ilroad from Harper's Ferry to connect with the Virginia and Tennessee railroad in the Upper Valley. President Garrett, in his report, says: "In the new era that has opened, another subject of the greatest importance to the country, and especially to the people of Virginia and Maryland, has been presented. Many of the most distinguished citizens of Virginia have expressed their anxiety for the early construction of a line of railway leading from Harper's Ferry, through Winchester and Strasburg, to connect with the great Virginia and Tennessee road, in the southwestern part of the State, and thus open a direct and effective line of communication from Baltimore to New Orleans, presenting to the States of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana an admirable, economical and direct line to the national capital and the great seat of commerce at the head of the Chesapeake.

Many of the people of the Palmetto State are deeply interested in this matter, being still in arrear on old purchases from the Virginia slave dealers. The subject has been brought to the attention of the Legislature, which , it is expected, will make provision for partially discharging the creditors' claims. The revenue derived by the Government at Macon, Georgia, from the duty of two cents per pound on cotton, for the six weeks proceeding the 1st of November, amounted to four hundred and fifty thousand dollars; and it is estimated that the duties derived from the same source at that place will reach more than half a million dollars additional during the months of November and December. The City Council of Atlanta, Ga., has offered one thousand dollars reward for the apprehension of the murderer of James R. Crew, candidate for Mayor of that

It is also announced that if a lady has dresses or other garments manufactured at home during the year, the whole cost of which exceeds six hundred dollars, she must pay a tax of six per cent. upon all of her wardrobe above that amount. Here is more trouble. A new legal question, growing out of the emancipation of the negroes, has been raised in South Carolina.

Mr. Garrett quotes a long extract from Governor Peirpoint's message in this connection. Governor Peirpoint was for a long time the counsel of the Company, at Fairmont, and his aid is no doubt counted upon by the Company. We need not say that a railroad which thus promises to place the whole Valley of Virginia (and through it the entire Southwest) in close and constant communication with Baltimore and the North, will receive the support of the people of the region through which it is proposed to construct it, nor that its effect would be to divert from Richmond much of the trade and traffic which our people have for years been led to expect from Southwest Virginia and the Valley.

There is great trouble at New York among the ladies because the United States Assessor is looking around among the dressmakers, and demanding a tax of six per cent. of the value of all dresses made, notwithstanding the materials have already paid heavy duties at the custom-house, if they have not been smuggled. It is also announced that if a lady has dresses or other garments manufactured at home during the year, the whole cost of which exceeds six hundred dollars, she must pay a tax of six per cent. upon all of her wardrobe above that amount.

y benefitting them, will also yield a rich fruition in increasing fraternity and commercial prosperity. Such a link will accomplish much in the restoration of kindly feeling, and assure mutual interests and the best and greatest commercial advantages, and will aid in binding in iron bands those great commonwealths to the union of our fathers. "A natural route, full of local and general advantages, is thus presented. It is true, that whilst a portion of traffic which now comes up the Ohio river, and is received by Western railways from the Southwest--thus passing over the whole three hundred and seventy-nine miles of the Baltimore and Ohio road, would, through a valley line, pass over but eighty miles of the main stem; yet, in view of the great objects to be achieved for those interests and in securing a direct communication to Washington, and adding vastly to the commercial strength and importance of Baltimore, I do not hesitate to commend to the most, earnest and favorable cons

Of the ability of the Company to construct the road, our readers, who, we fear, have never paid much attention to this mammoth corporation, will be able to judge from the following statistics.
