should do so. But suppose there is an indispo.
sltion at the present moment to engage in it,
why this readiness to surrender the important
advantages she possesses TO foreigners And
especially why do any thing TO impair the value
OF her large investments in the James River I'M
provement? Gould not the Legislature, in per-
feet harmony with those interests, as well have
effected the object Of continuous Railroad
from Richmond to the Ohio, 40 granting the Pc
tiions Of their own citizens for an extension OF
the Louisa Railroad to Covington or Buchanan ,
the point at which the James River company
proposes to drop its water line and commence a
Rail-Road-with provision that in case of the
Inability of that company 10 complete the work to
the Ohio, il shall be assigned to the new corpo-
rationl Under such an arrangement, one would
think, every legitimate inducement might be af-
totded which ought to be offered TO foreign CAPT.
talIsts to invest their money; and the very fact
that this proposition, when privately made, re-
ceived no favor from the friends of the New
York project, satisfied us that a RailRoad or
RAILROAD profits had little or nothing 10 do with
their objects or purposes. Time, however, will
prove all things; and all that now remains for u.s.
we suppose, is patiently to await it's develop
ments.

u JOHN LErCnER, esq. has Withdrawn from
the canvass for seat in Congress. We learn
from the Star that he addressed the people of
fockbrldge at their last Court, principally in re-
iation to his course in the Senatorial election,
and at the close announced that he was no longer
candidate. This is es sudden and unexpected
as the gen'leman's entrance into the canvass was
abrupt and impetuous.
The Democrats of Rockbridge, on the same
day. held a meeting in which they resolved to
present to the District the name of Gov. JAMES
MCDOWELL as suitable candidate. They saw
nothing on the subject Of the proposed conven.
ton. A committee was appointed to inform tho
governor OF his nomination, and to prepare an
address to the people Of the district.

EDUCATION.
One GoOd Step in Tie Cau,c.


BY the report of the proceedings, it will be
seen that Mr.. Yerby's resolution, giving $50 600
annually TO the principal of the Literary Fund
and $4,000 more to be applied TO the primary
Schools was passed by such decided majority
as to prove that the House of Delegates are i'm
earnest in their efforts 10 spread the blessings Of
Education. The vote was 10 to AZ.
Mr.. Yerby's non-acceptance of the proposition
of MIR. Edmunds, to spend the fund in the sever
al counties In proportion to their contribution,
right for the present, even if the principle be
adopted hereafter as the true rule. 1t is acknow-
lodged on all sides that it is the poorer counties
that most need heIp--and the intelligence of the
community being not only public property, bu;
the essential basis Of free government, all are
interested in the diffusion of light where i, is
most needed,
Besides, 1t was more important TO make be-
ginning, than TO settle details. Mr.. VERIFY de.
serves well OF Virginia, for his earnest, able, and
interchangeable efforts in the cause.-TthigOf ned
