Welding the whole question involved in this dis
cnssion say il is better thus TO acknowledge
the weakness of the position assumed, than to
make issues aud then attempt dextero usly 10 a

this latter course l. ii because he is conyin-
cell "that those who live in glass houses should
not throw stones" In the next number. hope
to be able II shew that Trans Allegheny is At
fault n the comparative distance of the two routes
of continuous railroad from tde-wnter 10 the
Ohio.
Trans Allegheny will pardon me fer insisting
that we adhere to the good rule, attend 10 one
thing at time. cannot agree that upon an
issue rendered by himself, he shall evade the gist
of the discussion by considering the "more val
liable developments on the competing sections
from the Mouth of Grcenhricr To the Virginia
and Tennessee Road, and to Covington." lie
will pardon me for considering that he will stick
to the line from Greenbrier via Coyington, Stauu-
ton and Richmond to tide water and | will pro-
misc to adhere to the entire South Side line via
New River, Lynchburg, Petersburg to the At
lantic waters
Before concluding this number, will say n
gain that the nsinuation, that the friends of the
South-Side line are opposed 10 the Coyington
and Ohio Road, or to what Trans Allegheny calls
1.-THE Central Improvement of Virginia. is un-
founded, is unsustaned by any proof whatever
but, on the contrary, the records of Legislative
proceedings disprove most eonclusvely the
charge. We solieitous that this great work
should be constructed; but we insist that in con
structing it greater aud more important line of
Railway should not be pref udced by break of
guage at the Mouth of Greenbrer. We insist
that the five feet guage is ntrinsicny superior
to the feet - inch guage, and that in the case
before u.s. the substitution of tho narrow cnnge
would be detrimental TO the whole State and to
no part of il more than to Richmond If Truns-
Allegheny would only get down from the summit
level of the Allegheny, and clear his visual ray
50 that he could take in more extended horizon,
he would no doubt be able to comprehend why
the South line Of Railroad j. the shortest the
most direct, the most passble in gradient and
the one which should be adopted as the great
trunk line of the State.

The Richmond Examiner, publishes letter

The National lntelligencer says: I'VE learn
with much satisfaction that the report of the death
of ex-senator Downs. Collector of New Orleans
is premature. The error, we understand, arose
hy eoniounding linn with Commodore Downds of
the Navy recently deceased, and from the fact
that Collector Downs had left New Orleans for
kentucky for the benefit ofhs health in which lat
ter place his death WAS reported TO have taken
place. The President, 1t appears has filled the
supposed vacancy by promoting MIR. Porter, the
surveyor at the port OF New Orleans, and adym-

yeyor. What is TO be done in the premises we
are unable to say, but suppose the word of com
