RALEIGH AND GAsroN AND ROANOKE VALLEY RAIL.
RoADs-Mr James NJ. Bullock was recently deput-
ed by the Directors of the Roanoke Valley Railroad,
to attend meeting of the Directory of the Raleigh
and CASTOR Road, for the purpose of presenting our
claims upon that Company Tor their assistance in
building Depot at the junction, and to represent
our company in any other matter, which might come
up for discussion. 1t is gratifying to us to inform
our friends that Mr.. BIS. mission was completely
successful He secured the passage of a resolution
authorisng the construction Of depot at the point
desired under the joint superintendent OF the Pres
idents of the two Companies, each company to bear
an equal share of the cost Of construction. More
than this, he succeeded in convincing the Directors
of that Company that they might very properly,
and without any detriment to their interests,
paw over to us a part of the earnings of our road
during the past year. This they consented to do,
so that we may rely Immediately getting such
funds as will meet urgent demands.
We are pleased to learn through Mr.. Bullock,
that the Raleigh and CASTOR Directory, indicated,
both by profession and action, purpose to pursue
liberal and generous policy towards our company.
We arc convinced from all we have seen and heard
of Mr. Hamilton, the President, that he, particularly,
is inclined extend to every aid and courtesy in
his power. Such indeed is the dictate OF good sense
the prompting of an enlightened self.interest.
The two companies are rcciprocally dependent,
one upon the other. 1t Is true the dependence in
the two is unequal in degree, but still is re-
ciprocal. AS the body may exist without the limb,
so may they without us. But when they lose US
they lose a very important member. The products
of the Roanoke and Dan River Valleys are not to
be discarded as an insignificant item Of business
One of the most magnificent railroad enterprises
of Virginia, yea of the South, derives very flood
tide of trade from this same source. cold inditf-
erence on the part of those. who ought to be our
friends, might drive to seek alliances with rivals
or enemies. No feuds so bitter, so relentless,
so ruinous as family quarrels.
We hope these moral truths may never have
any practical application to the relations of our com
pany with the Raleigh and CASTOR company. The
recent action of their directory authorises US to in
dulge such hope. We united in interest," we
ought to be in feeling and in action.
We take this occasion to express our high graf
iication at the recent reelection of Mr.. James M.
Bullock to the position of Director of our road His
success in his late mission to Raleigh, while it is an
evidence of his efficiency and usefulness as an OH
cer likewise demonstrates the wisdom Of the Stock.

SPEECH OF Hon. ASA BIGGs.-We have read with
deep interest the speech delivered in the Senate of
the United States, the 30th of April, on the Naval
Retiring Board by the Hon. Asa Bggs, of North
Carolina which we find in the Washington Union.
Like every thing that proceeds from Mr.. Biggs, the
argument is clear and convincing, the facts well ar
ranged and the sentiments sound and patriotic Its
author is firm and consistent Democrat of the old
school, thoroughly imbued with Democratic prin-
ciples which he expounds with ability and force
We have often thought that the remark said to have
been made OF the venerable and lamented Macon by
distinguished foreigner in Washington, that whilst
some men were Democrats from education, he (Mr
Mr. Bggs He discerns, as by intuition and in
stinctvely loves Democratic doctrines; and if at
any time should be found to disagree with him
in relation to fundamental questions, would feel
it our duty to review our opinions before making
up definite issue with him. We shall take occa-
sion soon to lay his entire speech before readers
