II-j closed his remarks by suggesting, that an Agricu tural Mass Meeting of the farmers and citizens generally of the county be held at some early-date, at which time the necessary prepar ation for the holding of a county Fair could be made. This suggestion was agreed to readily by the Society, and it was lieso'.ced. That there be held on the 9th of December next, an Agricultural Mass Meeting, in tbe Farmers' and Mechanics' Hall, on the Sr-to Fnir Grounds, when there would be a discussion of such subjects as would have a tendency to advance the agricultural interest of tiie county, and trie cit-zens oi ine cuuuiv were respectfully invited to attend, and the la dies especially. Lr.

Win. 11. Pool, Esq. stated, that he had a lot of cotton seed, which be wished to present to the Society, for distribution ainongthe members. He stated, that thev were sent to him by his Commission Merchant in Petersburg, who sta ted, that a friend in the North had sent him a Int. of eotton to have cinned. and that he was struck with the fine staple of the cotton, and he prestrved the seed. Mr. Pool said, that this cotton had never been grown on this continent, and that from which the seed were taken grew on an Island off the Mosquit., Coast, and is said r, i have "rown on a iree, wiiuuul uuioiauuu. He hoped that the farmers would give it a trial and report their experiments, at some future time, t the Society. The motion was then moved to atljourn the Society to meet in the Farmers' and Mechanics' Hall, on Friday, the 9th of December, at 11 o' clock,, A. M., at which time members were re quested to attend. FOR THE REGISTIK. Mr. G.U.KS In tho Register of the 28th Sep tember, 1353, your correspondent, in relation to the Deep River Improvement, the Coal Fields and Dr. Mitchell, used the following language, to wit: " I know but little about the Deep Liver im provement, or the Coal Fields ; I listened to the views of Dr. Johnson and others, and, suppos ing these gentlemen to know something about their business, I confided in them, ana, at uie urgent request of many friends, I incurred a rery heavy responsibility. Dr. Mitchell read Dr. Johnson's report, was a listener to and snpe.it.nr of all that was bcine said and done about tb improvement and the coal ; the edi- TO THE PUBLIC. It is with great reluctance that we have been induced to appeal to the Public Press, in expo sition and defence of our past and present rela tions and proceedings as Stockholders in "The Western Rail Road Company," towards the officers whom we -elected upon its organization, to direct and manage the affairs of that Corpora tion. The obtrusion upon the public ear, of private grievances or individual misunderstandings, if it bo not always ill-advised and ill-judged, is at least, a matter of very questionable taste ; and most persons would prefer to have-their judg ment or discretion doubted, than their sense of propriety called In question. Our reluctance has been overcome by the earnest solicitation of our friends ; and we have been led by them to believe- that the! circum stapces of our case may make it an exception to the ordinary rule which disallows public ap peals upon matters of mere personal and indi vidual controversy. In the first place the subject of this unfor tunate difference is one of no inconsiderable pub lic importance. The construction of a Rail Road designed to explore and develope a part of the resources of a State, is indeed a matter, which, to some extent, affects the interests of all its citizens. A dispute, therefore, between those who have pledged their capital for the construc tion of such n road, and those whom they have chosen as their agents in the management of the affairs of the company, however private and personal in its nature, is yet a controversy in which the public may take a legitimate inter est. And, In the second place we have been assailed repeatedly through the Public Press. One of the Directors of this Company, chosen by us, is the Lditor ot a newspaper, and he has Seen nt, j at various times, in that capacity, to attack us in bis print, in language too personal to be borne in silence, without injustice to ourselves. ; These newspaper assaults, as we are mtormea, have been copied into other papers in North Carolina, whether at the instance of the parties origina ting them, and with the design of creating a pre judice against us in other quarters, or merely as specimens worth preserving of elegant English composition, we are not apprized but they have been freely circulated, and under them, false issues have been made, and, thus, false impres sions w ry be, if they have not already been, created. The harsh expressions and abusive language in which such accusations are conveyed., ever shuull be, but not always are, the antidotes to heal and cure the wound they are intended to intiict. "The Western Rail Road" is but one enter prize of many iu which we have eiubxrked, hav ing for their purposgi'the development of the mineral riches of North Carolina. To the ac complishment of this end, iu various undertak ings of great magnitude, our means have been ex"u.ively devoted, and our influence unspar- ingly exerted, and we have, in the progress of our labors, formed connections both of a busi ness and social character with many of the most valuable and worthy citizens of that State, which we cherish with a j ust appreciation. Tiie exposition which we now propose to make. may not be altogether uncalled for, as an act of self justification, in view of the position whiclr v h-.'