surmounted by several beautiful marabout

a string of diamond drops, four in number,

road was surrendered to Northern capitalists
upon condition that they would cohipleto it
to the Ohio river in three .years and within
the same time build a road from the city of
ltichinoud to Newport News and also, con
struct a road from Lynchburg to the -main
lino of said road in the diroction of tho Ohio.
Complete this road from the Ohio river to
Newport News and you have a lino from Cin

to Baltimore, and 200 miles shorter than to
New York. J They, also authorized another
Northern corporation, to build a road from
Danville to Lrachburg. u o may tnereiore set
down the roads as fixed facts, and as we pro-
coed in this article it will be seen how all this
can bo turned to our advantage. From
Lynchburg, cast your eye up the Virginia and
Tennessoo Iwoad. until you reaoh Bristol in
East Tennessee; from that point a Kaiiroad
is being built (of which Gen'l Kirby Smith
is President) to Cumberland Uap, mo cor
