ted under The auspices OF Washington, with
a view to that object, duly appreciated its
importance. But they and their successors
have found difficulties in the way, which9it
required much time and labor to surmount.
The ardor with which the enterprise was
first undertaken gradually subsidized the
propretors of the stock, disappointed in
their early golden dreams, became wearied
by the unexpected obstacles to their pro-
gress the first efforts of the company. also
may, perhaps, have been ipjudiciously Drum
probably directed. The obectitself how
ever, so far from losing any OF its importance
has assumed, in the course of a few years. a
magnitude more imposing than ever. The
thanks ofthe country are due to the tew VINO
have persevered to the end in their efforts.
Under their auspices, the good work has
thriven ia degree, and would continue TO
improve. But, unless aided by public OPT
Mon and by enlarged funds, we have feared
it would. notwithstanding all their exerhons,
drag on heavily.
It's therefore, with unfeigned satistac-
ton we have observed that the subject has
at length engaged the attention OF SOME m
tellgen; gentlemen of Virginia, as well be-
yond as on this side the Blue Ridge. 1t is
in their power to achieve what is wanting,
especially if aided, as we have no doubt
they would be, by that part OF Mary land
whose interest is, in this respect at least,
identified with theirs. Our district would
throw in its mite, were it not already drain
ed OF almost its last dollar for public under
takngs of great utility, and of magnitude
which, considering our limited resources, is
really splendid.
Two essays, ii no more, appearto have
been published previously to that which is
in the Winchester Republican of Saturday
last, now lying before US. The object OF
the writer's on this subject, though they do
not seem 10 agree on soTe minor points, is to
obtain concentration OF the sentiment OF
those Immediately interested in the naviga-
ton OF the Potomac, as preliminary step
to more effectual measures for possessing
themselves OF one OF the greatest facilities
or advantages which nature has placed with
in their reach The more effectual mea-
sures spoken of are supposed to refer to an
application to the eniis hlened Legislature Of
Virginia 10 take the great work in hand, or
at least afford to il some little OF that aid
which il has bountituily dispensed to the
the much less important navigation of James
