RAILROAD COACHES.

Mr. John R. Harrison has recently erected a
shop upon the Western limits of this City, for the
purpose of constructing Coaches for Railroads. We
visited his establishment a few days since, and
were much pleased with his arrangements. He is
now engaged in building couple of Coaches for
the Raleigh and CASTOR Road. His timber appears
to be well seasoned and of the best kind, and his
workmen are steady and intelligent men. Mr..
Harrison is himself one of the most energetic and
useful of our mechanics, and, like true Captain,
he does not say to his forces, ego boys" but
" come boys" He works himself-he is not
ashamed to be seen with his coat off and mallet
in hand.
Mr.. Harrison's location is most favorable for his
business. His shop is within one hundred yards
of the connecting link between the two Roads,
and as his Coaches are finished he can roll them
right on to the track and give them any direction
he chooses.
We are gratiied at the promptness with which
President Branch has stepped forward to give him
work but this is but beginning, aud we trust
the other Roads will also extend to him their pat
ronage. 1t is one of our first duties as citizens and
as Southern men, to tand by oar oaOn mechanics
Let us give them substantial encouragement, as
the surest means of promoting our own conve-
nience, for keeping money at home, and for
building up a useful and meritorious class and at
the same time the prosperity of the entire commu-
nifty. Mr. Harrison, we learn, can turn out as good
Coaches can be obtained from the Northern
shops; and he is willing and able to work for the
same with the addition of the freight to his prices.
He deserves liberal encouragement.

Mr. Douglas then read from letter of Hon.

tutlonallty of such an averment. Why did
not the Senator arraign the late Secretary OF

as if he was the only man who expressed such
sentiments?
