From the Wilmington Journal
 
November 11, 1862
 
Meeting of the Board of Internal Improvements
   At a meeting of this body on Saturday last, the following appointments were announced:
   Wilmington & Weldon Road -- State Directors -- W. W. Breckle, of Halifax, in place of Mr. Whitaker; George W. Collier, of Wayne, in place of W. K. Lane; Wm. A. Wright, of Wilmington, reappointed.
   State Proxies -- T. D. Meares proxy for the State, Wilmington & Manchester Road; O. G. Parsley, State proxy Wilmington & Weldon Road.
   We take the above from the Raleigh Journal of yesterday, and may here add that it is news to us that any such meeting had been held. Some days ago we received an official notification to attend a meeting of the Board on the 6th of December, but have received none to attend any meeting in November. Perhaps the notification may have been sent, but certainly it never reached us.
   We make this statement in order that the matter may be fairly understood, and because we do not wish to be in any way responsible for action which we had no hand in bringing about, and part of which, at least, does not meet our views. We do not say this from any factious feeling, but because, humble as we are, we yet think it due to ourselves not to occupy a false position.
