To the Editors of the Greensborough Patriot: The excitement of the late Congressional election having passed away, it is a fit time, as well observed in your last issue, again to call public attention to the North Carolina Railroad, and also, to other roads in which the State has so much money invested.— The attention of the people must be promi-nently called to this subject, or our public improvements, from which we hoped so much good would come, will keep us op-pressed with taxation, and those portions of the State which have derived no immediate benefit from present improvements, which they have been taxed to build up, can hope for ro State aid to make improvements nearer home. These works ought to pay interest on the investment—and if they do not, the people out of the vicinity of im-provements, cannot bo expected to contribute to building them. The investigations of the last Legislature did much good—but owing to a variety of causes, they were very super-ficial— owing to the party hue, which the dominant portion of the Legislature chose to give to the report on the North Carolina Road, and to the omission of every Democratic newspaper in the State to publish it, while every one of them abused it and its author, the merits of that report are known only to the readers of a few Whig papers. Net all of those published it, or presented even a synopsis of its contents D its readers. The llillsboro' Recorder, before reading it, as the editor admitted in his commentary, con-demed it. I am not a reader of that Jour-nal, and do not know whether it made any further examination or commentary after the one, made soon after its appearance, ro-published by the Standard with commenda-tory remarks. Besides this report, there was another made by Mr. Outlaw on the Western North Carolina Railroad, which, though brief, contains some startling disclos-ures. If this has been published in any paper in the State, I have not seen it. I proposo to make some commentaries sug-gested by the facts disclosed in both reports. Since the publication of Worth's report on the North Carolina Railroad, John C. Mc- Rao & Co., and the individual members of the committee who allowed their claim, have made publications in vindication of them-selves; and these have called out the Engi-neer, Col. Gywnn. These publications, in connection with the report of the Investiga-ting Committee, remove all doubt from the mind of any intelligent reader, as to the character of that extraordinary settlement. Allow me first, to review its prominent fea-tures. In the winter of 1854, Democracy had re-solved that (iov. Morehead should bo dis-placed as President of the North Carolina Railroad, and Mr. Fisher, a democrat, was fixed upon as his successor. Gov. Reid had shown his purpose to make the road a source of party patronage, by removing the Direc-tors who had contributed largely to building the road, and filling their places with parti-zans. He had, at heart, tho success of his party, and the reward of stump orators—not \ tho success of the road—this is a harsh ini" putation. Let us see if the facts do not fully , warrant it. In IS."):}, he appointed eight Directors. Six of them were Democrats. Whether the other two, Washington and Phillips, were tVbigs I am ignorant. Two of them did not own one share of stock. The other six held among them <J- shares. They took the places of eight Directors of the previous year, who owned :iSS shares. In 1851, the Directors appointed by Gov. Reid, were all democrats. Hero are their names, with the number of shares of stock owned by each annexed : Fisher 10 Berry 0 Strange 1 Stephenson 0 Rand 2 Hargrove 20 Dick 5 Dortoh 20 Strange and Dortch bought their stock after they were appointed Directors. Although democracy now had control of the Board of Directors; and the Governor's favorites who ha<l much use for the road, held the nice privilege of traveling on it, and the rest of tho Railroads in and out of the State as much as they pleased, without pay-ing any thing, and receiving on an average, above 813 per day for each Director, for every day he attended a meeting of tho Di-rectors, some of them not having contribu-ted a dollar towards the stock, this was not enough. The President was a Whig. JJis salary was $2500 a year. It was resolved j that a democrat must have this post. There | was much difficulty in bringing this about. Gov. BL hail subscribed largely to the woik, had exerted all his powerful intellect and untiring industry, to get the stock subscrib-ness men of the State, and was economising the funds of the company. This latter qual-ity, so essential to the public interest in the head of such a work, was rendering him un-popular with many of the contractors and the clamor made by them and their friends, furnished a pretext for his removal—but how was it to bo done ? Some honest democrats believed that the public interests required that ho should be retained in his post. It was necessary to obtain some Whig votes.