terms the dismissal of the Louisiana volunteers falls
most mercilessly upon the Secretary of War. ltis

transaction, III which he was, we presume, the mere

of the War Department:

THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD.


Meetings are now being held along the line Of
the road from Raleigh to Fayetteville, thence to
Cheraw and Camden, on the subject Of the extern
sion of the Raleigh and Castor Railroad or, in
other words, the completion of the connecting link
in the metropolitan route
vi the importance OF this work, in every point
OF view, nothing need be said. But a correspond
ent OF ours is DESTROYS to impress upon the capital
lists OF the country, North and South, the very IA
vorable opportunity this road, from Raleigh to the
South Carolina line, offers for investment of money.
The road from Castor to Raleigh cost 81 900, 900,
and may be purchased for 100000. The road
from Raleigh to Fayetteville, and thence to the
South Carolina line, may be laid down for mil
lion of dollars. Thus the entire line from CASTOR
to the South Carolina line would cost 81 100000
for road one hundred and seventy miles long
the cheapest road in the country. But the country
through which the road will run is one in which no
spare capital can be found, but in which materials
are plenty, of the best kind where provisions are
cheap, and where, best of all, the people are
honest, and are all ready, every man, to do all he
can Capitalists at the North or abroad may safely
trust their money in this good old Wing anti-repu-
diation North State. Her people are ever true to
themselves, and they will ever be SO to those who
trust them.
