SouthsIde Railroad bill, and, as consequence,
the success of the other bills passed, TO the
exertions OF Mr. Wallace of Petersburg.
REMOVAL OF FREE NEGROES.
Our neighbors of the Wing and Times both
oppose the bill, introduced for this purpose, by
Dir. Browne of King George, and as At appears
to us, with very great propriety. 1t certainly
appears to us TO be a very harsh measure IN
asmuch as it proposes to hire out the subjects
of it as slaves, to appropriate the proceeds
to their removal to some place not specified,
and to sell al such into slavery as shall be
found within the State at the end of FIVE years.
We can hardly think that any legislature, not
divested of sill humanity, will pass any such
law. The proposition of Mr.. Bottom of Anne
liza, is mlder, but still liable TO great objections
very important part, in the industrial &C.
equations of the State, is filled by the free me-
gro population. They have been found ex-
tremely Convenient in the country to the farm
ers, when suddenly pressed by an amount of
work TO do greater than they can accomplish
by their regular force, (as in harvest, for in
stance ! So necessary has this assistance be-
come, that it must be supplied by somebody {.
By whom shall it be supplied By a new
race of white laborers, com ,ng, probably, from
the very hot beds of aboiitionism Will the
country gain any thing by such an exchange!
We doubt it very much.
The degraded character Of the free negro
and his evil influence upon the slave popula-
- h. Ana
of them are, it is true, in a very degraded
state, but, on the other hand, there are, among
them, many men of industry, intelligence, and
general good character. The loafing free me-
gro is not half SO bad as the loahng white man.
because he is much more afraid of the law, and
much more amenable to reason. Of all crea-
lures on earth, the most degraded, is a low,
mean " bite man.
With regard to the influence on the slave pc.
pulation, we think we may say that one north
ern abolitionist land this bill is preparing the
way for 50,000,) can do more harm than all the
free negroes in the State. We appeal to the
knowledge of every man who has had the
fortune to know any thing of the matter, to sus
tain us. There have been Instructions ir Vir.
ginia-two of them quite considerable. Was
there in either, an instance of free negro priv
ty, consent, or complication in any manner
whatever. Not one.
We hope, then, our legislature will pause
before they rashly and inconsiderately dis
place so large an element of labor-before they
introduce in its place class of raving fana-
tics from the Northern States. A part from
the inhumanity of the act, we regard it as
fraught with immense danger.
Liberia is the tue place for the free man of
color. 1t should be the policy of our govern
ment TO encourage his emigration thither-
The whole free coored population may thus,
in the end, be gotten off, without experiencing
the danger resulting from a sudden and vio-
lent destruction OF so much labor.

RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS Yesterday morning
white woman, named Catharine Houston, who
keeps petty negro GROCERY on Broad street, near
t1e corporation limits was brought before the May
or on the charge of receiving twenty FIVE pounds Of
stolen wool, worth so cents per pound, from ne
gro named Thomas Mosby, formerly teamster in
the employ of Messrs. Clarke g. Hatcher. 1t ap-
peared from the evidence and the statements OF
Mrs. Houston, that this negro was in the habit Of
conveying, on his cart, wool fro Rockets to the
Wooden Factory, and must therefore, have appro
priated certain portions of it to his his
wool he brought regularly to Mrs H., receiving in
return snacks and drinks This series of petty theft
was divulged on Saturday by white boy whom
Mrs. H. sent to the,mill of Messr. Haxall with the
wool to sell. close interrogation brought out the
facts in the case. Officers Tyler and Trueheart
arrested Mrs II. between 2 and o'clock Monday
afternoon. She locked herself up in her bed room
upon hearing of the approach of the officers, and
they had to force an entrance through q second
story window. The Mayor sent her on for exami

direction of the various railroads has been
concerned. The wretchedly narrow spirit Of
the do-nothings, has occasioned much mischief
sectional jealousy much more--and private
interests most of all. II the whole thing were
to be begun now, doubtless very diferentsys-
tenn would be adopted. But that cannot be-
II is too late TO rub out and begin afresh. The
random. hap-hazard, irregular fashion in which
this city lie built, might be decidedly improved
upon. But no man would think oil dwelling
the houses, changing the stree cts, and cutting
through the public squares in order 10 begin
anew. We must make the best of things as they
are; and SO we must do with regard to our sys
tenn ofiniernal improvements. tits great step
the legislature has taken, and it makes tens of
thousands in Virginia breathe freer, as though
load were removed from their hearts.
Ii is proper TO give honor where it is deserv-
ed. The Wing attributes the success of the
Southside Railroad bill, and, as consequence,
the success of the other bills passed, TO the
exertions OF Mr.. Wallace of Petersburg.

SusPIcIous-On Monday evening, between
and o'clock, Mr. R. D. sanxay, living on Main,
between 18th and 18th streets, hearing noise in
his yard as of some one drawing the iron bolt OF
the door, proceeded to the yard, opened the door,
and on looking around discovered a man, named
Thomas Mcclure, endeavorng to screen himself
from observation, by hiding behind projecting
portion of the alley. He Immediately seized HIN
aud had him conveyed to the cage. Yesterday,
Mcclure stated that he was intoxicated at the time
he was seized by Mr.. Sanxay and did not know
where he was or what he was doing. In default OF
5000 security for future god behaviour, Mcclure
was committed to jail,

The "AIR LINE.n-The air line railroad
proposed TO be established from New York to
Norfolk is attracting a considerable share OF
| public attention, andjudging from the favor 1t
| has found with some of the largest capitalists
| of the Empire City, will most probably be con-
strucied at no distant day. As matter OF pub
lie information, we copy from the Norfolk He
| raid the following description of the proposed
route:
| Tracing the line as it is struck on the plat,
| itcu;s off the curve formed by the confluence
| of Elizabeth river, Hampton roads, &C., and
strikes across the peninsula to the Bay side,
about the site of the old Pieasure-house; thence
across the bay to Cape CHARLES; thence along
| the Eastern shore of Virginia, Maryland and
| Delaware; crosses Delaware bay from Cape to
Cape, and proceeds through the Eastern part
| of New Jersey TO point on Raritan bay, call
ed Keyport, when :e it strikes the Battery"
at New York. The distance is less than 800
miles, and is expected to be alta Unable IN ten
hours.
The Herald remarks that it is not probable
that the direct line from Norfolk TO the Bay
side, requiring railroad of some IL miles, will
be adhered to, as the saving in distance would
not exceed the necessary consumption of time
AID expense with which it would be a ttained,
and the water carriage must consequently
commence in Norfolk harbor.
