Chair, made few happy and appropriate emarks,
of which, together with the able speeches of Mesrss

of Augusta and Messrs Dorman and Yelott of
Rockbridge want of space prevents our publish
ing an abstract Books were opened under the
supervision of the Commissioners, named in the
charter and over 800, 900 subscribed, being
more than was necessary to secure the charter.
The Convention adjourned at 3. P. NJ.

as follows
PREsIDENr.-Col. NJ. G.. Harman of Augusta

Echols, Col VIM. Allan and Col J. B Baldwin,
of Augusta. An admirable selection both as re-
CARDS the President and Directors.
Every disposition was exhibited to put the VAL
ley Railroad into process of construction, at the
earliest possible day and if the feelings exhibited
by this Convention, and the prompt subscription
of the stock necessary to secure the Charter, be
an earnest of the determination of our people in
this matter, the Valley Railroad Scheme will, ere
many years, be realized fact.
