R.LRoaDs.-Thc most extraordinary feeling
in favor OF railroads is nov exhibited al Natchez.
But few months ago, he Mississippi railroad
had its irons torn up sold by the State useless
for railroad purposes, and they no,o piled up,
at the Natchez landing, Tor transportation. The
people living on the road have awakened as from
a dream. The citizens OF Natchez have discov-
cred that their Town should be the terminus OF the
Charleston railroad and the road, few months
ago completely roined, merely for the iron. is now
part OF the great line that must extend on TO
Charleston.
In this shor, epi,ome, We have enterprises IN
voIvlNo MILLIONS or DOLLARS, and, we might add,
many more TO swell the aggregate The spirit
for railroad speculation is spreading and il will
be upon u.s. for good or evil, even while we look
for lis approach Fortunately, the resources OF
our country are inexhausube- beyond all calcu-
lation-and we can therefore contemplate The re-
suit OF this mania with some feelings OF compla.
cency; for involve what present ruin il may, il is
only anticipating the real ,cants Of our extensive
countrg-[N o. Commercial Times.

Georgia Haiggery- What should the Virginia
Democracy do?-The Wings OF Georgia have
"proscribed prescription with vengeance!-
On the 10Th inst, their Legislature elected nine
Judges, on strictly party grounds. as appears from
the vote published in the "Fedetal Union" With
this example before them, do the Wings of Viz
ginia expect the Democratic Legislature OF this
State 10 re appoint their political friends TO Offices
of trust and profit"
Far be it from us TO follow the example OF our
opponents We shall never study political mo-
raiity in the school Of Whiggery. But we insist
upon it, that Democratic Legislature should
prefer Democrats for Office, because 1t IS rgM IN
itself and therefore our true policy.
