4 STATES-The zeal OF Virginia IN favor OF inter-
/ nal improvements, we have do Doubts of the
sort which is called patriotic. That noble state,
II with vast natural resources, should be more
prosperous than she is. Her public men feel
that younger states are passing her, and leaving
her behind population, industry, commerce,
and the skilful tillage of the soil. They have
concluded that railways, and turnpike roads,
and bridges, are sources of prosperity, and ac-
cordingly have made great exertions to bridge
!theirnumerous streams, and open the access to
the valleys of their beautiful region by railways
/ and turnpike roads. Governor Wise, not long
since, told them that these things made the pros
perity of the North. The free states, he seems
very firmly tobelieye, are Furnishing onaccount
of their railways i4 <.
No doubt the northern states owe much to
4 railways; but we must bear in mind that those
states were in a condition TO profit by them
| when they were built Railways are not so
much the cause as the effect of the prosperity of
1 the free states. A railway in thinly settled
country, which is not filling up with emigrants,
is always likely to be losing enterprise. These
| channels ofcommnnication advance the inter
csts of rich country, but impoverish poor
one. If farmer builds, at considerable ex-
\ panSe one of those ingenious gatewayS which
open at a touch and shut. themselves without
any help, he places it where he will have to
| pass and repaSS perhaps ten or twenty times
day. In such spot it saves his time and that
of his workmen, and is an economical invist-
