Wes ley and the Ministers of an earlier day in the Chureb, not that he did not love and highly regard many eminently pious brethren of the present day j but he thought, no doubt, that the Ministers of that early period in the Church were more favored of God, being more eminently pious, devoted and self-sacrificing. The writer of this memoir has often con versed with him, and the uniform impression made upon his mind, from these interviews, has been to confirm more fully of8(KdTlOU3 0pinion of his thorougk attachment to the canse He would frequently speak of his sufferings of body, and of his destitution of temporal means, hat it . would all be so spoken of as to show a submission and resignation that no thing can inspire but a trust and confidence in the opera tions of His hands who worketh all tilings for good to them 3,000 ACRES OP LAND FOR SALE. virtue and in pursuance of a decree of the Court f Equity, Fall Term. 1854. for Columbus County, tbe un dersigned will, on Thursday, the 23d day of November next, offer for sale, all and singular the tracts or parcels of land in Columbus County, belonging to the estate of A.
