To cifect this groat uirpose the convention recommended the Legislature of Virgint to incorporate a Southern Pacific railroad com- | pany, with sufficient capital—the corporation to be com- | posed of the several Southern States, cities, railroad com- | panies, and the Cherokee, Choctaw and Creek Nations west of the Mississippi. All these States are requested to take stock to the amount of not less than two millions of dollars each, to be raised and secured in such manner as tho Legislature of each State shall direct.
