North.CarOlina Railroad.

At meeting of the Directors of this Road, held
at the Company's Shops, in Alamance, on Friday
last Mr.. Mendenhall rendered his resignation as
Treasurer, in pursuance of the notice he gave at
previous meeting, and Andrew Mickle, Esq, of
Chapel Hill, was elected in his place. This is an
excellent appointment The Directors could have
found no one better suited for the place than Mr..
Mckle
We learn that the Committee examined the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the Road for the last
quarter and reported all as correct; and further
more, that there were sufficient funds on hand to
Justify dividend which the Board declared of three
per cent on the one million of dollars of the States
preferred stock for the last six months. This, we
trust, will silence the charges in circulation as to
extravaganza and msmanagement in the affairs Of
the Road.
We are gratifed to learn that the receipts both
from freight and travel show an increase for the
present month over the same month of last year.

Mr.. Fishers Reply to M. Worth.

mr. flSneI'S hepIy 70 Wss =" OftHsf
The last Salisbury Banner contains reply by
Mr. Fisher to Mr.. Worth, occupying nearly six col
umns of that paper. This, We presume, will con-
clude the controversy for the present Mr.. Fisher
has triumphantly answered all the charges preferred
by Mr.. Worth in his late labored communication in
the Register and he has done it, too, in style and
with force which Mr.. Worth will net soon forget
Among other things, in proof that Mr.. Worth was
not entirely above the influences of party preu-
dice in his investigation, he calls attention to the
fact that the Chairman "found not single act to
approve in all my Mr.. Fisher'sl administration of
the work-not one and that you Mr. WORTH
found no single act Of any one but myself MR.
Fisher to censure."
By the way, while on this subject and before dis
missing it from our columns, it in justice to
Mr.. Worth to state that he was correct in saying
that the contest arose in the Senate the propo
stion to print Mr. Fishers reply. The first propo-
stion was to print and it was then determined to
read before printing The contest was commenced
anew over the reading, and it was then that Messrs.
Turner and Leach acted in such way as to arrest
and prevent the reading. The truth is, some of
Mr. Worth's friends, as the record shows, were op
posed both to the motion to print and to the reading;
and his friends at last prevented the reading of
the document

THE SICKLEs TRIAL-We learn from the Wash
ington Union that the trial of Sickles for the killing
of Key, has been set for Monday April 4th. The
Union says, "among other statements it has been
alleged that Ex-senator Badger, of North Carolina,
would assist in the prosecution. This is without
foundation. So far from having any connection with
the Sickles case, we learn that Mr.. Badger will leave
Washington this morning, not to return until May.
We believe that it has not yet been settled whether
counsel will be retained to assist the District Attor
ney in the prosecution"
The EARLY STANDARDIZATION in this region is
as far advanced now as it usually is by the 10th of
April. We do not know when there was an earlier
Spring. We have had, too, succession of rains,
rendering the ground unfit for blowing, with the
exception of high, gravelly lands. If the frost pre-
dlcted by some ON the I" full moon in April should
actually come it will be disastrous to fruits and to
vegetation generally. ...
