AN EXAMPLE WORTHY OF IM1TAToN.-h
former fellow.townsman, in forwarding his
marriage notice for publication in the Gazette,
sets an example worthy elimination by all who
enter into the ''bissful bonds" and are de-
serving of happy future. He writes:
Enclosed please find marriage notice, also
one dollar (greenback) to pay for same, the
usual fee in New Orleans. [ send this with
much pleasure, particularly, as read short
time since in copy Of the Gazette, that the
paper since its establishment had never recelv-
ed any pay for such insertions: | think its pa;
irons should be liberal on such occasions, and
as have been almost a constant reader OF the
Gazette ever since I knew how to read, and
feel anxious for it's continued prosperity, trust
my example may be followed to the profit OF
your good self and associates. ;"

| A. L. & n. f.. CONVENTION WITH
GEoReEroWN.-The following letter from
Georgetownis published in the. " ashington
,star.--ssAre we to have a railroad?" This is
the auery that meets US on every hand, and
We do not hesitate to answer, emphatically,
eyes we are. % The people of Georgetown
seem at last to have awakened to the conVlc-
tion that their only nope of redemption depends
upon the speedy establishment OF one or more
railroad connections with the outside business
world. And now that our citizens seem of
but one mind on that subjectsthe next question
that presents itself is, in what direction can we
operate to the greatest advantage The opin.
ion seems to prevail that the most feasible and
eligible route with which to connect ourselves
at present is the A., i. & Fl. road, the dis
lance being short, the cost would be compare
lively small and the time but brief for Its COM
pletion, provided the most direct route be
chosen. But let us by all means have the
most direct route, especially it such connection
can be shown to- be the most advantageous as
wellas the most economical. We regret to see
disposition manifested by our Corporation
committee, in their interview the other day
with the directors of the Loudoun road, to be
unwilling to tap that road at any other than
very remote point, say Falls Church, from, we
suppose, the dread that the interests of George
town would be jeoparized were we to connect
at a point nearer Alexandria. Have. the
Georgetown people such horror Of the enter
prise of Alexandria that they must needs ex'
pend three times the amount necessary tor
direct connection with the Loudoun road, IN
order to avoid competition with such finished
city? We have no such fear. Georgetown can
obtain an arrangement by which trains can be
forwarded here without delay: and as we can
afford better market than Alexandria for
nine tenths OF the articles that are sent from
tho Loudoun region, they will mutually be for
Warded here. Besides, if We strike the Lou;
doun road at Falls Church will we be benefited
by such a connection by any other than the
Virginia roads No! That local connection
would be all; but if We enter near Alexandra
we will be brought into immediate union with
tie Orange and Alexandria road, the Manassas
Gap, and with the railroad system of the South
and before long, if it seems desirable and we
should consent that such a route shall pass
through our corporate limits, "sour road may
become the great point Of CONNECTION between
the North and South. FINISHED city !" We
will see. Better market, I've will see to that,
too. Let il pass uo1V. a5#sn

ARA1LRoAD CAsE.-The LYnchburg Vir-
ginian, of this morning, contains the tol-
lowing notice of legal case that was argued
before Judge Spence, of that city, on Saturday
evening last: @a22 E5ta
!ssThe plaintiffs, Geo. D. Davis and John E.
Slaughter, are coupon creditors OF the Orange
and Alexandria railroad company to the amount
of $4,000 They brought suit upon the coupons
and got Judgment They they garnisheed funds
of the Orange and Alexandria railroad com pany
10 the hands of the First National Bank of
Lynchburg, and the Virginia and Tennessee
railroad company. The trustees in the mort
gage deeds of the Orange and Alexandria rail-
road company filed bill of injunction, stating
that the funds attached in the hands OF the
garnishees consisted of tolls, incomes and re-
ceipts of the Orange and Alexandria railroad
company, and that inasmuch as the tolls, in
comes and receipts of the company had been
conveyed to the trustees, in the mortgage deeds,
consequently they were protected from the lien
of the plaintiffs Judgment by the prior liens of
the mortgage deeds. The bill of injunction
therefore prays that the plaintiffs be perpetual
ly restrained and inhibited from proceeding
under their judgments at law, and that the
funds which had been attached IN the hands OF
the garnishees, be PAID over to the tru'tees OF
to the Orange and Alexandra railroad com
pauy. The plaintiffs then move to dissolve
the Injunction on the ground that the Orange
and Alexandra railroad company had no right
to convey their tolls, incomes and receipts, to
trustees at all, and upon other grounds. The
argument Saturday was upon the motion to
dissolve the injunction, and also upon the gen
eral merits of the cause. The style OF the
chanccry cause is Marbury, &C., trustees, VS.;
Orange, Alexandria and Manassas railroad
company, ct al.
"The case was ably argued by Mr.. r: {. t.
Kean and Mr.. r. r.. Craighill Tor the plaintiffs
and Major Garland and Mr.. r. A. Coghlll tor
the railroad company. The Judge reserved
