THIS sale shows a considerable advance upon
the prices at which real estate sold two years
ago. The exact ratio OF the increase we are not
now able to present. So far as we are aware
nothing but the influence Of the rail road could
thus have elevated the price of property. There
has been no Other agen. at work. This Of itself
IS sufficient comment upon the importance and
utility OF our rail road enterprise, and we hope
that IT will not be without its proper influence.
While dwelling upon the rail road We beg TO in
vte the readers attention 10 an article from The
Boston Railway Times, to be found i'll this issue
which (arlicle) contains some valuable lnforma-
ton with respect to the quality of iron for rail
ways, and will repay pcrusal.
We are grahfed in being able to announce the
lively zeal which is felt, in all sections of the
State, for the successful prosecution of our work
These evidences we spread before our readers
tins morning, who will see by reference, the call
for meeting in Richmond, in addition 10 the
following delegations appointed by the citizens Of
Washington, Smyth and Carroll. We learn
that meeting will be held in Liberty on Fri
day next. Before appending the names of th5
delegations, we beg TO be allowed the privilege o.
urging the delegates to be in attendance upon
the Convention at Wythevillc. 1t is matter
OF the first Importance that the delegation be
full, and we hope that all, who can, will be
prompt TO attend.
