The Militia bill, re-organizing the Militia
of the State, has passed the House this
morning-ayes l05, noes ., and was this
morning communicated to the Senate by Col.

The bill making subscription of three
iifths of 100000 to the South Side Road,
to extend their road to what's called Blacks
and Whites" was under consideration a
long while to-day, and ably advocated by Mr..
Organ, of Lunenburg, and Mr.. Baskerville,
Of Mecklenburg and Mr.. Dickinson, of
Prince Edward This bill is Of singular
character-instead of the State paying in
cash or State stock, they proposed to secure
it in 100000 of lst mortgage bonds, of
which the State holds $4,000 on the South
Side Road, Sl,000,000 on the Virginia and
Tennessee, and 5000, 900 on the Danyille
Road take it for granted the bill will be
defeated. The Legislature will hardly con-
sent TO pass such BILL

Northampton, and is intended TO connect
Norfolk with Philadelphia and New York
by an airline. The bill was ably advocated
by the member from Accomac, Mr.. Watson,
and by Dr. VERIFY, of Northampton, who
voted for the bill, and, also, again this SEES

do not know how old the town is, but
there are persons now living here 70 years

however, it is at least as old as Loudouu
county which is l02 years old. 1t contains
1000 inhabitants, who have the usual faults
and rather more than the common virtues Of
humanity. In fact they are kindly, gentle
and refined, and no lady, who has ever been

one Protestant Episcopal and two Methodist
Churches. There are three first class cX-

thousand dollars worth annually, several
that combine the dry goods and grocery bus
mess, one gentlemen's furnishing store and
