VALLEY JUNCTION TURNPIKE.

The following extract in relation to this road,
is taken from the Lexington Gazette Books are
to be opened in Stanton to-day for subscriptions
to the stock, and it is to be hoped those interest
ed in this improvement will step forward to its
aid. This road will be Of great advantage to the
people of Staunton, if it is made, and of this
there seems to be no doubt, if the lan1holders
on the route will relinquish their claim to dam
ages, and will add greatly to the transportation
on the Railroad. IA word to the wise is suffi-
Gent"
The following estimate Of the amount Of stock
subscribed on the 1st day of Nov we think may
be relied upon, 1000 at Lexington, $40 900 at
Cedar Grove and Brownsburg, $4,000 at Middle
brook, also assurances have been received from
Staunton of 81, 900 there, and an agent is to go
to Botetourt this week to raise $4,000 between
Lexington and Buchanan with every prospect
of SUCCESS, this makes the sum of $4,000. The
act, at all events, provides for the organization
of the company with $1s,o 900 subscribed which
will be done at the meeting on the LIST Of Nov
and selection of the route be made, after which
the company can proceed to increase their CAPT
tai to $40, 900, to enable them to obtain the sub
scrption on the part of the State.

NM. CLAYToN,s. DIPLOMACY.

The melancholy and Notifying management Of
foreign relations to se attracting tho at
tention Of the press everywhere. We find the fol-
lowing paragraph upon the subject in that able,
sound, and discreet paper, the Charleston Is. CO.
Mercury:
ALL IN THE WRONG.-Diplomacy never
was completely mudded than in the hands Of
Mr.. Clayton. The genius of confusion seems to
preside over all his enterprises. He cannot take
step without treading on his own or somebody
else's heels. And while he has the faculty in per-
lection Of laundering into difficulties, be is alto
gether without that governing good luck that helps
some people to blunder out OF them. Why is all
the world buzzing angrily about the Secretary Of
State? Even Billow Bowlegs could not stand his
rule; the Cumanches, for the first time, brave the
United States; France could not even discuss
question oftobacco and salvage on little mer-
chant vessel with him, but there must be talk Of
war, and stocks go down five per cent. 1t were
well if this the end but il is only the begin
ming of the end. The CHILEAN minister has been
put out Of temper; and they say that, too grave
matter. Besides, the King of the Mosquitoes has
been ectured about the navigation OF the San Juan
river; and Great Britain, as patron, has taken up
the matter in high key, which make this perhaps
the very worst of all Mr. CIaytons affairs. All this
in six months /!
o. This is not all. We have a fuss with Tunis.
also with Chill also with Peru, &c. For peace
these are about quarrels enough.

DiSGRACEFUL.

Under this head, the Parkersburg Gazette says
that the Grand Jury, at its late session in Wood
county, made two presentments against J. J.
JACKSON, the Attorney for the Commonwealth,
for assault and battery. On hearing of the pre-
sentiments the Attorney charged the Jury with
not having done their duty, and had them sent
back to their room. AT his own request, he
was sworn, went before the Jury; and addressed
them in a menaoing and insulting manner.
When the Jury was discharged and its men,
bers quietly leaving the Court House, the said
Attorney and his sons, all full grown men, made
an attack upon one of The Jurymen, but the
spectators prevented any one from being hurt,
Thisis, indeed, pretty conduct for Prosecut-
ing Attorney-he whose duty it is to preserve
the peace and uphold the moral character of the
communicable leader ola riot, because, for
sooth he was himself presented for violating the
law. Well done, Mr.. jackson 1t seems the
Attorney was not sent to Jail or even bound O.
yer to keep the peace; yet, as the Gazette very
justly remarks, 'if any Of the yeomanry should
engage in similar difficulty what would be
lone with them? They would be ordered to
Jail" The Gazette is very severe on Mr. Jack

Public meetings of the citizens of Hampshire

ed to be held during the mouths OF October and
November, for the purpose of canvassing the

which meetings are to be held--addresses are
to be delivered, and a memorial will be present.

this movement Oh the part Of the Hampshire Re-
formers. If this is the course to be pursued, meet
ings Of the people, and a memorial to the Legis-
lature---there is no time 10 be lost. But we see
no necessity for meetings of the people---they
are ready for the question. Let, then, the peo-
pie Of Hampshire, send out their memorials to
every county in the State, and by the meeting
of the Legislature, these papers could have the
names of FIFTY THOUSAND persons attached
thereto. Let the Legislature disregard such a
voice as that, if it dare.

