Valley Railroad.

The reader will find the proceedings Of
the meeting of the stockholders of the
the Valley Railroad, held in Staunton on
9th inst, in another column, says the
Rockingham Register. The report Of
Col NJ G. Hartman, President of the
Road, although read to the meeting, was
not ready for the press, and therefore, we
could not secures copy. We learn from
it however, and the report Of Engineer
Randolph, who recently surveyed the
rout Of the Valley Railroad from Harrison
burg to Salem, that the distance is 113
miles or 116, including the necessary
sidings, &c. We are also informed that
the cost of constructing and equipping
the road is estimated at s58, 900 per mile,
or an aggregate for the entire line of S.
610,500. Mr.. Randolph, in his report,
(Which we will lay before our readers as
soon as we can procure copy Of IT'D as
sumes. after giving a summary Of the
products of the Valley counties through
which the Road from Strasburg to Salem
would pass. that the trade of the Valley
alone would justify the building of the
Road, and that, considering its ultimte
destination, it becomes line of trade and
travel Of vastly more importance to Balti-
more then the main stem Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad has ever been. The
report groups in interesting and available
from much valuable and useful informa-
ton, and will be read by the people Of
the Valley with great pleasure.
Col. Hartman states in his report that
corps of Engineers had already been or
dered, by Mr.. Garnett, President of the
Baltimore and Ohio, to Winchester, to To-
cate the route of the Railroad from that
place to Strasburg, the necessary consent
to do SO having been obtained. He also
expresses the opinion that the Manassas
Road ought to be completed to Harrison
burg by next fall He refers to the fact
that the lastLegislature of Virginia amend
ed the charter of the Valley Road SO as to
empower the President and Directors to
negotiate for the possession of any roads
between the Potomac and Tennessee lines,
or the construction Of one or more lines
between those points. He assumes it as
fact that if the consolidation of the Man
assas Orange & Alexandria Roads is not
speedily consummated on the terms pro-
posed by the Alexandria meeting Of stock
holders, then that the Manassas Road
from Strasburg to Harrisonburg must be
built by other parties. In his remarks to
the meeting, he gave fattering assurance Of
the early completion Of this link Of the
great Valley chain, and seemed to enter
tain no doubt of the construction Of the
entire line to Salem within the next four
or FIVE years.

The Times Before the War.
AY ED. F. MoREHEAp.


81 AY ED. +. MOREHEAp.
There's song Of music ringing
Like an anthem from afar;
And voice for ever singing
Oh! the times before the warl
BY his blasted hearth, the farmer
Counts the pulses Of his care;
Till he feels his heart grow warmer
With the times before the war.
Brighter pictures bring him treasure
OF delight in memory's car;
And the eye o'erbrims with pleasure
Seeing times before the war.
Then, the smoke Of peace and plenty
Wreathed its way to every star;
Heart elate to labor bent he
In the times before the war.
Now the vagrant acres round HIM
Every sense of pleasure mar;
And he weeps the hopes that crowned him
In the times before the war.
At his counter, dust-invaded.
Like tempest-shattered spar,
Sits the merchant, memory shaded,
By the times before the war.
Then with every gale OF ocean,
Came his vessels from afar:
Gladness ruled each bosom motion,
In the days before the war.
Now, the columned figures spell him,
And his lips are wide ajar;
As Of wasted wealth they tell him,
Earned in times before the war.
Obi the times before the war,
Like bright illusion shines!
Oh the times before the war,
Like golden sun declines!

Particulars or the Late Massacre OF
U. ). Troops.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com.
mercial in Dakotah Territory writes as fol.
lowe TO that Journal:
II appears that a detachment had been
ssni Jul from Fort Phil kearney TO procure
ruel, ana that they were surprised by Indi-
ans and compelled TO beat hasty retreat in
TO the Fort, the Ia dams following them I'M
VI they came within stones throw of the
lot The troops stationed at Kearney
were soon concentrated, and prepared for i'm
mediate pursuit. Only small party of In
alnns were seen at first, and thus slIured
our troops to chase them for a mile or two,
and until they came up to the main body OF
indians, which numbered over 1900 warri.
ors from every known tribe in this section
OF America.
1t is easily to DO seen that the smaller
party OF Indians were acting as decoy, and
that they knew well the snare they were
running their Inflated victims into The In.
disns presented themselves in battle array,
and with yell such as only indians eau ut
Ter, they commenced. Our troops com.
meneed firing nor did they cease until they
had expended every cartridge in their pos.
session. aud, unfortunately, without doing
my "hVlhl uhuiage 70 tue Indians.
The Indians, pereelying the fix our troops
were IN, commenced massing themselves,
gradually closing in upon their victims, and
In fifteen minutes not white soul VIVA leh
breathing. Not one Of the whole party of
o. :. troops aud citizens, was lief to bear the
woetul news.
A nneheman living in the vicinity Of
Fort Phi. Kearney, brought the news into
