Twenty five or thirty companies besides, are

Ugly OLD FILES.

We understand that the County Court, at lis
last term appointed John g. Baldwin Committee
10 examine an old file Of the newspapers published
in Staunton, from the first establishment Of press
in the town, with view to procuring them for
preservation among the county records. This
move is one Of considerable interest as tending TO
throw light Upon the history and business of the
county, and we hope the agent may be entirely
successful in carrying into effect the liberal views
Of the Court. VIII not our citizens unite in fur
nislag the agent with all the information in their
possession calculated to forward the enterprise

eo- We commend 10 public attention cotnmu-
nlcatlon to the Editors of the Richmond Times,
signed "a Virgnan," which we transfer TO our
columns this week. 1t will be remembered that
the South Western Improvement has been present
ed to the Legislature under two aspects The one
contemplating Buchanan as the Eastern terminus
OF the proposed railroad to the Tennessee line the
other making Lynchburg that terminus. The
James River and Kanawha improvement is pro
crossing from Lynchburg TO Buchanan, and this
last point would seem, therefore, the natural inter
section, in view Of the large interest of the State in
the improvement. The people of Lynchburg aware
OF this, propose to raise $500, 900 as an nducement
to run the line from that place to Big Lick, and
thence to the Tennessee line thus beginning at a
point on the Canal more than SO miles below Buch-
anan and reaching another point 26 miles South
west of that place. The object of "a Ffginian"
rs to show the economy and propriety Of taking
Buchanan as the Eastern terminus of the road.
