Roo6sxy.-On Tuesday night last, foot
traveller arrived in tins place, and put up at
the Central Hotel-informing the bar. keep
er that he should remain in town the next
day, he retired to bed On the same eve
ming the Rev. o. b. Brown, of W ashincton
City, also arrived at the same house, and
was put into room near that in which the
iootman lodged. In the morning Mr..
Brown discovered that he had been robbed
during the night Of his watch and about $40
IN money. Ii was also discovered that the
stranger had all at once, during the night,
changed his arrangements, and taken his
passag. IN the Staunton stage. Suspicion
Immediately rested upon him, and a war
rant was procured, and several gentlemen
set out in pursuit. la the course Of few
hours news arrived that suspicion Of a sim
liar kind had been excited at Culpeper Court
House, and other places, where this indi-
vidual had stopped on his way here-and so
strong were the cOnjectures that he had been
engaged in the late incendiary depredaiions
in Alexandria, that reward of 5000 was
offered for his apprehension. Several gem
tlemen from Culpeper county passed through
here yesterday in pursuit-and we learn
from the driver Of the S,aunton stage, that
when he passed the stage from this place on
Tuesday, near Waynesboro, the indivdua
IN question: was on The drivers box, and tho
gentlemen from this place in pursuit OF him
were only about TWO miles behind. We
have therefore no doubt he is ere This in the
hands OF the officers Of Justice. We also
learn that the same indv idual is charged
with stealing number Of valuable articles

has generally professed TO be moneyIess-
but paid his passage here with gold coin,

Since the above was in type, we learn
from stage passenger, that the gentlemen
who went IN pursuit Of the robber, overlook
him IN Staun,on; but some difficulty aris-
ing IN identifying him, before they entered
| the Tavern he stepped out al the back door,
and made his escape. Nothing further was
heard OF him when the stage left Siaun,on on
yesterday morning. Charlottesville lido.

THE GREAT APPEAL CASE FROM
THE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA.

The judgment of the SUPREME Court
Of the United States on this important cause
was pronounced on Saturday.
The Judgments rendered in tho three Ca l.
ses by The Circuit Court in Alabama are all
reversed. The Opinion of a majority of the
Court was read by the CHIEF JUSTICE,
and we understand il as maintaining these
propositions:
l. That, by the comfy Of. Nations. Corr
porations can contract, as yell as sue, in
other nations as we'll as in that in which they
exist, or by whose Government they are
created.
That this comfy exists, in a still stron
ger degree, between States connected to-
ee,hel as are the States of this Union.
8. That the Constitution and Laws of AL
ALBANIA establish no such policy as is in firing.
ed bS the purchase and sale of bills of eX
change within her limits by tho agents oil
foreign Corporations.
q. An admission that there are some rights
OF citizens of other States, secured by the
Constitution, OF which State cannot divesl
them. This was not the ground Of the de-.
cision, but was intended, as we suppose, 10
he, IN legal phrase, the exclusion IF con-
cluSiOn.
Mr.. Justice BALDWIN gave a separate

versai, but putting his judgment on the
rights OF the parties, under the Constitution

JAMES RIVER BILL.

We regret to see that the James Ri
yer bill gets along SO cumberously in the
House of Delegates. Surely it is no,
the part of wisdom in the State, to fal,
ter in this great work. 1t is the only
improvement contemplated to open up
to US the trade Of the great West, and
sooner or later it must be accomplished.
The petty selfishness or jealousy which
would retard it, seems to US to be suici-
dial. Nothing great or beneficial can be
done, for other parts Of the common
wealth, until this is consummated. The
State has expended SO much on the
James river improvement, and as yet
so little benefit. seemingly, has resulted
from it, that it has sat, and will contin-
ue to sit. as CT incubus on the general
enterprise until it is completed. AT
present, its effects are nothing more than
those of local improvement-bu once
extended to the West, it will assume its
true character and importance, and pour
such flood Of blessings into the bosom
of the Commonwealth, as cannot fail to
infuse new zeal for improvement,
throughout all ouE borders. To its spec
dy completion therefore, II IS the par,
of wisdom and sound policy to devote
oil our energies, and every friend OF im-
provement, wherever situated. is blind
to his own interest. who does not exert
himself vigorously for its consummation

PASS THRO' THE BLUE RIDGE.
The lap in the Blue Ridge, which has
been SO much talked Of recently. as af.
fording an advantageous passage for a
Rail Road. was visited on Friday last
by several gentlemen Of this place. and
we are gratiied to learn from them, that
they found it to be all which the favor.
able representations we had heard of il
had induced US TO expect. The pass is
about FIVE or six miles below Rock
fish Gap, and on nearly direct line be.
tween this place and Charlottesville
The mountain. at that point, we under.
stand. presents no appearance Of depres.
sion which is no doubt the reason it has
SO long escaped public attention. The
passage is opened on this side by draft
between two parallel ridges, which pen
etrates the mountain nearly on a level,
for three miles. Here narrow belt,
or ridge, two or three hundred yards in
width, is interposed, which it will be
necessary to tunnel. A ridge is then
struck on the other side which afford,
an easy descent to the country below
This is certainly a most important dis
covery for the Valley, and we are pleas.
ed to learn that steps have been taken
to bring it to the early notice of the LIE,
gislature.
