Mr.. Mci.ane will deny this fact. Should the
plan | recommend be- adopted, il will defeat this
intrasion. and give Virginia one Of the most mag
n'hcent Railroads on the Globe, with the cheap
est, quickest, and best communication with the
west, OF any State in the Union. This route
would be a deaih-blow to the projects of Balti-
more, Philadelphia, and Boston. and make Rich
mond, Petersburg and Norfolk. on account OF
inelr manufacturing and commercial power, three
Oh the largest cities of the Union. The route
which Boston and New York now take to get to
'he west, is unnatural, and is iee-bound one half
'he year. The moment the Western produce is
ready to go to market, the Lakes, Canals, and
Roads are DISTRACTED. No such difficulty exists
in our climate.
Should the Legislature Of the State take one
.i',ion of the Stock, and this 1t certainly do
" aoie to give million more to the Baltimore

"THE OLD DEFENDERS.

The surviving defenders of Baltimore visited
Washington on the l2ih-the anniversary oil
the Battle at North Point, and were received
with all proper honors and entertained by the cit
liens and volunteers of the National Metropolis.
In number, they were about $50 men of different
ages and stature, and with their banners, &c.
made quite an imposing appearance.-After
marching through the principal avenue, they pro-
ceeced TO the Presidents House, where headed
by Col. Seaton, the Mayor, General Hunter,
Marshal Of the Day, and the Committee of Ar
engagements, they were ushered into the East
Room, and introduced 20 the President.-B. G..
Freshman, Esq, and Maj. J. X. Siapeton, ad.
dressed the President, and were both replied to
by that high funcionary. The addresses are
spoken Of as being very appropriate and affecting
The venerable DR.. STEUART, now the oldest sur
vlver OF the Defenders. at the age of 80, was pre-
sent, as was his son, Maj. Gen. S,euart.
Alter the ceremonies at the Presidents House,
the Defenders paid their respects to the venerable
Mrs. Madison, and then visited the Patent Office
and examined its curiosties. They gave the
Mayor passing salute at his residence, and pro.
ceeded to Browns Hotel, where, with the Balli-
more volunteers, their escort, they partook of an
elegant cold collation. provided by the Committee
OF Arrangements, and in the best style of the
Messrs. Brown. The Secretaries Of the different
Departments were among the guests at the din
ner.
The Old Defenders then departed at half past
o'clock for Baltimore, and reached their homes
in safety, much graIified with their visit.-Viyg.

We have been favored by mercantile friend
with the following extracts from Rio de Janero
letter OF the 25th July, containing some pariicu-
lars of an affair in which gallant officer of our
Navy acquitted himself with propriety and hui
manity highly creditable to himself and the ser.
vice:
"The U. S. ship St. Louis, Capt. McKEEvER,
arrived here about ten days since from New Zea-
land via Valparaiso. learn that while at the
Bay OF Islands, in New Zealand, Captain Nc
hEEvER was placed in position of much delica-
cy and responsibility, in which he acquitted HIM
self in manner alike credi,able to his head and
heart. On his arrival there he found the British
colony OF about five hundred persons who occu-
pied considerable village, with small fortii-
cation and vessel OF war in port, in state Of
hostility with the natives He was applied to by
some OF the British officers for assistance, which,
upon the American principle of non-inlerference,
he OF course declined to give, and more partcu-
larly as the New Zealanders (the savages) are
claimed as British subjects. He however went
on shore and obtained an interview with the Ma
tive Chief at his camp, who was anxious to know
what part the st. Louis would take. Capt. Nc
kEEvER Informed him that he should preserve a
strict neutrality, provided he (he cheO would
protect the women and children and missionaries.
but That If he committed any act of violence on
them, that the laws of humanity would compel
MS lInmeulate interference. The chief pledged
himself to respect and protect them, and though
savage, he strictly fulfilled his pledge. On the
llth OF March at dawn, the natives made an at
tack on the English, cut down the flag staff, and
burnt the village, saving only the Churches and
Mission-houses. During the action Captain Nc
kEEvER sent his boats shore and took off to
the vessels in the harbour all the women and
children and wounded men. There were I6 kill
ed on the English side and many wounded, a.
mong others the English Commander, dangerous
ly. The natives lost more. Capt. McKEEvER
senthIs Surgeons to assist in dressing the wounds
OF the English, and afterwards sent them to per-
form the same kind Offices for the natives.
The whole settlement subsequently embarked
for Aukland-Ihe British seat of Government in
New Zealand-Capt. MckEEvER taking there in
his ship $50 men, women and children. On his
arrival at Auckland he received much attention
from The Governor and other officers, who &C
knowiedged themselves and the whole colony
deeply indebted to him for his kind and impor-
tant offices in the disastrous affair. it is said
case OF this kind occurred some time since, in
which the English were blamed for having NAL
treated the natives. Ball. American.

