Has consolidation Proved "a Failure ?

Has Consolidation Proves ~ Failure?
To the Editor p' the State Journal:
It has become manifest that the CONSOLE
dation upon Virginia's north and south
line, of all the railroads between Weldon
and Washington, will be fiercely resisted
by combinations Of power and influence
which will startle the public attention.
Although the proposition of the Petersburg
Railroad Company offers to every interest
involved perfect equality Of right and OPP
~portunity, attempts no coercion, provides
for no condemnation of stock or franchise,
but leaves every company named in the
bill free to act as interest or inclination
may lead, yet the opposition promises to
be as angry as if the proposition were in all
respects otherwise than what it is.
1t is natural that the Robinsons and
their partners in the Bay and Potomac
steamboats,, and in the Seaboard and Roam
oke road should oppose the enterprise, be-
cause if successful, it will oblige them by
the force of moral s%uasion, to devote to the
service of the of the State their
franchise in the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad, which they have

ACCIDENTALLY DRowNED-SINGU-
LAR 0CCURRENCEs.-A lad named Jos.
Alley, aged eleven years, while sliding on
the ice on the canal, near the Tredegar
Works, yesterday afternoon, about three
o'clock, broke through and was drowned.
His body was recovered last night by
Messrs. David Jones and John Rollins,
and taken to the residence of his distressed
parents, on Oregon Hill. The Coroner was
notified of the occurrence, but deemed an
inquest unnecessary. Another boy came
neal being drowned at the same time, be-
ing saved by the exertions of his COM
panions and a faithful dog.
Mrs. Alley relates that Just after break
fast time yesterday morning a clock in her
house, which had been silent for months,
suddenly struck nineteen strokes. AT n
o'clock last night the company Of ten or
twelve persons who were sitting up with
the corpse of the unfortunate boy were
startled by twenty-five strokes from the
same clock. After the lapse of q few mo-
ments two mere strokes were sounded.
A gentleman present, who is our informant,
opened the door of the clock, and found the
machinery perfectly m~otionless. At six
o'clock this morning the clock again com
menccd striking, and continued to do so
until Mrs. Alley took it up, carried it
some distance, and then restored it to the
mantlepiece. We mention these singular
occurrences without attempting to account
for them, but with full assurance that they
took place, as stated.

"Hurrah for women
from the st. Louis Globe.]

We love women-old or y~oung-simply
because they are women Our mothers
spank us our sweethearts spoil our joys
by flirting with our rival our wives read
us a genuine or moderate Caudle lecture,
which we usually deserve. Women has
laughed at our woes when indulging in the
tender passion, riddled our hearts with
Eurosian arrows, depleted our pocket-book,
disturbed our slumbers, spoiled our coffee,
rumpled our starched linen bosoms, hung
to our arm with her whole precious
weight when our corns hurt us most,
danced us into perspiration and caused us
to buy lozenges for a cold but in spite Of
all these things W Glove her. We set her ur
as an idol and PROSTATE ourselves before
her as before some divinity. We dom
care a copper what dry goods cost, SO she
looks sweet. We will fight for her like {

shall ''hang our banners on the outer
