BOARD OF INTERNAL IMPRovEMENTs.-The
Board of Internal Improvements held a meet
ing at the Executive Office, in this City, on
Wednesday last.
Owing to an informality in the Certificate
of the Commissioners of the Western North
Carolina Rail Road ~Company-the Certif-
cate not being under the seal, as required by
the Charter, of the Commissioners and on
this account the Board did not feel author
lied to make the States subscription of six
hundred thousand dollars. The Board will
meet again, however. on the Goth of this
month, by which time it is thought this
omission can be supplied and as the Coun-
Gil of State will meet at the same time, that
body, after the subscription shall have been
made, will no doubt proceed to appoint the
eight State Directors in the work, as provl-
ded in the charter.
We learn that the Board, having been sat
isfactorily assured, by a certificate under the
seal of the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail
Road Company, that the amount of stock
required by the Charter to be taken by lndl-
viduals, had been taken, subscribed on the
part of the State two-thirds of the stock Of
the Company, amounting to about one mil
lion of dollars-the said amount to be raised
by the State Treasurer as provided in the
charter.

IMmb&r g.


IT'S hard for the human heart to forgive
its enemies and lore them. The lips revolt
at uttcringtho penitent- Father torgirehem.,
1T is no earthly deed to forgive those who
have done you n wrong, The fact Is not
heraldcd in the papers as a matter of great
importance, it is not spoken Of at the fire.
sides-it does not make you famous among
men and yet to get the consent of your own
heart to forgive them, a great battle had to
be fought. The worst passions Of the human
heart rose up against the God-like spirit
Pride-reyenge cried out for its suppression.
Wounded love and cnmity cried out" an
eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" Why
should You forgive? Your enemy may have
been in violent passionwhenh wronged you
and an angry man knows not what he does
for his inner temple is yelled with a heavy
curtain hat nothing can rend. Forgive him
Your heart will be the lighter and better foI
it. 1t is a great moral triumph to feel tina
you do truly forgive your enemies; and il
your old age you will love to look back 10th,
day and the hour when you could first pray
-"Father, forgive them"
There is no joy like that of forgiveness
OF believe it and be happy. 1t is needfu
too that we cultivate a spirit of forgiveness
for we all err against Him who exhorted u
to 4" love our enemies" 4

Energy.

Shame on the poor spirit that sinks away
into ~inaction at the first obstacle! But three
times three for the man, who, when thrown
by misfortune, is up on his feet again in a
moment ready to wrestle with trouble. We
love to look upon such a man. When we see
the like of him we know that mountains can
be torn down, rocks rent, vallies filled up and
railroads buiIt. There is a stout resolution
in his dauntless spirit, and he struggles with
whatever opposes until he oyercomes. A
manof energy may be dashed amongthe surf
washed rocks-a wreck of his all may be in
prospect, yet he grasps, with a death-grasp,
the wheel, steers safely out and comes into
his desired port with flying colors. He is
ever ready for some grand achievement, the
contemplation of which would make craven
souls shrink back in fear.
Disappointment become as weapons Of
warfare in the hands of such men. Knock
every prop from under him except a good
conscience, and he will still battle on. De
stroy his hoQse-he will build another
Wreck his ships-he will have others afoat
in a trice.
The energetic man bears an unmistakablt
impress Of the God-like on his character
He is a goodly lever in the worlds great ma
chine. An important crank in the great en-
CINE of business. He is the backbone O
trade and commerce, and the right hand o
arts and science. Give us the man of ener
gy-commend us to him. We would Their,
were more in our midst. X

WILMINGTON AND RUTHERFORDTON O
The charter, it will be remembered, original
" provided for a Rail Road from some point
on the Wilmington Road to Charlotte but
before its passage it was amended, and pro-
vision made for ar extension from Charlotte
to RutherfOrdton.
The friends of this important enterprise
have been actively engaged, since the ad-
journment Of the Legislature, in raising
subscriptions so as to secure the Charter;
and we are g~ratifed to state that the charter
for the whole route has been, in all proba-
bility, by this time secured. We learn that
the Road has been located from Charlotte
by way Of Lincolnton to Rutherfordton-
distance ~seventy-six mics. Lincoln coun-
ty has subscribed S187 ,000-Gaston Sl15-
O00-Rutherford, sos, 000-and Cleaveland,
$4,000. The sum Of S166, 900 remained to
be raised to secure the charter for that
portion of the Road between Wilmington
and Charlotte ; and we think we have seen
it stated that the City Of Wilmington has
subscribed, or will subscribe that amount.
Richmond County, we learn, has subscribed
$780, 00.
This road is to run by Lincolnton, and the
North Carolina Western Road is to run
some fifteen miles north of that place.
We learn that John G. McRae, Esq, of
Wilmington, has been appointed Chief En-
gineer Of the Wilmington and Rutherford
Road. This is regarded as an excellent APP

through the influence of a sister. Another
excellent young man in other respects, has
almost given over dealing in the article, and
now that he has married in the family that
has effected this partial reformation, 1 have
no doubt he will abandon it altogether"
