DJ-We do not think it worth while TO en-

that the State has voted for Taylor and Fill

You'd all question-and no Wing need deny
it, for it is so-Gen. Taylor was supported in
the North on the ground that he would approve
the Wilmot Proviso, ard in the South on the
ground that he would veto it; and such being
the case, one section the other must and
will be deceived. Such an Administration as
Gen. Taylor's is bound to be, cannot stand
Within twelve months from the 4th of next
March, if indeed he should live to attempt to
carry out the will of a majority of Congress,
his Administration will be shaken to its foun-
datons; and many of those who have voted
for him, and who have shouted for him as the
unsurpassed hero and soldier, will curse him
and repudiate him with all the bitterness which
springs from disappointed hopes and expecta,
tons. We hope for the best, but we must
confess we apprehend great and serious dan

If on the other hand, he shall fulfil the hopes
and pledges of his Northern supporters, the
Government of the country must be, through
out his term Of Office, Northern Administra-
ton, with anti-slavery as IFS animating spirit
and the prostraton and ruin OF the South as
its leading object. In every aspect. therefore,
the administration of Gen. Taylor presents a
subject of speculation full of perPleXl'y' anu
one cannot look forward to it but as a thea
ire of great events, and possibly of fatal ca
tastrophe. In such an eXIgtncy, there are
higher duties than party consistency; and the
safety of our country demands that we shall

preconceived opinions, but by its acts, by its

The Committee think it proper TO state that
the sum of $27, 251 Is, the difference between
the sale of old Iron and Copper, and the pur-
chase of new Iron, used in relaying portion
of the road, the Iron being much heavier bar
and more permanent, is more properly charge
able to construction account, than to current
expenses or road repairs and that if the same
was so charged, the difference between the
annual receipts and expenditures would amount
to 500, 1882 40 as profits.
1t will be seen in the foregoing statement
that the debt of the Company on the 1st Oc-
tober, 1848, was increased $1O,756 16; this
increase has arisen from the fact that On the
first day of October there was due from the
Post Office Department s1s,75O, which was
received and applied to the reduction OF the
debt on the 14th October, few days after the
expiration of the fiscal year and that if the
same had been applied previous thereto, as it
has been heretofore, there would have been a
reduction of debt on the LIST October, 1913, OF
the sum of 1892 81 ;-whie the accounts
show an increased debt of $15,756 l6; they
also show an increase of available means, on
the 1st October, 1913, of the sum of SIG 500
g., over those of the LIST October, 1847.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

WILMINGTON & RALEIGH RAIL ROAT

The Stockholders of this Road, as our read
ers are aware, held their annual meeting in
this place last week. DR.. Hill, of Brunswick
county, presided as Chairman of the meeting,
and Messrs. VIM. A. Wright and VIM. Hill as
Secretaries. We have not heard officially that
any action was taken by the meeting beyond
it's ordinary yearly election of officers, &c.
We have not had the pleasure of perusing the
report made by the President of the Road. We
reprint, from our town papers, the report Of
the " Examining Committee" appointed at
the previous annual meeting. We regret to
observe, from this report, that the receipts of
the Road, for the last IL months, have fallen
off S14,O21 10, as compared with the former
year. But however much we may regret this
falling off in receipts, we think every friend
of the Road should be truly glad that it has
been no worse, when they take into conside'
ration the fact that a most formidable line OF
steamers, between New York and Charleston
has been in successful operation for upwards
of - months, thereby taking away an i'm.
mense amount of travel from our Road But
we have no time to 60 into an analysis of the
report, the reader can peruse it and form his
own conclusions concerning the prosperity Of
the Road. One thing, however, seems to be
clear to our mind that the future prosperity
of the Wilmington & Raleigh Rail Road de-
ponds materially, if not entirely, upon the
building of the Wilmington and Manchester
Road.
The following gentlemen were reelected
officers of the Road for the ensuing year -
Gen. Alex'r McRae, President; and f. B. bud
ley, P. X. Dickinson. o. G. Parsley, VIM. A
| Wright, G. Potter, and J. T. Miller, Directors
on the part of the Stockholders. Four Direc
tors to serve for the State, will be appointed
