DELAYS.ON THE RAILROADS.

The Itilr lliffenrcr spresrs to isrume that
a I the delays complained nf do occur on
ihe Roads South cf Ptlmhurg; andstonee
sweeps Ihem a'fon to this Raleigh 'nnd
GasUin Road. r I sm nntvillinp; to believe
tha editor of lbt paper would intentionally
do.as wrong; but ihst article does us. manl
iest intuslice. It is true that del vs. nave
tC urrt'd on this Rfad; lot many of tlie J
eases to which my attention his been eul
led, represerueil as pwticlaHy srievons,
have occu red North of Uiis Road., I (n
not desire lo throw blame on the Peters.
burg Rood; but to show that there ore
complaints that should not rect on this.
I will ciie some facts to show that eiihet
too mneh is expected, or the huh is not all
on the Rali-igli and Gaston Railroad.
In the first place, ynur paprr was about
eighteen dnys from Richmond to ; CidS'on,
snd it came in reasonable time from Uit
place.
A merchant of your Count r states, he
received a bill for a lot of Salt, I think, in
August; nnd that, after a period of -almost
two months, the , consignor infunned him
that it was still in Petrisbnrp.
On the 5th of October a merchant of
this place called on me lo ciimplai.i of
tneoeiay ol liis .Uoods, ana assured me
they were then detained at Gaston; that the
forwarding merchant from Pclersbutg had
been to his Store. fSOlh September,) and
stated- thai Jiis jutoda had .been forwarded
before ho left that town. The mer
chant desired lo go lo Gaston to' find his
goods, but complaining of indisposition, I
informed him I was going, down Ural day
and would advise him if his goods were
there. I remained at Gasioti through the
and had not been there.
Another merchant of thi place, on . the
I2ih of Ocrobcr. bought of one honse
two crates of crockery, both erected on
the same bill of sslo. One crate was en
tered on bill of lading of lllh, csmo duly
to hand; ihe other could not be heard of
the owner appearing to charge tho blame
on ibis Rnarj. I wrote near a dozen letters
on the subject; when, on the 17th of No
vember, 31 days after the firt entry, came
a Bill of lading for the other crate, and ihe
article itself came duly to hand. Numer
ous instances may be cited where this Road
has been blamed for delays that have not
occurred South of Gaston. In such cases,
tyow-grw

As to delays on this Road, and the euse:
In the first place, it is known that Ihe mo.
live powtr is very limited still, st tht
commencement of the year, it was believ
ed to be sufficient to met successfully the
ordinary business of the Road, Circum
stance thnt could not be foreseen, brought
on the Road a vast amount of tonnage in
the shape of Corn, and that al the season
of heavy Todaccoirude; and transported at
so low a rate of freight as not to afford
means for increasing the machinery to meet
the emergency. Still ihe motive power
would hare encountered the business suc
cessfully, hut an extreme wet win er was
followed by, a summer unprecedented for
rains and floods, which seriously itnpedfd
the operations, and ncreased very . much
the injury to the Road and machinery
when, shout the 1st uf August, there came
a succession of floods that threatened de
struction to the Road. Several embank
ments were broken down, or carried away j
to such eiient as to stop the Mail train for ,
about three days, and almost paralvzinr
the freight operaiions a groat iiortion of i
the month and before Hits Road ciuiJ
recover from these disasters, a larie amount
of Salt waa offi'ied for transportation, be
yond the means of the motive power to
transport before the FaU Merchandise:
presented usew. t onsequentlv. a portion
of the Salt, and ronsidrrahle Iron, was
much delayed; inmii Groceries sufierd a
detention of a few days only. It is be
lieved that Dry Goods suffered no seiious
delay on this Rond.
1 am informed by a forwarding merchant
at Gaston, ihnt pot . rax e than una.
fourth tha usual quantity uf Goods has
come to ilmt place by Bailroad tit's Fall, for
River trade.
An unusual amount of MerrlinnJi
came over ihe Road this present FaH; and
as iwon a it was manifest tha motive pow
er was , insufficient, the Commissioners
promptly ottlered a new Locomotive; but,
being unable to find one ready-made,
prevenied the possibility of procuring it in
time for the Fall business. That business
is now nesrly over. The New Loromo
tivo is expected early in January, when
it is believed the means wilt be sufficient
to meet the wants of the public.
As regards the loss of Gi.oJs: . Every
firocaution is taken t prevent persons
taving access to the Goods except at
Depots. Dry Goods, airj,d othc valuable
articles thai would offer temp'.aiton,' are
pal in box cars, secured wiih good locks,
that cannot be opened, except at Depots.
Some ofthemost , serious complaints of
boxes being robbed. I kno w from personal
observation, came in cars, under lock, nnd
the boxes in such position as to be inac
cessible, even with the doors open, without
anloadingt the packages complained, of
being back from the door, and the car
filled to the top, which will render jt im
potsiblo to get Into the ear. even when the
door is open, but by first taking out the
good:"" ' 'v,,,i"
It seems ' hardly possible thst ea?es
which "appear in good order, could . have
been robbed on the train such must un
doubtedly be dona on board vessels, or at
Warehouses. vlf the boxes could be delie,
ered to the Road well hooped, there would
be rio difficulty in ascertaining what con
dition it should he delivered. , Wh'rt ft is
evident losses do occur on the road, they
desire to make foil compensation. A great

of the. British Cotton nwket; and , the,
question presents i'seif wub great . forxrr
whether it would not be better to encouiage