— John C. McRae was a Whig. He and his company could cast 885 votes in a stockhol-ders meeting. They had had a heavy con-tract on the road, amounting to about 8600,- 000. By tho terms of their contract, the Chief Engineer was to be sole judge of the sufficiency of their work. They were to receive payment upon his certificate, that their work was done according to contract. The Chief Engineer asserts, and no ono has contradicted it, that these contractors diso beyod his orders—that much of their work was badly done—that he "disapproved" much of their work—that tho Board of Di-rectors was frequently apprised of tho trou-ble and difficulty these contractors gave him. They set up a claim to a much larger amount than they would have been entitled to receive, if the work had been done accor-ding to contract. The Engineer would not approve this work, much less allow this claim to an extra allowance. It their vote could be had, there was a reasonable chance of turning out Mr. Morehead, and putting in Mr. Fisher. If democracy could invent some way, against tho wishes of the Engineer and the President, to put into their pockets, the large sum they demanded, it could not bo expect- d that they could do other than re-turn their kindness by voting for Mr. Fisher, especially, if the latter was active himself in getting this bounty bestowed on them.— I contract,; if tho work had been well done.— It was given to them. No reason was as-signed f»r the git. What next? At the next anjiual meet.ng, in July 1855, John C. McRae I Co., cast their 885 votes for Chas. , for President, and against Gov. L Morelnad had used his efforts to m to the r contract. He must be Fisher ttad generously made them F. Fishe Morehet hold th punishei He a handst ne gratuity out of the Treasurv.— bo rewarded. We n< w come i.o tho Report o Joint Bddbt Committee to Enquire into the M nagement of the Western North Caro-lina L tilroad. Tho j )int select committee, to whom was refered ^ resolution of tho two Houses of the G»njeral Assembly, directing them to enquire into the management of the Wes-tern North Carolina Rail Road Company, submit tiie following report: Tho committee have not had time to make anything like a thorough examination, ot either the financ.t l condition, or the man-agement) of the said road. The facts which thej- are; about to submit, have been obtained from the statements, not under oath, made bv the President, and Engineer, and from certain vritten dot laments which accompany their report. Their investigations have been confined! exclusive!" to that part of tho road from Haile'e to Moi'ganton. It appears from t;ie reports and statements of the Chief Engiroor, that the estimated cost of tho work, tram Ilaile's to Morganton, was sis hundred and sixty thousand dollars, and the distance 23 45-100 miles. These es-timates were mado.in 1856, and submitted to tho stockholders CHI the 31st of August of that year. By the provisions of the original and amended charters, individuals aud cor-porations, who we:-!} solvent, wero required to subscribe one-third of tho estimated cost of tho work and pay in cash 5 per cent, ol the amount, by them respectively subscribed, and thereupon, upon the certificate of those facts bylthe President aud Treasurer of the compan ■ under the seal of tho corporation, the boa -d of Internal Improvements is re-j • 'rio,_r »to~ *th!.i;s„, ttvh.,e v-«o*te.. o«fr Jio„hun^ Cr<.

