Improvement in Virginia.

Virginia was never better able than now
to extend liberal assistance to the line, u.
internal improvement. The Richmond H.
uuircr Of day before Yesterday made au ra.
hibit Of the financial condition of the >l,..
Treasury. which shows that the credit Of d..
State is in an excellent condition, and thar,
after providing for all expenses and appr,-
prations. and making the contribution TO-
quired by the Constitution 10 the Sinking
Fund. We will still have Il surplus. and wI.
he able, at the next session, 10 reduce tie
taxes Our condition is still better iluStra-
ted by that financial barometer of the cuum-
try-Wall Street in New YOrk-whcrc Viz
ginia State Stocks are new quoted at ninety
nine cents in the dollar They have not
ranged as high as this before, since ISL.
Under the operation Of the Sinking Fund
clause Of the Constitution, there is anp!r
security for the ultimate extingui>hmcnt of
the public dcbt-unlc>s the State rcpudiatc.
which is contingency no one has ever en-
tertaincd for moment. And this. too on
the snppoSition that We never receive a dol
lar in return for our investments in public
works. But in point of fact, we have apros
pect of dividends from several of the Rail
road Companies of the State, and in very
few years. The Danvillle Road has already
declared a dividend. So has the Central;
which, however, has been applied to the fur
Their prosecution of the road to the West.
The Richmond and Fredericksburg Road has
been paying sem-annual dividend for years.
The Orange and Alexandria Road will do tn"
same thing as soon a. its connections are
completed. And, in view of the vast AMI
unprecedented increase in the business OF the
Virginia and Tennessee Road, no one can
doubt its ability to reimburse its stockhold-
crs. after it has overcome the usual obstacle
which cucumber every line of internal I'M
provcment when il is first made. -LWchJwy

Four days after the ceremony the young bride

A Noble Sentiment.

The Governor of Georgia cmbodieS tie fol-
lowing in his annual message
No monarch rules here And it is the
pride of our system, of our government, that
each citizen at the ballot-boX possesses equal
rights Of sovereignty with every other one
Thanks be to our Heavenly Father, the popu-
lar voice cannot here be hushed in the silence
of dcspotism, but the popular will dictates
the law. May it thus ever remain, How
important it is therefore, that the massco of
the people be educated, So each may be able
to read, and understand for himself the con-
stitution and history Of his country, and To
Judge and decide for himself what ar" the
true principles and policy of his government.
But how much more important 1t *. IN my
opinion. that every person in the state be- en-
ablcd 10 read for himself in the Holy Bible.
and to comprehend the great principles Of
Christianity, in the eternal truths Of which.
am firm, though humble believer. Edu-
cate the masses and irculcatc virtue and mo
raIity, and you lay broad and deep, in tn"
hearts of our people, the true basis Of oar iu-
ture progress.

Upon careful consideration of the events
of the year 1853, we have come to the CON
clusion that it has been, in commercial
point of view. the most important year OF
the century. We look upon the great events
cf the wear as calculated to produce highly
import,:at changes and advantages III our
commercial intercourse with the, States and
with the whole world.
These great events may be briefly r"ca-
pituiatcd as:
j, The successful introduction for the lr,t
time of Steam navigation ON the New York
Canals.
Ill. The conclusion Of Il Lo"lGIerelnl Urea
~ with China and the opening Of several
Of her ports to the ships of the l. :.
III. The Treaty Of Commerce between the
l.. S. and Japan. whereby the staple pro
duc.ions of the L. S. may be made known
and appreciated in that hitherto obscure emf
pire ,n
". The successful temporary at least
Telcrraphic Communication between Europe
and the L. S by means of the Suop'arln"
Cable. -,
ANY one Of these important events Is cat
culatcd to effect important results I" Com
merce at large, but the whole collectively
form the most important era OF the Alhe-
tscuth Ccntury.-N. J. Cou1p.
