RALEI&H AND GASTON ROAD.
ThM Report of W. W. Vass, Esq., Presi
dent cf 'th'R'aleigh and Gaston Rail Road
while in charge of the State, communicated
to the present Assembly, is before us. This
document is brjef, and creditable to the Pres-
idenU'ah'd'td'those- who, uncjpr his direction,
'contiribiiled for so many month to keep this
work1 fn' operation on so slenqer a foundation
and with such small means, j
We'reg'ret that we lack space to present
theReport entire, but we make room for the
following extract in relation to the purchase
of a certain quantity of iron for the Road un
der a Resolution of the last Assembly : , . '
'For reasons above given, the Road, 'with
the stricterit economy, and the most indefati
gable exertions on the part ot ail concerned,
has not been able to maintain itself, defray
ing its current and necessary. expenses, and
realize a sufficient surplus to pay for the iron
purchased in February. 1851. Indeed, it
could not have been done by anything short
of a miracle. The history rof the purchase
alluded 'to is known 1o your Board. Irtiay
report of November 29, 1850. and; which was
submitted to the Legislature then n session,
the fact vas stated that the Road would have
to stop operations at once, unless spmer2 or 3
hundred tons of light front euro kl be immedi
ately procured and laid iipon the track. " To
prevent the alternative indicated, and, with
the laudable view of, keening up the road as
loo 'as t be convenience and necessities of
the pubuc eeraed to demand, the Legisla
ture, or -me eve oi its nnai aojournmeni,
passed a Resolution authorizing your Board
to make the necessary purchase of iron, if it
could be made by pledging the proceeds of
'the road for the payment. . Your Board au
thorized me to make the negotiation ;rand.
with an official copy of the said resolution, I
repaired to the extensive Iron establishment
in Richmond owned by John R. Anderson.
The Resolution ' of the Assembly, a copy of
which is appended, was exhibited by me as
the only basis on which I was authorized to
negotiate ; and, as our Ro.nd had been, deal
ing regularly, for several years pasVwith the
house of Mr. Anderson, justly distinguished
for its high character ; nd 'entisrprissjMhat
gentleman did not hesitate tp?nte'i! into a
written contract to furnisft. iron on the terms
proposed, and at a price below y that which
we had paid six .months prevtefcSi

and the whole debt, amounting, with interest,
on the 1st May. 1851, to .the sujn of $12,711 75
is suit uue ana unpra7u iur.
' The whole of the iron purchased was laid
on the track of the road, and since the trans
fer of (ho road to the new. company, it has re
mained in their t possession. It will not,
trust, be inappropriate in me, to express the
hope that your Board will lay this matter be
fore the Legislature cf the State, to . whose
special attention it is commended by it own
intrinsic importance : nor can it be : out of
place on this occasion, to offer my congratu
lations at the final triumph of the old Raleigh
and Gaston Railroad over all its difficulties,
nnd the confident belief, that the State will!
at once promptly adopt measures for the pay

to let go. But we speak !lor ourselves only,
and mav see cause to change" our mind here

awhile. :

-Well : do you see a prospect for doing

The Mercury is honest and speaks plainly.
He is one of these who go for purigrtg; the

will the Whiff presses of North Carolina
look into the matter,' and when .they view

TRUST IN THE LORD.
; A pious woman ?ho was reduced to extreme
poverty and deserted " by her intemperate
husband, was taken siclc, and lay several days

and they haa eaten it all. Still she lay sick,,
with no means of obtaining qjra, s.tnight;
closed upon; the Lungry nousenoia. ine:

but not so the mother. ' She ' saw no" help for
them . but in God. and: she spent the night,

A statement is going the rounds' of the
newspapers that a Dr. Payerne,of Cherbourg.
in France, has invented a means to descend
to the bottom of thp sea and to' remain there
with a body of operatives as long asiieIea-
e$ replacing by chemical means the? oxygen
absorbed ; and that he has also found a' modi?
pfdirectinga boat under ;water, by steam, as if
it were on the surface, He.engages to reach the
English coast from any harbor, in France. It
is sdid that the inyentiori is promised the. pat

tion should prove successful, the long desired
