the 'bluntness " Of o sailor, as exem-

50 far as TO say nothing would induce
him to do so. Anticipating some show
OF objection at least on his part. the

scruples.
The formal tender was made In rather
an awkward way, but whatever embar-
basement existed was soon succeeded
by altogether different feeling. when
the Admiral instantly in certainly

tender and then. with scarcely q
pause. went on TO tell exactly what
kind Of house he wished, where be

A New Railroad to Washington.

The Richmond Dispatch 10th says
The announcement that the Sea-

cure line Of its own from this city to

terest.
There is however, another mplny
in the field for the purpose OF securing
line TO compete with the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac, and the
gentlemen interested are acting indie.
pendently Of the Seaboard Airline.
Interested in this movement are capital
lists from this city. Baltimore, Phila-
delphia. and Plttsburg They have al
ready surveyed the route they desire to
take. aud assert that they will decrease
the distance by rail between Richmond
and the national capital nearly fifteen
miles Ii is not purposed to parallel
the Richmond. Fredericksburg and
Potomac. but rather to open up new
country en- route to Washington.
THE gentlemen have already pre-
pared their charter for submission tc
the Legisl ature, and it will be present.
ed on the first day Of the session In
December. A gentleman who has seen
the charter, and who Is thoroughly
oonversant with the plans OF the pro
motors, gave this information to
Dispatch man, and added that the
gentlemen felt already that they had
assurances Of success.
1.-THE Dispatch's informant did not
state what amount OF capital was named
In the charter, and said he was not au'
thorized TO give the names OF the pro-
motors nor their plans. further than to
state that the charter provided fully for
protecting the States interests in the
Richmond. Fredericksburg srd Poto'

1.-THE fight for q charter for line tc
Washington will undoubtedly be an in
teresting one. and will occupy the at
tention Of the Legislature for some
time. A similar fight was made two
sessions ago. and though there was a
strong lobby in favor Of granting a
charter at that time. the bill did not
secure the necessary votes.
