tive character.
We will hail with pleasure being Joined,
commercially and socially, by such indiE-
soluble bonds with the good people OF
Onslow. They are our friends now, long
separated by distance and the nature CT
the intervening country. United by a
Railroad they become close and cherished
neighbors. Our interests will be the same,
as our sympathies now are identical.
We believe that the favorable vote upon
the pending appropriation in Onslow will
be the signal for energy and liberality upon
the part of our citizens. We must meet
them half way in this movement. Ii they
desire an outlet for their trade, We seek
to bring it to our market. If all work
together upon the platform OF mutual
benefits the enterprise will be successful.
If there is any necessity for rivalry and
iealousies in this matter let it be exhibited
in an earnett and honest effort to excel
each other in the zeal and liberality with
which the work is pushed forward. Fail
ure now to build the Wilmington and
Onslow Railroad will be reflection upon
the enterprise of all parties, and will show
an apathy and Indifference not favorable 10
the future prosperity of Wilmington.
W1LMINGroN & ONsLow RA1LRoAD-The
gentlemen from this place who left here
last Sunday for attendance at the Whining
ton Il Onslow Rail Road meeting, which
was held at Jacksonville last Monday, all
0fF7NT hnr ~
enterprisiDg efforts were. we are happy to
say, rewarded with a full success, as will
be seen in the report we publish elsewhere.
The action of the meeting was unanimous,
and its proceedings will be submitted to
the people of Onslow county, for rati6ca-
ton, on the Thursday of next week, the
18th instant. The probabilities are very
much in favor of their hearty endorsement
Of the NE asures.
Thus it will be seen that this enterprise,
from which our city is sure TO receive SO
much benefit, is now in fair way of re-
alization. Wilmington and the fertile
lands and the productive sea coasts of
Onslow are to be united and that, too, by
the terms of 4he proposed contract, within
the short space of one year.
The Seventh Anniversary of President
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was
fully observed here yesterday by the col
ored people. There was very imposing
procession. at about noon, which paraded
through some of the principal streets,
finally bringing mp at the City Hall, where
addresses were delivered by several col
ored orators, among them George ".
Price, Jr. The entire occasion passed off
pleasantly. we understand, to the majority
of those participating.
