bacon are also shipped In the surrounding
country the finest fruit is grown, and the best
quality of iron is found in abundance. All
these products, or the larger portion of them,
will find an outlet to market by the Orange,
Alexandria and Manassas Railroad if the Dan
vile extension should be made, thereby greatly
increasing its revenue.
Jas. Barbour thought that OF all the enter
prises in which this company had engaged, the
Danville extension was the most vital. AS fol-
any strife with Gen. Malone or Col. Buford,
they were 'trifes light as air, and would
vanish with the progress of the road. 1t was
the life of the company to enter into enterprises
regardless of strife, and it would be found in
the future, as it had been In the past, thai
those with whom there was most conten'
ton, would prove the best friends and great
est auxiaries of the road.
The remarks of Messrs. Clark and Barbour
were received with applause.

posed at the last meeting, was laid on the table

FRIDAY.

The stockholders re-assembled at y o'clock
Col. Williams in the chair, when, Mr.. Davis,
of Abemarle, from the committee to whom
was referred the report of the President, with
the accompanying documents, submitted the
following report:
The committee to whom was referred the
official reports placed before the meeting, beg
leave to say that they have examined the same
with some degree of attention, and find In them
evidences of undiminished fidelity to the inter
es.s of the company. The drawbacks upon
the prosperity OF this road, in the shape OF in
iurious determinations made by connecting
roads, seem to have been met with steady
and iudicious protest 1t seems TO the COM
mittee that the efforts to coerce trade over the
Chesapeake and Ohio Road to Richmond, or
along the South Side roads to Norfolk are
hostile to the spirit Of the age, as well as to
the interests of this company. The barriers
thus created can only be maintained by jealous
and uuremitting precautions, and irritating re-
strictions. They must ultimately give way
before public opinion aud commercial necessi-
ties 1t is apprehended that the financial as
nect of these reports belong more peculiarly
to another committee, and as the interesting
question, growing out of the Lynchburg and
Dauville road, and our proposed relations
thereto, are the subjects of special reference,
the committee deem it unnecessary to go into
further detail.
On motion the report was accepted.
THE DANVILLE EXTENSION.
James Barbour, from the committee to whom
was referred that portion of the report of the
President, relating to the Danville extension,
submitted the following:
The stockholders Of this company recognize
the great Importance TO the interests OF this
company of the early construction of the
Iynchburg aud Danville Railroad, and declare
their purpose to unite in the prosecution of
that work with the communities Immediately
interested therein; therefore,
Resolred That the President and Directors OF
this company. be, and are hereby authorized
and empowered to make such subscription to
the capital stock of the Lynchburg and Dan
company such aid as may, IN their Judgment,
promote the interests of this company.
The vote was then taken on the adoption OF
the report, and it was UNANIMOUSLY adopted.
Mr.. Clark, Of Danville, by invitation, gave q
very interesting account of the trade and COM
merce of his town. and the products of the
country from which it draws its supplies He
stated that from Danville, last year, were ship
ped $4,000 boxes of manufactured tobacco,
Is, 900 hogsheads of leaf, and %, 900 hogsheads
of stems. Large quantities of corn, wheat and

Coal. What makes coal so high? is the
question everywhere. 1t is not deficient sup
ply nor is it ia consequence of lack Ofmen to
work the mines. nor have the rates Of transpo
tation much increased Neither is there pros
pect of any check in the liberality of the yield.
The rise, therefore seems to be due entirely
to speculative causes, which is further evil
denced by the fact that without any increase
of supply, indeed in face of the probable speedy
closing Of navigation, thereby cutting it off en-
tirely, prices are actually coming down, and il
is generally expected that the rates will be
much lower at the next than at the last Scran-
ton sale; in fact the market is now anticipating
this result The Philadelphia Ledger says
the demand is Stacking off a little, and the
price of stove and egg coal has recedcd, in or
der to keep the trade moving. The fall in
stove from the highest point has reached near
ly two dollars a ton Washington Star.

EMIGRATIoNFR FROM PENNsYLyANIA.-A
number Of families have emigrated from the
southern counties Of this State this year, aud
taken up their residences in Maryland, Virgin
ia, and other Southern States We learn from
Maryland that two hundred persons from q
single county in Pennsylvania will settle in
Caroline county, in that State, this year, and
that a majority of them have already purchased
lands and gone thither. The sudden flow of
emigration to Maryland and the Shenandoah
valley has had tendency to increase the price
of property there very rapidly recently. We
heard OF one instance last week where, less
than eighteen months ago, Il gentleman from
Dauphin county was offered a tract Of land of
over three hundred acres, near Winchester, at
twenty dollars an acre, which he refused to
give. The same tract sold few days ago for
one hundred dollars per acre, an increase Of
over three hundred per cent. Instances of this
description are undoubtedly rare, but this one
sale shows the prosperous condition of por-
ton of Virginia which suffered terribly from
the war Harrisburg Telegraph.

SACRIFICE OF LAND IN North CAROLINA
The Weldon News says:-"It is surprising
to know the immense quantity of land in this
immediate section which has changed hands
within the last twelve months, under executions
and which is still in the market. The matter
is conducted in such a manner that but few
outside of those Immediately interested know
anything of it, and we do not ourselves know
of one-tenth of the sales that have taken place.
Under existing laws, it is only necessary for the
lie places, the sale is made under the hammer,
of sale is given, and thus men are made poor
and homeless in few days. And still these ex-
ecutions are showered out by the dozen. We
long for the day when our people can feel safe
