We find the above communication in tie Ncwberr
Daily Delta Of the 18th inst In justice to the cOnduc
tors on the Wilmington and Weldon Road and also OF
the North Carolina Road, we would state that within
the present year. particularly we have had occasion tt
pass frequently the line of both roads, far
least as Raleigh, and cannot now rccoect having a
any time heard any of the conductors act in the name
complained of by VICTOR. We hare heard one o
the conductors the Wilmington Road when appealed
to by some passengers give his opinion that both tn
houses were good but refuse to recommend either Il
preference to the other. About the Atlantic Road w
cannot speak, we have not had the pleasure of tray
cling on it. VICTOR may be under the impression
that he is right but most certainly bis experience ha
been wholly different from ours, from anything tina
has come under observation.
Bsg~ The British Navy estimates for the current yea
amount to over sixty-three millions Of dollars. Thi
shows that Mr. John Bull is determined not to be caugE
mapping in the Navy line Say what people may,
would not be an easy matter for an invading army
land in England.
By the way, the formation Of volunteer rife corps
dead drag in spite Of Tennysons request for the riff
men to form. John Bull is not sharp-shooter netht
is he, as general thing, fond of free fight.
