Central North Carolina Railroad

This Is the name given to new railroad com
pany, created by the Legislature of North Caro-
lima on the Sth of March, 1869, for the purpose
of constructing a railroad from some point on
the North Carolina road, ut near Greensboro,
the southern terminus of the Richmond and
Danville Railroad, due south, to Cheraw in
South Carolina about one hundred miles in
length. The construction of this link will form
another direct line from the East to the South
Atlantic coast, and when completed passengers
can take the cars of the Richmond and DanVille
Railroad at Richmond, and run through via
Greensboro, n. c. and Cheraw, s. c., via North
eastern Railroad, distance of 430 miles, at the
lowest calculation of speed (25 miles an hour,
in 1S hours or taking the cars from Washington
city via the Orange and Alexandria Railroad,
via Lynchburg, and from thence via the now
being constructed Lynchburg and Danville Rail
road to Greensboro, n. c., and thence to
Charleston, S. c., via the Central North Carolina
Railroad to Cheraw, S. c., and Northeastern
Railroad to. Charleston, distance of $50 miles,
in q hours, from Washington City to Charles
ton, 5. c.
The proposed route from Greensboro to Che.
raw is designed TO run through Guilford, Ran
dOlph Montgomery, and Richmond counties,
n. c., with easy grades, and very little rock ex-
cayatiOn except in Montgomery, which is
the finest mineral county in the State for gold
iron, and coal, where there is some slate eXcava-
ton necessary. The soil through these counties
can and will be made very valuable, especially
by foreign emigration. Landholders along the
route have already given the incorporators as
shduCCS W ouDsCllOc %OO,OOO dClcs Ol Ialu aI InG
present cash value for stock in the road.
The immense water powers of Deep, Wharrey,
and Yadkin rivers will be developed by the Cen
tral road, which will run parallel in many points
with those rivers where the most important
water powers are located and in close proximity
to the "Narows," the great falls of the Yadkin.
There are already located and in full operation
five large cotton factories on Deep river, within
n distance of about ten miles.
The construction and equipment of the new
road il is said, will not exceed $4,000 Its
success, from the encouragement received along
the route, seems to be certain.
Another road in connection with the Central
North Carolina Railroad, is in contemplation,
from Greensboro to point to be hereafter de-
signated on the Virginia State line, to join the
now being constructed road from Lynchburg to
Danyille, which will still further shorten the
distance between Philadelphia to Charleston, s.
c., upwards of thirty miles.

Space will not permit us to enlarge fur
ther at present. We shall recur TO this in
teresting subject from time to time. We
hope to see TIN great and useful principle
incorporated in the platform Of our National
Labor Union at its next convention, and we
would also urge our friends in the State Of
IllIno when they are called upon to sup
port candidates for election as delegates to
the approaching constitutional convention,
to give their votes and influence TO those
who are favorable to this great improvement
in representative COVE rnment-a principle
which commends itself to thoughtful men
throughout the world, because it is Just, be-
cause i will check corruption, it guaran-
tees pea E, and will improve the character
and ability Of members Of all Legislative Boz
dies. The principle may be applied in va
rious ways aud for various purposes, and
will be Of great value in the election Of
presidential electors, OF member Of con-

The Ledger, Of PhilAdelp lia, commenting
upon the suspension" sums up the good
results flowing from a want Of unity among
the miners, and says:
" II the want OF unity, as thus far dcmonstTa
ted, is maintained by some Of the workmen in
ire Wyoming region continuing at work, there
will probably be another good result, the
4" Benevolent Association" with its chief and
auxiliaries, that aims to control the trade being
powerless, may. in disgust, throw up its mission,
leaving the trade for the future under fair and
legitimate competition TO take care OF itself"
This Is the old story over again. There
Is not day passes but we are told by our
'enemies, that all g Trade Unions should
be suspended, and that all trade, under
/" legitimate competition should be left to
81 take care Of itself' What splendid
time employers would have if all " Trade
Unionn would cease to exist. We hope the
" Benevolent Association" will not take the
advice Of Dexe & Co.'S Ledger, and give up
IN " disgust" Stick to your organization,
miners Of Pennsylvania, and defy those who
would keep you in bondage.

A short time since we received from our
esteemed friend, Horace Il. Day, Of New
York, letter addressed TO the Hon. Henry
Wilson, Of Massachusetts,, which we deemed
a little too severe ana As Mr.. w. had
Just taken more than ordinary interest 10
the passage Of the supplemental Eight Hour
Bill, deeming discretion the better part
Of velor, we shelved it for the time being,
hoping that future events would prove the
structures referred to unmerted Since
that time, however, the Massachusetts Sena-
tor has completely upset our calculations,
and proved that his measure had been Too
correctly taken. His address to the opera
tives Of Chariestown is the production Of an
arrant dodger, and shows conclusively chat
be has little if any sympathy with the de-
mands Of the producing classes.
''The men who seek to create an antegon-
ism between capital and labor are demago-
guess says Mr.. w., as if obliYious Of the
fact that that aDtag0nism has existed for
centuries, and has been the fruits Of the vi
cious monetary system which he and his
compeers have sanctioned and endorsed I;
and against the change Of which be soNssren-
uously protests No, no sir this. petit
Jogging wOu'E do; no half way measures
will suffice. Tbs eight-hour system is very
well in its place, but 1t Is simply as means
u an end that it derives its chief import
ance. II matters little whether workingmen
or women are compelled to labor eight OF
twelve hours so long as the products Of their
labor are transferred to the pockets Of The
non-producer $50 long as capital claims
and obtains the lions share, aid secures the
legislation of the country to sanction the
robbery.
"Tbe cry that the rich are becoming richer
and the poor poorer, is unwarranted BY
facts" says our orator. Indeed From
what source do you derive your informa-
tion Do you know sir that Pauperism ha'
creased more than Fifty per cent. during
the PAST twenty Eve years; and that you

comes reported in our commercial centres,
are wrung from the sweat and toll Of those
who are hardly able to keep body and sou
together; and that the manufacturers o.
New England have grown rich at the sxpens'
of the lives, the virtue and the happiness O
those who lead life Of worse than African
slavery. Take the increase Of our popula
tioa as basis for your calculation, and theE
tell US who is the demaeQg =.
But we are digressinl We had no inten
ton Of charging on ibis qnesti ,nswhen W

Senator Wilson and every other senator in

them to be; and that be must taks atothe

county, has signifed his willingness to ac-
cept the nomination of the workngmen Of
Tennessee for Governor, on the platform Of
the National Labor Platform.
The workingmen of the senatorial district
Of Smith and Sumner counties, have also
determined to support the Hon. 7. McKinly,
for Senator in that district. Both these gen
tlemen, we are eredibly informed, are pecu-
liarly qualified to FIJI the respective posi-
tions for which they have been nominated,
