TsE SoUrnsIpr RAILRoAD--The Republican of
yesterday touches ~ the management OF this compa-
ny with some severity, but inclined to believe
with no injustice We have thought for some time
that there was screw lonse in the managerial de-
parlmcnt Of this work. There hmenhlblc de
velopments of weakness netciency and IMPROVE
deuce last winter. We eampeiled then to think
that it was q summer road adapted to fine weather
only--and not designed for roughing it. But even
now its success is not such make it a model for
all the other roads in tue world. Six hours and a
half over one hundred and twenty miles of road where
there is almost no grade-and when another half
hour at this end of the line would be great conve
nience to the travelling public, is not exactly the
most splendid feat of rairoading yet accomplished
The Republican alleges that the whole working of
the road is directed to promote the interests of
Petersburg at the expense of Richmond and Lynch
burg. 1t is probable that journal will give the at-
fairs of the company and especially its working man
agement pretty good overhauling before it is done.
KANSAS MEErNe.-We are pleased to learn from the.
Republican that there will be meeting of the people
of both parties at Campbell Court House next Mon
day in reference to Kansas matters. This is vital
subject to the whole South and there exists upon it
almost unanimity of opinion. There will be large
meeting beyond doubt.
