The English press has wasted an immense

SrAUYToY AND CONVICTION RAiL-RoAD,-The
oil for extending the Louisa Railroad from Staun'
Ton to Covingtoh, having passed the Senate BY
majority Of three votes, has become law. De-
prived, however, Of the States guarantee to con-
tinue the road to the Kanawha, it is not'kely to
result in any thing practical. The region Of coun-
try between the two points and adjacent TO the line
cannot furnish the funds necessary for the construc
ton of the roaj, and unless foreign aid can be OBJ
tanned, which has been suggested as possible, it GER
,ainly never will be made under this act
The construction of a central railroad to the
Ohio is undoubtedly the great work which should
employ the energies of the State, and until 1t is &C
complished, or the means provided, all other
schemes should be laid aside If too little is known
of The route to justify an ACT committing the State
to the work, as has been urged, the proper course
obviously is to authorize accurate surveys and estl-
mates by competent engineers. Instead of doing
this, however, the Legislature is in Danger of ex-
haustng the strength OF the State in Improvements
which can be of no general advantage.

Oa- The communication signed ''Several Con-
cerned, we understand as responsive TO "Souih-
East" in the last Spectator, and to suggestion by
us Of the propriety Of an explanation.
We presume, if it had appeared upon the face OF
the petition, as now explained that no use was n-
tended to DO made Of it until three flhs of the free
hold voters had been obtained, thegrounds Of obec-
ton would have been narrowed down 10 a single
point; and that is, the pledge said to have been CIV
en-. that no repetition of the tax would be attempted
We confess ourselves to be in this category, 10 a
certain extent, and therefore could not have signed
the petition in its most understandable form. A
mistake, no doubt, has been fallen into, as to the
extent of circulation and subscription. Weare sat
islied from the character and standing Of the gen.
tlemen concerned, that nothing undetermined or I'M
fair was intended by them. A private petition re-
suiring three ifths of the freehold voters of the
County, (ayowed by its authors,) would have been
foolish and impractcabe. We are not surprised,
however, that some excitement should have sprung
up, under impressions which had gone abroad. 1t
