But 10 commence these or other improve
,nents with a prospect CT success IL is essential
that those Interested IN their accomplish meni
should Justly aud lully appreciate their inPor-
tance-thai information a 10 routes and expen-
scs be acuured-that Paus be drvised-ihat
concert aud CO opera ton bp obi ained-and that
confidence in the success OF the eff ri be infused,
as well from the cordially and unanimiIy with
winch il j, undertaken and supported, as from
,he prudence, steauiness and perseverance with
which the plan Is mltufed, the impulse given,
and the work commenced. These considera-
tions suggest the propriety Ola low MEET
ING, for the purpose OF adopting resolutions
expressive of our opinions OF the importance o!
these subjects, of our judgment rs to the pro-
priety OF procuring the information necessary
so the maturity OF plans, aud of appointing a
committee Of correspondence, to obtain The
co operation of,hose equally Interested in their
accomplishment. Let the Mayor be requested
TO call such meeting giving al least a weeks
previous notlce-and inviting he attendance
and cooperation OF the cltizeGs adjacent, whose
interest is promoted by the pros perlty OF Lynch
burg.
But, Messrs. Editors, let u7 not act as Vir-
.ginians have heretot done. Letus not rest on
our elbows AVID Wi5h u well, talk about plans and
means, add do nothing. But, throwing on the
lethatgy of our character, act with resolution,
energy aHd decision. Let ia not be deferred
by the magnitude OF the undertakings, nor BY
other obstacles-et us remember that the eu-
erses Of free and Intelligent people are real
y illimita6le-lhst, as 10 Improvements, the
means OF a community are always equal 10 ITS
merils-and let Us nos forget tie value ofthe
sake. Achieve thAN: works, aud the destiny
oi LynchbuTg is fixed. A CITIZEN.

Office Department will receive Proposals for
conveying the mail from this place to D"nVille

present once a week, on horseback. The
magnitude and Importance Of the route fully
Tarreai the change.
