they viii arouse themselves, and cooperate with the
citizens of Lynchburg in the execution OF this impor-

ture, the Public Engineer will soon be dispatched 10
survey the Route. He is now in this City-havine
just returned from surveying the country in the neigh
borhool ofthe Back River. The "Romney Intelligent
Ger" of the 30th ut. gives us also the following infor-
nation -
"Mr Shaw has been deputed by Mr.. Crozet, the
Public Engineer, to survey the route for the Parkers-
burg road. We understand, that he entered upon his
duties. on Thursday morning last, and will be in this
place on Monday next,-by way Of what is called the
changing Rock Road" between this and Winchester "
We cannot permit ourselves TO entertain one mo-
ment's doubt, that the citizens of Richmond will exert
themselves in behalf of the New River Rail. Road
1t has been proposed to call a town meeting, as soon
as the necessary information has been laid before them.
We have accounts from Lynchburg, sta ting in the
most satisfactory manner the firm determination Of her
citizens 70 promote the object. The interests of Lynch
burg and Richmond are the same-and they ought 10
move shoulder to shoulder together, with common coun-
sells and united resources.
We presume, that immediate exertions will be made
by the Board OF Public Works TO employ the Assistant
Engineer, as marked out in the Resolutions of the Cen
eral Assembly, for re-surveying the James River
We learn that a few of the citizens of Lynchburg are
beginning TO despair OF aay improvement being effected
on the James River by the ommonwealth-an that
they are turning their attention TO the Valley Road
and the Baltimore Market, as the means for carving OH
their tr.ffc with the sea. board This would indee
