The ch.,nsm Ra,,road Compauy..


We are gratified to learn, from the President OF.
this Company, that Messrs. 1. N. Clegg & Go. have
contracted to grade the middle division of the Road
twenty,three miles, from Carey, on the N Q. Rail-
road, to Lockville, Deep River, two miles above
Haywood. We understand that the firm consists
of enterprsing and substantial men, who will pros
ecute their undertaking with activity and energy.
They are to finish their division by the 1st Janua-
ry, 1862.
The valuable products of the coal basin of Chat
ham and Moore can be transported on the Deep
River to LockvTe, whence they will find their way
along the line of the Chatham Railroad to the N
G. Railroad. The Directors of the Chatham Rail-
road intend, however, as soon sufficient stock is
subscribed, to extend their line from Carey to
Raleigh, and from Lockville to the Coalfelds.
We wish this Road complete success. The val
bic deposites of coal and iron necessary to carry
on the workshops of the Government and the Rail
reads. The coal is essential to the comfort Of
thousands, who, on account of the difficulties of
Railroad transportation are deprived of their usual
winter supplies of wood.
Why should not the State become a stakeholder
in this work at onceH We know of no work of the
kind which is more important to the State The
gen eral wealth will be immensely increased by this
Road. No Road can be considered local in its char
acter, which developes the boundess resources ef
the Deep River valley.

With the noise of battle sounding in our ears from
all quarters, and when thousands of our gallant
countrymen are bleeding and dying in the cause, we
are not disposed to engage in party controversy
with the Richmond Enquirer, or any other journal.
We, therefore, postpone our reply to that paper I'M
til some more suitable occasion. But we retract
nothing that we have said We go further, and tell
the Enquirer that we can successfully meet every
point which it has made. The Standard is too
firmly fixed in the confidence of the people of the
State to be injured by any attacks upon it by even
the Richmond Enquirer. We bide our time.

GEORGIA OorroS AND Wool CARDS The Legislature of
Georgia has passed bill apprOpratng $50 900 to purchase
the half interest of Lee Cos. Card manufactory This
is to be applied in part towards duplicating 20 Of the
chimes which it is stated be done in few weeks at the
Penitentiary. And each machine makes ga pairs of
cards day. the wle will turn out 200 pairs month.
This is a wise Of Georgia. With such supply of
cards the of the State speedily cOthe them
selves and their gallant troops without sezng the factories
proposed and with necessary dependence them.
These Georgia Cards made WhtemOre machine
which brought through from Btm"re and perfect
patterns of the WhtemOre Cards. They sold by the
makers at So instead Of S25 and $50 for Those which
have The blockade 1t is said that 50 pair
make them--FdyetteriHs Observer.
The want of cotton and wool cards is deeply felt
in North Carolina. Our people can now obtain the
warp for cloth at the factories at reasonable prices
Thousands of women and children are now idle for
the want of cards. We trust the Legislature will
take up this matter at once and make an effort to
procure some of these machines from our sister
State.
The only wheel factory in operation in this State
that we know Of is that of James S. Glenn, of
Orange. He is turning out considerable number
of spinning fiaxwheels, and clockreels, but
is not able to supply the demand.
Dean Swift said, that he who caused two blades
of grass to grow where one had grown before, was
worth the whole of politicians If this be true
IN one sense, it is in another. He who, in this cr-
sis, clothing for the people and the army to
be spun, and woven, and made up, will accomplish
more real good than could be done by any number
of political harangues.
