lEcssrs. Editors Il have been fortunate
enough to learn the results of the survey of
the Charlesown aud Bloomery, Halltown and
Kablctowu rnpike-which was completed
on Tuesday last, from the engineer, Mr.. 5.
Howell Brown, aud thinking it might be of
interest to some Of your numerous readers, L
deem it not inappropriate to send you an nc.
count of it. The engineer ran the line some
two weeks ago, aud found the distance from
CharI 'stown to the river, at the Sash Factory
of Messrs Kcarsley & Sheerer, to be three
and third miles; and from Mr.. Schaefier's
on the Charlestown and Harper's Ferry Turn
pike, to Mr. Ii. w. Castleman' s mill, Gts des-
tinaton at presently nine and sixth miles
Mr.. Brown reports the grade to be good one
only two hills will be five degrees, the
maximum that the charter allows.
This road will undoubtedly be of great ad-
vantage to the public generally, running by a
sach factory of no minor Importance, three
large -four and four saw-mills, bearing on
"rWpqs frmae" the produce Of this fertile
county.
The pike will. as a general thing, be built
on the bed of the old road: only leaving it to
make the distance shorter. 1t will soon be
under contract, and we hope ere another
winter sets in, to be for ever out Of the mud.
There is thirty thousand dollars worth of
stock taken in the road, the county having
contributed twenty thousand and the rest
being individual stock. This just allows
twenty five hundred dollars per mile, which is,
with such naturally fine grade, quite sufficient
to complete any single mile.
1t is to be hoped that no one will be calling
for heavy damages and trying to impede its
early completion, for justice will be dealt out
to all
A map showing the locality has already
been handed in to the board of Directors, all
of whom are men of great energy, and we
may expect to see hands at work upon this
road soon. and the vast work of internal i'm
provement re commenced. in this our beloved
but trampled upon county. DITTO.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY R. R.

It will be seen By reference to another COL
umn, that this great enterprise was organized
on the 18th inst, at Luray, Va. An inaugu-
ration of this magnificent scheme should be
hailed with delight throughout the great val
leys it is intended to benefit. Between four
and five hundred thousand dollars of stock
was represented on the day of the organiza-
ton, and the most lively hopes were enter
tanned and expressed that the construction of
the work would proceed with the utmost ex-
petition. Page county, whose resources and
ability are far behind our own, subscribed two
hundred thousand dollars, and thus set an ex-
ample which we trust will be initiated on the
31st inst, the day set apart for the vote in
Jefferson on the proposition to subscribe two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the
stock of this road.
The action of the people of Jefferson, we
are assured, is regarded with no little concern
by the friends of the road elsewhere all con-
curing in the opinion, that defeat of the
subscription at the approaching election would
seriously rotard, if not indefinitely postpone
active operations on the work, whilst the en-
dorsement of the people of this county in the
mode proposed, would give to it an impetus
that would make its success certainty.
We hope to lay before our readers next week
such arguments in favor of this great improve
ment as will induce every citiven of Jefer-
son, who has the interests of his people at
heart, to give his cordial support to the SUBJ
scripton

SPEECH OF HON. H. G. DAVIS.

The able speech of Hon. II. &. Davis of
Mineral county, in the Senate of West Vir-
ginia. delivered on the Goth of February last,
lays down the basis of the principles upon
which the coming political campaign in this
State should be conducted. on the part OF those
who favor the cnfranchisement of the Whites
of this State The Executive having notified
the Congress that thirty States have ratified
the Fifteenth Amendment, We think it PROB
able that the singular anomaly Of the coiored
men's deciding upon the enfranchisement of
the Whites will be presented at the next cleo
ton in West Virginia. The candidates in
the field for the next Legislature will have to
announce themselves eitherin favor or opposed
to changing the Constitution of the State, so
as to give those now prescribed the right to
vote and hold office. According to Mr.. Davis,
the number conshtmiondly prescribed is, in
round numbers, $4,000; the number pro-
scribed IN uioldtiom of the constitution, for
partzan purposes, he estimates at $4,000;
in all 33 GOO Whites are not allowed to vote
or hold Office. On the other hand, all the
coIored male adults, by the constitution of the
United States as declared amended, will be
permitted to vote. The equality ofhe White
Race, therefore, is the question which those
holding the power in this State must decide.
The next election will be the starting point
from whence every man must commence his
Record on this question. Let every aspirant
for office be watched and noted. 1t will be
too late hereafter for him to rctrace his steps.
Once committed against White Equality, he
is committed forever, and no White man
should ever support or countennnce him again
socially, politically, or commercially, from
thenceforth and forever.

The vote taken was not upon repeal. but

censure myself for so hesitating between con

Is IT TRUE?

The Richmond Dispatch editorially charges
Hon. Charles j. Faulkner with urging upon
the LEGISLATURE the annexation OF proviso to
the bill appointing Commissioners on the part
of West Virginia, to adjust the common debt
of the old and new State, to the effect that no
such adjustment should be made, unless and
until Virginia should abandon her suit for
the counties of Berkeley and Jefferson. We
hope that Mr.. Faulkner, or some judicious
friend of his, will authoritatlvely deny this
CHARGE. Mr. L. knows too we'll that the an
nexation of these two counties to West Eir-
ginia was the result of violence and fraud, to
advise the auncxng such proviso as con-
dtion precedent to the discharge OF just
debt. He has been sufficiently long in public
life. and is sufficiently versed in the lessons
of history, to know State which sets so low
an estimate upon her credit, honor, and hon.
esty. does an irrcparable injury to herself, ard
her citizens. The apology for those who have
hereto opposed her paying her due proportion
of the common debt was, that they had not
20, raIieved themselves from the prejudice
which they entertained against the old State
on account of her attitude in the late war
For Mr.. Faulkner there could be urged no
such palliation, inasmuch as he removed
into the interior of the old State, and cast
his destiny and fortunes with hers. The pro-
viso to which the Dispatch alludes was brought
forward by the Senator from this county, and
we lost no time in disclaiming for her citizens
any responsibility for such an infamous prop
ositiOn We hope that Mr.. Faulkner will
avail himself of an early opportunity to deny
the charge publicly.
