* Messrs. B. M. Jobeb, L> E. Habmb aad
T«oa. H. CaatrunM. wersvla February tost, ap
pointed by n meeting of the Presidents of sev
•rat railroad companies a committee to re
port upon the subject of the manufacture of
railroad Iron, locomotives, curs, and other
supplies for railroads, la the South. At n anb
eequent meeting of the officers, the committee
presented a report, which was adopted, and
which haa been published. The report as
sumes that the Southern States, exclusive of
Maryland, have epent •7u,0fJ0,000 for the con
sti action nnd equipment of railroads now In
'",, operation, and that Virginia alone has spent
' » *it,o(BVrJjo, all of which has been drawn from
•arthe slaveholding States, and seat to enrich
tHote whose hostility to the South has been
growing nnd increasing annually. The report
further says that there drhst continue to be
sent from Virginia gl,OtNi,ouu per annnm.and
from the other slave States K,MH>,<)OO per an
num for years to corns. 11 con tends that this
large supply can be furnished in the South
easily and successfully, and under many ad
vantages. Richmond is pointed out as possess
lag greater advantages for rolling and re
rolling rails than any other place in Virginia,
because It has facilities of obtaining iron ore
from the James River and Kanawha Canal,
which has developed Immense beds of ore, and
also from some of the railroads, where ore has
been found in large quantities, and a large
furnace only a short distance from the city
is soon to go into tbe operation of manufac
turing pig iron; because coal is convenient iv
any quantity; because it is accessible to the
lilies of roads in this State and those connect
ing with other Southern States, and because it
haa the advantage of water communication
with the sea. The cost of rails here allowing
reasonable profits, tbe report assumes, would
be not more than *5c per ton, while tbe ave
rage price of English rail from '48 to '£> was
«55 per ton, it having in that time varied from
Sin to 370. During the same period, the ave
rage in this country was $57.79. The report
says that there is a diversity of opinion about
the quality of English iron and its durability
on roads. But it is assumed that if the manu
facture of railroad iron to order were to take
place under the eye of the officers of rail
roads ordering it, there would be a great deal
gaiued in the faithfulness and durtfbility of
tbe work, so as to much more than counter
balance any small difference there might be in
tbe price. It is further contended that there
would be un immense saving in the mere mat
ter of freight of old iron sent off to be re
rolled.
It is suggested that a large establishment
might be founded in Richmond by the joint
subscriptions of railroad companies and indi
viduals. Such a manufactory, It ia urged, will
turn out well for the interest of all concerned
doing good work under the supervision of the
roads ordering it, ar.d retaining our capital at
home, instead of sending it abroad. Tbe com
mittee state that an establishment similar to
this is in operation at Atlanta, Georgia, and a
competent railroad manager thinks it is turn,
ing out a better rail than he has ever seen.
The report concludes with resolutions in
accordance witb tbe views of tbe committee
declaring that it is the interest of tbe Virginia
and Southern roads to found a first-class
manufactory here—that they should combine
for the purpose of establishing and sustaining
it—aud that the consent of the Legislature be
obtained for such an enterprise.
The Flour Inspection Bill.
We have seen no more striking illustration
of the inconsistencies in which our political
economists often involve themselves than the
strenuous opposition made by some ef the
warmest advocates of a direct foreign trade
to tbe bill amending the Flour Inspection Law
which passed tbe House of Delegates on Fri
day. The present inspection law, in effect
probibiU the exportation of tbe lower grades'
ef flour from James river. They cannot come
into competition with similar flour shipped
from Northern markets, because the standard
of bur inspection is higher than theirs, and
our flour of the some grades will be marked
with lower brands. Therefore, all of this de.
scription of flour intended for certain markets
that leaves James river, must be transported
coastwise to be re-inspected and re-branded in
n Northern city! Our millers and shippers
have implored relief for years from this hard
ship. They have offered to pay the inspector's
fee if they were allowed to ship their flour
without his brand; but that was refused. It
would have been a concession fatal to tbe per
quisites of office, and could not be made!—
We were unable last winter to load the first
ship of the Richmond and Liverpool line with
a cargo that was destined for England, for
the reason above stated. And yet the advo
cates of direct trade oppose a reformation, the
propriety of which is so obvious, and cling to
a law which throws our trade, of necessity,
into the hands of Northern shippers!
Surprising as it was that a change to allow
shippers the option of inspecting or not the
flour they were about to ship to foreign porU
coold meet wish opposition, it was still more
surprising that it should encounter any hos
tility In tbe very qualified form in which this
option is presented in the bill, viz: that it
shall only be extended to those shipping flour
on vessels four-fifths of which are owned by citi
ztns of Virginia. Yet the bill had only a ma
jority of twelve in tbe House—o3 to 51. Will
Virginia never surrender iv old-prejudices on
subjects relating to trade and commerce I
The Senate now has tbe bill before it.
The James River Company.
