/ - The readers attention Will n9t ial 10 be
attracted BY the excellent editorial article which
we take from the Richmond Examiner and which
IL 10 be found on The first page Of io-day's pa
per. The relative advantages Of the several
schemes Of Internal Improvement which are now
/ in the course Of construction from the Eastern 10
the Western part Of the State, have been exam
ined fully in previous numbers Of thai paper, and
that 10 which sc now ask attention Is devoted
mainly 10 an examination OF The great results
which are 10 flow from The completion Of the Fr-
cinia and Tennessee Rail Road.
These exposirions, appear at this Time, in the
Examiner. suppose, from the fact that the
City of Richmondis asked to authorize a subscrp-
ton Of one hundred thousand dollars in her cor
porate capacity TO the Virginia and Tennessee
Rail Road. Il is no part of our intention, at this
time, 10 attempt to add even one word in support
Of all that is clearly and concuslyely SET forth
by the Examiner, because Lynchbnrg has
long since shownby her fHW and her morks, that
lnestimable wealth and prosperity are but our
reasonable an,cipations, when taken in conneX-
ion with the immense amount for which her obi
cation has been given To secure and complete
ms gffal enterprise. u mas Ipng Deen Il ilalleT
Of surprise, and we may add, modification, that
Richmond has been so tardv in mnnifestng
zeal for tins work. II seems that all The world
beside has seen through the future, and yet,
with Richmond, ii is subject for consideration.
Whilst she has expended thousands 10 secure a
share Of the trade and travel seeking an east
wardly direction, and which have, as vet, but
poorly rendered a ut compensation, il is not
strange that those who are now battling for her
interests and the prosperity of the Common
which she possesses on n work that will throw
upon the Valley of James River the riches,
the treasures and great wealth with which the
Southwest abounds Can Richmond hesitate to
add the amount OF one hundred thousand dollars
to the capital stock olthe Company when, in view
of that fact she has the assurance that she will
secure much of this ineStimabe boon to her own
immediate wealth and greatness. We have but
to add, that with us, is matter in which VIC can
only watch the current as it shall make its way
the nature of things TO be satisfied that the cncr-
gy now exercd, will extend the road 10 its Yves
tern deslinatIon sooner OF later and that the ele-
mcnts of greatness which 1t will be the agent to
convey 10 the heart of Virginia, will not remain
unappropriatcd. II HE capital of the State will
not reach forth to secure her portion, other towns,
now OF less importance, will embrace the occa-
sion and show themselves more enlightened than
the metropolis.

TIE CuLprPER CASE.-A writer in the
Alexandria Gazette, of the 18th inst, under the
signature of "Iidt Jastiid," defends Judge
Field, of the Culpeper Circuit, from the reilec-
tons of the Fredericksburg News upon bis Off
cal conduct in the recent investigation before
him of the outragein CulpepPer county, by which
a man was deprived of his life by mob. A con-
densed statement, from the article alluded to, was
published in this paper, and it is proper to notice
the yindication of that functionary, from
the allegation ofu>ing official influence to screen
those who participated in that diSgracetul affair,
from the just penalty which the law would have
inflicted.

WHAT OUGHT THE SOUTH
TO DO?

TO DO?
Shall she. for the sake of the Union
submit to every kind of aggression
and violation of the principles OF the
constitution, and the ultimate des'ruc'
tion and annihilation Of one OF the
most important items Of southern
interest and southern property? OF
shall she resist these aggresslons'
these insults. these violations of right
and of Justice, although this resistance
may result in disunion.
Slavery exists amongst US. Our
slaves are our property, as much AS
tho spindle and the loom are the prop
erty OF the northern manufacturer.
The institution Of slavery is not only
not prohibited, but is permitted TO
exist; is recognized by the constitu>
ton, the fundamental law Of the U.
States. No one who has read that
instrument so as to understand it, can
deny that ii sanctions the owning OF
slaves in any State, when the consti.
tuition Of that State does not prohibit
the existence of that kind Of property.
No one acquainted with our gov
ernment since 1891 will deny hat the
North, the majority, have shown
determination to abolish slavery in
The States where it exists; ii not by
direct legislation. so to limit the ter
ritory where it shall exist, as that the
natural increase of slaves will max"
even their support imnracticabIe, and
emancipation the consequence. No
