The products of The coast. and thus re-,

ing way trade will spring up. which tho
history Al railroads show, is The most
profitable business; indeed. that il is The
only business that pays. Then there is
the enierprising and flourishing Town Of
Wilmington which may be regarded as
The eastern terminus Of The road, with her

mcrce. giving her The ability 10 supply
the wants Of The producers and creating a
constant demand for their productions,
and The markets Of Virginia thrown open
by The Raleigh and CASTOR Rail Road,

tonnage and business To the road as 10

But. if we were permitted 10 look abroad,
we could with quite as much plansibllly
OF argument as we see urged every day,
in connection with other schemes, place
this one also in communication with
Memphis, which seems 10 be regarded BY
many a. point on The great high way
10 the Pacific, and we could then without
any very great stretch Of The imagination,
extend this road to Beaufort, and fancy
her safe and secure harbour crowded with
shipping from all parts of The world
Such speculalions would probably moi be
considered rational, though far within The
bounds Of The visions which ill the mind
Of the projectors of Rail Roads possess
ing nothing like the probabilities Of &C.
accomplishment as would seem TO attend
The very reasonable project Of extending
The North Carolina Road into Tennessee
and down 10 Beaufort.
