expenditures from the 'pu5c Grill. AThe last
session of Congress decided by large majority
against the favonte pirgiaiG Interpretation Of
the Constitution; and although we may stu en-
terrain our fayo-ite opinions, yet it would be
madness in US not TO profit by the declared sem
timents of majority of Congress. In this IN
stance, at least, we will not say, "touch not
handle not"
The citizens of Winchester and neighborhood
nave already held meeting, and pe;it;oned the
Executive TO cause survey to be made of the
road leading through the Valley; setting forth
the many advantages which it possesses over
every other route. But we should not remain
satisfied with the mere circumstance of petition
ing. In aquestion involving 81 oh important con.
s'derations, every one must see the necessity of
applying his own shoulder TO the wheel, and
making the most vigorous and determined exer-
tons Although we possess every other advan-
tage, yet il appears the route on the east side of
the Blue Ridge is somewhat the shortest Let
the people, then, ofthe Valley, agree to turnpike
part OF the route, [say from Smokers Ferry to
this place. and we viii then have double claim
upon the attention of Congress. Any thing
every thing must be done to procure the passage
OF the contemplated road through the Valley
Did the location of the road but partially affect
us, we might have some apology for folding our
arms iu seeming indifference. But its route will
most vitality affect if it passes on the east
side of the Blue Ridge, il will not require much
toreknowledge to predict the most injurious con-
sequences will result TO the people on the west
side. But should the road pass through our Val
ley, we have every advantage to hope for; in
stead of his industry being repaid by bare
livelihood, and his grain rottng OH his hands,
| the farmer will find ready market for his sur
plus produce new life and vigor will stimulate
HIM to further exertions, knowing that for all his
abors he viii be amply repaid.

1t will be recollected that, at the las,
Session of Congress, loan of Five mil
lions of Dollars, at an interest of four and
half per cent. was authorized to be rails
ed, TO be applied TO the payment of the six
per cent stock Of the year 1872. This
loan was yesterday taken by the Bank of
the United States, at par. By this opera
ton, clear saving to the United States is
effected Of $4,000 dollars year.

Richard 1. Manning was, on the Sd
inst. elected Governor of the State of s.
Carolina, vice j. L. WiLson, who was no
longer eligible, by reason of having served
out the time limited by the Constitution.
John Bailey has been reelected Re
preventative in Congress from the same

The recent rowing match, in the harbor
OF New York, for thousand dollars a
side, between the boat Of British frigate
and boat belonging TO White Hall. in
the city of New York, is an interesting oc-
clrrence, from the honorable manner in
which it was conducted on both sides, and
the rcciprocation of courtesies to which il
has given rise. We are glad to see the
spirit with which the winners have invited
the whole crew Of the irigate Hussar to an
entertainment, and also the liberal feeling
which has recommended the public dinner
that is about to be given to her command
err, Capt. Harris. He has probably done
more, by his frank and generous deport-
ment on this occasion, to produce cordial
feeling toward mis- nation, than all the COM
manders in her navy, put together, that
have visited the waters of the u States
for live and twenty years past Ibid.
The following paragraph, from late London
paper, shews that the reception which has been

ITS true aspect, by portion at least of the Bri

stances, we believe they would not have been
