We hear from Florida that Mrs. Beech
er Stowe, the authorizes Of "Uncle Toms
Cabin, who ) year 81 two ago bougbtas
place on the ST. J ohp's river near Jack,
sonville, says she wants to live long
enough to write another book to correct
the mistakes Of" Uncle Tom,' and show
that great blunder was committed when
slavery was abolished. From original con-
dition Of sentimental attachment to the ne
gro she has lapsed into state Of uncon-
querable dislike and aversion. She will
not have them about her, either indoors
or out. She turned them all off her place,
and allows no one with black skin to ap-
proach her. We are told that an acquain-
lance of ours sought to send her message
by black stewardess on board steam
boat, but ste refused to allow the negro to
approach her. Her mind, as we have
been credibly informed, is very much in
famed against the negro and this, prob
ably, from comparing their efficiency and
aptitude as laborers and servants with that
Of the northern whites. Her fancy pic
ture Of the African has been spoiled, and
her sentimental affection has turned, in
consequence, to violent aversion. Like
Squeers, the milk Of human ,sympthy in
her bosom has, all turned to curds and
whey Macon (Gd.) Telegraph. aoea

Senator Morton is preparing to advocate
his financial views with persistency and
force next winter. He had an interview
with Secretary McCulIoch yesterday. and
discussed at much length points Of differ
ence between them. Morton argued that
the Government was not bound to pay off
6ve-twenties in coin, and should now be-
gin to redeem the issue Of 1862 with
greenbacks. Dir. McCulloch replied that
the Treasurer could not have sold these
bonds If it had been the understanding
that the principal could be paid in any
thing but coin. Senator Morton intends

~ The Pollard shooting affair. vi

D The Pollard shooting affair, whic b
occurred in Richmond on the oath, pit,
notice of which was published last week,
has attracted more than ordinary attention,
both from the press, and the expression of
individual opinion. The immediate cause
of the murder was an article published in
the Southern Opinion" rejecting upon
the character of sister of Grant, who shot
Pollard as he was walking to bis.of6ce, in
company with his associate editor. AT
ter the usual proceedings, before the Ma
yor, Grant was admitted to bail, in the
sum of $40, 900 to appear before Judge
Burcham's court, at its February term,
for trial. 1.a ts4. sr..,sr-...i.-- ~

New Public Road.

We are glad to see from our State ex-
changes. that the spirit of internal i'm
provement has taken possession of our
people, and instead Of bothering their
brains about improbable politics, have
given their attention to rebuilding up
their old State, and extending their
internal improvements. Certainly, this is
commcndible, especially as we can expect
nothing from political interference, and &C.
cording to the old axiom that self pres
ervation is the first law of nature" We
commend this spirit to our citizens.
A road is now proposed across North
and Paddy mountains to the fertile section
of West Virginia, known as the Capon
and Lost River Valleys, in Hardy county,
and perhaps the richest and most fertile
section of West Virginia. The projected
road has already been considered favora-
big By the county court of Hardy, and
viewers have been appointed by that court
to lay out the road, and to estimate its
probable cost; and the proposition made
to Shenandoah, that if the road will be
constructed on the East side, to the top OF
the Paddy mountain, distance of about
two miles from the old road, that the coun
ty Of Hardy will build the road from
these valleys to the top of said mountain,
on the west side. The probable cost o.
this road, to Shenandoah county, to build
the. two miles. will not exceed six hun
dred dollars whilst the advantage to the
county, and especially to the county,
seat, will be almost incalculable. The
whole trade of the South Branch, Lost
River, North River and Capon Valley
which now goes to New Creek and Win
chester, distance of from 40 to so miles
over much more Indifferent road, will
naturally turn to this place, distance Of
from fourteen to thirty miles, direct te
rail road communication. Any one ac-
quainted with that section of Hardy coun.
ty, and knowing it as it is, one Of the
most fertile and productive sections Of the
State. will See at once the policy and ne
cessity of this proposed road, as matter
of material advantage to this county. at !,
cost. too, SO Insignificant as not to war
rant discussion. Besides the great wealth
of trade to be diverted to this place, /:
wealthy company have purchased the Ca
pom Iron Works, on the line of this roac
to these Valleys, which, as we are infor
med by them. will be able to send off abou
fifteen thousand tons of Iron per annum
to this place, to be shipped to the north
ern cities, over this rail road an item il
itself which should elicit the considerable,
of the O. A. & NJ. Road, and perhaps al
investment would not be injudicially made
by this company, for this proposed road
We hope the matter will be properly dis
cussed, and that immediate action will b.
taken 10 the matter IF we desire buildin.
up or county. now is the time to see t.
it. Do not let few hundred dollars in
yestment deprive US of rich and anxiou
trade.
The matter will be brought to the at
tention of our court, and We hope they vii
be prepared for it.