Without consultation with tho Engineer, whose skill and fairness wero not at any time, called in question by the Directors, or the Company, a committee was appointed on the 19th December, 1854, consisting of R. M. Saunders, N. G. Rand, W. T. Dortch, and Chas. F. Fisher, to settle this contract—all democrats and ono of them, the intended successor of Gov. M. They knew the Engi-neer disapproved the work. Assuming that they thought his disapproval proceeded from caprice or personal dislike to the contrac-tors, they should have dismissed him, or at all events, employed some other Engineer, amount.! On the iOth of August, 1858, a certificate, stating that two hundred and twenty thousand dollars had been subscribed, as was provided in ;^ho amended charter, by the eOuBty of Bortte and by another putty, and that 5 per cent! had been paid into the Treasury of said company, and that the parties snaking th< subscription wero abun-dantly solvent, was made by R. C. Pearson, Prst., arid R. F. Siiionton, Treasurer, with the se:d of the corporation attached. A copy of the certificate it thereto annexed, marked A. Tho 'facts in regard* to these subscriptions, as far as tho comni ttce have been able to ascertain them, are is follows : In pursuance of the provisions clj the amended charter, a proposition was n?:lde by the county court of Burke to tho p.jople of that county to skilled in such work, to have examined and , subscribe 9100,000 ») the stock of tho Wcs reported on it; but this might have fruslra- I tern North Carolina Railroad, which was re-ted their design. The Engineer s-ys the ; jected by a majority of tho qualified voters. ,., _. ,. .. .. . „„ Subsequently another proposition was by committee d.d not consult h.m, that no one (^ -JIJJ >ahrnil,td J g^ to fiub.seril/e of them invited him to appear before them— i fifiy thousand dollirs, and upon the vote be-and ho did not appear before them or make [ ing taken, a majority of the qualified voters to them, any communication on this subject, j cast their votes in javor of it. It was insis- Jttdgo Saunders certifies that Col. Gwynn ; tod, by those who 1-cre opposed to the stib- e , , . ... . .. - ,, ; scnption that the bounty Court ot Burke, attended the committee, and gave them full ; ^j^ submitle(J 0lie proposition to the peo-cxplanation on every point, in regard to tho j pje 0f thje county, aud that having been re-contract and the nature of the claim. In ijcctcd, their power a the premises was cud some of the judge's letters, according to my ed, and before any Ijonds were issued, a bill of injunction was s'led out, restraining the authorities of Burse county from issuing said bunds, and thai is now pending in the Sible, if they had acted without consulting Supreme Court. I ' regard t,o the subsc-ip-him. Col. Gwynn says this statement is out: tion of one hundr-l and seventy thousand and out untrue, as to his attendance, or giv- \ dollars by another thdividnal, that individu- . . , , . ,. •■,„„ „_„„„ al is Charles F. Fisher, Esq., Prst. ol the „,g, or being asked by the committee, or any I %. Q llaiW()a± T3 wa'8 8t^led t0 U9) that member ot it, to give any information In re- frag^t efforts weije made to obtaiti sub-recollection, ho says, in substance, that the committee would have been very reprehen-lation to the matter. Which of these state-ments is true? No one who has read with care, their statements, and the certificates accompanying them, can be left in doubt.— It is admitted, they were reprcshensible, if they did not consult him. Each merabor of the committee, makes a written statement. Mr. Rand thinks ho was on the committee.— Thinks: This implies that he is in doubt whether he was a member of the committee, but he remembers that Col. Gwynn attended. Mr. Fisher rambles round tho point—makes statements contradictory to thoso he had published in reply to Mr. Worth; and Mr. Dortch remembers nothing. Why was a committee appointed to take this settlement out of tho Engineer's hands, if it was to be based on his statements and estimates?— The contract provided that he was to settle it. Tho appointment of tho committee in scriptions to prosecute tho work, all ol which wjere unavailing. Of this there can bo no doubt. Finajiy Mr. Fisher, after ma-king other propositions, which were declin-ed, proppsed to subscribe tho remainder of the stock necessaryjto obtain tho subscrip-tion on the part of.She State, and take the whole contract from Ilaile's to Morganton at the estimates, 'jlhese terms were accept-ed by tho company and Mr. P. subscribed tho stock, and the contract was awarded to him on the 10th oi'June, 1858, and ho en-tered into bond wi.jiout security to do the work. The subscription and the contract were contemperaneKus and dependent acts. It is not pretended Ijo would have inuHo the subscription without! the contract. As there have bcc,n some insinuations that tho esti-mates were made specially with reference to the contract with Mt. Fisher, tho committee in this connection deem it due to truth and justice to say, then is no evidence from which any such inference can bo drawn.