the proceedings of the rail road convention
which assembled a Richm, nj KY. the 26th
ult. The Weekly Messenger. published IN
that town. brings us the official report, from
which We transcribe the following resolutions
embracing the most important action OF the
body.
"Reoired, That in the opinio on of this con
ven,ion, the construction OF a railroad 10 con
meet the State Of Kentocky and Valley of the
Ohio River with the Southern Atlantic States
is absolutely Necessary to the commerce, trade
and travel of both sections.
Ressyrcd. That the time has arrived for ac-
ton on this subject, and the interests of the
whole country require that all immediate and
united effort be made for the completion ofthc
work.
Resolved. That the great object of this con
ven,ion is to connect the Valley of the Ohio
with The South Atlantic Seaboafd, and that
this purpose will he best subserved, in view of
the Information al present before the committee,
by rail road from Lexington to Cumberland
Gap, uniting with roads in progress and which
nessee, North and South Carolina. and Geor
gia; and thereby securing on The one part the
best connection with Virginia and tho other
Southern States, and on the other. the best
connection with Cincinnati and Louisville.
ResoIced, That the Legislature Of Kentucky
be requested at its next session, To giant a
charter with all the necessary privileges for
the construction of railroad between said
requested to pass such other acts as may bo

Carolina, and Georgia were requested 10 co.
operate with Kentucky and aid in the con
structon of the road; and an adjourned m Ell
ing oi the convention was called at Ash,iIle
n. c. the 25tb August.
Among the speakers was Hon. VIM. Il
Preston of this State, Of whose address the
Messenger says never have we heard speech
which awakened the same sensaton-evep y
word that fell from his lips seemed 10 awaken
more enthusiasm and more interest He held
the hundreds Of anxious persons who were
there assembled spcll.bound. and crenred 10
the hearts ofrhe people Feelings " hich they had
never before entertained on Tire subject of in.
ternal improvements. His fascinating manner
and earnesiness-his sound reasoning and con
vinclng arguments-his profound and exie nsive
knowledge of the subject under dscusslon-
his stirring appeals and sublime eloquence
touched every heart and called forth not un
frequently laundering applause. During the
progress Of his speech the eyes of his entire au
ditory We're at times flcd with tears; every
one. unconsciously, drew nearer and nearetih The
speaker'and his arm, like the magicans wand,
seemed to sway them to and fro-lhe crowded
