IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM OF VIRGINIA
Wo have heard a good deal of the " In
ternal Improvement Sydem" of Virginia,
bnt, except as a Utter piece of irony, can see
little "—'i to the phrase. Never was
there a State whleh waaso entirely guiltless
of every thing like "system" in her improve-
The only "system" upon which she
has practiced, haa been to begin every thing
sad complete nothing. All along her eastern
dlv Won will be found the beginnings of nn
finished railways, pointing to the west or
sooth-west, and ending in the woods. The
which she has scattered upon these
fragments of improvements, if they had been
ooßaolidated upon a" tyitsm," of Improve
ments, would long ago have connected her
with the waters of the Ohio, and placed her
treasury in a condition to construct less im
portant works of a merely sectional charac
ter. But railroads we not confined in Vir
ginia to the legitimate purposes of railroads.
The locomotive, instead of a bearer of bur
thens for the objects of commerce and trade,
becomes here a hobby for aspirants to ride
into office. There are not rails enough in
Virginia for all their hobbies to ride in har
mony, and the result is a general collision and
blocking up of the track, so that the Com
monwealth makes but slow progress.
There has been a great deal of discussion
about the proper gauge of the Covington
railroad, and the result seems to be that It is
better to lose a connection with the great Val
ley of the West, than to have a railroad
which is sot of a certain width. Plain, un
sophisticated minds might suppose that there
is scarcely importance enough in the differ
ence between 4 feet 8 1-2 and 5 feet gauge,
to warrant the arrest of our progress as a
State, and to paralyze and render profitless
every work which has been already con
structed. But it Is just that difference upon
which Virginia is splitting and making ready
to go to the bottom. Without entering again
into this vexed gauge question, we think it is
a great pity that some of the leaders in the
improvement camp of Virginia have not been
themselves constructed on a wide gauge.
At present, the track of their ideas is so nar
row, that it can scarcely accommodate any
thing larger than a small hand-car, in which
not more than one person can ride at a time.
It would be infinitely better for Virginia,
If the had never embarked a dollar in public
works, than, having expended millions upon
millions, to stop midway, and leave upon the
shoulders of her people a heavy load of tax
ation, with no hope of amelioration or relief.
NEWSPAPERS.
After being long in the newspaper world,
an editor must be very dull or very unsocial,
who does not form a tolerably intimate ac
quaintance with all the papers on his ex
change list. Chatting with them at his leis
ure every day of the week, he feels as if he
knew personally each of the editors, and
could draw a tolerably faithful portrait of
his moral and intellectual, if not his physi
cal features. We recollect, in our young
days, having been a frequent reader of the
N. Y. Star, and though we have never seen
Mqjor Noah, we believe that we formed as
accurate an idea of that gentleman,'one of
the most benevolent and kindly natures in
the world, as if we had known him personal
ly all our days. Regular authors, who sit down
to write books, may very well manage to
conceal their personality, or appear only in a
false and artificial guise. But it is next to
impossible for the editor, who is every day
talking with the public, and has no time to
writ for anything except that which comes
uppermost, to hide himself or appear other
than he is. Impulsive or cautious, modest
or self-conceited, courageous or time-serving,
warm-hearted and generous or cold and sto
lid, kind and forgiving or cynical and malig
nant, these men are seen by others in their
newspapers, as plainly as they see themselves
in their looking-glasses. Judging editors by
this standard, it would be diflicult for a man
to pass a morning hour among a more agree
able, well behaved and intelligent set of gen
tle men than the editors with whom we
ohat every day, through the medium of their
papers.
Editors improve in their social qualities,
become more tolerant to others, and less self
opinionated, as they obtain more experience
in their professions. The painful sense of
responsibility, which weighed upon them
when they entered the profession, wears off as
they discover that they are by no means car
rying the world on their shoulders, and that
though they are at perfect liberty to pitch
into anything and everything, it by no means
follows that anybody but themselves cares a
cepper what they pitch into. It is only when
the press acts as the organ of enlightened
public sentiment, that its power is at all for
midable.

COVINGTON AND OHIO RAILROAD
The bill to provide for the completion of
the Covington and Ohio Railroad, was yes
terday put in amendable form—the vote or
dering it to its engrossment hiring been re*
considered. What will now become of it, we
cannot undertake to predict Bat we confess
our astonishment that this improvement finds
itself in such a predicament as it iB made to'
occupy. There are not thirty members of
the House of Delegates opposed to the scheme
of the building of a Railroad from the head
of the Canal to the Ohio River, and yet a bill
to provide for the prosecution of such a Road,
has twice failed to obtain a constitutional
vote to secure ita adaption. Why is this?—
We shall not now undertake to explain. The
state of the Internal Improvement cause is
indeed greatly to be deplored. Whether
there is anything better and more cheering
in store for the State, during the brief rem
nant of the session, remains to be seen. We
trust there is; but the signs are just now very
discouraging.
