Norfolk In q Rage.

Norfolk, after having welded in times
long ago the sceptre of commerce, and
permitted it to slip from her grasp and
fall successfully into the keeping of the
"foreign" cities of Philadelphia, New York,
and Baltimore, now turns, and, in her rage,
attempts to inhict a fatal stab apon her
own sister city of Richmond--as if it was
our fault. A 'smammoth mass meeting"
was held in that city on Monday night,
for no other purpose than to influence the
General Assembly against the interests OF
Richmond. If this injury to Richmond
would be of any benefit to Norfolk, we
might excuse the course pursued by our
capricious sister, on the score OF selfish
ness: but as she will be involved in the
same ruin with us, her conduct is inexpli-
clble and without Justification. Some of
the speeches made at this meeting were as
savage as they were silly. One speaker
said:
If the bill passed now before the Legislature
Il
the roads from Richmond to Weldon, the con
test would be no longer between that grea
monopoly and the Seaboard read, for 1t would
make one continuous line from the cotton
fields of Georgia to the banks OF the Delaware
The result of this would be that every poun'
| of cotton would be shipped to Philadelphia
| cheaper than it could be to Norfolk. Unde

A BRUTAL FATHER-HE Throws HIS
NAKED CHILD INTO THE STREET. The
New Orleans Picayune of the Sth instant,
says /:
"Last night, as the officer on Lafayette
street was making his rounds in the neigh
borhood of Magnolia street, he was aston
ished to see child, about seven years of
ace. wandering down the street, and a
number of dogs barking and following
him. Starting in pursuit, the officer soon
overlook the child, whom he found per-
fecty naked. 1t seems that it had incur
red the anger of brutal parent who had
thrown it ruthlessly into the street.
"The kind-hearted officer borrowed a
shawl. with which he wrapped up the
t child. and brought it to the Lafayette
street station. What disposition has beer
made of the little fellow has not been as
cortained. nor the name of the little strau'
Ger and the officer who rescued him. Tht
circumstance, however, reveals hruta
outrage without parallel in wickedness
To throw a naked child of that age int
the open street of great city, at tina
hour of the night, is something mon
strous."

in their ear" Their object was evident lor
it would have given them one grade from
Augusta Georgia, to Richmond. Such an iaea
of success for the Pennsylvania Central wouid
be suicidal to Norfolk's interest; Tor 1t wouiu
be the means of losing the STA, 600 she mas IN,
vested in the Raleigh and Gaston ROAD, anu
the 1870. 900 bales of cotton that passed over our
road would be transferred to the roads running
North which would be emptied into the lap OF
PHILADELPHIA, and then the commerce and trade
of Norfolk would dwindle down to her flsh-
carts and oyster-boats.
So the cotton and other produce of the
South would be carried cheaper to Phila-
delphia by way of Richmond, then by
way of Norfolk That's the argument
But cotton can be carried cheaper to Nor
folk if YOU put rival in the field against
Moncure Robinson's line These gentle
men all seem to argue from the "stand-
still" point. They allow nothing ior
increase of business by the growth OF
trade. They do not look at all to future
exnansiop. when that one little Seaboard
road will not be able to do one-tenth CT
the business. In building railroads we
expect to make trade for them. Give the
people facilities to get to market and they
will Increase their productive forces
Make travel in the South cheap, by dlrec'
and uninterrupted lines, and thou
sand people will pass right through Vlr'
ginia and become acquainted with ns
where one goes through some dark cornel
Of the State now, without learning any
thing about the land or the people. GlSt
| the Southern coast States railroad commu
nication to the North, and they vii
neither entrust their goods nor their live
to the dangers and delays Of the sea. Th'
shipping business will be transferred t.
| the land, and the travel and trade vii
benefit every person and place In tn
country through which they pass. Wha
we want is to cheaper freights-not s.
much for the merchant and producer, a
for the consumer, who, after all, pays th
freight charges. 1t matters little to tn
planter who raises it, or the merchant wh
buys it, or the manufacturer who makes
up, how much it costs to carry bale
cotton from New Orleans to England--th
consumers general public--pay th
costs; and, therefore, it is the publ
who are interested in cheapening the trans
portation Of all the necessarics OF life
market.
