On the Revenue and Prospects of the
North Carolina Rail Road.

In forming an estimate of the probable
revenue Of a projected Rail Road. much
difficulty exists in obtaining some fouula.
lion upon which 10 build our corporations.
To The practical man, the reasoning from
operations whirh are actually going on up
on roads, similarly situated, with the one
proposed. will give the most satisfactory
comparisun.
The proportion which exists between
the value Of the products Of the country
through which The Rail Road passes and
its revenue-which products are the
source from whence the revenue must be
drawn-otl'ers the best mode Of judging
Of the probable value of that revenue. For
this purpose have prepared fr,m the ope-
ration Of the South Carolina and Georgia
Rail Roads, a proportion Of The kind de-
sired. and BY applying il with certain mo-
dificalions 10 our work, be obtaining the
only rational results TO be expected. TAX

thirty miles Of The line. is i5s. 40 persons,

freight revenue on these roads. then, is

These ads from their position will
compare very we'll with those of North
Carolina. being very nearly of the same
length, and passing through similar conn-
try. On roads which have not cotton for
their principal freight. these amounts are
reduced thirty per cent. Our road will
carry great deal of cuiion, hu, we will
reduce the amounts 20 per cent. and we
would then have fnr revenue for each
white person 1913 cts. and for freight 2l
per cent. on all produce.
Estimating in the manner given above,
we have the following counties and parts

have no intention or desire to do me injustice in

lrcd with the arguments Of other persons.
The question whether Congress had not greater
Iwcr over those territories acquired by treaty
an over the original territory OF the Union, was
scusscd at great length; and the ground was
ken by Mr.. CAss, that Congress had no greater
aim to unlimited jurisdiction in that case than in
e other. The powers given by the Constitution
ere precise and could not be extended, and where
e power was not given directly it could not be
hpIied. The authority of Vattcl and other writers

ents over acquired territories, could not be ap-
lied 10 this government, which derived all the
