The decentralization Conventions.
CHARLESTON, January 81. Nothing
of general importance was done in
the Convention to-day. Adjourned
to- Monday. $4,000 in State bills
have been received from the State
Treasurer, for expenses of members
of the Convention.
RALEIaH, January 31.-The Con-
.vention yesterday adopted, with
slight amendments, the. article on
Governor and other Executive State
Officers, as reported. A committee
of five was raised to report names of
persons entitled to be relieved from
political disabilities. To-day, the
report of the Committee on Militia
was considered in Committee of the
Whole; it requires every able-bodied
male citizen, between the ages of
twenty-one and forty years, without
distinction of color, to perform mill
tia duty, except those who have reli-
gious scruples. The reporter of the
new Daily Cdrolinian was expelled

report. The Convention, by q test
vote, laid Mr., Durham's resolution,
in favor of general amnesty, upon
the table.

preparation of the amount, when
paid, to the payment of the public
debt OF Virginia.

PoroMAc SLATE.-It gives US pleasure to
note that the excellent slate now being quarrled
at the mines Of the Potomac Slate Company,
in Prince William county, near Neabsco, Is
already coming into use. We have before
stated that several buildings in this place and
neighborhood are to be covered with it; and
that it is pronounced by competent judges to
be equal, if not superior, to any slate hereto
fore in use in these parts; aud that the attcn-
ton of builders far abroad was attracted to it.
We learn, with satisfaction, that the officers OF
the O., A. g. M. r. r. have ordered the fine
new depot building to be erected at Harrison
burg, to be, covered with this slate, and that in
the erection of other buildings along the line
the same roofing material will be used. This
slate quarry, so near at hand, should be another
source of prosperity to Alexandria, as it must
be the point from which large quantities will
in all probability, be shipped. ~. j.

| FRIENDSHIP STEAM. FIRE ENGINE.
steam fire engine of the Friendship company
was inspected and tried on Saturday evening
last, at the corner of King and Fayette streets,
in the presence Of numerous spectators, among
whom were the Chief Engineer of the Fire De-
partment of Washington city, the Fire Com
missioners, Councilman N. Sardo, and two fire
engineers from the same city, and the Chlet
Engineer Of the Alexandria Fire Department.
The Friendship company not having the hose
requisite to make thorough trial, q sufficient
quantity kindly furnished by the Washington
Fire Commissioners, was: brought here in the
charge of the Chief Engineer Of the depart
ment of that city. The engine having remain
ed in the house for the last eight months,
unused, the result Of the trial was not as salts
factory as it might have been, but repairs will be
commenced at once, aud another inspection be
held, it is supposed, sometime during the cur
rent week. The Washington city visitors were
entertained by the Friendship company.
! It was announced short time since that an
injunction would be applied for by the company
to prevent the sale of their engine, advertised
to take place on the 3lst instant, but it is now
understood, however, that the proposed sale
will not be Interrupted.

THEO.. A. &M. r. R.-The work Of track
laying on the Manassas Branch Of the o., A.
& M. R. R. is progressing rapidly, and by to-
morrow or the next day, it is is expected that
the trains will be running to Timberville.-
From that point to Harrisonburg as many
hands as can. be proftably employed, are at
work, and the road will, in the opinion of the
engineer in charge, be completed to Harrison
burg between the lst and 10th Of December,
by which time fine brick depot building will
have been erected there, the ground having
been laid off and the contract for the work
given out, On the opening OF the road to the
heart of the great Valley of Virginia. thereby
giving direct connexion with one Of the finest
ports in the State, the good people OF HARRISON
burg and the surrounding country intend to
appropriately celebrate the occasion, and to ex'
tend an invitation to our people to participate
in the festivities of the day. Their feelings
are with and for us, they desire that Alex
andria shall be their market and shipping port,
and to this end they are anxious to become &C.
quainted with our merchants and business men,
and to throw the great bulk Of the trade OF
that fertile and favored region into the lap OF
Alexandria, to help to build her up and make
her what she ought to be-the finest CONNER
cial city in the State. 1t is to be hoped that
everything that our people can do to induce
and secure this rich prize, will be done, and
that when both parties are willing and anxious
to renew former commercial relations, nothing
whatever will be done to hinder the consumma-
ton of the desired end. Let Alexandria be made
the market for the Valley.
