'Ordered, Tha Wm. NJ Rives be appointed Acct
Of this b ,ari in copfof nifty w,,h the last resolution.
A meeting OF a large portion Of the citizens OF Wythe
county, have :" appointed a Committee OF "a members,
TO correspond with the surrounding counties, and a
Committee Of seven to prepare a Memorial to the Leg
islature OF Virginia, on the subject of extending the
l. %ynchburg and New River Rail- Road, through the
South Western part OF Virginia to the Tennessee line"
We may add, as another Of the Signs OF Internal I'm
provement, that " Messrs. Porter, Beden s. Go. have
recently commenced running a tally Stage, SUNDAYS
~excepted) from Staunton, by the Kanawha Turnpike,
to the Kentucky Inc, from which point the Mail and
Passengers are carried in Steamboats, to Cincinnati,
Ohio"
Tho Manchester Rail- Road is pushed with the great
est rapidity-and we understand, that in the course OF
three or four weeks, the Cars may be at work in the
transportation OF Coal.
We may borrow lights and encouragement from the
movements OF the other States. The Rail- Road Com
pany OF South Carolina, for example -" The whole ex-
tent Of the Road from Chdfiest1n) TO Hamburg, is 1875
miles, crossing the Edisto at the Forks, sixty miles
from Charleston or the latter port on all is under
contract, except about six miles, and these are mostly
In the swamps. Beyond the Edisto, only 81 of the 40
miles are under contract; the others were not finally
surveyed until a few days ago; offers Tor these are like
wise received. All, even the most extensive contract
1882. "
The average cost per mile of these contracts, for 80
miles, Is $500, exclusive OF iron, being less than the
estimate of DR.. Howard. On the article OF iron alone,
according to the late advices from Liverpool, he Com
pany will save : 400 per niie-that article having fallen
In value since the date of DIR. Towards estimate. The
whole expense per mile, including iron, transportation,
and contingencies, will be less than 3 $1,000"
The Locomotive Engine constructed by Mr.. +. l.
Miller, exceeds the most sanguine expectations of the
Dlrectors-The Company are extending their Views
to the trade OF tennessee and the upper part of Geor-
gia.-" Who can calculate (says the last ReporD the
