yesterday that on Sunday night last, the barn Of
Mr.. George Knight, one ofthe most commodious

~ AT the recent election in Ohio, the ques-
ton of Convention to alter the Constitution was
submitted to the people, and decided in the af.
firmative by a majority of 53,les! Quite a
handsome majority, that-and such an one, we
think, as Virginia ought to give, when her peo-
pie come to vote on similar question. A peri
cd now not very remote.

JUNCTION VALLEY TURNPIKE.

Our Rock bridge friends seem not to be we'll
pleased at the subscription to this road, by the
people Of Augusta, and we must admit there is
some ground for the complaint, while it is true
but lttlexeal has been manifested in favor Of
this improvement-les less, indeed, than we thought
its Importance demanded, because OF its being a
feeder to the Rail road-but, then, it must be re-
collected our people have had heavy drafts made
upon them lately for another object. On ac-
count of the failure of the people of Augusta to
raise the sum required of them, the people Of
Rockbrdge are taking steIsto have the termi-
nus Of this road changed to Waynesborough and
its route to be by Fairfield and Greenyile. We
extract the following from the last Lexington
Gazette
What are we to gain from going to Staunton
1t is certainly lot TO find market there for it is
not sufficient one to consume the products OF
its own immediate vicinity. Fit is for the pur-
pose of connecting with the rail road why go to
Stanton Thrust be five or six years at least
before the rail road is completed TO that place
and it is by no means certain yet that it will
ever be: for from the last Staunton Spectator we
find that they lack the sum of $2a 800 andirid,t
al stock to make the rail road and if raising the
sum of fifteen hundred and trcenty:fue dollars i;
any indication of the strength that they have
left we may safely say that ii is well nigh ex
hausted. We would have our road completed
to Waynesboro' by the time the rail road is com
pleted to the mountain aad thus connect with
it four years before it gets to Staunton if 4

The writer then goes on to show that a roat
made on this route will draw all the Eastern ane

YOUNG MEN.

The youth of America are naturally attached
to the principles of Democracy. And the follow
ing good reasons why young men should be De-
mocrats are thus furnished by the Editor of the
Pennsylvania DIT is the party for young
men. 1t is the party of Hope, of Progress and
ofenthusiasm Its creed is peculiarly the creed
of country; and yet, not only of country, but
of that universal and catholic principle, which
applauds the treemen ofall the world, and o.
pens the door Of our Union to the oppressed and
the pers~ cuted. The party of our opponents is,
on the other hand, the party of retrogression J;
of obsolete usage, aud OF the past. Why should
not the young men act with those whose prinei-
Piles are most in unison with his own impulses
and generous feelings! Why should he not op-
pose the cold and callous policy of Federalism
and it's allies :"

AN INHuMAN Doc!-If ever an age was dis
graced by the existence of bloody and remorse-
less wretch, the present is in that of the Grim
son-dyed murderer Haynau. Thishrutalruffian
seems to glory in his crimes. A Vienna letter,
speaking of the recent murder Of Batthyany
and other distinguished Hungarans says: '''On
representation being made to Haynau against
these executions, he replied by holding out the
parchment which conferred unlimited powers
upon him. "They style me,'' he said, "a blood
hound, a tiger, hyena /; am ready to take up
on myself the responsibility of my acts" So
trembled for their lives because they had not
hanged Batthyany at once instead of postponinp
the execution for twelve hours. Haynau is said
to have been greatly incensed when he heard Of
the postponement. Can such renorseless
villain escape the just punishment of his atroci-
ties!
