Progress Of The Wilmington and Ra'
leigh Rail Road.


We applied 10 the Chief Engineer OF
tho Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road
for certain facts connected with his work
a day or Two ago, and his courtesy has
furnished US with the following, which
We now hastily embody.
Flfy-lhree miles Of The road have been
graded, and lorly-three and a half miles
Of rails have been laid. and thirty are in
a state Of forwardness. Some Of the
most important bridges have been CON-
pleled. Among those involving the great
est difficulty, and attended with the lar
2esl uuilay. is that across the Northeas,
branch Of Cape River, ten miles from
Wilmington. We rode out upon the
cars tn this bridge on The LIST inst. and
were particularly struck With its appear
ance. This bridge is $50 #. long, is
made up of three spans, and rests on two
stone abutmenis. and two stone piers
built in water 80 II. deep.
The company have two beautiful en-
gines. (bullt BY Slevenson,) which are
daily employed in carrying materials
along the line.
The ships and fixtures at this place
are progressing rapidly, and we hope the
dsy is not far distant. when the travel
upon this line will yield a rich reward TO
the Stockholders.
