The Western North Uailrond. Carolina To the Editor of the Era: Since your article a few days since in reference to the sale of this road, I nave obtained the follow ing facts : During the administra tion of Dr. Mott as President of the road, by order of his board of Directors, after mature deliberation, the road . was mortgaged for one million four hundred thousand dol lars, and under that mortgage bonds were issued to that amount. The road being incomplete, these bonds i could not be sold. By order of the board of Directors, Dr. Mott, to complete the. road from Morganton to Old Fort, borrowed in New York about $240,000, and pledged one million and fifty-seven thou sand dollars of these bonds as col lateral security for the loan. This move may now be considered by some as ill-advised on the part of Dr. Mott and his board, yet when we consider the universal cry of "on to Asheville with the road," Dr. Mott and his board would have been universally denounced if they had failed to press on the road; and besides, at that time, the State had made liberal appropriations for the completion of the Western Division, and every one anticipated the early completion of the road. With the completion of the road there would have been no difficulty in selling the bonds and paying this debt. The credit of North Carolina hav ing been prostrated and the road not completed, Dr. Mott was unable to sell 1 is bonds. To prevent the sale of the bonds he was forced to borrow money from his friends, and use all of the scanty income of his road to pay interest on this debt in New York. By reason of this he was unable to pay his contractors at home, and they, becoming dissatis fied, re-organized the company, and Col. Tate was elected President. Col. Tate being known in New York and North Carolina as an old finan cier, it was fondly hoped that he would be enabled to extricate the road. Col. Tate was unable to do more than Dr. Mott had done, to wit : borrow money from his friends and use the scanty income of the road to pay interest on the debt in New York. -Nothing could be realized to pay contractors who had waited so patiently, many of whom were pressed by executions. Col. Tate communicated this last Winter to the Governor and the Governor sent the communication " to the Legislature. The bankers in New York in the mean time notified Tate that unless the debt was paid the bonds would be sold. This was brought to the attention of the Leg islature. A bill was introduced m the Legislature to enable the State to advance the money to pay the debt in New York and take the bonds as collateral. This would have given the State entire control of the of the matter. The Legislature after mature deliberation refused to lend the road, in which the State was largely interested, the sum of $240,000. On the same collaterals (to-wit: one million and fifty-seven thousand dollars of mortgage bonds) on which the bankers in New York had loned the road the amount. This of course alarmed the ban kers in New York and they be came more clamorous for pay. The credit of the road was so embarrass ed the interest of this debt could not be paid. The bankers getting neither interest nor principal refused to wait longer, and the bonds . were duly advertised and sold, and pur chased by Hiram Sibley of Roches ter, New York, a party in no way connected with the Security Com pany or the Pennsylvania Central. In the mean time creditors at home became clamorous for pay. Numer ous creditors had obtained judg ments and the road in all of the counties through which it passes was sold by the Sheriffs; in most of the counties two to three times. In fact from the month of October, 1S71, until January, 1872, every sale day in each county, the road was sold under as many as six or eight judgments, the road of course bringing nominal sums, as it was supposed to be covered by a large mortgage. The State and private stockholders staid by and saw all of these sales, neither the State nor private stockholders being willing even to pay a nominal sum for the road or to pay judgment creditors, and these judgments to-day remain not satisfied. From what we can learn, the Legislature was not to blame for not loaning the money, for several reasons. The first reason, and a very powerful one; the State did not have the money, and had no credit to . borrow it; in addition to this, it was known to the Legisla ture,that, in addition to this debt the road was shingled over with judg ments and suits amounting to over $500,000 in addition to debt in New York. The income of the road was not sufficient to pay the interest on the debt, much less principal, the road being liable at any day to be placed in bankruptcy. The Leg- isiauire wen Knew ine orate nau no means of completing the road if the debts could be paid. We learn that Gov. Caldwell, a.s it is his duty, will again refer the matter to the Legislature. These questions will arise for the consideration of the Legislature, first, provided the ques tion of title can be settled. After so many sales can the State raise the money to relieve the road? And a more important question ; if the road is relieved of debt, can the State build it ? It will require two millions of dollars in cash to build the road. Can the State raise this money in addition to the money necessary to relieve the road of debt? Should the State be able to relieve the road of debt, but still unable to build it, would it be good policy in the State to litigate the matter, and, during litigation, let the road go down, and thereby shut the great West out from the only hope for a road, and deprive North Carolina from being the great highway of the Southern Pacific Iload, bringing, as it will, the immense freights and trade via Memphis, Morristown, Asheville, Salisbury, Greensboro' and Raleigh. We learn that the Wilmington, Charlotte & Ruther ford Road, completed 180 miles, with a gross income of $350,000 a year, has been unable to pay her interest, and proceedings have been com menced to foreclose mortgage, and the road is now in the hands of a receiver. The State has invested seven millions in this road, and in addition is endorseron one million of the first mortgage bonds. There is no better reason for the State's help ing the Western road than this road. The State has more at stake, the individual stockholder more; the road is much longer and the in come much larger than the Western road, and it will take less tnan a million to complete it. The ques tions here present themselves can the State relieve this road? If re lieved can she build it? If the State cannot build it, should she litigate and postpone the building, and thereby, as it were, paralyse a great channel of trade and injure a large section of the State? There is one thins: in connection with this last named road the State can do, and this we have reason to believe Gov ernor Caldwell will do, and that is, that, when the bondholders take this road, the State shall be released from her endorsement on the mil lion of bonds. This we learn the bondholders are willing to do, and they should be required at once to asrree to do so before it is too late. Let the Legislature look to all of these questions, not in a party spir it, but with a view to the future interest and prospects of the State, and by its action, if the old State is too poor herself to aid her chil dren, let it not be said the great in ternal imDrovement interest of North Carolina was paralysed by a dog in the manger policy.

Believing that "peace hath her vic tories no less renowned than war," and that the conduit of the Southern people can be as illustrious in peace as tne bravery of her soldiery was noble, grand and thrice illustrious in the late war ; aud-'that in the person of Ulysses S. Grant, the soldier with whom our LEE crossed swords, we have a living and illustrious example of the renown of the soldier in war, and the victories of the civilian in peace, THE ERA, from a Southern standpoint has endeav ored to aid the " victories " of " Peace" by aiding the re-election of the great and illustrious citizen-soldiur-Presi- dent.

Whether in its diversified character of a Family, Commercial, Political or Industrial newspaper, T HE ERA will strive to cultivate and promote all the interests of its people, and in every thing, save the advocacy of its party principles, discard all political differ ences, and in the interests of Peace, Reconciliation and Reform, "clasp hands" with any and all mon laboring and studying for the good of their kind, and striving for the glory ot their countiy.
