= ne mtm0fim of SuHdrH hhutifdnfS o. me conn
ties Of PiHSyipdnio, Henry, Patrick, Franklin
Bedford and Campbell TO The General Assem-
big Of Virginia, respect fully sets forth
That the region of country they inhabt has n
good soil, fine climate, an industrious and in
telligent population, but is without good roads,
and parts of it are far from market SO that agri-
cultural pursuits therein are Improbable. They
further represent that the portion of the region
referred to- which borders ON North Carolina, be-
sides having highly productive soil yielding
abundant crops of tobacco and grain, contains
extensive fields OF coal and iron; but such is the
expense and delay of transportation, that those
neeessaries which will not beara high rate can
not be brought in competition with the coal and
iron found upon naygable waters or in the vicin-
ity of improvements which can atiorda cheaper
transportation.
10 remedy these inconyenences land the better
To develop the resources of the country re-
terred to, your memorialists pray your honora-
BILE body to grant charter for a Railroad from
Lynchburg, our accustomed marker, to point
upon the Virginia and North Carolina line, in or
near the direction OF the mouth of Smiths River.
Such road would enable your memorialists to
carry the products of their lands to their market
on terms as favorable as have been furnished to
the inhabitants of other counties, who send to the
same market, and wou enable them to open
their mines OF coal and iron, for the supply of
toundrles and factories ON James River, and n
long the line Of their road. Moreover, by the ad-
dition of u short link, of about thirty or thirty
FIVE miles, connecting its Southern terminus with
the North Carolina Central Road,it would be made
part of the chain of Railroads now in operation,
and IN process of construction in the States of
\. Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia That
such link would be speedily constructed ly the
people OF the Western portion of n. Carolina,
when they observe how completely their people
are shut out not only from the markets of other
States, but also of their own State by the harr-
erS OF the mountain on one side, and the remote
ness of the coast and insuiiciency of their
harbors on the other; and when they observe fur
ther, with how much less expense and difficulty
the products of that rich country, can be brought
to our own markets ny means of the proposed
road, with the connecting link aforesaid, your
memorialists do not doubt.
Your memorialists represent that the proposed
road is entirely practicable that it can, in their
opinion, be made at cost certainly not greater
than that of other roads. which have been con-
strnctcd and chartered by your Honorable body
mat the transportation travel upon ii within the
hmits OF Virginia would be as considerable, look
ing to 1t as a local IMPROVEMENTS upon any
line OF railroad of the same length in the State,
aud whenit is considered as part of the chain
OF Southern roads,opening quick and easy com
muhleation with the States of North and South
Carolina and Georgia, il is obvious that such

Eighty pages per month Of choice reading

The "home magazine" was commence
October 1882: the editor is T, S. Arthur
in Whose hands is the entire editorial charg
of the work. A new novelette, from hi
pen was commenced in the first number
entitled "the old mans BRIDE"
This story is continued through the fir$
four numbers Of the magazine, from Octd
Der to January. With the February mum
Der another new story by Mr.. Arthur, enf
tied "sparing TO spend or, the lotions an

in the first volume of the home m2gazi1,
two nouvellettes by the editor will be pI-
lished. AS only limited edition of To
first numbers of the magazine was prinif,

send in their subscriptions early.
FI In order to prevent misappYehens1 in
on the part of the public, we will here Stte
that the home magazine is monthly is4e

articles that appear therein, thus fixing in
permanent shape and for circulation in NV
channels, literary matter from the pens pf
many Of the ablest writers in the county.

