MANIFEST DEsTrNY.--Ihe Editor of the Fl
ncastle Democrat thus disoourseth about the Bon
sack q Clifton Forge Railroad scheme. We be
lieve he is right
The report was circulated here,o Monday last,
that the Bonsack IL Clifton Fo ge Railroad bill
was defeated. We pronounced il hoax at the
time, and can now say that it a hoax. The
world, the flesh and the devil cart defeat that
proposition. 1t may however, by some art of
hocus pccus, get the go-by for the present sess-
ion,-though we even doubt that, The Genius
that presides over the destnes of Railroads has
long since decreed that there shall be a road from
Bonsack's to Clifton Forge-and what is 10 be,
iciH be, as everybody knows; we had just as
well let it be and, as Dow says, so mote IL be.

The Richmond Enquirer advocates the con-
version of the present State Armory into a mill
tary school, and, while guarding the public prop
erty with equal safety, employing the same mo-
ney in the education Of hundred young men of
the State. The simple question is, says the En-
quirer, whether the Legislature will continue to
devote 1850 TO mere police for the protec-
ton of the public property, or will convert that
sum to the advancement of education, the train
ing up of teachers for the primary schools-and
at the same time securing the same efficient police
which we now have" We do not see how two
opinions can exist on the subject

very acute Senator from North Carolina, Mr.. Bad
ger, has wooed US most persuasively to wiave our
objects to the ptincple, it is called, of ron
intervention by assuring us That the slave holders
can only use slave labor where the soils and eli
mates favor the culture of tobacco, cotton, rice
and sugar, to which he replied that some of them
may find these econgenial soils or climates at The
Sourcesef the Mississippi OF in the valley ofthe
Rocky, MoyntsIns. Why then does he want 10 re-
move their habitation there2 But again that SEN
ator reproduces pleasing fiction OF The character
of slavery from the Jewish History, and asks why
not allow the modern patriarchs 10 30 into new
regions with tIeir slaves, their ancient Proto-
Types did to make themm5re comfortable and hap
Ply. And he tells us at the same time that this in
dulgency will not incEesse the, number or slaves.
