CENTRAL RAILROAD.

The following gratifying information is from the
last Goldsborough Patriot:
..We have the qualification Of knowing that one
cargo of iron for the Central Rail Road has arrived
at Wilmington from Wales, and that one train load
has already been delivered at the junction of the Cen
trail and Wilmington road, short distance below
Goldsboro'. The rails are large and heavy, of. the
II pattern. and appear to be Of an excellent quality.
The Bridge over Little River, a mile from the junc-
ton is already raised. and will probably be compile
ted SO that the track can be laid across during the
present week. 1t is Burr Bridge, of single span.
$50 feet in length, and the track passes through it.
Seepers are already distributed on The road for seve
ra! miles. so that everything is in readiness 10 20
ahead. We presume we shall have the pleasure in
the course of a week or two of announcing the COM
mencement of the track-laying, which will be pushed
forward with energy as far as Neuse River Bridge,
distance of nearly twenty-five miles,"
This iron is for that part Of tie Road contracted

EE- The Richmond Examiner, noticing the Alb
clifton agitation, says:
In the midst Of this Uncle Tom clatter the price
of slaves has more than doubled. Soven years ago
We bad reason to be cognizant of the sale Of pow
erful young negro He sold for five hundred
dollars. On this day he would bring upon the same
spot not less than fifteen hundred. These facts show
how little importance the business world-the money
changers-Napoleon's seers-attach to Abolition.
We commend these facts to the editors of the Tr-
bune. They live in commercial community, and
know how quickly causes diminishing the security
of property, diminish also the market price,
1t is notorious fact that the movements of the
Abolitionists have not diminished the price of
slaves. On the contrary, the price has steadily
increased, and negroes are higher at this time than
they have been for years. The truth is, African
slavery will force its way to such soils and climates
as are adopted to slave labor; legislation may
check it for time, but mems interest will not only
ensure defence of the institution whenever seri-
ously menaced, but lead, by degrees, to the in
crease of its area
We learn that a citizen of the Western portion
of this State passed through this City few days
since, his way from California, with four or five
negro men, his slaves, who have been working for
their master for several years in the gold mines Of
that State. They labored five days in the week
for their master and one for themselves, and it is
said they have accumulated a snug sum from the
mines. They not only returned voluntarily, but
they were anxious to do So

Massachusetts who steadily resisted Freesol inau-
ences. he did this both on the stump among the
people, and in the Legislature of that State He
was bold and able defender of the fugitiye-slave
law before the Baltimore Convention met-he vo-
ted IN that body to approve and sustain that law.
and he is as true upon that issue as FRANK PIERCE
himself
So the charges of the Register against the Pre-
sldent and his Cabinet fall to the ground.
We expected such charges, and we are not,
therefore, surprised at them. They are, in every
respect worthy Of the paper which gave circula-
ton to the Foss and Fogg" ISLANDERS, and which
left no means untrcd to poison the minds of it
readers AGAINST Gen. Pierce, and that too, at the
very time he was confronting vile Abolitionists in
the free States for the benefit of his slaveholding
brethren of the South. But the Registers day is
over. No one will be deceived or misled by its
allegations or insinuaticns The confidence of the
people Of North Carolina in FRANKLIN PIERCE is
as fixed as fate. They voted for him at the polls,
and they will stand by him as long as he adheres
to the sentiments announced in his Inaugural, with
that firmness for which they are proverbial, and
which no partizan assaults can shake or even i'm
pair.
