Letters were read from Governor Matilvx- pressing a deep inte: est in the success of this work, and slating that the notice given to him was too short to allow of a meeting of the Board of Internal Improvements, to attend in person or by proxy. . . ' . The Company proceeded to the election of offi cers which resulted as follows : : For Pkesikhxt, Edward Lee Winslow, Esq. ol Fayetteville. ; For Directors,: Chas. T. Haigh, Alfred A. McKcthan, Henry L. Myrover, John II. Cook, George McNeill,Thos. Lutterloh, David A. Ray, Edmund J. Lilly, John D. Starr. We. heartily congratulate the Company on their success in securing o respectable and competent a Board for the management of its affairs. Every one of them deeply interested in the prosperity of this town' and that region from which' its trade principally conies ; every one lending business ( men, and large property holders, in tlie place ; the I public has an ample guaranty that all the interests involved will be faithfully and ably controlled, As an evidence of their standing among their fellow citizens, we may mention, that with every citizen in town lo sek'ct from, and among very many gentlemen -voted for, tho whole nine Directors were elected on the first ballot.
