The proceedings of this body Incras in in terest aa the session advances. On Tuesday, the bill to incorporate the Atlantic and North Car olina RailRoad Company, after being amended to s to fix its eastern .terminus at or near Beau fort Harbor, passed its second reading by the eMting vote of the Speaker. In this, the Wes tarn members acted with great liberality. The tote, it will be seen, by reference to the proceed ings of that day, stood 55 to 55 ; and when the Bpsater, with that promptness and decision, characteristic of him, voted yorhe bill and an nounced its passage, a burst of applause suc ceeded from every part of the Ilall. The Spea ker's mallet, however, soon restored order. This bill makes no actual appropriation from the State Treasury ; and the work is, on all bands, regarded as one which should bo execu ted with as little delay as possible. If there is to be dolay, the fault should not be permitted to rest upon this Legislature. Let the charter be pvn ; and -with the people let the responsibili ty for this irreat work of securins, in part, the 4 commercial independence, and elevating the character of North Carolina, rest. We presume if this bill should pass, a charter, as liberal in its provisions, will be granted for an extension of the N. C. Road to the Tennessee line. It will be seen that the Free Suffrage bill also passed its third reading in the House, on Tues day, by a vote of 84 to 25 four more than the Constitutional majority. It now goes to the Senate. Gon. Saunders, on the same day, introduced t series of resolutions in relation to Nag's Head nil the distribution of jthe Public Lands, which will be found in the proper column. They fully eome up to the exigencies of the times and pro claim tlie just rights of North Carolina, and if the Democratic party would meet us halfway on this important subject, we might hope to accom plish not only the appropriation for Nag's Head, but fur a number of other as important objests, 41 well as secure a lust and eauitablo nortion of the Public Lands for ait of the oid.States. 'SSSsSSSsSf The only matter of special interest in the pro ceedings of Wednesday, was the vote for Senator. It will be seen that three trials were made with out success. 1G4 votes were cast each time, and 83 were therefore necessary to a choice. Mr. Dobbin received 74 the first vote, and 73 the two succeeding ballots. Despite the entreaties and expostulation of the "Raleigh Standard," whose imperious "SHALL" seems, in this case, to ve been but little heeded, and in the teeth of e general disfavor with which they are re. xdod by the pliable portion of the party, a uuibcr of "Democrats" still persist in the de- Jterniination not to vote for Mr. Dobbix. Mr. JSkpard's friends will hardly fail him in any leontingcncy. Gen. Sacxders says he will vote Jfur no man. who does not endorse the Resolu tions introduced by himself ; and as those Re solutions embodv. according to our way of think ing, sound Whig sentiment, and as Mr. Dobbin is known to be a great stickler to party tenets, and, moreover, had a prominent agency in the 1 preparation of the Baltimore Platform, Gen. S. will hardly vote for Mr. D., &c., &c., &c. mean ing to intimate, by this shower of el ceteras, that "there are more things," probably, involv ed in the present schism of "the "faithful," "than re dreanipt of" by the uninitiated ! Thus goes the fight. The dust of the battle obscures the relative positions of the combatants nd the precise state of the convict. It will on clear away, when the scuffling ceases. The Senate has been principally engaged,' as our Reports will fully show, since our last issue, In the consideration of Bank Bills, a number of which are likely to pass both Houses. W are pleased to see that there is a great demand for Bnking capital in the-State, as it bespeaks an nterprise on the part of the people ; but it is to be hoped that the Legislature will be duly cautious, that the system may not be carried to Excess.

