tha. most wonderful discovery Of modern
times THE TELKoRArH. II is small piece
Of machinery with wires branching of IN
different direriions along which The light

Road 10 obliged 10 have this invaluable
sppendage. BY this means The state of
the several markets can I've known in

tershurg, the officer Of the Rail Road, at
that place. or some confidential friend has
the Telegraph At Salisbury or Concord set
70 work. and brfore a man can walk 10
hrs stable. hiring out horse and saddle
him Tor journey. the same fact Is made
public in your own county town. You
see that this secures you against runners
and specnfafors, and enables you 10 avail
yourself Of the hest market in the very
shortest time. But this is moi the only
benefit which the farmer may expect from
this great undertaking.
The increase in fhe Talue afhis Land
Is consideration Of greatmasnilude. Only
a few days ago, IL is a notorious fact that
lands Of fair quality numbering several
thousand srrcs lying in The county Of
Davie, some seven &C eight miles from the
town Of Salisbury, some Of them on the
Yadkin River. sold a, public auction on
long credit for less than three dollars an
acre. Such lands in the Stale Of Georgia
laying within seven or eight miles Of any
point OF any OF her Rail Roads would
command al least twelve dollars an acre.
That like appreciation will take place in
these very lands, and in all'oihers similar
ly situated. IL this road is made, cannot
be doubted Cor a moment. We do not {
res, this assertion upon mere conjecture !
like results will follow from like causes all !
the world over: attend then 10 the follow
ing facts. The ciiizeus Of Wilmington I
subscribed 10 their Road as much as all I
their houses and lots were assessed a, the Z
year before. Al the last assessment this q
same properly was valued al more than !
double its former rate. Again, the Comp
iroller's hooks show that eight hundred 9
dollars of value has been added !
to the taxable lands in -FOUR counties .
through which the Wilmington Rail Road !
passes. since il has been pun into opera y
ton. The lands lying along the line of 7
The Raleigh and CASTOR Rail Road (al- y
though misfortune has besel this work in =
every oiher pariiclar) have greatly increas- e
ed in value. The same thing can be said I
Of The Charlotte and South Carolina Rail y
Road, although there is no, yet a single y
mile Of il brought into use. The lands y
between Haw River and 1.-The Caiawha, s.
