WILMINGTON, N. C:
Satcbdat Evbntnq, March 13 1880.
EVENING EDITION.
WILHIIRGTON SI.AlfDJB&ED. .
A correspondent of the Goldsboro
Messenger, writing from Raleigh,
gives some prevailing views with re
ference to the sale of the Western N.
C. Road. He says at Greensboro there
is a division of sentiment, because
they fear that the sale "will involve
the loss of any farther appropriation
for the Cape Fear and Yadkin Val
ley, upon which they are beginning
to stake the future prospects of their
city, which for several years has
been in a state of collapse." He then
refers to the project to build a road
from Wadesboro to Salisbury, and
regards it as foolish. He gives this
remarkable reason why the connect
ing road should not be constructed:
"Bat thatseems absurd rn the Itighest
degree, wha cotton absolutely leaves -the
line of the Carolina Central in toe neighbor
hood of Cheraw to seek Charleston,' on ac
count of the iiliberslitv of that road, and
what they claim to be bad treatment in
Wilmington.
''Is it true that on account of extra
charges and bad regulation, or imperfect
gradinig.ftbat WUmingfm UtTii pooreUcofm
marJ'M in the Slate? If not, then it should
be promptly corrected, for such is the wide
spread belief. Your correspondent derives
this information from parties living in the
sections naturally belonging to the trade of
Wilmsngton, and in no "wise connected
with this market, or in the habit of visiting
it. Riivm-itJi-athe btsfifromarxUtoa
cent and a half per poinal; and if this is true,
the remedy is with the leading merchants
of the beautiful aueea of the Care Fear if
not true, her journals should show the er
ror, and satisfactorily explain before this
deep impression injures the market yet
farther."
The Stab has contradicted this
false report mora than. once. It has
mentioned that the prices of cotton in
Charleston appeared higher than
those in Wilmington, but that the
appearance war deceptive. Charles
ton grades lower than Wilmington,
and that accounts for the. seeming
higher prices. . .
The difference mentioned of from
one cent to one cent and a half in
the price of cotton between Chartes
ton and Wilmington is absudly false.
We call the attention of. the Board
of Trade to. the. attempts made so WKftliat the tworoada wllliievetaae bniH
dustriously to injure Wilmington.
.They should take prompt and decided
action to place our market in a proper
light before the people of the State.
We give elsewhere the yiews of
Mr. Caldwell on the sale of the
Western North Carolina Railrdad.

to connect at Asheville ! But IhepeHUoiant
are afraid to say sp,"
He takes a view quite, different;
from that held by Mr. Caldwell as
to the relative importance of the
Ducktown and Paint Rock routes,
He says: '
"Does any one that kaoars the route ad
vocate it as a great through fine or profitable
investment as against the route by the
French Broad, or are they after votes A
very important difference, bat not one that
will pay taxes in the State Treasury.
The Raleigh Observer now demands
$400,000 in cash to be paid by BesC
and company. The writer in the
JSfessenger demands more, and proba
bly not a cent too much. He says
f 'But, my dear sir, if you are going to sell
the road, get at least $1,000,000 first in cash
besides all the bonds now put up. If yon
do not, you will have another meet if to? bond

party as with dynamite. Homebody will

A. HOBTH CAROLINIAN'S VIEW,
jMr. D. F. Caldwell, of Greens
boro, is well informed as to the North
Carolina system of railroad. He has
been to Tennessee recently. Upon
his return' he was interviewed by the
Patriot. He thinks ' the . Dockto wn.
branch is the most important, and
tlat there is a conspiracy afoot to
0mplete the Paint Rock line and
defeat the Ducktown branch. He
?ys:
J "1st my ownmind the East Teanessea ub
Georgia Railroad own, as X have under
stood, the Morristown & Faint Rock Rail
rdad, and I feel confident that thry are in
league with certs Jn other roads to prevent
the Ducktown road from being constructed
tq Chattanooga, so as to prevent the South
ern Cincinnati Railroad, ""which haa.jast
bsen completed to that- place, from finding
jirect une ana outlet over our rosas to

rdad centering al Cbattanooea kre "sa leal-
o8 of the Soutbera Cinctaaati andanxious
toi defeat thecompletion of the Paint Rock
road, and defeat .the more direct and im
portant Ducktown branch."
He expresses himself as confident
by the State, and unless sold that it
twill stop at Asheville and finally pass
into the hands of. the East Tennessee
& Georgia RailroaoT and, the Baltt-r
more, Bo" ttimMi
hinks this would prove Very (disas-
