TO THE EDITORS. f The next meeting of the North Caro lina Press Association will be held eom mencinf: on Wednesday, July 23rd, and continuing three days. The Executive Committee will select tho plac j of meeting on or about the first tfae war About half the trade of tho Atlantic road fell iato tho hands of tha Federals in March 1862, at the fall of New Berne and Morehead City, and by the middle of April 18G3, they had it in fair physi cal condition for operation for the whole 93 miles between Morehead and Golds boro. The North Caro'ina road, like the Atlantic, was a comparatively new road when the war began and wa3 left in an intolerable condition at its Close, and the Federal authorities very soon put the whole line m order for their uses alter tne surrender oi Johnston. The Raleigh and Gaston was also taken possession of, but its bridge had been destroyed, tne tfoan noke bridge burned at Gaston, and Wel don connections by way of Petersburg and Norfolk utterly broken up. The Western North Carolina road had not reached Moreanton when the war came on, and was a mere fragment when it closed. The Piedmont, from Greens boro to Danville, was built in 1864, as a military necessity and the Charlotte and Statesville road was torn up to iron it: and its . northern connection, the Richmond & Danville, was a total wreck The Fayetteville and Western extended only some forty miles out from Fayette ville. The present Carolina Central was a completed section between Charlotte and Lincolnton, and another was a frag ment in ruins, between the Pee Dee and Cape Fear, above Wilmington. The Charlotte and Columbia road was totally destroyed by Sherman's raid and incen diaries, and was not roopened for traffic for more than a year after STATE CHRONICLE, THUESDAY, APKIX.

And again a still broader question in business morals why should the local rate be. so cut of proportion (nearly six times) to the through rate?

Day by day the State Chronicle keeps its readers posted iu regard to the railroad building that is going on in the State, and tho projected lines that pro gressive men are trying to build. Last year .North Carolina built mere miles of railroad than any State in the Union, with ouo exception. The outlook in tho near future for still greater development . m along tins most important line or pro- grt ss is very good, as we pointed out a few days ago. It is interesting, profitable and en couraging to take a retrospective view extending' over twenty-five years, and nolo the progress we" have mado. The Chronicle does not hesitate to predict that the next twenty-five years will show an increase that will not bo comparable to tho progress of the last quarter of a century. We are but on the threshold of railroad building. The day is not far distant when tho State will be honey combed with these arteries of trade, promoters of commerce and developers of resources. Railroad building is the most impor tant of all line3 of progress, because they nro tho forerunners of all great manufacturing and mining industries. Without railroads penetrating every sec tion, tho untold mineral resources of the fetato cannot be brought to light, nor can machinery be brought to make up our raw products, or the manufactured products be put upon the market. They are tho arteries of trade and manufac turing, and without them the blood stagnates, and there is no active, pulsa ting power. The Chronicle, always alert to pro mote every industrial enterprise in tho State, rejoices in the great progress we h:vo mride, but most of all in the bright outlook for future net-work of railroads that will cover the State. The people everv where ought to lend their hearty co-operation to the promoters of railroads and hasten tho day when no eountiy or progressive community will be without railroad facilities. Maj. Ym. A. Hearne has contribu ted an at tide to the Wilmington Mes senger giving a retrospective view of the railroads of North Carolina twenty-five years ago which, in view of tho great development going on, has peculiar in terest, lie writes: North Carolina presented a sorry spec tacle for business and industry twenty five years ago, at the close of the war. There was not an unbroken line of travel and transportation in the State. What cotton and other marketable produce the devastating hand of war had left in the possession of our ruined people had to carted to the navigable waters, aud put on boats for transportation to some mar ket to fivid buyers. , Such portions of our fragments of railroads as were fit to rur. cars over were in the hands of the Uni ted States militia, and were not pretend ed to be operated for the accomodation and convenience of our citizens. It was not until midsummer of 1SG5 that tho Unitf d States military authorities opened tho A. & N. C railroads, from Raleigh to Morehead City and New Berne, for tho use of the general public, and then at the mvt fearful rates for travel and transportation. We wish our eld irUud Rosenthal, now living in OoU'sboro, t would try to remember what he paid the Military railroad per bale, for carrying cotton from Golds boro to New York in July and August 1865, and for the goods of his first stock opened in Wilson in the fall of that year. The charges were enormous, and added to these was the cartage of 24 milei between Goldsboro, and Wilson. winter, and then it had practically no Northern connection. We were iu a sorry plight as to rail roads. All the engines and cars had been either destroyed or worn out in the service'of the Confederacy, and about the only available rolling stock was that be longing to the Military Kail wa v sj stem of the United States; and when the foil season of 1S65 came around the masses of our people no more looked for rail road service than if such a thing aa.rail roads had never been heard of. The en tire railroad mileage did not then ag gregate nine hundred miles of road be J, rotten cross ties, burned bridges and worn out iron.

