run and build good railroad line, 'as any

and amusing to- the Virginia statesmen ana
legislators Of that day (sueh OF them. as may
be now living to be informed that they are
mistaken in suppostng that they are entitled
to the credit Of suggesting and inaugarating
this scheme, but that the whole credit Is
due to General Mahone's allinspiring brain:

= It is doubtless true that General Malone
was the originator OF the scheme for con-
solidating the great rail- line from. Norfolk
to Bristol and that by his influence, with
the Legislature Of that day, the scheme pc
came q law and was carried into operation.
And therefore SO much the worse Tor Gen
Eeral MatfoneS 'statesmans II he ,!consid-
cred the interest Of s,the State as he ought to
have done. TWAS urged by the opponents
OF this consolidation bill las. is known to
"eyery man of, ordinary Intelligence i"
who has not -" stultified himself y
shat the States interest In these three
lines :. OF road Should be, appropria-
ted to the payment OF the State debt
millions OF which could have been thus
paid off, and relieved, our taxes, But
the advocates OF consolidation, headed by
General Malone, cried out with a loud
voice 80 Virginia for Virginians, (" ,."DoWn
with the man who would sell the great Xir-
ginfa rail line to Yankees or Europeans y
"Crucify him, cruelty him.. It was in vain
that the opponents OF consolidation argued
that this line of railroad would shortly and
inevitably fall into the hands OF persons re-
siding outside Of the State, and that it had
better o9then; and let the poor. old State
get something for it, than to wait iongerand
lose all: But General M 4. views pre-,
rallied, and the State has lost al. II should
iuot be complained against General Manone
that the road has gone down under the, late
financial pressure, because many other, rail-
ROADS have shared The same fate. But this
