THE DANvILLE CONNECTION.

The Petersburg (Virginia) Express rejoices at
the rejection of the Danvlle Connection bill in
Legislature. The Express has cause for joy, for
Petersburg now gets a very large amount of North
Carolina trade afforded by the N. c., Raleigh and
CASTOR, and vii. and Weldon Railroads, and if
this Danville connection road were built she might
lose some of it! We are not surprised at the
qualification of our sprghtly Virginia contemporary,
but We are surprised-yes, astonishcd-at the talk
of some eastern Legislators about State pride
The Richmond Dispatch, speaking of the matter,
very truthfully remarks:
"In the matter of freight and trade, this con-
nection is not SO important some may imagine it
to be to this city The tobacco and the wheat of
Western North Carolina may be wagoned to Dan
vile, from the contiguou country and from
Grecnsborough; and those staples from the middle
part of the State, reach this market via the
Raleigh and Castor and Roanoke Valley Railroad.
The rejection of the Danville extension will infict
much greater hardships and injuries upon the
people of North Carolina, than upon any other
community"
A Raleigh correspondent (who was opposed to
the bill writing to the Wilmington Journal, says
That it 1.-THE Danvie connection will ulti-
mately prevail, none who watch public events as
closely as you do hesitate to predict. But let
US hope that long before that day, Wilmington and
the other North Carolina ports will have been suf
fciently developed and encouraged to defy Virginia
competition
Are large portion of the people of the State to
be denied their rights and privileges in order to
enable "Wilmington and the other N. c. ports to
''defy Virginia competition -? 1t so from
the action of the Legislature. But we assure all
concerned that that is a poor way to make friends
for ''North Carolina ports" to retain all those
they have had.
