Wr hope that llicte 11 no necessity (ol ui ,Q tliy I l|,:" "• r,re »■'"> and decided fticndsol internal im prorvment. We know indeed that we base been ra ,l" r sneered ai as enthusiastic, if not half-mad, tn, ihai hi*hjeet. There >« just a* little necessity. we pre. - mute, that »e should make any protestations of our anxiety for the prompt and speedy .. the great central line, until the lone-talked i f marriage ; between tin Ohio and the Jatt.es shall le cntisuni mated—Ol that we hare furnisheil too many eviden ce* to admit of cavil at this time of day. Wears j earnest trim Is ol internal nnprovenieul in genetal, | aml »f 'he James River and Kanawha Improvement j tn particular. But as we have always declared, wc ate for judicious schemes,judiciously prosecuted. \ U t ate tint in favor ol tweaking down the system by its oat) weight. U e li.d 'atlier watt a lew months, than | lecipitatelv tn pttslt it on, uudercitcutmtances well calt-uhiied loexcie popular displeasure. Ths opinion, which we have Ititherto expressed, that the Hoard ot Directors of the Janies River and Ka nawha Company ought not, under existing circum i stances, to hive let out theconlisctsbevond Lvuch I liurg, is In no means aOVcted by tlies fact, that they j have let them out.* And we reiterate this opinion, with all due thfeiencc to the views ol the members of j that Huatd, who, having surveyed the whole ground, I may be presumed lobe bittei qnalltfied to determine a question ol ihis character than our humble selvis, who have had ueiiher chart nor compass in our hands. W c tliu.k tt would have been better to have awaited the correction of the rx sting peruuiarv derange ment, than tn push f wward the work. ttr a point, which, when it reaches that point, no object of im poitatice is attained, by inruns of a forced loan, paid out lo the contractors tn a medium from 1U to 14 per cent, lelow par ! It is sa d that the contracts have been made at rates as low as those below Lynclibilig, which wete | aid for in a par curtency. Admit it, and what does it pr ve ? Either that the contrac tors have been heretofore paid too much, or (which » C suppose to be the fact,) the wages of labor and the price ul provisions are lower than they w ete w hen the contracts below Lynchburg were made. Wehtqie that ti e advocates of the policy which we protest a eaiust, do t ot suppose that the public mind is so obtuse and stuhilied ns not tn le able to perceive that the rnniracloii, wh.ikuuw that they are In he paid fur their wotk in a cut r nry below par, w ill nut add t s probable drpieciation to t e prices « Licit thry de mand lor their laboi—in oltcr words, that, if they ate lo he paid in the Company's set ip, they will nut charge in their contracts the difference between ilie value of that sciip and bank notes at par. And. we repeat, it ia a grave question, whether the State, as a stockholder in that Company, or the oth-n holders of slock, should consent to pay this addition*! price, when the object to he attained is ccimpntatfvHy worthies*. I'm, id wliat value, hi the way n| au'di tional ietenu«‘, will be the ('anal from Lynchburg to North river/ How much trade will it pour upon the line, after the Canal betw.cn those points shall have been completed, moie than it will roniiil ute in the existing state of the navigation ? Will u pay; interest upon the cost of conduction ! Will it pay one cent ? We do not believe it will. Again: Even if it were expedient, under existing ciicumsiam cs, to enter into these contracts, within any short period, would it not secin to have been the part of true policy grid w isdom to h ive awaited the meeting ol the stockholders, winch lakes place about the middle ol December, sod to have ascertained their w ish *s on the subject, before the deed was consummated ? Does it nut look like an attempt to foicstull their opini *n and to eouird their decision, when, within four weeks of the day fixed for their general meeting, these contracts weie | rccipitately made ? It snikes us. that, whether that was the purpose of the James R*v. r and Kanawha Bo aid or not, that w ill be die universal, because it is the only rational solution ol their ** hoi haste.'* And besides, at n time like this, when the money inaiket, .4)load and at I nine, is filled to repletion with stocks i l Mtiy hue and grade—when the best Slate stocks even are at i discount of 10 per cent, what f hope is there that money tan be raised, bv loan, to cany on the wink beyond North river, to;, point which will invite additional trade to the Canal ? We have deem (1 it necessary to say thus much in de fence of our opinions. We tegrei that tins necessi «y has been imposed upon up. But as friends to the system ol internal improvement, ami to the great ceil* tiul line, ti e completion of which we most earnestly desire, we have IcJl ourselves called upon to protest against a policy, calculated, we verily believe, to raise up a host of enemies both to that wotk and to the sy stem in general. W e shall shortly, however, we presume, be placed in possession of the reasons by which the Board were influenced in this movement, in the Annual Report of its presiding officer. We shall he prepared to give (hose reasons a dispassion ate and unprejudiced consideration. And if they *h II he of sue h a character vs to satisfy us of the error ol our present views, we shall permit no pride of opin ion to induce us to hesitate (or a niomeut in retract ing them, and confessing our error. One word mote. 11.trusted motives mny be irn- ' puled to ns—nay, lltey have already been. It is sid, that we den re to stop the (’apal here. We deny it. If, indeed, this gteat wotk is to be arrested at any point beyond that originally contemplated, then indeed we.ire in favor of stopping it lure—be cause we are satisfied, that its stoppage at any idler mediate point between Lynchburg and the Ohio river would be most pernicious to the interests ol the Com pany itself—iinsiu'icli as t lie additional trade lobe gathered from its borders would not justify the ex pense of ns coos i notion. No. We ate for push- , mg it forward wwh »U possible energy. Hut we learned, w I en we wer- younger than we are now, to look before we leap—and, in the present condition ol • he moneyed market, we think it not unsuitable to remind the .1 lines Rivet and Kanawha Board that thece is sound p I icy ad true wisdom in that o’d ad ag»*. * We have been informed, since tins article wns in tvpc, that the control teputcred into bare, have b en made, subject to the ratification of u PiibHeqiiPiil BquiiI, which is to meet in Richmond about u fortnight lienee.

None but they who knew him intimately, could fully appreciate his peculiar excellencies, lor pope but they could fcnpw what tender and affect inn ate feelings, what warm sympathies, what noble gen erus ty dwelt concealed under a manner naturally reserved, not to say at limes cold and nunterr. His intellect was one ol die highest ord» r, and the stan dard of his moral ptinciples of the most elevated character. In his reasoning upon all subjects lie whs distinguished for his diligent search alter, and quick and clear perception ofthetruth. His infor mation upon general subjects was rather accurate than extensive, and was founded more upon Ins own observation ot men and things as they moved and passed before him. than upon the r tudy ol books. H is opinions were generally fr.md upon mature reflection, aqd he was always firm in main taining them, independent and fearless in the expres sion ot them, sod ►low to absndori them.
