It U iernfore greatly •uperior to any other aa a mfldlutn of advertlaing. riciimowp, VA.» 3lorul«u, Drremker ll♦ 1852. THE ANTWERP LINE. A writer in the Times of Thursday, say* l •'several ships catne to James River this and !sst year. They could not obtain freights to Europe. Some were put in ballast to the South, and some even to New Brunswick . Now we confess we hare not paid to this subject the attention which it deserves, and, therefore, a*k for information. Does this wri ter really mean to say that there is actually not rn< ugh produce in Virginia to freight " seve ral" (four or five we suppose) "ships for Eu rope!" We are aware of the wonderfully elas tic character of figures. W" know, too, that liiey never lie, though they happen every now and then to he considerably mistaken. Yet we should not conceive such a conclusion to be within the reach even of figures, if the writer has reached it by that easy and ready ascent. Figures have proved that every thing ever yet undertaken in Virginia must fail. They remind us of the exclamation of " poor Peter Peebles of the great suit of Peebles versus Plain sians, et per contra." When asked whether he would swear to something, he replied "I will swear to any thing in reason. Odd 1 a plea is a gained plea if it depends on my oath. They can prove any thing, though they never lie. But we think they would find it difficult to show that there is not produce enough in Virginia to furnish a cargo lor any port in Eu rope. Ferhaps, however, the writer only means to eay that trade has decayed to such as to be dependent entirely on New York. That we knew before. New York has become the regular channel through which we trade wiih Europe, and shippers sending theirgoods there, and ha*ing their arrangements made oil the *pot, will not alter them without difficulty.— They must be offered inducements. It is a hard thing, we know, to divert trade from a chan nel into which it has been once forced. But it may be done, and that is the very thing we are attempting to do now. So if, after all, the writer only meant to say that trade had deserted us, we answer, it is a melancholy fact, of which we have been aware for many years, a fact which we wish to see such no longer, a fact which we wish to annihilate by means of this very steam line. In one word, the argument of this writer amounts to this; we do all cur European trade hrough New York, paying annually therefor' a bounty which might, at least, assist in estab lishing steam communication, and because vve do it now, we must always do it. We must not attempt to escape from our vassalage—we must lie tlat on our backs, and hug our chainsi because it has been our custom to do so here tofore. It is the nature (t all great improvements, railroad, steamboat and steamship, to increase travel and production. By the report of the Central Ruilroad Company which lies before as, it appears that the jeceipts for travel lust year, were upwards of $70,000. Does any man suppose that the travel by the old stages would have amounted to one fifth part of that Indicated by these figures? A statement which we published the other day relative to the af fairs of the Danville Riilroad shows the i nor taous number of 34,'200 passengers upon that road within twelve months. We are not aware to what extent production has been stimulated along these two lines, but we have no doubt that it has been in proportion. Now, if such be the effect of internal means of com ■nunication, why should iiot the same thing happen with regard to ocean navigation ? Has not the establishment of the steam line from New Yoik added enormously to the trade of that city ! During the month of April ten years ago, the exports to Liverpool from New York, did not greatly exceed $250,000, and her whole expor.ation, for the same month, was only $509 000. What it was during the same month of the present year, we have no means of ascertaining at present, but we should sup pose it was at least five times this amount. It seems to be a part of a system to sneer at the trade of Antwerp, yet during the month of April last, the shipments from New York to that port were $97,200, that is to say conside rably more than one-third of the whole amount shipped to Liverpool in April, 1842. Of this sum the products peculiar to the South, cotton, tobacco, rice, logwood and mahogany, brought $63,2%, or about two-thirds of the whole. The rest, with the exception of ashes (pot and pearl,) are all produced in this State. First flour, 2,200 barrels, §8,910. Our crops come in before those of the Northern States, and tnis is one great advantage. Second, na val stores, 450 barrel, $G4C. We can supply these. Third, lard. Fourth, rye 21,K5G bush els, $17,080. We have also wool, which can be supplied even now by Virginia to the extent here indicated (114 bales.) We are told that these are heavy goods, and that steamships cannot carry heavy goods be cause of the expense, &c. It is certain, how ever, that the exportation of heavy goods from New Yoik has enormously increased since the steamers came into full operation, and that if they have not carried them,they havestimu ated the transfer in some wav or other. At ihe same time, the English line has received enormous profits. Now, if the Antwerp line tan do the same ihing-that is, can stimulate rtct transportation, and make money at the aame tune that is all that can be desired.- ' l We ore pointed to the Uol iiritith t* H ° W ' BU PP° s e, that though the z'zzzrT'-™'™- "»■ » "bout the B«D.«nt.

