read. under contract FROM Shepherdstown
on the Potomoc to Salem in the county
OF Roanoke, the point connecting with the
Virginia and Tennessee Read. The last
survey has been adopted as the most prac-
ticable route, which passes the by way of
Charlestown, Front Royal, Luray, Fishers
: vile, Lexington &c. Their engagement
is to complete the Road within two years,
with northern and southern connec-
ton. We: have no reason to doubt the
feasibility Of the plans andsincorely hope
it is not ~ advised plan to defeat the
vote of the upper counties on their sub
scription to the Valley Road from Har-
risonburg to Salem, Of which Con: L
E. Lee lis now rendered the presidency.
We can conceive no grandcr scheme
than the construction Of both Of these
roads, for the interest Of the Valley O.
Virginia. The one q grand trunk con-
ncction with the South and Philadel-
phia, the other with the same southern
connections to Baltimore. These roads
running parallel through the Valley, with
connections at Staunton, Front Royal,
Chariestown &C., give the people Of the
Valley the advantage Of competingf taris
and rival markets. Besides the facilities
afforded for the carrying of the products
of the section, they will furnish favora-
bic connection with the great coal fields,
which must eoaIsibato to the thorough
developement of the Valley manHfastGr

sequently other methods for deeper del

completion of these and other roads that
may be proposed in the State, until We

RALEIGH, July 28.--Goy. Holden re-
fused to deliver the prisoners arrested by
Z uk in Alarnance county on the mandate
of Chief Justice Pearson. The counsel
for the prisoners moved to attachlthe Gov
ernor. The motions was refused by the
Chief Justice. A motion next made to
attach Kirk was also refused A motion
to send the marshal Of the Supreme Court
to Kinks camp to bring the prisoners was
also refused, the Chief Justice saying it
would be idle, as the order would be
obeyed that the counsel for the priso-
ners might take it as a fact that the mar
shall had been sent and the prisoners not
surrendered. IF. as was said by the pris-
oner's counsel, they intend aa application
for relief, it should be made by them to

It is reported that the skirnlish Of the
26th gave some idea of the comparative

the affair, the test was not complete
The Prnssians commenced to fire at dis

fire fell short by one hundred metres.
The French fired almost simultaneously,
and some Prussians were killed.

There were the usual varieties ofrumors,
and among them one that the French fleet

Another French attack upon the Prussians
near Saarbrucken is reported as having
occurred during the day, resulting in the
repulsc Of the former. It IS stated tina,

War news generally yesterday was
chiefly confined to passing rumors and to
opinions of the press. An interesting
! ,.csG::iption of the preparations OF Prussia
for otre.siIee and defensive measures is
given by a spec:;..ll correspondent. Mr.
Gladstone, in the Brit,.~h House OF Com
mons, took occasion, in Tic course OF
debate on the war, to state that the toIicy
of the government was not one of armed
neutrality, but of friendship to both conf

The London Times, ia ondeavoring to
account for the sympathy shown in ire
land for the French, says it must be
attributed to Catholicism. Some. of our
Eastern and Western papers set it down
to the same cause. We do not agree
with our contemporaries; far one or two
reasons. In the fist place, the nominee
of Prussia for the Spanich throne is him
self a Catholic-so that really Catholic
sympathy is Running againt Catholic
king. And in the next, The people in
Iceland who attend massmeetng are bv
no means pleased with the Pope at the
present time, for the reason that he has
condemned Fenianism. Again, if we
may believe the cable, Napoleon intends
to withdraw the French troops from
Rone--a step by no means calculated to
endear him to Catholics. The true rcr-
son of Irish sympathy for France is hatred
of Engiand, and the expectation that an
Irish republic may be born in the event
of war between France and England. :

suspicion that he had come to Eanceyvilc

was so fragrant and outra geous that Kirk
was compelled to discharge the Captain.

acceptance of the Presidency, for we know
that his name will give confidence to the

other and foreign aid, and thus celebrate
its speedy completion. 1t is the natural
route through the Valley, and the great
