have no doubt but that the eitimates j will be reduced
after a proper survey and choice of route,. but ifHhey
are increased another $500,000, surely a trade for which
Virginia is spending five op six millions is worthy of this
amount. g '
Virginia is expending 400 thousand for the passage
of the Blue. Ridge alone, and; Pennsylvania expended
one million and a third for the same purpose. I under-,
stand that the Buncombe Turnpike which passes down
the French Broad cost but $500 perrnile ; my estimate
for the Rail Road over the same grouiid is $3000 for
grading, while the Turnpike is eight feet wider than the
Rail Road. In the passage of the Blue Ridge, seven
teen miles are estimated at ten thousand per mile the
Alleghany Rail Road in Pennsylvania which passes over
pretty much the same ground- built in the most perma
nent manner with bridges" of stone, and twenty-eight
feet wide, cost 13000 per mil to grade.

Davidson College.
Messrs. Editors: It may be a matter of interest to
you, as well as to your intelligent readers, to know that
the Convention to be holden at Davidson College, and
which was published in ydur paper for several weeks,
has taken place ; and that William H. Foote, D. D-,
ofVirginia, was elected to the Professorship, of Moral
and Mental Science, in that College. The interest
manifested on the morning of the Convention indicated
a determination that a work f importance was to be
done, for there was an unusual promptness in the at
tendance of the friends of tho Institution. When the
roll was made out,; there was found to be forty-nine
members entitled to the deliberations of the body. On
motion of the Rev.' Cyrus Johnston, Rev. R. H. Morri
: son was called to the Chair, and Rev. William Banks,
was chosen Secretary. Nominations were then called
for. The names of the following' gentlemen were
j brought before the Convention, viz : Dr.. Yeomans, of
j Pennsylvania, Dr. Foote,; of jVirginia, Mr. Engles, of

loting. Dr. Foote was then announced by the Chair as
being elected, having received thirty; votes out of forty?
eight. At which announcement there was a general
satisfaction expressed in the bright countenances of the
whole Convention, and especially by the students of the
College, whose iaterest in the proceedings of the Con-
' vention was intense, for as soon as the election was
of made known, their approbation was signified by a gen
tie clapping, which run through their ranks.
It was then moved by some member, that the Con
vention ballot again, and endeavor to give a unanimous
vote to the Professor elect. This vote resulted in forty-
x for Dr. Foote, and three voted blank.

In this Town on Friday the 7th inst., PLEASANT,
infant; son of Dr. Pleasant Hdnderaon, aged four years
lacking one month, and the only remaining child of bis
parents.. j
It is for affection to chronicle the sayings and deeds
of moist children, and to that record they may generally
be committed with most propriety. The world has lit
tle interest generally in a child of this aze, and vet this
community knew this little boy, and took a deep and !
"eiy gmeresi in nis iaie. Au jearly developement of in
telligence, personal strength atid action, added to a lovely
and honest little face, failed nt to awake in the many
who nfere about him admiration and love. The painful
character of the disease, (strangulation from croup,) and
its tefVible vicissitudes for several days, kept our vicini
ty in a state of anxious excitement ; and when at last
the news went forth that " little Pleasant was dead,"
it produced a sad depression of feeling amongst us. A
1 pause or a sigh in the busy world is a rare tribute for
one so young, but his memory has now the tribute of
many tears and lasting sorrow.
ISo bitter tears for theej be shed,
; Blossom of being! seen and gone;
With flowers alone weistrew thy bed,
Oh blest departed one ;
Whose all of life, a rosy ray,
Blushed into dawn, ana passed away.
Thou wer't so like a form of light
That heaven benignly called thee hence,
'Ere yet the world could breathe one blight
, O'er thy sweet innocence.
And thou, that brighteij home to bless,:
Art passed, with all thy loveliness.

Cotton Yarns.
THE SUBSCRIBER has mnde arrangements with
th Proprietors of the " Beuna Vista Factory," by
which he is enabled to furnish their Cotton Yarns at the
lowest market rates, either at wholesale or retail.
These Yarn3 need no recommendation as to their
superiority with those who have used them. Those who
have not, I would ask to give them a trial.
