FAYETTEVILLE PLANK ROAD.


The Fayetteville Observer thus notices the Re-
ports of the President and Directors and the condition
and prospects of this Road:
FAYErTEvILLE AND w. PLANK ROAD. ehave
received the second and third annual reports of the
President and Directors Of the Fayetteville and Wes
tern Plank Road Company, made to the Stockholders
at the annual meeting, April 10, 1851, and April 8,
1859.
The following extract from the report of the Pres-
den, Mr. Edward Lee Winslow, gives the state of
the affairs of the Company in few words:
We have paid the State of North Carolina two
dividends her stock up to the first day of April,
amounting s., 6OO and she will be entitled re-
ceive $4,000 of the dividend declared payable the
18th inst, which will make the sum of $1,000 90
The State has paid by way of interest
on the Bonds issued for the payment of
her stock in this Company, 6,285 rs
By the judicious management of the
Public Treasurer, he has received in the
Treasury, by the way of premiums on the
sale of the Bonds. 1,136 IL
Thus showing profit to the State of 2,647 81
up TO this time on her investment in this road.
The State has reason, thus far, to regret her
partnership in the Fayetteville and Western Plank
Road Company; and the hope may be INDUCED, tina t
she will find it good policy to continue her aid to
these roads, well adapted to the wants and condi-
lion of her people, while think also that those in
terested in Plank Roads have TO be cheered
and stimulated in their efforts extend the system
In conclusion, the President and Directors think
they have gook grounds to congratulate the Stock
holders of this road the success, thus far, OF their
road, its present condition and future prospects,.

snly reason Ne can give for u is that both parties
we're toe much engaged to waste their time IN
shouting and Sighting
The Sixth ward which has heretofore commonly
been the scene Of rist ami fighting, presented yes
terday very interesting spectacle There were, OF
course, many broken heads and broken noses. bat
certainly not so many as On Thanksgiving or New
Years Day. Ose or two little disturbances occurred
which were easily suppressed, and the rioters
we've d to the Tombs A little affair occurred in
Walker street, which ended in similar manner.
At ore time fears were entertained that there
would be collision between the persisans of Walsh
and Patrick Kelly, but the vigilance of the police
prevented any disturbance.
In tho Frat ward there were a number of bloody
noses, but the police interfered and conveyed sew
ernl OF the c0meatants to the station house.
Inthe Tenth and Fourteenth wards the disturb
were somewhat serious. The friends of Mike Walsh,
theregular democratic candidate fer Congress, and
Kelly opposed each other strongly, and in SEINE dis
rcts, the boxes Of the vote distributors were smash
ed in pieces.
In the Second district Of the Second ward WIN.
Kelly was conveyed to the Tsnbs for fraudulent
ting, end Samuel Espie of the Second ward for the
like offence in the Third ward. John NJ urtaugh was
arrested by officer N'Kinny, and taken to tho sta.

false prejudices and mistaken notions have contri-

into custody, and on the way to the
Station House, was asked if he had
not in his possession bill of exchange
tor $1,000, and also tickets to leave on

and the oil cloth covering it, while the
bill OF exchange for $1,000, drawn by

order Of Wm. Baxter, was found sewed
up in his inside coat, between the
back and the padding. Mr.. Robin
