"When the devil was sick
Tho devil a saint would be;
When the devil got well,
The devil q saint was he."

The Whig this morning shows how ter
ribly frightened the Fredericksburg and
Potomac company is by the thunder storm
that is still crashing overhead. Itsays:
Mr.. Snowden some days since introduced a
bill to extend the Fredericksburg road TO
Washington, to be completed in five years. We
hear, and with great satisfaction, thar amend
ments will be made to that bill, with the full
appreciation of the authorities of the road, for
the completion of the road in three years, the
surrender of the privilege of tax-exemption,
and rates low and liberal enough to satisfy
every reasonable man. Much OF the prejudice
against this road has sprung from its
possessing this privilege Of tax-exemption !;
and with the removal of the cause the effect
will cease. A satisfactory tariff will remove
any remaining prejudice. The road has always
been distinguished for the civility of its Off
cials and the admirable condition and safety of
its rolling stock. In the thirty-fve years of
its existence very few accidents-none seri-
ous--have occurred upon the line. With the
abatement of the old grounds of prejudice and
the infusion of new life into the management,
we anticipate for it a popularity unsurpassed
by any road that comes to Richmond.
Better see that they build it while in the
humor, for you know how we detest doc
tors, their pills and bills, after we are out
of danger. When fair weather comes
all their fine promises will be forgotten.

Letter From Petersburg.
PETERSBURG, February 10, Il

PETERSBURG, February 13, 1871.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
The Legislature should devote much of
the time remaining before adjournment to
the revision of acts passed at the last ses-
sion. The election law for instance, is full
of defects, of nature too, that no member
who voted for it can justify, even on the
grounds of expcdiency before his con-
stituenoy. Then the laws defining the
duties of various county and city officers,
are so conflicting as to confuse the best
legal talent. Anything that is worth doing
at all, should be well done, and the people
look to their representatives in Richmond
to SO revise the hasty legislation of last
session as to conform not only to the
provisions of the constitution, but to per-
nit of a proper Interpretation by the peo-
pie.
La Rues Minstrel Troupe came to grief

shaling their hosts for the May election,
when members of common council and
several other officers will be voted for.
All the Republicans ask for and demand
is fair play-and no more redistricting of
the city for the sole object of defeating the
majority. BLANFoRD.

AN EXCITING SCENE ON THE Ice
There was quite an excitement on the
banks of the East river, New York and
Brooklyn, Saturday. The floating cakes
of ice, it seems, gorged and made tenn
porary bridge between the two cities, over
which hundreds of boys adventured, while
thousands Of spectators watched them
from the piers. In the midst Of the rash
sport there was asudden excitement among
the long line of boys stretching across the
river. The ice bridge suddenly broke
away, and great many who were farthest
from the shore found themselves floating
out to sea, like. young polar bears on cakes
of ice. Fortunately there were plenty Of
steam-tugs at hand, and all were safely
rescued.

evening State go,,rnal
The Railroad War.

There is certainly some rare material In
the composition of our General Assembly.
In the face of the overwhelming array OF
facts which have been presented with such
sledge-hammer logic as has reduced it to
self-evident proposition, it passes our
comprehension to understand why there
should be longer delay in the adoption OF
the bill which is now engaging the atten-
tion Of that body. Every consideration OF
State policy, and OF individual Interest,"
save that of Messrs. Robinson and Daniel,
call for it and demand it in a manner not
to be mistaken. To arrest the public
attention, and withdraw it, even for the
shortest time, from those subjects which
constitute its daily routine of business.
is matter which can only be effected
by the occurrence of something which in
wolves their own immediate interest or
safety. This has been done and is chiefly
due to the fact that there is now clear
comprehension of the merits of the case
and the issues involved. In conjunction
with others we have added our earnest APP
peal in behalf of an all rail line with low
freights and fare, united with just COM
petition between this city and Washington,
and for deliverance from the oppressive
and grinding monopoly which has so long
existed 10 the shape of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad COM
pany. In the accomplishment of this and
the consummation of other favorable con-
ditions which are already in progress, we
believe is to be found the only hope of
raising Richmond from the ashes of her
adversity and converting her into great
and prosperous city-which is her proper
destiny. Yet. some gentlemen hesitate J
AS the custodians of the public interest,
we are not only surprised that the gentle
men of the Legislature should hesitate now
to accept the relief that has been prof
fered us, but that year after year our
legislators should assemble in this city and
permit the existence of this enormity to
which we have alluded, without an inves-
tigation and corrective. If Norfolk is the
plea, our own senses tell us that this
policy to build city upon the sea has
been a failure, aud will so continue,
while the raw material, hot from the
hands of the planters and farmers of the
South, is permitted to glide of this huge
ocean wharf to be spirited away to parts
unknown. Under this system we may
await until the crack of doom, but the
theories of those wise, political economists
of the present day, who would build cities
here and there in day, without regard
to the fixed laws of nature and physical
economy, will never be reduced to prac-
tical results.
Richmond is the great central mart from
which wealth and prosperity are to be
over the hills and valleys of |
The opportunity is now offered
for making her such. 1t may not soon

A ARemarIkable Vision--A Train of Cars
In the Air.
(From the Mt. Vernon (Ohio) Banner.)