.ve taken and the value.' connectir'is whicli i i - i , .1 I" -V" . I - we have established in me otate oi ortn Caro lina. We cannot allow this position to become in the smallest degree impaired, nor the link m the chain of these connections to be broken by silence on our part. About eight months ago. we were induced by the advice and solicitation of one of our most valued friends in the State of North Carolina, (and who is, at ths same time, one of the noblest and best of the citizens of that State, and most jealously and earnestly de voted to her interests and prosperity,) to enlist in the undertaking of the construction of "The Western Rail Road" a road designed to con nect the town of Favetteville on Cape Fear River, with the Coal regions lying in the Counties of Moore and Chatham. An Act of Incorporation of a Company, for this purpose, with a capital of JoOO.UOO, had then been recently granted by the Legislature of North Carolina. The Com missioners appointed by the Act to procure sub scriptions to the Capital Stock of this Company, had succeeded in obtaining subscriptions only to the amount of $'J3,G00, and this entirely from citizens of Fayetteville or iu immediate vicinage. Rut little interest seemed to be uianilsted in the enterprize beyond the precincts of Fayette ville. and the $93,000 of Stock subscribed for was divided among some 120 or 130 of its citi-! zen8 actuated doubtless by a very laudable de sire of securing an enhanced importance and prosperity and value to their town and its pro perty, such as the construction of the road would be certain to bring to it. It was in this state of affairs that we became subscribers for the re mainder of the Capital Stock of the Company namely, $40C,400. The motives of interest which actuated us in making so large a pledge of our property and means for the completion of ihis work were abundantly obvious at the tipie; they were in no wise concealed or disguis ecl by us, and were freely spoken of and can vftstied bv all. We had become, as wo have ever 6ince been, fully persuaded of the great ion t&at other than the like good faith could ex ist oil the part of the minority, we selected from amonjg the Stockholders, a President, Treasurer and Secretary, and seven out of the nine Direc tors required by the eharfer a citizens of Fayetteville. Had we been instigated by any sinister designs, or had we for a moment sus pected the possibility of the future existence of any desire to thwart and ..defeat our motives in embarking upon this enterprise, we might, with the utjmost facility, have transferred a few of the sharef of our stock to personal friends else where than in Fayetteville," and by electing them into the Directory of the Compnny, have secured the attainment of our just and then con ceded' rights.. But the organization of the Com pany was thus accomplished in the most entire good faith, and not only with no shadow of sus picionon oat part, 'but with, confidence of being justly "dealt with. At tfie time of the organization, an instalment of one per cent, 'was made Hfn the Stock thus raising JoWJO (more vha 5HKAi rhicf called at Fayetteville, on the 20th of October last. We did suppose that the Stockholders of he Company, in general meeting, might exer cise some supervisory control over their tempo rary agents, whom they had chosen to represent their interests in the management of its affairs, and as the Charter had very expressly given to the Stockholders, (and it would be very strange if it had not,) the right to designate the term of service-" exceeding one year" of the per sons whom they should elect as President, Trea surer, Secretary and Directors ; and as the Stockholders had net designated that term of service, we did not suppose that by such desig nation at sch general meeting we should be deprived of a remedy for the gross wrong and injustice about to be inflicted upon us, A meeting was called in compliance with our written application. We were unable to attend in person, but our stock was fully represented by our dulv recognized proxy. Less than 400 ! shares werei present and represented, in opposi J tion to oof ore thiui 40QO- .

