sneeslngiy look on them as the ''sonmcr herd Of

TEE MoINT GoAoA ROAD.


The Engineer, appointed by the Court, for the
location OF road to Mt. Scion, is still engaged
iii the survey Of the different routes, ard will
not, for some days, be able to report We un-
derstand, however, that a good, and it is said,
the best location, i'll as near a straight line, as
may be, will leave Spring Hill about a mile and
an half 10 the right and that the distance is 145
miles. The road that is to be located is one of
great Importance to the people Of Nit Scion and
nei2hbo!hood. and POSSESSES sufficient claims
we think, upon the county; as 10 demand at the
hands OF the Court all appropriation. / hat body
has been appropriating for similar objects-he1e
is one Of some magnitude ard if ii be right 10 give
to the small, the Court cannot reason itself cut
of the propriety Of giving to The larger objects
which may claim their attention.
Since he above was in tyre we have been
handed the following route OF the new road
The road from Mt Scion to Stanton will pass
by Pudding Spring, MIR. Mothers, fhos Mills,
crossin. Notfctt's branch above B. nunlap's and
Middle river at Geo. AndeIson's. at one of the
pretiest torcngs on that stream, thence by Capt.
Andersons lntersoeting the Chulchville read d
mile beyond VIM 1anaghe,s The grade will
not exceed 81 degrees, and the distance will be
considerably shortened on the Iron Works road.
We regret to learn that great dissatisfaction ex-
lists in the minds Of the friends OF the Spring
Hill and Iron Works roadagainst the new route.
1t was believed that route common to both
conld have been found to the forks OF the Iron
Works and Mt. Solon road near the Glade, but
close examination OF the ground rendered that
imprachcabie. Cannot the friends oflh.t route
improve the present road, Or can they moi unite
with the Mt Solon road at Anderson's or the
river?

EMIGRATION FROM VIRGINIA..

For the last three weeks, says the Kanavha
Republican, a very large number of emigrants
from our State have passed through our town
90 wagons, numbering $50 persons. They were
from Franklin; Giles, Carroll, Nelson, Loudoun,
and Greenbrier The had fine horses and wag-
ons, and bore an appearance of respectability-
in short, they We're Of the bone and sinew OF he
State. They were nearly all bound for the free
States, Indiana, Illinois, and " lsconsin.
That is, no doubt, what ismoant by ousr7oming
prosperity. We see at last the kind Of pros
perity we gain by our legislators spending all
day in spouting politics and all night in log-fol-
ing and bartefing votes-herirg "internal i'm.

TIE WAR OF l2i2.--It is understood thai tbs
officers This war with England intend applying
to the next Congress for bounty and extra pay
It has been awarded 10 those Of our fellow cti-
zens who volunteered in that war, ard Joined
their countrymen in the struggle, ho had pre-
viously emgrated to Cai!ada---to better their
condition perhaps. They received by act OF
Congress, approved 5th March, 1916, a bounty
in land equal to their relative rank, with three
months extra pay. Most assrredly, then, those
OF our citizens who remained in their country
and manully pressed forward to the field Of strife
paid their taxes tor the support OF government at
a time when her finances We're at a low ebb, and
leoparded their private affairs should not so, as
many OF them have, to their graves unreqpiled.
1t is known that the officers in the War with
Mexico in addition 10 their regular pay, received
three months extra pay. It may be noted that
number OF officers who volunteered in the wars
OF 1872 joined their countryInan in the war
with Mexico, and received three months extra
pay. Why, then, ask, should rot their CO.
patriots Of 1912 fare alike with them Much
more might be said, hui this article is intended
to present only facts, and induce the people to
urge their representatives about to assemble at
the Capital of the nation toleeisate for them to

England for independence that which is lastly

u" The Spectator seems to think that owing
TO the ''calln in political strife; We would like
to kick up dust about the number of wings in
office in Augusta-and that sse would like to
create the imple ssion that the democrats lad
been ''bat9y treated in relation to the dstrbn-
ton OF these offices in our county. We would
inform the Spectator that the democrats needed
not to be told that they were or had been ''badly
treated" in this mauer-they have long known
it--and have more than once complained of the
great inequality in the number CT Magistrates.
1t is idle TO say that politics never entered into
the calculation when any Of these appointments
were made-every body knows the result would
have been the same. The Spectator treats the
matter very lightly, and would smooth il all O.
yer with laugh. M'etell the editors they are
doomed to disappointment if they suppose the
democrats are to be laughed out OF their rights.
They do not expect to see the present number
Of Magistrates reduced-they only ask that a
little more consideration may be given 10 their
claims.
The Spectator thinks we had desire TO get
-
that the editors are very much mistaken-we
only wished to let the people know how many
wings and democrats held office in Augusta,
and we informed Our readers three weeks ago,
that when we could get the s'proper latau we
would publish the list of whig officers in this
Judicial district, and we mean 10 do SO, as soon
as we can, and if some one good at tracing the
ties Of relationship will furnish us list showing
now our magistrates are connected, we will pub
lish that, TOO. lwouli be u real .family affair
The Spectator points us 10 Rockingham, Page
and Shenandoah, and asks, Elbow stands the
2" Democratic, no doubt, aud we hope our
neiehbors down that way will publish the list
There are, however, many democratic counties
in which majority of the Offices are in the pos.
session of the wings, and throughout the State
we have no doubt, that Two thirds of the offices
are in their possession,
