The Central Railroad Directors met this morning and declared the usual semi-annual dividend 4 per cent, paynble on and after December 23. This will be welcome news to the doubting spirits who were afraid that they were going to bo deprived of the pleasure of drawing part of their income from that source this month. The payment of the dividend will put 6300,000 in circulation. That is about tho amount required for this purpose semi-annually. All tho resident directors and Mr. H. T. Inman and Col. Phinizy were present. In addition to declaring tho dividend considerable routine work was done, none of which is made pub- lio. . Gen Alexander laughed when ref erence was made to the rumors about his resignation. “When I arrived this morning my attention was called to them,” said he, “but that was the first I knew about it. I haven’t editor resigned or thought abouFdoing such a thing.” The Central’s President laughed again when the reported sale of the Middle Georgia and Atlantic road was reforred to. “I hear that Col. Machen has some connection with a toad,” said he, "but that is about all- There have been no negotiations between him, or any other persons representing the projected road, and the Central. There has been no sale, and no efforts on the part of the Cen tral to buy it.”—Savannah Times. LEVY’S The Asheville Convention. The Inter-State Immigration Con vention, just held in Asheville, was largely attended. The object of the convention was to make the southern atates-their soil,climate, resources,ad vantages, etc.—better known and to induce immigration from the North aud West. The following resolutions, which were introduced early in the proceedings ot the convention, sets lorta very clearly the sentimennt and feeling of the people of these states : Resolved, That the war between the sections is ended and all bitter remembrances thereof are forgot- ton. Resolved, That on the map of the world and in the southern heart, the United States is one nation, bound together by every tie of commercial interests and of brotherly, love; Resolved, That we, citizens of tho southern part of this, the grandest nation the world ever saw, extend to our brothers in the North and West the right hand of fellowship and in vite them to como and make their homes among us, and aid to develop ing this the richest country in natu ral resources and most favored in cli— toai’o and location of any section on the t ace of the earth. Ret olved, That wo recognize no po litical East, no political West, no po litical North and no political South; that on der a common banner and in a comm on country we pledge our selves to every honest effort to the up- bnilding of this nation, of which the Gouth is the most favored by naturo and nature’s God.
