To the Editor of the Times:
Dear Sir:l believe that our people beginning to
wake up to the importance of doing something to.
wards securing the spe edy completion of the Rich
mond and Danvile Rail Road.
The county court on yesterday made an order, direct
ing the question regard to The county subscrinon of
$4,000 the stock of that Company to be submitted
TO the voters OF the county, on the first M onday in
October next.
Mr.. Tunsta, Mr.. Clifford and Col. Townes, of
Ptsyvania, were at court, and the two first named
gentlemen addressed the people the subject
Mr.. Clifford commenced the discussi n, if it may be
so called. He did not speak long; but much to- the
purpose. have not time, if it were otherwise in
my power to do SO, to do JUST to his clear and
else argument Suffice it say, hat he satisfied those
who heard him, however much some may have differ
ed with him. that he was master OF the subject he
dertook to hapde-and from what l gather, the
objections OF many to county subscription, were re-
moved.
After Mr. G. concluded, Mr.. Tunstall made one of
those speeches, which none but Tunstal make He
listened to by very large audience with BREATH
less attention. except when some appropriate anecdoe,
some humorous sally would call forth that applause
which his efforts before the people never TAIL TO COM
mand.
From what can learn by talking with persons
from every part of the county, be eve that the dis
cussion Yesterday will have the desired effect and
that the voters OF the county will decide IN favour OF
a subscription of $50000
II the people Of Charlotte can be satisfied that it is
nothing more than justice to their fellow citizens OF
the other counties, who have subscribed literally
the construction OF this Improvement that they should
make subscription so1neaohdt in proportion to the
benefit they have right 10 believe they will derive
from it, BELIEVE that leaving the strong motive of
inerest out of vew they will not hesitate to vote
for the subscription proposed.
One part OF the county enterains the hope that the
South Side Road will be the means of carrying their
produce market, and believe, with some reason;
but the body of the county is interested much more
deeply in the success of the Danvile Road.
Ii the other counties along the line will do their duty,
think they may rely that Charlotte will not ail to do
hers.
The trial of Joseph P. Davis, charged with the mur-
der OF John Fl. Wilson, commenced on yesterday and
is now progressing.

years ofage. She was found locked in garret,
crouching like an idiot in one corner of the room
without bed, food drink, the hot rays of the sun
pouring through the roof. The little sufferer was

could scarcely stand; she was emaciated nearly to

to her feet of excessive whippngs and beatings.
A mob of more than one thousand persons are

time ofthe arrest, and would have torn Eylee to
