VIRGINIA TEXN. RuLRoAD.-The many
friends OF this important work will be plea ,ed to
learn that it is now making very encouraging
progress towards completion. The track has
been laid some eight or nine miles west of Wvthe.
vile, and it is believed that the cars will run to
within twelve miles of Abingdon by the close of
the year. The East Tennessee and Virginia
improvement is also going ahead vigorously,
and will, it is supposed, meet our road at Bristol
some time next year.

Almost queen-like she looked, with
her petite figure stretched to its full
height, as she stood, an instant af.