The " National Intelligencer" of the 20th 1 inst., contains an able article upon tho " late A ational Election," entering into an examina tion of some of the causes which brougbt about the defeat of Gen. Scott and the Whig party, and of certain ineidents connected with that re sult. It shows, in the first place, by tho following table, that a variation of less than one vote in every hundred in the States enumerated es timating the agirrccrate number of voters at 3,500, 000 would have been sufficient to have changed the result. States. Change required. No.of Electors New York, Virginia., 13.000 0,500 4,000 2,500 1,500 . 1,500 750 750 000 350 15 35 15 7 i G 4 G 3 4 10 2 108 Maryland, Connecticut, Iowa, Louisiana, Florida, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Delaware, 34,465 Scott received the votes of four States, the ajrirrefrate Electoral vote of which numbers for-ty-two electors. By a change of the number of votes which are above estimated as forming one half of the majority in the twelve States enu merated, deducting them from the tally of Gen. Pierce and adding them to that of Gen. Scott, the Electoral votes of those States, one hundred and eight in, number, would (added to the forty-two Scott electors chosen) make the Electo ral votes for Gen. Scott one hundred and fifty ; and had the votes in thoso States been so va ried would have secured his election to the of fice of President. The influences which secured the votes of these States for Pierce are apparent to every man, who at all observed the progress of the campaign and marked its issue. Not an ism tfiat ever disgraced the country not a faction that ever raised its " Hydra head" in the land, but were united under the banner of the "Spoils" At that talismanie word, they came, from the purlieus of the city, the dens of vice, from the re cesses where intrigue and corruption were car ried on. and from the poor houses and hospitals men in high and low estate those who as pired for exalted stations and those who were content to feed upon tho offal, that others might reject. It is not only confessed, Tjut boastfully avowed, that the heavy locofoco vote in the city of New York a vote which determined that of the entire State, was altogether attributable to the accession to it of the Filibusters, the Ger man theorists, the Kossuth- lUvolufionists, and peace and public xndrals, wKich abound in the j douse population of that cammereial emporium a Speaking of the resfilt in the city, the " New York Sun," issued the day after the Election, said : j " Many things have contributed to this result innur citv.bnt perhaps none moreextensiveJithan 1 the firm and strong grounds' taken by the pre sent Adm'.mstrationigainst fepanish outrages, I meaning the indignation of the Filibusters,! British aggressions on this Continent, and oth er national questions. That ' rich Irih brogue' did its fui.i. share while tut German aceeni MADE ITSELF DISTIXCLY HEARD AT THE POLLS. And, with yet greater audacity and presump tion upon a success achieved by such influences in a day or two afterwards (on the 5th) the same jacobin journal substantially (and we have no doubt justly, as circumstances will prove,) de clared Gon. Pierce to have been chosen, instead of President of (he United Stales, Protector-General of Filibiisticrism. But let the "Sun" speak for itself: " And as regards Spain, and the atrocities, outrages, and insults heaped by her upon this country and its citizens with impunity, under the present Administration, the American people hare decided that they expect Franklin Pierce, and the statesmen ho may call to his aid, to ex act 'indemnity for the past and security for the future.' The affair of the Contoy prisoners, the illegal and barbarous treatment to whicfi they were subjected : the seizure of two unoffending American vessels in neutral waters, and their subsequent confiscation by a Spanish tribunal; the cowardly and revolting massacre of gallant Americans in one of the public squares of Ha vana ; and the recent preposterous assumptions and high-handed outrages of the Cuban author ities, arc all comprised in the grand task mark- ed oct hg the popular decree of the Presidency of New Hampshire's honored and now illustrious son The " Intelligencer" remarks that its princi pal consolation under such defeat, and in view of the expectations that arc indulged of the in coming A'lmiriisttion, is based upon the con servative principles of the Senate. Upon these, though there is a "Dcmieratic" ascendency equal to that in tho other House, it relies, for the repression of wild innovations upon the es tablished policy of this Government, and espec ially for the prevention of all rash attempts, in regard to our foreign relations, to put tho Gov ernment upen tho course of now and dangerous experiments with whih tho country has been threatened, during the late canvass, by some of tho orators of theDemocracy. We fear thatthis is but unsubstantial consolation. The poison seems to have worked its way as well into the Senate chamber, as into the feeling and actions of politicans elsewhere. The " Intelligencer" finally remarks, and we commend the spirit which breathes through what it says to the attention of every Whig, who, in a moment of despondency, may feel disposed to relax his labors or abate his inter- est in the cause, that as for the Whigs laying