Railroad Prospects.

We learn from the best authority that capt.
talists of New York and Liverpool are willing
to accept the charter of the Coyington and Ohio
Railroad and to agree to contract to construct it
within three years.
We are pleased to learn also that the Presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COM
pany has expressed his willingness to lend the
sum of 5000, 900 to the Manassas Gap Railroad
company to be expended in the construction OF
a Railroad from Winchester to Strasburg, for
which the Legislature granted charter at the
last session to the Manassas Gap Railroad COM
pany.
We have been informed also that the Manas-
sas Gap Railroad company report that they
have rails sufficient to lay the road from Stras-
burg to within Is miles of Harrisonburg.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company
will have their engineers here in short time to
survey the road from Harrisonburg to Salem.
We are greatly encouraged to hope that ar
rangements will be made before long which will
ensure the construction of the Valley Railroad
from Harrisonburg to Salem The energetic
President of this company is working with a

with success

White Persons Killed by Negroes.

On Monday, the 10th inst, the negroes in
Norfolk, Va, celebrated the passage of the
Civil Rights Bill by marching in procession,
armed with muskets, pistols, knives and clubs.
A white man named J. L. r. Baker, "a jack
leg, miscegenating yankee lawyer" occupied
a conspicuous position, riding in carriage in
the front of the procession with two negro wo-
men, As might have been expected, this de-
monstration resulted in bloodshed. The ne
groes shot and killed two white men, woman
and child.
The negroes generally behave themselves very
well except where they are melted to mischief
and crime by some one or more mean and low
white men, who, whilst pretending to the ne
groes to be their best friends, are, in fact, their
worst enemies Such wicked creatures should
be hung, and the negroes should adjust the
rope about their necks. They care nothing for
the negroes, and profess very jealous friend
ship with the selfish motive of making catspaws
of them to subserve their own purposes. They
smile upon the negroes, whisper friendly ex-
pressions in their ears and then use them as
the monkey did the cat. Every treacherous
white man Of this character should have his
neck stretched by the negroes they propose

Trial of Mr.. Davis.

Timon, a Washington letter writer, in com
munlcatlon to the Richmond Dispatch under
date OF the 18th says that the trial of Mr.. Da-
vls-the arrangements for which are reported
to be In progress-Will develop some of the diff
terences which now exist between officials of
high authority such as are not fully known at
present The President is determined that, at
the earliest practicable day, this trial shall come
of, whilst others are endeavoring by all the
means in their power to delay that practicable
opportunity, now that it is certain he must be
tried by a civil court, and not by military COM
mission. It will be reeollected that upon the
opinion Of the Acknowledgement made during
the early stages Of the present session Of Con-
gress, that this trial should take place where
Confederate authority existed, Chief Justice
Chase postponed indefinitely the time for hold
ing court in Virginia on account Of military law
being prevalent there Since then affairs are,
if anything, more complicated than ever, and
no one seems able to judge as to what the final
disposition will be; but it is certain that Uni
ted States Circuit Court is to be held some
where for the trial Of the late Confederate Pres
ldent, and as the Acknowledgement has decided
upon Richmond as being the most proper place
wherein the proceedings should be held, it is
almost without doubt that that city will be the
place OF trial

Testimony of hlex. II. Stevens.

Among the testimony reported from the COM
mittee on Reconstruction, On the 10th inst,
was that of Alexander FL. Stephens. He states
that he had conversed freely and fully with
prominent leading men in Georgia. and met
with great many prominent and influential
men at Milledgeville, not connected with the
Legislature He gave his decided opinion from
conversation with them and from cerrespon-
| dence, that an overwhelming majority of the
! people Of Georgia are exceedingly anxious for
the restoration of the Government, and for the
State to take her former position in the Union
to have her Senators and Representatives adj
mitted into Congress, and to enjoy all her rights
and discharge all her obligations as State I'M
der the Constitution of the United States as it
stands amended His opinion of the sentiment
of the people of Georgia is that the exercise of
the right of secession was resorted to by them
from desire to render their liberties and insti-
tutions more secure, and belief on their part
that this was absolutely necessary for that OBJ
| ject He further believes it is their opinion
| that the surest if not the only hope for their
liberties is the restoration of the Constitution of
| Tue Culteu States anu vi 0OFeIHIicHt unuoI
| that Constitution. He thinks the people are
sufficiently satisfied with the experiment never
to resort to that measure Of redress again-by
force. Whatever may be their own abstract
ideas upon that subject, they have come to the
conclusion that it is better to appeal to the
| forms of reason and justce-to the halls of leg
islation and the courts-for the preservation of
the principles of constitutional liberty than to
the arena of arms. The idea Of secession is to-
tally abandoned.