BRAVE ACT OF A Roy :

Mr.. WIN. Subet, of Powhatan, who keeps
tavern in the vicinity of Jnde's Ferry, has also
store house, about SO yards from his dwelling,
and across the Gainesville road, leading by his
house. One night last week, there was an at
tempt near day break, to break into this store
house. MIR. Subjects son. Thomas, Ia years old,
and younger brother, slept in it for the protec-
ton OF the property. Thomas Sublett was awak-
ened by the boring OF holes in the door, but took
no NOTES.-The window was then assaled, and
pane of glass broken out. This lad, who had
a loaded gun by his bed side, would yet make no
movement, thinking the right time had not come,
and displaying, for his age, heroic presence of
nind. lie could have shot the burglar in the
hands as he broke the window pane, but would
not, Tor he heard voices without, and knowing
mere was more than one engaged, reserved his
hre TO make 1T the more effective, fearing that if
he only wounded the assailant, himself and his
brother would be murdered The assailant hav-
Ing at length broken through the window and
entered the room, young Subett fired and lodged
the contents oil his gun in his brain; GOODNESS
and seii-command, which, considering his tender
age, the time OF night, and the circumstances of
extreme personal danger, justify the highest
commentator.
The burglar thus shot, never spoke after, and
lived but short time--half an hour we think
lie proved 10 be the property OF robert Pember-
ton, Esq, OF upper Maiden's Adventure. We
know what excited the suspicion, but the
next day of Mr.. Pemberton's hirelngs was
arrested upon suspicion Of being an accomplish.
1t proved to be well founded HI confessed that
the plot to rob, murder the boys, and then
burn the store: He was the author of the plan,
and the killed his dupe and accomplish. This
rascal is now in Powhatan Jail.
The country, we are sure, will applaud the
spirit and selt-command Of young Subett. His
young brother did not awake during tho whole
affaiF.-Richnond Iphig.

u The Baltimore American, remarking upon
the distracted state of public affairs in Mexico,
says "A prey to intrigue and violence, without
resources, without energy, the Mexican Repub-
lie exhibits melancholy spectacle. The doc
trne of the "spoils" has been there carried out to
its full results, and we behold them strikingly il
Illustrated. The possession of Office is but IL
cense to plumber. Adventures all, there are no
bounds TO The fierce cupidity with which the con-
tending aspirants strive after the official places
which furnish facilities to despo the country
The unhappy commonwealth lies like huge car
cass around which. the yultures are gathered,
while the voracious birds of prey fight among
themselves, each eager to be first gorged. Such
is the natural consummation of that fatal prnci-
pie which, sitting all patriotism, converts the
Offices and functions of government into the means
of individual aggrandizement; which developes
seifshness into maturity, with all its accompani-
ments of vindictveness, fiery jealousy, treachery
and violence.

The Richmond Wing says: ave are author
lied by the Assistant Treasurer of the Fund,
Miss ELIZA M. RIDDLE, to announce to the Wing
Ladies OF Virginia, that there is now certainty
that the Statue ,UiN be erected. The amount in
hand is not quite sufficient, but no doubt is en-.
tertained, that, when the several sums collected
in many of the counties, and those within reach,
by little exertion, shall have heen added, the
collections will be ample. Let the Ladies, how.

and the meeting of the Legislature, SO tina,

THE OUTRACE

| Our town has been i'm an unusual state of ex.
element during the past week. Early on Thurs
day morning last it was satisfactorily ascertained
that one of the three negroes against whom sus-
picion had been directed, as having been engaged
in the late outrage on the person of young white
female, had absconded. The Magistrates who
had been acting in the case, and who had been
delaying only for farther developments, thus felt
themselves forced to take immediate steps for Sc
curing the two others who remained, and for ap-
pretending the fugitive. Handbills were accord
ingly issued offering reward of $50 for Free.
man, the yellow fellow, and Mr.. CARRIERS George
and Mrs. McDowell's Jim, taken into custody.
The latter. however, on getting to the Jail door,
broke away from the officer, and although at
once pursued by numbers Of our citizens, was not
re-aken until about dark the next evening.
In the mean time information was received
which rendered it probable that the free fellow,
Freeman, had taken across the mountains west,
with view of making his way to Ohio; and it
was at once determined to send party of men
In pursuit of him, with instructions to follow
him whithersoever he might go. Accordingly
on Saturday morning company of four was or
ganized. They left about IL o'clock in the day,
and, contrary to all calculations, returned on
Monday evening, bringing with them the fugi-
tive. 1t seems the fellow had got over into
Hardy, some eighty miles on his way, where
luckily it happened that the whole country was
aroused in the pursuit of number of runaway ne
groes. This state of things being rather annoy
ing to him. he recrossed the mountain into Brock s
Gap, and as fortune would have it reached the
road just in time to fall into the hands of our
citizens. The whole gang, therefore, are now
lodged in Jail, where it is determined they shall
be safely kept, as the County Court have author
lied nightly guard, 10 be detailed for the pur-
pose from the Stanton 1t. Infantry.
The white man, Johnston, had his examination
before the County Court on Monday, and was
sent on for farther trial before the Superior Court
We have rarely witnessed a deeper or more
pervading excitement in our community but il is
due to our population to say, that horrible and
revolving to humanity as is the crime which has
been committed, there is no disposition to inter
fere with the full and fair administration of the
law.

A slip from the Office Of the Norfolk Herald
informs us that cold blooded murder was per-
petrated at Suffolk, Va. OF Saturday, by Hunter
Hill, resident Of that town, upon Major Robert
Riddick Smith, of Ssmerion. The deceased, it
appears, had given offence TO Hill by refusing TO
appoint bin captain of patrol guard which he
had detailed for duty, and on Saturday evening,
whilst they were walking together, the murderer
drew dirk from sword cane which he Held in
his hand, plunged it into the body of Major
Smith, and then mounted horse and rode off,
The weapon passed through the lungs, and the
aperture 1t made was small as scarcely to be
percepuble: only few drops Of blood exuded
from it. The hemorrhage was all internal.-
Major Smith survived until Sunday morning at
o'clock, when he expired.
The relatives of the deceased have offered
reward of $500 for the arrest Of the assassin
