The Public Debt.

ue have entire faith in the public senti-
mont Of the people of Virginia with refer
cnce to the public honor and credit. IneS
desire to redeem their State from any I'M
peacbment--any doubt Of her good faith.
The debt is large. The crying act OIL IN
Justice Of partitioning Virginia without
even the consent Of the people who were
cut off from the State, much less that Of
the constituent body of the whole Com
monwealth, has added to the complication
of the question of the public debt. But let
us hope that that difficulty will be soon adj
justed, and that, by wise management OF
the finances, the State will soon resume 'he
payment of the interest on her DEBT.
II would be wise ut once to exchange the
stock Of the State in railroads at par for her
bonds. That would pay good round sum
and stop interest.
With reference to the resources of the
State, there is good reason to hope for such
an increase of them that the burthen will
be gradually but perceptibly diminished.
The prospect is that the communications OF
our people with other States will soon be so
extended and expedited as to bring these re-
sources more fully into productive use, and
thus add much to the public revenue. The
moment we are placed upon an equality
with other communities in the matter OF
facility and speed of intercourse there will
be new life impaired to the public ener-
gtes and enterprises, and the wealth of the
State will rapidly increase.
Then we have the hope of improvement
from peace here and peace abroad, so favor
able to the investment of capital i'll the
solid enterprises Of the country, for which
Virginia affords the finest field in the Union.
immigration, too, will bring in people that
will pay taxes, and diminish the number of
those who pay none.
The prospect is cheering. All we want
is faith. That will bear us through tri-
umpantly from the condition of prostration
to that of thrift. No Virginian could look
backfrom the coming bright day to period
of State dishonor with anything but the
deepest modification. We do not believe
that such period will come to Virginia.
We trust that the Legislature, acting under
the same feeling and conviction, will firmly
pursue the policy Of preserving the public
credit unstained.

The Railroad Era in Virginia.

There is a great agitation Of railroad
views and plans in Virginia, which, it is to
be hoped, will result in advantage to the
public interests.
That community which is not possessed
of that sort of intercourse, social and COM
mercial, with other parts of the nation
which is equal in facility and expedition
with that which generally prevails in the
nation. is placed at a serious disadvantage.
The physical resources, the advantages OF
situation, climate, scenery, and soil OF a
country so crippled 10y the want Of that
sort of intercourse with other communities
cannot be made available. They must be
unappreciated, neglected, and unproduc-
tive. Virginia never will prosper as she
should until she is placed in connection
with the other States and the great cities OF
the Union by the most facilitated and rapid
mode Of communication known in our days.
Let us hope that this grand desideratum
will ere long he secured to us, with refer
cnce alike to western and to southern and
northern lines. Give Virginia this equality
among the States, so indispensable to the
securing Of her due political weight in the
| nation, and she will grow and strengthen
in a manner heretofore unknown in her
| history.

RESIGNATION OF RAILROAD SUPERISTES-
DENT.-Colonel Thomas Dodamead, super
intendent of the Richmond and Danvile
railroad, has resigned his office to accept
the place of engineer and general superin-
tendent of the Greenyille and Columbia
railroad. of South Carolina, which runs
from Columbia west one hundred and forty.
three miles, with q branch of twenty-one
miles to Anderson Courthouse, and also
connects with the Blue Ridge railroad to
Walhala, and the Spartanburg and Union
railroad. HIS many friends will regret that
more liberal remuneration and wider field
of operations has tempted Colonel Doda-
mead to leave Virginia. He has been con-
nected with our railroads for more than
thirty years, having during the time had
charge Of the Richmond and Petersburg,
Chesapeake and Ohio, Virginia and Ten
nessee, Richmond and York River, and
Richmond and Danville railroads, and early
in the late war was sent west by the Con-
federate Government to take charge Of the
Memphis and Ohio railroad and the road
from Bowling Green TO Nashville while
General Albert Sidney johnson was in
command ut the former place. He returned
to Virginia after the fall of Fort Donelson,
and has been on the Richmond and Danviile
railroad until yesterday, when he left this
city for his new field Of operations. His
and practical knowledge in all the
de partments Of engineering, construction,
TRANSPORTATION and machinery of railroads,
has given Colonel Dodamead q deservedly
high position In his profession, and we re-
greet that his services have been lost to our
State.

The Virginias and the Debt.

