An Important Improvement.

One Of the most important improvements which
has passed the present Legislature, is that author.
izing the extension of the Richmond, Fredericks
burg and Potomac Railroad to the intersection of
! the Orange and Alexandria Road at the Manassas
Gap Railroad This extension effects q direct con-
&pection between Richmond and the Valley at
trasburg, by the main line of the Manassas Gap
bilroad, uniting Shenandoah, Page and Rocking
ham with the metropolis of the State, and by the
,oudoun branch, passing through Loudoun county
htersecting the Winchester and Potomac Railroad
And the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Harpers
Ferry. direct connection is thus created be-
tween Richmond and the Northern counties of the
Valley and also with the mighty Northeast, bring
ing coal and produce to our own marts, and bring
ing travel through our own territory to our own
State. This extension, Of only tceny-secea miles,
will unite onethird of the whole territory of the
AState with Richmond, and win connect Richmond
Immediately with the Ohio river and Valley. This
pan all be accomplished in a single year and at a
psf of less than one million of dollars. sI..- d.
FOR the success of this benefcent measure in the

ALE, the able and patriotic Senator from the

of our public men who have the independence
and the courage to sacrifice all sectional allegiance
at the shrine of the general welfare. Among such
men, GEORGE. DEEEALE of Rockingham. stands
pre-eminent. Whilst ever viglant and faithful to
| the interests of his own constituents he never
sacrifices the greater to the less nor bounds his
