Mn. REYNOLDS AND CUBA.-The New York

Now, in reply to all this, we have authority 10
deny that there's any truth in Mr.. Reynolds inu-
endos, If not assertions that the Department Of State
at Washington instructed Mr.. Saunders TO open me-
goiiations for the sale Of Cuba

All Mr.. Reynolds has to cite as proof to the con-

In conclusion, we have only to repeat that Mr..
Reynolds seems 10 have known nothing but what
he invented, and that being denounced Tor his inven
lions, he caused to be published in America these in
ventions as facts.
The administration has great deal TO account
for but not in this matter of Cuba. All it seems to
have done was rghtfully TO keep its eyes open, to

that the British Government would swap off the

FOR THE SPECTATOR.

,Mcssrs. Editors Having seen call upon me
in the Vindicator OF this morning, requesting me TO
define my position in relation Ia sci of resolutions
adopted by the Legislature Of Virginia, during the
session of l84S-49, known as the Conway Resoln-
tons. touching the subject Of Slavery The Terrific
Ties of the United States in answer 10 that call as
well various personal inquiries ON the same sub
ject, beg leave, gentlemen. through your columns,
osay TO the voters Of Augusta County, that after
the most calm and mature deiberation of which
am capable, have arrived at the following concIu-
sions:
lst l believe Congress does not possess the right
under the Constitution either to permit or prohibit
the existence of Slavery in the territories believ-
ing that the settlement, of that question belongs en-
cusively to the people inhabihg th,se territories,
and that so soon as they have complied with the
conditions requisite TO their admission as State or
States, into this Union, they have right to decide
whether involuntary servitude shall obtain within
their limits or not.
Cd. ] believe that the Conway resolutions cnbo-
dy the sentiments of the people Of the good Old
Commonwealth, and are just such declaration of
their rights and determination 10 maintain them,
as most cordially approve.
am also requested TO give my views in relation
to the Basis question.
regard that question rs an imuIatorial issue at
present, II having been adjourned by common con-
sent until after the completion Of the next census
But wishing to give satisfactory answer 10 all per-
,inent questions, will say in reply, that in the
Spring of 1876, when the Basis question was made
an issue, voted for Baldwin and Massie, the ad-
vocaes of what was then called the Mixed Basis
had two reasons for voting as did--lst. had 4
personal preference for Baldwin and Massie over
their opponents. I'd. believed they had done
the best they could for their constituents.
In conclusion, will say, that am opposed to
dls'ranchIslng any man who bears arms in defence
oil his country and works no Duhlic ro,dc ,yho
required. Furthermore, / will say if any other in
terrogatories are propounded, will answer them
from the hastings.
Most respectfully, your fellow citizen,
ARMSTRONG RANKIN.

THE RAILROAD.

IL the sole object for which the Legislature of
Virginia convened at its last session, had been to
study the interest IF Augusta County, they could
scarcely have done more for us in the way Of Inter
nal Improvements. Appropriations were au,horz-
ed for Matchmaking portion of the Parkesburg
road, for improving the Scotsville road, for con-
structing McAdamized Road from Buchanan TO
Staunton, and for tunneling the Mountain and ex-
tending the Louisa Railroad to Staunton. The first
three are highly important TO the people Of this sec
tion, and we are disposed TO lend them all the aid
In our power, so far they need but the last Is
the great work to which, for the present, all our
energies must be applied. When it is accomplish
ed, the others will be carried out almost as matters
of course.
For years past we have been praying for rail-
road, and now the Legislature, by an act of unpre-
cedented liberality, has placed the boon within our
reach Shall we avail ourselves of the offer, or shall
we permit the opportunity to pass unimprovod
The free holders of the county asked to raise
the sum of 900, in instaments not exceeding
$4,000 year-whch sum is TO constitute so much
stock in the railroad company, the dividends on
which are 10 be annually applied to the diminution
is, compared with the wealth of the county, and
important as are the interests TO be promoted there
are some who doubt the SUCCESS Of the scheme
We not of the number-we have higher opin-
ion Of the intelligence and pnbc spirit Of our fellow
citizens.
The plan suggested is evidently the most eGui-
table that could be proposed. All classes are to be
benefited, the andholders especially and a; least
part Of the expense should be borne by the com
munity at large. 1t is unreasonable to expect few
individuals TO subscribe the whole amount when
no immediate pecuniary return is an,icipated--al-
though ultimate profit of that kind is certain.
The scheme is by no means novel one, but has
become common mode Of carrying on such public
works. BY recent vote Of the citizens Of Cincin-
natl, the city authorities have been authorized to
subscribe ST. 900, 900 10 the Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad, and ST. Louis has subscribed $780, 600 to
the same improvement In Virginia, the town of
Alexandria has taken stock in the Orange road to
the amount Of 800, 900, and Lynchburg has sub
scribed 100000 to the South Western Railroad
These facts exhibit the zeal which is felt in other
quarters in reference to improvements in which they
are Immediately interested, and should stimulate
our people 10 do likewise

