- A Columbia dispatch to the NetcS and
Courier, says that on Thursday night politi-
cal conference was held in one of the Senate
committee rooms between number Of white
men and Miller, the colored Republican Sena-
tor from Beaufort. Thirteen white men, all
of whom are said to have been Democrats,
were present. They hailed from seven coun-
ties and were from the up country, excepting
one, who was from Charleston. Greenville
and Anderson counties were represented, but
the names of the parties are refused by Miller,
who says that the object Of the meeting was
to ascertain the meaning of his recent speech
on the registration bill, and to adopt some
plan for future political action independently
of the Democratic organization. The strict
est secrecy is preserved as to the deliberations.
Miller, who is Vice-President of the Republi-
can Executive Committee, denies that there
has been any conference of Republican leaders,
or that any appointment of a conference in
February has been made.

NORTH CAROLINA NEWS.

DIR. Canedo's associates have signed the
contract for the purchase of the Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley Railroad, and the probabil-
ity is the road will be rapidly pushed on to
completion.
- Says the GaStonia Gazette of Friday: 1--WE
have learned from an authentic source that
some of the emigrants who left this county
in December last, were robbed in Chattanooga,
Tenn. Mr.. R. \ Black lost about S21O, John
Jenkins about S1OO, and Mr.. Gill about S4O0,
but recovered his. A letter to Mr.. j. NJ.
Ford confirms previous rumors in regard to
that unfortunate affair"
- The Lincoln Progress learns from Captain
Waddill, Superintendent of Construction Oh
the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, that he has
iron enough on hand to lay the track of the
road quarter of mile, and will begin laying
track in the direction of Newton in ten OF
twelve days. Iron sufficient to lay about five
miles of track has been purchased and as
soon as it is received the work will be pushed
with "diligence and energy until the supply
is exhausted. Contracts for getting out ties
along the line are now being awarded.
- The statement that Mr. Best's Midland
North Carolina Railway had collapsed seems
to have been premature. So far from the
enterprise having failed, the Goldsboro Mes
senger, contradicting the rumor, gives the
following additional information: 1--WE are
pleased to learn that the first cargo of railroad
steel for the Midland North Carolina Railway
has arrived at Beaufort direct from England.
Two other vessels are soon expected. This
should be taken as all earnestneSS of Nh.
Best's intention. by the way the grading
has been completed TO Smithfeld, upon which
happy event we extend our hearty congratula-
tions to our friends in that section"
