ported Senate bill authorizing The sale oil
the lands and enemenls belonging 10 lhe
United States al Harpes's Ferry, which
was passed. There is probably no posi-
ton in the whole country which com
msnds superior water power Tor manu-
featuring purposes. WHILE at the same
time, its geographical position and rail-
road connections existing and in prospects
confer upon in peculiar advantages to be-
come a great seat ci manufactures. Inc
scenery a, this point Is spoken OF by MI
Jefferson as perhaps The most slnguIaTIy
nic,uresoue ir America. Ii Is situated al
the junction Of The Potomac and Shenan-
doah rivers, seventy miles west OF
Baltimore, fifty seven from Washington
End thirty from Winchester, with which
i, is connected by railroad. The name
of The place was originally Shenandoah
Falls, its present name being derived
from Terry established long time ago
across the Potomac. where the river
breaks through The Blue Ridge, al which
place it is about one thousand two hum
dred leet in height. 1t is al this grand
gateway Of the beautiful Valley OF Elr-
einia, and amidst wha, Mr.. Jefferson
terms "mcnumenls Of q war between nv.
ers and mountains which mus, have sha-
ken the earth itself TO lis centre" that
one OF The largest manufacturing centres
in America may ye, spring up, if capital
and enterprise are employed TO avail OF
the extraordinary combination Of natural
aud artificial advantages which HerPefs
Ferry presents 10 that END.
With The great railroad through the
valley accomplished, Harper's Ferry
may become second Lowell. BY ME
Baltimore and Ohio railroad ii is already
connected with the cities Of the central
and northern Atlantic seatoard. as well
as the great West. This valley road is
to run through the Valley Of Virginia,
crossing the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road in Augusta county, thereby making
connection with eastern and West Virgin.
ia crossing James river canal and feeder
in Bote,our, and Rock bridge counties, and
tapping the Virginia and Tennessee road
nearly in The centre, at Salem, Roanoke
county, about seventy miles west oil
Lynchburg. BY this connection, and
others which are contemplated with the
whole system Of southwestern and south
ern railroads, the collon from the South
