aij-hmendaad ber Railroad Csaaectisas
1 dTrert 4 ennectlea with tbe Mississippi
Valley. , __
One of the grandest mistakes ever made by
•roar, ts tbe plausible but fallacious idea that
natural advantages are all that ta necessary
tor the growth aad prosperity of a communi
ty On the contrary, all history and experience
proclaim, with one voice, thai among commu
nities as wsll sa indivtdusla. it dependa epou
the man, rather than the circumstances by
■which he is surrounded, whether be shall con
quer or oe conquered in tbe great battle of life,
j u»t as tbs sou of s usbob is more likely to be
paralysed by tbe vastness of his inheritance
than inspired to new efforts to multiply hie
wealth, ao a commanity, -leased by nature
with every advantage of climate and locality,
is as often sasrvaied as invigorated by the
~tenitude ef ita resources, and, instead of ful
filling the promise of iv youth, is cast into
the shade by some obscure but adventurous ri
val, whose terveaad muscle are only strength
ened by opposition, wboss energy ia more cre
ative than the hoards of timid capitalists, and
whose faith ia itself and its future can re
move mountains.
It is unnecessary to meution all th. name*
of cities tbat illustrate ths notorioua.fact of
which we speak. Tabe the map and Hook at
the various marts of induatry and commerce
in the United States, aud then decide whether
it ia those regions moat favored by nature iv
which the greatest amount of prosperity is
found. Ons of ta. most remarkable examples
of what energy and enterprise can accomplish
is the city of Baltimore, which has no such
natural advantages as Richmond, which has a
miserable harbor, requiriugconstautdredging
but which has become the third city in the
Union. Baltimore builds a railroad of four
hundred miles, a railroad through and across
the Ainvncau Alps, ihe most difficult and ex
traoruinary achievement of the kiud iv tbe
world, simply to teacn tbe great Valley of tbe
Ohio and yet, Ricumond is at this moment
siumberiug in ihe most profound aud death
like stupor over an opportunity which has
iwai been secured to her, after yeare ol perse
vering assiduity in tbe Legislature, to build a
rai.road not more toau a Uuudred miles at the
his. est esilDiate-proDaOly not more than
sixty-almost on a dead level, by which she
win have direct communication with a whole
network of railroads, commanding the vast
treasures of me South and Southwest, and,
iv return, be nble to supply the producers of
that immense territory with tbe goods and
■ groceries wbicb they consume.
It is idle to say that we already have con
nection wuh that Virgiuia aud Tennessee
Road, which, leading tor two hundred miles
Uiruug- tnericaestporiiouof Virgiuia, unites
with the railroads of Tennessee, Mississippi
and Louisiaua. We have one kind of conuec
tijn with it, true enough ; our money is in it
to the tune of a hundred thousand dollars;
bmaa to tnat direct connection, which alone
can give a common pulsation of sympathy
aud interest, mere ia nothing of the kind. By
two circuitous routes, in the hands of those
who have no sympathy with os or ours, we may
couuect wub LyucUburg, and ao we may con
nect with Wneeiing.aud various otber points
in the United States, by roads which are but
little more indirect, inconvenient and alien to
Richmond, than toe two which, diverging
lrom LyucUburg.completely ignore theprinci
pal city of tbe Commonwealth. Suppose a
city mucb larger than Richmond, a city of
two hundred thousand inhabitants, and on
each side ol it, at only ten miles distance, two
parallel lines of railroad, which, at tbat dis
tance, diverge and run off to otber termini,
how long would it be belore tbe grass would
grow iv ihe streets ol that city, and its popu
lous places become aa solitary aa old Tyre 1—
If our readers will look at a lailroad map of
tbe State, they will see more plainly than
words can tell them, tbe proaßs position of
Richmond in reference to tttm two roads
which, tapping the grearchannsl of South
western trude and travel at Lynchburg, con
vey the flood to tbe seaboard in two separate
*tr*'_ms, not a ripple of whose waters ever
reach our own shores.
We propose to return again to this subject
so important to the interests of Richmond. In
the meantime, we once more invoke the atten
tion of our citixebs to tbe Farmville Conven
tion, which meeta on tbe 14th of Jane, aud the
Convention Which is u> assemble at Bucking
ham Court-HoW, on the 4th of July. Rich
mond ahoaldat oace prepare to co-operate
with our friende in tbe country who are man
ifesting such laudable public spirit, by hold
ing a meeting aad appoiatiag delegates to
represent tale city at those Conventions.
