I propose, by leave of the board of di-rectors,
to make to your Kxce lency, for the

of the affairs of this company, embra-cing
various statements, abstracts and tables.
To prepare these latter being J. labor of some

RALEIGH, December 18th, 1858.
Chan. Fisher, Esq.,
President of the X. C. Ii. R. Company—
Sir:—The undersigned having been ap-pointed
a joint committee of the General As-sembly,
now in session, to inquire into and
report upon the financial condition and gen-eral
management and prospects of the N. C.
Railroad Company, have organized and arc
ready to enter upon the ditties assigned them;
but in consideration of jour letter of the 8th
inst., addressed to Gov.'Bragg, and by him
transmitted to this committee, we have re-solved
to postpond the commencement of the
investigation till the 4th of January next..
To enable us to make the investigation
proposed, it is necessary to havo the books
— - ...1.. ...
of the company before us, and we therefore
request you, with your secretary and treas-urer,
to appear before ns at the Governor's
office, in the capitol, at 4 o'clock p. m., on
the 4th day of January next, with all the
books of the company, and the bonds given
by officers and employees of the company
lor tho discharge of their respective duties.
We conceive it to be our duty, under tie
resolution referred to, to examine your by
lav/s, the proceedings of all the meetings
held by the stockholders and directory, and
all other books and papers enabling us to
perform fully the duty assigned to us.
We give you this early notice, because we
are aware that your charter contains no pro-vision
authorizing the General Assembly to
investigate the affairs of your Company, and
we presume you will deem it necessary to
consult your Directory before complying
with this request; and because we wish to
give you a reasonable time to prepare for
the enquiry.
Very respectfully yours,
[Signed by the members of the committee.]
PBESIDEST'S OFFICK N. 0. RAILROAD, ^
SALISBURY, Dec. 22, 1S5S. )
GENTLEMEN : I have had the honor to re-ceive,
within this hour, your letter of date
the 18th inst., explaining your wishes as a
"Joint committe of the General Assembly
to enquiry into and report upon the financial
condition, general management and pros-pects
of the North Carolina Railroad Com-pany."
1 notice the appointment of the commit-tee,
and havo waited, expecting to receive a
notification of what might be their pleasure.
It will afford me the greatest satisfaction
to observe your wishes as to the material for
conducting your enquire, and to give you
every posible aid in the same. The treasur-er
and secretary will be also in attendance
on your meetings.
I consider it by no means necessary to con-sult
the Board of Directors (according to
your suggestion) touching this matter, for
although, as you remark, our charter does
not authorize such an investigation in terms,
yet, as a State work, this right must belong
to tho soverucign power, and most clearly
may be and ought to bo exercised at its
pleasure. I am <juitc sure that the board
would bo prompt and unanimous in directing
me to afford you every posible aid and facili-ty,
and that their desire would be fas in fact
they so informally expressed to me, at a late
meeting,) to have the enquiry most thorough,
full and satisfactory.
The report, which I signified to the govern-or
my intention of making, has been delay-ed,
owing to my necessary absence from
home, and from my being unat-lo to give it
my time and attention. 1 shall proceed to
make it in a short time, but had not suppos-ed
it could bo of value to your committee,
except perhaps as a statement for enquiry
and reference.

of the 0th inst., and in answer
would state that the settlement with Messrs. J.
C. MeRae & Co., as contractors on the North-
Carolina Railroad, was made by a committee
of the board of directors in accordance with
an order of the board of directors, as 1 was
informed at the time.
In consequence of this order, the cheif en-gineer
had nothing to do with ihe settlement
that 1 am aware of, and the only connection
I had~with it was at the request of the pres-ident
to assist in making out some statement
relative to the account, and to appear before
the committee and answer such questions as
was asked, none of which referred to tho ex-ecution
of the work.
Yours very respectfully,
JAMES MILLER
(No. 5.)
CHARLESTON S. C. Jan. 12 1859.
DEAR SIR :—I am in receipt of your com-munication
of the 5th instant. In reply, I
have only to say that I disapprove of much
of the work done by Messrs. John C. Me-
Rae & Co., on tho North Carolina Rail Road.
The masonry for the bridge over the Ncuso
and the culverts, were badly built. The
culvert, which gave away and caused the
accident, resulting in tho death of Mr. Hol-land,
tho conductor of tho freight train, re-ceived
my particular condemnation; and
through Mr. James Miller, the principal as-sistant
engineer, it was directed to be rebuilt.
The track was generally badly laid.
From tho begining to tho completion of
the track, there was a constant strife be-tween
the engineer and the contractors;
they repeatedly refused to obey tho orders
of the engineer, and it was with the great-est
difficulty that I could get them to do any
portion of the work properly.
I have no recollection of making any writ-ten
report to the board of directors in regard
to the misconduct of Messrs. John C. MeRae
& Co, but I frequently apprised the board
of the trouble and difficulty which they gave
me; their behaviour was such that 1 broke
on'all personal intercourse with them, and
communicated my instructions to them in
writing.
I have no recollection that 1 was consult-ed
by the committee of the board appointed
to settle the accounts of Messrs. John <' Me-
Rae ft Co. The account between the compa-ny
and their contractors, was so frequently ]
referred to in connection with communica- '
tions to tho board, from them, that I have
no doubt every member of tho board was
furnished with its details.
Tho committee for the settlement of tho
account of Messrs. John C. MeRae ft co., was
appointed without any consultation with me.
I made no complaint, nor did I make any
inquiry as to the motive for taking the set-tlement
out of my hands; I infOrred. it was
done at the solicitation of the contractors,
and probably with tho view of relieving mo
of a position, in which my motivos might be
assailed, as J had no personal intercourse
with tho contractors.
I am sir, yours very respectfully,
WALTER GWYN.
