Raleigh and CASTOR ROad.-An
adjourned meeting Of the citizens Of Petersburg.
on the subject Of the Raleigh and CASTOR Rail
Road, was held on Tuesday Of last week. BY
invitation, Gen. X. M. Saunders, Of Raleigh,
attended and addressed the meeting. We learn
from the Integenccr that Gen. s. spoke in his
usual earnest and impressive manner. He adj
vcrcJ to the immense trade which the town Of
Petersburg was now receiving from the Raleigh
and CASTOR Road, and the vast accession which
would be made TO il by the North Carolina Rail
Road, which would soon be put under contract,
and speedily completed. These and other views
were Urged by Gen. 5. with great force upon q
very large and attentive audience.
A resolution was adopted as the opinion Of the
meeting, that immediate steps should be taken to
raise sum Of not less than 100000; and
committee was appointed to wait upon the ciii'
zcns Of Petersburg and solicit subscriptions for
the purpose.
The subscription was forthwith opened, and
same 5000 subsc rbed. The hour being late,
The meeting then al journcd. The Intclligenccr
speaks encourayingly Of the .pirit which has been
aroused, and hopes in few days to sing out to
the Old North State, I" all right here-go ahead
there.
