| THE KEMPsvILLE CAEAL-MEETINa OF THE Crit
lens OF Princess ANNE.-At meeting of the
citizens of Princess Anne county, held at London
Bridge on the 2Sth day of November, 1865, on
appointed Chairman, and Bennett Land Secrc-
cretary
On motion, Committee was appointed to draft
report and resolutions expressive of the object
OF the meeting, who retired and, on their re-
turn, the following report was made, through
their Chairman, Ransom Brock, ESQ.,:
our Committee beg leave respectfully to pc
port that, upon mature consideration, they have
arrived at the conclusion that the London Bridge
District, in Princess Anne county, comprises
within its limits an area of tiabered lands suii-
Gent to yield at present. at least 800 600 cords of
fire wood, besides a large amount of ship and
building timber, and that the Kempsyilie Canal,
when completed in either of its branches, would
render the whole available for market at very
small cost for transportation Nor is the timber
business alone to be benefited by interior nayiga-
ton; the Lynnhaven oyster trade, as also the
trucking business, would be vastly increased.
liz view OF these facts, and to the intent that we
might recover from the present depressed condi-
ton OF our affairs, your Committee would earn
esty recommend immediate steps to be taken to
interest the capitalists in our vicinity in the COM
pletion of one or both sections of the Kempsville
Canal, and to extend to them such inducements as
may be in our power.
Resolved, That delegation of nine citizens be
appointed who shall proceed to the city of Nor
folk, and endeavor to effect such arrangements as
may result in the water connection with that city;
and, on their return, report to this meeting.
Whereupon the Chair appointed the following
gentlemen as said delegation, viz Col Edward
Jones, Colonel George I. Rodgers, Ransom Brock,
Richard McClanan, DR.. A. G. Tebault, John Nc
Coy, Horatio Cornick, James II. Burgess and
William H. Rainey.
On notion the Chairman and Secretary were
added to the above delegation.
Resolved, That His Honor, the Mayor of the
city of Norfolk, be respectfully requested to ex-
tend his influence in forwarding the object of our
delegation.
Resolved, That the thanks of.the citizens here
assembled, be rendered to our esteemed friend,
John James, Esq, of Norfolk city, for the kind
interest he has ever manifested for the welfare of
this, his native county.
Resolued, That the editors of the various pa
pers of Norfolk and Portsmouth be respectfully
requested to publish these proceedings in their re-
spective papers.
