DASVJT,T.F, RAILROAD.

We learn from letter OF Mr.. Darlington in
the Times from Charlotte e. H., that The laws
fix the salary Of the President al 81 500, without
the payment OF travelling expenses; and that OF
the Clerk al 81 200, with such travelling expenses
to be paid as he may be directed TO incur. A re-
solution "hat the most eligible, direct roule nde-
pendent Of any other railroad, should be selected
as The site of the road between Richmond and
DanviIe," was adopted, having received all the
voles given except The 81 votes OF the individuals
10 Richmond favorable 10 the Clover Hill con.
neciion.
A letter from MIR J. w. Syme Of Petersburg
recommending the commencement Of the road al
Blacks and Whites in Nouoway, was read 10
the meeting, and being taken up tor consideration,
was respectfully laid on The table, the previous &C
ton OF the meeting having very distinctly indica-
ted The determination Of The Company 10 make an
independent and continuous road between Dan
Vile and Richmond.
There was much discussion OF an interesting
character during The proceedings, WHICH we're
conducted with renal kable hagmoaiousness and
good feeling. The meeting was an important
event in Southern Virginia, and is evidently so
esteemed by The people Il has given entire con-
dence that the work will be actively and success.
fully prosecuted. The extensions into the Sou'h
Yves, and North Carolina are regarded as in Ger.
