WASHINGTON, January s.-The Vir-
GINA committee had private meeting
last night, at which they formally or
ganized. The proceedings were con-
fined to a general exchange of views,
delivered in a colloquial and informal
manner. Although the programme is
considered settled, the committee will
remain in permanent organization, keep.
ing quorum of this body here until
something is accomplished for the relief
of the State. They have pledged
themselves to allow no discouraging or
untoward events to deter them from the
earnest and persistent pursuit of the
object in view. No changes. will be made
in the committee A letter having been
received from Wendell Robinson, stating
that although he had bees detained, he
would soon arrive, the committee will
meet tomorrow at 8 o'clock, sRd remain
ia full session till Wednesday next, when
all but quorum will go home, with the
understanding that some will return and
relieve those here on duty, thus keeping
constantlyin session, and prepared to take
advantage of any circumstances which
may arise toward gaining the object of

The New Road.

1t will be seen from the proceedings Of
the County Commissioners that the sub.
scription asked for by the President aud
Directors Of the Mississippi railroad has
been voted to the extent Of $500, 900. II
is suggested that during the considera.
ton of the subject the only opposition
which was made apparent arose from
personal hostility to Mr.. Mitchell, the
President Of the road. We have heard
Of similar opposition to the Selma road
on account of the connection of General
Forrest Herewith. This is all wrong,
come from whence il may. We
cannot get along without bury
ing the past as to all, who as good
citizens, are engaged and efficient in en-
terprises for the public good. That Mr..
Mitchell was Unionist, and that Gen.
Forrest was Confederate is equally nc
fault. That one is Republican and the
other Democrat is not the matter with
which We are concerned. The question
is one of qualifications alone. No one
doubts the executive ability Of Gen. For
rest for one road. and there is no more
reason to doubt the fitness Of Mr.. Nit
chell for the other. he is quiet and M
ostentstious man. BE is not the less eff
Gent because be makes no large preten'
tious. Men who make "big blow" gene
rally make but "a small show" We under.
stand Mr.. Mitchell is an experienced
railroad man. And be has certainly
proved bis zeal in this matter BY his un-
faltering efforts for several years. and
his completely BY bis success. BE has
not only the support of the Board Of Di-
reetoss. but that s!so Of the intelligent
and influential citizens along the line
of the road, whose eOn6dencs be has; be
has obtained the charter By personal sx-

NORFOLK, January 9.-Details of the
negro troubles near Kempsville, in Prn-
cess Anne county, have been received.
Lieut.. Farragut and force of whites,
en- route to the farm occupied by negro
squatters, who were to be elected, passed
an armed force of seventy FIVE negroes
in the woods, who made no demonstra-
ton. On nearing the farm fresh num-
Der, variously armed, retreated 10 house,
which was surrounded. Sergeant Cullen
advanced to the door and was instantly
shot, which so infatuated the troops that
they returned the Are, and rushing into
the house, bayoneted one or two negroes.
Three were killed outright. The troops
were Withdrawn after effeeting the arrest
Of one or two Of the ringlsaders. A
delegation Of negroes then waited on the
officers aud demanded the captured men
which was refused. The spokesman
then reiterated that If that was the way
things we're going on, every white man
would be run out Of the country. The
citizens Of Kempsville picketed the vii
lage, the woods being filled with armed
negroes. This morning they had disap-
pesred, and with view to more speedy
psciacstion, the troops returned to the
city. Approximations are still enter
tanned of renewal, and great ex-
ciiement continues. Battery A, Fifth
ARTILLERY, arrived here yesterday to re-
inforce the troops. A negro named
Hodges, formerly member of the Con-
stitutional Conventional reported to have
occasioned the resistance to the civil au-
thorities by an inaammstory speech, in
which be told them to hold on to the
