The Chesapeake & Ohio-Its At.
y fa.e lantic Terminus.


This West Virginia road has an
important future. 1t is extending
both eastward and westward, east
ward from Richmond to deep water
at the mouth of the James river,
which is the Atlantic Ocean, and
westward to Cincinnati, Louisville
and Toledo. 1t will be a very impor.
tant trunk line in another year. By
the 1st of October the extension to
Newport News-a distance of "a
miles-will probably be open to trav.
Ell, and the company will be in a pc.
sition to compete with the other
great trunk lines for western trade.
With its Ohio connections it will
have an all.rail line of quite 500
miles from one of the chief centres
of Lake navigation toledo to the
chief calling station and finest har-
Dor Hampton Roads, on the Allan
tic coast, and with its southern ex-
tensions it is inevitable that New
port News in the near future will be-
come formidable competitor for the
export trade alike in cotton, coal and
grain.
Up to the present time a million
of dollars has been expended in i'm
provements, and the full execution
Of the plan of which these improve
ments are part will involve an out
lay of several millions more. In the
first place, half mile of water front
is being converted into piers and
bnlkheads;a pier 700 feet long by
1872 feet wide, and constructed in the
most durable manner, is already fin
ished, and another, of the same
length and 55 feet wide, intended for
coal shipments is under way, while
third, also 700 feet long, and fully
$50 feet wide, has been projected for
the accommodation of the Old Do
minion Line steamers, which are to
make daily trips to New York. In
addition to these, piers Of similar
dihiOhoiOho diO w NC Cuuebl uCtcu lUT
the lumber, coal and provision trade,
and an elevator, built after the mod.
Ell of therfamous Erie elevator at Jer-
soy City, and of equal capacity a.
100000 bnshels) is shortly to be
erected, These improvements are in
themselves sufficient evidence of the
company's faith in the future devel.
opment Of its business, but if further
proof were needed, it could be found
in the fact that the company has al
ready laid off the plat Of a city Of
ten thousand inhabitants on it's
property, each block containing about
sixty lots, and has marked off and
graded the streets and avenues TO be
cut through and graded. One mill.
ion brick have been ordered for the
construction of fine hotel, and it is
probable that large iron furnaces, as
well as railroad shops and round
houses, will be erected as soon as
practicable. Indeed, as the improve
ments now in progress, and soon to
be begun, will give employment to
about $500 men, Newport News will
be u full blown city almost from the
start.

Miss Ida Iveson, a Wheeling school
marm, has fallen heir to s2,500,O0C
over in Scotland. Her father was
the second and Youngest son of an
aristocratic Scotch family, and upon
the death of his father, the estate de-
scended to the eldest son, who drove
his brother away. Hecame to Amer.
lea, changed his name and has lived
in humble cottage at Chilocothe.-
Two years ago two strangers called
on him and offered him 5000 TO sign
a paper without looking at the con.
tents, this excited his suspicion, and
he went to work, got enough money
to go to Scotland, and there found his
brother had died without issue, and
that a steward and a distant relative
were trying to get possession of the
estates. This he promptly stopped,
identified himselfand took possession.
He returned, but died on the 7th ult.
The estate, however, goes to his
family.

Now, that the Dispatch has had the
hardihood to publish to the world an
opinion that West Virginia intends
to repudiate all liability for the Vir.
ginia debt, will it be frank enough
TO answer before the world few per.
tinent inquiries:
l. Has West Virginia ever refused
to admit a liability for a portion Of
the Virginia debt?
2. Has West Virginia not made
several attempts to settle with Vir-
ginia the amount of that liability?
8. Has not Virginia refused and
shlrked any settlement with West
Virginia?
4. Has not Virginia in the absence
of any settlement, arbitrarily and
impudently assigned and ATTEMPTED
to saddle upon West Virginia an i'm.
just proportion Of the debt?
5. Is it not, and has it not been,
the purpose Of Virginia, in avoiding
settlement with West Virginia, to
avoid an admission of the injustice
of the assignment made to this State,
and to saddle the censure and dis.
grace of reputation of a part Of
the debt upon West Virginia.
6. Is West Virginia legally and
morally liable.for any of the so.called
West. Virginia Certificates?
7. Admitting the moral obligation
for portion of the Virginia debt, is
West Virginia legally liable to the
Virginia creditors for one penny
of 1t?
8. Does the Dispatch believe that
West Virginia is either legally or
morally bound for any part of the
so.called West Virginia certifca tes?
8. What objection has the Dispatch
to the basis Of settlement adopted by
the Wheeling Convention Of 1861,
and which has been endorsed by all
departments Of the National Govern
ment as reasonable and right?
Will the Dispatch enlighten its
readers on these points and crafty a
curious public?-I Vhceling Register.