Some time before his death, the late
Robert Ewalt was returning home to Mt
Vernon in the dusk Of the evening, on the
Delaware road, on foot; and when he
reached the "white bridge" about mile
west of town, he heard the shrill whistle
of locomotive, accompanied by that pc
culiar rattling noise that always heralds an
approaching train of cars. lie was star
tied by the sounds, and more especially
from the fact that he was partially deaf,
and could only hear the wstle of loco
motive and the noise of train when very
close to him He suddenly paused and
looked around him, but saw nothing un-
usual but the sounds becoming more dis
tinct, he looked up, and very clearly be-
held train of cars passing through the
air at remarkable speed, going in the di-
rection of Mt. Vernon.
The train was crowded with passengers,
who appeared to be as happy as birds on
the wing. and waved their handkerchiefs
to Mr.. Ewalt from the windows as they
passed by him. Mr.. E. hastened home
and related what he saw to his family, and
as the vision gave him great trouble, his
family endeavored to persuade him that
he was mistaken, and that he should give
himself no uneasiness on the subject. But
he declared he could not be mistaken
that he was wide awake, and that his mind
was clear and his body free from sickness
at the time.
We have given the facts as they have
been reported to US, but shall leave all
comment for those who believe in ''spir-
itua manifestations" and supernatural
occurrences.

Humphreys Beaten Again.--A large
meeting of the Republicans of Chesterfield
county was held last night in the town of
Manchester. stse
The meeting had been called In the interest
OF the Third District Congressional committee,
the county to endorse its action in reference
to recommendations which it had made as to
changes in the Federal Offices in this District.
series Of resolutions were introduced sus-
tanning this committee, and after full hear
ing OF this case aud the questions at issue in.
voived in the revenue struggle that has been
going on in this district for the last two months,
the meeting by vote of only six against,
tabled the resolutions, thereby repudiating the
action of the said committee.
Messrs. Humphreys, Morrissey, Taylor and
Lindsey apoke in favor of the resolutions;
Gen. White, Mr.. Burr and Mr.. Washington
against them.
! This is another rebuke to Mr.. Humphreys
and his factionists, who are endeavoring, from
motives of personal ambition, to destroy the
party in the State by drawing out of 1t all who
oppose their aspirations.

Letter from Eansemond.
Correspondence Daily State Journal.

NANSEMOND CO., v A., Eeu. ., loil
notice by the Richmond papers that
Messrs. Chahoon and Sands, who have
been convicted aud sentenced for political
purposes, have had awarded to them new
trial, which is virtually, we hope, an
examination and acqbittal, for certainly
those gentlemen have suffered modification
and humiliation to an extent sufficiently to
crafty the enemies of truth and justice.
The Republicans Of this county are very
much gratfed at the repeal of the test
oath, but think Congress have done enough
in that direction for the present for surely
there can be found a sufficient number of
men Of highest qualifications to carry on
our State and Federal governments without
the aid of old fogyism, and men who can
subscribe truthfully to the oaths prescribed
by the laws of our land.
The correspondent of the Daily Courier
pays sad comment upon Virginia when
he says that the State will go to the dogs,
unless we can somehow employ the fen
and select, born and bred, by divine right,
ollice-holders, who brought about the war,
and then took things quietly, comfortably
and profitably in bomb proofs.
| for one, Mr.. Editor, say let our old
Commonwealth slide, and will ever raise
my voice against such hereditary office
holding aristocracy. Our State govern
ments have changed; the minds of our
people have changed, and we are fully
convinced that our young men of prudent
actions ought to control our affairs in
future.
Our very worthy oystermen, who are
reduced by existing laws to poverty, are
subscribing manfully, asking the General
Assembly to repeal the present tariff laws,
and in its stead substitute law placing
the entire tax on the catcher. Boats that
formerly came here and brought their
loads from our rivers, now go up the bay
to Maryland, causing poverty to reign su-
preme; and thousands of dollars are car
ried out of our State. CITIZEN.
