An able correspondent in the last Carolinion
advocates the building of Rail Road from Fay
etteville to Warsaw, in Duplin, to unite with
the Wilmington Road, and seems to throw cold
water upon the proposed Road between Raleigh
and Fayetteville. He says: "The people of Ra-
leigh may tell us fattering tales ofthe advantages
we should receive, [by establishing this Road.l
but who that has watched the course Of things,
can for moment suppose thai such tales will be
.veri6ed2 Indeed, from the whole scope and tone
OF the writer, we should say he had his eye more
Immediately directed to Turnpike from IFayette-
vile to the West. This, he thinks, would help
much to secure to Fayetteville good portion of
the trade ofthe State" Now, we do not pretend
to speak for the capitalists of Raleigh, nor do we
offer any thing in the shape of areply to the COR
respondent just mentioned; but one thing we will
say, and that is, that the Road, in our opinion
will most certainty go on, after whle-wilhin
what time we do not venture to predict-to the
South Carolina line and that it is for the people
of Fayetteville to say whether they will have it
go oy their doors or not. -


We have been politely furnished, by gentle
man most competent to make it, with an estimate
of the probable cost of Rail Road between this
place and Fayetteville, which we lay before our
readers:
