We think that if our friend of the Richmond Dis
patch had been citizen of North Carolina pend
ing the passage of the bill chartering the Central
Road and pledging the State for two-thirds of its
stock. he would have no difficulty in understanding
our position in regard to it, and opposition to a
connection between it and the Richmond and Dan
vile Road. The friends of the Charlotte and Dam
vile project came before the same Legislature which
chartered the Central Rail Road, and asked for a
naked charter. We were resident of the Western
part of the State at that time, and took conside-
rable interest in the matter and we know that
nothing more was expected nor would have been
asked for, and we believe that the road would have
been built without calling upon the State for assist
ance even to the amount of cent. Against this
project it was urged that it would carry everything
out of the State-to Virginia on the North and S.
Carolina on the South and the Old North State was
pictured under the simlitude of giant lying upon
his back with his stretched out and being bled
from both. The Danville and Charlotte men con-
tended, with truth that the Western part of the
State had right to some outlet, and they must
either have the one proposed by them some SUBJ
sttute for it. The substitute proposed and adopted
was the Central Road. 1t proposed, adopted and
tne S'te ihdue party To tIor aFoweo
purpose of defeating and rendering unnecessary the
Danville connection; and certainly the Legislature
must have felt strongly upon the subject when they
gave two millions of dollars for the Central Road to
avoid Danville connection, when they could have
had such connexon for nothing We think the Dis
patch will see in all this sufficient for our SEN
stiveness upon this subject, without imputing us
any unworthy jealousy, any Japanese spirit of
clusiveness 1t does not require that should point
out to the Dispatch the difference of the circum-
stances under which the connection of other North
Carolina and Virginia roads is made, from those
which surround the connection between our Central
and the Virginia, Richmond and Danville Roads
they will be apparent at half glance.

thorough survey and examination, made with direct

Messrs. McKinnie & King exhibited on Market

the Messrs. Ashfords of Sampson county. We are
satisfied they decidedly the best beeves ever
brought to this market. The nine head: two of them

8 cents per h. all round, for the nett beef. The
Ashfords for the past two three years. have made
the fatenng of beeves for this market part Of their
business and have several before brought
in the most choice article but this time they have
capped the climax and exceled all their former lots
They find it profitable business to bring none to

they never find any difficulty in obtaining the high

Gen. Lane Oh Slavery.

AS the name of Gen. Lane frequently occurs in
connection with the Presidential nomination, and
many of readers may desire to know his views
upon the Compromise, &C., we have thought it right
to publish them as we find them reported p the In
diana State Sentinel, in speech delivered at Indian
apolis last fall in reply to the Governor of Indiana
who there received him on his way to Washington
City:
He would not and did not permit himself to
doubt that high sense of patriotism and love of
Union, would bring together the practical men of
both of the great political parties and that COM
promise would be made fair just and constitu-
tiona basis. His hopes. he said, had been truly
allied. On his return the olive branch and the bow
of promise visible in every portion of the Union
and it truly gratifying 10 him to know that the
voice of Indiana during this struggle, had been heard
on the side of the Union. and her political power
mainly given in support of the compromise measures
He was proud to know that the Senators and most
of the Representatives from Indiana gave these
sures cordial support and more than gratifed to
find that since the passage of these measures, the
great body of the people of Indiana have given an
unmistakable evidence of their approval of them
and their determination to abide by the compromises
of the Constitution. If time and the state of his
health permitted he said he should be willing to am.
plify this subject but the hour and the occasion
admonished him to be brief He should therefore
content himself with the general remark, that the
compromise measures, each and every one of them
met his cordial approval, and had he been mem
Der of Congress- he should have voted for all of them
including the fugitive slave law, which was meas
absolutely necessary to carry out of the
promise features of the Constitution. They al
right but this ,ras the best of oil. The
slavery question, he said, was always a dangerous
and exciting one, and he had always been opposed
to the agitation of it. The people Of the free State
had nothing to do .rtth it, they should leave it
where it is, and where the Constitution has left it
and it could never be agi:ated without endangcrine
the integrity of the Union. He was he said, a Unior
man, and to preserve the Union the Constitution
must be carried out in its letter and its spirit pot
cally, he recognized law above the Constitution
He hoped every citizen of Indiana would be fount
supporting these measures. and frowning on ever,
attempt further to agitate the slavery question:
