The York River Railroad,

Wecommcnce to-day, the publication offs correspon-
dence on this subject to which the attention of Rich
mOnd readers is especially invited.
We have long thought that this is one of the most
important works for the future prosperity Of this city,
The correspondence publish demonstrates that it
can be cheaply and speedily constructed. We hope
our capitalists and business will see that the
means are promptly forthcoming. When the i'm
provements to the West completed, our sand
barred river will be found wholly inadequate dis
embogue the products of that fertile region. In
fact, it is not sufficient Trade will seek other
routes and line of the Central Road may he ex-
tended to York River and leave Richmond out of the
question altogether. Selfpreservation then, well
as future prosperity, demands that should bestr
ourselves for the completion of this road 1t may de-
stroy those curious relics Of former age the
mule oyster carts-whch travel 10y night;-but tina t
is the only injury it will nict while the benefit,
resulting from it will be incalculable The oyster
and fish trade from the York River would alone make
the stock pay good dividend. The road must lie
built-if Richmond people will not do 1.-THE people

THE undersigned, Citizens Of, respectfully peti-

any state oi this Union admitting domestic Slavery,
shall decree the emancipation Of all Slaves and the final
extinction OF involuntary servtude within her borders,
an exact ion Of said slaves shall be made and
the sum of-dolars for each and every slave emanci.
psed shall be paid TO such State from the Treasury Of the
United States at such periods and In such shah

Several Of the New York papers have heretofore pub
ished the same and commented upon it, but appear

would become Of the negroes after they emancpated
On this subject the N. o. Bulletin submits the following
pertinent remarks

is plainly evident that II the Southern States should
