nj. ,r.nre ana Alexandria nxtension.

The friends of this important improvement are
diligently engaged in efforts to raise the means
for its construction. In the present prosperous
state Of agriculture the farmers and land-holders
along the route have il in their power TO render
material aid: and wise regard for their future
interests demands that they should do so. In
deed,we do not hesitate TO say.that if Albemarle.
Nelson and Amherst we're TO take upon them
selves the entire burthen Of the work, they would
be more than recompensed by the advantages
they would derive from IL. But il would be I'M
reasonable to require this. Other points are not
less Interested. and one Of these is Lynchburg.
Our citizens have never shown reluctance TO in
vest their means wherever duty or interest re-
ouired-and we are persuaded that when they are
made sensible of the exigencies of the company;
and the benefits they may expect from tho
speedy completion of the work they viii answer
any reasonable call that may be made upon them.
We are happy to state that the Hon. WV. c.
RrvEs, who is giving his great influence and
splendid abilities earnestly to the work, will visit
Lynchburg this week, for the purpose OF commu-
ming with our people upon the subject 1t is
probable he will address them pubcly-if so,no-
tice will be given of the time and place. Wear
happy to state also that our distinguished fellow
citizen HoS. JAMES GARLAND will address the
people of Amherst and Nelson at their next eoun-
ty courts.

Tho Filibusters :

The Charleston Courier, careful aud reliable
journal, gives prominence 20 statement cen
tanned in letter just received in that city from
New Orleans, which states as a fact that upwards
of million of dollars is now in the hands of a
committee lhaN subscribed by Cuban Creoles)
for the purpose Of equirping force, necessary
for the subjugation of the Island, and of putting
an end to Spanish tyranny.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun denies that General Quitman is imph-
caiel in the movement Quitman, it viii be re-
membered, figured conspicuously in the Lopez
trial. II is said that correspondence passed be-
tween him and President Pierce, just before the
latter issued his Proclamation.
If there be any truth in the story that the
Spanish Government have really begun to con
template the transfer .af Cuba .to the L. States
for consideration, what is called fiibusterism
will bedead, so far as Cuba is concerned. But
then il Isl not in the nature of persons suscepti-
BILE of impulses of that kind, 10 be at rest Some
other Cuba will be found out TO operate upon

ifest destiny and we arenot expected to see it
halt till IL brings us somewhere down about tho

j. f. Snodgrass, at his residence in Parkers
burg, Va, on Monday last. At the time of his
death, Mr. Snodgrass represented the 10Th dis
trct OF Virgin in the present Congress, The
demise OF gentleman widely known. and so
universally beloved has produced, as might have
been expected, animpression Of profound regret

enjoyment of his customary health and partici-
Pat'ng IN the business in which his fellow mem.
oers were engaged, with his accustomed energy
OF purpose. We little thought at the time that
his long, useful. and honorable career was so

.REpEAL--REPEAI--Is THE WORK. he
was the cry of the Aboiitionists, Immediately
after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law and
they more than once made the attempt through
their. friends in Congress. In every case the al
tempt was an utter failure. The lat vote taken
in the Senate showed only four votes in favor OF
repeal. The passage of the Nebraska Bill has
raised again the cry of Repeal II is now to
be repeal both Of the Nebraska Bill, and of the
Fugitive Slave Law. We shall see what number
of delegates may be willing 10 stultify themselves
by undoing work deliberately done,and so prop
er 10 be done.

CRITICAL Position OF THE STEAMSHIP ASIA
The steamship Asia, Capt. Lotion her last voy-
age from Liverpool to Jersey City with one hun
dred and sixty-eight passengers, most narrowly
escaped the fate which doubtless has befallen the
steamship City of Glasgow. On Sunday May %,
nj half past F. NJ, in north latitude "A deg. and
lon. ~ deg. 30 m. W. in dense fog, fell in with
an iceberg of fearful size and elcyation-at least
one hundred feet high. Her vgilant captain, Mr..
Lott aud his chief officer, Mr.. Anderson, being
on the look out, were the first to noticeit, and as
the fog partially lifted, gave the order "hard u
starboard," at the same time giving the needful
signal to the engineers on duty below. The or
der was instantaneously obeyed, and the ship
which was going very rapidly, quickly minding
immense island A very few minutes more and
none would have existed to tell the sad tale.

| Ladies' IN General-Irish Ladies in Particular.
| A French vsiter to Dublin describes the beau
ties Of Erin in the following enthusiastic tribute;
''If we dare compare them, we would say that

English. In regularity of f'atures, and purity
Of outline, they are cxeeled, possibly. by the
hot house blossoms of English aristocracy, where
severe statuesane beauty is hereditary The VI
vacity, the expression. the mobility of Irish fea-
lures are the very reverse Of this cold, calm,
Saxon distinction. Less beautiful than English
beauty. in the artistic sense, Iri,h beauty Is i'm
mensely more attractive. We are not frequently
surprised by the antique perfection Of the inces
IN Ireland, but we find ourselves far oftener say

admire them" And now comes the very highest

Boat IN THE RApIps.-About noon on Mon
day, our citizens were startled by the announce
ment that boat was coming down the rapids a.
bove Cont Island. The excitement was increas-
ed, as rumors of persons on board wern circua-
ted. The boat proved to be lake scow, in the
employ of T. h. Porter, Esq, and had got IL
drift above Grass Island She hoated down by
the east side of that Island, and it seems TO be the
opinion generally entertained, that had the per.
sons. three or four in number aboard, not been
frightened they might have landed her at the
head OF the Hydraulic canal But the desire of
selfpreservaton prompted them to tnke to their
small boat and put ashore, leaving the scow. with
small dog, a gun, and some articles of clothing,
all OF which toated down to point just west of
the mead OF Goat Island and above the Three Sis.
;ers, where the boat became firmly fastened IA
the rock. II has since been qaite u prominent
