The RRIIrnad Routes.

After having recently passed over the North Caro-
lima and Charlotte and South Carolina Roads, con.
shutting, with the Raleigh and CASTOR Roads, the
Upper Route we are forced to the conclusion that no
very serious competition need be dreaded by the
lower or seaboard route. The number of through
travellers passing between the North and South over
that route struck next to nothing, and as likely
to continue So We do not wish 10 run down the
lines or the gentlemen connected with them, but
simply TO state what appears to US to be the facts CT
the case. Greater distance and crooked route
will inevitably prevent the upper route competing
with the lower in the matter of time, and in addition,
the greater part of the Charlotte aud South Carolina
Road is laid with fiat bar iron, upon which fast time
cannot be made with safety comfort, or without
mourning ruinous expense in keeping up the road
way, an expense of such character that Mr.. John
son, personal---very. clever president of that
road will not incur for such purpose. We suppose
was hardlY.a fair average when came down from
Charlotte to Columbia in company with four other
passengers and more, and not all of them through
passengers of the upper route. 1t hardly appeared
as though the success Ill taking travel from the
board route had equalled the effort put forth to
achieve it.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1857-07-24
Charlotte

For the first time for very many years we passed
last week few Eours in the village of Charlotte
The place itself is pretty much the same-the popu-
lation seems 10 have been good deal changed
Either faces once known had become unfamiliar, or
new ones had taken their places. Something OF both
we suppose.
The village is very unfortunately laid out, having,
in fact only two streets-Main or Tryon Street and
College Street or Avenue. The others are mere al
legs between yards, narrow and unimproved. AT
and in the neghbourhood of the point where the two
streets intersect there some imposing and costly
blocks of lofty building worthy of Broadway, but
scarcely harmonizng with their location, and drawing
attention TO the unfinished village air of things be-
yond their immediate precincts. 1t would appear as
though the speculative spirit had been infused into
the minds cf our Charlotte friends at the same time
that the rest of mankind" were suffering from a
similar disease otherwise it would be difficult TO
count for the erection of vast four story buildings where
so much ground remains unoccupied, upon which
equally serviceabe buildings for all useful purposes,
might have been erected at fraction of the cost of the
tall ones there now Lots, we understand, ran up to
prepostercus price. Still the stores are very fine,
there are evidences of energy and capital and if the
village, as WnOle, is III Deduty, ~ Is
of life, contains fair proportion of clover people,
and will be sure to recover from the temporary back
set, under which every business community in the
State is suffering
At Charlotte we enjoyed the pleasure of meeting
our friend, VIM. j. Yates, Esq, of the Western Dem
ocrat, formerly of the Fayetteville Carolinan. MIR.
Yates is an excellent editor and good Democrat, and
his location at Charlotte will be great gain TO the
Democratic party of the Seventh District He seems
to be highly pleased with his location. 1t suits him
and he suits it, He will deserve success and secure
it, too, we trust.
From what we could learn by conversation with
some gentlemen at Charlotte, were lead to believe
that the prospects for Mecklenburg subscription to
the Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford Rail Road,
are rather SLIM and not much certainty about the
Union County subscription. Our iDformants may
have been mistaken, however. Charlotte, we think
would like the road to come to her, either from the
East or West, but not to through If the Eastern
end is built, all right-then she don't want the West
If the Western end-then still better-she don't want
the east

ton account upon which to saddle all extraordinary
OUTLAWS, it is easy to make very low showing OF
actual expenses but tn continued OUTLAWS, OF which
we see no immediate end equally deplete the treasury
of the company and the funds of the State under
name as under another-equally demand the payment
of oppressive taxes by mercantile community
against whom an unfounded prejudice seems to pre-
vail on the part of these whose road has been nstru-
mental in imposing the greater part OF this vast load
and the cry will be raised that Wilmington wants
everything, when, in fact, all that Wilmington has
ever received does not amount to drop in the bucket
We think that all this unjust feeling against Will
mington is the result of misconception.

The Crops.

Daring hurried trip last week to Charlotte and
Davidson College, v1G the Wilmington and Weldon
and the North Carolina Roads going, and the Char
lotte and south Carolina, the Columbia Branch and
the Wilmington and Manchester Road returning, we
had some opportunity to see and enquire about the
crops in several of the counties of this State and
Districts of South Carolina. The wheat is all cut
and nearly all garnered About that we have heard
but one account-that ii is unusually fine, and the
product must be far in advance of any previous year.
as a much larger area thar usual had been planted.
The oats very low owing to the dry weather, but
the heads will turn out about an average. C1rn in
most places West of Raleigh is very backward, but
green and thrifty, with every prospect of turning
out well. The recent rains have brought it out
wonderfully. The corn in the East is fully three
weeks ahead of that in the middle counties with the
prospect of most abundant yield. Cotton is very
backward, and no season, no matter how favorable
hereafter, bring it up TO anything like an aver.
age There is too poor a stand. The plants are al.
together too scatle1ing-too many of them have
missed and all are too late. Two-thirds of crop.
in the regions we have been heard from, would, we
think. be very sanguine calculation. With an
abundant food crop, the comparative failure of cotton
will not be much fe as most probably the amount
of money realized from the sale of what will be
made, will pretty much equal that which would have
been realized had superintendent crop been made.
