In letter written by Hon. A. Ell. Fl. Stuart
Of this place, iu reference to a proposed branch
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, through
Greene, Madison and Calpeper to Washington,
he says: Whenever parties are able to make
satisfactory exhibit of an earnest purpose,
coupled with present ability to build rail
road, subject to the laws of Virginia and the
control of her Legislature, [ would allow them
to do SO unless in exceptional cases, which
might involve breach of public faith. /"
The Alexandria Gazette quotes the above and
adds:
These views will be strengthened by a judi
cous general railroad law, to which all railroad
laws should be subjected, and in which such
provisions should be inserted as will show all
persons, in and out of the State, wishing to
build roads. exactly what the terms are, and
these terms should be of the most liberal char
