entities the proposition to more favor
able consideration than those not ac
puainted with the facts are disposed
to give 1t.
With one or two uncomfortable ex-
captions, the old plank road is straight
and level, and Six Runs IS the only
stream which would needtO be bridged.
The States interest Ill the road has
been relinquished to the private stock
ilol.lers, and no doubt It's use for q
railroad could be secured without any
cash outlay.
There is an abundance Of timber on
both sides OF the road III easy reach OF
every foot Of it.
The advantages to t business Of
Wilmington and the Wilmington *
Weldon Railroad would be incsIc;Iia-
bic. Perhaps third Of the cotton
raised in Sampson is now carried to
Fayetteville. Many wagon loads of it
have passed through Clinton III the
last ten days, and the probabilities are
that the amount carried to Iayette-
VILE will steadily increase.
The preference III this matter may
not hc due altogether t the lack Of a
railroad; but mere is "a strong proba-
hility that IL railroad to Warsaw would
turn almost orr entire crop to VII
m:ngton.
On the other hand q railroad to Fay
cttcvilie would leave few bales TO go
to Wilmington, and If our Fayetteville
friends could help rs to as cheap q
rrud rs can be built to Warsaw, We
would not give the toss Of Il copper for
the difference. SO we get Il railroad
or their connections. We shall be con-
tented. and We prefer the route to
Warsaw as being the short. st. best,
and most likely 10 be Lujlt.
In order that the feasibility OF this
road may be brought to the attention
Of parties Interested, We suggest that
President Bridgcrs drive ont to Gin
ton on the plank road and see for him
self.
President Bridgers has informed
Judge McKoy, we learn, that he wishes
to gravel the roal-bed OF the Whining
ton 4, Weldon Railroad and is anxious
to find gravel bed LARGO enourh for

THAT THE. FIRM WERE ENGAGED IN THE PRO
CEEDINGs AGAINST PHELPS, DODGE co.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: In the report of the testimony taken
on the nth inst. before the Committee of ways and
Means at Washington the subject Of the seizure Of
books aud papers Mr.. Jayne. when inquired of who
the attorneys connected with the seizure 0f the
papers OF Phelps, Dodge Co.. is reported answering
thus: Ethan Allen, Dudley Field. of David Dudley
Field and Judges Brdseye & Crosby, the last-Damed
formerly OF Michigan"
As was formerly member OF the firm OF Birdseye
& Crosby. and Mr.. c. formerly Of Michigan, |
perhaps justified in assuming that Mr.. Jayne in
tended TO refer 10 me attorney IN some manner
connected with the complaint against Phelps, Dodge
K Co.
IL is not for to say whether any connection with
such by attorney would be creditabo, profes-
siona otherwise but Mr. Jayne is wholly mistaken
In his statement far II relates to myself, IL is due
10 truth that tile correction should be made public.
The firm Of Brdseye & Crosby dissolved Aug. 10,
s72 that published at the time. The com.
plant against Phelps Dodge Co qua not orlsInae .ll
several months after that time Neither myself nor any
hrm OF which | was partner was ever employed, re,
tanned, consulted or concerned ln, or connected
with the complaint against Phelps Dodge q
Co., the seizure Of their books or papers.
Neither myself any firm with which was
nected received or charged or became entitled to
any fees compensation IN that matter We never saw
or had apy communication. direct indirect with Mr.
Jayne or with the informer with the The
nectOn OF Mr. Crosby with the case was several months
after my dissolution with him. am confident he never
