WESTERN TURNPIKE. We deem it important to state, for the informa tion of those who feel an interest in the success of the great Western Turnpike, from Salisbury to the Georgia line, that the Governor, after the most diligent inquiry, has not been able to obtain the services of an Engineer. The numerous Rail Roads in the country, now being constructed, seem to have monopolized that profession.
