HOUSE OF COMMONS.

mendment oHered Dy Mf saunders, OF wake anu
the amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Dobbin, of Cumberland, offered an amend
ment providing that with the money appropriated
by this act the lock and dam at Gross creek shall
be first built, then the lock and dam at Jones' falls,
and so on up the river.
Mr. Dobbin spoke at some length in favor of the
bill with his amendment He did not think this
an enterprise on which the friends and opponents
of internal Improvements should be divided. The
work was now in condition which prevented all
navigation of the river He stated that over
100000 worth of timber. turpentine, &C., had
been annually foated down the river and this nav
igation had been stopped.
Mr. Fagg, of Buncombe, spoke against the bill
as sectional and calculated to benefit only few,
and complained that no appropriations could be
obtained for Improvements in the Western part OF
the State.
The business was here suspended and message
from the Senate read and concurred IN to vote
for u. S. Senator to-day at liz o'clock.
The regular business was resumed and Mr.. Smith,
of Halifax, spoke in opposition to Mr.. Dobbin's
amendment.
Mr. Cherry regretted that the House had not an
estimate on which it would rely Of what amount
would be sufficient to complete the work. He had
his doubts and misgivings, but under the belief
that the appropriation now asked for would be suf
fcent he should probably cast his vote for the bill
bill.
Mr. Dobbin slightly modified his amendment,
and it was adopted.

corporate the North Carolina and Tennessee rail-
road company, but soon after withdrew it and
moved to postpone the bill under consideration I'M
