travelling between Whstlingand Balti

Virginia, which will necessarily greatly
increase the travelling on the Nortt
Western Turnpike Road from Rom
ney TO Winchester, as well as on the
Winchester and Harpers' Ferry Raj
Road, thereby adding ac immense sum
to the tolls 10 be collected on said road
and yielding to the State handsome
profit on the money already expended
in these mprovements.-As the money
which will be required to construct sale
road and bridges will amount to but q
very small sum, and the advantages to
this mountain region as well as TO the
Valley counties and the counties below
the Blue Ridge Mountains, will be al
most incalculable, tke undersigned can
not doubl for moment ihatyour hon

provide for tue making said road at an
early day, and The undersigned will

term. He wished to retire from public
life, and seek repose in the domestic

Difference to the will Of his constituents,
which he has always evineed, his career
