The information given by us Yesterday
with regard to the disposition OF congress
towards this great improvement must have
cbecred every Virginia heart. We have
verbal information, on very good authority,
which confirms our Information by the mail
and the telegraph. Gentlemen confidently eS-
press the conviction that the bill will pass TIE
next Congress by alarge majority. The cana'
Is demanded BY national necessity; and since
Virginia has expended nearly sl1.ooo,ooo
upon it, It is no great work for the Nation 10
finish it. No work of equal magnitude aha

now spoken of. Such highway, Tree 10 Tue

milk than ANY other pure bree1. AT

tho best, and, as betwcen these breeds,
ones choice will necessarily be deter
mined BY the consideration whether
