MORE RAECALITY.

Mr.. J. V. Undcrdunk, one Of the registrars
at Shepherd5town, has, we understand, refused
registration to two negroes who have an
nounced their intention to vote the Conscrv-
alive ticket, and with no other palpablc reason
than for the annunciation Of Conservative
principles. Thus We have in our own midst
an example of what is occurring daily all over
the country. AS long as the negro is willing
to remain the plant tool of these dirty dogs,
and stand as the step stone upon which they
may ascend to Office, all well and good but
the moment he asserts his right to vote what
ever ticket he may choose, then he, as we'll as
the white man, is prescribed and disfran-
chised. But there is a remedy, and We expect
to see it applied.

REGISTRATION!

In consequence of unforeseen circum>
stances, the registration Office will not be open
in this place to-day, as stated in our last, but
we have been authorized to say that Mr.. E. J.
Williams, the Registrar for this township, will
open the books for registration TO-MOR-
ROW, at the room adjoining the hardware
store of Maj. Jas. Law, Hoof. We fear that
many of our citizens have not been fully
aroused to the Importance of this matter, but
have gone on in the old dont-care style, which,
if continued in, will permit another election
to go by default, and our political letters to be
drawn another notch tighter. The Radical
party of this county is the most corrupt and
vicious political band of men ever associated
together in a common cause of oppression and
tyranny, and do not mean to allow one oppor-
tunity for the accomplishment of their petty
party ends to go by uuimproved, but will
stoop to the lowest depths of political infamy
to retain the power now in their possession
beware then, Democrats and Conservatives of
Jefferson! Remember that "etarnal vigilance
is the price of liberty" and never cease your
labors until every freeborn white citizen of
this Commonwealth is at least placed on q
level with the untuortcd African, or the carpet
Dagger from abroad.
Register, and Vote!

FRIDAYS NEWS.

FRIDAY . NEWS.
A later Prussan account of the fight at Saar-
brucken puts down their loss at two officers aud
seventy.nine men. The French loss appeared
to be more serious.
1t is rumored that the grand forward move
ment is fixed for Saturday next. A Prussian
force has advanced across the frontier, dri-
yiug the French posts before them and de-
stroying miles of the railroad between Lux
emburg and Strasburg. The French loss was
heavy, including many prisoners.
The Belgian Government, it is said, accept
the first satisfactory offer for the performance
of mail service between Antwerp and New
York in place of that lately performed by the
North German Lloyds.
The Government of Portugal has issued q
decree declaring the neutrality of that King
dom.
The sympathy with France continues very
great in Denmark and it is hard struggle
with the Government to preserve its neutrality.
1t was stated in the House Of Lords last
night that the full details of what had taken
place concerning the recent negotiations were
nearly ready to be submitted to the House,
when the Government would be prepared for
debate. The Clerical Disabilities bill was
passed, and one for the organization of the
militia forces ofthe country was presented and
read the first time.

COST OF OUR ROAD.

From the last number Of the Berkeley
Union we make the following extract -
Now, we hear the average cost per mile of
that road will be S54 GOO, (tlis is hear say,)
and we are also told that the Martinsburg and
Winchester route will only cost 1923, coo per
milo, including depot buiIdnds, switches, &c.
These figures certainly show where the money
is to be saved. Still, we are not jealous of our
Jefferson neighbors, only we don't want them
to throw stones at our road.
This is a fine Misrepresentation of facts
We stated last week, in our correction of the
remarks of Mr.. BOteler, as published in the
Register, Cand VIC have an idea that the editors
of the Union saw the article, that the state
mcnt that "thc first mile from the river would
cost S57 600, must be undoubtedly typo
graphical error Of the Rcgi$tcy as we are as
surod by competent authority that S57, 600 is
about 10000 in excess of the actual esti-
mated COST"
In the last number of the Register, Mr.
Boteler authorizes the correction Of the state
ment himself, as will be seen by the following
from that paper -
Mr.. BoteIcr desires us to correct the state
ment, in our report Of his speech upon the oc.
casion Of the serenade to HIM, last week, that
the first mile of our Railroad from this place
Southwark, will cost $4,000 tho actual
estimate for it being only SIT, 000, and Sl97,-
0G0 for the cost Of construction across the
county, irrespective of the rails.
How about your cheap road now?

