The Enquirer rather has the Whig, IN
der the above heading, when it says:
Some months age it marshalled it's friends
and led them into the charge against corpo-
ration which it said had dwarfed the interests
of the whole community by its high charges
on trade and travel, and by its subservience to
the interests of private parties to the detriment
of the public veal. Under its lead the Rich
mond and Potomac bill was passed through the
House of Delegates by an overwhelming vote,
and thus one branch of the General Assembly,
in concert with the Whig invited the very
people to "come and dwell with u.s." of whom
the Whig now says, eve cannot, with any
safety, give them any foothold ON the territory
Of Virginia"
And why not !?
Ii the arguments against the Alexandria
and Fredericksburg road are worth any thing
nop, we're they not as potent against the coz
struction Of the Richmond and Potomac road

The Pilgrim SINGER. Mr. Phil,ips-

The Pilgrim Singer, Nr. PAllips.- = By
some oversight, we neglected to notice the
great event of the past week, which was the
advent among US of the Pilgrim singer, Mr.
Philip Phillips. He gave an exhibition of his
wonderful musical powers and requirements at
the Broad Street Methodist Church on Friday
evening, before full and fashionable audi
ence ; and to say that all were delghted, is
but poorly to translate the feelings OF the vast
multitude under the magic spell of his voice
In his pretty and affecting little Sunday school
songs, mostly founded on incidents of q pa.
thetic or heroic character, he was unsu ASIA
BILE, and sung them in voice that surmounted
every difficulty in the scale. His remarks be-
tween the songs, too, were tervent and eff
fective; and. taking it altogether, we have not
listened to SO pleasing and instructive a lee
ture, and of such mixed meic.dramatic
character, in Richmond. In some of his most
familiar hymns, the audience joined him to
swell the chorus, and the effect was truly
grand. Apostles, like this Pilgrim, we're they
more numerous, would be powerful missiona-
ries everywhere in the cause of christianity and
morality.

THE LATE JAMES HAGGERTY was at
tended to his grave, in Philadelphia, a few
days ago, by large concourse of weeping
and swearing friends. His remains were
enclosed in rosewood coffin, and four
black horses, plumed and draped, drew the
hearse. The Philadelphia papers have
long articles respecting Mr.. Haggerty, and
the telegraph has noticed him freely. He
was one of the most eminent Of the great
fraternity of Blood-tubs, and it has been
repeatedly remarked Of him that he never
saw a head, in appropriate position for
that honor, that be didn't hit. He could
strike heavier blow than almost any 9TH
or man, and the names Of the po-
licemen~ who have been fogged by him
is Legion. Now and then ne turned his
attention to women and children and beat
them in the most elegant manner but as
q general thing be applied his art mostly to
the class that could best appreciate and
honor it. Some time since finished MUIR
derer was executed at New York and his
remains given to his friends. His funeral
was very large aud very lively ; but if it
exceeded that of Mr.. Haggerty in these par
ticulars it was because Of the illegitimste
fame he acquired by the singular manner
OF his DEATH TO say the least, Mr. Hag-
gerty's funeral was very successful one,
aud reminds I'd once more Of the familiar
lines
