T,ha Sale of State Stock.

The bill authorizing the sale Of the STOCK
Of the State In certain raiiroads-that IN
the Richmond and Petersburg road being
most. conspicuous of all-returned to the
Senate with amendments, was yesterday
referred to the Committee on Roads OIL
that body. Upon the question of reference
there was some controversy, and 1t was
finally decided irrespective of opinions
with regard to the bill itself. 1t Will be no
doubt promptly reported by the committee
and receive its fate, whatever 1t may be-
But we feel quite sure the bill will pass,
with the provision that etfectuany confdes
the Richmond and Petersburg road to the
private stockholders, for whom the "nsne''
gentlemen stand as sponsors and guaran'
tors. This will keep the road independent
and free to all interests, insuring for Gen.
MALONE entire fire. edom for all that he can
possibly want in the use Of the road. Thus
will be accomplished at once justice, wise
policy, and freedom to commerce, upon
line of road which, though short, is like
the throat to the Atlantic coast intercourse
and trade. 49,.

The Flank Movement.

The movement which sets free the AT"
lantic coast line, beginning ut Richmond
and passing through Petersburg, Whining
ton, Manchester, and the cities OF South
Carolina and Georgia, TANKS the Seaboard
and Bay monopoly, and will force that line,
which has inflicted incalculable injury, to
fall back and curtail its depredations upon
the legitimate commerce Of Virginia.
This important advantage so restraints the
enemy as to facilitate movement in West
ern North Carolina for the relief of the
Danville railroad from the odious and OPP
pressive restrictions put upon it there
through the combinations of which the
Seaboard road and Bay line is the main
power.
This view of the matter is important. We
cannot see how any representative whose
constituents are at all interested in the
Danyille road can oppose the bill now re-
turned to the Senate selling the State stock
in the Richmond and Petersburg road to
the .'nine Virginians." They have made
the movement that thus happily tanks the
Seaboard and Bay line. 1t is the very sal
walton of the Danyille line from the oppres.
sions imposed upon it in North Carolina
1t will cut the ligatures put around the
Danyille line in the North State, which
have so shrivelled the business prosperity
of the Danville road.
Sustain the flank movement, so "respon'
sive to the interest of Virginia." and all
our difficulties in North Carolina will soon
be dispelled.

Mr.. PooRE, of AppomattoX, announced
in the House of Delegates on Wednesday
that direct steam line from Norfolk to
Liverpool had been established by General
MALONE. He, however, afterwards spoke
of zone steamer" which had been built or
purchased by the General. [This, of course,
cannot be one of Mr.. MCGAULL's "any lit
tie steambeats."] Now, we should be much
pleased if such line were established, but
the announcement Of the gentleman from
Appomattox was news to US. He wanted
TO know If General MALONE should be put
to death for establishing such line. We
trust he is not to be put to death for not
establishing such line Com. McCRED1E
would assuredly vote against any such judg-
ment upon him. The Commodore would
take all the cotton the General might bring
to Norfolk, rather than he should be sent to
his doom for not shipping it off direct to
LIVERPOOL!

Sell the Stock-Make the Money.


The example of Mr.. GRAHAM, of Wythe-
one Of the most sensible members of the
House of Delegates-deserves to be EMU
lated. That gentleman favored the transfer
of the Richmond and Petersburg road to
Gen. MALONE, and voted with his friends
until it was plain that they were hopelessly
defeated. MIR. GRAHAM then declared that
he could not in justice to the State permit
the bill ordering the sale Of the stock IN the
Richmond and Petersburg road to fail. He
considered it a good financial operation,
beneficial to the State, and affording some
relief to the heavily -burthened taxpayers
of Virginia. Under this enlightened sense
Of duty, and throwing aside all personal
considerations for the good of The State, he
voted to sell the stock for $3.50 per share to
the nine Virginians.
This example reflects the highest credit
upon Mr.. GRAHAM. He can make COM
plete defence for the act; but can those
who have used, or may use, their influence
to defeat the sale, make so good defence
Certainly not. The offer IS the best the
State has had since the war, and cannot be
properly rejected. A sale like that, under
the circumstances, will give stimulus to
the value of State credit and to her pros
perity. twill be inferred that if the railroad
interests are improving in Virginia, Vir-
ginia herself must be improving. She will
become more and more an object of attrac-
ton. immigration will be increased, and
so will investments in the lands, water
power, and mines Of the State.
We know of no such marked instance of
true wisdom and patriotism for long time
as that displayed by MIR. GRAHAM in his
conduct on Wednesday.
