   We are glad to see that since Mr. Webb has come into office {as President of the North Carolina RR}, a platform has been put down at the Western Depot; but a shelter is much needed, and the mud at present around the Depot baffles description. The horses attached to the various vehicles get through it with much difficulty -- what, then, must it be for foot passengers who dare its sticky depths? Let a shelter for the cars, omnibuses, and passengers be erected at once. The Roads are in a prosperous condition, and can well afford to do this work. We have been requested to call attention to the want of a shelter, and we expect to be requested to repeat the call again and again, especially as long as this bad weather continues.
