North Carolina Rail Road.
We learn from the Raleigh Register thai
meeting Of, The Board Of Directors Of tbs North
csiolina Rail Road Company was held In Lex
insion on Thursday the Isl instant. al which all
the Director were present. except Judge ssun-
den. Judge Ellis. CsI Cad. Jones. and A. 7.
jenkins. Esq. The Mount given Of the progress
Of the work. Is most cheering and snimaIing.
The contractors arc actively and efficiently at
work on this great improvement from one end to
the other; and no doubts are entertained Of its
speedy completion. All The business Of the Board
Was conducted harmaaionsly. Among other
things, tho Directors passed, unanimously, the
following resolutions:
WHEREAS, II is the honest purpose
Of this Board to have the Eastern ter
minus of the North Carolina Rail Road
located in conformity to the requisi.
tons Of the Charter,
Resoired. That the President of this
Board be required TO take the best legal
advice, aud. in case he shall be advised
that the present location is not in COM
pliancc with that part Of the charter
which directs the Road Ito extend
from the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail
Road, where the same passes over
Neusc River, in the County al Wayne,
ria. &C.. to Charlotte" that he cause
the Road to be extended to the precise
point designated in said Charter.
Resoired further. That the construc-
ton Of the track to Wavnesborough be
suspended until this question is salts
factorily settled, aud until the further
order Of this Beard.
We presume this action was had in ,conse-
quencc IT the dissatisfaction expressed BY the
stockholders in Ncwbem a. the change Of the To-
cation Of the road on its eastern terminus con-
tcmpIeicd by the Board at the meeting in this
place. We have never doubted that 1t was the
honest desire Of the Board to locate the Road as
as possible 10 conformity to the acquisitions
Of the charter, and to consult with impariaty al
the varying intereas connected with il, aud we
are glad 10 see that the Directors have taken the
course above indicated. II wrong would be done
to any interest b, Oh, contemplated change from
the first location it can be rcctified and at oil
events, this action manfests due consideration
Of the views and feelings Of the stockholders in
] Newlern, and we trust that the matter will be
50 adjusted as 10 give entire satisfaction TO all
concerned.
john Kerr, ESQ., Judging from
lihc frequent nominations Of this genticmaa for
| Governor. in the primary meetings in different
sections Of the State, We think there is much pro-
liability that he viii NC the choice Of the Wing
Convention which is to meet on the 18th instant /;
and more fearless, earnest, and able advocate
Of Wing principles perhaps could not be selected.
The Standard has not hccn unobseryant Of Mr..
Kcrr's popularity and, as il to take time by the
forelock, he has already opened his battery upon
him. He uses, however, the spent shot from q
Virginia editors locker, and he viii find, if Mr.
Kerr should accept the nomination and take the
stump, that his powder has been spent in vain.
Mr.. Kerr canno, be injured by such assaults ;
and IL the Standard is alarmed already at the
mere prospect Of his nomination, how will he be
when Nc. Kerr takes the field and begins to ply
him and his patty with the sword Of truth, which
he ielJs with the skill Of master!
Gen. DOCkery.-1he name Of General
Dockcry having been spoken If as among the
prominent citizens who would be brought to the
notice Of the State Convention for asaainatiou a.
the Wing candidate for Governor, the Wadesbo-
rough Argus thinks it proper that his feelings on
the subject should be distinctly understood, and
says that ..Gen. Dockery could not scccpt the
nomination IL il were rendered to him. This
will be regretted by many Of his party through
out the State, who have admired him as an ar
dent and true Wing, and who would be pleased
10 reward his long and faithful psblic services by
clevaling him to the high aud honorable office Of
luvcaor vt the State.
