der.
What can have led to so great change in
the sentiments of the Times with regard to US,
we fancy il is not very difficult to understand.
There has been quite panic in England with
regard TO a French invasion; q possibility
which we set down as among the remoiest.-
Yet it is sufficient to turn the accumulated bit.
terness of seventy years into the very milk OF
human kindness. In the event of struggle
with France, or any of the Continental Pow
ers, the United States might be an Ally, whose
assistance il would be unwise to overlook, and
knowing the natural proneness Of too many of
our countrymen to catch eagerly at the hrsi
word of Recommendation from John Bull, and to
forget all his insults and eontumely, il rs
hoped, no doubt, that we will eagerly jump at
Il e proffered palm. 1t is expected that we are
at once to forget the contumelious treatment
which we received al the World Far-in the
House Of John Bull, as it were-that we are
to overlook the pertinacious zeal with which,
for a quarter Of century, we have been held
up to the scorn of Europe-that we are at
once TO cover with the mantle of generous
oblivion, the vile ISLANDERS which the thousand
and one hired traduce-s Of Britain have per-
petrated at our expense. We are very for
giving people, that is true, and we delight in
turning to John Bull the left cheek when he
has smitten Us on the right. Our public jour
mails, and our perio ideals, think it in exceed
ingly bad taste to retaliate any of the gross in
juries which have been SO long received in ST.
lence, or meekly warded of. We cannot but
hope, however, that some little selfrespect is
still left, and as long as the slightest particle
of il remains, we hope farther, tina; we shall
never have anything more to do with Great
Britain than the state Of our commercial and
territorial relations absolutely requires. We
wish 10 see no war with her, or with any other
Power, for we regard war as the greatest Of ca
lamities except loss Of honor or liberty. But
we want no Communications from that source.

CENTRAL RAILROAD.-SHORT LINE
FROM CHARLOTTESVILLE TO RICH

A most importan; bill for the city Of Rich
mond, is ROW pending before the Senste, viz.
the bill increasing the capital of the Central
Road to enable thst company to build second
track on the shortest line between Charlottes-
vile and Richmond.
Much of the legislation of the present session,
ii not injurious to Richmond, has not been bene-
fetal. Means have been adopted by other
towns to divert trade and travel from this city.
They have not only called on Hercules TO aid
them, but they have put their own shoslsers TO
the wheel. Let Richmond follow their exam
pie and she need not fear.
Norfolk, Petersburg, Fredericksburg, Alex
aHdria, have gotten what they asked, and sure
ly they will allow the Central Road, for the
benef; OF Richmond, to make the best line it
can to secure the trade Of the West from being
diverted from Stanton to Baltimore. The short
track proposed will reduce the present Rail
road distance beiw cen Stanton and Richmond
by estimation ~ enty miles; some, acquainted
with the country, say tWe~ty ttre miles.
The dread of B altmore has been urged by our
friends on the South Side, as an argument against
North Side connection with the Ohio. Baiti.
more is 81 miles farther from Stanton, than Rich
mond is by way of Gordensvle-giva Us this
short track and we will be l02 miles nearer; and
thea surely all approximations may be put to rest.
The Danviile and Central Roads are the main
props md stay Of Richmond. Push the Central
communication to the Ohio-shorten the line as
much as possible between this and Charlottes Vile,
a1d then Richmond will be on footing of fair
equality with her sister cities of the comm on wealth
The following comparison OF distances, will
show the importance Of the proposed short track
There are two routes for the Covington and Ohio
Read, one through Monroe to the mouth of Indian
Greek or New River, the other to the mouth of
| Greenbrier- either will be common point; bu.
as the distances are before as from Greenbrier, we
will take that point from which to estimate
