wading the report of Coni. Wilkes, his mind his
materially changed on this subject. He believed

in the locality ol this road an inestimable source

TfiH -bstitnte of the Coniiuitee li n rend,
",Mr StH-lf raid tie tisd d-uwn op thin substitute,'
hat it propostsi n new appNiprjation, no increase
of liability, but. oimply no eit hnnge of lxnds
with the State the rine as was yesterday granted
to the Coalfields road. He e plained that a heavy
discount would be saved to the Company' by this
exchange, and read a letter from John Potts
Brown, of the firm of DeRosset & Brown, New
York, to prove that the straight bonds of the State
would command a higher price by from 25 to 30
per cent, than the bonds of the Company endorsed
by the State.- He further explained that by this
substitute the State could foreclose the twnds in
two vears it the interest was cot paid, whereas, by
the former charter she could not doso in less than
20 years. - ' t.- - . . :
. j Mr. Davidson offered an amendment concer
ning the tariff of freight on he road when; built,
which was adopted. .v- !
Mr; Edney followed in'supportof (lie substitute.
By this the proposed exchange of bonds, about 30
per cent -discount would be saved, Which would
otherwise fall on the tax payers of the State.
He was hot only for building up the cities on and
at the terminus of the Atlantic and North Caro
lina Railroad, but was for building up "Wilming
ton, and the whole State it possible. V. . .. ,
: Mr. Leach, was opposed 'to this legislftting and
unlegislating, regarding : it-as legislating . for the
benefit of Wall SU brokers and Northen Specu
lators.' -''-" " '. ; ' ... :' .,
Mr: "Walkup said Jy". this bill $40,000 will be
saved to the Company ,in every( 25 m'lesoi'the
road, which, would otherwise go to speculators, and
as all the advantage were on the side of the State
and her citizens, he could not see how any Senator
could oppose it u J . ' .; , . - - '
Mr. Miller was not a member when "the origi
nal bill proposed to be amended "was passed,, if he
had been he would have opposed it' .It was then
understood, he . thought, that tibe State would
never be called on for any of the pioney, but as he
saw it was to turn out differently,, he shou'd oj
)iose this bijl. l " ..' . .
Mr. Thomas was in favor of the bill, and ask
ed if this $40,000 was to be lost, by discount, by
the Company, would not the State lose also, being a
partner'by endorsement? . ,
In answer to questions put by Mr. Turner, Mr.
Steele explained that, no portion of the road had
been completed, but said there was a probability of
the road; being built under the present charter, as
about' two-thirds of the road from Rockingham to
Wilmington bad been graded." .
And in reply to questions by Mr. DonnelL he
stated that the Finance Committee had provided
for the payment of the interest on these bonds to
be thus sold, and he judged not exceeding 8800,000
would be called for in the first 1 2 months.
Air. uorrell, said tht according to the char
ter the State could be called on "for $300,000 as
soon as each 25 miles of the road was graded, and
wished to know it several companies could not be
en s aged on the road at one and the same time?
3Ir. Steele replied that the. directors would be
very green to have the iron , hauled from .Wil
mington along the line of the road. Thought noth
ing might be feared on this score.
An amendment by Mr. Lane, that the State
bonds should not be sold under par, was adopted.
iur. tuney otrered an amendment providing
that the State shall not be called on fr more than
$700,000 for the first two years. '
Mr. Steele suggested to Mr. E." the propriety of
amending his amendment so as to allow $400,000
to the Eastern section and $350,000 to the Western
section; in case the work be so divided. .
The suggestion was adopted, but on further re
flection the amendment was withdrawn. '
An amendment by Mr. Bledsoe, that the Pub
lic Treasurer shall not borrow money to pay the
interest on these bonds, was adopted. , -
Mr Hoivton moved to postpone the further
consideration of .this bill till Monday next. Car

bill was ordered to be printed. .

