THOS. J. LEMAY," Editor and Proprietor. 1 1 YOL. 3. 4,. ' ' Y ' , UALEICIt, If. C WEDNESDAY. DEC. SO, lS-li? ! Wv-n il ! . ; ...' f For the Star, Mr. Enrroaj To a former communica- lion. I urged a better construction of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road, and an extension or that work, and I --am highly gratified to find - he tnessag e of Oorernor Graham recommending the subject of In- ternal Improvement in a manly and patri otic style. n "vf.-.t ,-','-:-t -'.tv--- The extension of (he - Raleigh and Cat ton Road to Charlotte" would be a great central work Of Improvement calculated Ho confer great - and lasting' benefits on " the State and worthy of iu united energies. Allow.me respectfully to appeal to the member of the Legislature in behalf of this scheme: : When iu benefits are considered, all party leeling and sectional prejudice should be laid aside, nor should the fear of clamor being raised at tointaginary pros pect of taxes being raised have any weight in a matter . off such Importance. The work proposed would so much lessen the price of transportation as to make it to the advantage of ihe farmer, and all others, if . need be, to submit, for a short time, to a slight increase otTaxea. Jam of opiuton that the work would eventually, pay a hand some interest on the cost of construction, as extension would greatly increase the busi ness and travel, thug rendering the present Koau more profitable. ' ' North Carolina ought to, and could fur nish bad the tveonle facilities of tottm? to market) Richmond and Bal ftrtt tttppliti of new flour, always com manding a higher price in market, as these treat flour marts could not set the wheat in their own Vicinities as soon as the flour could be furnished from the South, where crops ipen earlier. The Western Rail Koad from Albany, to Boston takes flour at fifty cents per barrel, and - other articles in proportion. , Similar rates on the route not recommended would enable the far mers to send many articles to market, which they now raise only for home consumption. Bu iter, . .Cheese, Bacon, Beef and Pork, with many , other articles would become State more remote from market. The price of the home articles of consumption, such as Salt, Iron and groceries, would be great ly lessened in the reduced price of freight. Having cheap and speedy access to market at any season or the year through, the merchants living on the Tine of the Road . or convenient thereto, would give many ad vantages over, the present expensive and tedious process of. traveling, at particular seasons of the year to distant markets. Never was there a more favorable pe riod for the Legislature to act efficiently on the subject of Internal , Improvement than the present .The experience of the States which have succeeded in Rail Road enter prise should encourage us;, the benefit of the vast improvements in structure of Koads and fixtures Including motive power may be rendered available. In addition to- the prospect of a market by connection with the Wilmington Road, there . is the most encouraging prospect of speedily haying a much improved re-construction of the Sea board ana Roanoke Rail Road, intended to unite with the Raleigh and Gaston Road This with the Petersburg Road will give a choice of either the Richmond, Petersburg or Norfolk markets. ' , With proper construction and 'Moderate thargei, all these Roads may calculate on a fair amount of business. . -"" ' - CLINTON. Dee. 11.1848. r A . . , For the Star. Ma. Editor: -I have eeen Governor Graham's special message to bur Legisla ture on the subject of Rail Roads, and much admire his zeal for the Improvement of the State, The extenaioiof the Italeigh and ttaston Road o Charlotte, in, my humble opinion, is. the most judicious plan for the general good, and may render " the present Legislature the .Ttost important tlist has eyer met in thaStafoVr --'' v-w ,-"' - .