NO REGISTRATION IN AVERILL.

The registration books, we understand, have
not been opened in Averill township. A man
by the name Of Lewis was appointed registrar
for that township but be is unknown in that
section, (probably carpet-bagger), and has
not been heard Of This is another of the
mean, low, contemplate and high-handed
tricks of the Radical party in this county, and
if there is any law to cover the case, and we
think there is, our friends in that locality
should not permit such acts to so unpublished.
But in the event that this scheme is carried
out, and norcgistration takes place in Averill,
we would urge upon the Democrats and Con-
servativcs of that township not to permit the
election to go b. default, but let every man
who is entitled to vote appear before the
County Board of Registration at its next
meeting, and see thai ks name is pui upon the

A barbecue was held on Saturday, the 3Oth
of July, at the Fair Ground near Staun>
ton, in furtherance of the proposed subscrip-
ton of $500, 900 toward constructing the Val
ley railroad. Fully 1000 persons were pre-
sent, one, third ofthem ladies. Speeches were
made by Gov. Letcher, Col, Hartman, Maj. Su-
therlin, Judge Shefey, And. Hunter, Esq,
General Echols, Hon. John T. Harris, Maj.
Dorman and others. Letters were read from
General Jubal A. Early, Commodore Maury,

desire for the Office, and would much prefer
that it should be conferred on some other gen.

to the interests to the Valley and of the
whole State that when the company is fully
organized if they desire my services as presi-
dent, and think proper to make such arrange
ments as may render my acceptanc of the
position not Incompatible with my present
duties, I shall be willing to accept the control
of the road, and to use what energy and abll-
ity I may possess in furthering the speedy CON-
pletion of the work.

any means of assuaging the distress of body

household2
Millions of men have been benefited by its
use, but among the feeble and sicky OF the
opposite gender, who, perhaps, need it most,
its virtues are not so widely known. This
foremost remedy of the age-this specific for
every species of debility, general or local con-
stitutional or casual, is PLANTATION BITTERs.
One right of woman, at least, will be conceded
the right Of strengthening herselfe to sus'
tain the ills of which the laws of nature have
made her the unfortunate heiress.
The acknowledged healthfulncss, unrivaled flavor,

WEDNESDAYS NEWS.

Orders have been issued for the active re-
cruiting of the English marine service. 1t is
said that but for the arrival of the French
fleet in the Baltic the Prussians would have
advanced directly upon Paris.
Continual skirmishing in small way was
going on along the Rhine, the object being
mainly, it is supposed, to accustom the troops
to the sight and fire of the enemy.
Denmark and sweden are said to be in entire
accord on the subject of the great war.
It is reported that since he has been with
the army the Emperor keeps one telegraph
wire busy with correspondence with the
Empress.
A despatch from Paris gives the official an
nouncement OF serious engagement with the
Prussians. The attack was made by the
French army, who invaded the territory of
Prussia and, according to the account, were
present, accompanied by the Prince Imperial,
who received on this, the first battle field, "his
baptism of fire."
Tho scene at the departure of King William
from Berlin is described as having been most
extraordinary. The people seemed to be
frenzied with enthusiasm. The entire Court,
ladies and all, mingled with the crowd, par
ticipated in its emotion and babe the King
sgood bye" with every demonstration of loyal
ty and devotion.
In the House of Commons Mr.. Gladstone,
in reply to question, said that he was unable
to submit the correspondence of the late Lord
Clarendon, urging disarmament it was mex
pedient even to repeat its purport. 1t was
remarked that further remonstrance on the
part of England now can only exasperate both
Powers, and the only course is to seek a safe
opportunity for renewed efforts in favor of
peace. The treaties and guarantees for the
neutrality of Belgium and Luxembourg were
presented. The Greek question was referred
to, and question answered as to the desorip-
ton of arms used by the British regulars
A discussion then arose on the proposition to
increase the regular army by 10000 men and
its importance, in view of the weakness of the
country, urgently pressed.
1t is said that England will make no engage
ments with other Powers regarding the pres
ervation of her neutrality.
The French troops from Rome are arriving
at Marseillcs.
1t is said that the italian army will enter
Rome as soon as the French withdraw, on the
plea of protection. Its strength is to be in
creased to 10000 men.
