The last Defiance brought; from Wash! ington, N. C, forty bales of cotton for Northern points. We understand that the buyew at Washington k3o not expect cotton to come in freely until the first of next month.- Work ox the Westkrk North i i Carolina Kailroad. me state com missioners, Messrs. Jai vis Vance and Worth, say in the report of their last in spection, that a force of seven hundred hired hands is at work on th Ducktown line, much grading has been done, and that the work iabeing pushed rapidly forward. On the Paint Rock brach i they i find hat fourteen miles of track has been aid during the past ninety days, reach Marshall, the ng within two milee of grading being completed point, ready for the iron, ar bevond that and that the work on both lines has been pushed for ward with diligence and jenergy. Fourteen miles inf three? months does not strike, us as very energetic track lay ing, and while the report bf the com mis- sioners; in regard to the progress of thejS T Carfow grading, conveys nothing more dennite than far beyond Marshal, we do not accept their report of the work Ion either ine as a satisfactory statement. nn iina t.am i. a At tit & juiijr iutijr ccui ui mc grauiu was donct before the! present owners of the road took charge pf it, and from Marshal to Paint Kock much more thau that prorxrtion-orthVMluigr liad . been completed. i " j j The track is still twenty-five miles short . . i l of Paint Rock; the whole distance from Asheyille to that point is only forty-three, 1 and, if we mistake not, they have been on their portion of the line twelve months, and were to have had itjentirely comple ted to Paint Rock the first of last.Tulv. .

We have no idea that the road will be completed to! Paint Rock this! year, and at the present rite of progress not before next summer. The Union Meeting .i on Monday Night. We publish on the third page meetine, held on Monday nieht for the purpose ot torming a laoorers' Union. It'will be observed that they distinctly dis avow any purpoee to molest or interfere witn tnose wno ao not see nt toco operate with them m their movement, and they condemn j all violations of tbe law. The resolutions endorse the action o the stevedores and dock hands inde manding twenty and; twenty-five cents i for day and night work t espectively, and aaopt mat as a proper oasis ior tne wages of ordinary labor of a transient char acter. The wages for regular labor by the day, wee or montb.do jnot appear to be prescribed that is we presume to be letf to the regulation of the Laborers TTn w ash er women. ion which is to include cooks, nurses and we presume all classes of laborers. 1 We cannot see that the proposed or ganization is practicable, or how it can result beneficially "to the masses of tbe colored people or how such a Laborers' Union can secure the necessary unani mitv to make the movement effective We can understand .how mechanics and skilled laborers of special classes can establish prices for given quantities and qualities of work, but how the mas sej ol common laborers jean be proyidedl with a price list to luit the various- em ploympts and requirements of employ ers, the different capacities, strength and industry of the laborers themselves; and the dirTefent kind and character of j- wofk to be done is beyond our com prehension. and a union will find that Jits stipulated fcftess cannot and will not be regarded either by employers or laborers Take for example cooks, washerwo men and nurses. These-do tot all at- a;n to tbe same proficiency, and bffe is not worked as much as another. Aft families are not exactly of (he same size, nor is their cooking and 'washing the 8ame, and it follow s- as a matter of course that the wages for these servrees 'cannot be fixed at the same figures nor is it po. sible to graduate a scale of prices Co meej the demands of every case i We apprehend therefore that the tin. ion will encounter such difficulties at the outset as will demonstrate its utfit impracticability; that employers and la borers will alike disregarded TOtioft and that the latter would soon tire of payfng the dues necessary ia stistaiin arnd defray the expenses of an officered organization such as the meeting of Monday, night proposed Arrivals at the Hotels.
