rha flames River Railroad.

The Lynchburg Republican ia entirely
m,staken In its inference that we intimated
that the Chesapeake and Ohio Ranroao
company would "put a stop 10 Tue
scheme" Of building a road down James
river from Covington to Lynchburg. we
intended. no more. than we said-viz., that
the scheme "is one vastly interesting 70
tina. company" and that the charter
authorizing the road gave it ga word on
the subject. It would have been as erro-
neous in us to assume that this company
had the power to "stop" the scheme as II
is in the Republican to charge nat we 50
intimated. The charter gives that company
an equal right with the southside road on
the subject (; but should it not avallitseh Oh
that right, then under that charter the
southside road is authorized to ulid IT,
Clearly, therefore, it is a matter OF deep IN
terest to the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
whatever it may decide to do.
So entirely free from excitement were the
remarks on the subject in the Dispatch OF
Tuesday that the Republican gives uncalled.
for advice to us not to get out of temper
Equally gratuitous is the remark OF the. ne
pubbcan that il does not concede "that
everything in the way of improvement
should be for her Richmond,s) exclusive
benefit" 1t would be very great injustice
to the Republican to accuse it OF having
made any such concession. We never, in
the slightest degree, suspected it OF a dlspo-
sition to do so! :.
We cannot be frightened by the threat
made by the Republican that the road TO
Covinston will be built before Richmonds
"etqht millions viii have gotten well to
work" No, we cannot be frightened by a
new railroad in Virginia. We do not know
what "eight millions" the Republican
speaks Of; and if any such sum is to get
~to work" hereabout, we hope it will not
be slow to do so !; at least, that it will not
wait for the construction Of the road from
Lynchburg to C~ovington before it begins.
The Republican assures us of the indom'.
table determination Of %Lynchburg to build
this road. We are gratifed to hear of the
great resources of the fair town at the foot
of the mountains, and trust that by the
time she finishes the work Richmond viii
Join it with aroad of her own, and, under the
laws, be enabled to consolidate and pro rate
with it.

Spain is experiencing some of the evils of
party conflicts and personal ambition. Her
fame has waned. She has furnished the
finest specimens Of chivalry, and also the
most exquisite satire upon its excuses.
And now she has little left but the past to
be proud of. She becomes a prey to modern
political ideas, and certainly deserves the
pity of mapkind. 1t may be that that poor
old nation is passing through an interme-
date state that will terminate in a better
condition-that will revive somewhat, of her
ancient renOwn. <#....

"The news Of recent success Of Gu

grand and Los Tumas had given impetus
and new life to the patriot cause which
will prove irresistible. The enthusiasm
of Cubans knows no bounds. They are
rising en- masse and flocking to the lib
Grating army by hundreds and the Span
ish openly assert that the revolution will
be successful, that the Spanish force is
almost destroyed, and that Spain cannot
send sufficient reinforcements to regain
positions lost by these battles. II is re-
ported that the CubaDs in these engage
ments fought with great dissemination
and daring and showed discipline equal
to that of regular troops. The Spanish
troops everywhere are demorAlized.
They have no confidence in their sol
disrs, many Of whom are known to sym

cation of the liihogrsphing stone from

backs that have been extensively circu-
lated in the South and Southwest were
struck, and have at last, by persevering
and energetic efforts, obtained possession

alone over half million spurious notes
have been printed. They have also OBJ
tanned possession of the stone from which

which were so extensively circulated q
few months ago, were printed.
