The decision whether he be given up to the United States authorities will be rendered on Thursday.
Richmond Railway company.
--The rails for this important work, save the turnings at the different street corners, are nearly all laid, and were it not for she impossibility of soon getting the proper cars, our citizens might look for the active operation of this great public convenience at an early day. The directors of the company are among the most energetic and prudent business men of the city, who, together with their President in the construction of the road, in which the very best materials have been used, have certainly combined rapid action with scunomy.

Any error of judgment that they committed before that period, was an error into which the wisest might have fallen, and which has been more than atoned for by their unsurpassed devotion to the common cause.
Gen. Jackson's famous Stonewall brigade, the very name of which has become a terror to the enemy, is composed in great part of old Union men. That the enemy takes the same view of the subject, is indicated by their arrest, under circumstances of great cruelty and oppression, of old Union men.-- The case of Mr. Janney, the President of the Virginia Convention, is a case in point.
