few days since a resolution passed the House
OF Delegates ordering a survey between Frede-
neksburg aud Alexandria, for McAdam-
zed or gravelled road. The almost impossible
condition of the present road during the winter
months, will render this improvement one of
very great value to that section of the State
And when it is considered that it will be very
frequently, during the winter, the oniy route by
winch travellers on the projected Railway be-
tween ", this city and Fredericksburg, can reach
', Washington, it becomes at once of the very
slgnest Importance. We would call the atten-
noa OF the friends of the Railway to this reso-
muon OF the Legislature, as one affecting their
Swn interests very advantageously. Those who

PEDIGREE.

VOLCANO was got by Stockbolder, his dam, the famous little mare Forest Maid ey hatray, of whom Mir. J c, Beasley said, she was the best nag of her size he had ever seen, and that she was !. friend 10 poor inan in strange county y'-after loslng on all his other horses, lie could. With confidence, bet his last dollar on her whenever she started for a four mile heat. Hls grandam was ti.e equally celebrated mare Mai of-tbe- Oaks, by imported Spread Eagle, one of the best four mile nags of her day in Virginia, his 2. grandam. which was also the dam of Nancy Air, was bv im- ported Sharh, g g. g. dam by Rockingham, g. 6. 2. g. dam by Gallant, q. q. q. g.g dam by True Whig, E. g. g. E. g. f. dam by Regulus
 Of otockholder, VOLCANOES sire, it IS unnecessary to say auglt; he is too we'll known as racer aud stallion, to require the prop of long pedigree. It may not De atniss, however. to state, that he was got by old sir Archy, and his dam by I'm ported Citizen, the best blood that Ameri- ca Can boast. Ratray, the sire of Volca- no $ dam, was by the imported horse Cliff den; hls dam by F,tzpartner; his grandam Araminna, who was got by Brimmer out of Mr Peyton RandoIph's celebrated mare Lovely Lass.
 Imported Spread Eagle, was got by vol- nnteer, his dam by High Flyer, grandam by Engineer, ou, uf the dam of Bay Mall t,n and freasurers she was got by Cade. out of the Lass of the Mill, by Old Ira. weller.
 Spread Eagle is unpopular with many sportsmen; but l would ask, what horse has a better pedigree ,and what imported horse has got as many capital racers IL is enough to say, that Spread Eagle was tie sire ot the Maid of-lhe Oaks, Paragon. Ad- cline, Red Eye, and Eleden's Forctta; all winners of severe four mile races, con
 tending with the best horses of Virginia. Fiaretta made better time owe, fhe Wash- ington course than was ever made before or since, heating. in ityee heais, T op 6 ai- lant, Oscar, First Consul, and another; running each heat under eight minutes, and the second heat in seven minutes and fifty two seconds.