The passage of the bill converting the
debt due the Commonwealth by the James
River and Kanawha Company, into stock
relieving it from the debt to tbe old
James River Company and providing both
for the continuation of the canal to Covington
and the improvement of the navigation of the
Kanawha, inspires the friends of improve
ment and those who view our commercial
Inter,oto In proper light with new hopes. All

Ba justified tbe apprehension of its ultimate pas

»n- business community everywhere In the State
In 0 f the most painfnl anxiety,
tut j D e question is now decided, and tbe mer
»• chants have nothing worse to fear than tbe
en continuation of ths heavy Impositions to
en which they are already subjected—the paying
,rt of live dollars to one paid by capital in agri
°" cultural pursuits; but they are ready at pre
nd sent to acqniesce in them, rather than bear
n ; burthens that would be disastrous to their
--** business. Thsy yet hope that tbe day is not
10 distant when their fellow-citizens will ac
** a knowledge the odious and unjnst character of
'*' the discrimination wbicb subjects them to
re * taxation under thegnise of licensing their pur
**- suits, (!) out of all proportion to that Imposed
,r * upon other people, and relieve them both from
al * the odium of the form and ths excessive
ud amount of the burthens imposed upon them. In
ia * no way could Virginia better advance her com
*■*• mercial interests and increase her sources of
W revenue. Much better were it for her that she
• c * added to her treasury from increased com
* n merce and wealth than from increasing the
**- c burthens on her merchants, thus crippling
-** their energies and tripping them in their race
il with their powerful competitors of the North
■■ crn cities.
Jlt The Greut Breuch of Promise Case.
The celebrated suit of Basdkll vs. Pick
* wick fades into insignificance by the great
im breach of promise case, Cabstano vs. Shaw,
tbe second trial of which has lately taken
place in St. Louis. The deceived and deserted
lady is a little over thirty years of age; the
wicked and heartless defendant has upon his
hoary head the snows of sixty winters. The
~ jury upon the first trial assessed tbe damage
to the fair plaintiff at tbe good round sum of
' one hundred thousand dollars. Itis awful to
think of one old man being capable of a hun
dred thousand dollars worth of moral delin
. * quency. However, he is said to be able to af
-11 ford it, or ten times that amount, and still have
** a handsome fortune left. Under thesecircum
* stances, it shows unspeakable meanness and
obstinacy in refusing to submit to the assess
meut of the first jury, and availing himself of
llt a legal informality to compel his injured vic
nt tim to make a fiesh exhibit of her wounded
'* pride and betrayed confidence. We can easily
■" imagiue the exquisite horror which a delicate
'•• lady must endure in Laying bare to the world
10 the secret wounds of her heart, even though
at that only means of applying to them
a - the healing balm of exemplary damages. What
to must we think of the veteran delinquent who
a compels her again and again to repeat the sto
il- ry of ber wrongs, instead of parting prompt
ly and gracefully with the small sum at which
in an intelligent and high-minded jury of his
c peers has affixed the value of his attentions >
ia Mr. Shaw ought to feel himself compliment
ss ed by that verdict. Let us hope that Miss
le Cakstas.i will persist in helping him to form
ig a proper estimate of himself, and encourage
ie her sex, in every case of breach of promise, to
find consolation and vengeance in a suit for
damages.
* The Legislature.
n The Senate on Saturday adopted the joint
11 resolutions introduced into the House, in re
** spouse to certain resolutions voted for by the
"* Democratic members of the Ohio Legislature,
recently communicated by Gov. Letcheb —
N A bill was introduced for granting a pension
to the widow of Thomas Biulky, (who was
'» killed at Harper's Ferry by John Brown's
s party.) A substitute was offered for the bill
9 "to encourage direct trade," (which came from
d the House,) and it was made the order of the
*- day for Monday (to-day.) The Senate struck
** out of House bill "imposing taxes for tbe sup
-1 port of government" the one per cent, tax on
* the sales of merchants. The vote stood 33
1 ayes to 9 nays. The bill will be further con
-1 sidered to-day.
1 The House passed a number of acts of incor
-1 poration; also a bill allowing a pension to
" Geo. W. Richardson, of Martiusburg, wbo '
* was wounded at Harper's Ferry. A resolu
r tion was passed requesting the Governor to
1 communicate the co6t of guarding Steven*- '
* and Hazlktt till the time of their execution.
The bij' prescribing the duties of Commis
sioners of Revenue was debated and final ac- (
\ tion postponed until to-day. <
Emigration. i
» Tbe falling off in European emigration to >
i the United States has given rise to much spec
, ulation in the Northern papers. That from ]
Ireland is accounted for by the fact that the
' demands of agriculture, created by two divl- ..
i sions of large estates into small holdings, ef- c
i fected by the Encumbered Estates act, have
) absorbed nearly all tbe surplus bands wbo 1
■ formerly fed tbe stream of emigration to this l
i country. In Germany, the troubled aspect of
I the times has compelled the maintenance of .
armies and military contingents on a large
scale, and these have also absorbed a large pro- 1
portion of the unemployed agricultural pop- J
ulation.

