ings. The Raleigh IN. CO. Register, in copying
our notice, saya:
1--WE can add to this the green rose Of North Ca
rolina which, though not the creature of eciencc,
IS sufficiently well known in parts of this State to
claim rank among the above floral novelties The
rose is identical with our common daily, except in
color, the variation in which is supposed to have
been produced by the accidental intermingling of
the roots of the rosetree with those of the common
sumach. The peculiarties of the new varieties are
perpetuated by cuttings otherwise. 1t is quite
common in the county of Blsden, and some few
specimens exist in the town of Fayetteville"

NoRTHwEsrERN VIRGINIA RAILRoAD.-The fol-
lowing letter announces the subscription TO the
stock of this road of an amount sufficient to secure
the charter authorizing its construction:
GAZETTE OFFICE, PARKERsBURG, VA,
sJuly 10, 1851.
"GHNTLEMnN: One hundred and sixty thousand
dollars (S l60,000) have been subscribed TO the
capital stock OF the Northwestern Virginia Rail-
road Company in this place. In this amount in
clude the subscription of fifty thousand dollars by
the corporation Of Parkcrsburg Little or nothing
has been subscribed in the neighboring counties.
Our books will close to- morrow. Charter secured.
"Respectfuly, A. M. STERRETT."
The charter being thus secured, the next step to
be taken is the opening of the subscription books
in Baltimore. and the subsequent organization of
the company. The belief is very generally ex-
pressed by the Pittsburg press that the Hcmpfeld
railroad will be built, now that it has been taken
up by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
the mercantile interests of Philadelphia. In our
opinion. much depends upon the manner in which
the Parkersburg railroad project is treated here.
If this latter work is taken up by this community
with hearty good will and prosecuted with becom-
ing vigor, we think that the movement will pre-
vent the investment of the requisite capital in the
Henpfeld road; but even should il be otherwise,
Baltimore will be able to compete successfully with
her rival for the immense trade and travel which
must pass over the Straight Line Railroad between
st. Louis, Cincinnati, and tho Southwest, and
tho central eastern seaboard Baltimore Amsriean.