down their arms and abandoning it, because ot its having met with a casual check, as some have proposed, it is not for' a moment to be thought of. They have lost an election, it is true, which they ought to have gained. But they have a country left for them to serve, and to save from the evils of foreign influence, al ready employe1! in corroding the cement which holds this Government together. They still are bound by every consideration of duty to them- selves, their families, to their country, and its institutions, from which the defeat in an elec- tion cannot discharge them, to stand by their principles, betide what may. This is a moral as well as political duty, which no good citizen can cast off at pleasure, and least of all can any real Whig. THANKSGIVING DAY. Thursday last was duly observed in this City, and elsewhere throughout the State and Union, we presume, in pursuance of the Proc lamations of tho respective Governors of the States, as a day of Thanksgiving to Almightt God, for his numberless blessings and mercies There is an eminent propriety in tho institu tion of this Ceremonial occasion, which no man be he Christian or Infidel, can ail to acknowl edge ; and cf$4!i;y .aircuiMr. ,1 muiym the mostTctepraYcd condition of human nature, butVnust be impressed in some sort with the beautiful and sublime moral spectacle of a whole Nation, as if pervaded by a common feeling and actuated by a similar sense of obligation, unit ing in a general ascription of Praise to the Au thor of all Good. The occasion and season are peculiarly calcu lated to arouse the sensibility of every one whose heart is at all open to the impressions excited by the contemplation of that contrast, which the world everyday presents of want and penury on tho one hand, with plenty and aflu ence, on theother. And we take occasion, in this connection, to copy from a late number of the " National Intelligencer," the following el oquent appeal in behalf of the Poor, as. applica ble, in many particulars, to this City as to that from which it comes : WINTER IS COMING ! Over the hills, and through the valleys, and along the river's broad expanse, the wlndscome J moaning, ana snicking, and sweeping ; and our wide streets, and wider avenues, and " desira ble building lots" for houses that are as yet but " catles in the air," present but few obstacles to their rude approach, while shrunken leaves twirl high above, and sand and dust assail the vision of the uncomfortable pedestrian. Washington" is a bleak city in this chilly sea son of the year. The winds play with a relent less merriment around our homes, menacing the well defended mansions of those who live at ease, and unfeelingly invading the imperfect habita tions of the poor. We are too far north to de light in the balmy breath of Winter that the mild savannahs know, and too far south to en joy the ample preparations that are made for Winter's coming, by the thrifty people of the icy North. There is comfort, and joy, and con tentment in many a home amongst us, but there is 'also privation, and sorrow, and anguish. Want and suffering must, exist wherever im providence and crime are found, and he who has no benefactions to bestow upon the frail and erring will find but few opportunities for the indulgence of tho benevolent feeling of his na turc. -. j; . -.v . pily blessed with abundance are awaking to a consciousness of their duty toward the poor and destitute. Ever foremost in the work of mercy, Woman lias hero taken theinitiative ; and we would appeal to the sterner six, andinvoke them to both aid her in her labor ftf love, and imitate her example by entering upon more extended and efficient enterprises of their own. The field is large, but the means of supplying it arc abundant. From the homes of cnifort and luxury in this metropolis may well be spared a sufficiency of the necessaries of life to preserve from hunger and to protect from the freezing winds the help! '-s otf-spring of the improvi dent poor. 11 ,v 1 iiignant theta.sk, and how sweet tho reci.npor.e it brings ! The sentiments of pity, of charity and love, du el! i;; the breasts of thousands of our people, and often move to dt.vp commiseration and sympaihetie teard ; but we do not appeal to this sentimentality, however exquisite and however honorable to our nature. Our appeal is to the convictions, the conscience, and the active ener gies of every man and woman who would perform one of the most solemn duties imposed upon us by Him who has said, " The poor ye shall have always with you." Let us' not forget this duty, and let not each wait for his neighbor to begin a work so necessary and so imperatively en joined. Let us all act, and act in unison, and unon a system that will alike prevent impos ture and guaranty prompt and sufficient relief to all whom Providence has for wise purposes committed to our protecting care. We could submit" to our readers some plans of action, but this, will prove the least trouble some part of the duty before us. Let the will be established- If w e can but sueceed in arous ing the public attention and inducing tho re solve to act, the way will readily be opened. The Georgia Citizen thinks " that if Pre sident Pierce means to satisfy everv portion of the incongruous party that has placed hiin in power, his cabinet will be something like the following :" For Secretary of Stato, P.

