NORTH CAROLINA RAIL ROAD. The contractors
for erecting the several buildings forming the Depot
in Raleigh are busy engaged in their construction.
They complain of the difficulty Of procuring suf.
fcient number of competent hands, though they are
willing to give the highest wages The walls of the
large brick warehouse rising slowly, and Messrs
Lenahan and MCGOWAN have commenced laying the
foundation for the engine house. The building con-
tanning the tank and pump for water station is just
flushed and the carpenters preparing the timber
for the warehouse dc The contractors for the road
make the complaint about the scarcity of labo-
rcrs, and their consequent inability to push the work
ahead as rapidly as they wish. Thirty-ive miles
between Raleigh and Godsborough are completed
leaving about fifteen miles nearest to Raleigh to be
finished. With the present number of hands the
road is progressing about one mile per week. but il
is expected with proper exertion to have all CON-
plete in running order by the latter part of August
West Of Raleigh there is three and half miles fin
ished and the work steadily progressing in that d.
rcctoR.
The "Ixion, the first of the new Locomotives,
built for this road, by Norris Son. of Philadelphia,
is at work conveying materials to different points on
the road. 1t is splendidly finished engine, of the
first class, and seems fully competent for any work
it may be required to perform. It is evidently in
tended for draught but far yet tried its capa-
city for speed is highly satisfactory are inform
ed it cost $4,000. smaller engine is expected from
the same mandatory this week. As far we have
an opportunity of seeing the road is carefully and
substantially built and gives fair promise of being
not only profitable to its stockholders, but proud
monument of the energy and enterprise of North
! Carolina.

We would respectfully inquire OF the Editor of
the Spirit of the Age if he knows whether the Philip
S. White. Esq, of Philadelphia" who participated
last week in the Massachusetts, State Temperance
Convention, held at Lowell is the Philip S. White
who has been lecturing in this State.
Standard
We have seen account of the proceedings of
the " Massachusetts, Temperance Convention, held
at Lowell" therefore do not know whether " Philip
s. White, Esq. of Philadelphia" participated" in
such meeting or not. We know of but gen.
tleman however, bearing that maine and hang
from that location, and he is the "who has besn
inquire of the Editor of the Standard, why he asks
the question
We asked the question because the Convention at
Lowell was composed mainly of Aboltionists and
revers of Southern institutions The Beechers
were there, and the Hon. Samuel Hoar, noted Alb
otionist presided. The Rev. Mr.. Peck, of Maine,
said:
"He stated further that there will be a union of
anti-Nebraska, anti-Fugitive Slave Law and Temp
erance men in Maine, and predicted that Neal Dow
will be the next Mayor Of Portland and AmaSa p
Merrill the next Governor of Maine. He said no fu-
gitive slave could be taken from Maine Their prn-
cipes obedience to the Prohbtory Liquor Law
of Mane and obedience to the Fugitive Slave Law"
The Reporter for the New York Tribune, from
which we gather these facts, says
During all the discussions of the Convention in
deSd, every expression Of interest and sympathy
with the canse of freedom and of abhorrence of the
Fugitive Slave Law and the Nebraska iniquity, (and
there were many such,) received with universal
and earnest demonstrations of appreciation and SYM
pathy."
We find in the report the following notice
of Mr.. White:
"The evening session was attended by an i'm
mense assembly Of people, and Philip S. White Esq.
of Philadelphia was introduced to them His speech
occupied over an hour in delivery and was strong
and eloquent plea for Temperance and the policy,
cxpediency and business of prohibitory legislation
| on the subject"
| Mr.. White it seems, stood by and gave his assent
to these d"nunciatons of shareholders and Southern
institute ms. He did not rebuke these rreasuua,v
expressions of adherence of law passed in pursu-
ance of plain provision Of the Constitution, but
contented himself with speech in favor of the
Maine law.
This man has been paid-four hundred dollars per
month"; we Oelieve-by shareholders to lecture on
Temperance; and now, it seems, having settled in
free Stats, he goes into Convention with tho bitter
| est and most unscrupulous Of our enemies, makes
speeches for them and listens unmoved to their de-
nuncations of our institutions and Of the Consttu
ton of the United States. We are not disposed tc
censure the friends of prohibition in this State fol
their former connection with Mr.. White; our objec
is to give warning for the future. Let him remain
where he is and let those whose business it is tc
employ persons to lecture on temperance, be moro
careful for the future.
