Richmond Dispatch from Richmond, Virginia • Page 2

THE DAILY DISPATCH- Nenttoi, We are gratified to learn that the of nd Wiu probably be totaled tbU epUoo in Virginia, la mm of lu by of Central to It wIH be, when tb. 'h" aimo.t Chariotte.Tllle to iffl ovcment which, ta a direct line wU I form the chitf arnnitlng with vlrfinU and will In connection with Taller onlleli lbe immen.e -hlob will, be Ured tr nwi 1 help to accommodate the vast 'beDanviile and the Central, and of the canal trade, lu Richmond depot being on the dock, of the James River Comnanr and arrangement, can be made so as to unload the can.l boat, directly into the Great Ucllitle. wUI be afforded by this route, for tbe delivery of coal In Richmond, from IU relative position to tbe now opening in Henrico by wealthy and which are to be unlimited. The Mattaponl and Pamucky, at tbe mouth of which stream, the Vork ltiver terminus I. fimated, are navigable for some distance above the (West Point,) and penetrate a rich country, whose trade will all be made tributary to Richmond.

We fully appreciate the importance of the James r'ver outlet, to the trade of this city, but, in the course of time, more tbaa one outlet will be necesaary. It 1. astonishing how little is known of that splendid stream, tbe Vork river, which, by tbe railroad now in process of be brought within an hour and a half of Richmond. A President of an important Northern railroad who visited this city a few days ago, be had never heard of the Vork river There to such a stream nevertheless, and one of the deepest, atraightest, and most beautiful rivers on tbe rican continent. By tbe Vork River Railroad, It is bat 38 miles from Richmond to this noble river, or, rather arm of the sea, which, at the Weat Point terminus, gives a depth of water of twenty two feet at high tide.

Eight miles below West Point, there to thirty four feet water at high tide, deep enough for tbe monster steamer now building in England. It is stated, on what we regard good authority, that that steamer will visit tbe waters of the Chesapeake, and she ought by all means to be brought up York river. We commend this matter to the Railroad Convention which is to be held on this subject, and to the city of Richmond, which ought to be represented In that Convention. From Weat Point to Chesapeake Bay Is only about thirty miles, tbe stream running straight, broad and deep between the two points, and from Weat Point to tbe Capes It is only fifty four miles. The whole distance from to tbe Capes by tbe York River Railroad and York river is only a hundred and twenty-two miles.

If Richmond, with such facilities of access to the oceaa as the James and York rivers afford, shall not become an important commercial city, it will certainly be from any other cause than the want of natural advantages. The Atlantic Telegraph. It Is aaid that the cable for tbis telegraph is being manufactured at Liverpool and London, at the rate of fifteen miles per day at each factory, and expected to be completed and laid down before the end of June. CoL Fremont is aaid to be actively employed in getting up a history of his expeditions of late We are not informed whether this includes hia late expedition to the White House. He seems t) have been snowed under on that memorable occasion, and to have just emerged from tbe drift.

We trait be comes out a wiser, if not a better man, and that hereafter he will confine his to tbe more familiar realms of science, of the dubious patbs of politics. The have from the editors the numbers of this medical monthly for February and March. They are well printed, bearing the imprint of H.K ELLYSON.

Thb Baltimore and Onto Dividend of Wheeling, Virginia, has applied in the United States Circuit Court fir an li jnnction the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to prevent tbe resc'ndiog or repeal of the resolutions adopted in December declaring an extra dividend.

The application was set for a hearing on the 7th of April The of the Railroad Board yesterday, indicate the reason, wfcich have prompted this action on the part of Wheeling- It appears that some action had been meditated by on the part of the city of Baltimore, or gome of those of the State of Maryland, for rescinding the dividend or taking such other steps as would virtually accomplish that end, if votes enongh could be obtained in the Board to carry it. Of this the Wheeling authorities seem to have had foreknowledge.

Punishment with Pepper in Africa of the common and terrible kinds of punish ment inflicted upon disobedient boys is to rub red pepper into their eyes. Their screams and yells under the operation are savage beyond description, and it is a wonder that their s'gbt is not entirely stroyed- Adult offenders are son et'mes subjected to a still severer punishcieit.
