CENTRAL RAILRnAD-

The Central Railroad is in operation as far
a. ShadWell, four miles from Charlottes-
vile. Then occurs q hiatus of fourteen
miles to Meechum's river. Beyond the river
the cars run to StauntOn three times week,
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays the
company being unable to run them ohener
in consequence Of having but one engine
Arrangements are being made to run Ahorse
car, on private account, between Charlottes-
Vile and Neechum's river. This is the best
arrangement that can be made for the time
being.
Mr.. Whitcomb, the energetic Superiu-
tendent Of the road, is using all means in
his power to forward the work OF repAratiOn
and reconstruction. Timber is being sawed
for the bridges, and efforts are being made
to procure additional machinery. But the
road has sustained such great injury doing
the war that months must elapse before 1t
can be put in complete running order. In
the meantime, it is to the interest OF every
farmer along the route, and more particu-
larly in the Valley of Virginia, to lend all
possible aid in the work Of completing the
road.

The Philadelphia Press says
The annual yield o: cotton, prior 10 the war.
was about $500 600 bales, estimated at about
SIZE, 600 900 Last year the product of petro-
leum was about $40 COZ OLO and it is estimated
that the present year will reach 1923 GOo,OOO, and
at the close OF the year 1856, the product Is cal
culated t. about equal the value of cotton in it's
palmy days. The reservoirs of Pennsylvania
con ain greater wealth than the fields OF all the
cotton States combined, heretofore cultivated

duction of their great staple. he main supply
of oil has been from the Venango dist. let in Penn

State that are proven to be richer still Clarion,
Crawfyrd. Washington, Greene and Fayette coun-
ties are found to be equally valuable. The last
two named counties lie on the Virginia line, up

4 CORRECTTON.

BY oversight, a paragraph Of our remarks
on 1.-The True Philosophy" in yesterdays
WRig, was so muddled as to be unintelligible.
Ii should have read:
"Time, patience, endurance, and tortitude
are, OF course important elements in the pro-
cess of restoration, but it should be remem-
bered that these who grapple with misfor-
tune, and refuse to be Disconnected by OBJ
stacles, are far more likely to succeed in the
race that is to be run than those who moodily
contemplate their losses, and revert cOntinu-
ally 70 the times that are past"

THE FUNCTIONS OF CIVIL OFFL
GERS

Major General Halleck has issued gen.
eral order, declaring that the Presidents
proclam alton relative to the late Govern
ment u Virginia does not apply 70 clerks Of
record courts, sheriHS, and local magis-
trates, retained in Office, or appointed under
military authority. Such officers derive
their authority from the de facto Govern
ment, and not from their appointment or
election under any former Government
They are, therefore, directly responsible to
the military power for their conduct. No
OWL officer will be appointed or retained in
office who has not voluntarily taken the
oath of allegiance, or who does not come
within the provisions Of the Amnesty proc
lamation. As soon as elections are duly
held and officers elected, or appointed, and
qualified under the restored civil Govern
ment, those who hold authority from the
military power will cease 20 exercise the
functions Of their office.

THE MONEY MARKET.

The Washington Union says: The present ease
in the money market Is attributed here TO the
drawing out by the loan of the boarded and hid
den money of the people of every State in the
North. East and West, and the pouring of it into
the channels of business through the o. erations
of tie United STATES Treasury. The payment of
the army and OF the navy, as far as made. the
cashing Of Quartermssters' vouchers and sus-
pended acquisitions, has made money abundant
nor only az the trade centre, but at the extremes
of the whole country.
Tie causes which have thus far prevailed viii
continue to produce this benecent state OF things.
The new loan will draw out more and more mo-
new from the hands Of the people, in which faith
in the Governments power and promises is now
fully e.establ shed. as fast as knowledge OF the
loan can be dtiused.
