THE NEW RAILROAD PROS.
PECT.
W ashingtOn Progress.

Mr.. Goerke, Chief Engineer Of the
Norfolk Southern Railroad, who is a
very clever and intelligent gentleman,
called to see US last week The last
General Assembly amended the charter
of the above named road, and now Mr..
Goerke is making a survey with the
prospect of tie extension of the road
from Edcnton to Washington, Kins,on
and Wilmington He S undecided as
to the exact location of the road, and IS
not certain that the road will be eX-
tended, but thinks it highly probable.
He began the survey at EdentoI,
crossed the Chowan river at Eden House
Point, at which place the bridge would
be about one and half miles. From
there he continued the survey to James
Vile and has passed this place and is
now about five miles south of here IN
the direction of Kinston and will con-
tinue it to that place, when he will dis
continue it for the present.
The object the Company has in view
is to construct direct coast line from
North to South. This road when COM
pleted, will have the quickest and most
direct line, giving the South decided
advantage over the present.
The Norfolk Southern Road is, now,
with its connections, Road that is not
excelled by any Road in this part of
the country for dispatch. The plan
evidently shows that this Company has
looked deeply into the advantage which
the proposed route would give them
over other routes. No road could COM
pete with it, with the advantage of
connections which it has. The road if
completed, would sweep the freight of
all the sections of country accessible to
it, and would with the proper connec-
tions south of Wilmington, control the
freight of the South to a great extent,
