rus RICHMOND AID FREDERICKSBURG RAIL
ROAD AND STEAMBOAT LINE.-A recent Journey
over the Richmond and FREDERICKSBURG na"'oAa'
and mon the Potomac to Washington, taken after
very long interval satisfies as that the same 40.
mirable management prevails that distinguished
both the Road and the Steamboat line IN times oy-
gone. The order, the security which has marked
she history of the Fredericksburg road deserve
to be especially commended No passenger has
ever lost his life upon the road and no serious &C
cidens has ever happened to one. Then the uni
versal potencss Of the officers of the line is al
ways gratifying to the traveller.
The road 10 re.laid with heavy rail for good
part of the route and arrangements are on foot TO
relay the whole of It. A cargo of iron for FMS
purpose Is looked for now. The part OF the ROAD
which il re.laid viii compare fayorabiy win any
road In the Union. No Northern road Is SO Tree
from dust as this road Indeed 1t is great relief
after travelling on the great Northern lines inha-
ling clouds of dust and having your clothing ruined
by it, to get on the Fredericksburg road, and find
yourself comfortable and freed almost entirely
from this annoyance. This fact excites the sur.
prise, and eiicits the praise Of all passengers.
The Potomac Is one of the most delightful rivers
n the Union, and we always feel that we are en-.
joying great luxury to behold it. and to be trans
ported uponit. The fine steamer Mount Vernon,
under the efficient and obliging Capt. REYNOLDS,
makes the trip fsm Aqua Greek to Washington
in fine style and excellent time. On the Mount
Vernon we met our old friend, Capt. BOWEN, one
of the politest and most obliging of public officers.
and one of the very best fellows in the world who
adds to the characteristics of the faithful agent
that noble trait of a gentleman which finds salts
faction and pleasure in promoting the ease and en-
joyment Of Others Young Mr.. MATTIEGLY de-
serves our thanks for personal kindness, while he
merits praise for his polite attention to the duties
Of his Office. 1t was to him that we were indebted
for delicious treat of " Soft Crabs from "Piney
Point" aud while feasting upon them, we yearned
to be at that salt water retreat on the Potomac I'M
der the protection and medical advice of mine
host, DR.. DIX, whose most uupaatabIe prescrip.
ton Is a soft crab and whose severest counter ir-
Iitant is a salt bath.
We find it embarrassing to attempt a greater
particularly as to individuals the railroad and
water line, from every officer of which we expe.
renced the kindest Observation-Disclosures which
seemed not especially manifested towards US, bat
which seemed to be part of the general system
of department towards passengers.
A GREAT CRAsH.-There was tremendous
crash yesterday In the falling Of the large store
Governor street, occupied by the Messrs. HABLIs
TON, notice of which will be found in our local
column The house belonged to the estate of the
late WIN. MITCHELL. The loss must be heavy,
and of course cannot be covered by insurance -
The Messrs. HABLIsToN will be subjected to both
loss and inconvenience, and there is much sympa.

is indeed q most remarkable fact-we may almost
say miracle-that no one was killed. notwith.
standing that the accident occurred at time of
day when numbers of persons are always passing
along the street when there were men digging
in the foundation beside the wall, and when q
