also, that from Hairstou's Ford to within a few

Coal Formation ; therocks over which it pass
e , being" eiiher Coal Slate, secondary Sand
sioue, or some similar friable formation, that
may easily be made Into sluices of! the right

Things, stood in this position until the
the President of tlieiboard, and from -other
sources, to satisfy! them lhat a'cbange has
been decided upon which iti tneir opinion
is aj palpable violation of the Charter, one
wb ch affects ipjurioosly the interest of
the people upon ihe whole line: of the Cell-,
tral Itailroad, and which infringes upon
tbe rights and materially effects the inter
ests of tbe people of 'this portion ot tbe
Slate." 4't 1 ' h ' 1 1
lhe amount of ihe change in the loca
tion of the extreme Eastern portion of the
road: is from the best information yet re
ceived beVej that: the main stem of the
road,, instead of going to th,e river, at
Waynesboro, as was before dfctded, is to
pass directly on jo the Wilmjngton road
and terminate at a point very near to
Goldsboro. 1 , We cannot learn from any
authentic source, nor have the Stockhold
ers learned, that this change as specified
in tbe report authorizing it,! and which
was made as it is understood, at the insti
gation of Major Gwyn, embraces any pro
vision for any connexion withlWaynesbo
ro or the river. ;
The Stockholders here, are informed it
is true that ihe contractors prefer building
an arm! from some point on ; N. C. Kail-
rbad, abdvej Us termination ajt;.. tjii9- Wif
rriingtori irodto SVaybesboroVlo running

But no information has yet reached. those
interested bete, jt!o authorize thel belief,
that thej piiiciotk guarantee in any way
tbat this hill be don.'lt is repiorted here
tritieed, tb!a thisjrtrm tjo Waynesboro' is to
be jbuilt ariiiUhti operations are already
cfrnmencedf with: a view to (building it.
but rumjojr Is; allj the 'assurance that we
have hr, ihat such ps the (act. J It was
made the duty we lenrri of MjorGwyni
the CbiinEingineer, to send the proceed
ings of:Sth;e Boai-d at its late imefting, to
the Dii4tdris iridertt in Nevvbern, but
that has not been done. ;
But supposing fvenj, that there Is to be
a connexion j at fWy riesboro', such as re
ported, does this help ithe matter much, or
dews it justify ibid proceeding ? I V ;
;bnje thing is jcertaip in anyj event, uh
lejss all hfe trMiable injormatioh upon this
point thai hs beieri received here is er
roneous! and that th0 main stems; of tbe
,Radis to run1 to, or near to Gofdsbpro',
aid io touch tiei Wijmingtonj Road, and
not tbefrjvr and road both, as provided
by the Charter. If there is to be any con
nexion Mtt the ri veil at all. it is to be by
means of a fork or arm only frolm the Cen
tral Rail Uqad, W WaynesborbV This is
a palpable violation both of the letter and
trie spirit of the Cbartjer. Those who from
this section of the State atileasi, voted for
tbje Charier of bthb NjC. Rail Roadtjidso
with the express stipulation that a sum
wjas to be appfjpiriated for the improve
ment of ihe reuse Htver, anjd that the
main stem and not an s arm of the road,
wks to go to the river. Does the location
of the road as it is now understood to be
arranged, comply in any sense, with this
stipulation? Certainly not. Again, is not
this change a violation of contract, with
those who, with; the understanding that
the main depot at least was to be on the
river, subscribed to the stock of the Com
pany ? Clearlyito our minds. j!
;If it be j said trjat a .branch pr arm to
the river is the same in effect so far as
the interests oft lie Rad at large.gor our
rights and interests here are ;cbncernep
Wf deny it and say tojthose bvf whose in
fluence this wrong has been perpetrated,
that they are not to come the Giraffe over
us in this style. ' j ! ;
With the main stem running direct to
the river, ;the cars of course cornftvg down
the Central RailrOad would necessary go
first to the depot on ttc riverj and there
stop first. Whoissojdull as not ito see,
that this ? arrangement, j woUldl b0 more

ddce down the river. tban if there is mere
lyjan arm from the main stem jto the riv
er f ,The operation jof course will be,
that the principal train of cars will not
go to the river at! all, jor if itj does will
have tp be taken back from Goldsboro' to
Waynesboro. Occasionally k c&t may,

day to Brown's Hotel in Washington for the
time tbat Monsieur Kossuth and his whiskered
ragamuffin? remained in the Federal City, try
ing to overturn the foreign policy of tbe conn
frjb' And what a beaut ilul I comtrientary de"ss
this fact furnish upon the republicanism of the
great Magyar I" : The editorial correspon.
dent of lhat able and conservative jotruat, tbe
Richmond W big writing from Washington says:
On calculation. I find that, $500 per day for
twenty. two persons (tbe. number of ibis Red
Republican suite); make just twenty 4) wo dob
lars and seventy-three cenlspei person a nice
average, when you consider thai nearly half of
them were Jbe mere Hungarian menials, tbe
Common domestics of this renowned friend of
Eqbality Corpmoni report says that tjhe Mag
yar and bis aides de camp, ushers guards and
the like, (for he has III the mimicry of a court
about him) have had rather a fine time of
if! here : that the superiors had themselreserv-
,ed like princes :' and that their very servants.
when the masters were done feasting on every
thing that was cosily sal down to their second ;
try banquet, with each his bottle of champaigne!
I need hardly say that there is 110 royal nor im
perial household in Europe or upon earth where
the! lackeys are! allowed the like, are crammed
with! dainties and sluiced ivitb the richest juices
of the vineyard? j j - ".; j
Such seems to be the scene of high life be.
low stairs, which this Hungarian Patriotism
a wretched apery of j the profusion Uvjthout the
splendor of morjachieshas been siiffered to,
present among sl I The proverb says, " set a
beggar on horseback and he'll ride to the devil:"
and so have these laiterdemallions done, in the
exaltation to which they have been lifted by
popular favor here. Kossuth has kept a court
at Brown's, a state and attendance, thai are a
commentary upon his professions of republican,
ism, and upon the shallow gullibility of our peo
pie. He is awaited upon as if be were a king.
His door is defended irom vulgar approach by a
body-guard of Huns as servile and only less nu
merous aiid shabbily uniformed than if they be
longed to some crowned bead : ushers and pa
ges in mean liveries fence the nearer approach
to his person : aides de-camp and secretaries
are in immediate attendance upon his regal
presence; and in short, be plays the king in
this country which he could not bo in his own.
Now we should like to know, pertinently asks
the Wadesboro' Argus, where Congress finds
the power under the Constitution of the United
Stales, to pay live hundred dollars per day to the
keeper of Brown's Hlel 10 furnish champaigne
and other dainties o( the like kind totbis Hun
garian gambler and his ' shabbily uniformed "
bodyguard. No such power we venture to say,
can be found : and when congress makes the
appropriation for the payment ot this enormoirs
bill, it. will he placing its unhallowed bands up
on coin which it has no manner of rihl under
the sun to touch. As wellmiibl it vole supplies
Iqr IJ,uen Victoria s private purse, ?r make an
appropriation for the Duke of Wellington's
hounds. In the name of the goodrpeiiple of
this country we protest against any such dis
position of their funds.
; But this is the huuible and penniless exile
who comes upon a mission of demmracy a
nionggt us j and he must "have a court at
Brown's, a slate and attendance 1" He must
be waited upon like a King ' and must have his
door defended from Vulgar approach by a body
guard of Huns ! . And the people of the United
States, the poor hard working people, against
whose entrance his palace door is thus guarded
must foot tbe bill. 5;
