l find, on an examination of the Books for the
year ending the 90th of September, that the
amount of travel between Waynesboro', Fish
ersvile and Staunton, in both directions, by the
freight train, was $s07.s0 While it is reasonable
to suppose that but small portion of this would
be entirely lost to the Road, if none went by
the freight train, | will give the whole Of it
as credit 1t would still leave balance in
favor of the present arrangement of $3,0l9.20.
To 60 still farther, and deduct the whole sum
estimated for loss of time by the hands in the
Tunnel it would still leave clear saving of
$2,162.2O, or over two thousand dollars per an
mum. You will see by the above, that | have
put everything down considerably below the
usual estimates In regard to the freight from
Jackson's River lying over at Millboro', would
say that it is no longer upon the Road than when
it laid over at Waynesboro', at which time l
never heard any complaint. Indeed, The whole
amount, 81, 409.80 for the last year, is so small,
that l think Waynesboro will acknowledge that
it would hardly pay for any expensive arrange
ment There has been one car load of sheep
sent from Jackson's River since the Road reach
ed that point, and some two or three car loads
of stock were carried to the Agricultural Fairs
and retired free of costs, and the transportation
was done to the satisfaction OF the owners, if
not to Waynesboro'. Should stock offer at any
time, shall make such arrangements tor its
transportation as will be satisfactory to the
owners remain
Yours very respectfully,

AS regards the Emperor Napoleon and the

AS regards the Emperor Napoleon and the l.
Italian question, the London Times feels certain
that the Emperor's speech to the Austrian Min
lister was made with view of learning how the
great powers would receive the project of a
French interference in Italy. The result of the
appeal has happily been most decisive. This
notion of proposing himself as the champion of
Italian independence, is one of the greatest of
his latest failures, through the increasing suspi-
cion with which the Imperial policy is regarded.

Rockingham Court Day.

On Monday, the 18th, Messrs. Skinner, Har-
man and Harris, candidates for Congress, adj
dressed the people at Harrisonburgh. DIR. A.
NJ. Newman and Capt. Hiram Martz also enter,
ed the ring and made speeches. The Valley
Democrat Gays: 1893
"a discussion also took place in relation to a
Convention. The motion was defeated by q
vote of about fire yeas TO about tao hundred noes.
Such an expression as was given by the people
on Monday last, ought certainly to satisfy any
one, who still entertsins the hope of Oonven-
ton, of the opinion of the people of Rockingham
in relation to that matter. The people of Rock
ingham are decidedly opposed to Convention,
and will submit to no dictation from other quar-
ters The only county that seems anxious for o
Convention is the county of Rockbridge. 1fany
Congressional aspirant up that way entertains a
lingering hope that convention might possibly
compromise upon Rockbridge man again, he
should dispel at once from his mind such delu-
sive phantom. Rockbridge has had the repre-.
sentative for t,0enty years, and that county must
take back seat for the next fifty years. We
hope they will take things easy up that way, and
submit like philosophers to their fate"

VIRGINIA CENTRAL RAILROAD,
General superintendent Office, !
Richmond Jan. N. 1859,

hlCnmOnu, Jan. II, 1908. J
Col. e. Fontaine, President-Dear Sir: The
arrangement for the running of the freight trains
complained of by "Waynesboro'," was made,
first, to reduce the number of miles run by the
freight trains to what is actually necessary to
transport the freight, and to give the engines as
nearly as possible, maximum loads; second, to
avoid an unnecessary loss of time by the hands
engaged in the completion of the Blue Ridge
Tunnel. BY this arrangement the passenger and
freight trains pass through the Tunnel within a
short interval of each other, either before the
hands commence work in the morning. or during
their absence for meals. Under the previous
arrangement an hour was lost by the hands each
day, and frequently more, in consequence of be-
ing compelled to leave the Tunnel for the freight
trains to pass. The freight train is not run
daily west of Charlottesville Greenwood has
always been the regular night stand for the
freight trains. The Company have engine hou.
ses at Greenwood, we'll warmed by stoves, and
covered by insurance also turntables, and 9TH
er conveniences suitable for the accommodation
of their engines in winter, none OF which exist
at Wsynesboro'. By this arrangement l62 miles
running by freight trains is saved each week, or
6,400 miles per year OF 90 weeks, and the ne.
cessity of keeping night watch at Waynesboro
at an expense of 81 per night, or 1855 per year,
is also avoided. To ascertain the cost of the
e,4oO miles more run under the old arrangement
than by the present one, propose to take the
cost Of repairs Of locomotives and cars, cost of
wood for engines cost of oil, tallow and waste
for engines and cars, as stated in Table B. of my
report for the last year; and there should also
be small allowance for wear and tear of track,
incident to that number of additional miles run,
which shall put down at one fourth of the cost
per mile run for the repairs of track by Table B.
These items added together will give 81 cents
per mile run as the actual additional expenses in
cident to the running of the train, not charging
it with any portion of the various expenses
which go to make up the aggregate cost of work