Tho steamer Crescent City arrived at 4 o'clock this morning from Ha vana, which port she left on the 17th. She reached Havana on the evening of the 16th, andj after lying outside of Moro Castle during the night, she proceeded to her wharf on the morn ing of the 17th, and landed her passengers and mails. No objection was made on the part of the authorities to this procedure; but during the day an official order was sent from the Captain General to Captain Davenport, notifying him that the Crescent City would not again bo per mitted to come to her wharf, if Purser Smith was retained on board. To this Captain Da venport replied that Purser Smith would be on board the Crescent City on her next trip, and that he would land her passengers and mails, and hold the Spanish Goverment respon sible for whatever consequences might ensue. Purser Smith was not permitted to land; but the other officers of the boat, and the passengers w ho came on shore, were treated with the ut most courtesy by the Cubans. The Crescent City sailed in the evening, leav ing tho difficulty still unsettled. sSr Tho ".Carolina-Republican"(of the 19th inst., which has been handed toms y a friend, contains a very ungenerous attack upon Messrs. Caldwell and' Lander, two of the gentlemen re presenting the counties of Lincoln,)Gaston and Catawba, for their course on the bl to change the dividing line between the coutties of Lin coln and Gaston. The article (to say nothing of its execrable grammar) seemsjto have been penned with the bitterness and Malignity of a revenge, which seeks to gratify jts malice by distorting and perverting the facs in the case. Wo quote a paragraph r "James Caldwell and Wm, iLander made sorts of equivocal speeches, which would do about as well for one side ai the ftther, " damn ing the bill with faint praise,"; yet inglorious shirking the responsibilityJand refusing to meet the question in a manly minner one way or the other." . J J The facts are simply tb t Mr. Caldwell in fi5r3,e-fc18t5?al!J5i Counties iif Linen coin autfpastoH; which was af-T terwards amended; by jt4pting the substitute offered by Mr. Wheeler J When the bill was on its second reading?

The " Republican's"jloW' slang, in reference to Mr. Caldwell, will ndiiiju re that gentleman, we presume. He is faifnally attending to the interests of his constituents, aud they will know how to appreciate his scryices. ' t&rcporl says that he did not use the word " colleagues," hut the singular "colleague" that his inten tion was to refer to his " colleague" farthest from him, Mr. Caldwell, and not to Mr. Lan der. &sy Now that Gen. Pierce has been tdected President of the United States, we hope he will safely guide the ship of State for the next four years. But of this we have serious foreboding. Much depends on the Cabinet he will elioose. Of the strength of his mind, and tho energy of his will, Ave have a poor opinion. We fear he will be influenced by the men whom he will call around him. Hence, as we said above, much, in fact, all, depends on his Cabinet. If Doug lass le the Premier, nr.d such as he bo the ad viser;; of Mr. Pierce, we may look for the worst from intervention in affairs of Foreign nations and all the evils resulting from such a course. In view of these things, it is the duty of the Whig party, throughout the whole country, to array their forces for the contest, and prepare to save this country, as they have frequently done heretofore, from locofoco misrule. The Whig party, to-day, we believe, is as strong as it has ever been, and when the occasion offers, it will show to thoso who are exulting over its downfall, that it but slumbereth, to arouse it self at some future day to renewed and increas ed vitality. THE EMPIRE OF FRANCE. The steamer Hermann, from Southampton, arrived at New York on Wednesday night. Her dates from London are to the 10th instant. The principal item of news is the passage of a decree by the Senate of France for tho re-establishment of the French Empire, an event for which the readers of our paper have been fully prepared by the information laid before them, from time to time, of the indications of the times. The title bestowed on the late Prince Presi dent is that of NAPffSox III. The Empiro is to be bepeditary with him and his issue, and if he have no issue, he may adopt an heir of the Bonaparte family, none of whom are to be per mitted to marry without the consent of the Emperor. The people are to go through the ceremony of voting yea or nay upon the decree on the 21st and 22d, and the Legislative Corps is convoked for the 25th. The Constitution of 1852 is to be maintained The Liverpool cotton market was much de pressed, with a further slight decline in the price of most descriptions. Breadstuffs were active, without change in price. Correspondence of the Boston Atlas. Wadolboro, Nov. 10, 1852. A splendid three-deck ship, of about 13000 tons, owned by James Hovey, Isaac Reed, G. D. Smousc, John Sides, John H. Kennedy, George W. Robinson, her master, and Augus tus Welt, h.2r master builder, was launched in this town to-day. The ship is called Edward Stanlt, in honor of that glorious Whig of the old North State, who is well remembered by the men of the North, who feel proud that they have a ship worthy of such a man, and a name worthy of such a ship. May the ship prove as servicable and profita ble to her owners, aj he whose name she bears has to bis' country. W. S. C. RAIL ROAD SPARKS AND DAMAGED PROPERTY. Tho Editor of the "Wilmington Herald," who says as many good things as any one else with in the range of our knowledge, thus humorous