New Hampshire.

The Republican State Convention, lately as
sembled to make nominations of State officers
have endorsed the course Of the President in the
following resolution:
ReSOlred That we recognise in Andrew John
son, President Of the United States, the just
citizen, the sincere patriot and the distinguished
statesman; that the tone and temper of his late
annual message to Congress meet our warm APP
probation, and augur well for the success of his
Administration. We pledge him our hearty
confidence and support in all his efforts to re
store harmony and mutual trust between the
different sections Of the Union, upon the basis
Of universal liberty and exact justice to all.
The phrase universal liberty" is of course
meant to include the African, but nota word is
uttered to indicate an intention to adopt negro
suffrage in the granite State.
The Convention also passed very strong
resolution against "the scheme to subvert our
neighboring republic of Mexico" considering
the Austrian despotism there "nothingless than
q standing insult to our power and a menace
TO our republican institutions"

j. F. Blessing.

The only excuse we can plead for our neglect
to acknowledge a Can of Oysters for our New
Years Dinner, from our tried friend and fellow
Citizen, Mr.. J. F. BLESSING, is, that we were
"too full for utterance that Oyster Piehav-
ing done the business for us.
1t has been the joy of his life tocontribue in
a very large degree to the enjoyment Of the
young people, especially on Holiday occasions,
and it is fact, worthy of mention as crelita-
bic to himself as pleasurable to us, that in the
hubbub and hustle of the Christmas festivities
he never forgcts the Printer.
Oysters fresh and plump and juicy, with all
the necessary concomitants, are daily and night
ly served at his Rooms connected with his Con-
dictionary establishment.

winohester and Potomac Railroad.

The Stockholders Of the Winchester and
Potomac Railroad, convened in general meet
ing on Saturday, SOth ult., for the purpose OF
recognizing the road by the election ola Presi-
dent and Directors for the ensuing year. The
Winchester Times has the following account
of the proceedings:
Hon. Robert Y. Conrad, who had been act
ing for some time, by appointment of the late
board of directors, as their president, submitted
a report of the present condition and the true
prospects of the company, which was one oil
great interest, and which was received and a.
dopted by the unanimous vote Of the stockhol-
ders. Several resolutions were then proposed
by Mr.. Duer, of Baltimore, representing many
Of the stockholders residing in that city, the
leading objects of which were reduction OF
the expenses of the company, to conform to
the changed condition of It's affairs, which were
adopted.
MIR. Andrew Hunter, Of Charlestown, offered
4 resolution which was adopted, declaring it to
be the true policy of the Winchester and Poto-
mac Railroad Company to encourage a connec-
ton between their road and the Alexandria,
Loudoun, and Hampshire railroad, at some
point at or near Harpers-Ferry. The Compa-
ny then proceeded to the election of presl-
dent and directors.
Mr.. Hunter nominated for the Office Of Prcsi-
dent Mr.. Joseph H. Sherrard, of Winchester,
who was elected without opposition. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were then elected directors
on the part of the stockholders, to wit: RObt.
Y. Conrad, Wm b. Baker, Philip Williams
L. Ill u ii Ol-o
DIR. Daniel Conrad and Col. Oliver r. Funston
directors appointed on the part Of the State,
constitute the present board.
We learn that it is the purpose of the new
board to take immediate measures for the COM
pletion of the road from Stephenson's depot to
Winchester, and fthe application which is now
depending before the Legislature for charter
authorizing the extension of their. road to Stras
burg. to a connection with the Manassas Gap
road at that point, should be successful, and it
cannot be refused but by an act Of fragrant dis
regard of the interests of the people of the VAL
ley, our people Will be placed at once in commu-
nication with the cities of Richmond, Alexandria
and Baltimore, and with our sister towns of the
upper valley.
CThe running of the road, under military
rule, has been conducted by D. T. SHAW, Su-
perintendent, who has discharged the duties
with satisfaction, we believe, to the govern
mcnt and public. CHARLES KELSEY is the
ObHging and gentlemanly Conductor of the
trains and r. R. FRANKS, Ticket and Freight
Agent. We take great pleasure in saying
that these gentlemen have discharged their re-
spective trusts with Fidelity. The trains run
with great regularity, and has thus far been
singularly free from accidents.-Free Press