INTERESTING HIsroRY OF AN ADvENruRER TO
CAL1FoRNIA.-A New York citizen, having a
capital Of $4,000, managed to make kind of
living with it in Wall street, by shaving. Smit-
ten with the California fever, he purchased one
of the vessels sold by the United States govern
ment, by auction, at the termination ofthe Mex
lean war. 1t was a brig, for which he paid 81
500. He bought wines and other liquors with
the balance Of his cash, just leaving himself
$500 pay his expenses, by the isthmus route,
to San Francisco. His all was thus risked upon
the hazard OF the die. The brig, being freighted
with this cargo sailed for the land Of gold, and
he arrived before her. He sold the cargo at a
tremendous profit, 800 or 400 per cent, and he
was offered for the brig $4,000. He refused
the offer, because he saw he could make more
money by couple of trips to Oregon for lumber,
which was then in great demand at San Fran
cisco. AT the end Of the second voyage, he was
offered $45, 900 for the brig. He accepted it and
gathering up his profits on the wines and the
lumber, he turned all into gold Gust, He re-
turned to New York a few days ago, in the Ores
cent City, and deposited $4,000 worth of the
shining PARTICLES in the mint in Philadelphia, to
be coined into Eagles and half eagles. The truth
of this narrative may berelied on--N. Y. Herald.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS KING GREAT

tains long account Of the reception of +, George
Squier our charge, at the government Of Nicara.
qua. So soon as his arrival was known and the
object OF his mission, the government appointed
Senior Don Hermengildo Zepeda as minister on the
part Of that government to treat with Mr.. Squer
The ceremony OF introduction to Norberto Rami-
req, the President and Director of that Republic,
is given pretty much at length. And altogether it
exhibits the most cordial, friendly relations be-
tween our own and the government of Nicaragua.
There is neutrality OF interest between the two
nations which evidently produces confident reli-
ance on the part Of Nicaragua upon us for protec
ton against the encroachments of the monarces
of Europe. And such encroachments we al bound
to resist. We can never acknowledge the preten-
sons Of Great Britain TO the exclusive right TO
igate the river ST. Johns and to occupy its banks,
the treaty with the Mosquito King and his preten-
ded grant to the contrary, Notwithstanding 1t
seems that England has already taken forcibIe oc-
cupaon OF the mouth OF that river not however
by virtue of the treaty with his Mosquito Majesty
but on the grounds OF our alleged hypothetication
of the coast fora debt due to an English company

Consul, Mr.. Chafeld, on the subject, by Nicara-
qua, the consul replies by threatening severe pun.
ishment by his government upon Nicaragua for
any steps that may be taken initiating against the
supposed rights OF the Mosquito King. 10 this,
Nicaragua rejoins, through her minister for For
egn Affairs, Senior Salinas, that their right to the
river and coast. they deem beyond dispute, that
they intended to act on this view of the subject
lone, regardless Of the threats of any other power
and especially Of that power which has made her
self the patron Of the pretended chief Of band of
savages. Great GOODNESS and courtesy was evinced
on the part of ST. Salinas, while the English con-
sui exhibits great arrogance and passion. We can.
not stand idly by and see the rights Of friendly
North American Republic trampled upon by an
European monarchist, especially when our own
rights are deeply involved in the matter. We and
the whole nation would like to know what Mr.
Clayton is doing on this subject. Whether or not
be is standing firmly by the rights of America.

This is the grand result ofthe elections which

that time there have been eiyhy.fve members
elected, 6ty.dus of whom are democrats, and
