Virginia.—The House of Delegates of
Virginia have passed a bill for incorporating
a company to establish a rail road from New
River to Lynchburg, running through the
comities of Campbell, Bedii|rd, Botetourt
and Montgcunery, a dist^ce of lUU milet-
'I'he capital sjiecified in the bill ii f GOO.UOO,
to be raised by private subscriptiods; at
least one hundred thousand uf wiiifch is ex>
^lected to be promptly subscribed by the cit
izens of Lynchburg. By striking tlie New
River, the road is intended to (>i)en n com-
nuiijication between Virginia and the State
of 'rennessee; and the brilliant prospects
which are thus opened to the anticipations
of tho enterprising citizens of the Old Do
minion, are vividly prtrayed by the Ttich-
mofid Compiler^ Among other, remarks,
that paper says, “ The coimtry in general
[over wh'ch the road will pas.sj is remark
ably level; and the facilities which it pre
sents to the location of the rail road arc so
great, that the use of steam engines can
readily overcome every difticulty, and pro
duce the most convenient transportation for
the protlUce of the West. We have very
recently seen a load of cotton brought to
Richmond from Tenneaste by way of Pat-
ton3burg,and down the Joines River. This
experiment is the pioneer for others—mado
too under every disadvantage of bad roads
and a circuitw:s route. What will hot the
extent of the communication be, when a
rail roiid of only 100 miles shall be laid
down, through a level country, from tho
New River to Lynchburg ? Will not tho
cotton and the tobacco of Tennessee be pour»
ed into the lap of Lynchburg and Richmond?
—and will not an impulse be given to tho
commerce of those cities, which will be ti'lt
to an increased extent and through distant'
ugei.”—/iu/. Star. ,

rartiztttvt.—It may be thought by some,
ftiat the situation of a thorough going parti-
zun, of the .small order, or, to vary the figure,
one v. iio follows his leaders a great way otT,
is a very conrenient one; that he has noth
ing todo but praise his idols, and abuse their
op]K>ncnts; that he need be at no trouble to
think fnr himself, or determine what is true
—what is false-*—what is useful—or what
is detrimental; but merely to “ track full
and fair,” in the steps of those who go be
fore him. Such may be his situation for a
tiaie; but, let it not be forgotten, that this
very circumstance may render his situa
tion the more critical and alarming, when
he IS thrown, by any unlore.seen occurrence,
u(«n hi.s own resources. When bis lea
ders fall out, as is sometimes the case, he
must at least determine which of them ho
will f’ollow ; and this may sometimes lie no
easy matter, lo one not in the habit of de
