Letters were read from Ex-Govefnors Morehead and
Graham, the Hon. Weldon N. Edwards, Ex-Gov.

letter that Orange proper will probably furnish ter

with the utmost confidence of eight. This has M
reference to Alamance. That County, we SHOULD
think, will do as well as old Orange.
The Goldsborough Telegraph says:

thusiastic Rail Road meeting on the 5th instant, al
Wilmington 1t was great day for the friends Of
Internal Improvement Gen. Saunders, Eli Hall,
George S. Stevenson, Thomas H. Williams, Esqs.,
and Gen. Harlee, from South Carolina, addressed the
meeting successively, amid deafening applause"
It was not expected that Wilmington would do
much for the Central Road, her citizens are now
sranng every nerve to raise 100000 to ensure the
success of the Manchester Road. Wilmington has
a big soul, and would help the Central Road materi-
ally, if she could. She will do all she can howev-
er; and the friends Of the work would no doubt be
gratifed to other portions Of the country, even
on the proposed line, doing as well.
We learn from the Commercial that $50, 900 have
already been raised by the Committee to make up
what is required for the Manchester Road and that
the Committee have no doubt of raising the remain
ing $4,000 in the course of day or so.
Gov. Morehead and Messrs. Graves and Gilmer
have been attending the Conventions appointed in the
Counties west of Greensborough along the line of
the contemplated Road. Their first appointment was
at Union Institute, Randolph, D. w. C. johnson,
Esq. in the Chair, and B. Craven, Secretary. At
this meeting one share was made up. They next
went forward 10 Salisbury and Concord. In David
son four shares of the hundred have been taken
in Rowan four more and in Cabanus four more. with
a prospect of another share. These gentlemen were
to speak at Clemonsville Davidson, on Monday last.
+" Too much praise" says the Patriot IS cannot be
awarded to Mr.. Graves for his laborious and dsin-
tesested efforts in this great work. He deserves even
more than our own cherished feow-citizens of Gull
ford, Morehead and Gilmer, for he has no personal
interest his labors purely pro bono publico."

pontment either, have been exercised orattempt-
ed that he further inform the Senate under and bv
virtue of what authority of law the same has been
done or the right claimed.
This searching Resolution was opposed bv Messrs.
Dawson and Phelps, on the ground that it was
unconstitutional, and moreover an attack on the
President of the United States''; and it was adyo-
Gated in able and conclusive manner by Mr. Dick
inson. Mr.. Seward also advocated the Resolution.
MI. Dickinson said there were one or two reasons
why this information could not be asked of the Pre-
sident of the United States. In the first place. it
was generally understood that he leaves all these
matters TO the cabinet. Another reason was that the
Executive knows nothing, from the very nature of

Mr.. King said the custom heretofore had been to
call on the President for such information.
Mr.. Dawson said the statement that the Pesident
