Consolidation.

The announcement in our columns of a
meeting of the Stockholders of the North
Carolina Railroad, to be held in Raleigh on
the 18th of December next, for the purpose
"of considering the Bylaws and regula-
tons proposed by the committee, and also
such amendments to the charter as may be
suggested" probably warrants us in sup
posing that one of the important amend
ments to the charter, which will be sugges-
ted, is the consolidation of that road with
the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad,
running from Goldsboro' to Morehead City,
and probably, also consolidation with the
Western North Carolina Road running from
Salisbury west, already completed to Nor
canton.
While we will go as far as the farthest in
urging upon the Legislature and the people
to foster and aid the great lines of Railroad
in operation, and those in course of construc-
ton in the State, we shall steadily and
zealously oppose any schemel which forces
trade from its legitimate channels and COM
pels the farmers, miners, manufacturers or
merchants to patronize particular roads or
particular markets. Trade should be free
to seek the most advantageous route and
market, and we desire to see our roads and
seaports built UP by preventing equal or

Wilmington and weldon railroad

In order that the Stockholders of this
Road might the more carefully examine
the Annual Reports of their officials, they
were printed for distribution in advance of
the general meeting, which assemblies to-
day in this city. As those most interested
have or will inform themselves being in
possession of the reports), we give only
such synopsis as will prove interesting to
the general reader.
The reports show that the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad has suffered, like all
similar corporations in the South, from a
great depression and stringency in its
finances, and very heavy demand upon
its funds for repairs and purchases of roll
ing stock, made necessary by the exhaus-
ton OF the war, and especially the great
destruction Of its property and track du-
ring the last months thereof Still there
is much cause of qualification and hope
for the future welfare of the Road. Under
all the untoward circumstances surrounding
it, its prospects are very promising. The
extensive repairs and improvements, begun
during the last fiscal year, have been dill
gently and zealously continued throughout
the present, with such success as to restore
the Road to degree of efficiency unsur-
passed by any similar corporation in the
country.
From the Report of the Board of Direc-
tors we learn that the Hon. r. r. Bridgers,
the President of the COMPANY, is now

How long before North Carolina would be
governed 10y a railroad regency, as New
York and New Jersey are, without even
the benefit derived from the railroads in
these States in paying the expenses of the
government to great measure We hope
never to see the day when the sovereignty
of North Carolina will be sunk into great
railroad monopoly.

We publish to-day, in advance of the

North Carolina LEGISLATURE.

It will be seen by Mondays proceedings
