of old fogies and croakers, denounced the building of a road from Norfolk to Petersburg, urging the sufficiency of water communication, the probable failure of the enterprise, the unnecessary expenditure by the State and by individuals, it is well enough known by some that one of our citizens, noted as well for his enterprising spirit and clear perception of the present and future wants of the commercial public, as for his literary and versatile talent, not only originated, but urged the important work to a fair commencement, resulting in a vigorous prosecution and a successful result. Who doubts now the immense and paramount value of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad? "Honor to whom honor," &c. It is rumored that there is unusual activity at Old Point. Many are expecting an attack at some point near our city. But who knows? Galerius. P. S — I learn that a French ship-of-war went ashore last night off Lynnhaven, and was probably gotten afloat this morning. G.

e full, the streets washed off nicely, and no person hereabouts, in town or country, has cause for complaint about the want of water, which, this morning at "three of the clock," came down very copiously. To-day, the clouds hang loweringly giving down light showers, the wind continuing in pleasant gales from the coast. The stentorian voice of the steam-horse, coming in with the train on the Norfolk and Petersburg Road, is just at this moment heard, as the cars dash over the splendid Iron bridge, about a mile distant. This road, by the way, is of special importance, not only to our city, but also to Richmond. Petersburg, and to the State, and the entire South.--The rapidity with which troops can be transported, the connection which it gives between the seaboard and the interior; thus securing an interchange of various articles of commerce, giving us needful supplies and sending hence articles wanted elsewhere — but who does not know the immense advantage of this important line
Craney Island (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 10
From Norfolk. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, August 20, 1861. This morning, at 8 o'clock, the deep, sullen roar of distant ordnance was distinctly heard here. The firing was quick and regular, and but few doubted that a foreign ship had come into the Roads, and that salutes were being exchanged. Some of the "seven sleepers," however, being suddenly aroused from their slumbers, and supposing that old Craney Island had opened her tremendous batteries upon the Yankee, the Pawnee, or some other audacious and piratical Northern craft, they were not specially tasteful about their toilet, but hurried out to see the grand naval engagement. The regular firing of heavy guns was also heard at 9 o'clock. A report is in circulation that a French fleet has arrived, and that the heavy discharges of cannon were salutes from one of the ships, and returned from the Federal and Confederate forts. It is rumored, also, that one of the vessels belonging to the fleet

ing an interchange of various articles of commerce, giving us needful supplies and sending hence articles wanted elsewhere — but who does not know the immense advantage of this important line of internal communication? We should award all due importance to that well managed and well known line, the Seaboard and Roanoke Road, extending hence into the old North State, and giving us a connection with various important chains of land travel and transportation Southward and Southwestward. To Col. Mahone, of the Norfolk and Petersburg Road, and Mr. Superintendent Robinson, of the Seaboard, and other officers connected with these lines of travel, the people are greatly indebted, at this war crisis especially, for the able manner in which they discharge their important and responsible duties. They who years ago urged the commencement and prosecution of these great public works, against powerful opposition, are entitled to the gratitude of the fortunate beneficiaries thereof, especially at

A report is in circulation that a French fleet has arrived, and that the heavy discharges of cannon were salutes from one of the ships, and returned from the Federal and Confederate forts. It is rumored, also, that one of the vessels belonging to the fleet is aground.--Of course, we shall have the particulars today. Mr. Schisano, the French Consul, has gone down to the Roads, and will ascertain the facts. Our city is blessed with a plentiful supply of water; the cisterns are full, the streets washed off nicely, and no person hereabouts, in town or country, has cause for complaint about the want of water, which, this morning at "three of the clock," came down very copiously.
