INTERNAL IMpROyEMENT

From some articles in this weeks paper, in relation to
a contemplated railroad from the city Of Richmond 10 the
mouth Of Potomac Creek near TO Fredericksburg, and from
the interest recently takenin the James river and X anagha
improvement by the citizens OF Richmond, il will be OBJ
served with pleasure by the west that the expediency Of
the policy-an extended system Of internal improvements
under the patronage Of the State-for which we have
ever c%oniended, is no longer to be questioned by The east;
but That there is strong reason now to anticipate from
them their Jealous support aud cooperation. At the ap.
preaching session Of the legislature a company will pro.
badly be Incorporated, for the construction Of the proposed
road from Richmond to Fredencksburg, and but little doubt
seems TO be entertained that the stock will all be taken
and the road consequently in a convenient time completed.
When this work shall be finished, il is stated upon good

ANNIvERsARY or NDEPENDENcE.-Th fifth.
serenh anniversary Of that day which crowned the yr-
tuous and gallsnt struggle Of our fathers with the inesti-
mabIe blessings OF civil and religious liberty, was cele-
brated in our Borough with more than usual eclat. Much
OF the bfiIhancs and impression ofthe observance was con.
ferred by The military array, exceeding in numbers and
%splendour any thing heretofore produced by The spirited
efforts OF our volunteers, TO do honour TO the day. The
attraction Of the military display, always regarded with ia.
vor, from manifest considerations, was greatly heightened
and improved, by the addition to our former visitors Of the
corps OF Cavalry from st. Brides, commanded by Can't.
Samuel Doughty, entitled "Tbe Norfolk County Horse
Guards" and another of Light Infantry, commanded by
Capt. Arthur Smith, under The designation OF "The Deep
Creek Guards These admirable corps, superbly eouip.
ped, present a specimen Of the youthful manhood, and
martial pride of the County, which no officer could esteem
it a light honor TO command.
The dawn Of the proud day was . little overcast, caus.
ing some apprehension, that the preparations for display
and conviyiality, would be greatly marrcd but before
the hour OF parade, the clouds were dissipated and a more
brilliant day, or one Of finer temperature, could not have

tho stars and stripes were displayed from the public estab
