The Raleigh ami CASTOR Rail Road.

We ore much grailltd 10 learn, by q
statement of facts accompanying the re.
signalinn letter of Col. r. o. Brilton, the
late efficient President of The Raleigh and
CASTOR Road, that the affairs Of that Road
are, al present, in quite fatlerlng con-
dition During his administration oflhree
months, il seems that lie has purchased,
and paid for, 1920 feet Of Railing, at an
average cost OF S35 per misunderstanding
S2oO.5l5: lass cords OF wond. al Is els.
per cord-slO93,5 so; and 1900 sills, al
Is cts-S40O.0G. The amount Of timber
thus bough, doubles Tie quantity used dur.
inei like period al any former time.
Sufficient Iron. Of a superior and durable
kind, has likewise been purchased, TO re.
Law several miles Of the road. All the
known debts asans. the Road have been
pad, and some in prospectu have been
provided against. Sill there is balance
ON hand Ia favor Of The Road Of between
$4,000 und $500; and the Travel and
Freigh, are increasing daily! With the
Central Road built and in full operation,
we would desire no safer stock thnn invest.

Germs OF the Road during his brief Presi-

ton on The part Of the town, to the Central Rail
Road The meeting was addressed by John b.
Lord, esq. Col. Richards, and the Hon n. Boy
den. Mr.. Boydcn expressed perfect willingness
to he taxed 10 raise fifteen or twenty thousand dol
lars; aud farther said that he would subscribe TO
the extent Of his means. Seyefdl other gentle
men present manifested a commendablc spirit on
the occasion, and agreed to form company Of
twenty to raise 100000 dollars.
The following resolution was proposed, and
unanimously adopted;
Resolved That the Commissioners for the
Town Of Salisbury be requested 10 have polls
opened TO ascertain the sense Of the citizens OF
said Town, as to their wish for an application TO
the Legislature for an amendment of the charter
Of said Town, so as to authorize subscription

stock Of the North Carolina Rail Road Compa-
ny.
Mr.. Lord in his address at the opening Of the