ILLE CONitJECTION.
From the N. C. Standard.
I have just seen ihe. " minority report of the
committee, on the. bill ..to incorporate the Greens
boro' and'Danvilleriiailroad Cofiipany," and as t
take it for granted, you are the .author vf the re
port, I have taken the liberty of addressing this
communication to you. " The report, as leonsider.
and as I expect to) show, does 'great injustice to
those whe, at present have the direction of the
North Carolina road, and as one of that Directory,
I do npt ieel disposed to submit, in silence, to some
of your statements Beforepointing Out the state
ments of which I complain, you will allow me! to
attend to some matters which' may not be, irrele
vant to the subject of the report You saJ; " the
bill proposes to build the toad by individual sub
scription without ' jState aid" ad you seem to
cons'.der it monstrous, that the btate should refuse
to grant this . " poor privilege," when you well
Enow neither this State or any ojher will grant
such a privilege, except m cases in which the
Legislature shall be fuJly satisnod 'it is to the in
terests of its own citizens, ajid not against its own
works of improvement A.nd that it was the. du
ty of those- who ad vocate the bill to fhow that
such would not bets effect, yet you seek to throw
the erroron those who "oppose it. I deceive mv-
self greatly, shoujdj I fail in establishing the fact
that such a result land ih'at of the. most disastrous
character, would necessarily follow. Every inde
pendent btate claims to exercise jurisdiction over
lis own son, anu io wura its own citizens, much
less .foreigners,1 to. interfere with that jurisdiction.
Such is the policy which denies to any company,
whateyer its object a railroad, mining or any
other company, the privilege of an incorporation,
without the express authority ot the legislature.
And whilst one would be induced to infer from
your report, the proposed road must be built by
our own citizens, , yet all know this connection if
ever made, will be( py the aid of those. who are fnT
tcrested in the Danville road, beyond the limits of
the State. In thej first place, rI say, the passage of
in is, pin, wouia pe in direct vioiution ot public
faith, and against those rieomises held oun to she
people of the Aast, when the charter of N drill
Carolina road wasl granted. We all know, ithe
charter for this road was introduced into the Leg
isittiure.ana passed ior the purpose ot celeatjng,
and as a substitute for thievery Dan ville scheme.
The charter of (the. North Carolina road was
granted, and most pf its stock taken, under the
agreement that itj was to be a great -State work.
intended to advafice the 'agricultural interest of
our people, and -to) foster and encourage our own
merchants, t-o we were told when the location
ofthe road was under discussion, it was important
to carry it as lar JNortn a practicaoler in order to
command 'this Dan river, trade, about which we
now bear so much. And, if I mistake: not, a
charter was granted Py the legislature for a
Plank road from Ureensborough to Dan river.
and which , was tc be built as one of the principal
feeders to tlie Nrth Carolina road.' Now, the
arguihent is, hatjthe road' must go to the pro-
auce, ana notiinetproauce pe Drougni to the road.
I will not say but for such inducements as these.
the Legislature would not have grunted the char
ter, but 1 will say, the stock wouid not have been
taken by its present subscribers, and that the
road would not have been located as it now runs,
So much for -he pat . Let me now call your at:
ten tion to the statements of which I complain.
and which, as I think, does the present Board of
lrocjors greai iijjusijue, x ou. say, as the mi
nority are informed, scarcejy a bpshel of wheat
or narrei oi nour is carriea ai ine same price trom
Charlotte eastward, that js charged from Gretjns
borough, so no Charge is made for the first 93.
miles, that' the privilege oh the last 80 miles from
Greensboro' may be exercised. Would it not be
as well, if so exercised; for tbe freight to Jeave the
road as quickly as possible, if if pays nothing
while on it? And they further endeavored to
induce the produce ; to leave the North Carolina
read, apd abandon the North Carolina ports and
markets for those of Virginia "r that when it reach
es Raleigh, it is transported over the Raleigh A
Gastonj road to Henderson or Ridgeway before-
tney pegin io cnarge it i anow, not irom whom
tbe committe got their information, nor whether
the statement be intended for reason br sarcasm ;
but whatever its purpose, or from whom derived,
it is eoually unjuBt. So, if it is intended to assert
that the . tariff ctf .freights has been formed with
he view cr Ircing the produce of the country in
to the Virginia Inarkets, the assertion is directly
in contradiction )to what is the fact the tariff u
r - ?.u - a..' i s . ... ... r ,

