l-u-eI from the Raleigh Sentinel
rRI Raleigh SeatineIis responsible for
tac statement that proposition has bceu
s4ad- by the Richmond and Danv1Ile Rali
= al 70 lease that portion Of the North
tlsDiinl Rail Road, lying between Greens
hgrl' and Charlotte. Ridiculous as the
5u,a NAV a2pear. it would seem that the
Directors Of the n. G.. Road have given II
such serious though as to promise 1t a
consideration at a meeting to be held on
the Sth of November, when such Of the
Stockholders as may fee! an interest IN the
matter, are invited to be present and give
in their views. With The Sentinel, we think
that if Virginians can run our Roads and
make them pay, certainly North CAROLYN
iars should be able to do the same. But
The funny part OF the thing is, that the
Danvilo Road. with an income Of $780,
ono proposes TO lease and run the most
rolifc portion OF Il Road that has PAID,
since the war, dividends of per cent. and
whose income has reached 81, OOO,O 600.

prisoners, who sworo heavily against Felix

Superior Court at Yanceyville, was con
victed on d charge of stealing money, and
sentenced by Judge Tourgee to one year in
the Penitentiary.
Pious Joe Womack. another of the wit
no5ses in the above eases, who saw Wiley,
(as he said,) coming out OF the room in
which Stephens body was found, went off
with Kinks ''lambs," and when last heard
from, had arrived safely IN Tennessee and
was still progressing.
We learn that one Grant, who was sort
Of sutler TO Kinks army in the late Cas-
we'll campaign, arrived at Yanceyville last
week, on matrimonial purposes bent, but
finding the Court in session and fearing
that the officers might be making rouble-
some inquiries concerning him, he only
''tarried for night" and left early next
morning or before morning, taking with
him Miss Lettie Stephens-Si OF John
W., to console him in his future wander
ings. They were not married before leav-
ing, but it is to be hoped they have been
by this sime.--hul. Sentinel.
