For The Spectator.
1ur County Roads


Mr.. EDToR.-lt is true we have much, so
very much, to occupy our attention, in these
trying times, that this subject may be regarded
by many as too trivial to waste thought upon.
But as we are endeavoring to recover our con-
dition before the war, in almost every respect,
it certainly will not be argued that our roads
are unnecessary to that end. 10 a stranger
from one Of the States North Of us, Pennsylva-
MIA for instance, who may pass through our
county, in any direction, will conclude We are
rapidly approaching that normal condition,
when sleds only were used and tobacco hogs
heads were rolled to market. Where is the
blame to lie for a want Of better roads? Is it
in the system, Or the shameful manner in which
it is carried out? 1t rests at the door of both,
but as no hope of a change can be entertained,
can not the present system be improved? Tn,
questionably it can. Ii the County Court, aid
ed by the Attorney for the Commonwealth,
would scan more closely the character and quail
iication of the surveyors appointed, the first
step would be taken To travel over the coun
ty just after the lst Of June, Or LIST Of Novem-
her, and see the manner in which some OF our
most important roads are worked, you would
conclude that some Of our surveyors had not
been gifted with quantum of brains equal to
that contained in the head of that famous bird
which, by its cacLling, on certain night, saved
the city Of Rome from pillage and destruction.
But | want to enlist the attention OF Court sur
veyors and people on this subject, and will re-
cur to it, with YOUR permission, again.

Editorial COmmunIous,

The communion of the Editors Of the Con
servatiye Press Of this State, at the Editorial
Convention in the Ballard House in Richmond
on Thursday last, was Of the most pleasant
character. We are confident that it will be
productive of good results and are pleased that
a Convention Of those who weld such potent
influence was called Besides the political ben
eft which will result to the State directly from
this conference, there are others which will be
productive of much good. Such communions
should be held frequently. By that means, the
Editors would not only become acquainted with
each other, but strong personal friendships
would be established, and the result would be
that less asperity and more amenity, less harsh
criticism and more courtesy would characterize
the editorials Of the Press-political discussions
would be conducted in better spirit, and DIFF
ferences of opinion be more charitably consid-
cred. We would invite the attention Of the
Editors of the State to this view of the subject.
We think that such meetings should be held at
least as often as once year. We believe they
would be productive Of much good, and there
fore we raise our voice in favor Of such COM
munions. We would not restrict them to the
secular Press, but would include the religious
journals. What say our friends of the Press ?
Do you vote aye or nay? We now move that
we hold annual meetings Carried unanimous
IN. "When shall we meet again?

For the Spectator,

[ have been placed upon the committee to
canvas the county in favor Of a subscription by
the people Of $500, 900 to the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad, without my consent.
In view of the embarrassed and impoverished
condition Of our people, in my opinion it would
be unWise for them to assume, at present. any
additional burdens
First and most of all, we want repose from
the mad and reckless party striles which have
continued to agitate and distract our beloved
country. When wicked party struggles for po-
litical ascendancy shall subside, and a patriotic
devotion to the best interests Of our country
shall have taken their place-when law and or
der shall be re established and we once more
become a united people under the sacred pro-
visions of our constitution and when we have
regained our liberty, and the blessings of peace
return to abide with us, we may embark in pub
lie enterprises, and devote our surplus means,
fire haze any, to grand schemes Of internal
improvement. But can railroads relieve US from
grinding despotism, or return US to a voice in
the government, or add one guarantee to any
one Of our rights as free people? And with
out security for life, liberty and property, what
use have we for railroads?

MEssRs. MAUzY & Co. = Gentlemen Y gu
will please discontinue the advertisement ofmy
stolen mare. Send me my bill Of charges, and
[ will send you ''check" for the same. sent
the Lynchburg Nelcs check for their bill sew
eral days ago. My mare was discovered IN the
county Of Buckingham, through my ADVERTISE
ment in the Lynchburg Ne.cs. Every man
having horse stolen in the Valley ought to
advertise the fact in one of the Valley papers,
one Of the Lynchburg papers, one OF West If
ginia, and one of the Richmond papers, thus
securing circulation so searching that the
thief can scarcely escape detection ladvertls-
ed in your paper and the Lynchburg Neacs, and
sent a number of Hand bills over the State,
thus my mare was secured. | think it the duty
of every man recovering stolen horse to let
the people know by what means he succeeded,
and thus give aid in putting stop to the great
and annoying crime Of horse-thieving.
Yours &C., NJ. W. D. HOGsHEAD.
