THE MARTINsBURG AND PoToMAC RAIL
RoAD.-We clip the following item of news
from the Martinsburg TuHcy Star, which
shows the necessity of our people giving a
free OF at least very liberal right of way =
ave learn that to-day, ut 10 o'clock, the
Board of Directors of the Cumberland VAL
ley Railroad, and also of the Pennsylvania
Central, convene in Philadelphia by previous
appointment. The object of this meeting of
the two Boards, is to determine. whether
Pennsylvania will extend her railroad connec-
tions south, through the Valley of Virginia,
by Nlartinsburg and Winchester, or by Shep.
herdstown, CharlestoUn and Berryville. Our
readers are aware that the road has been COM
menced from Front Royal, south. Now two
routs are in contemplation from Hagerstown
to Front Royal. One by Martinsburg and
Winchester; the other By Shepherdstown,
CharlestowD go. 1t is determined between
the two routes that the Boards of Directors
meet to-day. The distance Of the two routes
is nearly the same the local subscription upon
each the same The grades and cost of con-
struotion of the two. not materially different,
yet our route has the advantage of being more
in the direct line Of the Cumberland Valley
extension, and of passing through two Of the
most populous and thriving cities of the Val
ley. We shall look with great interest to the
decision which may to-day be made in Philia-
delphia, believing as we do, that it will in
volve the most important results to the pros
pcrity of Martinsburg and the county of Ber-
kelley.

SATURDAYS NEWS.

The official journal of St. Petersburg en-
phaticalIy denies the reports ofthe beIligerent
movements Of Russia. ltadds that the policy
OF the country is one of peace and Justice.
The mission of NJ. Theirs to Russia seems
to have resulted in a total failure. The En-
peror politely but positively declined an utter
view, and Gortschakotf represented to him the
impossibility Of recognizing in him any official
authority whatever.
AT early hour this morning news was
received from Ostend that great battle was
fought on Seine on Tuesday last, in which
the Crown Prince Of Prussia was completely
defeated by the French troops. This is ac-
companied by many details of continued and
apparently decided French success. The re-
port was brought by special and official mes
senger from Iullcncicnncs to Ostcnd, and is
said to have caused intense excitement there.