CAPT. MARrzs SpEEoH.-A correspondent OF
the Richmond Wing gives graphic account OF
the proceedings at Harrisonburg, on the last
Rockingham Court day. Capt. Msrtz, says the
writer, charged that work of distraction, cor
ruption and disntegration was commenced in
this State by Henry A. Wise, and the Richmond
Enquirer, edited by Wise's son: that Wise, who
had been warmed into political life by Hunter
and his friends,-had commenced dirty in.
trigue, two years ago, to GUST the Hon. Robert
M. T. Hunter the favorite statesman OF Virginia,
from the U. S. Senate, and had waged upon him
fierce, malignant, malicious and infamous war
that when they had been ANONYMOUSLY foiled in
their attempts to seduce the legislature, and
sternly rebuked by the people, they had pretend.
ed to acquiesce in the popular decision, and
sneaked back into the ranks of the party, in
which they soon raised another disturbance by
their efforts to put down honest John Letcher-
the favorite of the Tenth Legion. Here the
Captain was interrupted by S. O. Walker, Esq,
the editor of the Valley Democrat, who wanted
to know whether the editors of the Enquirer
were not in favor of conventions. Yes said
the undaunted Captain, they are just noao > but
he had no confidence in Wise and his son-they
were disorganists; if anybody deserved seat in
Congress on the score of past services, q service
of forty years in the Democratic ranks entitled
the individual then and there addressing the
people, to that honor; he was opposed TO free
fights for they gave scope for the exercise of the
inLrigues of cliques and combinations there was
an odious clique of politicians here who dis.
graced the democratic party, and he could, if he
chose tell tale in relation to their conduct,
that aoouM make every honest man in that house
6lush! This clique Lad fixed on George e. De-
neale as their candidate, bat when he was ar
rested, they had fixed on man who was no less
Objectionable than Deneale. He Ghe Speaker)
was no asprant, but if he could not get con-
vention he was in the ring as the farmers can
didate, opposed to cliques and combinations, and
to Wise, the enemy OF Hunter and the recreant
to Southern rights"

The talk Of an extra session Of Congress begins
to produce some sensation. The opinion prevails
among business men that simple re.enactment
OF the tariff of 1912 would put all right within
twelve months; but that being Wing measure,
Democratic pride of consistency will present
strong opposition to so prompt a remedy. To
the old Wing policy, in effect, however, must
the country come at last, no matter by what
process names of things may be changed or con-
cealed

ITALY.-The continental journals and cores
pondence continue to give alarming details of
affairs in Italy. A rumor had been current in
Paris that Milan was in state of siege, but it
lacked confirmation. The Turin correspondent
of the Times says it is quite evident that the
Sardinia Government desires war, means war,
and is confdant that war is at hand. The in
innate friends of Ministers do not conceal
that the assistance of France is reckoned upon
The Government has assumed such position
that if war does not occur, its term of office
must be exceedingly short; and the conf
dence is so great in Count Cavour's strong
sense that the Italians cannot believe he will
stultify himself in the eyes of the county,
They, therefore, fully believe that war is at
hand. 1t is estimated that the Austrians could
now muster 100000 men in two or three
days in the limits of their Italian dominions.

vailed in that city; trade was at stand still
and the stores closely watched. The British
frgate Melbourne, on her way to England from
Jamaica, had reached the harbor with over four
hundred troops on board, and would remain
there for the protection of all foreigners, at the
request Of Her MajestYs Consul. A United
States war vessel was loudly called for. Soulo-
que, in company with the Ministers of State and
generals of the army, left Port au Prince on the
18th ultimo for Gonaives and the following day
the soldiery captured Mount Rouis. Gonaives
was declared in blockade, and if the army re-
NAMED true the Emperor would be re-estab-
lished securely on his throne.
