may have been selected y; and in reply to Col.
McNeil, of Robson, on Monday last, Gen Saun-
dcrs said he wouldvote noaO for such distribution
or deposte. The government it is true, is in debt
some sixty millions of dollars but Gen Saunders
thinks this debt soon be discharged, and that
the government will not, therefore, need these pro-
ceeds for the current expenses. But why not re-
tain them to meet in part, these expenses and re-
duce the tariff-taxes in proportion? Why tax the
people with one hand and distribute money to them
with the other .-.-
But suppose this deposite should be made, as
proposed by Gen. Saunders, and the money. invest
ed in Railroad stocks, and the government should
call for it-what then? Why, it to be return
ed, whenever called for, in such stocks as may nave
been selected -; and suppose the Federal govern
ment should be paid in Railroad stocks, a0'aed not
that government thereby become the gunner Of the

There are other points involved in this question
which we should like to notice, but lack of space
prevents us from doing SO. Wemay have more to
saw hereafter Meantime it is but proper in itself
and but Just to Gen. Saunders to add, that we are
seeking no controversy with him, nor with any one
else. We have only uttered our honest thoughts
we have but reiterated Democratic princi Piles as
we understand them, and by those principles, hap
pen what may, we expect to stand. Men die, but
principles are immortal.

NORTH CAROLINA RAIL ROAD.


The Directors of this company adjourned on Fri
day last. to meet again in this city the 9th Of De-
cember.
We are informed that the instalmens called for
previously to the present meeting, amounted the
sum of five hundred thousand dollars, of which in
dividual Stockholders have paid in about the of
four hundred and fifty-ive thousand, leaving only
forty-five thousand dollars Whereabouts yet to be
paid in.
The Directors have called for another instalment
of ten per cent, and resolved take immediate and
efficient steps collect from the delinquent Stock
holders.
In July last, the Stockholders in general meeting
instructed the Directors to proceed to collect from
Stockholders, who should remain in arrears for thirty
days from that time the instalmens called for, agree
ably TO the provisions of the charter and in each
to exact interest on all payments delayed.
The Directors passed resolution, that they would
proceed to sell in the pointed by the
should fail to pay up their nstalments already due,
within ten days.
The payment of interest on deferred instruments
being much complained Of the Directors passed
olution that delinquent subscribers might pay the
principal suspendng the payment of the interest due
until the next general meeting of the Stockholders.
From what we learn individual Stockholders will
have paid in their five hundred thousand dollars by
the 9th of December.
The faithfulness, industry, and efficiency with
which the gentlemen having this great ork in charge,
have conducted its affairs, entitle them to all praise
We venture the opinion that in no similar work in
persons,) has more prompliude in payments ever
been observed On call of half a million of dol
lars, for all to be promptly paid but forty five thou
sand dollars, we conceive to be unusual.
The energy, industry, and indomitatble persever-
ance Of our Western friends manifested in the man
agement and prosecution of this great State improve
ment, throughout, increases anxiety to be more
closely allied to them, and to have the two extremes
of the State united at the earliest day possible.
We are happy to learn that half the grading on the
entire line is already completed-hat the Bridges are
under contract and being constructed, and that the
work, upon the whole. SO far, has been done for less
than the original estimates of the Chief Engineer.
...e Register.
We learn that A. T. Jenkins, Esq, of Newbern,
rendered his resignation as a Director, which was
accepted, and John D. Whitford, Esq, was chosen
to fill the vacancy. The difficulty between the
Company and the Newbern interest with reference
to the Eastern terminus referred for settlement
to Maj Gwinn, and Col W. B: Thompson
&c Col. Jefferson Davis, who has been in very
bad health, is recovering.