I Haa. Waa. C Preston.
i tbe death of Wm. C. Pbbbtok, of South
ulina, which we were called upon to Bu
nco yesterday, Virginia and Caroliua
bleud their tears over the grave of one of the
most illustrious orators, patriots and states
men whom tbe South, prolific of eloquence
and statesmanship, baa ever given to the i
country. Probably, since the days of Pat
rick Hbbby, whose blood flowed ia hia veina,
there haa been ao auch orator in America as
Wm. C. Puxbtob. Who tbat has ever seen bis
towering and graceful form; his gestures, that
spoke more eloquently than tha tongues of
most men; hia far* on Are with inspiration ;
and who that haa heard that voice, which has
been likened, in variety aad sweetness of tone,
to the notee of a mocking-bird, aad whfch
aometime* rung upon the ear like a trumpet
call to battle, but has awarded bim the palm
of being tbs first orator of America I A« not
without interest at this time, we re-produce a
sketch of Col. Pbbstob's career, which ap
peared In the Ditpmtch ot April 18th, from tbe

pretty plainly that tbe P«»£*£»f*JJg_
plaeefoV msn who prsanhed Ohriat and Him
crocilled and for no other description of ora,
fesssd toconflas himself to that special duty.
Mr SfcOABB ia by no means satisfied with
confining himseli within such narrow limits.
He meaus, he says, to attack the devil in all
bis works, and therefore he fires away at what
be calls tbe corruption of the times. Appa-
I reiitly, he" does not include in bia classification
j the various little peccadilloes by means ol
wblch two millions or some ench snug sum
were raised iv Albany for political uses by
the Black Republicans to assist in electing
Sewibd. That was but a spoiling of the
Philistines, and therefore entirely lawful.—
Tbe work of the devil which he thinks espe
cially worthy of attack, is alavebolding.-
Accordlug to bim there is no other sin but
that, and he who owns not a slave ia incapable
of sinning at all. I
The otber preacher who distinguished him
self last Sunday, was the Rev. Dr. Ohebvbu.
Urn did not say that he differed from the Apos- ,
tie in hia opinions with regard to the duties |
of a pastor; but he proved it. His sermon was
devoted, not to Chbist and Him crucified, but
to Thaddbus Hyatt and him luiprisoned-
Hyatt, our readers are aware, refused to give
evidence upon compulsion before the Commit
tee of the Senate, raised to investigate the Johh
Broww affair. He publithed an address to the
public, in which he professed himself perfectly
willing to tell all be anew. There was nothing,
he said, within his knowledge, which he could
injure either himself or anybody else by tell
iug, and be would testify on one condition—
If the Senate would only acknowledge tbat
they had no power on earth to compel his at
tendance as a wituess, or to imprison him for
declining to answer interrogatories, and
for the basest of purposes, it had usurped a
power which did not belong to it, he wonld
make aclean breast of it. As the Senate would
not accede to this very reasonable proposition,
be preferred martyrdom to compliance, and j
so be continues to lie in jail. Dr. Chekvek's
blood boils at this unreasonable conduct of
the Senate, and he proposes to set everything
right, by marching to Washington at the head I
or his congregation, and taking Hyatt forci- j
bly out of jail. He has no opiuion of any law j
which stands between a man and his con- j
science, and just now his conscience requires I
tbe rescue of Thaodetjs Hyatt. What it will I
require afwrwards, we are uuable to learn ; J
but we confess ourselves much impressed I
with the Dr.'s views ot law and politics.— I
There is only ooe little obstacle in the way of
his success. It might possibly happen that j
other people, besides the congregation in Union J
Square, might have consciences, and those j
consciences might impel them to resist any at- j
tempt to liberate Hyatt. What is to be done,
then I One set of consciences, we presume, is j
as good as another set. One man has as much
right to obey the dictates of bis conscience as I
another man. It will'not be pretended that j
the congregation in Union Square monopolize
all the article extant. Suppose Chbbvbb and
bis congregation in Washington, and, under
the dictation of conscience, pulling down ths
jail in which Hyatt is confined. And then I
suppose the marine corps, and the dozen uni- I
formed companies of tbe District, firing on I
them under a similar prompting of conscience.
It is just as easy and as rational to suppose I
the one, as it is to suppose the other. Con
science is a two-edged sword. It cuts both
ways.
Thb Cbops.—The .joint worm is doing se
rious injury to the wheatin Fauquier county,
tVa. Some fields will not average ten bushels
to the acre, from which but a few days ago the
prospect was good for from twenty to thirty
bushels. In Prince Edward county, a few
weeks ago, the wheat was extremely promis
ing, but tbe joint worm and fly together will
injure it to a very serious extent.
