The Danville Connection Secured at Last.—A Bill to charter a road from the Company's shops to Milton, in Caswell county, with the right to connect with the Richmond and Danville railroad, passed its third reading in the Senate on Monday. This is the "Danville connection" which has been so much talked about,

The Wilmington Journal, of the 12th, in speaking of this, says:

This, or a similar bill, has already passed the House, and will no doubt become a law so we may as well make up our minds to it at once. We thought, at one time, that this action might have been staved off for a few years longer, but never doubted that it would sooner or later be forced through. Southern Guardian.
