THE GREAT WATER LINEOF
VIRGINIA..
NosFoLK, FHB. 10. Is;

NORFOLK, FEB. ~, 1888.
Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commerce.
Some time since your paper contained an
interesting communication from a gentleman
connected with the Navy, upon the natural
advantages Of this city, and tho resources of
Virginia. That letter received an extensive
republication from the press of our State, and
was received with much satisfaction by our
people.
Virginia has unquestionablY an immense
amount OF undevcloped resources, and oul.
city natural advantages which have only to
be improved to make her one Of the first sea-
ports Of the Western Continent. Very great
attention has lately been paid to these facts
from the issue and general circulation of a
pamphlet written by a gentleman formerly
connected with our city press, who has given
the subject candid but more thorough re-
view than it has received at any other hands,
The same pamphlet, and the exertions of
its author, have reused the attention of our
people to their neglected opportunities, and
they now seem to be resolved to improve them.
Meeting after meeting of our citizens has been
held, to endorse the sentiments of this Gap
peal" of an enthusiastic character. Some
time since, such a meeting was held byEa
large and respectable body Of our citizens,
and on Yesterday, the subject was brought
before the Merchants Exchange, and was
iui4y CAoOio ett W tAdt ITO Eccaucut,
Col. Biggs, presiding. Several speeches
were made by Ex-Mayor Summers, Henry
Irwin, Esq, (late President Of the Ex-
change,) and Mr.. Bisbie, the author of the
pamphlet. Resolutions were passed to bring
the subject before the Legislature in COM
handing form, and Mr.. Is. received special
commission to represent the city. A COM
mittce Of twenty gentlemen bling slso APP
pointed to assist him in imPressing the sub
ject upon our State Congress.
The object OF Mr.. b. is to bring about such
legislation as will establish an early eounec-
tion bssw cen the James River and the Kama.
wha, and through that with the Ohio, Mn-
sissippi, Missouri and their branches. He
contends that this connection will give as
Central Water Line through the heart Of the
country, terminating at this point, which
shall be superior to any other that now ex-
ists or can ever be established" He shows
by figures that seem irrefutable, that with
this line established, produce from the Ohio,
Mississippi and Missouri would seek even
your city cheaper than by any other line.
You may lock out for something definite in
this matter, and for results of great moment
to the commercial economy Of this country.

zodiacal light of Metropolitan society.
Ballroom after ballroom has been lumi-
nous with their splendor, and many a
gallant astronomer doth love bright
particular star, and think to wed it, as
Shakespeare says in his Hits Vel that
Ends Vel, as | trust their affections will
end. We have morning star, too, that
has come here from Norfolk to take the
place of some departed bellies, and whose
literary genius, added to the heart on
her lips and soul within her eyes, makes
even those sad lady-killcrs the diplomats
confess, the might-the majesty Of love-
liuess.'
