DEATH OF LITTLETON w. TAZE-
WE'LL

We announced on Thursday the serious i'll
ness of this gentleman, in Richmond He
died in that city, on Thursday morning, at 9
o'clock A. M, at the residence of his sister,
Mrs. Southall, on Grace street. Mr.. Taze-
well was the son Of DR.. William Tazewell,
and was born in Richmond. Having adopted
law as his profession, he praoticed for some
years in the Lunenburg District, and was re-
turned to the State Senate from the District
comprising the counties.of Lunenburg, Meek
lenburg and Charlotte.
Removing to Richmond, he was elected
Commonwealth's Attorney, which position he
for six years filled with marked ability He
was, few weeks since, chosen as one of the
representatives of the city of Richmond to the
House of Delegates, which position he resigned
to become candidate for Commonwealth At
torney, to which Office he was, only a few
days prior to his death, elected without oppo-
stion, but did not live to enter upon the dis
charge of his duties.
His loss will be deeply regretted by host
of friends.

station, on the Orange and Alexandria Rail-

which three persons lost their lives outright,
and tweney-eight were seriously wounded.
1t is said that the train was running at full
speed. when the hindmost car, loaded with
soldiers on their way TO Lynchburg. ran off
the track and tumbled down an embankment,
breaking into atoms and causing such serious
calamity to human life as is reported above

vocated it with zeal and ability; and other
great men of Virginia have, from time to
time, added their testimony to its importance.
But the most significant concessions of its i'm
portance are those coming from the Engineers,
Statesmen and Press of other, and even of ri
val States. To them it seems matter of alb
solute establishment that this grand opportu-
nifty of Virginia has not been sooner improved.
A distinguished citizen of another State re-
marked to the writer few months since, that
this is all that is wanted to make Virginia the
pightiest State, and Norfolk one of the might
lest cities in the confederacy.' Another said,
complete that, and enterprise and wealth
would flow to every part of your State, where
a bargain was to be had, a mine to be opened,
or resource to be developed. The learned
Maury has time and again demonstrated the
Importance of thus connecting the West with
our city. The pages of DeBow, and other of
the first Reviews, have explained them. Mr..
McAlpine, probably the first Engineer of the
country, bears the strongest and most earnest
testimony to the perfect feasibility and over
whelming importance of this line Another
celebrated Engineer admits that once COM
pleted, 1T would be the most important pro-

The Legislature of Virginia will assemble
in Richmond on Monday next, and though at
this time the old State is sorely tried by the
vicissitudes which surround her, yet we trust
she has enough vitality and sovereignty left to
enable her to re-confrm her contract with the
great French capitalists for the early compile
