MEAN. We think it was in the Fay etteville Argus
that we recently saw it stated that Mr.. Bragg was
about to break down, coupled with the wonder that
with two horse carriage and servant he could not
keep up with Gen. Dockery in one horse buggy.
What will the people think of such contemplate
means of making capital for Gen. Dockery, especial
y when it is all Jatse? We wish Mr.. Bragg did
have carriage and servant at present. but instead
of this he only has horse buggy, and this he
drives himself fit will crafty the Argus man,
however, we can state that Mr.. B. drives very
good horse
In the desperation of that hopeessness which
obliterates truth, honor and decency, portion of
the federal press of this State has endeayored to
create the impression that Mr.. Bragg is aristo-
crat. He needs only to be seen to give the lie to
such a charge. Republican Banner.

NORTH CAROLINA RAIL ROAD. The contractors
for erecting the several buildings forming the Depot
in Raleigh busily engaged in their construction.
They complain of the difficulty of procuring suf-
ficient number of competent hands, though they
willing 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
tanning the tank and pump for water station is just
finished and the carpenters preparing the timber
for the warehouse dc. The contractors for the road
make the same complaint about the scarcity of abo-
rers and their consequent inability to push the work
ahead as rapidly as they wish. Thirty five miles
leaving about fifteen miles to Raleigh to be
finished. With the present number of hands the
road is progressing about one mile per week, but it
is expected with proper exertion to have all COM
plete in running order by the latter part of August
West of Raleigh there is three and half miles fin
ishe and the work steadily progressing in that di
rection.
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
irst class, and seems fully competent for any work
it may be required to perform. 1t is evidently in
tended for draught, but far yet tried its capa
city for speed is highly satisfactory are inform
ed it cost 50 OOO 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
