VALLEY RAILROAD ELECTION |!

It appearing to the satisfaction of the last Coun-
ty Court, that the vote taken under former Or
der of the Court to a subscription on behalf of
this County to the Stock of this Road was a very
small one owing to the inclemency of the wealth
er and that there were some Irregularities in TAX
ing and returning the Polls, leaving it very
doubtful whether the subscription had been car
ried or defeated; and the Court deeming it pro-
per under the circumstances, that another OPP
portunity should be afforded for fair and full
expression Of the sentiments of the voters of the
County, have ordered another Election to be
hold, on Saturday, February 6th 1869. The

In his paper OF the 18th inst, he says:
'iStaunton is the victim of too much brains
in fact it labors under atumefaction of intellect.
SANDY Stuart, John Baldwin and John Echols

mighty minds to remain in contact, there is no
telling when and how often we will be suddenly

be separation. Staunton must divide out her
riches. We in Orange would like to have John
