Baltimore in this branch of the industrial arts.

GENTLEMEN; The action of the Wing meeting of
Amelia will doubtless soon be reported for your paper
Capt Hillsman is now our candidate, having been no.
minated with singular unanimity by large and respec-
table meeting composed Of Wings from all parts of the
county; Hewas before the people last spring, and but
for slight detection in our ranks, would undoubtedly
have been elected as the polls demonstrate His op-
ponent, Mr. Harvle he strongest in the democra-
tic partyl beating him only some rs votes when great
number Of Wings than his majority actually voted on
his side This temporary breach has now been healed
and we shall present to our opponents an almost un-
broken and undivided front at the polls Success must
be the consequence
cannot refrain from noting down some of the move
ments Of our Democratic friends. They, too, held
caucus to make nomination, but the very spirit of dis
cord seemed to pervade their councils AT one time,
some five or six names before their meeting and
each new move TO pour oil on the troubled waves and
quiet the dscordant elements oil which the meeting
composed produced Confusion contounded until
their btteres enemy could not have desired more de-
worked out OF such chaos or harmony restored we are
at loss to conjecture but learned that il resulted in the
Wings united, in good spirits and determined to do
their duty. q, P, q,

The Lynchburg Virginian, remarking upon the pas
sage of the Covngton Railroad Bill in the House Of
Delegates, says:
We have seen the bill and do know what are
the details, whether the State Road is contingent
upon the construction of the road between Staunton
and Covngton or what guarantees given that the
latter improvement should not strike the James River
Buchanan We are therefore, able to express
selves fully upon the subject But it strikes
fortunate policy pledge the State to the construction
has been surveyed with care sufficient to Justify
any thing like reliable estimate of its cost and that too,
years in advance of the time when the work is
be begun.
We learn that there every prospect OF the Canal
being extended from Buchanan to Covngton. This
would be in strict accordance with our usual policy, to
make improvement cut the throat OF another. We
hear also that there is little doubt OF the passage OF
bill with State aid for the construction OF road from
Buchanan to Salem. This would to be necessary
cripple the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad in which
the State is largely interested and may therefore
conclude the project will succeed.
| The Legislature, on Tuesday. also guaranteed the
bonds OF the town of Petersburg, to the amount OF
100000 tobe applied to the construction of the South
Side Railroad Which, the Virginian does not add, is
quite much in conflict with the States interest in the
Danville Railroad the Covington Road with the
tension of the CANAL
| The bill for the Covngton Railroad merely makes
Stanton to Covingon, and, passed the House,
denuded OF every guaranty for the farther prosecu
ton OF the work. We believe it contains no clause
deerminately fixing the route between Stanton and
