JONEsBoROUGH RAIL ROAD.

The report of the Legislative proceedings embrace
every item Of information at all m7orant. The bill
to charter bank to be located in Charlotte, has
passed the Senate and in the House has been referred
to the Judiciary Chmmttee. We hope the Charter
will be granted without hesitation. Banking capital
is much needed here-the rapid growth and great in
crease of commercial business make it necessary for
the accommodation and convenience of the communi.
~. Maj. Caldwell urged its passage with his usral
ability and has succeeded in getting 1t through the
Senate-its fate is now in the House.
The Legislature wiK we hope grant charter for
Road from this point to Jonesbofoegh-the build
ing of which is not only practicable but highly judi
cious. The friends of this enterprise do not ask the
State to appropriate one dime towards its construction,
although it will with the Stale Road here,
and penetrating it will the valley ofthe Tennessee
of the most fertile re gions the gobe it must
be beneficial to the State. II the State should wish
better connexion than the one from this point, she
can throw off branch intersecting It anywhere, even
at the foot Of the Blue Ridge. Let her make the
| connection between Goldsborough and Beaufort,
thereby building up seaport town in her border,
with capacous harbor and then take up the Jones'
borough road at some point the Tennessee line,
| and then she will bring her towns on the Atlantic in
direct competition with Charleston for this valuable
trade, and will thus give her citizens the benefit Of
| the most desirable markets.
The State should in its Legislation endeavor te
throw open the markets OF the world to her ctz
and by artificial means attempt to force trade in
an unnatural direction-trade like water will seek its
level and naturally flow where there is the greatest
demand and consequently the most advantageous
terms offered it.
If the Road is built as we have suggested-if Will
mngton or Beaufort will give more for the produc-
tions of this vast and fertile region than Charleston
will GO there, if not, they onght to be able nd

the Road should be built for the benefit of the agri-
culurst and not to produce monopoly fortke bene.

is only easible but it and will be built with
out costing the State cent--a we ask for then is

make aconnexion with it any point she pleases, be-
cause she will have the territorial jurisdiction Of
ly the whole line. Let Morganton build branch 10
connect with it at the most eligible point. and the
counties west OF her bnild plank roads which will
greatly facilitate their means Of transportation.
When the of the country become more full
ly developed, its agricultural productions larger and
more valuable, and its territory more lhicky settled,
then this line of Rail Road be extended through

LcUrs NAPOLEON AND THE PREss.-A
deputatioa, consisting Of some Of the princi'
pal editors of the moderate press, were. re.
ceived by the Presden, OF the Republic in
a private interview. which they had re-
quested for the purpose Of representing tLe
grievances to which they were exposed BY
the rigorous censorship under which the
newspapers hare been placed since the rev.
olution Of the I'd of December. The gen
tleman who headed the depntation, spoke
for fully half an hour, and concluded the
speech by expressing hope that the Pres
ident would give some moderate latitude to
the papers to comment upon passing events.
Louis Napoleon listened with great com-
posure and patience; but his only answer
was the following -.Gentlemen, the press
has already Destroyed two dyna.fies; | mny
fall like the others: but shall take care
that it shall no, be by the lress; and with
this he bowed them out.
