THE CENTRAL ROAD.

We promised last week to give more particular
account of the change made in the location of the
Eastern terminus of this Road the last meeting of
the Directors We understand the road Ii t.
tie River about four hundred yards above the point
first designated it then down the river parallel
TO the route passes the limits of WaYnes
borough at the distance of four hundred yards from
the river, and then connects with the Wilmington
Road at the South Of Godsborough. MIR. McRae.
the contractor for this Division, informs that the
himself bound by the terms of his to build it,
Of that there is no doubt.
We learn also that the change was made agreeably
to the recommendation of Major Gwyn, but, we are
assured without any hostile views towards any Sec
ton interest. The Chief Engine of this Division,
Mr.. Provost, when the first survey made, was
instructed to the line to the river WaynesboIo
He did so, and reported line running down Little
River, which subsequent examination by Major
Gwyn, was found to be exposed to the freshets of
that and Neuse River, and that it would be imposs-
BILE to make embankment stand on that line. Hence
the necessity of slight aeratio n, which gives the
road firm track, and which, we think, does not, in
the least, affect the interest of Newberne.
The business of Rail Road is transacted in this
way If merchant at Greensborough, other
point has produce send to market, he first selects
his market, and then ships his produce. If produce
is directed to Newberne, it must be delivered by the
Rail Road at the warehouse in Waynesborough /; if
to Wilmington, at the warehouse in Godsborou Oh.
The remarks of the NeDbernian, this point,
conceive, are based upon misapprehension entirely
of the course of business a Rail Road. A man
who carries his produce to market in his own wagon
carry it where he pleases. Not so Rail
Road.
AS for the principal Depot, Machine shops, &C.,
being at Waynesborough, there never was any proba
bity of such thing. If it shall be determined to
at Goldsborough will be the proper place.
