Our Richmond correspondent furnishes
the intelligence that considerable uneasiness
is experienced in Richmond in contempla-
ton of making West Point, or sport Rich
mond," as it is now called,a shipping point
for the through freight of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway. Attention is also b, ing
attracted to the charter granted by the Leg
islature for railroad from Hanover juno
ton to West Point, which would make d.
rect route for the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway. Whatever may the present pur-
poses of this corporation, it is rational to
conclude that when its western connections
have been assured, deep water will have to
be reached directly In the east. This means
in Richmond. Protest and remonstrance
will be useless against such policy, for it
is that which is alone consistent with the
enlarged ideas that must govern in the man.
agement OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way, in connection with lis character as a
great avenue of Accommodation be-
tween the Pacific slope, the West and North
west, and The Atlantic seaboard. 1t will be
but few years, after the western connec-
tons of the Chesapeake have been formed,
until thriving city will be built up at West
Point. If Richmond has not the energy and
enterprise to keep up her trade and stimu-
late her growth by the establishment OF
manufactures, her future will be by no
means promising.

The extra session OF Congress has been de-
liberating CT pretending to deliberate for
two months and half. The party that
force it, stand pretty much where they CON-
menced, with the exception that they have
exposed their purpose, and effected demoral-
ization ia their ranks. They profess to have
made the issue of troops or no troops at the
polls; but when it is remembered that pres
ent laws prohibit troops at the polls, and
that the repeats they proposed were tanta-
mount to placing the country at the mercy
of the mob, reasonable men will not think
they have made much Roadway. The Presi-
dent not only in his messages, but by his
acts during his terms of service, has satisfied
the country that there is no danger to free
and fair elections from the few soldiers in
service. and that the olamor about fair cleo
lions is make shift to conceal a design to
give free rein to ballot box stuffing and false
registrations. II the Democrats are salts

Republicans will not complain. So the mu-

Mr.. Gormley, candidate for Represen-

and who was an entire stranger to our peo-
pie two weeks ago, carried this Democrat
10 stronghold by a majority of nine. All
kinds of slanderous reports were put in
circulation to check the current that was
sweeping every thing before it in his favor.
Mr.. Gormley has proved to the people Of
Perry county by the vote Of the entire
township in which he lives, with the excep
tions of few votes that he is An hon
est, competent man and has the respects
of all who are personally acquainted with
him. He received a recommendation from
his home that no other man has ever re-
ceived in Perry county, and which his
many new friends will be pleased to hear,
and the fAlsehoods circulated by his enc
mies have been buried so deep that they
will never resurect.
