The Stockholders in the Wilmington, Charlotte
and Rutherford Railroad, who met yesterday fore
noon in the Court House, adjourned until 81 clock
The report of the President and Directors refer
red to Committee, who reported concurling in
some OF the suggestions and dissenting from Others
Some Of the recommendations in the Presidents
report were adopted and some were not In the
progress OF the meeting, some pretty sharp discus
sion arose. in the progress of which Mr. Guion, the
President, took occasion to reflect rather more Sc
verely upon the town of Wilmington than suited
our notions.
All the old officers of the company were re elect
ed with the exception Of T. T. Slade, Esq, director
from Lincoln County, who, we believe, desired to be
excused. David S. Cowan, Esq, of Wilmington,
and Vardry Mc8ee, of Linconton, were elected new
members Of the board. The ways and means to
raise the requisite amount of money to finish and
equip the first % miles, is the immediate matter now
pressing.
From the report of the Chief Engineer we learn
that of the division from Lumberton to the Cape
Fear River the greater portion Of the grading has
been contracted for, generally to be completed BY
the first January 1852 though few contracts can be
completed by that time.
About one half of the grading from Lumberton to
the Pee Dee has been placed under CONTRACT; to be
finished at the same time with the contracts on the
first division, or that between Lumberton and the
Cape Fear River. No means have yet been provided
for the construction of either the bridges or trese-
work, with some triAing exceptions If the means
are provided, there is no reason why track-layng
may not be commenced on the LIST of April next, and
continued uninterruptedly Rockingham.
Tn the western division hat is west of Char
otte, about two.ffths of the grading has been con-
tracted for and several important bridges have also
been placed under contract. The value of the work
done on the Eastern division amounts to $91, 1894 :;
on the Western division to $ss. 1856, making an ag
gregate of $lS0,O5O.
We learn that committee was appointed to pre-
pare the proceedings for publication in pamphlet
form, and also to arrange report for the papers,
We ha' e not heard from it.-WiL Journal
The STOCKHOLDERS MEETISG.-We find some mis-
takes in report yesterday of the proceedings of
the Stockholders, in the Wilmington, Charlotte &
Rutherford r. R. Co.
All the members of the old Board of Directors
were elected The only change in the officers,
consists in the election of two officers instead of
David S. Cowan Esq, being elected Secretary and
Treasurer for the Eastern division, from Wilmington
| to Charlotte. and Vardry McBee Esq, Secretary
and Treasurer for the Western division from Char
| lotte to Lincolnton
All the reco lamentations contained in the report
of the President and Directors, were concurred in
by the committee and the meeting. Certain resolu-
tons introduced, proposing particular plan for
carrying into effect these recommendations were not
adopted. and this led to the conclusion that the
| recommendations were not concurred in Other
plans are in progress by which is hoped to effect
| the desired ends.-WM Journal
