Raleigh anid Fayettvill were both represented. A report is. circulation here, the substance of which ji that Boston capitaiists have taken, or pr posed to take, a large anmount of stock ia the Metropolitan Rail Road; such a repor we learn, is in circulatioin in year State very much to the injury of our cause, i filling our friends with doubt, as to whic road will be built.- ThisrepJort .do'era wny what capital Iiss; we are thqrEfei left to infer. that itria..the game rnpa who pure ead the !'rtsmouth tie t n okce RLaM, : R.NSNAWi, Wa &' pA the report ways, no doubt, putt in clicula tit for the injury of our- R'ad, anud advance m~enL trhaepother,.[ have thought prope to put ycu in possession~ of facts, as w beulieve them, that you inay be enabled t counteract any evil effects that may grov *'ut of stich a report.
