r. 1t is understood that twelve
eminent New York capitalists have
undertaken to complete the work
begun by the State of Virginia be-
fore the war, of building a railroad
from Richmond and Washington to
the Ohio river. A party of engi-
neers and railroad men have just
passed over the route, and say that
it is very favorable one; the dis
tance between common points at the
West and the seaboard being less,
and the grades twenty-five per cent.
less than any yofthe other trunk lines,
Two millions of money has already
been raised for the project.-Ne,o
York Sun, 18th.
This will be good news for the
friends of the Chesapeake and Ohio
r. r. Tt secures the rapid con-
struction and early completion of
the road. Cannot our earnest citi-
zens secure the. active interest and
cooperation of these capitalists for
the immediate construction of the
road, hence to Hampden? Is it not
highly probable that the same terms
made with the Marietta and Cincin-
natl r. R., two years ago, could be
renewed with these gentlemen?
Who will go to work in this matter?
What is wanted, is few energetic,
earnest men to take the affair in
hand and "push things"

Death by Violence.

A sad affair occurred in this city
last Wednesday afternoon, resulting in
the almost immediate death of one OF
our citizens. The parties were Mr..
VIM. LAWN, an old geptlen,an of 60
years or more, aud John A. Van Vleck
youth of IS years, and son OF DIR j..
A. Van Week. The death of Mr..
LAWN was the result. yA ~
The only judicial examination Of the
ease that has taken place. was the one
before Coroper:. Wall, on Thursday.
The verdict of the Jury was, that
"Lavin came to his death BY a sharp
pointed knife in the hands of John A..
Van Week, by which the femoral ar
terry, on theleft side, was partly sever :
ed The testimony, substantially, des
veloped these facts: It seems that
John Van Week and James LAWN, both
youths, got into fight at the river, at
the foot of Dufour's wharf. Mrs. LAWN,
the mother of the boy and wife of the
deceased, being present, parted them.
Mr.. LAWN, the victim in this sad af-
fair, hearing of the fight, went to the
bank of the river, to inquire into it, and
probably to stop further quarrelling.
Young Van Week soon after came up
the wharf, with his knife open, in his
hand, whiting. As he reached the
top of the bank, some words passed be-
tween LAWN and the boy, when the
former took hold ofVan Week, and,
in the attempt to wrest the knife from
the boys hands, short scuffie en-
sued. LAWN succeeded in getting pos
session of the knife, and then stepped
back few spaces, when it was dis
covered that he was stabbed, by the
blood squirting from the wound quite
freely. He walked IS or 80 feet, and
then fell, and died within 12 or Is
minutes. At what part of the scuffle
the cutting was done, the witnesses
were unable to tell. The knife was a
common one bladed Barlow.
Mr.. LAWN has been a resident of our
city for some years, and was known
and respected as aquiet and molten
sive citizen.
Van Week was before Mayor Dam
ron on Friday, and. waving an exami-
nation, was bound over to Court, in
the sum of 81 900.

Eagle admits that he was in company
with another man, that committed the
crime of murder, on the lower wharf

day of July, 1869. Said Eagle admits
that he saw the man knocked down,
his throat cut, and his pockets rifed,

name, neither does he know the man
that was killed. He says the man that
was killed was waiting for boat.
Eagle also says that after this man.

wharfboat, that he stepped down the
river one or two hundred yards, and
hid his knife by sticking it down in the

crime through the papers, and know

the party arrested, The said Eagle
says that said murder was committed

one day in the brick-yard of Messrs.

here he hired on the Kate Henderson
