JUDGE MCLEAN FOR BUCHANAN Cincinnati
Enquirer recently announced (says the Pennsylya-
nian) that Hon. John Mclean had declared himself
in favor of the election of MIR. Buchanan to the
Presidency. This announcement is fully confirmed
by the Daily Commercial, rampant Fremont pa
per of Cincinnati, which attacks Judge Mclean Bit
terly for this preference.
1t is of the most gratifying signs of the times
to nearly if not all of the reaylreat and patriotic
men Of the nation rallying around the standard Of
the Democratic party at the present crisis. The &C.
cession of Judge Mclean is another great proof Of
the fact that in times of real danger to the confed
eracy those who desire the perpetustion Of the
Union the preservation Of the constitution and the
maintenance Of the prosperity Of the country, will
array themselves in. the ranks which alone pre-
them, despite all former political predictions
and prejudices.

CANrwELL's JUsr1cE.-We have been favored with
copy of the invaluable work entitled Cantwell's
Justice" The following is the title page:
The North Carolina Magistrate, practical guide
to the Laws of the State and the decisions Of the
Supreme Court defining the Dutiesand jurisdiction
of Justices of thes Peace out of Court under the
Revised Code, 1s54-55, together with full instruc
lions and numerous Forms and Precedents, by Ed
ward Cantwel, L. L. B."
The above is new work of great merit and is
evidently desideratuns in that branch of the legal
art 1t has been gotten up by Mr. Cantwell at the
sacrifice of time and professional engagements, for
which he receives no pecuniary remuneration. He
deserves, and no doubt will receive, the thanks of
those whom it is designed to benefit.

~ Raleigh and GAston Kaifaad s 81.
The stockholders Of this Company held their am.
nual meeting in this City on Thursday the s0thsIt
and adjourned on the evening Of the same day.
The attendance on the part Of the stockholders
was not probably so full Is usual although large
majority Of the stock represented either in per
son or BY proxy. .5s..<l., ~
The meeting was organized by the appointment
Of Alfred Williams, ESQ.,, Chairman, and Maj. w.
W. Yass and W. A. Eaton, Esq, Secretaries ~,
Alfred Jones, Esq, of Wake, appeared as the re-
preventative of the stock held by the State.
The President of the Road R. A. Hamilton, Esq,
presented his report and accompanying statements
OF the Treasurer on the operations of the end
ing September 80, 1856.
The Report is full and explicit It refers to
the dlmuntion of receipts on freight and accounted
for ito the improvements going on between Cas-
ton and Weldon, their present cost and the further
amount to complete the same to the bridge across
the Roanoke at CASTOR which has been put under
contract, and the re reconstruction commenced. The
President speaks encouragingly of the capacity of
the road to pay good dividends when the extraordi-
nary repairs now in progress shall be completed
1t appears that the receipts for the year from freight
passengers and mail were about $l75, 600 and that
after paying the current and extraordinary expenses
there was left at the close of the year unexpend
ed balance Of some $25, 900.
L. Brown Venaole, Esq, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Finance and Inspection, submitted his
port, which was adopted by the stockholders
Among other things, it is the duty Of this Commit
tee to examine the accounts of the Treasurer, to
look into the feancial condition of the Company's
AFFAIRS and to carefully inspect and report upon the
condition of the road all which seems to have been
faithfully and theoretically done by this Committee.
They report against the declaring of dividend out
Of the profits of the years business, of even so
much as had not been expended, since the improve
ments now under construction had not beeu fin
ished and the funds might be needed for that pur-
pose.
AT this stage of the meeting interesting dis
cussion arose the proposition of Frances E. Rves
Esq, of Petersburg, to declare dividend of per
cent on the capital stock of the Company. payable
in scrip bearing per cent interest and redecmable in
five years. After lengthy debate, in which Messrs.
Mordeca, Venable Rives, Hinton and Hamilton par
ticipated, the resolution was withdrawn.
The stockholders then proceeded to elect four Di-
rectors on the part of the Company, which resulted
in the reelection of the old members The Governor
also re-appointed the old members on the part of
State. The Board stands now as last year, namely,
R. A. Hamilton, Geo. w. Mordecai, CASTOR H. Will.
