The corps Of cadets have at last received

consented for the Institute to purchase.
The number of the corps has already
reached nearly three hundred, and there
are weekly accessions. The work on the
new mess-hall is steadily progressing, and
house for Captain Maury is to be built at
once. There has been just completed n
very neat and comfortable "prayer room"
and the attendance upon the nightly
praycr-mc ceilings is quite large.
The attendance al College chapel is also
much better than last year. At the be-
ginning of the session General Lee ad-
dresseda circular to the several pastors of
the town, asking them to arrange among
themselves for morning chapel exercises,
and urging them to exert their influence to
induce the students to join their Bible
classes and attend their several churches.
The Young Mems Christian Association OF
the college will hold their regular meeting
on next Thursday night, and the prospect
for an efficient association during the cur
rent session is very good. They are still
DESTROYS of adding to their library.

Listening to his wily story, she put it in
his hands, to the. amount of more than
hundred dollars, he giving her q receipt for
it, but under false name, which she
WAS too ignorant to perceive. This was the
first wear after the war. Since then she
has handed over to him various other sums,
amounting, all told, to. some 1850, for all OF
which he gave the same kind of receipts.
A few DAYS ago, either because she had q
nse for it. or to satisfy herself that all was
right she began to make inquiries as to
what bank the money had been deposited
in. The result is that she has been swim
died out Of ell her earnings for more than
three wears. 1t is feared that the fellow
has fed, but the police are after him, and
will probably arrest him sooner or later.
But this is not the only feat he has per-
formed. Another of the sisters he treated
in the same manner, inveigling her out of
$3.50. His mime is Henry Freeland, for
merly the slave Of Captain John Pollard,
and believed to be we'll known about Rich
mond.
Another rascal, whose true name is
George Thomas, but with q long list OF
aliases attached to it, was captured to-day
after long and fatiguing chase. He has
figured in almost as many roles as ne has
names, being house-breaker, and from that
through all the intermediate grades down
to chicken-thief. Nothing came am1ss on
which he could lay his hands. For his
success in evading pursuit on numoerless
occasions, he we'll deserves the title OF
"artful dodger." Once he YVES caught and
lodged in jail, but he soon managed to es-
cape. If he gets his deserts this time, he
will be sent for long time to the penlten-
tiary; but he will doubtless soon outwit
Father Wardwell, and bid him French
leave.
Wild pigeons are now visiting this part
of the country in considerable numbers,
and afford fine game for sportsmen. Ihey
are selling in the market for as much as
ten or twelve cents piece. Having viva
recollection OF the toughness of their fibre
when | was boy, have felt no desire to
undertake their mastication in advanced
life. But to witness them in their sweep
ing fight, almost darkening the air, IS rs
animating as ever. ..

yet we have some as accomplished rorues

good order is due to the active and untirine

A, 1,n,,ortant Improvement.

We published yesterday morning a most
gratifying and important announcement
with reference to the Georgia and South
Carolina Airline railroad. The State of
Georgia, according to this intelligence, which
was altogether correct, had, by act of her
legislature, determined to lend for the con-
s,rnction Of that road $4,000 per mile for
that part of it which lies within her
boundary. This is,sbout half the length
Of the road-say lO5 miles. South Carolina
and North Carolina, as well as Georgia,
have granted the company the privilege OF
holding lands and other property without
limitation. Mr.. BUFoRp, the energetic and
sagacious president of the Danyille road, is
made the president of this airline road.
TO his efforts may be attributed the success
of the enterprise before the Georgia Legis-
lature and those of the Carolinas.
This road, according to one authority, Will
shorten the distance between Atlanta, Ga,
and Charlotte, n. c., 2l4 miles. That
diminution of distance settles the question
Of connection between the Danvllle route
and all others from the northern cities 10
the Gulf.
The completion of this airline will be
matter Of immense benefit to Richmond.
With proper exertions on the part of our
citizens it will give them the control of the
trade down to Alabama. The Danvllle
road is peculiarly a Richmond road. Owing
to its situation heretofore--the long pre-
vention of line Of connection between
Danville and Greensboro, the break OF
gauge at the latter place, now that this con-
nection is effected, and the discriminating
and hostile policy which has been pursued
by the North Carolina roads, in connection
with, and probably under the influence OF,
the Seu5oard and Roanoke rdihoad-it
has not achieved for this city that which
under more favorable circumstances it
would certainly have accomplished. But
this airline road through Georgia and
South Carolina will supply the Danville
road with shield seven-fold thicker than
the seven-fold shield of AJAX, and enable
it to dictate terms and extort from connect
ing lines equality and reciprocity, such as
We have ever been ready to concur in.
We invite the particular attention of the
people Of Richmond to this important work,
and to the extensive and productive coun-
try which will be opened directly to our
trade by its completion. Much Of the past
Of railroading about this city has not been
calculated TO do much for the trade or the
prosperity Of the country, while in some Of
their strategic alliances Richmond has been
most seriously injured. Let us congratu-
late ourselves that We have at last set
out upon enterprises that have the clear
promise of being directly beneficial to
Richmond. The Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road and the Danville railroad certainly
have the merit of being tributary to the
progress and commerce of this city in a
solid and permanent manner.
The Georgia and South Carolina Airline
railroad will be put under contract in
short time, and will be finished as rapidly
as possible. 1t will occasion o great revo-
luton in travel between the North and the
South.
