THE PEOPLE MOVING.

The mass meeting Of the people, that took
place in Washington on the 22d, is the first
grand move on that march to conquest, which
tbs people of this country are now about to
make.
1t will be observed, that in getting up this
meeting, the usual practices Of drawing big
crowd, by the Use OF tie names Of big speakers,
was discarded, and the people we're simply in-
vitsd to assemble. The same was the CAS- ii.
the call for the great meeting which assembled
in New York, on the night of the ed, tie
proceedings of which have not reached us,
but it was, doubtless, one Of the greatest out
pourings of the masses that has ever taken
place in this country.
Let the Northern people speak out, if they
intend to support the policy Of President John
son. Let them hold meetings, in county and
town, and if they really favor Reunion of
these States, and make it known, we shall
soon hear but little OF the now threatening

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE
VETO,

The opinion expressed by the National HI
teUiqeacer, is most true, that the financial eff
feet of the veto message will be watched with
much interest in our large cities. The mes
sage itself exhibits regard for constitutional
order, for the restoration of cordial relations
of the lately alienated States to the Union, for
the preservation of the public credit, and for
the economical administration Of the Govern
ment, which will in1part more frmnsss and
stability to our monetary affairs than they
have for some time experienced.
When it may be considered as settled that
the Presidents policy of restoration will pre-
vail, our Government securities may defy all
rumored plots and contrivances for depreciat-
ing their value, either at home or abroad.
A conflict between the Executive and Con-
gress may arise, but that will not necessarily
be attended with.any monetary depression, for
it will be generally believed and felt that the
difficulties will be but temporary, and that
the people sustain the President.

By reference to the proceedings of the Leg
islature it will be seen, that the Lynchburg
aud Danville Rail Road Bill is now law
The Valley Rail Road Bill has also passed
the Senate with the following proviso:
"Pyoyided, houeuer, That it shall not be
lawful to complete the said Valley railroad to
a point nearer than twenty miles Of the Vir-
ginia and Tennessee railroad earlier than one
year after the Covington aud Ohio railroad
shall be completed.
The next great Rail Road matter before the
Legislature is the completion Of the Coving-
ton and Ohio Rail Road. Two patriotic COM
panies have sprung up, and each are trying to
get permission from the state, to form new
company, and with enlarged capital, complete
the Central Road to the Ohio River. One
party before the Legislature is known as the
"Gwynn Thompson" Till and the other is
called the Virginia Bill.
The Richmond Times of yesterday gives the
following account Of the progress Of the
fight:
After elaborate and able arguments before
INC lCCLolO Vu ItCdSS, ny WI DctiHSS
Lyons, for the ''Gwynn-Thompson" bill, and
by Messrs. Henry a. Wise and Beverly B.
Douglas for what is popularity known as the
Virginia bill, the committee have, we learn,
reported the Virginia bill" with certain
amendments which are perfectly acceptable to
the corporators. If tits bill is adopted by
the Legislature, and to the company of Vir-
GINA gentlemen is given charter to build the
Atlantic, Covington and Ohio railroad, we feel
perfectly assured that the road will be COM
pleted within the time specified in the bill -
We have been favored by the corporators
with the most satisfactory proofs that they
can readily command sixteen millions OF cap
ital if that sum should be needed to achieve
the great enterprise OF constructing a FIRST.
class road from the waters Of the Ohio to those
of the Atlantic.

Company, To our old friend Gwynn we bid

MARKET GARDENING.

But few people, even Of those living among
US, are aware of the immense quantity of
garden products shipped from this port, for
the various Northern cities. and our object in
calling attention to it is to stimulate, if posi-
BILE, still more the production of such great
staple articles of commerce.
1t has been estimated, by persons fully COM
petent to judge, that the value of the fruits
and vegetables shipped from this port and
raised in the vicinity, amounted before the
war to nearly two millions of dollars annu-
ally.
The land in all these neighboriug counties
is admirably adapted fer the purpose, and
there are many thousand acres now lying idle
for want of capital to cultivate them. No in
vestment Of money is so safe and SO certain Of
bringing in good return as market-garden-
ing. Furthermore, there is no fear of over
stocking the market, as there is a ready sale
North for all our early vegetables, &C., at
high prices. Money, there, is plentiful, wages
are good, work is abundant, and all classes
can afford to indulge in these luxuries.
BY investing capital in this manner, tie
increased quantity Of land brought into
cultivation, will render necessary a con-
siderable increase in the working force. aud
as the prices received will justify the farmer
in paying liberal wages, we may look forward
to large immigration of laboring men and
their families, both from home and abroad II

banker, the merchant, and the manu- acturer
all make money in their way, but the produ-

House bill Incorporating the Valley Rail-
road Company came up as unfinished BUSH
Mr.. Gilmer, having the floor discussed at
once the three subjects: the Valley Railroad,
the Lyuchburg and Danvile Railroad, and
The Covinston an Ohio Railroad. He viewed
it as a matter Of State policy, and not mere
local question. The passage Of the bill would
destroy the hope of direct trade with Europe.
He concluded by Offering the
GILMhR PRovIso.
"Proujded, ho,cever, That it shall not be
lawful to complete the said railroad TO point
nearer than twenty miles of the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad earlier than one year af-
ter the Covington and Ohio Railroad shall be
completed"
The proviso was unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Coleman offered the following provso /:
That the Manassas Gap Railroad shall be
reconstructed to completion from Strasburg to
Alexandria pari possu with the said Valley
Railroad"
1t was rejected by vote of twelve to seven
teen.
Mr.. McRae offering the following proviso
"Ihe road aforesaid shall be constructed
and placed III running condition, progressing
from Stauuton in either direction, before it is
worked on at other points; and provided that
the last twenty miles OF railroad completed
shall be at its northern terminus"

THE TAX BILL
The bill imposing taxes for the support of
government, was taken up out Of its order and
considered.
Mr.. Grattan moved to amend su as TO make
the tax on lands, lots and Improvements forty
cents on tic hundred dollars instead OF four
teen cents He said that the increase Of TWEEN
ty-six cents would be all required to meet the
January interest upon the State debt.
Mr. Turner opposed the amendment on the
ground that the people in their present condi-
ton could not bear 50 heavy a burden Of tax
alton.
Mr.. Grattan, in reply, expressed his willing
hess to raise the lax to such a point as would
enable the State to save its financial credit,
and at the same time relieve tie necessities of
the home creditors, who had already suffered
so much.
On division the amendment was lost
ages 8, noes 81.
On motion OF Mr. Straughan, bakers, whose
sales do hot exceed one hundred and fifty doi-
lars per annum, were exempted from taxation
Mr.. Grattan offered the following; No part
of the taxes hcreinbefore assessed being inteu-
ded to pay any portion Of the United States
direct tax, which the General Assembly has
proposed 10 assume, the persons who have
paid that tax shall not be entitled to credit
therefor upon the tax assessed Upon them, or