ly hits off a recent scene in tho Senate, which afforded as much amusement here, as it has ev idently afforded our friend Burr : " Mr. Brogden lives in Wayne and represents that county in the Senate of North Carolina. Mr. Brogden, therefore, lives in the neighbor hood of the track of the Wilmington and Ra leigh Rail Road, which passes thro' that region of country, and is said to have enriched and ' rendered valuable certain portions thereof. Mr. j Brogden knows that sparks and locomotives go : together, and that the former sometimes set liro ' to the adjacent leaves, pino straw, fences and I houses, contrary to every perception of right, by i means wdiereof damage is incurred and needless and irremediable suflerinz is endured. Mr. j Brogden thinks, and, we agree, that for every wron ft thprp stimiM Ka a rempHr n for Acnrv disease a patent medicine warranted to cure. And be wishes to carry oufTTSTao"EnieTsot beautiful law of com pensation, which assures us that we never gain any thing without losing something, and never lose any thing without gaining something. A universal quid pro quo as it were. As thus : a young (or middlo aged) man " bucks up" to a prcty girl aud proposes matrimony, but she begs him nay, ho loses his love and time, but he finds out, very shortlv, that he has made " a lucky escape" which is j .1 . . w. 1 1 1. 11 ! ciear gain, kjt, a person who a raging toozn i lias it out, thereby losing his molar and dol lar, but gaining the liberty to masticate (such as the market affords,) on that side. These il lustrations must suffice, being as plain as tho clock face in the tower of the Episcopal Church, or, as the Editor of the Journal. To eome back. Mr. Brogden perceiving the great damage done by the careless locomotives in spreading confla gration and disaster by means of the reckless sparks which they vomit forth in their headlong career, and naturally wishing with Waldo afore said, to see the good growing out of this bad, and to secure a remedy for a wrong inflicted, introduces a bill in the Senate making Rail Road Companies liable for damages by fire from sparks from locomotives. Will it be believed, tlii s bill, instead of receiving tho unanimous con currence of that (supposed to be) enlightened j body, is actuall' treated with derision by some members, and among them, (shall we record the fact;) by our ancient schoolmate, and friend of many years, Lillington, formerly of our town, but now of Rowan and Davie, aud sometimes known as " Morsel ?" It is indeed a fact as the extract, (which our friendly feelings could not restrain us from publishing,) in another part of to day's paper, will prove. Mr. Lilling ton treated the bill with levity, endeavored to cripple it by adding an amendment, making the Rail Road Companies not only liable for losses caused by the locomotive sparks, but also for those caused by " a spark from any tar kiln, or from any neighbor's chimney or lire place, or from the torch of any coon or possum hun ter," and had the assurance to suggest the ac ceptance of his amendment by the Senator from Wayne. But Mr. Brogden answered him with dignity, thus: " lt is too important a question to my constituents to be treated w ith levity. If the Senator from Rowan chooses so to treat it ho can do so. Ho may offer as many amend ments as he pleases, but I hope they will be ,rtl4rTB,",i " M'irse!" w .Fpiritof rvopge " 1'ben I must vote against the bill." And he did vote against the bill, and, (must we record it.) uic whole ftenate, witii eiglit exceptions, voted with him. So the bill was killed, and the infernal locomotives may scatter conflagration, ruin and disaster ; i-rfay set fire to the shanties aud the turpentine boxes, along the lino of the Road, unrestrained by law, and just as often as thy choose. We ask with Mr. Brogden, is this right? To have these " devils in harness" ca vorting through our piney woods and setting them on fire and nobody responsible! Whv, it's a one sided business with these Rail Roads al together. Shortly after the Wilmington Road was in operation a " female woman" entered a complaint, in conformity with the Statute in such cases made a:id provided, Revised Statutes, chapter 00. "and when she charged the J'ail ll jad as tho perpetrator of the act, they laughed her out f the Magistrate's office. Such is law. -Such is the justice one gets from a soulless and bodiless corporation. Make 'em responsible try it again Mr. Brogden ; cither make the Companies pay for all iires along the line of their Roads, or put a muzzle on the unscrupu lous tire-eatin locomotives. Office N. C.

According to the provisions of a charter cran ted by the Legislature at the session of 1800 '51, a Company was organized, having first complied with the conditions required by Act of incorpo ration ; and, on the 1st day of October, 1851, the Road was transferred to this Company, to the great gratiSeation, no doubt, of your Board, thereby relieved from very delicate and per plexing cares and responsibilities, and assured of the safety and certain further success of a work in which the State is still largely interes ted. The statements of the Treasurer, referred to, are numbered 1, 2, 3, and show, in detail, tae receipts -and disbursements of tho road fojr Jlve last eleven months of its existence under the di rection of yodr Board, distinguishing between the various sources of income and expenditure. The general statement (No. 3,) shows that the entire receipts from freight amounted to the sum of $27,132 80 ; from passengers, $25, 545 23 ; from mail pay, $8,.jo7 62 ; from sales of old scrap iron, &c.

