verses through counties from Cumberland
to Guilford and Davidson, and to build this
it will take 1000 men 500 days, with an ex-
penditure of 100000. The Tarboro Rail-
road has 100000 days work to be divided
among the counties of Halifax, Edgecombe,
Pitt, Martin and Wilson, and the supplies
will be drawn from the counties in the North
eastern part OF the State The Salem Rail
road runs West from Guilford, and wants
100000 days work
Next comes that great arm of COM
mercc which starts from Salisbury and
reaches out to Buncombe, and from thence
branch down the French Broad to the Ten
nessee line on West to Cherokee, opening up
to commerce, that vast and most magnif-
cent mountain country, as beautiful and fer
tile as the sun ever shown upon, so aptly
called the Switzerland of America. To
complete this, it will require 1900 days
work, for 900 men, receiving supplies from
and spending money in thirty odd counties.
In this connection we must not forget the
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford r.
r., which passes through the entire southern
tier of counties. While this road holds no
State bonds, yet it depends entirely upon
the standing of the State credit, for every
cent of money it receives, to build the road.
Thus we have six separate Railroads benefit
ing directly over three fourths of the coun-
ties of the State, and indirectly the entire
State. 1t will give 1000 days work to 5000
men. Let the amount of money to he ex-
pended, be divided among the counties of
the State and it will amount to $6OO0O per
county, and be over $500 to every man, wo
man and child in the State. Here is the
States interest Who will be the recreant son
to betray, by withholding that which will
add to her greatness, and develops the re
sources of State which is second to none
upon the continent.

difference between the banker who buys u

GEN. GRANTS LETTER.
LET US HAVE PEACE.

The following is the letter of Gen. U. s. Grant,
accepting the nomination of the National Union
Republican Convention:
WASHINGTON, May 90, 1868.
Gen. Joseph R. Hd,cley, President National Union
Republican COh0ention:
In formally accepting the nomination of the
National Union Republican Convention, of the
2lst of May inst, it seems proper that some
statement of views, beyond the mere acceptance
Of the nomination, should be expressed.
The proceedings of the Convention were mark
ed with wisdom, moderation and patriotism,
and of those who sustained the country through
its recent trials. l endorse their resolutions. If
elected to the Office of President OF the United
States, it will be my cndeaver to administer all
the laws in good faith, with economy and with
view OF giving peace, quiet and protection
everywhere.
In times like the present, it is impossible, or,
at least, emncntly improper, to lay down a pol
icy to be adhered to, right or wrong, through an
administration of four years.
New political issues, not foreseen, are con-
stantly arising. The views OF the public on old
ones are constantly changing, and purely ad
ministrative officer should always be lett free to
execute the VIII CT the people have always
respected that will, and ALWAYS shall.
Peace, and universal prosperity, its sequence
with economy of administration, will tighten thu
burthen OF taxation, while it constantly reduces
the national debt. Let us have peace
With great respect.
Your obedient servant,
| U. s. GRANT.

THE PORE CALLS \ CoUSCIL,-The
Pope has issued the bull which convokes
a general council Of the Roman Catholic
Church al Rome for the sth Of December,
1869. All the bishops of the church are
expected to be present, either in person or
by proxy, Extensive preparations have
for some time been made in Rome, and
from present indications it is probable
that the present Council viii be one Of
very great Importance. The relations of
the church to the State Governments and
to modern civilization will undoubtedly
engage a prominent share of the Councils

that the men who have foisted themselves

scheme are not worthy of the confidence
of Catholics, they contend that its success
would, instead OF beneftting the Holy
Father, only increase the difficulties by
which he is at present surrounded. The
