Small Notes.

1t seems to be general determination
with cur people to observe the law for the
suppression Of the circulation Of Small
Notes. We believe all of our merchants
refuse to take them, and there is not a
farmer in the county who will have any,
thing to do with the stuff. This evidence
OF a disposition to be rid of shinplasters is
truly gratifying. 1t will save those who
have business with the banks considerable
Inconvenience, and force into circulation
bankable and reliable currency.

Cantrai Railroad.

I've have been handed an exhibit Of the
condition and prosperity of the Virginia
Central Railroad Company, by s. B.
Brown, Esq, one of the Directors of the
Company from which we will make a
brief synopsis. Had we time and space
we would copy the whole.
The President and Directors Of th e
Company are authorized to borrow 81
i500,0 900, which it is proposed to secure by
a mortgage upon their works and estate.
The line of the road in daily use from
Richmond to Staunton, including ten miles
of State road is 1873 miles in length.
The money 10 be borrowed is to be APP
Piled to the purchase Of iron to lay The ST.
pcrstructure on SO miles Of road on which
the grading is nearly completed from
Stanton to Millboro, To complete the
grading and track on the IS miles between
MiIlboro and Jackson's River, and to re-
laying of the 40 miles Of fiat rail between
Richmond and Charlottesville.
The security which the Company offer
to the lender consists in productive proper
ty which cost So. 154 094 s., to this must
be added unproductive property OF expen-
dltures made west of Stanton, and which
may be made available by the application
oil the proceeds OF the loan, amounting to
$5S3,513 u. Total cost of Company Is
property t, LIST March, 1854, S2,737, Cos
81. On this there are now debt. secured
by mortgage amounting 4 10 sss,s 500. o,be,
aepes aos seeure.sa by mortgage ss47, $50 81
r-~erss Of security ever .iacumbrance,
S2.0S3,477 rs. To the sum Of $2,737,
Cos 81 cost CT properly, should be addet
$4,000 Of unexpended capital stock, al
Of which is provided to be taken up, max
ing an aggregate basis of credit amounting
TO $3,437,6 08 81 1t will be seen tia
the money borrowed will, almost entirely
be applied in increasing the property o
the company. There are other resources
mentioned, but our article is already get
Ing too long for our space.

Next Governor.

Newspaper writer's are very busy in
bringing 10 public attention the names oil
men who it is thought would make good
Governors for Virginia. Numerous per-
sons have been suggested, and among them
are j. Leteher and C. j. Faulkner of the
Valley, and Wm. Smith, 5. L. Leake and
II, A. Wise, of Eastern Virginia. We
shall not pow express our preference for
either of the gentlemen suggested, al
though we have an opinion OF our own in
relation to the matter. There is one thing
we will say, however, and that is, we do
not want to hear of the claim Of sections
or divisions of the State mentioned in the
selection of candidate. We will sup
port no man who is not above suspicion,
and who would not be a Governor of all
Virginia, irrespective of localities. 1t is
useless and bad policy to embarlass the
action Of the party by appeals to section
al feeling. We are all Yirginians, and
let us have Virginia Gore1nor--and not
an Eastern or Western Executive.

To Our Subscribers.

One month more closes the first year oil
our connection with the Vindicator, and
in view of that fact, we take this ocea
sion to remind all whom it may concern,
that we shall strictly enforce the terms oil
our subscription. TO those. therefore, who
have not paid up for this year, we will an
nounce that if payment is not made before
the Isl Of July, 1854, fco dollars and fti9
ceAfs will be in all cases exacted, and il
delayed three months beyond thar time
three dollars will be claimed. We hope
as it will be more 5e to US, that ev.
cry subscriber who knows himself indebted
sill either come forward and pas, or trans
nit BY mail the amount of his subscrip
ton, previous TO that lime. 1t is impossi
bic for publisher 10 conduct his business
with ease to himself, unless he is prepared
to meet punctualy his liabilities, and to
do this, it is necessary that his supporter
should come up promptly and pay theis
debts. We trust these facts will be borne
in mind, and that we will have no occa-
sion to repeat them.

improvements.

1t will be seen by the Common Council
proceedings, published to-day, that with a
commendable spirit of liberality and en-
ergy, the city Fathers have commenced
the ball ofimprovement. The site ef The
Market House has been selected, and a
committee appointed TO contract for the
building. An appropriation has been
made for the improvement of Lewis Street,
and the proprety of paving the streets
recommended. This evidence Of public spir-
it on the part of the Council corresponds
happily with the enterprise Of private In
diyiduals, which is daily identifying and
improving our town Probably there is
no piece in the State Of Virginia, where
an equal degree of a spirit of improvement
prevails, and where the energies ahdwill Of
the people are more united in prosecuting
pubic Improvements. There are IN this
place not less than fifty buildings in pro-
cess Of completion, and more are contem-
plated

G- A writer in the last Spectator. ovel

Of making straw men, and then after go.

the beliccse spirit breathed. A rogue is
generally the first to cry chief and car.
rying out the illustration, the writer oil
Resistance having expressed the strong
est war feelings against Democrats, is ready
to accuse them of the same motives
This game is perfectly understood, and at-
fords no uneasiness whatever.
The appointment of DR.. Fuqua, Physi,
elan, TO the Deaf and Dumb aud Bind In
stitution, seems TO be a bitter pill to our
Wing flieads. Why so? Not because
he is not professionally qualified. Net
because he is not quiet unobtrusive gem

can--but because, when the election OF
public officers comes of, he in the exer-
else Of his inalenabe right, votes quietly,

This is the sole diSgpalifyiug trait in bis

exhibited By wings, whenever man who
happens 10 be Democrat, succeeds man
who happens to be a Whig, IN office. We

do not question them. They are all high

Case of Fiddler.

The case of Bright B. Fiddler, charged
with bigamy, was taken up on Wednesday
last, in the Circuit Court for this county -
The witnesses Tor the Commonwealth not
appearing, the prisoner was discharged.
The fact of his discharge, is certainly pre-
sumptive evidence Of his innocence, but
whether the lady to whomshe was married
will thus consider the matter, we do not
know. She is now living with her father,
(who is very worthy and respectable gen.
tleman) in an enciente state.

o. We publish to-day card from Mr..
Skinner, one of the Board Of Visitors for
the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and
Blind, in which be corrects an error that
we unwittingly committed in noticing the
appointment Of DR.. Fuqua, Physician to
the Institution. We were led into the
mistake from The fact, that there is no re-
corded opposition to DIR. Fuqua's Eclectic n.
Ifthere were two of the Board in favor OF
electing the old incumbent that fact was
not known, until orally asserted to private
individuals. The impression left on oui
mind from the statement we heard relative
to the election and the official record, was
that it was an ssanaansols' election
Hence the error. We may here be per-
miited to remark, with due Difference to
all the parties, that the record is inexplicit.
Whilst the omission of unanimously" in
the proceedings is intended to convey the
impression that DR.. Fuqua did not receive
tie votes OF all the members Of the Board
it does not convey that impression to the
casual observer. Therefore, any one,
without hncering that opposition had been
made, might naturally conclude that the
Physician was elected unanimously, or
without opposition. We Say this much,
with no wish to criminate the motives oil
any, but simply to yindieate ourself from
an apparent carelessness in stating a fact.
