profitable connections with our people, and our

Wecopy the following from the Shenandoah.

sat last the Manassas Road has tapped the
main valley of Virginia. Its reconstruction
has been slow, and greatly retarded for many
reasons but after a flying trip over. the road,we
feel warranted in announcing its .reopening to
the valley. Oniour return some ten days ago,
We came up TO the head of the track, within q
halfmile Of North River bridge, and about q
miles from Strasburg, On the material train.
Since then the work has been progressing as
well as could be expected under all the circum
stances, and will probably be completed to
Strasture, during the coming week. Stras-
burg, situated On the Valley pike, In this coun-
ty,and the first point.on that great thorough
fare reached by the Manassas road, will be for
short umethe depot for the tradesof the val,
ley, and then for the first time since before the
war, this trade wilistake its old and natural
channel to Alexandria, which, on account Of its
shipping advantages offers inducements over
manyof the Northern cities. The grain and
-four market has been a shade better in this
city than in Baltimore, and wholesale dealers
assure US that they can sell as cheap as the
same dealers in other cities Alexandria is
looking I'D. We, were pleased with its city
like and business appearance. Although gar.
risoned and overrun by !. Federal soldiers, and
made government depot of during the war,
and its geographical location so close to the
Federal capital, yetit has preserved its South
ern character, and to-day it is truer and more
identified with Southern interests than maay
towns and cities further South. 4