— Tho contrary is abundantly clear. WheUi-itsclf, proves that it was to be taken out of or Mr. Fisher would be "abundantly" sol-ids hands. It would have been inconsistent vent for one hundred and seventy thousand dollars, this coium '.tee do not know, and having no evidence before them, are unable to express any opinion. With respect to toe payments of live per cent, upon tho subscriptions made by the and nonsensical, to take it out of his hands, and then base the settlement upon his state-ments. If he had been consulted, why did not their report state this fact? Each member ol the committee has tho reputation of a bus-ness man. Why did they not give some rea-son for the conclusion al which they arrived ? They say the stockholders and the public were satisfied with their decision. Did the stockholders or the public even sec the rc~ port, till tho investigating committee of the Legislature reported it? If they did seo it, Low could they judge whether it was just or unjust? Not a solitary fact or reason is given, on which they found their award. If the stockholders and public wero satisfied, it was blind acquiescence. If the Engineer had at-ended, and sanctioned their doings, tho fact ought to have appeared, and would have ap-peared in their report. All the surrounding circumstances, and the siatements of Gov. Morehead and Mr. Miller, Chief Assistant En-gineer, fully corroborate Col. Gwynn. The committee then, knowing that tlio Chief En-gineer disapproved the work, allow full pay for it, and make a donation of more than 36000 to these contractors. It ia strictly a county ol Burke aiid Mr. Fisher, the facts, as far as the committee can ascertain them, are as follows: First, as to tho county of Burke. Tho chairri..in of tho county court drew a draft on the]county trustee for twen-ty- five hundred dollars. That draft was not paid then, nor has it been since. Unless that draft was a payment n cash, no such payment upon tho part of thebounty of Burke ever has been made; indeedl as stated in a previous part of this report) whether tho county of Burke has made a'uy subscription binding upon her, is yet to M settled by the judicial tribunals of tho country. The majority of the committee haveja very clear and decided opinion as to whethjer there WM in fact, and in law, any payment whatever, made by the county of Burke, bi t they refrain from ex-pressing that opinibn, out of deference to one of their numl;cr. In relation to the payment by Mr. ltishcr of five per cent, upon his subscription of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars, it is stated by the President of the read, that on account of previous transactions between the Company and Mr. Fisher, the.y were indebted to him more than five per bant, on his stock; that no actual payment being deemed au id pjas made by Mr. P., it e ceremony, to pay him the amount which the corporation owed him and immediately receive it back. The orig-inal of Mr. Pearson's letter in relation to these payments marked B., is herewith sub-mitted, tho object of the committee being to do entire justice to all tho parties concerned. They also submit a detailed statement of the estimates mado by the engineer, marked C. Of tho correctness of these estimates, the committee have no means of enabling them to form any opinion. They are not Engineers, and if they were, many of tho items depend so much upon the character of tho country through which tho road passes, without an examination, they would bo to-tally unabie to judge of their correctness.— They will remark this, however, that at the timo when the estimates were made, iron was higher by some eight or ten dollars per ton. than when Mr. Fisher took the contract, which was on the IOth June, 1658. The es-timates for the excavation of rock, it will be observed, are a little over six to ono for the whole estimate for that part of the road.