The question who shall the Wings
support for U. S. Senator the coming
winter, causes considerable specula-
tion among our contemporaries. The
Cincinnati Gazette says Mr.. Corwin
is not candidate for the seat; we
have seen no such announcement in
regard TO Mr.. Ewing; on the contra
~ we had supposed that his friends
would support him, and that there
would be but one opinion among the
Wings of the Legislature-that Mr..
Ewing would be their first choice.
But should it be decided TO elect a
new man, we believe that from the
long Kst Of our able men, no gentle
man can be found better qualified, or
that would more ably represent the
State of Ohio, in the Senate OF the
United States, than the Hon. S. F.
v1NroN. Ripe with the experience
of a quarter Of a century in the low
er House, Familiarity acquainted with
the history OF the government dur
ing that period; prompt in the dis
charge of every duty that meets him
as e legislator; conservative in his
views; a good Wing sans Peur ct sans
reprOche, he is peculiarly well fitted
for the post. This section Of the
State heretofore has been but sell
dom consulted by the Legislature in
their selection of candidates to fill Of
fees within its gift. The Miami Val
lev and the Reserve have successful
ly urged their claims. Of this we
do not complain; neither would we
urge any such claim in favor of Mr..
Vinton; il is enough that the river
counties have been as uniform in
their support of Wing men and
Whig measures as any other Por-
ton of the State. and ifany new man
is to be selected to be supported for
the U. S. Senate by the Wings oi
the next Legislature, Hon. SAMUEL
finley VINroN is the first choice oil
those counties.

10 o. Editor Of tke Journal:

To TIE Editor Of TIE Journal:
SrE: At a meeting held Oct. 9th,
1850, / was appointed a delegate to
attend a Railroad Nesting, to be
held at Louisa c. H., Va, on the
18th Of the same month. On the 10Th
proceeded on the route, via Kama
wha Salines, and arrived at the
place appointed in time for said meet
ing. ! found there the Directors OF
the Central Railroad Company, and
a large number of stockholders in
said Company. Also, the States
.proxy, and a number Of delegates
from several of the western counties
Of Virginia. After the meeting had
attended to what Immediately con-
cerned the Company, they took up
the subject Of continuing the said
road from Staunton towards Coving-
ton. They resolved TO put about 20
miles of the same under contract so
soon as it can be prepared. The
same railroad is in use from
Richmond to Charlottesville, dis
lance of about ninety miles, and
from Charlottesville TO Staunton, a
distance of about forty miles is under
contract by the Company, except
the Blue Ridge Tunnel and about
Z miles east OF the Ridge. The Tun-
mel is the work Of the State, and is
now being constructed under the
Board Of Public Works. They have
entered the mountain on the west
side something like eighty feet, and
are progressing apparently very
well; on the east side they have made
all of the open cutting and are ready
TO commence the Tunnel from that
side. The distance through the
mountain, as | was informed, is four
thousand seven hundred feet,-oI
very hard rock. Ii will be great
work when done.
The officers, stockholders and del
egates at the meeting, expressed
themselves thoroughly in favor Of
and a determination to make every
exertion in their power to have this
railroad continued TO the Ohio river
TO such a point as would best meet
the road by Chilicothe, Cincinnati
and through Indiana and Illinois, to
ST. Louis, Mo. Whether it shall be
the mouth of the great Kanawha
Guyandotte, or Big Sandy rivers
they have not that personal knowl
edge TO enable them at present to
decide. They, like all others. are de-
sirous OF having the nearest and best
route. When that shall be decided
upon, there will be no further con.
test as to the route. There will be
an effort made at the next meeting o.
the Virginia Legislature, for a char
ter to extend from Covington to the
Ohio river. When that is done il
will be time for all that feel an in,
terest in the road TO do all in theiI
power to forward its construction
in as short time as possible. If the
mouth OF the Great Kama ~ha shall
be settled on as the Virginia termin
US, (of which | have no doubt,) then
we have our work before us, to make
the road through to Chilicoihe, and
that just as soon as possible.
Very respectfully. yours, &c,

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.


The Canada arrived at Boston on

tiers received by her. There is MOTH
ing important in the general news in
addition to what we have had by tel
egraph.
The London Morning Chronicle
saws in relation TO the affairs Of Aus
tris, Prussia, and Hesse Cassel:
How a collision is TO be avoided
under these circumstances il is diff
cult to understand. Each govern
ment may be said to have lis finger
on the hair-trigger Of mighty full
minaiing needle gun, the FIRST fash
of which win ignite the vast maga-
zines Of combustible matter collected
on all sides, and if the explosion
takes place, there is no man that can
predict the lamentable results. All
Germany will be converted into a
Schleswig- -Holstein-more need not
be said; nor a greater misfortune be-
lallit.
The Porte has Just published de-
cree, permitting all foreigners in their
service to resign, no matter what
their creed. This measure offers ia
cilities to a number Of refugees who
had adopted the Musselman faith, to
return to christianity; Gen. BEN is
mentioned foremost in the list.
Il is stated that about f7O,OOO
was paid by the government Of Spain
for the steamships HIbernia and Cal
edonia.
Letters from Athens Of Sept, 3Oth,
state that some English vessels had
taken in their cargoes, without per
forming the legal formalities. 10
consequence, the authorities were
unwilling to allow them to sail, and
for this delay England has demand
ed reparation.
The first contribution from The
continent 10 the Great Exhibition o

consists Of a consignment Of SO pack
ages by the steamer Neptune from

From Frankfort we learn, Of th'

Electors abdication were un!ounded
and at all events premature. 1t i

Advices from Rendsburg and Ham

that the Danes were employed II
