Warn the people, then whatsoever heareth
the sound of the trumpet, anI taketh not

away, Ills blool shall be dpoh his own

"But if the watchmln sac the sword

and take any person from among them, lie

And gaiiy dips the roaring main,
That flag to every breeze unfured
The pride and glory of the world
Bright emblem OF the bravo and free,

That traitors hearts within you burnS
Will ye thus act, and have 1t said

Il new Railroad Sohenle.

We find in the alexandria Gazette, of the 9th
inst, a communication giving the annexed ex-
tract from the last report of the Examining Com
mittee of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad
Company. recommending the construction of u
Railroad from Charlottesville to Petersburg, by
the most direct route. Strangely enough, as it
seems to Us, the recommendation of the Com
mittee was unanimously approved by the stock
holders, in the adoption of the following resola.
ton
ReSolred, That tho President aud Directors Of
the Company be, and they are hereby Instructed
to petition the Legislature of Virginia for the pas.
Eage of an act to provide for an extension of the
Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad from Peters
burg TO Charlottesville, and the construction oil
a road FROM some convenient point on the exten-
sion to Richmond, and for a State subscription to
the same.
As our readers cannot be otherwise than Gu
rious to kuow the reasons which, in the judgment
of the committee and the stockholders, call for
the construction of this work, we give them
ut is well known that the State is now con
structing at vast expense, with money contribu
ted by all sections of the commonwealth, atun,
mel through the Blue Ridge; and a similar on,
through the Alleghanies, d~esignad to give to the
several cities on her eastern borders access ia
the agricultural and mineral treasures of the Val
ley, and ultimately to the Ohio River and tho
States beyond. by a central route. With tie for
mer of these tunnels, the cities of Alexandria and
Richmond have already made their connexions
the former by the Orange and Alexandria, and the
latter by the Central Road, while Fredericksburg
is stretching an arm 10 the same common centre
by means OF her Gorlonsyille Road now in pro.
gress.
Now, there Is M raasan why the cities of Pc.
tersburg and Norfolk should not come in for as