HAL BOBBITT 8 DRUGSTORE. pIMm- I CitarJ TV It, i'; i 3 I; OUR The entrance of W. E. Muitcinsox, Esq., into journalism aa editor of the Jonesboro Leader, recalls one of the brightest pieces of legal wit by Mit. Murchison in the annals of legal anec dotes, rich with bright sayings, in the State. It was worthy the brightest ot the English Chancellors, and, at the risk of making an error in the verbiage, we shall commit it to cold typ9 so that Buo. Murchison's fame as a great wit my go down to posterity. Some time ago, Mr. Murchison appeared in an ac tion of ejectment in Harnett court. It wa3 a hot day. The people at court were listless. The jurymen were sleepy, and His Honor, Judge Shut, could not conceal that he was bored by the hum dram proceedings of court. With such surroundings Mr. Murciiison arose to address the "gury m a dry action of ejectment. Pretty soon he saw that to gain attention, he would be compelled to do something, so raising his voice, he said: "Gentlemenof the jury: I am going to tell you an anecdote." The ef fect was magical. The restless by-stand-ers pricked their ears and leaned for wardthe jury woke up and His Hon or turned in hs chair and paid strict at tention. When ho had thus obtained the ears all, Mr. Murcuison proceeded ; to relate a long rigmarole to the effect that in company with Judge Shipp he had traveled through the country from Moore, how they had been delightfully entertained at the home of a hospitable Scotch farmer, and how his daughters had entertained them with delightful music, and how after being thus regaled they had come on in peace of Lillington. Then, when he had spoken so much, he stopped and began on his argument. Judge Shipp interrupted him with the remark: "Brother Murchison, I do not see any point in that auedote." Mr. Murchison stopped a moment, and turning to the jury, said, "And neither do I, gentlemen of the jury. But Judge Shipp told me what I have retailed to you as a great joke. I could not see the point, but I attributed it to my ob-tusenc-ss. I then and there determined to ascertain by jury trial if what Judge Shipp told me as a joke was funny. And, gentlemen, I have taken this occasion to give the joke a fair trial by jury." "They say" that the bar and specta tors were immensely tickled, but that Judge Shipp took occasion, as he was passing out of the court room, to say to the foreman of the jury : "There's not a word of truth in it."

A GREAT HARDSHIP. lA8heville Democrat. The Richmond and Danville railroad proposes to charge thirty dollars a car load for brick to pave the city, from Paint Rock to Asheville. Gen. P. M. B.You.ng, the paving contractor, says that the East Tennessee Virginia and Georgia railroad, from Knoxville to Paint Rock, will charge only ten dollars per ear load. The latter distance is one hundred miles and the former only fifty four. The railroad's explanation of this monstrous discrepancy is that the route from Knoxville to Paint Rock is a through rate, while that from Paint Rock here is a local rate. This tech nical solution of the discrepancy seems to the rate, makers to be entirely satis factory and just, but to th 'tod of the Phone 28. D. T. JOHNSON, Aq't.
