The meeting was or ganized by calling - John I.j Snaver, Escf.. to the Chair, and the appointment of S. W. James, oecreiary. ; 1 t The object of the meeting was explain ed by JohjTB.

The common charge is one half of that used in the old percussion gun, and is satd to'carry the ball to its mark nine hundred yards. None of the powder is wasted, tho fire being communicated from the side' of the barreU and not from ! tljic breech'. - This is eflectcd by an ingen ious contrivance. The part ofithe cart i,Tidge ncxtjthe ball is filled with an explo ! sive substance similar to that in a percus sion cap.

Graham passed through this place on Tuesday morning last, and stated to some friends at the Hotel, that six gentlemen met Sin Raleigh a few days ago, and each of them subscribed to the Railroad, the sum of ten thousand dollars. making, in all, the handsome subscription of Sixty thousand dollars.

It will now be my business to offer a few reasons why all citizens of the Stale should feel interested in these projected improvements, and patronize them according tolheir means. 1. The first reason which I shall offer is that of individual pecuniary interest. When a rail road passes through any country, it makes every man's property the more valuable in pro portion to its vicinity. It gives-Jo every man, comparatively at his owo door, a market for the produce of his lands, or the articles which he may manufacture.
