WHAT a Prudent y1rE Did.--A cor
respondent of the Natitaal Era relates the
following: A fact with ] came in possos-
ION OF a couple Of ycaraagn, may illustrate
the character Of the NV EngIamiers. and
reveal tho origin OF stn,e branches OF their
profitable onsiness. w. was the son Of
our country clergyman, and was asrus,om-
cd to laborIng on 4 farm yp s,imm1cr, and
keeping school in winter. He was moral.
industrious and frugal, and took a VINO poo.
scssing the same qualities, together with a
shrcwd propensity 10 calculate the cost of
all articles {" living. One day her hus-
band brought home the clo,hanI trimmings
for II new coat. The wife inquired the
price of the buttons, which she noticed were
made OF cloth lasting Of, u1orc folly,
everlasting covered on to woorcu button
Inoulds. She thought she could afford a
good button, made by land, Tor less money.
The next day, like TIC true daughter Of a
Yankee, she tried the thing OUT She
bought the cloth ty The yard, and the
moulds by the doZers and in n week she
had better buttons, 4 4 less price, in the
market.
The thing would pay. S. w. soon lef,
farming and scho"lkccping, bought the
cloth, which his wife cut into hutton-co,A rs
and hution-moulds. ,ircd the women and
girls OF the ncighbiring towns to make
them up, and sold hem at great profits
soon another cntc'eI into partnership with
'sim, and invented machinery TO do the
work. Then the Tiain lasting was changed
to figured velvet, and satin. and twist.
Improvement III machinery WAS made. ,ill

proptiety Of subscription on the part Of that town
to the Manassas Gap Railroad, was unanimously
carried in the affirmative. This road will CONNECT

The people of Fredericksburg. at recent public
meeting voted that the corporation should subscribe
$40, 900 of stock In the Fredericksburg and Orange

ultimately to Harrsonburg in the Valley.
A note published in the Railroad journal thus
briefly states the action of the Virginia Legislature
in reference TO the Louisa Railroad:
At the prescn, session Of the General Assembly
an act was passed approptlating 3-5ihs ofS70O,OOO
TO extend the road from Siaunton 10 Covingon.-

ro THE PEOPLE OF AUGUSTA.

Fellow- Chisens:-A disposition having been
manifested by afportion of the people 10 know the
sentiments of the candidates for The Legislature up
on the subject of Constitutional Reform, ! propose
expressing as briefly and clearly as possible The gen.
era views entertain Upon the topics which now
excite SO much interest and discussion ID our conn.,
munity | admit the right If the people TO know
from all who seek their SURFACES, the principles by
which they will be guided and The me asures they
will advocate and Ihave no disposition 10 shrink
from any just responsibility that may attach to a
candid expression Of my opinions.
The subject of Constitutional Reform is one with
which the Legislature can properly have nothing 10
do. If The people call ConyentUn and the Con.
ven'ion adopts Constitution, it becomes the duty
of the Legislature to provide by law for the sub
mission Of the Constitution TO the people, and i'm
agine no legislator would presume 10 refuse his CO.
operation in effeciing this end.
Entertaining the belief that there is no connec-
ton between the Legislature and Constitutional
Reform. have not sought 10 press upon the people
at this time, discussion of irrelevant issues, but
am unwilling TO sanction by my silence any impress
sion tina, desire or am capable Of concealing any
sentiment honestly entertain.
am, then, in favor ofand shall vote for The pro-
posed Convention.
am IN tavtr OF basDg representation upon wnlte
population, and suffrage upon fixed residence and
payment of public dues.
am satisfied that as general rule it is right to
elect all officers by the people.
In regard TO tenure, am in favor Ct term OF years
for all officers except the Judge who should think,
hold office during good behaviotr and capacity 10
discharge his duties A steady, uniform and Impair
tial administration Of the laws, is the great end of
government; without it have ro security for life.
fortune or reputation. To attain This, am satish-
ed there should be permaience of tenure connected
with the Judicial Office, that it may be rendered
superior and Indifferent 10 all party feeling or The
influence Of wealth, power or faction; and that II
may resist the enrroachments Of the Legislative or
Executive branches Of the government.
These are the general views ! entertain on The
subject Of the REFORM have not undertaken 10 enter
infinitely into details, and do not pretend 10 be pre-
pared 10 duso. The formation ola new constitution
is matter of too much importance TO be lightly I'M
dertaken and requires more wisdom and experience
than claim | have not, therefore, presumed to
prescribe one for The wise and patriotic men who
will doubtless be called by the people to the dis
charge Of this high duty.
As one Of The people, expect to be represented
in the approaching Convention. do no not expect
that all my views will be carried into effect by that
body, but trust their deliberations may result in
the adoption of such Constitution as will satisfy
every friend Of rational reform.
