Vile and Greensboroagh. The subject is highly
Interesting to the people of this city aad oil the
friends of the psnvile Railroad, aud We would be-
obliged TO some correspondent in Rockingham Tor
full explanation Of she objects of tho friends Of
this enterprise, and the extent and proposed di-
rection Of their road. 1t appears that the people
Of Rockingham are In earnest, from the prompts
ness With which they have planked dowa their
money. They are strong backed people, and
have energy aud determination to go through with
What they undertake. They will reap the most
important benefits by the Dabyille extension,
white the trade OF this city will be Immensely in-
creased by the same cause. We invite attention
to the letter of our correspondent:
