VIRGINIA LEGIsLArURE.-ln the House Of
Delegates, on Saturday, the bill, Incorporating
the Potomac Railroad Company" came up
on its second reading ~
Mr. burlington moved the following amend
ment by way~of proviso q Y S,'.<
provided, that if the Alexandria and Fred
ericksburg Railway Company, shalI before the
lst day of May. 1867, fully satisfy the Board
of Public Works that said company has com
piled with the terms of its incorporation, has
discharged or satisfied all just claims and debts
against it, and is prepared and actually engag-
ed in the work to prosecute and finish the
construction Of the railroad, as provided tor IN
its act of incorporation, then. and in that case
this act shall be and become void ..
hisamendment seemed to be acceptable to all
parties. Messrs. Baldwin Speaker, J Du1niog-
ton and Robertson, spoke briefly on the bill.
Mr.. Baldwin alluded to the Alexandria and
fredericksburg Railroad Company as an unreal,
uusubstantial and swinding concern 1t had
entered into contract With parcel OF New
York men, who came down to Virginia and
again let their contracts to sub contractors,
here who had gone on with the work until they
found that there was no money in the corpora
ton One of his constituents, MIR. Z. Il.
Neason. had expended $40, 600 Oh the work as
sub. contractor Other contractors in this
State had lost seriously. The amount cxpend-
ed by this bogus company did not exceed ST.
600 1t was right that the work should be
taken from them and given to persons who
would build the road. But the amendment
was proper, and If that company wouldcomply
with its provisions, MIR. B. thought right
that they should be- permitted to go on with
their undertaking. 0."" -. ..';
Mr.. Robertson entertained opinions similar
to those expressed by Mr.. Baldwin with regard
to the Fredericksburg and A'exan4ria Com
pauy. His instincts always told him that the
company was bogus concern, tho l:l hc could
not &C 80 far as to say that they were swlnd-
lers. hIr. R. expressed some anxiety concern.
ing the company now proposed 10 be chartered.
He desired to limit their terminus to Alexan-
dria; and not TO allow them to 90 on TO George
town and become connecting line to he roads
now 10 existence between Alexandra and
Washington. He intin ated his intention OF
moving an amendment to carry cut his views.
Mr. Crump thought that iu the bill the
rights of persons who had expended money on
the road should be protected that their labor
on the line should not be lost to them. One
Of his constituents had been contractor, and
he desired o.see him and all others secured in
order that their work might not ba taken with
out compensation. .,..-s .aJ... .
Mr. Baldwin assured Mir. Crump that Mr..
Mason had had free conference with the cor
porators, and was perfectly satisfied With the
bill as it was. ,-.s ~ -
After some further conversation, at the in.
stance Of Mr. C,ump the bill was passed by, and
ordered, with. the amendment. to be printed.

HERMLRoADs. Friday night last TSashe
first time on which through tickets to Bali-
more, by the Virginia Central ana Orange
and Alexandria railroad route were sold
The exclusive privilege Of selling through
tickets between lhisc!ty and Washington which
was granted to the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad for thirty years by the
General Assembly having expired 10y Limitation
On the 23d ultimo, the Virginia Central and
Orange and Alexandria Railroads are at liberty
70 make ticketwith any line, North or South,
over which the traveller may wish to pass
Arrangements have been made by which tickets
are sold TO Baltimore, and it is probable tina:
the coupons will be extended to Philadelphia,
New York and alapoints North and East
Some of the Southern roads are as yet unde7
cded whether they will make tickets with this
route in consequence of their long connection
/ with the Aqua creek route, but there can be
20 doubt that such arrangements will be made
as to give the public their choice of routes.
Mr. H. D. Whitcomb, Superintendent OF
the Virginia Central Railroad, accompanied BY
Mr. Fandegrift, Superintendent of the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad, are TT present in the
North making a selection of cars for the night
train, and will in avery short time put. On cars
with berths or sleeping seats,as they mayfthink
most comfortable CT acceptable to theirayeillng

enterprise and desire to accommodate their
patrons, and We hope they may meet with tie
most abundant success Rich Eraneincr.

A very large area of ground-pcrhaps

Of very superior quality, the result is the
promise Of an, abundance which will go far to
wards restoring to prosperity our agricultural
interests, Besides the very large crop of corn
raised last season, and the unexcelled pros
poets now for an abundant wheat, harvest We
learn that 1t is the design OF onr farmers to
stretch the utmo energy in putting out an ex-
ira large corn crop Labor Is adjusting itself
to the new condition of things imposed-by the
result Of the war; the stoppaee of rationS to
the able bodied by the Freedmen Bureau has
thrown thousands; upon their own resources,
and rather than starpe they are forced to work
The result is wages are more reasonable, and
labor is Becoming diFused very generally
through the Valley: ~ = 90 's.Ts+ y, - -,
The above is rho kind Of news that is really
encouraging We hope the energy of the
Valley will stimulate the rest of the State to
