The friends of Improvement in the Valley, have received the rejection of the Loan Bill with too much vivacity of disapprobation, and are disposed to despair too readily. What is one year in the history of a nation? Just nothing. Although rejected this year, the powerful vote given the Loan Bill (unascertained as the public sentiment was, as to that precise mode of proceeding) and the strong and pervading interest now felt on the subject of Internal Improvement, throughout the Middle country, the Valley, and trans Alleghany, demonstrate that the cause is irresistible. It must and will prevail. For our own part, we now consider the rejection of the Loan Bill fortunate. The development of popular opinion since, satisfies us that at another session, a bill more efficient may be passed without any difficulty.

Meanwhile, we hope the Valley will receive some compensation in the passage of the Winchester and Ohio road, for the rejection of the Loan Bill.
