We have read with some interest a speech
delivered at MooriieldS, recently by Lee.
Esq. olharly, This speech, like all others
from the sane gentleman, speaks more for his
literary taste than his sound practical iudg-
mCnt,
His hair splitting metaphysical discussion
about the major and minor, maximum and
minimum interests of Virginia are a little too
line an deep for our comprehension, but. il
his premises are true, the stock orthc B,l,i-
more and Ohio Rail Road Company. after the
Road was made To rdrk"sburgh. would not be
worth ANYTHING, and the stocks of the James
River and hanawha Improvements, when
completed, would bc still worse.
MOI can we conceive how this Baltimore
and Ohio Rail Road, if madc, could increase III,
population among those poorhills audhollow,
which produce nothing but hoop-poles an,
melon-stilks.
How these iron horses, with fire from thci
eyes and clouds from their nos,rils flowing
dragging their laundering trains along at tn,
rate OF twenty miles an hour, could have amy
influence upon the fecundity of the men and
women living along the track, is a little re-.
markablr and also too deep Tor our oomprc-
hcnsion.
The speech, however, as a piece of compo-
sitlon. is very fine and p~oetical; but if our
friend Lee would only travel the track where
the Pdrkcrsburgh nation want this rail road To
go, and come down to the realities of lifu a,
they there exist, he might quote with great
propricty the description of Miss Tabitha Tow.
ser, now living ION one of the fifteen road,
talked OF by said Company abou, half way be.
tween Knob Fork and Scrabblctown, as fol.

We quote from memory and do not vouch
Tor accuracy, but it Is more true to real life
than Nirgil's description of the Arcadian
Shepherds, or Mr.. Lees account of pastoral
life in that part of the country.
II our friend, MIR. Lee, is determined tn
continue the manufacture of poetry we would
recommend him 10 this same modern Bard
Tor p%urri.ed directions, and particularly his ce-
lebrated poem commencing thus:
Suppose YOU would sing,
About love in the spring,
Something like this would be just the thing
Say, about the fag end of MAY,
When pretty pink posics,
CaPtivate your eyes and ravish your noses
For the sake of your spanglcd,
