If the Stale in reference to the Blue Ridge Rail rood, after one million of her own money had been expen- afto dnd, with a like 8um belonging to her citizens, furl suffer it to be an entire failure for want of means, then it would be scarcely probable that she would lavish her millions upon a new enterprise having the same object as that which would be otlt attained by the Blue Ridge Road.
