looks with so much interest, is at present
pushed forward with the utmost vigor.-

Of June I'd, that this expedition will re-
quire rear thousand mules for draught,
several hundred horses for the ordnance,
and for mounting the dragons, at least
two hundred wagons, large stock of cat

and thai the requisition only reached here
last Sunday, some idea may be formed Of
the despatch with which the United States
Government officers have performed their
duties.
The same journal adds: No delay, we
are assured, will occur, if the volunteers
are as promptly al the point OF rendezvous
as the supplies, or are ready Tor The march
as soon as all other things are prepared.

ties on the Missouri River, will set out 10

tcrtained and ayowed by the Senior Editor Of this
paper, IN relation to the best mode Of carrying on
tine Central Improvement. We do not refer to
outlying the topic" so much as to advert to lis
concluding remark
"In conclusion upon this subject feel be our duty
say Mr. Tole aud the propheors Of the Whig IN be-
half Of the Wings Of the Valley (many Of whom We have
heard express themselves relation to this msuer that If
the Richmond Wing, be used for the purpose Of

they will be compelled to Withdraw lhoir support from the

IL made In the form Il threat but purely q means
Of ssD preseyUafi0D and defence"
The Senior Editor Of the Wbig has no besita
ton in saying that his opinions are not like his
coat, to be thrown on and off at pleasure. Adopt.
ed from conviction, they will be adhered to- and
on all suitable occasions ayowed and maintained,
whatever be the pecunlary sacrifice to which he
may be thereby subjected. So that, whether the
remarks Of the valley Wing" be Intended as a
"threat' or not is a matter Of the smallest posi-
bic consequence
But while the Senior Editor makes this avowal,
he deems it proper also to observe, that the Rich.
mond Wing is NOT to "be used for the purpose Of
stopping the Canal at Lynchburg' nor, he would
add, at buchanan neither While lis Editor will,
whenever he deems the occasion proper one, ex-
press his opinion, that Rail Road is preferable
to a Canal, and that it will be better system Of
improvement for the people Of the Valley them
selves, as well.Ss for the city Of Richmond, and
for the State, the Columns Of the Wing viii be
thrown freely open to all who dissent from that
opinion, and who may desire to fuse" them for
the purpose Of expressing that dissent, or Of com
