From the commencement of this improve
ment, up to its present advanced condition,
lsays the Leesburg EashingtOnian Of Fiday,)
the President of this Company, Mr.. LEWIS Nc
KENzrE, has displayed in his management, f.
nancial skill and ability rarely equaled, and
hrs indomitable energy and perseverance in its
construction, under the most adverse circum-
stances, entide him to the thanks of all who
rejoice to see this work-so important to this
section of Yirginia-in its present prosperous
condition-moying into new life, under the
cheering prospect of a speedy completion to
the coal 6ells. From small beginning, and
at first, with strong opposition it hasadvanced
and steadily gained the confidence of CAPT
talists until ithas, though the agency
dent, enlisted in its support, several of the
largest and most enterprising capitalists in the
country. 1t viii now take its position among
the leading roads of the State, in opening to
trade and travel, one of the main avenues be-
tween the Atlantic coast and the vast domains
Of the West. 1t will be advanced rapidly to
the Valley, and then to the coal fields Of Vir-
ginia, and finally to the Ohio river, where it
will tap the great agricultural regions Of the
Mississippi Valley, and open, from that vast
reservoir Of commercial wealth, a splendid
channel Of trade to the waters of the Potomac,
atthc cityofAlexandria, The country through
which it will pass is unsurpassed in diversity
of soil and scenery. The lands are of
the most productive character and the mineral
region, which will be opened up to the indus
try and commerce Of the world is ample in its
coal and iron deposits, to supply the demands
Of an empire for centuries. No more attrac-
tive field is presented among the various rail-
road enterprises of the country, foSinvestment
than this. 1t cannot fail to be amply remu-
nerativc aud must enhance in value, as the
population Of the country increases. So long
as the West is pouring Ter vast productions
upon the markets Of the world, will all the
railroads connecting the Atlantic coast with the
trans Allegheny regions be proftableandhand
somely remuuerative. Especially must this
road be so, when the coal and iron regions of
Virginia, will be taxing its capacity to send
their productions to market
This improvement is destined to make Al
exandria one of the important commercial
cities on the Eastern coast. With large part
Of the Valley of Virginia, and all the rich and
productive region between the Potomac and
tie Blue Ridge, sending their products to her
market, and direct communication with coal
fields and the Ohio river, with her splendid
harbor facilities, she must become prosperous
and Furnishing city. She has the intelligence
aud enterprise IN her merchants and business
men, and now awaits the opportunity, this inn
provement, with those already completed, will
afford to make her rival her more prosperous
sister cities. Her prospects, like those of this
whole section, are very much improved by the
certain completion of this road to the coal re-
gions.
