FOR THE VIRGINIA.

FOR THE VIRGINIAN.
TIE Virginia and Tennessee Railroad er-
tended to alexandria, or tie Orange and

burg
That this great South western and
Northeastern line of Railroad, incompara-
bly, the most important combil alton of Pub
lie works in the State, is attracting the at
ten'ion which it merits, appears no less
from the jealous advocacy of its friends
than the peculiar assaults fits foes; X. Y. of
the Richmond Wing for example.
In the same class of appalling certain
lies, death and taxes have generally been
united. That the latter, in a greatly ag-
gravated form will soon grasp us, to meet
the requirements Of our new constitution.
seems doubly sure. What is to be done!
Shall the cup Of our bitter ness be filled, by
the further prosecution in dribleis Of disu-
nited schemes, that lin the expressive Ian
guage ofthe day. can never pay; or shall
we complete at least one system Of Rail-
roads, and confine our means and our ener-
gies to works, which will infallibly and
quickly pour profuse dividends into our
exhausted exchequerl
Just now, the line designated at the
head of this communication is especially
commended to us, from the fact that large
part Of it is either already finished or in
the course of rapid progress; and that the
short intermediate link. indispensable to
its perfection and as yet uncbartered, could
in all probability be constructed without
recourse to the aid of the State. Then
this line would give to US the undispuied
control of the immense intercourse of the
through travel, perpetually ebbing and
flowing between the teeming regions OF the
Southwest. and all the great capitals and
narts of the North. The deposited fares
of these throngs, passing through the ex-
tremest length of Virginia would wonder
fully stimulate and augment the receipts Of
our impoverished treasury.
The consideration of this subject in all
its " ide relations we abstain from, and will
treat it almost exclusively in reference to
its bearing on the interests of the Virginia
and Tennessee Railroad. We also shall
pass by what We know nothing of-the

A New Map.

We have examined with some minute.
ness map lately published by Jacob
Monk of Baltimore, exhibiting the United
States and Territories-the British prov
inces, Mexico, Central America the West
India Islands &c, with the Railroads and
Canals in the United States-the various
routes to California, and the principal
sailing routes Of the world. There are
marginal tables giving the distances be-
tween prominent places in this. and other
countries. and the names and shire-towns
of all the counties Of the different States,
with other useful information. In addi-
ton to the main map, there is a smaller
one, upon the same canvass, exhibiting
view of the world. on Mercator's projec-
ton. The map is the most comprehensive
and satisfactory that we have ever seen /:
it is eminently SO with reference to the
new territories, and the Indian countries
in respect to which, it is compiled from
recent surveys conducted by officers of
the Government and may be relied on as
accurate. Asa guide to those who are in
terestng themselves in the great system of
internal improvement, which is spreading
over the whole country, it will be of the
greatest value. 1t is got up in fine style
is offered at moderate price, and as
map for popular use, families and schools.
we have very little doubt is the best now
cXtant.

Fillmore's term Of office has been marked
by singular success; and it may be said Of

thought, was the only Wing who could

Here IS INC extract:
The Knoxville and Charleston
Railway.

The extension Of the Railroad, from An
derson to Knoxville, to Chattanooga,
meets SO far as we have heard with univer-
sal appreciation. The Southern Rights AID
vocate says,that it opens up to South Car
DINA, one of the most magnificent enter
prses of the age. and will prove with us,
if we are not mistaken. the beginning, com
paratively speaking, of Railroad era.
The Gazette, at first, doubted whether
the route would be favorable one; but ii
is now satisfied on that score, and it warm
ly espouses the enterprise, and says, that
"the extension of the Greenvile and Col
umbia Railroad across the Blue Ridge, by
the way of Knoxville to Cincinnati, will be
the completion Of the original magnifcen,
undertaking to connect Charleston with
the great West However chimerical the
idea may have been regarded after the
failure Of that scheme, the improvement in
Railroad building, and the accomplish.
ment ofq quite as difficult projects, have now
demonstrated its entire practicabili,y.-
The country through Rabun Gap, so far
from being mountainous, is said by men
ofjudgement and experience, who have a
knowledge oft, to be quite as level and
well adapted for the track of a road as our
own District; and it is known that Mr.
Calhoun preferred this route to the one
through Spartanburg, for the Charleston
and Cincinnati road-having made per-
sonal exploration of it. From this place
to where it would cross the river,
the country is SO level, that the grad.
ing would amount to little or moth
ing. The route would lie thence by the
way of Clayton, and striking the Hiwas-
see River on the side of the mountains
! down that stream to its intersection with
the road from Dalton to Knoxville, which
is now in progress of building. and prom.
ises to be speedily finished"
The Knoxville Register ofthe 22d ult.,
says:
"The bill loaning the bonds of the State
to the amount of one hundred thousand
dollars. to build the bridge for the Eas,
Tennessee and Geogia Railroad, at Lon.
don. passed the Senate on its third and
last reading on the 18th inst, by vote Of
16 to A. No doubt is entertained but that
it will pass the House by very large ma
jority. In the general internal improve
ment bill, which will also. without doubt,
become law; provision is made for a
loan Of bonds to purchase the iron and e
quipments necessary to complete the road
to the place. This aid from the State,