point, and then the same charge to the end ofthe
road, i' But yoa are mistaken in 8UDDOsinr Greens.
borough, that point. 1 have not the tariff before
roe, but accordinjg. to myrecollection, tbe "point is
Lexington. '. Yoa are correct in saviner Charlotte
is charged the name as Salisbury, and mav be lx
ington for instance, and you might have aaded
with truth, notwithatanding this, not a bushel of
wheat has ever passed from Charlotte-over the
tforth. Carolina road. In the year 1850 when Ue
Directors were forced, " in self-defence, to reduce
the carriage of a bushel, pf wheat from Salisbury
to Gold-bofo (o l4 t ents, and the -t price was the
-,nm(i fr'imn tliarllcV; yet not a busbel was sent
.'from the latter place. Sn'isbury sent some 80 or
I Oo,000 bushels to i Wilmington Charlotte not
bushel, '; Such . is ,our ; sample of your free traile
ystHia olf -railroad,! and such would be the case
with' your Danville road. . I have before me the
report of the Agent at IjCxington for 1857, Land
what. does that exhibit 54,618 bitsliels 6't Wheat,
most of which,: sas the agent, went,. Enst 1 s8
barrels of flour sauao' direction. The agent adds,
'n that, j7,l thousand bushels of wheat were sent
itoni ,Lexjrgt(ii Etifit during the past year about
Mt inocsaiKi irom High roint, and 80 thousand
from Stijiiibiiry. :I(ere w have the 'shipments
tVoiii tiiiHse iintsl of 200,up0, bushe's, and which,
.loulillfrJ in 'future wilrumtedouble. Arid 1 haz-
ird liltljt in saying the freight fiom these three
punts wjll be Worth more to the North Carolina
road, thjtib every jwwsible gain from 1 tlie Diiiivill.
connectiuiu. 'i'ho Friends oi' the N.C. road' do not
desire to force th farmers of Dan river ijb send
their produce on tl) eir toad ; but wliatthe com.
olain of i is, that this great State work sbuuld be
!roken down, Iniilt as it has ben mostly. jby the
;-tate, mi order to accommodate those Wiimcrsf in
reaching those- Virginia mark?tsc , .' .,.' -.1
. As to tjie principle between long Rnd. sh rt dis
tances of 'which ttit; minority report complains
it is a princ' pie -that is to be .found in the tariff of
every railroad su-Atr as my observation goj i ; It
is at. least a -prihtaple. of which "you ''should not
com plain! as 1 feel certain it is to be found in the1
tariff pfyour favorite Danville, .road, of! whostt
merits oii 'seem to odast With so, much triumph.
Of oho-thing'ytMi ! areVawflro, that c-na cause.of
swelling the merits of "tjie Danville roadl:it en-j
joys- the. advantage, ol .some considerable diSt
tance in transporting the freight and pas-
smigers of the. .SouthrSide ; road fttota Lyuch-
burg to Petersburg. Again, j-our- ' readers
will be surprised to learn, that the tariff as , first
framed for the N. C- road was reported by the
then engineer, Maj. Gwynn,!' and adopted by the
Boanl, of whiclrvou were the President. And I
say, ifi the priijcipieof discrimination has been en-
larel since, it has been for t he benebtof our own
roads arid markets ' But it strikes me as strangle
that the minority report should complain of a fa
vi1 being shown to'; the Virginia markets, when
the wry ;ineasure thev recommend,, proposes a
I measure, Whose very, object and effect Will beito
favor the lrg nm marketej at too expense of our
own. ' But I was not a Kttle surprised' to find
your report has exhibited thev whole, argument n
.avor of this Danville, coniiectipn. That, argu
ment has Den for'thegreat increase of the through
trnrrt. ' You say, that candor and truth compel
you lo Say, when- shaking of the' contest between
tlie Wilmington; and Charlotte, routes for this
through travel ' But it is Useless to regard this
petty contest Ix'twecn, these rival roads,, they aV
both destined to f have the grajt South-western
mail and travjel j Ixt.us look to the figures, arid
who can doubt it ?" You then jatdduce your fig
ures to prove tho advantage in favor pf tlie Ten
nessee and Virginia roadi To this you might
have referred, with still greater force against our
roadj to the road! now in the wurse Of construc

niingltoiK As'jVu admit wo are Hbus destined to

dpstrpy our chance for freight. 1 As to the idea of
t a ruing the, protluce from the valleys of the Dan
and ppper Roanike from their long establisbed
Virginia markets, yfyu bad as wfl attempt to turn
these, noble rivers. It cannot be dope, and - it i ?
nonsensical '.to talk, about 'it:"'- So as to the rich I
Uminelrals on the Dah lo which- you1 refer. It is
onlylneessary to state tl?ey are first to be carried
on thprinciplepf discriJiiinating in favor of long
'dis'ances againslj short, aid in favor of our own
markets against ithat of foreign. This discrimi
iiation as to distances is the jwlicy which is uiii
fofm'With .all-roads and suci , 1 know is prac
ticed by your favoritej the Danville road. And
your, readers will be a littlesurprised to learn,
whatever its policy, it was firstVecommended in
the firet tariff' for the North Carolina ,roadi by its
then . erflightehed Engineer, and adopted by the
Directors .of whom you. are one, nd whilst the
Toad was undcriyour control. That it has been
revihed, and in some things chahged,nay le true,
but the same principle of discrimination still ex
ists.- for, the. lirst iu mncs so j mucn is charged

to show that the icalculation is entirely futile. It
is not to, he'donei Virginia would not sanction
your Dabyillcistiheme for one moment if she Year
od any such result. I regret to find, as I think
do, a pirit of depreciation running through your
wnoae report againsi our .worm c-aronna roaa
intend no.disrespect in any thing I have said
am willing to admit it Ibay be.an honest difference
