The CENTRAL RA1LRoAD.-At the meet
ing of the Stockholders Ct the Central Rail
road, in Richmond, Col. Fontaine was re-
elected President by reclamation. In the re-
port of that officer, in reference to subscrip-
tions for the Govington and Ohio road, he
says: The people of several localities have
voted for subscription Of stock payable In
bonds at ten per cent discount, to the amount
of SO, $50, 900, as will be seen by the accom-
panying list City of Richmond, s2,ooo,oo) !;
county of Fayette, West Virginia, $3.50 900;
Greenbrier, s25O,000; Kanawha, S5oo,oo0;
Pullman, 100000; Cabell, 100000; Fluvan-
ma county, Virginia, $50, 900. No county in
Virginia has voted against subscription, and
considerable sum is confidently expected
from those immediately interested.
Messrs. G. r. Mason and N. B. Hill were
chosen Directors. The new contract with
the Commissioners Of Virginia and West
Virginia, offers greater hopes of the early
completion of this great Work, In this con
uection we call especial attention to the COM
munication of "Clinton," in to-day's issue.

A SENSIBLE YANK-The Richmond Dis
patch has an interesting letter from Boston,
from which we extract the following for the
benefit of "croakers" South. Itsays:
ENERGY and enterprise will leave the North
and take up their abode in the South, in COM
pliance with law of trade far more impera-
tive than the mandate Of gravitation, which
compels water to sdk its level and the at
mosphere to maintain its equilibrium. These
great natural facts are becoming selfevident
to the moneyed men and to the masses here
at the North, and it is now plainly seen by
my brother Yanks that in prosecuting the
late war to the abolishing Of slavery, they
have bitten off their noses and spited their
own faces, insuring the speedy ruin Of the
North and the everlasting prosperity Of the
South" YANK.

AS whole, the message in its tone and
composition is screditable alike to its author
and the country over which he presides; and
those who do not agree with its conclusions
cannotdeny the ability and dignity with which
they are stated.
From the N. z. Sun, (Rsp. Dec. 4.
The Presidents message is smoothly writ
ten document. evidently prepared with great
care and much labor In the effort to secure
nicely rounded periods the edge of the mes
sage has been somewhat dulled, but it is, new
ertheless, fully up to the average of such com
positions. What it lacks in sharpness and
force, it makes up in dignity and good TASTE
In its discussion Of national questions there
is nothing upon which an objection can be
raised, SO far as the tenor and temper of the
message are concerned. Although the issue
Of Congress is plainly stated, it is not stated
in manner that is in the least discourteoas
or offensive r.
There is one passage in the message, how
ever, which is just now Of special interest. -
We refer to that which bears upon impeach-
ment He says, "ifthe legislative department.
should pass an act, even through all forms of
law, to abolish co. ordinate department Of the
Governmental such case the President must
take the high responsibility of his Office, and
save the life Of the nation at all hazards. -
This language implies that under certain cir
cumstances he would resist the action Of Con-
gress at all hazards, but it is not clear from
his language whether he would do SO in case
of regular impeachment. The presumption
is that he only foreshadows resistance in case
the House attempt to suspend him from office

rection for an outlet, which she is determined
! to have and that soon. Their Commissioners
at the last meeting of the stockholders of the
Central Railroad, heartily concurred with ours
in granting to the Central Railroad Company
time, until the first of May next to raise an
unconditional subscription Of three and a-half
millions of dollars of stock, in which event the
Commissioners of both States are bound to
give the contract for the extension of the road
to the Central Company. Unless Augusta
subscribes, the requisite subscription cannot
be raised. The responsibility of failure is
upon us. Will We take it Augusta, here
tofore the large-hearted advocate Of State i'm
provemert, the patriotic County who has
stood up in all times for the honor and glory
Of her State-will she prove reereant now, un-
der the lead Of a few narrow-hearted men, and
thus leave Virginia and herself PROSTATE in
tie dust?
And who are the men who oppose this work,
and what are the reasons on which their op-
position is founded |? AS a class. they have
never aided any public enterprise and never
will if they can help it. Ask them when you
see them, how mnch they have ever contribu-
ted Of their private means, to any great work
looking to the improvement of the County or
State. Nearly all of them must answer none.
They are gentlemen who live by the princi-
pie that "Fools build houses for wise men to
live in" and while very ready to avail them
selves of the outlay Of other people, seldom
make any outlay Of their own in which the
public is to participate.
What are the reasons? The true reason.
overriding all the rest is, that they are oppo-
sed to all public improvements which require
contribution from them But this reason is
generally cloaked and kept back.
Another, much insisted on, lis that the times
are out of joint, and therefore these philoso-
pliers conclude that we should do nothing to
put the times in joint, by Strengthening and
enriching ourselves wise conclusion. An
other is, that the road when made will be so
crowded with through freight, that the way
freight will be neglected, and the people Of
Augusta, being on the way, would be crowded
out by the overflow of through business If
this is true, what a profitable road it must be
to the stockholders, and how anxious we should
be to subscribe for some of its stock. But ex-
perience falsifes the objection, and proves
everywhere, in practice, that the whole coun-
try through which such road passes flourish
es and has it's commercial wants well provided
for,
Others will tell you they earnestly desire |
