A southern Rival Of New syor,s.'

One of the old Virginia dreams, that
somewhere near the mouth OF the James a
great city was sure 20 spring up, at last
seems not unlikely to realized. IL is not to
be at Norfolk, however, but at Newport
News. From that harbor to Cincinnati the
distance Is shorter by 1893 miles than from
Cincinnati TO Baltimore. aud 200 miles
shorter than from Cincinnati to New York.
Travel along this line is nptaheeted by the
'inclemeney of wihter. Money has been
provided by Northern capitalists, aud with
In three years the Covington and Ohio rail
road Is to be built, and the chain of COM
munication completed by short links be-
tween Richmond and Lynchburg and
Richmond and the coast. A French COM
pany has deposited $3,0O0,000 with the State
Government as security for the completion
of the James river aud Kapawha canal
Thus the new rival of New York is TO be
connected with the great West by the short
est railway and the best line of water COM
munication.

Quick upon the lightning followed burst of
thunder like the downfall OF the universe.
In the short space of time, during which Law
motionless where had fallen, and whilst the
thunder was rolling away into the distance
saw, as with another's eyes, the whole cottage,
walls, roof and chimneys, separate itself into q
numberless crowd of hideous shapes; and, as
these opened, the great red flame which had
seen across the waste burned iercely upwards,
and darted its rays among them. How | rose l
know not; but / found myself flying through
the black storm pursued by that fendish crew;
closer and closer they came up behind me; was
well aware they but amused themselves with
my feeble efforts to escape, until the moment
came when it should be their pleasure to
seize me.
A thought came suddenly, bringing a CLEAN
OF hope; delirlum and stupelaction had pre-
vented my thinking OF it sooner. | calculated
short tervent prayer calling on the most
sacred names for support against my horrid
enemies. But In reply rose loud terrific laugh
from my pursuers some voices even repeated
my prayers moCkingly, and in derision changed
the pious words into obscene parodies. Then
my soul tainted within me, and / said, "There
is no help, for God hath forsaken me. Would
had perished ere / saw the foul freight
Would had left the place of evil with that fair
child" At this moment began to hear, as at
distance, tones OF a embered music: good
and pure thoughts flowed into my heart like
waters into parched well; and the tumult of
pursuit began to fail and shrink away.
A faint, grave light was mingled with the
darkness, the setting moon stood in the west.
On soft moss, under the dry shade of a grove,
sank down exhausted. Between sleeping and
waking, l seemed to see the child, crowned with
garland Of towers, sitting opposite, upon
knoll among the trees; keeping watch, me-
thought, and singing sweet song all the while:
and that grove was filed with safety and peace.
When / awoke, it was clear morning: the
birds whistled among dewy leaves, and the first
smoke rose from the hamlet in the valley.
There found certain wise, poor man, happy
with his vile and children, with whom | abode
for time.
All this is of the past; and whether all, or how
much of it, is to be named a Dream, cannot
now rightly tell.
