Stanford Adams, Boston, was strongly
represented here as he has been everywhere

And now look on this -

graduate the Senate and House Of Represen-
ta'ives for the harmony evinced in these i'm

weighty enough TO impair confidence in their
political integrity, and therefore there has
been disposition to "seek for the things

notice that the freights on this road yester-
day, and for several days before, have been
very heavy--brought BY the New York.
Philadelphia aud Baltimore beats, for trans
portation into North Carolina. The capacity
of the road is taxed to its utmost; and amidst
the repairs and improvements which the
Company are continually making, 1t is no
wonder that freight has to lie over for day
or two, 80 continually does it crowd upon
their depots. We are assured, however, that
they are rapidly repairing the track; that the
facilities of the road are daily increasing, and
it will soon be capable of doing all the bus-
ness which may offer. We rejoice to chroni-
Gle every triumph of enterprise which speeds
along the growth and improvement of the

advertise literally, and keep their business
always before the public
