ALEXANDRIA,:
MONDAY MORNING. JULY 10, 1858.

ALEXANDRIA, LouDoUN, AND HAMP:HIRE
RAILRoAD.-A citizen of Clarke Couoty, 10
the last Clarke County Journal, viodicases
the action Of the County Court in Clarke, In
its recent order relative to the County sub
scriptioo to the Alexandria, L1udoun and
Ham pshire Railroad, and contends, FIRST, that
the order is in accordance with the spirit
and meaning Of the subscription conditions.
Second, that under that order the County of
Clarke actually gets better terms from the
Railroad Company, than required by the
conditions of the subscri ption--and, Third,
that the order indicates the only practicable
way of accomplishing the proposed objects.
The Leesburg Wasbiugtonian, in speaking
Of the suggestion that the road should be
at once located from Winchester to Piedmont,
makes the following remarks:
"The work is contracted for as far as Win
chester, and. at a meeting of the Directors,
held in Leesburg, on Friday last, it was de-
termined to commence laying the rails, pre-
parasory to the running Of the cars, as far as
Clarke's Gap, in this County, distance oil
forty miles-by next spring. Railroads are
like individuals-they feel the force Of the
present monetary pressure as oppressiVely as
the ordinary business pursuits OF the coun.
try; but 90 admirably have the resources OF
this Company been managed, by Presiden,
Mckenzie and the Board of Directors, tina,
a large force has been kept constantly EN-,
ployed ever since it's commencement, and
4 they have now nearly completed all the grad
uation and masonry for forty miles, without
mourning any material debt to the Compa'
ny. Notwithstanding the embarrassing ct
fects Of; the times, they have kept the work
moving without any diminntion of the force
employed. The State is largely interested
10 the work, and the Counties OF Clarke and
HAMPSHIRE have each subscribed one hum
dred thousand dollars, and the town of Win
chester fifty thousand; and we have no doubt,
as soon as the prospects of the country are
frightened up, and the springs of trade and
commerce start afresh, the other counties
through which it will pass. will follow the
generous examples of Clarke and Hampshire
and the towns and villages interested will
initiate the liberslity of Winchester by cor
porate subscriptions to the capital stock
And We are confident, in due time, Alexan
dria will give the road liberal subscription
1.-The coal dealers should regard it as Q
fixed fact that the road will be built to the
Piedmont country, at or near Paddytown.-
Such is the settled determination OF the Com
pany. Could their funds be invested more
iudiciously than by liberal subscriptions te
this Improvement Their mines are value
less without facilities to market-and 50 soor
as this road il done they will have access Il
one of the finest harbors on the Atlantic, and
the markets of the world for their COAL"

A letter from New York comments upon
the almost absolute mania for speech-msking
which prevails in this country, aud says,
that things have arrived, at last, "at such
pass" that if couple are married, the
priest gives them speech; when babe is
christened We have lecture on the deprav.
ity of human nature; when man dies, the
future is made to appear as dull and doleful
as possible; aud. lastly, when culprit is
about to be hanged, the sheriff defers for q
moment the final suspension to give the poor
fellow speech, and make the dark valley
of the shadow of death" twice as dark to
him as it ever appeared before, BY assuring
him that. as he was altogether unfit for this
world, it is very uncertain what sort OF re,
ception he is to meet in the undiscovered
country to which he is going unlimited.
