The report, of which the above is a sy-.
nopsis, makes an exhibit that must be graft
flying not only tothe stockholders. but Il;
every citizen of the Commonwealth Here
is an unfinished road, passing for some
miles beyond Staunton, through thinly
populated country, where very little capi.
tai or labor is employed in agricultural me-
chanicai or manufacturing pursuits, and ter
mlnatlng at a point equally undeveloped,
and yet Its revenue. is more than seven per
cent, upon the entire cost of the road-a re-
suit more than realizing The most sapguine
expectations Of its friends.
If such result has been attained nnder
the circumstances, what may not be expec-
ted when connection is formed with the
Covlngton and Ohio road, and that road
shall be finished from point to point q west
ward. and especially when it shall be push
ed through by the State to its terminus.
where it will meet the vast trade and travel
OF the Ohio river and the railroads now in
course Of construction to the capital Of Ken
lucky, and connecting there with the whole
network Of railroads from the lakes to the
Gulf Of Mexico? With its present revenue
paying its interest, gradually liquidating its
debt, and paying cash dividend of 5 per
cent, and retaining a surplus to meet con-
tlngencles-with its tonnage and travel
largely increased, as it must be, it will real
ize to the Commonwealth an1 general stock
holders, permanently, handsome dividends,
at the same time giving an impetus to every
branch OF industry along the entire line of
the road, greatly multiplying the personal
property, and enhancing Immensely the vail

.Jef1arsoa's Birth uay.

respecte friend, who has a retentive memory
and q method 10 his memoranda OF remarkable
events and characters, calls our attention to the
error which is now current with regard to both the
day and the year on which Mr.. JEFFERSON was
born. The Fad of April has very recently been
celebrated % his birth day-nay, as the one hum
bred and nineteenth anniversary of that day the
Virginia slmanacs, for two years past, having made
the blunder of dating 1t in 1740. Mr.. Jefferson
was born on Cad Of April, old STYLE which would
make the 18th of April the day under the style OF
our present calendar: and in the year 1143, not
40 So that the 18th instant will be the one hum
bred and sixteenth anniversary of his birth. We
have already briefly noticed these blunders; but
have now before us the old almanscs, in which the
memoranda of our friend are entered, and take
occasion to refer to the su.ec. again. If such
mistakes as that in reference TO Mr.. Jenarson's
birth day, can occur whilst come OF his contempt
raries are still living, what confidence can be put
in the chronological accuracy of old historical re.

raj interest," but IL there is central town 10 'irs
ciuis, or any other State, more out OF the world
from the absence of all facilities Of travel than
Lexington, we should like 10 know It.
There are two ways by which the traveller can
reach Lexington from Stanton. One 10 to take
the Central railroad west to Goshen, forty miies
from stauut.n, and then take stage road TO Lex
inston. distant from Goshen twenty-five miles
This road is bad enough, bat It is eudarable; there

the Journey are relieved by nice SKIPPER ct Jor'

the horrors Of the road from stanton via Green
vi,e II never was good in its best days, but some
years ago q plank road was constructed over it,
20 which Virginia gave liberal aid, and like most
plank roads, it has proved worse than . failure
The pisuks have gone to pieces, and become
greater nuisance than the corduroy reads of prim.
itlve times No man knows what joliing Is, or can
form tho faintest conception of 1t who has not
travelled over this purgatorial highway. The
rolling and foundering Of ship at sea in heavy
gale 10 mere pastime to the per formances Of the
stage on the Greeuvile road. If The traveller
reaches the end Of his journey with whole bone
in his body, IL ought to be subject of thanksgiv-
ing and cougratuIatiou to him through the rest OF
his life. The dyspeptic who can 60 through il
alive will never know tho meaning of dyspepsia
again. Every man in the Virginia Legislature who
votes against railroad facilities to Lexington,
ought to be made to ride over the 6reenvile road
once. That would be retribution enough for the
worst of anti improvement sinners.
