ttl = Bill r.
The debate in the Senate on the bill for extend
ing the Norfolk road to Charlottesville, elected one
of the strongest efforts of Mr.. AMBLER, and one
of the most pungent and spicy speeches of Mr..
TAZEwELL, in opposition to the bill; whilst Mr.
McKEENEY, of Norfolk, solitary and alone, battled
manfuIly for his pet. If vigilance and energy
could have accomplished the success of this BILL it
would have passed long ago, for Norfolk has in
Mr. McKEssEY an argus eyed and energetic rep
resentative, who is always at his post, and whose
motto seems to be always to keep moving
But a measure of this kind proposing to tap a
great work, in which the State has large interests
embarked could not be expected to command the
deliberate approval of the Senate of Virginia, es-
pecially at period when Virginia is unable to
complete the works she has already begun, and
derives but little advantage from them even when
they are not tapped by rival improvements.
Mr.. AMBLER set forth the grounds of his opposi.
ton to the in the logical and earnest man.

victions, and evidently convinced every dispas-

We may here remark that the Central and Gov.

that great interest and that, in every measure in
which the city of Richmond is interested she could
not have better friend among her own represent
atives. We are glad to perceive that the petty
j spite and bigotry which were once exhibited
against our fair Metropolis seem to have vanished
entirely from our legislative halls and that the lib
eral and enlightened spirit of which Mr.. AMBLER
ia distinguished and dignifed exponent, seems to
pervade TIE more elevated and intelligent body of
gentlemen who are now assembled in the Capitol

If each would avail itself fully of its peculiar ad
van.ages, the State would have within its own
limits the greatest commercial and the greatest
manufacturing towns of the South. There is no
doubt OF the fact, and we can only wish that these
two sister Cities the growth and prosperity of each
of which, we may add, are dependent upon those
of the other would make all speed each to fulfill its
manifest destiny" and thus add to the aggregate
of the wealth and glory of the State.

FERRY Bears : Mr. Dixon, in the Assembly,
has introduced q bill to carry GU. the views Of
the public with regard to ferry boats He
proposes that every ferry aud steamboat ply
ing on the waters Of this State, +" shall be pro-
vided with as many lifeboats as shall be sufi
cient to carry every passenger on board in
case of accident" This will not do. The
Hudson river steamers carry one thousand
passengers; twenty life boats of the largest
size, that is to say, twenty-five feet long
would be required to fulfil the provisions OF
the law. More than this. We have the best
authority for stating that as many as eighs
hundred passengers have been carried quite
commonly on several of the ferry boats SIX
teen twenty. five feet lifeboats would hardly
carry this number. Now, where can this NUN
Der of boats be slowed?
Lite preserving seats will answer. Life
boats, such as Mr.. Dixon proposes, will not
and the law, if passed, would necessarily be.

1t is common remark that the United
States are at peace. Clergymen are in the
habit Of facilitating the country on the ex-
emption we enjoy from the devastating effects
of war. A distinction must be drawn here. II
by war we understand such life and death
struggle as has lately been waged in the Cri-
mea-if to constitute war, nation must be
drained Of her resources, driven to suspen
the usual political guarantees in order to con-
centrate her strength, and forced to fight
tooth and nail, for her hearths aud her homes,
her fame and her national existence--then,
certainly, the United States are happily pre-
served from the curse of war. But If whole
sale butchery Of human beings, if campaigns
in the field, if sieges rapid marches, coulter.
marches, pitched battles and treacherous am-
buscades; if these cannot exist in the abs ace
of "a state Of war, then the United States me
at wer, not on one side, but on four at leasr.
Our last accounts from Florida announce
that the Indian war has broken out there again
There being no Seminole organs to give US the
Indian vereion of the story We are reduced to
rely on the newspapers published by the white
men; and they concur in imputing the out
break Of hostilities to the commission Of new
atrocities by the Seminoles. At oil events, we
hear of houses being burned, and individuals
scalped; and before long we shall certainly
hear Of the troops taking the field, and battles
being fought.
Then, on the borders of Texas, war is the
canal condition Of the country. There are
flashes of peace, truces Of few weeks or
| months at a time; and then the war breaks
out again, and there is warm work. In Ne
braska Colonel Harvey is hard at work killing
off the Indians; in Washington Territory there
| is also terrible Indisn war, which has already
cost million of dollars; and the Oregonians, on
their side, have managed to get up very pretty
wsr, in which somehow an impression is get
| ting abroad that they are in the wrong. All
these wars are very serious affairs. The plans
| of operations are the same az tn &c which Pc
lissier and Gortschakoh pursue; and in proper
tion 10 the numbers engaged, the number OF
persons killed is probably greater.
These arc quite Independent of the civil war
in Kansas, and the proposed war with England
! So the less we say about our happy condition
| Of peace, the better.
