perhaps, been as many persons in Staunton on
similar occasion for many years. There was
large military and civic procession which having

Address of Washington was read by Mr. John [.
Peyton, and the Grafton of the day was delivered

4" The STRAIGHT Short

This is the familiar title of a railroad some
twenty five miles in length proposed to be con-
structed from the town of GAINESVILLE in Mecklen-
burg county, Virginia, to Ridgeway, North Caro-
lima, point on the Raleigh & CASTOR railroad
The House OF Delegates, Wednesday, by very
large majority (6S to 27) passed bill appropria-
ting 800 600 to that portion ofthe road, aboutten
miles in length, which will lie in Virginia. The
North Carolina Legislature, at its late session,
granted charter, without any appropriation,
for the same railroad. The two delegates from
Mechlenburg took very great interest in the
scheme, and for the first time in the history of
the Commonwealth have introduced that strong
border county fully into the ranks ofthe Internal
Improvement party
Mr.. Witcher, Wednesday, offered a ryder to the
bill, authorizing the subscription of the State to
be applied to a railroad from Gainesville TO the
Danve railroad, if the private stockholders should
so elect. The ryder was first ordered to be en-
crossed, but it afterwards elected opposition from
some of the tide-waer members, and the friends
ofthe bill then earnestly opposed it. The vote to
engross it was accordingly reconsidered, the ry-
der rejected, and the bill passed as before stated.
