ton that antiquarians in future would
search in vain for any impression of an

ever been made seems to be one
of the objects of the writer of
the monograph, who states that
the seal was made IN London, at q
cost OF one hundred and twenty-five pounds
and twelve shillings, and was placed in the

THE CLIFTON FORGE CONNECTION.
This is railroad whose building is bv
many deemed most essential to the vital
interests of Richmond. Any effort, there
fore, tending in that direction will be ne
rused with eager interest. On Saturday
captain Charles G. cambridge, chief engi-
neer OF the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
extension from Huntington to Chicago,
arrived IN Lynchburg for the purpose of
making observations of the proposed route
from Clifton Forge to deep water. Since
.hat tilne this engineer has passed on horse-
pack over that portion of the line located
between Lynchburg and Clifton Forge.
along the valley of the James. He saws
that the ruling grade between these points
IS only tpenty-nine feet to the mile. while
by the present line Of the Chesapeake road
It IS seventy-four feet /; by the Baltimore
and Ohio one hundred and six, and by The
Pennsylvania Central ninety-six feet. Mr..
cambridge is now engaged in examining
the topography of the country around
Lynchburg with view of deciding on an
outlet eastward for the proposed road, He
will strike as directly as possible from that |
city to Appomattox Courthouse, thence to |
deep water, leaving Burkeville, perhaps.
some thirty miles to the right. As soon
as these observations are concluded. Mr..
ID. will put them in the form of report.
and submit them to the proper authorities
Of the great road with which he is con-
nected. The prospects of the building of
this road-which would be of incalculable
advantage to Richmond--are exceedingly
bright. As soon as arrangements are per-
ected for their western connections with
louisville. st. Louis, Chicago, &C., now
,eing pushed ahead the authorities of the
chesapeake and Ohio road will turn their
Ittention to the Clifton Forge extension.