We arc well aware that all we can say will be little avail. The Dryasdusts will cling to their ancient notions, and the roousers over lit tle schemes of their own, will not be convinc ed because it is not their interests to be *o.— But we cannot see this last hope of getting a ateam line lost forever, without entering our protest. ARTILLERY FOR THE MILLION. In the course of an article upon the subject of teaching our population the drill, &c., of soldiers, the New York Express takes occa sion to allude to the very meagre representa tion whish the artillery service has among our volunteer corps. It presses the propriety of having our people instructed in this branch of military tactics, as well as in those of intuntry and cavalry. We entirely agree with the Ex press. In our military drills this thing ought to be attended to. We should have the proper proportion of artillery in all military arrays, just as if we were going into war. There is no occasion to teach our people the use of fire urnis. They know it by instinct. Their fire can never be rivalled by European troops. — Even at Bladensburg, the militio, though just about to run, delivered a fire, which, General Ross told Mr. Skinner, if repeated twiee, would have sent any troops in the world to the right about. W 7 here they have practiced with can non, they fire equally as well. They ought to have an opportunity to practice it, for just at this time things look so squally that we can not tell when we may have a war. Our regu lar army is too small for any other purpose than to furnish officers and afford a nucleus for the yeomanry. It is upon these last that the issue of any great struggle must depend.— They should be trained, as citizen soldiery, in time of peace, so that a very little additional drilling might make them ready for the field in the event of war. We hope this matter will be looked into by our Legislature, when they have the militia laws up before them again. Napoleon says that battles hereafter must be decided by coups de canons, (blows of cannons,) as they were in the primitive ages, before the use of other weapons, by coups de poignes, (blows of the fist.) He himself made great use of, and im provements in. artillery. At the battle of Bo rodino, in seven hour?, the French fired 91,000 cannon shot, (13,000 an hour,) and at Leipsio; during the three days' battle, 150,000. So highly did he think of this arm, that he said there should be at least four pieces to every thousand men of an army; that is to say, an ar my of 10 000 should have 40 pieces, an army of 100,000, 400 pieces, <fcc. Great as were the improvements made in his time, they have been far exceeded in the present day. General Tay lor owed all his vic tories to the perfection of this arm. In the great battle of Grochovr, between the Poles and Russians, the former, with 97 pieces and -17,000 men, defeated the latter, 180,000 strong, with 400 pieces of artillery. The victory was owing, in a great measure, to the admirable management of the flying artillery. It made itself fully the equal of the enormous batteriea of the enemy. It flew about the field at full gallop, and was always ready to deliver its fire wherever it was needed. There are no such gunners in the world *s the Americans, as the naval battles of the last war, and their defence of positions prove.— Give them the chance to practice, we say. REIIUBUTION. The Petersburg Intelligencer, noticing the accession of Louis Napoleon to the throne of the French Empire, takes occasion to observe, that the Great Emperor himself, who divorced Josephine because she bore him no children, would have some strange feelings, could he rise from the dead and see his throne filled by the grand-son of the divorced wife, while his own eon by his second marriage sleeps far from France, in the tomb of the Hupsburgs. The reflection is indeed singular, and it proves that there is a "divinity which shapes our ends, rough-hew them as we may." The case of the descendants of Mary, Queen of Scots, is even more wonderful than this.— Her bloody rival —far more bloody than her sister, the cruel and bigoted Mar}' —who kept a grim array of three hundred heads, stricken off for treason during her reign, on London Bridge; including those of her near relation, thfl Duke of Norfolk, and her lover, Essex, and v as accustomed to exhibit them to foreign am bassadors in order that they might see "how ws serve traitors in England"—never dreamed, perhaps, that nearly three hundred years after her death those descendants would be seated on half the thrones of Europe. Yet such is at this day the fact. We had just fiuished the pe rusal of a very interesting review of Miss Strickland's life of the Queen of Scots, in Blackwood for November, when we came across this editorial, and were immediately struck With the resemblance, in this particular, in the fate of the two. nr the Ne.v York Express announces the death of Mr. Augustus Schell, chairman of the Democratic Genoral Committee, who was brutally assaulted by ruffians at Tamma ny Hall a short time since. The attention of tle Grand Jury of New York has been called to this case. Richard Wayne, democrat, has been elected mayor of Savannah. Stkamb«at Explosion.—We mentioned on Monuav that tne Keokuck packet steamer had burst her boiler near St. Louis, killing end wounding several persons. Capt. Johnson and Mr. Johns in, the clerk, wero instantly killed. The two engineers and the mate were severely injured. Oaptaiu Dean, whose death was mentioned on Monday, was of the firm ot Curson & Dean. He was conversing with the clerk when the accident occurred. The boat took fire and burned to the water's edge. The Secretary of State.—We learn that the nomination of lion. Edward Everett as Secretary of State was yesterday commu nicated to the Senate; and that the nomination was unanimously confirmed, at the instance ot distinguished gentlemen of both paries, without the usual formality of a day's delay and a reference to a committee. Union, Friday. Madame Bernard mu Adelaide V >n Polamen Campbell Van Doormick, for many years a well known resident cf New Vork, died at Bridgeport, Conn., on the 3d inst. Joseph G. Sprague, Esq., died at Salem Mass., 0 n the 4th instant. For nearly twen jv yeais he wa9 president of the Naumkeag LOCAL MATTERS.