me of the Murderer. ~A teleprasaaic dhtpatch from
W Hrovidence, R. 1., nnnouncea the arrest there
it of Alfred W. Mhshs, the alleged murderer of
ad Chpt. Burr ami the crew of the oyster sloop
us*. E.A.Johnson. The mnu, with his wife and
«c child, had arrl vetl ih Providence that day, and
tat taken board In a retired part of tbe city for bis
of wife and child, lie sailed with Capt. Bnrr
in under the name of "Wm. Johnson." Tbe
►of Herald describes the manner In which he was
v. tracked after the tragedy:
ly It wan about daylight on Wedneaday morn
it ing when a stranger, about 35 years of nge—
A * apparently a sailor, dressed In a pea jacket, a
gray colored pair ef pantaloons and an old
•*-" Kossuth hat—came ashore at Staten Island in
st* n yawl boat, witb tbe intention of taking the
ha ferry boat for New York. Tbs stranger was
, first observed at Vanderbilt landing, where hs
arrived a few minutes too late to take the six
o'clock boat. He had a large bag in his hand,
•r- which he said contained bis clothing and mo
be ney. While waiting at the landing for tbe
, seven o'cloch boat, he col into conversation
with Mr. Egbert, tbe dock master, and request
n g ed to be directed to some place where be conld
ri- get some oysters. Hs was directed to tbe sit
•„. loon of Mr. Van Felt, in tbe neighborhood,
where he drank two glasses of liquor aud ate
an oyster stew. He seemed very flush with
■ir his money, refusing to take the change that
ot was coming to him, and offering one of
c . the waiters in the saloon a piece of gold
. coin. He expressed himself sorry at not
01 catching tbe six o'clock boat, as he was In
to a great hurry, be said*, to reach the city
r- At seven o'clock he wen ton board tbe South
,4 field, where he made the acquaintance of one
of the deck hands, and related that he was a
m shipwrecked sailor. He appeared quite com
•'* municative, and stated that be was the only
[n survivor ot the sloop William Tell, which
q. had been sunk that morning by coming in col
lision witb a schooner. The captain, be said,
01 had been killed outright by the bowsprit
ie striking bim in the abdomen; but what become
a- of the rest of the crew be did not know. He
]c said he had just time to jump into the yawl
boat, with his clothes and money, when the
-** sloop stink. While relating the story ol bis
se misfortunes be produced a bag of money, and
j. requested the deck hand to help bim count it
over, as be was afraid some one had been
cheating him. The money consisted of gold
and silver coin, and, to the best of the deck
. bund's recollection, the bag contained about
$500.
Uefore tin* counting of the money could be
v, concluded, the Southfield arrived at the Bat
in tery, and the stranger gathering up his money,
l( l left the boat, with the intention, he said, of
seeing if something: could not be done towards
ie raising the sloop. From the Battery the police
is traced the stranger to 139 Cedar street, where
, P he met his wife and child, the latter about ten
years of age. Here the officers ascertrined that
* the strangers name was no other than Wil
)I liam Johnson, the mate of the ill-fated sloop,
o and a ray of light, bright as tbe sun, at once
~ was shed upon the dark aud mysterious case
they had under examination. From some per
sons residing in the house the detectives
'- learned, that immediately after his arrival in
c this city, Johnson proceeded to a barber's shop
t . and had his face shaved and hair cut, for the
purpose, no doubt, of disguising himself, and
■ that alter packing up some trunks, he pro
•• ceeded on beard the Stonington boat, and en
>f gaged a state-room for himself and family.

jf •i 5» TO THE VOTERS OF THE CITY
t»**--3. OF RICHMOND.-Anion*- the candi
dates for the otrice of HIGH CONSTABLE for
this city, I notice the name of our young and
much esteemed deputy City Collector. JOHN H.
McCURDEY. I have known Mr. hfeC. from
his early boyhood, and have observed his course
up to the present time. Ido not know, nor have I
ever heard, anything derogatory to his moral
character. There is no man better qualified for
that trajtv and important office than JOHN. H.
McCURDEY. His humane and gentlemanly bear
ing justly entitles him to the confidence of hie
fellow-citizens—always prompt in his pecuniary
engagements, and always read* to render that
even handed justice to all. Such a man is worthy
of the suttragesof the people-he is emphatically
the people's candidate, and he will, should he lie
elected HIGH CONSTABLE of this city, prove
hn.-iself fully upto the Jeft'ersomanstandard. "Ishe
honest?" f 'ls he capable.'" "Is he faithful r"—
To all of these let the sovereign people respond at
the polls on the 4th day of April next, by giv
ing their support and sun-rases to JOHN H. Mr-
CL'RDEY for HIGH CONSTABLE of the eit* of
Richmond. Imh i!6-lt| AN OLD CITIZEN.
