REY is looked upon by his friends as being
a very strong man personally-it is con-
loteadsd that be combines more Of the ele-

the minds Of many other men, is strong
and vigorous, and heis proverbial for be-
ipg strictly honorable aud upright in his

oibelisveis not questioned. In this age Of
,1doub,e- dealing aad corruption it must be
ccStessed that these rare qualities, when

strength with the masses. i'02 s'

TExAs.--G. W. Kendall writes to the
New Orleans Picayane that there will be
no want Of corn in Western Texas, and
that the crop-of Chinese Sugar Cane will
be immense. He says:
"Some Of my neighbors are having Il
ground, andare making bread ofit, speak
ing Of It III commendable terms, while
everywhere they are preparing to grind
the stalks and convert the joice into syrup
Or molasses. That thisis to be a valua-
BILE addition to our crops in this section
there can be no doubt; itlstandsa drouth
better than any other lplant--is no more
affected by dry weather than is sala-
mander by fire. The grain makes a good
article OF bread--so many say; the leaves
make good fodder; while the stock can
be converted into molasses, and perhaps
sugar-nothing is lost" 'lgIi a.l

From RIC n IN q ID Il.

RICHMOND, March Is, Z. M.-The first
week Ut the extra session Of the General As
sembly of Virginia has closed, and but little
progress has been made towards disposing OF
the public business The bill appropriating
$500 900 to the CovinGton and Onio railroad
has been ordered to its engrossment in the
Senate, and will pass that branch. a bill
reuactng the duelling law, passed the House
to-day, but its fate in the Senate is doubtful.
The law heretofore provided that 20 person
shuld be eligible to Office IN the State who
had been engaged 10 duel since May, 1857.
As to day rs-enacted, the date is changed to
March LIST, 1858. A joint resolution was Of
fered in the Senate this morning fixing the
22d instant as the day of adjournment, and
laid over under the rule. Should the Lcgis-
lature be prepared to adjourn by that time
the intervening period must necessarily be
occupied more industriously than the past.
A Communication was sect in from the Ez-
ecutive to-day recommending the appoint
ment of a law agent to investigate the affairs
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. with a
view of rotectipg the interest Of Virginia.

A Decaycd Railway.

We mentioned few days ago, the pur-
chase Of the old Franklin railroad by the
Cum berand Valley Railroad Company
This road extends from Cham berShurg to
Hagerstown. IL was sold at public auction,
under a sheriff's execution, some time hack,
havir been long losing concern, until at
last only horse ears were run upon 1t. As a
separate work it never could pay under any
management, but as part OF the Cumberland
Valley road it may do 50. 1Iager-town is a
point of no importance, and why the rail-
way ended there, is more than we can lmag'
inc. 1t is the capital of Washington county,
Md, and has 8S4 Inhabitants; but it has
no transit or trade connexions CAPABLE OF
SUI porting railway. Moreover, it i. out OF
the general direction Of the Cumberland Val
ley railroad, and gives to that work sort OF
seml-circular appearance. From Harrisburg
to ambersburg the road runs southwest
Bot Hagerstown is directly south of Cham
bersburg. and t. reach it the road makes a
bend. which gives the link between Greencas
tie aud Hagerstown a sOutheasteriy course.
To make the line Of real value it should be
prolonged to Harper's Ferry, following the
Antiet im and Potomac rivers, so as 10 connect
with the long railway through the olenhn'
doah valley, and SO on southwest to Ten
nessee. This would be a connexion worth
striving for and would throw upon the Cum
berland Valley railway trade from Mary
land, Virginia, and Tennessee, exceedingly
lucrative. At Harrer's Ferry it would also
connect with the Baltimore aud OniO rail
road, which, besides running through to
Wheeling, is now in operation to Parkere-
burg by the North western Virginia road. y
much better and shorter approach to that
railway might be made by building branch
from Greercss,Ie to Sleepy Creek or Han
cock. Were this done it would materially
enh ance the value Of the Whole work to the
business community Of Philadelnhia, at the
same time that it would be of great benefit
to Cham bersburg, Carlisle, ard all the
towns along the route Phil03elphia Inner.

Sn,.cb NJ senator Kennedy on Kansas.
The speech of Mr. Kennedy in the Senate
on Friday last is one OF peculiar significance.
Mr.. Kennedy belongs to the American party,
owing no obligations to the democratic organ
izstion, and none whatever of sympathy or
duty to the so-called republican party. Mr..
| Kennedy's party is too small to be effective,
and hence the senator was chilled upon to
consult the character OF the measure before
the country to guide him in the discharge OF
his duties. This was all frank and man y,
and although we claim party fealty to toe
bill proposing the admission of Kansas, that
tealty is due to the merits Of the measure It's
elf-to the principal OF nou-interventlon and
State rights it embodies--tO the object which
is sought to be accomplished in its success :
the removal from the arena OF federal poli-
tics Of frightiul subject Of dispute and agl,
! talon To effect this end. dlsavOwlng all
possible fellowship with the republicans,
Mr. Kennedy yields a cordial support TO the
! plan of admission embraced in the bill be
fore the Senate. This is significant aud
pointed enough. |; is n rebuke TO those
d mocrats who seem unlike MIR. keanety 10
glory in their fellowship with the republicans
Mr. Kenneiy's position under the clrcum-
stances is such as t. reflect honor upon hIs
head and heart.
The character and interest of the country
alike demaud that in this controversy there
shall be but two parties. There is no mid
die GROUND between them no halfway house
Those not for us. must be against us. Ihe
issue is vital 1t was therefore to be assumed
that the members of the Am rican organ'za-
ton, with inconsidersble exceptions, would
finally act with the democracy. and thus
leave the republicans alone. Those demo
crats who have goae over 10 them, have
gone home; they belong there. Too weak
10 the knees, or too calculating, ambl-
tious, aud impatient, they will find more
congenal field for the display of such
qualities in the republican family. They tell
us this il not party question; If not, It Is a
| constitutional question; question OF gov
ernmeut great Union question. 1t is eel
tainly most encouraging that upon such vital
issues the patriotism of the country is all ca
one eide, while faction, ambition, and Jolly
are all on the other Union.

the following important suggestion from the
Board of Trade OF Norfolk: The section of

sposed to turn their attention towards an
extensive trade with this section OF the cOun-

Of corn.
As yellow corn brings as general thing,
