interest of the State of Virginia and of the in
dividua stockholders. They have, the Sun is
informed, arranged to complete the entire road
to Charlottesville in 1870 This, continues the
Sun, by the expected completion of the Ches-

width, while the Isthmus of Panama, connect
ing North and South America, is only % miles

the latter at much less cost than the one just
opened over Suez. The Nicaragua route, up