The joint resolution proposing to refer
the question of the proportion Of the pub
lie debt to be paid by West Virginia to ar
bitration has been travelling to and frc
between the two Houses of the General AS
sembly upon a difference of opinion of nc
great moment.
Very properly the House struck out o.
the resolution (Which originated in the
Senate) the declaration which throws the
onus Of delay in the settlement of the mat.
ter upon West Virginia. Tragic heroes,
just before mortal combat, address upbraid-
ing speeches to each other; but such lam
guage does not suit peaceful proposition.
In this amendment the Senate concurred.
The House also struck out The provision
in the resolution which required the ratiii-
cation of the award of arbitration by the
Legislat ures Of the two States. This amend
ment was on yesterday disagreed to by the
Senate, which seemed to be indignant at
the idea that so important Il matter should
be left to the final decision Of arbitratorS.
For ourselves we wish this debt question
between the States could be promptly dis
posed of, and would, for one, be willing
that Virginia should leave 1t to final settle
ment by arbitration.
But the Senate is fustidlous. II the pro-
vision reserving the right to ratify be strick-
en- out, assurcdly there is nothing in the
resolution to bind future Legislatures.
There would just be nothing on the sub
jcct, and the future Legislatures can take
such action as they deem proper with re-
gard to the decision of the arbitrator.
Still it would appear that, possibly, by
leaving out the sentence requiring ratitica-
ton, there might be less inclination to hew
and bore the award i'll a captious and fault
finding way.
The credit of the State would be improved
by settlement of this veXed question be-
tween the States, and we suppose all peo-
pie in Virginia would be gratiiicd by any
thing that would facilitate conclusion so
much desired.

France.

The elections OF members to the COnstit-
ucnt Assembly with which the King Of
Prussia hopes to arrange peace are to
take place on the Sth, and the Assembly is
to meet on the 10th Of February. If Prus-
STA can fix up peace with that body we
suppose she will f.; but if the Assembly does
not show the signs of consistency and force
that will make it reliable, of course Prussia
will take measures to establish Govern
ment with which she can treat with the be-
lief that what it undertakes to do will be
entirely performed.
We doubt whether Prussia puts much
faith in the coming Constituent Assembly,
or in the Republican Government; but,
under the circumstances, it isprobable that
BISMARCK thought it due to public opinion
that mt least trial should be made Of the
Government established upon the downfall
Of LOUIS NAPOLEON.
We do not believe Republic is possible
in France-at all events, one of long dura-
ton. If it is attempted we fear that inter-
nal disorder and strife will follow the dis
tresses and desolation Of the invasion of the
Prussians. Prussia has, we suppose, no
faith in French Republic, and will not be
slow to observe and profit by the first sign
of weakness and incompetency that may
show itself in the republican rule. Prussia
wants her indemnity, and she wants the
faithful performance of al the terms Of
peace, and she will be sharp enough to see
that the installed Government shall have
that show of endurance and strength that
will guarantee these matters.
There is a sporadic show Of discomfort
and resistance in France. Lyons is ram
pant and defiant. But the localities will
in due time all submit to the decree Of fate
and yield. War cannot continue in France.
Prussia will clinch the nail Of victory.

What Policy Conuuers.


A miserable, narrow. minded bigot, whose
heart is eaten up with malice and vindc-
tiveness, writes a letter signed "a Loyal
list" from Washington to Mr.. GREELEY, of
the New York Tribune, taking him sharply
TO task for his temporizing policy towards
the so-caled rebels. He asks with sharp
irony whether the outrages committed upon
ioyalists in the South are to be "remedied
" by turning these States over entirely to
" the control of these self.same rebels?"
these rebels who, this bigot says, "ought
:" to thank God and loyal men on their
" Bonded knees daily if they are permitted
to live in the country" What q combi-
nation is here! May we be pardoned for
even abiding to the infamous blasphcmy of
this association But it is significant of the
seH-conceit OF those wretched men who
deem it no improperly to place themselves
in company with the Divine Author of all
things. Can human vanity 60 further. and
can We be surprised at the brutality of the
vindictiyeness Of persons who would thus
degrade the dignity of the Supreme Being ?
But MIR. GREELEY handles The writer
with decided success. He teaches him the
divine virtues, informing him that "hate is
to be conquered not by hate, but by love-"
He tells " Loyalist" that his policy OF
pains and penalties "tends directly to put
"the Government and country into the
"power Of the late rebels and their north.
ern sympathisers." Mr.. GREELEY calls
the attention of this infuriate and blind
egotist to the results in Virginia, West Viz
gina, Missouri, Tennessee, &C., and proves
conclusively that their elections were con-
trolled by the proscliptive nature of the
Republican governments to which they
have been subjected. The Tribune declares
that this policy continued will sweep the
Republican party from the earth. The
sharp and well.deseryed lecture concludes
thus:
ST confess" said Edmund Burke, in re-
ference to our fathers rebellion, "that l
know not how to draw an indictment
against three millions Of people" " A 10y
aflst !" is doubtless Il better lawyer; but the
impossibility of Furnishing SO many is still
manifest. Your prisons will not hold them;
they viii hide you attempt to shoot them;
and, as to contiscating all their property,
you would simply deprive 1t OF all market
value. and enable few officials and their
cronies to enrich themselves enormously.
Meantime, industry would stagnate and
starvation sweep away myriads, since no
one would grow crops for others to reap.
When all was over, you would not nave
realized the expenses of the process; but
half the country would be utterly ruined
and the Republican party swept forever out
OF power. Such are the natural fruits OF
!" A Loyaiist's" programme.
Very well. But how stands the President
Of the United States towards this enllght-