— As we have before observed, this strikes us as being large, larger than would be found to be the met upon any railroad in the coun-try. Again, in regard to the amount of iron for turn outs. It is put down at eight per cent., and amounts to 811,023. This seems to the committee as being a very liberal, if not an extravagant amount for that part of the road. Of this, however, the members of tho General Assembly are quite as compe-tent to judge as the committee, unless they had some data, upon which to form their opinions. In closing this report, the committee feel it their duty to call the attention of the Gen-eral Assembly to the necessity ol providing some more reliable mode of ascertaining, in cases where tho State is to subscribe to pub-lic works, upon tho conditions that Individ-uals and corporations who are solvent have previously subscribed, and have paid in cash a certain part of llieir subscriptions, that those conditions have been complied with than now exists. We understand VAJ board of Internal Improvements, upon a certificate made to them by the President and Trees urer of the corporation with its seal attach-ed, that tho conditions precedent have been performed, feel bound to direct the Public- Treasurer to subscribe on behalf of the State. Now the facts disclosed in this case, show how deficient tho law is. It may be, the highest judicial tribunal of this State will hold that the subscription mado or rather attempted to be made on behalf of the coun-ty of Burke is void. It may turn out in others, if not in this case, that the certificate of the Solvency of the individual subscribers is false. Vet according to tho construction of this charter, and others like it, it an in-solvent man,not worth live hundred dollars. was to suhscribe two hundred thousand, and a President and Treasurer corrupt enough to certify ho was solvent and had paid five per cent, in cash, could bo-found, the board of Internal Improvements would be bound to direct the Public Treasurer to make the subscription for the State. Tho certificate ought to bo mado under oath. Besides and beyond this, the board ought to have power, and it should be made their duty in all cases where they had the least doubt, to examine and ascertain the binding obligation of the subscriptions, the solvency of the subscri-bers, and also whether the cash payments required to be made, were really, truly and bona fide made. To enable them to make this investigation, the board should have power to ex;.mine witnesses on oath. There are other views in regard to the manage-ment of our public works, which have sug-gested them-elves to tho committee, but deeming them not within the scope ol the investigation, which they were directed to make, they retrain from any remarks upon them. Whether any, and if so, what steps should be taken in view of tho lacts disclosed by this report to protect the interest of tl.e State, the committee deem it most proper to leave to the General Assembly, without any recommendation on their part. All of which is respectfully submitted. DAVID OUTLAW, for the Committee, (A.) OrriCE or Tin: WESTERN N. C. R. It. CoMfNY, 1 Morgantoo, N. I'.. August 10th, ltf.'iH. / We the undersigned President and Treas-urer of the Western North Carolina Railroad Company, do hereby certify that in conform-i'y with tho provision of an act ol the Gene-ral Assembly of North Carolina, entitled "an act to amend the act incorporating tho said Western North Carolina Railroad Company," that the sum ol f$220, >) two hundred and twenty thousand dollars was tho amount de-termined on by the Board of Directors of said company as necessary to be subscribed by private individuals, or by counties, to carry out and comply with the 1st and 2nd sections of said amended act. We further certify that the said sum of two hundred and twenty thousand dollars has been sub-scribed as provided in said act by thecount\ of Burke, and by another party, on which subscription 5 per cent, has been paid into I ho treasury of said Western North Carolina Railroad Company, and which said county and part}- making subscriptions are regarded by the company as abundantly solvent. In testimony whereof, R. C. Pearson, Esq., President of said company, and li. F. Simon-ton, treasurer thereof, have hereunto signed their names and affixed the seal ot said cor-poration, the da}- and year first above writ-ten. R. C PEA2SON, Pres. li. P. SLMONTON. Treas. Tho above is a true cony from tho books of the Board of Internal improvements. GRAHAM DAVES. January 17th, 1859. (B.) RALEIGH, N. C, Jan. List, I860. W. I- 8teele, Esq., Chairman, A SlH:—I have the honor in compliance with your request to (tarnish yon with the tacts connected with the payment by Chas. F. Fisher Esq., of the 5 per cent, on 1.700 shares subset-;bed by him to the capital or joint stock of tho Western North Carolina Railroad Company. Mr. Pisher had subscribed stock liberally when the books were opened under the orig-inal charter, and becanu a contractor at the first letting ot contracts for a large amount of work. The company had likewise made I a contract with him to lay the tract from Salisbury to Statesville. Mt it OfMr. Fisher's work was completed, and the residue in much forwardness at the timo the additional stock was taken, for buil-ding the road from Hade's store to Morgan-ton, and the company WUB in his debt more or less from tho time he commenced operations. When Mr. Pisher came forward to pay tho first instalment of 5 percent, on said 1700 shares of stock before the subsc-iption by the State, tho company owed him (as wellas I now recollect) over $11,000. 