at present no reciprocity in literature
between Russian aud Western Europe,
which is sufficiently accounted for by the re-
mote and exceptional character of the Russian
language, and by the peculia habits
of the people. Yet the writings of our own
authors are received in Russia with the hearti-
est recognition. Every book of note that
creates a sensation here is at once reproduced
there, and our leading novelists would be sur
prised if they knew how. anxiously the for
tunes of their heroes and heroines are followed
by thousands of Russian readers, not only in
the two great capitals of the empire, but in
every town into which the chief magazines
make their way, from the borders of Germany
to the Chinese frontier, and from the wastes Of
the Arctic Circle TO the shores of the Caspian
and the Mountains of the Caucasus. We hope
the time will come when Russia will pay back
her debt, and make us ashamed of our igno-
rance, for she is certainly not destitute Of a
national literature.

Railroads i'm Virginia.

From the Richmond Wing.
We would restrain any attempt of Virginia
lines to cheat the State of Virginia or the
cities of Virginia out of the trade that pro-
perly belongs to them by forming unnatural
alliances with external companies. And we
would require all our lines that can be made
to do SO to point toward our own seabOard, 80
as to create direct trade and build up a great
Virginia port. But in doing this, we would
not be unjust. We would not deny any
locality to which we could not offer an advan-
tageous market access to market outside Of
our State lines. We would have Virginia
policy. That policy should be designed to
commence or extend all our lines 30 as to con-
meet with Southern and Western avenues OF
trade and travel, and to point them all to our
seaboard. We would then extend consolida-
tion in order to get rid of those jealouses that
spring from rival managements, and to carry
out the system efficiently and cheaply.
The policy is now out in its infancy. We
hope to live to see it in its maturity. The
consolidation OF the Norfolk and Petersburg,
South Side and Virginia, and Tennessee Roads
constitutes the first step in this great progress.
Under its operation we already see a great
leak partially stopped at Lynohburg by which
much valuable trade escaped from Virginia.
1t has been intercepted there, and is now
turned toward our seaboard, and benefits all
the cities traversed by the consolidated lines
or connecting with them by. other lines.
When this system shall be perfected,
as we hope it will before many years
have passed by, Virginia trade and
much of the trade of the Western and
Southern States will be attracted to our sea-
board. AS much of it as can be accommo-
dated will stop at intermediate Virginia towns;
and be attracted to our city of Richmond. The
! same lines that shall connect Norfolk with
the Western and Southern avenues will trans
sort to this city the grain from hundred new
| fields, and enable our Touring mills to greatly
increase their business. Indeed the rush OF
grain will necessitate the erection of new
mills in order to grind all that comes This
flour trade, as we have previously shown, will
stimulate every branch of business here, and
will lead to great commercial connections
abroad that will result in a general Interchange
| of commodities.