THE PRESIDENT AND GEN. SCOTT.

The annexed reply 10 the article in tkis paper,
yesterday morning, referring to these two disn-
guished persons, comes 20 us under the the Sigma
ture OF perfectly reliable and responsible person.
Reluctant, however, unnecessarily TO obtrude names
on the public, we withhold this signature only adj
ding, what indeed may seem superfiuous, that the
communication is not from Gen. Scott Courier
and Enquirer, March %.
"Having seen a statement in the Courier and
Enquirer, of this morning, which purports to give
;he facts connected with Gen. Scoit's late visit TO
Washington, and having been in the way of seeing
and knowing what occurred during that visit, beg
you will publish the following TO correct the errors
into which Col Webb has fallen.
"Gen. Scott reached Washington on the evening
I'd the 18th inst, agreeably 10 notification which
he had, about the I'd inst, despatched to the Adu-
sant General, at Washington, expressing his inten-
ton to be there about that time, for the purpose Of
paying his respects in person to the new President
Of the u. States, and to learn of the Secretary Of
War the military views of the latter, in connection
with Gen. Scot's position
"On the morning of the l4th, Gen. Scot. called
TO make his respects TO the President but lea nng
at the door, from the porter that the President was
engaged, lie left his card, saying that he would call
again; meaning, when the press of business upon
the President should be ess-Gen. S. himself hav-
ing no business to transact with the President, ex-
cept such as every rule of official propriety required
should pass through the Secretary OF War.
''Oe0. scott Ol0 not, AT me frGSdGnt5 door, nor
anywhere else when in Washington, receive any
message whatever from the President.
"Gen. Scott after leaving his card at the Presi-
dents house, drove 10 the Office, where he had
official business which could only DO transacted
with, or through, the Secretary.
"J'he meeting at the church took place on the
Sunday subsequent TO the day upon which Gen.
Scott called upon The President, under the follow
ing circumstances -
"Gen. Scott being nearest TO the door was first
ont Of the church, and he there waited some min
utes for the President advanced TO meet him, and
accosied him with civility and courtesy. The sal
utation was recprocated Cen Scott said he had not
pressed himself upon the president, but had waited,
or should wait. before repeating his call, for peri
cd Of some relaxation Of lie Presidents brsncSs-
The reply to this was courteous and if Gen. Scott
aid not call il was because, as the Secretary Of
War knows, pubic duty required that he should
leave Washington earlier than he expected
"Gen. Scott has not spoken Of complained Of any
want Of courtesy towards him on the part Of the
President or this ocsasion, and it is to be- regretted
that any rumor Of this character should have been
deemed Of sufficient importance 70 be brought be-
fore the public.

The Washington Correspondent of the CONNER
clal says Of Fremont's expedition
Mr. Benton is deeply affected by the confrma-
tion Of portion of the disastrous intelligence from
Col! Fremont's expedition. The adventurous party
was made up ofyoung men of high character, from
different parts of the Union. They were young men
from New York and other Northern States some
from this district, beloved and respected by wide
circles of friends. The residue went from the South
and West. Mr.. Preuss, from this city is lost
Ills fate IS particularly deplored. He has been
long resident here. He was a German and was
renowned as an excellent draughtsman. The read
ers of Col Fremont's reports will remember the
dreadful sulierngs and the narrow escape of Mr..
Preuss in 1874, during the memorable passage by
Col. F. of the Sierra Nevada in the depth of win
ter. When the name of this gentleman and others,
whom he had known in St. Louis, were given to
COL Benton as among the lost, he burst into tears.