November 1st, 1850, amount to the sum of !?8'J,U1 05 ; that the disbursements made, including all payments for previously outstanding claims, amount to the sum of $88, 581 73. It will also appear, that there is still due from Agents of the road, balances amount ing to i?20f OS ; for which, if not settled in a few days, suit will be instituted upon the bonds of such delinquents. When in hand, this sum can be paid, under the direction of your Board, over to the Pub. Treasurer. This, apparently, not flattering exhibit of the finances, will surprise no one at all familiar with the very dilapidated condition of tho road, the inefficiency of the motive power, and the many estraordinrry difficulties-that had to be encountered from these and other causes, well known lo your Board and the public generally. Many of the sills of the road wore rotten or broken ; many places were bare, the cars hav ing to run for several feet on wood ; and where the iron remained, it was extremoly thin, bro ken into short pieces; while every turn of tho wheels of the. cars, however slow, damaged both the machinery and tho track. For a long time, it was thought by many, that every day would be the last of the old Raleigh aud Gas ton Rail-road ; and yet, with no apparent source of vitality, and all tho while seemingly in the last gasp, it continued to live and discharge its functions with tolerable punctuality, until it was renewed and regenerated under the provi sions of the charter of the 1-tst General Assem bly. No one, therefore, will be surprised at the unusually heavy expenditures under the head of Repairs of Road, and of Engines and Cars, rememberinc the extreme necessities of the case. Nor will the sum of $11,330 5l, disbur sed on account of extraordinary repairs, excite surprise. This was for repairs indispcnsablo at the time, but for permanent purposes, increa sing the value of the old road, and not properly chargenble to current expenditures. For reasons above given, the Road, with tfiqr strictestcecftio&'yathoW'f&fS exertions on the part of all concerned, has not been able to maintain itself, defraying its cur rent and necessary expenses, and reaiizo a suf ficient surplus to pay for the iron purchased in February, 1851. Indeed, it could not have been done by anything short of a miraclo. The his tory of the purchase alluded to is known to your Board. In my report of Nov. 28, 1850, and which was submitted to the Legislature then in session, the fact was stated that the Road would have to stop operations at once, unless some 2 or 3 hundred tons of light iron could be imme diately procured and laid upon the track. To prevent the alternative indicated, and, with the laudable view of keeping up tho road as long as the convenience and necessities of tho4 public seemed to demand, the Legislature, on the eve of its final adjournment, passed a Resolution authorising your Board to make the necessary purchase of iron, if it could bo made by pledg ing the proceeds of the road for the payment. Your Board authorised me to make the negoti ation ; and, with an official copy of the said res olution, I repaired to the extensive Iron estab lishment in Richmond owned by Mr. John R. Anderson. The Resolution of the Assembly, a copy of which is appended, was exhibited by me as tho only basis on which I was authorised to negotiate ; and, as our Road had been deal ing regularly, for several years past, with the house of Mr. Anderson, -justly distinguished for its high, character and enterprise, that gen tleman did not hesitate to enter into a written contract to furnish iron on the terms proposed, and at a price below that which we had paid six months previous. It has so happened, that the receipts of the road, as before indicated, have not been suffici ent to meet its current, necessary expenses, and to pay for this iron, or any portion of it ; and the whole debt, amounting, with interest, on the 1st May, 1851, to tho sum of ?12,711 75, rs still due and unprovided for. The whole of the iron purchased was laid pn the track of the road, and since tho transfer of the road to the new company, it has remained in their possession. It will not, I trust, be in appropriate in me, to express the hopo that ynr Board will lay this matter before the Legisla ture of the State, to whose special attention it is commended by its own intrinsic importance ; nor can it be out of place on this occasion, to offer my congratulations at the final triumph of the old Ralcighvand Gaston Railroad overall its difficulties, and tho confident belief, that the State will at oneei promptly adopt measures for the payment of this debt, contracted at the dar kest hour of its history, and to save its very ex istence, due by the strictest principles of justice,' and for which the State of North Carolina has received valuable consideration. I have the honor to be, with great rospect, . Your obedient servant, W. W. VASS, President, Raleigh, Nov. 1852.
