G. & H. VALLEY RAILRoAD.-It is a
melancholy fact that at several points a
long the line Of this road at the present
time, when all hearts ought to be united.
on the proposed construction of this great
national work, there arc divisions and dis
affections arising from a variety Of causes.
This state Of things is altogether wrong
indeed it is utterly objectionable at a time
like this when unity of feeling and concert
of action are required. We earnestly en-
treat our friends to heal all disunions and
to unite with each other in the great duty
which they alike owe to the Hooking Val
ley. Let them not permit their prejudicos
to triumph over their better Judgment
Wheneverapersona or sectional prediction
or prejudice conflicts with great and vital
public improvements, it should be sacrificed.

ests ofthe Valley Chat we can hope to, de-
velopo our incxhaustible resources, and

Remember that in union is strength, and
let US resolve that our full strength shall
be brought to bear in The construction of