1 did not consider it necessary to pay over o him $8,500 on accouut of what was duo him. and receive it back at tho same instant, nor to require him to go through the samo formn with respect to tho 5 per cent, due fro ■ him. The five per cent, on tho 500 sharus sub-scribed by the county of Burke, wa« raid by a draft drawn by Thomas G. Waitoi , Esq.. chairman of the connty court, (by whom the subscription on behalf of the oour-.ly had been mado) as the county trustee, >r' tho person having tho custody of the jjo.intv bonds, and this draft for 82,500 was accepted by the treasurer as cash, and he charged himself with the amount on the books of tho company. These payments by Mr. Fisher and by the county of Burko wero made bofore t te cer« tificato was mado to the Governor and Board ot Internal Improvements, under which the State made her subscription. I may hero add t'.iat in the contract mado with Mr. Fisher for building the rou I from Ilaile's to Morganton, ho agrees to joke at par the $50,000 of bonds issued by th < nan* ty of Burke in payment of her subst»i| lion, so that the transaction with respect to tho first instalment on tho Burko suhtc;r] ition was tantamount to a cash transaetiot , even if it should be held that live per cent, ii ac-tual cash should bo paid to tie company iu such cases.

K..E.K. From the certificate ot the President of the Western Railroad Company, it sppean that Mr. Fisher had subscribed stock Iberai-ly where the books were opened undjer the original charter, and became a coiitlactor, at the first letting of contracts, for r! large amount of work. The Company likewise mado a contract witn him to lay the track from Salisbury to Statesville. Qej tays, when Mr. Fisher camo forward to pay tho 5 percent, on his $170,000 Babecriptkjn, tin- Company owed him, he thinks, overall 000. It is, from tl 's, to be inferred that Mt Fish, er had paid that first liberal subscription, and had done work lor which there was then due to him from the Company, morn than $11,000. When he came forward to p iy tho 5 per cent, does not app.ar; but, WS must presume, it was before the loth of \ugust 1858. IIo had entered into this new con-tract, 10th June, 1868. Had he d< ne no work on the new contract, for which ;i part Ot this SI 1.000, was due him ? 1 am unable to say ; but, as we are bound to and) island from iho certificate of the officers oi the Company, in the absence ol any proot to tho contrary, that ho was abundantly solvent for S170.000, wo will take it that ho had paid his subscription tor stock, and tl at tin) Company bona tide owed him, then dt e, for work dono on other portions of the road, the sum stated. Now it is Irrational to suppose that ■ man of his wealth, having such heavy contracts on the Western N. C. I.'oad, should t i-ent to act as President of the North Carolina Railroad, requiring all his time, whereby he could not give, both to his contracts and to his duties as Pros.dent, the undivided at-tention which each required. He purports to be solo contractor. With a contract, amounting to $860,000, on his hand I, can any rational man believe that he wou I con-sent to be President of the North Carolina road and perform the duties of road-master, as well as President, for $25O«J a year. Was there no other motive impelling him ! Had he any partners in these heavy contracts ?— If he had, why arc they secret partners!— Tho writer has consulted men whom he be-lieves to bo competent judges, who aaj that tiiis contract from Male's to Morganton will leave 850.000 net profits to the con actor and his subscriptions, and the subscription of the county of Burke:—that is, tin work will cost $50,000 less than the subscription by tho State. In this con net lion look at ta-i bl<: No 13 annexed to Worth's Bep >rt.— | While the North Carolina Company is pay* ing * per cent on bo ids, the Western North Carolina Company ma a running acooant ; from June ls57 to Dec. ulst, 185*, slowing ' balance ot $81,606 81, due to the North Car-olina Railroad.