The exhibit of receipts and disbursements within the year, from October 1,1851, to Sep tember 30, 1852, show a total of receipts o' $380,981 14, to which add the amount in hand' October 1,1851, of debts due to the company and monev, of $13,597 CC, makes a total of funds from ail sources of $394 578 80; dis bursements for the same period, including nd vances to contractors and debts due to the company, of $390,759 13, leaving a balance oi money in hand $3,819 G7.

Approptiaiion. —Mr. Giles ofiered the fol -1 jwing resolution : Resolved, That the President and Directors be end they are hereby authorized, should the Legislature of the State make any loan of mo ney to this company, or make any other pro vision by law for contributing means for the completion of its works, to uccept such law or proposition, and to give to the State a lien on the properly and income of this company, or on either, or on any part thereof, to secure the payment of the principal and interest of u:h loan; or to comply with any other condi tions, terms or stipulations which may be re quired; provided trie President and Directors should deem it advisable to do so. Adopted. loan.—Mr. Giles also offered a resolution authorizing the President and Directors, if they ihought it necessary, to borrow $100,000, to he appropriated to the completion of the works of the company and the procutenient of rolling ■tock and other furniture of tiie road, Raid amount to be legally provided for. The reso lution was adopted. Salary.—On motion, the IGth by-law was so amended as to give the clerk $1800 instead of $1400 salary per annum. Thanks —On motion of Mr. W. 11.

Adopted. Petition.—A petition was presented for the extension of the track of the road across Belle Isle to the North side of James River at the Tredegar Iron Works—signed by Anderson J» Souther, and others.

On motion, the following officers were elect ed for the ensuing; year: President —W. P. Tunstall. Vice President—A. F. D. Gifford. Messrs. Giflord and Jutnas C. Crane were unanimously clected Directors. The meeting then adjourned. DtsMißsF.D.—A charge of assault, preferred by Edward New against John Quill, alias Phelan, was, at the reqaest of the complainant, yesterday, dismissed by his Honor. A few days since, C. O. Burton engaged to haul a quantity of pig iron from Rocketts, for Joseph K. Anderson. A portion of the iron was removed Boon after the fresh, and some bars became scattered and covered up in the mud. Captain Peyton G. \V illiams, of the schooner George Washington, purchased a lot of loose iron from some negroes who were en gaged in cieauing the dock, and which had been given them by Mr. Lewis, a dock-master. This iron Capt. W. placed on board hit ves sel. Mr. Burton called to see it. claimed it as Mr. Anderson's iron lost in the mud, and tail ing lo get what he thought was his due, in the absence of the captain, procured a warrant for his an est on the charge of receiving, unlaw fully, 160U Ibe. of iron, the property of Mr. Anderson. A second warrant waa awarded, Mid executed on Thursday by officer Page — Iron waa found io the vessel, which Mr. Bur ton claimed ; and yesterday the Mayor heard the testimony in the case. 'The testimony proved that Mr. Burton had acted very hastily in bringing his"charge against Captain Wil liama—that the captain had purchased the iron lawfully—ibat the iron was not lying, when found by the negroee, where Mr. Anderson'a had been, and might not be Mr. A.'s—and the Mayor, of course, dismissed the case, the cap tain having been entirely exonerated. Persons should be careful how they male charge?, even impliedly, of receiving stolen goods ; and Mr. Burton slated yesterday, in Court, that he had acted on a misunderstand ing, and did not wish to injure the captain, but to procure the iron. Mr. Lewis also stated that the iron which he gave the negroes for their labor, had be en ly ing about the wharves for 12 months, not claimed, and in the way, covered with, mud and defaced. New Books.—We have received from J. W. Randolph, the Chevaliers of France, by H. W. Herbert. We learu that this is a very inter esting work.

West &■ Bro. we have received Walde Warren, a tale of circumstantial evi dence. Fink Chewing Tobacco.—Mr. O. A. Strecker sent us, yesterday, a fine sample of some very choice chewing tobacco raised by Mr. Robert Forgie, an eccentric and success ful planter, of Bedford county. It was put up by Dr. William P. Allison, of Lynchburg.— When we add that this tobacco cost $125 per lb. in the leaf—is the true "Forgie" brand — and is for sale by Mr. Strecker—we clearly in dicate its value and merit. Discharged.—Watchman Wasserman ar rested Mary Ann Cole, Thursday evening, in default of a register. Yesterday, promising to procure them on Monday, she was discharged. Without Pass.—John Allen, slave to R. & P. 11. 11. Co., arrested by Watchman Bibb, without a pass, yesterdny received 10 lashes.

At an early hour intbe day it was restored to its owner, a lady, who prized it highly. Where loet articles fall into honest hands, the Dispatch is the medium thrcush which they can be obtained.

Moore, we are obliged to defer until Monday Military.—The high'y disciplined end gentle manly cavalry corps of K.
