DIRECT TRADE OF VIRGINIA. Hon
John Y. Mason, our minister to France,
has written to the president of the James
River and kanawha Company, describing
in very complimentary terms the signal
success with which the Hon. VIM. Ballard
Preston had fulfilled his mission to
France in regard to direct trade with
Virginia. 1t appears that an arrange
ment has been made with the Orleans
Railroad Company by which a line of
steamers is to be run between San Naz.
aire. at the mouth of the Loire, and Nor
folk. in Virginia. Judge Mason states
that at the mouth Of the Loire I" the
French government is constructing the
most magnificent artificial hal Dor in the
world. Opening to the ocean. q ship sail
ing between that point and Cheese peake
Bay avoids the channel. and will find her
rout shorter by considerable time than
between Hsvre aud the same point" He
adds that "the Orleans Company had q
large capital. is the best managed con-
Germ in France, and owns a network
of railroads which covers one. third of
the empire. connecting Paris with the
ocean. and connecting with other lines to
Switzerland. Italy and Germany"

tice OF the Peace for the Clarksburg Dis
trict at the special election next Saturday.
The object Of the law was to distribute

There are now three Justices in the
District. B. Wright. B. F. Shuttle.

live in Clsrksburg. and one east of town.
In the western portion of the district we
have no magistrate; yet, the portion
OF the district west Of the River compo>
SEES more than one third of the entire dis

habitants who pay large tax. and are
certainly entitled to an equal distribution
Of the offices. The district extends eight