We consider that Virginia is so far com
mitted to this Road, that, in the opinions and
convictions of onr people, nay of the whole
Union, it is so completely a part of her poli
cy, as that to abandon it or even to halt in
its execution, would be to stultify herself and
to excite general distrust as to both her en
ergy and wisdom to plan and execute any
scheme of improvement whatever designed
for her commercial advancement. Her pub
lic credit, as well as her public character,
would be seriously affected in the estimation
of the world. We trust that to such a com
plexion her affairs are not to be reduced.

LOCAL MATTERS
? EW Hotrt*.—Whatover
oe nq down, and a new one of some sort be wect
«H In in place. The plan lately submitted to the
Council by the City Engineer may be too costly,
and for that reason we are not dispoaed to find fault
with the Council for recommitting the report to the
committee by whom it was presented, with instruc
tions to have a different plan prepared; bat we in
sist upon it that a new building is necessary and
Aoold be put up at once. By changing the plan so
as to have the market house but one story high, it
strike# us that a neat, plain edifice, perfectly com
fortable and admirably adapted to the purposes for
which it is intended, can be bailt for ten or twelve
thousand dollars, and if the Engineer succeeds in
draughting a plan that will answer all purposes,
and can be carried out for that amount, we have
very little doubt that the Council will appropriate
the money. The present building is a disgrace to the
city, and should be token down by all mean*. Tot
tering to one side like a.drunken man, and resem
bling in appearance a mash trap, the Grand Jury
might well indict it as a nuisance, and have it de
molished, for the benefit of the city.
Flash in the Pan.—Dr. C. B. Brainerd
appeared before the Mayor yesterday to answer a
charge preferred against him of selling goods,
wares and merchandise and practicing medicine,
without having first obtained licenses for so doing.
Dr. Brainerd, our readers will remember, delivered
one or two public lectures in this city tome lew
weeks since, on diseases of the eye, during which
he announced himself to be in possession of a dis
covery by which near and far-eightednetg, inflam
mation, and even total blindness, had been cured,
and offered his services to those afflicted with dis
eased eyes, to cure them. In consequence of this
announcement a large number of persons called on
him to test his new theory, and many of them, af
ter having the cups applied, declared themselves
cured or relieved. The only remedy used by the
Doctor was the application of gutta perch a cups to
the eyes, and whenever a patient pronounced him
self well or benefitted, a fee was charged and a pair
of the cups furnished, with directions for their use.
If he has ever administered any medicine, we have
never heard of it.
When the case waa called, Miss Eliza Heath,
who had been introduced by Dr. James Bolton, aa
a Commonwealth's witness, failed to answer. The
cause, however, progressed, and Messrs. Zachris
•on and Spence were examined on oath. Neither
of these gentlemen bad ever known the accused to
sell his cups, though Mr. Spence had heard of n
gentleman who had purchased a pair.
Col. August, the counsel for Dr. Brainerd, stat£
that if the Mayor was of the opinion that his client
should take out a license as a physician, he was
ready and willing to do so at once. He had no de
sire to defraud the Commonwealth of any portion
of its revenue, for his object was to act justly and
honorablv in his business. He deemed it proper to
say that Dr. Brainerd was of the opinion that the
State had no right to tax him, he being the assignee
of the patentee, and Congress having given the
patentee the exclusive right to vend his patented
goods. This question, Col. A. ssiJ, was a novel one
to him, and he was, therefore, not prepared to gay
whether or not the view of the law of Congress, as
taken by Dr. Brainerd, was correct. If, however,
the Mayor would say that Dr. B. ought to take out
a license, it should be done at once.
The Mayor wag of the opinion that Dr. Brainerd
should be taxed, but as the Legislature had fixed no
penalty to be imposed upon"medical gentlemen,
who failed to procure a licence—at least no penalty
that he had been able to dicover—he would not
give an opinion to compel the Doctor ta pay that
tax, -until tie had examined the subject more tho
roughly. So far as the law of Congress was con
cerned, the Mayor's opinions were very decided. —
Congress certainly had the right to protect a paten
tee irom all infringements, but he did not conceive
that Congress had the power to say that a State
should not tax the vending ol the articles patented.
