The DanriHc Raitroad-Ihe Lynehburg
Hfrginfnn.

Tie DonriHc Raiiroad-1he Lynchburg
Virginion.
We confess our great satisfaction at the tone
and temper of the Lynchburg Virginian to-
wards the DanviIle Railroad. We cannot
muster energy enough to dispute the rival me-
rits Of works which it appears are now SO
friendly-so entirely mutual in their kind re-
gard for each other. We are much gratified
by the following paragraphs in the Virginian's
article:
We can, in all sincerity, say to the Dam
vile Railroad, "God speed" and we heartily
wish it all the success that human legislation
can give it. We trust and believe that every
member of the Legislature from our county,
and all the counties along the line of our road
will vote for granting to that road such aid as
NAV be necessary 10 complete it.
We do not pretend to place q very small VA
lue upon our Sheet but il certainly never once
entered our thoughts, that we could influence
the legislation of either North or South ca
roiina. Unless the Dispatch fears that our in
huence may extend thus far, we cannot COM
prehend why SO much feeling should have been
displayed in its columns. At all events, we
do distinctly deny entertaining "the hope' or
the wish, that North Carolina should refuse

have, one feeling ofjealousy toward that work

ginia owe deep debt of gratitude to the wor-
thy President of the DanyilIe road, for his able
support at an hour when help was greatly
needed.
This is highly sredtable;to our friend of the
Virginian, and to the representatives to whom
he alludes. Ii is right view Of the policy Of
the State, and by acting as the Virgininn says
they v i'll act, they will show proper regard
for very important public Improvement.
So now we are perfectly willing TO let the
humor on the subject of the Buf1aloes and the
Yankees pass" The two routes will have
quite enough trade and travel to secure their
own prosperity, and add incidentally to the
wealth of the State. It is our ardent hope to
see both completed in two wears time,

Something would be saved.
The editor of the Intelligencer regards all
his predictions as verified. He speaks as
tho the world were completed, and there was
no time for change or progress. Because the
North Carolina Legislature refused junction,
is that a reason why they shall eternally re-
fuse I He predicted that the stock in the road
would never be in gun shot of par-and he
thinks it never will. He will be walked up
some fine morning ifhe lives to be an ordina-
rily old gentleman with some information that
will decidedly confound his prophecies. The
operations of the road on the short portion of it
that is finished, are highly encouraging and
as it goes on its success will be in geometri-
cal ratio. The land of desolation will send forth
fruits that will astonish the editor of the Intelli-
gencer, who, like Alexander, once passed thro'
that desert in search of the oasis but unlike
Alexander, he says he never found it But
should he traverse the desert short time
hence, he will find an oasis-a fine railroad
that will cause the desert to blossom as rose,
and inspire industry and energy on every
hand.
We are in the best humor on the subject of
Railroads. We go heartily with our friend of
the Intelligencer for every road he is in favor
of; anc regret that we cannot have his co-opera-
ton in the support of some he is opposed to.
We applaud bis energy and the zeal and pub.
lie spirit OF Petersburg in behalf of some of the
noblest works of the State, and If we cannot
have their sympathy in behalf of some others,
why we Inust even hope that they will succeed
without them,

OCEAN STEAMERS.

tits well known to our resders that application
has already been made to Congress for additional
compen sation to be made to the Collins line of
Steamers in order to enable it to compete with the
Cunard line. We regard the question involved in
this application OF deep importance. It, in
fact, involves the future mastery of the seas it
decides whether the trident shall be struck from
the hands of old England, or whether she shall still
retain it. On all the wide ocean we have no rival
to dread but England, and England very well
knows that she has rival to fear but usher de.
scendants-and her equals in every thing that en-.
tiers into the constitution of great naval people
About seven years ago the Post Master General
advertised for proposals to construct ocean steam
ers for several routes from this country to foreign
ports This was done in obedience to an act Of
Congress, passed for that especial occasion. Fif-
teen steamers were accordingly built-three for
the Havre ine four forthc Liverpool line three for
the Chagres line, and four others for the Pacific
line. The great contest has been on the Liverpool
line. The British government with true policy. as
we have always Thought, have greatly added to the
efficiency of the Cunard llne the object evidently

q singular case of swindlng occurred
IN Reading, N. c.. a few days since. A young
man was passing the door of Valentine Riffert,
when the wife of R. came out and invited him
into the house, stating that her husband wished
to see him. After some hesitation he did so,
when the lady locked the door, and very un-
tremendously seated herself on his lap. Not
relishing such demonstrations of affection he
pushed her from him, when she let herself
fall on the floor and made an alarm. Riffert, in
company with another man, then rushed from
hiding place, brandished a dirk knife, and
succeeded in obtaining 800 from the young
man. as balm for the wounded innocence of
the wife! Riffert was subsequently arrested
and the money recovered

the page of political history, that after five days

National Wing Convention nominated Gen.
Scott for the Presidency by majority of ten
votes, 149 being necessary for choice and
this result brought shout only by the endur-
ance and brow-beatiag. of the Scott wing of the
party. Fillmore and Webster's friends fought