No report of survey, to our knowledge, ! prejudice against us, as to blind the eyes and has yet been made ; of course, no location has j minds of the persons present, to the folly, injus tice and utter absurdity of the application of a ! parliamentary rule, adopted for the convenient i government of legislative assemblies, to a meet 1 tug of the Stockiiolders in a Railroad Company J We learned, soon after, to our great astonish ment, that the meeting was adjourned without : any action, by reason of a motion made by 4064 shares of the stock represented, not being our control ot the location of t'.ie road. Ry what seconded by anyone ot the holders ot the re been determined upon. We have neither of us been iij Fayetteville or its vicinity, until very recently, since our departure thence, after tho organisation of tho Company. Shortly after our departure at what precise time we are unable to say the persons whom wo had elected to the offices and direction in the Company, began to entertain views hostile to motives they were actuated in these views, we leave the public to determino. It might be that they began to perceive a point here, and a point here, upon some ideal route, where they might make a profitable investment, and that, too, with ' very little pecuniary outlay, could they bu.tcon-: rol ihe route. I'erhaps they began to place an over estimate upon the sagacity of the .New lork subscribers to the Stock, and lamented their supposed loss of large imaginary profits, which they might have made ; ad-here, too, with lit tle pecuniary outlay, by iEestments at a wes tern terminus, could they but control that ter minus. Be this as it may, thev soon began to maining 930 shares ! and our rights and inter ests were thuis left in the same perilous position in which they were before the meeting was called. Nothing secured now left to us to save our selves from the ruinous consequences which might ensue upon the forfeiture and sale of our stock, advertised for the 5th instant, but an ap peal to the leal tribunals for protection. Some few days, hanrever, yet remained, and we de termined to make another written application to the President for another general meeting of the stockholders, to be held at Fayetteville on the 2d inst. We did so, cherishing the belief holders meeting, the doctrine warnumeraniur non ptnderantur. We venture to say that in no other Stockholder's meeting than that of th 'Wes tern Rail Road of North Carolina' ever called since the first existence of joint stock corporations have the minority in interest, of less than 'oile fifth, held at b&jderidd laughed ot-nulted kitted and voted down, the propositions of the majority of more than four fifths ! or ever before has any vote affecting the interests of the Company been taken ether than by shares. The vote per capita at a meeting of Stockholders la a'jVriat stock corporation is a ridiculous farce and mockeryy , We have thus concluded a plain statement of the unfortunate difficulties existing between ourselves f and those in whom, eight months sinee, we re posed so much confidence as to elect, them to-the direction of an Institution, for the .euccesa , of which we have pledged more than $400,000-of our money. - .'

But meanwhile, 'and that we may do this it is incumbent upon us; to protect our interests and rights from the assaults -which' have been made upon them and preserve our-: selves from the injustice and rnin which are threatened us. Above all, it was incumbent upon us, to preserve that position and good name in North Carolina, as men of honor and integrity, which we are gratified to beliove we have well es tablished, by such an exposition as we have here made, of the causes and motives which have in duced and urged the malignant slanders which have been so freely uttered and circulated against SMITH & COLBY.

Stockholders holding more than four hitns ot the siocs, possessed the independent and absolute control of the location of the route and western termination of the road. But to accomplish their purpise something more was requisite than mere assertion, and they shokly proceeded to action. row,,any action on their part, taKen witn a view ot neicatinj; tne wen Known ana legitimate purpose for which we were induced to hazard so large a sum upon the success of this enterprize, would be a breach ot taitn too manuest ana ruin ous to be tolerated, unless they could success fully shield their action behind accusations levelled against us, importing hostility on our r.art to the interests of the road.