In view of the fact that he had been unable to dis
cover any law imposing a penalty on a physician for
failing to obtain a license, he would dismiss the
warrant.
Hustings Court.—Aldermeu Inloes,
Bray, Tyrer, Wingfield, and Merritt, presiding.—
The first case set to the bar was that of Frank and
Tom Dunn, two slaves, charged with larceny, in
stealing $32 in money from George C. Layne, on
the liith of December last. The evidence was of
the most conclusive character, a portion of the mo
ney being found on each of them, and the Court
found them guilty, and directed that they should
each receive 39 stripes.
The second case was Jacob, a negro boy about
nine years old, slave to 11. W. Moncure, charged
with stealing $30 in money from David Cogbill, on
the 7th inst. The Court found the prisoner guilty,
but in consideration of his extreme youth, ordered
that he shouM receive ten stripes with a switch.
The third case was that of Elizabeth, slave to
Thomas (J. Burton, charged with setting fire to
Mrs. Sarah Chamberlane's house, on Broad street,
the circumstances of which are familiar to our read
ers. After hearing the evidence, and argument of
counsel, the Court decided the prisoner should be
acquitted—Messrs. Inloes and Merritt voting that
she was nut guilty, and Messrs. Wingfield, Bray,
and Tyrer, voting that she wa» guilty of the offence
charged against her.
The Grand Jury, after a session of three hours,
came into Court and found true bills of indictments
for misdemeanors, against the following persons:
Timothy Collins, Jeremiah Downs, Michael Lany,
and Patrick Wilhelm, (for a violent assault upon
JacobS. Atlee,; Thomas H. Keeling, (two cases,)
Wilson Coutte. John Smith, William Fordham, Jo
seph Birch. John Kennedy, Augustus Wilkerson,
John Peasley, Augustus S. Thrilt, William Lewis,
Catharine Garrabaldi, William McDowell, James
Norland, Patrick Martin, Theodorick Nunally, Jno
King, William Morris, and James A. Harris.
The Grand Jury likewise presented John Vines,
a free negro, for remaining in the Commonwealth
contrary to law:
Against Daniel Brady and Simon Coffee, the Jury
brought in not true bills, and Brady being in custo
dy, was discharged by order of the Court.
The Court, after hearing the orders of the day
read, adjourned until 11 o'clock this morning.
A Hardship.—A resolution was offered
at tlWast meeting of the City Council, or rather
an ordinance was reported, compelling the officers
and the privates of the night Watch to reside in the
city, but was recommitted to the committee in
which it emanated to be further considered and
reported on. We understand that the Captniu
(who resides within one hundred yards ot the
corporation line, and not more than six or eight
squares from the cage) and lour of the privates,
only, live beyond the corporation, and as most, if
not all ot these five persons owned the property on
which they live, and are good and faithtui men,
we sincerely hope the Council will take no steps to
compel them to bre»k up, or resign their places.—
As a general rale, it is proper that the officers of
the city should live within its limits and aid in de
fraying its expenses ; but where cases occur like
these, the exception should be made and now that
the subject has been recommitted, we have reasons
to believe that the Committee on Police will report
in favor of granting the five men just alluded to,
the privilege of residing where they are, as long as
they may find it to their interests to do so, and the
Council will unanimously coLflim the recommen
dation.
The Burglars.—Officer Truehart has re
turned from Petersburg, having delivered into the
hands of the officers ot that city Wine held Hutcher,
a penitentiary convict, who was arrested in this
city on Sunday morning last, charged with burgla
riously entering the clothing store of T. W. Roys
ton, and stealing therefrom 91200 worth of goods
last Saturday night. From information riven by
Butcher, while in custody ,we understand that the
greater portion of the stolen goods have been re
covered; and that one of his accomplices in guilt.
Bob E van#, a free fellow, and also a penitentiary
bird, has been captured and confined.
Through the instrumentality of Mrs. Harris, si
this city, who is a poor woman, Mr. Eoyston has re
covered his property, and the city ot Petersburg
has been relieved from the depredations of two
vary (dangerous characters. Under these circum
stances, would it not be ju»t and proper to present
to this lady some token of acknowledgment for her
conduct—some small reward for her valuable ser
viced We think so, and hope it will be done at
oace.
