North Carolina Central Railroad.


We mentioned, yesterday, that at convention of
subscribers held Hsboroueh on the 9th ult was
ascerained and declared that the whole amount of pr
vate subscription necessary the charter of the
North Carolina Central Railroad Company had been
secured. At the opening Of the Convention it was
found as we learn from the Raleigh Register
"That upwards of $lso,OoO worth of stock still re-
manned unsubscribed for. In previous calculations as
to the probable deficiency the fact was overlooked that
those who entered into the Hundred agreement
merged, oil course, any prior positive subscriptions they
had made-and hence the estimating it at about
100000 Petersburg, Wilmington and Newbern we
taken by Ex-Governor Morehead, George W. Morde-
cal, Paul Cameron, and other gentlemen, whose Names
yet, have had no opportunity of asceraining.-
The stock was then declared fully subscribed"
pom the receipt OF the news OF the joyful result
the deliberations Of the Convention, in this city, adds
the Register Saturday last eu de joie of 100 guns
was fired. AT light, as many more were discharged
and large number OF our citizens, preceded by music
marched in procession to the respective residences OF
Gen. Saunders, Judge Cameron, Gov. Manly, Mr. Boy
Ian, and Maj Hinton, and congratulated in brief
and feeling addresses, by the three first named gentle
men, The interchange OF congratulations between all
classes and parties was hearty and frequent"
The mode, which was successfully devised to obtain
the private subscription of million Of dollars for this
important enterprise, is peculiar, and deserves conside
ration in Virginia AT Convention of the friends of
the scheme held, we think at Salisbury the plan was
adopted, of dividing all the stock not then subscribed
for hundred shares and gentlemen of influence
came forward and became subscribers to these shares
They were all soon taken, with promptness which
was ittngly followed up by the final and very liberal
contributions at Hlsborough The commissioners state
that the raeabe subscription of each of the hundred
subscribers will be $4,000.

----------- For THE TINES
INFOR NATION WANTED

Messrs Edtors-I want to know for whom Mr. T.
F. August voted for Congress at the election in 1S45
for Mr.. Charles Carter Lee in 1892 shall expect one
OF his friends to give and the voters OF Richmond
the desired information.
One word to the friends OF Messrs. James E. Heath
and James G. Crane. Would it not be better for YOU
to have meeting, at some early day. at the African
Church, to determine which Of the two shall be the
candidate OF the Wings! They are both Wings, good
and true and either would do credit to the city if elect
ed In order to this, let have meeting, and
see which is the stronger. Of do not expect
the friends of Mr.. August will submit his name to
meeting of the Wings Of Richmond. A convention OF
all Wings would not do for them last year. and do not
expect II will answer them now. JACKSON.

independent" the Washington writer for the Pha-
delphia N orth American, sustaus the policy recon-
mended by the President but thinks it liable to the OBJ
ecton that leaving the Territories without governments
would be perpetuate the dssension on the slavery
question. He suggests therefore, another resort which
he states as follows:
'That plan is to admit California as State with the
present limits, and to incorporate in the bill pro-
vision for the establishment of territorial governments
over the remaining portion OF the territory, with clause
containing declaration and guaranty the people OF
the several territories of the right OF self government
when admitted as States: that to say, that when they
shall present themselves for admission as States,
each Of them, provided their Constitution republican
in its character should be admitted into the Onion on
an equal footing with the original States. regulating
their domestic Institutions to them shall seem most
proper.
"If Southern gentlemen desire settlement here is
mode OF adjusting the issue If the North is confident
has always been claimed, and every law OF nature
decrees that slavery cannot exist in the acquired terri
tory, what has il to lose} Let cav about abstrac
tions split hairs when the Union is the point in
troversy."
This plan would leave the Texas boundary difficulty
unsettled, and is, in that respect, objectionable. Mr.
Bells proposition by the expedient of dividing Texas,
avoids this objection, whilst it accompishes all that"In

READING ROOM

Messrs Editors We have what has been long
wanted in Richmond, conveniently located and well
conducted Reading Room. For this we are indebted
to the enterprise and good taste of Mr. LEWIS HILL,
and trust he may be well compensated for it He is
business man, and polite and oblgng gentleman 1t
is gratifying reflection too that though he is perse
venng man, he is blessed with good degree of pa
tence-so that may hope that though her citizens
may be tardy in giving him that support and encour-
agemen which is indispensable to the maintenance of
his enterprise, he will not hastily abandon it, but will
continue as long there is ray of hope left that the
citizens will show to him that they appreciate properly
the importance OF public reading room But, | trust
Messrs Editors that there is too much public spirit and
intelligence among business and professional men
to subject him to trial of this kind we'll supplied
and we'll conducted reading room is a public benefit,
which no city OF any commercial pretensons should be
without. Rather than be put to the blush when asked
tor his reading room, every gentleman (gnerchant
what mott ought to be subscriber, that he might take
his soourning friend country customer thther, to
consult the journals there spread from all sections of
le Union, relative to matters interesting them. Mr..
Hill offers us decidedly the best reading room ever
tabshed in this city, and canno be persuaded that we
will long permit him to struggle with limited list of
subscribers. Its not only matter OF personal conve-
nience and advantage to all business men, but it is due
to the reputation Of Richmond that this enterprise
should be generously sustained for any gentleman
who will call and see it, would feel that to allow it to
linger and finally die, would be public shame.

Mr. Richie, of the Union advises Congress either to
extend the Missouri Compromise over the Territories
acquired from Mexico, or to adopt the following propo-
sons:
California admitted with suitable limited boundaries
Deseret New Mexico, &c, organized with wise terri
oral governments without any restriction as to the dark
but leaving the people Of those Territories, when they
are forming State constitution TO be admitted into the
Union to decide their destiny, their institutions
for themselves grant Texas the boundaries which she
claims and to which she is entitled with provision
with her consent to erect another slave State out of
part Of her Territories, upon the same principle with
which she herself came into the Union abolish the slave
trade in the District but touch slavery within it, and
carry out the guaranty of the constitution, by enactng
the efficient laws for the restitution Of fugitive
slaves"
