If the extension of the Albemarle and Raleigh Railroad to this city will enhance the value of real estate (and surely it will), is it not somewh it re inarkable that any person owning such property should oppose it? Can it be possible that mere corporation jealousies should be allowed to de feat a measure which, it is acknowl edged, would be a benefit to our whole people? Our popular and enterprising under taker, John W. Brown, Esq., is in de mand all over our State. A few days ago he was called upon to furnish a very handsome metalic casket and superintend the funeral of Dr R. B, Saunders, who died in Durham and was taken to his home in Scotland . deck for interment. Mr. Brown says a very large number of people assem bled in the Episcopal church at the funeral. Mr. W. G. Upchurch showed us this moraine a stalk of cotton raised on his woodland farm about four miles south west from the city. It excels anything we have ever seen, the 'stalk Is six feet high and has one hundred and thirty seven matured bolls on it. Can any one beat this ? Mr. Upchurch , is one of our most successful farmers and speaks confidently of the present crop as the best for years. In our rounds this morning, one of our best informed citizens and also one of the best farmers we know, said to us, that it was not so much the price of cotton from which the farm ers had suffered as that the land had failed for several years 10 prouuee sne 'quantity it snoum, mat mis present ? Yia nrinna now ratine, would bring more money in this part of the country iuau v ' years, that the farming class would ' be more independent.

W in der, General Manager of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad made a report. Maj. Winder says that in considera tion of granting the- Atlantic Coast Line the privilege of entering the new depot in this city, the Seaboard Line had aBked that they might be allowed to enter the depot in Richmond own ed by the Coast Line. This favor had not so far been granted, as it was said that the Richmond Depot is not large enough to accommodate the roads owning it.
