Here the chanqel washes tliehase of a high bank which is rarely if ever overflowed, nfordng every ncc.esa.an IHctlity for transhipment. Making Waynesboro' therefore, a point in the location, three lines were run from station 228, four and a half miles West of Qolds boro', to the Wilmington And Raleigh Rail Road ; one by the way of Qohsb,ory, thence to Waynes boro', making Waynesboro' th8;torminus of the Road. Ouc by Waynesboro q Qoldsboro' dirrct and one by Wayn(!sboror,n.tersectingtheWilming ton and Raleigh Rail IJotd, 1,08 miles 8mth of Goldsboro'. . These lines are all laid down on the accompa nying map in the order here referred to, lettered A. B. and C. and a comparison of their cwt, length, and grades will be found on a sheet hereto annexed, upon an examination of which it will lie found, that the lino passiog.through Waynesbero' and Intersecting the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road 1,08 niiles south of Goldaboro', designated as C. on the map, is 3,887 feeC shorter and will cost $10,277 less than line A. which ' stands next in the comparuton. Commencing at station 228 the point of diveiganee ftf the routes aboyo des cribed, two linos were run to Mount Auburn, ten miles East pf Raleigh, one crossing the Netise river at Smithfield, the other crossing on the lands of Wm. Vinson, four miles above Smithfjelil. The result shows 1 mile, 1720 feet in distance and 11, 000 in cost in favor of the line by Vinsorm; the rate of grade and length of straight line, is also iu favor of this route ; it was therefore scleed as he basis of the estimate aud is designatdd on the map by the red line. , From Mount Auburn, after a most thorough ex amination and survey of the country, with; tbe view of Obtaining the best route through the City of Raleigh, three lines .were selected for com pari-. son which will be designated as the South, mid dle and North lines. Tho South line runs doivu Wild Cat Branch, crosses Walnut creek, near Hol leman's bridge, and runs up Rocky Branch to its head, passing m the rear of the Governor s and Judge Cameron's residences, and thence in the vicinity of the Hillsboro' road to tho end of this division, six and a half miles West of Raleigh , The middle line deuce m's Poole's branch to tho junction with Walnut creek, aad aftrr crossing Walnut creek near Mr. Hutchings', it ascends along the slope of the ridge between Walnut and Crabtree, to its summit in the race field ; there it follows nearby the course of the ridge, pa&scs South of Mr. Atkincwa's through Raleigh by Hargett street to its re-union with the South line at Judge Cameron's. The North line is identical with the middle line, uotjl ;t reaches a point between the race field and Mr. Atki-itou's, it then runs a little South of Mr. Atkinson's and t hrough Lanu street by the Raleigh and Gos.ton Depot, back of the Female Bemioary and connects with the middle and Southern ljne near Hie Haywood road on the lands of Dr. Cook. It appears from a comparison of these lines as exhibited in the wmmpsnyihg tabler4hat. thJ South line is 1875 feet shorter, ami that the coat of praduation and construction is $6J88 less than on tha Middle line, aud that in comparison with the Northern line, the length is 2175 feet and tbe cost is $55,029 in its favor, yhe.maxiinum grade is the same on all the so lines, the grade being rather in favor of tbe Middle route ascending westward and about the same in both directions as the Nortbera line. The curvature is also in fa vor of the South Hoe as compared with both qf the other lines. , ; . - ;A line was also run uniting 'the South andNorth lines through Hairing ton street, which increased the distanco over the South line ,2760 feet and jfjie cosiszij.ou. n The cost, distance atd degree cf enrratnr be ing all in favor of the South Hue, I am compelled ia a professional point of view to give it tsy pre ference. There sre other considerations, howev cr, which may properly influence the Board, such as the propriety, probably tbe necessity and ob ligation of the Company, to put a depot within the corjiorate limits of Raleigh, which would be attended with no f rlons objections so ftr as the grades of the road are concerned on ths Middle line ; while on ths South lino the road ascends with a uniform grade of 47 febt per mile past Raleigh, npon which the establishment of a depot would be very objectionable, n account of the difficulty of stopping ths descending and starting the ascending trains, and.thia objection cin.,only be removed .by iotrodnclng a llghttr grade, which can ia no other way be effected tbanbv increasing tbo rate of ascont, fm .Walnut, Creek,, which would operate against this lioe t but M thA rride wonld b in favor of the'heavy tonnage, It 'would still nalntslo its superiorityerjthe middle line, i Recurring agaio to the comroencemtnt 'of the line at the Wilmington and Raleigh Rati oad, I 1 would jreeornjnerjdjhe r-!tab)ishro,nt of tie Depot Goldsboro', InstcAd of at the point of connec ! tion of the roads-for the reason that the Wil J wington and Raleigh Rail Road Company, having wareiiouaea aireauy erected at Goldsboro, could j without additional expense tp them give Accom -JiDodatiooi that would be a sAving the Compe- ' ". -. . l.toaaEapowjExcE or tub coMSinacrAi.' i v . ; New Yoa, May 21, 1861 . raau aieamsnip unio. wblcli wm el- pecteqyestenlay nUh Gold from Califomla," has 6ot arrived at this writing.

'Among other things 'they were restrict ed from diverting tbe surplus funds of . the Book Concern to any other purpose than Jhe support of snperannated preachers, cic. A great question will arise in this caso as tp the elfeet of tbw restrictivo rule. It grew out of the Kiibject of slavery. Thu Metliftdist denomi- uatiob at an early iieri'od took high ground on U-mperanee opd slavery. They excluded from membership any que who ( bought "d sold hu man beings' for the purpose of enslaving them';' and these provisions vfre found to be so impracti cable that they were rescinded at the next Gene ral Conference, and the matter was left to tbe legislation of the various States in which their members resided. About tho year 1-486 the agi tatiojn of abolition bejan very seriously to dis turb the Methodist 'Church. ' The bishops and the .conservative clergy endeavored to soothe the agitation.. , But in 1814 tbe.matter- became criti cal and decisive, and a state of things then occur red which necessarily led to a separation of this church Into fwo parts. A minister named Hard ing had been .com plained of n possessing - 'slaves, n4th.e; Baltimpt-e. 'although It was irajipsai'bie for hmJa . ttanuralt. Tho abolition spirit wa up; however, and it was determjtted, to ajtaak bias.. Witbbul trying him they passed a resolution that he should suspend his episcopal functions until he- manumitted' hi slaves. These things convinced . the.". Southern members of the (jburcb that it $was - unprofitable for them to go bri In connexion with tn Nortliera brothreri, lh'e''P'e'ente'f' .3ocamcn'to'tbe I the aetldn taken inih'e case of, BUboAitdrewp and the Rev,' Mr. Harding, and declaring that if it was persisted iu the Methodist Society In the 8outh would bo extinct.1 ' ' ;" " " I J.SixfceB utherB.
