INTERESTING ScENE.-The Taahasse Fori-
dian of the 18th instant, says:
We were accidentally present at scene in the
House OF Representatives on Saturday last, of
deep and stirring interest. It being the 9Th Of
January, the anniversary of the battle of New
Orleans, a motion was made that the lag of the
Union, which usually occupieda position overthe
Speakers chair, but which happened to be in one
corner OF the room at that time, be unfurled and
placed in its proper position. Another motion
was then made, and carried by reclamation, that
Gen. K. K. Call, who was observed to be in the
Hail. be invited to unfurl the flag. The General
was an active participant in the bloody field of
Chalmete. as aid to the glorious old chieftain then
in the full vigor of intellectual and physical
greatness, and there therefore, striking pro-
prlety In the request which was made of hi i'm
He complied. Gravely aud deliberately he ad-
vanced, took the flag in his hands, and unfurled
it by the side of the Speaker. when such an out
burst OF patriotic emotion sweed up from every
heart present as has not often been witnessed in
that Assembly. The General proceeded briefly,
with an eloquence inspired by the exciting re-.
collections OF the day, to address the General
Assembly, for by this time Senators had fiocked
in, attracted by the capping of hands and other
demonstrations of qualification which had contin-
ued to greet Gen. Call from the first moment he
stepped within the bar of the house. After he
concluded, a unanimous invitation was given him
to take seat on the Speakers stand, which was
accepted.

Internal Improvement.

Improvement.
The passage by the House of Delegates of the
southside, Covington and Ohio and Manassas Gap
railroad bills would seem to Indicate that Virgil
mia is at last aroused to the importance of COM
plotting speedily h great system of internal i'm
provements. aud that it is her fixed determination
to do so. These measures, it is true, have vet to
pass through the ordeal of the Senate, but we
cannot bring ourselves to believe for moment
that they will be vetoed by that body after the
highly favourable verdict of the popular branch of
the legislature.
The construction of railroad from Covington
to the Ohio river is gigantic enterprise, and the
idea of undertaking it OH State account would in
former days have startled this quiet and sluggish
old commonwealth But those days, we trust,
are gone forever. Virginia has at length caught
the spirit OF energetic enterprise which animates
her sister States, and will no longer shrink from
sncountering difficulties which they have already
overcome.
The distance from Covington to Point Plea
SAINT, on the Ohio, is 228 miles. A survey of the
route has recently been made under the direction
ofthe Board of Public Works, by Mr. Shaw,
who estimated the cost of the work at $2l 900
per mile. including the building of depots, equip
ment of the road, &c. Mr.. Shaw states that from
the mouth of the Kanawha coming eastward for
200 miles there is no grade exceeding 20 feet to
the mile. AT the crossing of the Allegheny there
will be two miles of 90 feet to the mile These
facts show that the line is of very favorable cha
acter for the construction of railroad.

GOV. MARCY.

The Examiner asks our authority for CHASING
Gov. Marcy with the Free Sellers of New Y ork
In reply we have only to say, present, that the
New York papers class Gov. Marcy as ''soft
SHE'LL" which, in the political nomenclature of
the Empire State, is SYNONYMOUS with Renegade
Hunker' or "Barnburner." 1t was from these
journals that we derived our impress sions as to
the Governors position. We have not his Ten
tire record" at hand, bat we promise the Exam
iner to look into it as early possible, and to en-
tighten the public with the result OF our investi-
CATION.
10 the meantime, as the Examiner is in
the vein Of asking questions, perhaps it may
have no objection to answering one. Is not
the editor then aware that at the Baltimore
Democratic Convention the nomination of Marcy
stoutly resisted by. Senator Dickinson and
his friends on the ground that the former was not
a true Hunker! We have heard this at least,
whether the Examiner knows any thing of the
matter not.
By the way, we would suggest to our contem-
porary, that he might employ himself more USE
fully and appropriately at this uncture, in prop
ping Mr.. Dix than Gov. Marcy. Dix is a far
more prominent candidate for seat in the new
Cabinet than Marcy, and his 'record" is a sub
ect of much greater interest than that of the
hero Of the amended in expressbes."
