THE FRENCH BROAD RAILROAD. SI
We learn fro.n iho Attheville Aries that llie
people of North Carolina are becoming interested ^
in the project of the French Droud lluilroad.?
They have reoently had a meeting at Asheville "e"
to consnlt as to the best time to usnrmble llie ^or 1
people of the whole county with a view of having
a full and free iuterchang* of opinion upnu llot
the proposition of a county subscription to this ^nst
Road. I)y a resolution passed at this meeting, "l)e(
a general Convention of the people of Buncombe 1
county will be held at Asheville, in April, to con- *
sider the propriety of making a county subscrip- w'1'
t ion. g',v<
In the report given by the tfete*, M. N. Wood, froi
fin, who addressed the meeting, assured his II
hearera that the people of South Carolina would
generously assist iu building the Road. This may j
be true, if he means that assistance will be af- the
forded by private subscription. \Ve think, how- ced
ever, he ia in error, if he means to convey the !,,e^
idea that the State will afford material aid.? 0|- ,
Such would be an irrational conclusion in the | tcre
face of the late acLion of our LfirinlnliirA nnon I boit
the Blue Ridge Railroad measure. If the Stale
in reference to the Blue Ridge Rail rood, after
one million of her own money had been expen- afto
dnd, with a like 8um belonging to her citizens, furl
suffer it to be an entire failure for want of means,
then it would be scarcely probable that she
would lavish her millions upon a new enterprise
having the same object as that which would be otlt
attained by the Blue Ridge Road.
SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT.
It will be seen by reference to the advertise- ^
ment of Mr. R. J. White that he has purchased ue
that portion of the Burnt District owned by grci
Mra. Allkh, upon which lie intends to erect a ",ir3
building that will be an ornament to our village,
and a lasting monument to the liberality of its fori
builder. The building is to be composed of four nect
Store Rooms, all of which have been already
leased?Mr. WniTC hiroself.occupying on? room.
and two others by Messrs Wilr ?fc Lytiksok, thai
and Mr. A. A. Williams; we have not been clia
informed who will occcupy the fourth room.? J''?J
Mr. J. 1). Daly, we are informed, has been em- ^
ployed as Aclntect, which is a sufficient guarauty Und
that the design of the building will one of beauty To
and taste. The building will perhaps be coin- 'l'1"
pletedin the couree of six months.
Mr. J. A. Ai.lkn, we understand, will build |1(1
a store upon his lot ndjoining, which will make it, i
an entire Block of fivo largo uteres. These "el
buildings will occupy the larger portion of the jVJ
Burut District, and we have heard it intimated |(lst"
thai the remaining portion will be built up during nvii
the present year. We hope it may prove true. "I"!

The Poet Master General has recently pub- "ve
