RICHMOND, Jan. q, 1876.

capital Of twelve millions of Dollars construct rail,
ad from Richmond he Ohio river, passed the Honse
II Delegates by very decided maj,riiy; and il asks

soon million Of dollars shall have been paid in
lOd two milI"ns satisfactorily secured and it is
mhorzed to invest SIKH of the amount 50 paid in
secured in the purchase of lands in the vicinity Of the
lac Of improvement. The company is also clothed with
aver. after the completion Of the road 10 engage in
Fmnacluring and mining. As ! have heretofore in.