Violent Assault.—James Norland and
Patrick Martin, charged with assaulting and beat
ing Thomas Cregan on Monday night last, were ar
raigned before the Mayor yesterday, examined and
convicted, and in addkion to being held to bail for
their future good behaviour, were recognized to
appear before the Hustings Court to answer a bill
of indictment to be preferred by the Grand Jury
against them for the asaault
Fighting.—John T. Hantftk was called
before the Mayor yesterday, to answer tor assault
ing: Richard Sales, oa the 13th inst, and for noisy
and disorderly conduct in E. L. Currier's home,
but owing to the absence of witnesses the examina

Mr. R. Stakajuj, jr„ presented the Boquet, op

The Company were then invited to partake of an

marking that the ladies exhibited great taste and
skill in preparing a Boquet forthat Company, whom
we know will appreciated most highly.
Prolific.—We understand that Mrs.
Robert Armstrong, wife of an admirable mechanic
and most worthy gentleman, who is now employed
at the Richmond Foundry, presented her husband,
yesterday morning, with three young responsibili
ties —two girls and a boy—all of whom were doing
well when we heard from them last night. It Mrs.
A. does not receive a complimentary notice, at the
hands of the General Assembly, now in session,
we shall conclude that that body has but little care
for the increase of population of old Virginia.
Sent on.—Patrick Wilhelm, charged
with being engaged in the late violent assault upon
Jacob 8. Atlee, was sent on to the Hustings Court
to answer a bill of indictment by the Grand Jury,
for the same.

From the Herald.
A WORD ABOUT THE DRAMA—MB. COULDOCK Hi
Utica.—lt rejoices us to learn, as we are sure it
will hundreds of others, that Mr. Couldock, the em
inent English tragedian, has been engaged and will
appear this evenfng. The character he has select
ed for his first appearance is that of "Richelieu," in
Bulwer's great drama of that name—a character as
well fitted perhaps as any other for the display of
his peculiar excellences. Any words that we can
use will be quite inadequate to express our appre
ciation of this gentleman's merits as an actor. All
excellence is relative, and we can perhaps in no
other way so well express our admiration of him
as by comparing him with other artists of renown.
That in purity and chasteness of style, in force and
elegance of expression, in rigorou? fidelity to na
ture, and yet in consonancy with the severest ca
nons of art, he immeasurably exeels any actor we
have heard, we have no diffidence in asserting.—
He ia the only actor within the range of our expe
rience, who deserving, is able to succeed without
and in spite of the miserable clap-trap ot the stage.
Never in a single instance do we remember him to
have sacrificed nature to a perverted stage art;
though we do remember him to have failed more
than once in electrifying the pit because |he would
neither roar like a mad bull, nor make faces like an
ape.
With a tew eminent artists like Mr. Cooldock,
the stage might be so reformed that even the fas
tidiousness of the chuch might be reasonably over
come. If the spirit which he carries upon the
stage prevailed in our theatres, good men would
have little cause to bewail its ruinous tendencies.—
Then the •' legitimate drama" would cease to be de
nounced as a scourge by the pulpit, or looked upon
with surprise by the friends of morality. I'htn
we should be rid of the miserable ribaldry 'and
loose buffoonery which is becoming the reproach
and disgrace of the stage.
We would go and hear Couldock for the samp
reason that we would go and hear Sontag or Jenny
Lind—to hear a priest of ait discourse upon soul
inspiring themes. We should haveas littlepreju
dice against the one as the other; and as readily
forgive the questionable concomitants of the one
as of the other. The Historian Art is among the high
est, noblest, as it is among the most venerable of
the sisterhood of Arts. Directly and indirectly it
has enlisted the talents and absorbed the lives of
the noblest intellects the world ever saw. With
the great names of Shakspeare, Milton, Addison,
Goldsmith, Johnson and Goethe, among the devot
ed contributes to that Art, wemu3t ignore and de
nounce it under a fearful protest.
We do hope to witness the presence during the
engagement of Mr. Couldock of a class of Uticani
ans who do not very much frequent theatrical en
tertainments. Weaskthem to go, not ps theatre
goers, but as the patrons and disciples of Art. We
know they will go away with the conviction irresis
tably fastened upon them that theatrical entertain
ments are not necessarily and at all times degrad
ing in their tendencies. We write what we honestly
and earnestly feel and believe. It has never been our
fortune to exchange one word with Mr. Couldock.
We never may. We recognize in him only the
Artist—only the interpreter of dramatic genius.—
Our readers will agree with us that we have not
written much in the way of "puffery" of late. We
do not intend to be very extensively guilty in the
future. Of much that passes for "drama'ic enter
tainment" we have no very high reverence; nor
shall we express more than we feel.
