The cost ofthe tunnel and mountain section is
estimated at about $4,000 The bill before the
Legislature proposes the expenditure OF not more
than 100000 a year till the work is completed
Those who make the above estimate of cost feel
justified in doing SO, because judcious and
sponsible contractor has offered 10 undertake the
construction of the tunnel a, $4,000 lers than the
estimate OF the Engineer. Let Virginia complete
this work, and she opens TO the sea-board the now
pent up trade of one OF the richest valleys IN the
land-a valley capable OF doubling its population
and wealth in twenty years, if an outlet is afforded
to its productions. Yhe people of the valley are
anxious for commercial Intercourse with the East.
Already has Augusta County subscribed $4,000
to bring the Louisa Railroad TO the Eastern Base
of the Blue Ridge. This is powerful pledge of
her desire to trade with Eastern Virginia. We
learn from unquestionabe authority that she stands
ready to subscribe double much to extend the
road to Staunton and thereby bind herself by all the
ties of interest to continue her Eastern connections
Is not the trade thus offered to the East worth the
expenditure which is solicited'
Again: The construction of this tunnel opens
the gate TO the Ohio River--to Cincinnati, the
Queen City of the West.

RICHMOND, Feb. /, lSie.
Messrs Editors II perceive it is reported in the

of Mr. Strother of Rappahanuock His recollection
of the facts are perfectly correct SO far as it extends

RICHMOND, February LIST, lS49.

Ny Dear Sir--To comply with the request con-
tanned in your note ofyeserday, by stating to tho
best Of my recollection, the part taken by YOU when
the resolutions concerning the "Wimot PrOviso"
offered by Mr.. Harve, in the session of 1867,
were under consideration, gives me pleasure
While my memory does not retain all that then
occurred, | recoect distinctly that you, and you
alone think. opposed theee resolutions earnestly
and decidedly; and that Mr.. Floyd, (of Wythe,)
Mr.. Harvie and myself sustained them. That dis
cussion, which short one, was not mentioned
or referred to in the newspaper reports of the pro-
ceedings Of the House, for the reason believe,
that Mr.. Tunsiall expressed upon he floor the hope
and made the request, that the newspaper reporters
would take notice of it, that the resolutions
might go to the country having been adopted
without any dissent.
l am under the impression that Mr. Tanstall also
moved the insertion into the resolutions Of the word
unanimously" And my recollection also is, that
while you so far yielded to the manifestations of
the general desire of the House for the insertion of
the word "unanmousy," not to oppose its nser-
tion you still withheld your support from the reso-
lutiens, and retained your objection TO the-for if
am not mistaken, besides endeavoring to meet
your objections in the discussion above mentioned,
likewise sought to them in private CONVEX
asticn, before tho subject passed from before the
House.
Very truly, your friend.
JAMES f. STROTHER.
P. S. have no doubt that Mr.. Harris's recol-
lection of the whole matter is more distinct than
mine.
