Conn ittees from Virginia. mum bering about
ere hundred and fifty in all. and embracing
some OF the most influential citizens of the
State they represent are in Baltimore for the
purpose of soliciting subscriptions by ths
corporation OF that city to the capital stock of
the LyEchburg and DanvIlle and the Virginia
Valley RaIlroads-two lines which, as yet,
exist only on paper. The proposed Lynehburg
SHd Danvilie road Is practically an extension
c. the Orange And Alexandra road winch runs
&c Lynchburg. From DanvilIe, distant sixty
five miles from Lynchburg, there now exists
an AIRLINE as far south as Charlotte, n. O..
from which main line roads branch out into
the productive regions of North Carolina.
Prom Charlotte this line defects towards Co.
Ianbia, s. c. and BranchvilIe, still throwing
out many important feeders to the right and
left. At Branchyille the communications are
with Charleston, Augusta, Atlanta, Savannah
and the other important Southern cities. The
Virginia Valley railroad, is TO be constructed
between Harrissnburg and Salem, on
the Virginia and Tennessee railroad n
distance of one hundred and thirteen miles.
The committee on behalf Of this road is headed
by General Robert L. Lee, and had a confer.
eEoe With the Mayor and City Council OF Bal
timore yesterday, hut no business was trans
acted, and another meeting is to take place.
The committee is understood to desire q sub
scription of one million dollars to the capital
stock Of the Valley Road. The Lynchburg and
Danville Railroad Committee presented them.
selves before the City Council at its session
yesterday afternoon, and a memorial was read
arguing the advantages which would accrue to
Baltimore from the construction of the road
and asking for subscriptions to lis capital stock
TO the amount of five hundred thousand dol.
lars The Council referred the application to
3 special committee. The Americdn says The
Constitution of Maryland debars the city from
mourning any debt in aid of works of internal
improvement and hence any such appropria-
HONS could be made from nothing but the pres.
EFT assets of the city. OF these there are none
that are available beyond the stock of the Bal
tImore and Ohio Railroad owned BY the city,
amounting TO s3.25O, 900.
