g. An Appeal.


We publish below letter from Mrs.
Mayor Magruder addressed to her coun-
trywomen. proposing to them that meet.
ings be held in every village, town. and
city in the country, to raise funds to be
invested for the use and benefit of the now
destitute widow and daughter Of the late
Commander Herndon. The suggestion
is worthey OF the heart Of generous, CRATE,
full, sympathi2ing woman. And it is ev-
cry way fitting, that the wife of the chief
magistrate of the metropolitan city should
take the initiative in this appropriate and
generous purpose. Let the meetings be
held! And let the noble women Of our
great country respond to the call. which
the bereayed and he helpless make
through one of their own sex. upon their
sympathy and succor. We cannot doubt
that this benevolent appeal will be sues
cessfull carried out; and that the wife and
child Of him, whose last effort was for the
safety of the wives and children Of others,
will be saved from the crushing ills Of
penury and dependence:

suddenly cut off, 90 in health and hope"
by one Of those fearful hurricanes which
in the past few years have made so many
hearths desolate, and so many hearts to
mourn.
But, mid the gloom and horror of that
dreadful night. there is one CLEAN of glo-
=
rous action will stand out in bold relief,
and raise for its author a monument as
enduring as time, as indestructible as
mind; its base resting in the hearts Of
woman, and its apex as elevated as her
hopes. "Save the women and children"
was the first order of the noble Herndon:
and shall American women forget the
gallant, the noble captain who. mid storm,
gloom and desolation, forgetful Of himself,
coulc think Of poor, frail woman and
helpless children? Never! no, never!
propose to my countrywomen that a
meeting be called in each city and village
in the United States. and that funds be
collected and transmitted to George W.
Riggs, barker in Washington, to be in.
vested for the use of the wife and daugh-
ter OF Capt. Herndon, late of the United
States navy. Let US do something to
show our gratitude to one who in time Of
trouble sacrificed himself to his duty and
women. Your countrywoman,
SARAH MAGRUDER.

| nounces its pretensions. its. hopes. its
righteous claims. before the high tribunal
ofthe Legislature
But there is another matter to be con-
sidered. It is broadly declared that q
Railroad can be constructed from Alexan-
dria to the Ohio River, at point South
of Parkersburg, in a less distance. at less
cost, upon better grades. and with larger
curvatures than the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad that. constructed under condi.
tons so favorable, and in direction gen.
orally parallel, it is destined to prove the
successful rival of that work for trade
and travel; and that section Of this
State, coereed, to a great degree, by the
existing state of things, to find its market
place at Baltimore, will be, by It's con.
struction. simply enabled to renew its
true allegiance TO Virgtnia. and TO revive
the prosperity of Alexandria--that pros
perity which has been tie large price
paid by our State for The advantages she
has seemed to derive from the Baltimore
aud Ohio Railroad.

been est.anged in interest, though not es-
tranged in affection, from the Common.

have borne uncomplainiugly, even cheer

promote the glory and prosperity Of their
beloved State. The voice of such PEG.
pie. we know, will be heard and needed.
It rem aims for US to say. that those
whom We represent, while asking for aid.
are ready to help themselves. and would
scorn to call on Hercules without putting
their own shoulders to the wheel. We
ask for charter of incorporation for a
Railroad from Alexandria to the Ohio
River, at a point north Of Bufington's
Island, as a "matter of expediency and
absolute right" with State aid. in the
usual extent to accomplish the work.

noble object.

DEAR S1R:-In my last letter. re-
marked upon the advantages possessed,
both naturally. and on account of the
projected. through this country. by the
citizens of Western Virginia. and tried to
show that it would be greatly to our ad.
vantage should more attention be direct

turing interests in our midst.
In SO doing, however, l had especial
reference to such establishments, as start.
ed and aOorked by men identified with us
in interest, in birth. or by absolute affilia-
ton; that is. believe that there is.
among our own population, all the neces.
ssry elements of energy. intelligence. and
wealth, should they be properly organs
lied and directed, to work out brilliant
future for ourselves and our poste.ity,
without the aid Of associations whose os.
tensible object is the "coloniza.ion'' of
our waste or unimproyed lands, but
whose real intent is, without much doubt.
only the entering wedge to spill. our fel>
