Just Suppose !!

We often hear, says the Whig Of donations
to colleges and charitable insti-
buttons, but we cannot now call to mind any
instance ola donation to work of internal
improvement. Suppose some wealthy man
should take it into his head to give few
millions Of dollars towards completing the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, or the James
River Canal What noble and useful APP
preparation it would be !! He would be i'm
mortalizcd lie would open a continental
highway of trade and travel He would
bring the East and West together. He would
furnish the Mississippi Valley the best route
to market that it can ever have, and give it
convenient ocean outlet He would build
up at Norfolk a seaport that would rival the
greatest that now exist or that ever existed in
former times. He would be the founder of
direct trade. He would be the means Of ma
king thousands Of people prosperous and hap
Ply. His name would be honored forever,
and he would have the lasting gratitude of
many communities.

The Mexican Qnestion-Who Will Win !?

Telegraphic rumors attach great import
ance to the visit Of General RosENcRANZ to
the White Sulphur at this time, especially as
General LEE, and number of other promi-
nent Confederate Generals, are there.
WE suppose that General RosENcRANz
waited to visit our side Of the field, to put
this and that together" with General LEE,
as they fronted each other in that fruitless
campaign of 81, and that's about all he came
for, except to enjoy himself as one can only
do at the White.
Still, there is something in his being ap-
pointed Minister to Mexico, five can rely on
the statements Of one of the shrewdest poll
ticians in the United States. Conquering
Mexico is GRANTS big card it has been
his hobby-his cure-all for every
disease Of the body polite since the surren-
der. He wants to be hero-a second Cor
TEE. lie wishes to crown his brow with the
laurels, which he did not gain during the
last war, by adding Mexico to the Union =
The right or wrong Of the matter is nothing
to him, so he raises a big smoke, and under
its cover carries out the radical programme
South Per Contra 1t is said that ANDY
Johnson intends to nip this nice little game
i'll the bud, and that General RosENcRANz
will not be long in finding pretext for Gin
tervention by the United States ia Mexican
affairs" which means annexation. 1t is a
very pretty game as it stands, and t would
be a pity to spoil it Go in, GRANT, eight it
out on that line y Go in, ANDY, trip
GRANT up, and 'may the DEVIL take the
hindmost! !"

All a Mistake.

The Central Presbyterian quotes from
"HoMopuoNus," the correspondent of the
Catholic Mryor, who makes us his cicerone,
about the Natural Bridge. "IloMopHoNus"
says: ut was his (our) firm belief that
General JAcKsoN's sudden death alone pre-
vented his dying in communion with the
Catholic Church. Now we never met Ho-.
MoPnoNus at Natural Bridge, but on the
Packet going to Lynchburg We conversed,
as newspaper men generally do, to pass away
time Our recollection is that he asked us
'if it was not generally understood at Head
Quarters chat General JACKSON once, in
Mexico, hada leaning to the Catholic church !"
We answered "that such was the impression
and that the General always treated the Cath
Ole chaplains attached TO his corps with the
greatest respect; that he was not the preju-
diced man DR. DABNEY's book led one to
believe; that when he became serious in re-
gard to religion, he investigated all creeds
and finally became Presbyterian and that
General Jackson never did things by halves. "
Then Homophonus said what he, by mistake
no doubt, puts into our mouth, as above quo
ted. We answered stranger things have
happened" We give the substance Of the
conversation according to our recollection and
can easily see how our friend "Homophonus'
was led to believe we agreed with him in this
matter, as we did generally on most Of the
subjects we discussed. Will DR.. Brown copy
this and send US his paper in exchange?