Late and Important Reduction in
Postage,

We congratulate our subscribers and the
reading public generally, on the cheapness
with which they can now receive our re-
prints by mail. The postage hitherto-al-
though gradually reduced since lS44--has
always operated as Encouragement to
their circulation in places inaccessible by
expresses or other modes Of regular private
conveyance. Hence as yet they have OBJ
tanned but comparatively meagre mail Cir
culation. We hope, now that the postage
is merely nominal, a new impetus will be
given to these valuable works. and that no
Post Office within the United States will
remain unvisited by one copy at least of
the Four Reviews and Blackwood's Maya
zine,
To show the great reduction in the rates
of postage since 1874, we subjoin the fol-
lowing table:
Prior to lS45 the postage on Blackwood
was 81 40, on Review 81 10; IS45 TO
1851 Blackwood 81 90, a Review so so;
1851 to 1852 Blackwood so rs, average
distance, Review so So; 1852 common
cling Oct. lst., Blackwood SO "a, all dis
tances, Review so IL.
The postage on Blackwood and the Four
Reviews is now but 70 cents year. Prior
20 1913 it was Sc so; the subscription
price of Blackwood at the same time was
five dollars year. 1t is now but three
dollars, and when taken with any of the
four Reviews, but two dollars year
Present subscription prices to the Lon
don, Edinburgh, Westminster, and North
British Quarterly Reviews, and Black
woods Magazine.
For any one Of the four Reviews, $50 90
For any two of the four Reviews, 5 90
For any three of the four Reviews, 7 90
Fer all four Of the Reviews, 8 90

PROSPECTUS OF ME
Southern Literary Messenger for 1852.

Eighteenth Volume. This popular and
favorite magazine, which was established in
the year 1884, and has outived, with a
single honorable exception, all its compet-
tors, will enter upon new volume in jan
uary next.
Although tits departing from the usual
course of the editor to publish list Of con-
tributors, he begS to call the attention of
the Southern people to the following
names, all of them Southern, which he is o I
liberty to mention as enlisted in behalf Of
the Messenger under his management:
Lieut.. NJ. f. Maury, Prof. Ii. A. WASH
ngton, Geo. Frederick Holmes, VIM. M.
Burwell, Rev. Sidney Dyer, Rev. M. D.
Hoge, ]. M. Legare, ]. A. Turner, Mrs.
Anna Peyre Dinnies, Miss Margaret Jun
kin, Prof. J. T. L. Preston, Prot Geo. E.
Dabney, M. r. H. Garnett, John B. Dab
ney, Rev. G. r. Vaughan, DR.. ]. G. McCabe,
d.. S. H. Dickson, Judge A. B. Meek, Car
oline Howard, Col. p, St. Geo. Cook, u. S.
Dragons, Prof. Sehelle De We're, Charles
Campbell, Hugh r. Peasants, Rev. VIM.
H. Foote, Rev. ]. H. Bobock, w. Gilmore
Simms, Hon. Judge b. F. Porter, Mrs. E..
H. Evans, Miss Susan Archer TalIey.
The Messenger is also furnished with
articles from Northern contributors, such
as H. @. Tuckerman, Esq, TX Marvel,
w. S. w. Ruschenberger, u. S. N; Miss
Anne Z. Lynch, r. II. Stoddard, Esq, Miss
Mary Il. Hewitt, ID. P. Barhydt, Mrs. Z. J..
Eames, and others.
The Messenger, however, has never res.
ted its claims 10 public favor upon the
names of its contributors, but only upon
the basis of solid excellence. Several of
the most popular works Of the day were
originally prepared for the Messenger and
published in its pages, among which may be
mentioned, TX Marvel's 'Reveries OF a Bach
elor,' and Tuckerman's characteristics OF
LiteratIre.'
To the Southern people it appeals strong
ly as the acknowledged literary organ Of the
Southern States.
The editor is determined to make ii
worthy of the South and Of the country.
The contents, as heretofore, will embrace
reviews, historical and biographical sketch
es, novels, tales, travels, essays, poems, crit
iques, and papers on the army, navy, and
national subjects.
The Messenger will also continue to pre-
sent articles of scientific character, such as
during past years have excited the most
marked attention on both sides of the At
lantic.
The Paris correspondent of the Messen-
ger will, as heretofore, occasionally supply,
the latest intelligence in literature, science
and art, from the French capital.
Of the editorial and critical department
of the Messenger, the editor will only say
that it will embrace copious notes on the
current literature, and reviews of all new
American or foreign works of general in
terest and value. His opinions will at least
be always fearlessly and honestly avowed.
TERMs.-$5 per annum, invariably in
advance. a.. ....

spontaneous acknowledgment, that the

the price at which so many papers can now
be obtained. To this desire we have yield
