MIR. RoBB, who presented the report Of the
Committee of Ways and Means to the South.
western Railroad Convention, made a speech
which enlisted the attention of the assembly
He sustained with great ability the two grand
projects of Northern line of Railroad to con.
meet New Orleans with Cincinnati and the
Lakes, aud Northwestern line TO pass via
Knoxville, Richmond and Washington to New
York. Thase. with judieious lateral lines, he
contended, would redeem the Southwestern
commerce and influence in the nation, and
build up Southern manufactures. The advan-
tages OF these Improvements. he said, would be
an increase of settled white population. 1t
would establish local interests, fix wandering
minds, create local home attachments and de-
velopments. 1t would have great effect on
our political interests by equaIizing our repre-
sentation, whilst it would advance our moral
and intellectual condition.
MIR. j. P. BEsJAMIN made long speecb in
favor of general system of Railroads for the
Southwest, Of which New Orleans should be
the centre. Also of three great national lines.
which he called main-trunk Railroads. and
which he thus traced: "A road connecting
with the great Northern lines, crossing the
Ohio, near Cairo. and joining on illinois, with
the roads projecting around the Lakes; also
road ON the air line through Alabama, Tennes.
see and Virginia, directly to New York; and
lastly, the great Western road, connecting The
Mississippi with the Ris Grande. These were
the three great national lines to which New
Orleans felt bound to limit her present efforts"
In connection with these propositions, he spoke

peditions to the Pacific. Heexpressed the be-
lief that Mexico would soon yield all OPPOSE

carried out. With this rou.e opened, he said
ships would be able to make the voyage from
England to India in half the time now occupied
in crossing the Isth,nus Of Suex. Thus. il

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.


After prayer by the Rev. John Early, the
Speaker presented to the House a communica-
ton from Preston M. Adams, contesting the
election of r. Dunlop, of Braxton and Nicho-
las, to a seat in the House and DR.. Kidwell
presented similar document from Samuel F.
Marquis, contes,ing the election of Edward
Smith, from Brooke and Hancock.
The House adopted joint resolution. intro
duced by Mr.. Cheatham, for committee OF
two from the Senate and four from the House,
to count the vote for Attorney General; and on
motion of Mr.. Massey, the Committee of Courts
of Justice were instructed to inquire into the
expediency of requiring trustees selling pro-
perry to execute bonds with security, in the
same manner as commissioners in Chancery.
At this stage of the proceedings, being few
minutes after the House had come to order,
Mr.. Butler, of Richmond, rose and said he
would avail himself of this, the first suitable
opportunity, to discharge duty-a painful
duty-which it was incumbent upon him to
perform. He was not fortunate enough to get
the floor before the labor Of counting the votes
for Governor, &C., had commenced; and now
was the first appropriate occasion which had
presented itself since that laborious duty had
been performed. This explanation, Mr.. B.
deemed due to the memory of the deceasd, to
| this House, to himself, aud necessary to ex-
plain wha. might otherwise be deemed an I'm.
necessary delay. l rise said Mr.. B., to an
nounce to this House, the death of William C.
Caring ton, Esq, member elect to this body
After a neat, chaste, and feeling speech in
eulogy of the deceased, and some beautiful
illusions to the moral and admonitory lessons
taught us by his sudden death, Mr.. B. presented
the following preamble and resolutions for
adoption by the House:
The House of Delegates having heard, with
feelings Of profound regret, of the death Of
this Legislature, from the city of Richmond
| and being des rous OF manifesting its high re-.
| gard and consideration for the virtues Of the
| deceased,
Do Resolre, That the members and officers
of the House sincerely and deeply sympathise
| with the family of the deceased in their afflic-
| tom and, as a suitable expression of their re.
| gard, will wear the usual badge of mourning
| for the remainder of the present session of he
| General Assembly.
| Resoired, That the Speaker of the House
transmit copy of the foregoing preamble and
| resolution to the widow Of the deceased.
The preamble and resolutions were unanim
| ously adopted; and as further testimonial o.
respect for the deceased, DR.. Patrick moved
that the House do now adjourn-and then, 9
few minutes after assembling, the House ad
! ourned.
