Important Railroad Contract.

The following, from the Philadelphia En-
quiirer of the 22d ultimo, gives synopsis of
aims and objects of the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad Company -
An important railroad contract was conclu-
ded at the Girard House, in this city, yester-
day, by A. K. Mcclure, counsel for the Cen
trail Improvement Company, with the Sheu-
andoah Valley Railroad Company. The I'M
provement Company have contracted to con-
struct the Shenandoah Valley RAILROAD; in
GLIDING superstructure, stations, and every
thing ready for the equipment, from the Po-
tomac river, at or near Shepherdstown, by way
of Charlestown, Front Royal, Luray, Fishers
vile, Lexington and Buchanan, to the Vir-
gnia and Tennessee Railroad, near Salem.
distance Of 233 miles, and to complete the
same within two years.
The contracting parts is made up of strong
railroad men, and they will be able to prose.
cute this important enterprise with the utmost
vigor. The Cumberland Valley Railroad will
be promptly extended from Hagerstown to
Shepherdstown, a distance of but thirteen
allies, and thus connect the Shenandoah Val
ley Road with the Cumberland Valley and
Pennsylvania Central. 1t is the purpose of
the managers of the Shenandoah Valley to ex-
tend their road as speedily possible through
the Clinch and Holster Valleys, through a
country of boundless mineral resources, to Kox-
vile and connect with the network of rail-
roads radiating from that point, and also ex-
tending their line from the Clinch Valley,
through Pond Gap, to connect with the Ken
lucky system of railroads, thereby making al.
most air line from Memphis to Philadelphia
and New York.

Quincy granite, and after being once heat ed, is good for nothing but rubbish. Not SO with stones from Mine Hill, Are has lit- tic or no effect on them. Mr. Bishops opinions, he says, were in advance of the people at that time. Perhaps so, but one whole generation has passed away since then, and with it many great and good men, who never once regretted tue part they took in subscribing, paying and loos- ing, the pitiful sum of $100, 900. What sum would compensate the people of the Hou- satonic Valley, should they be deprived of this road2 It is useless to dwell on that question, for no words of mine are ade. quate to the subject.
 We think very much alike on another point that 'railroads should be built where the most feasible routes are, and open the country to the interests of all classes" I think he must be aware that the features of the country between the Shepaug and New Milford forbid the building of Q road

 MR. ED1ToR:-The meetings alluded ,te in my communication last week, still con
 tinue in this place. Rev. Mir. Bailey preached on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday evenings. Rev. MT. Webster delivered very impressive sermon on Thursday even ing, to the largest audience we have had. The blessing of God has followed these ef, forts. Nearly every family has been visit ed by the influences of the Holy Spirit. And in some, every member has been con vsrted to God Many of the oldest mem- bersa of the church say. there has never been such time in Worthwhile since their remembrance.z Some gave their hearts to Christ the first night. after attending the meeting. Some past middle life have ac- cepted Christ as their Saviour. If these who have commenced to live a christian life will continue faithful, the future of Worthwhile will be promising indeed. The rum shop, here, which has for many years
 been curse to the community, is closed, we trust, forever. A large proportion of the young converts were members of the ssSons of Temperance" organization. And VIC think the influences which gathered around this Society prepared the people, in . measure, for this later work of God in this place. May this work go or, ,heres till
