The question will soon DO asked the
people of Augusta whether they will vote
the credit of the county for subscription of
$500, 900 to the capital stock of the Valley
Railroad and thereby secure not only the I'M
mediate beginning but the early completion
Of railroad that they have earnestly de-
sired for we'll nigh 40 years. Burdened
with debt, straitend by the failure of crops,
and dreading load of unusual taxation, it
would be strange indeed if proposition TO
pay more, to add the burdens already on
our backs, did not meet with decided oppo-
sition from many of the most prudent and
influential citizens of the county, from the
men whose opinion all esteem, even when
we do not agree with them, for they are
patriotic men earnestly desiring the welfare
of the county and jealous of its reputation.
They are the ones, above all others, whose
support we desire for this great work, there
fore we would reason with them, asking
them to weigh the question fairly, before
they decide to oppose the subscription. The
advantages Of the future we may overlook
increasing facilities for going and sending
to the great markets, the reduction of fares
and freights resulting from competition, the
development of our mineral resources, the
demand for the surplus lands of the county,
especially those contiguous to the new Rail
road, the distribution of coal for fuel, for
furnaces and for the manufacture Of lime
&C., &C., since more than one third of the
whole county will be within five miles of the
Valley Railroad. Saying nothing Of these fu-
ture results, which willinevitably follow the
completion Of this Railroad, we desire to
call attention to the benefits of.the present
and ask if we can afford to let them CO.
Will it not pay the whole community to pay
the interest on $500, 900 for 2 or 8 years,
if by so doing they can secure an expendi-
ture of more than million and a quarter
of Dollars III the county The best markets
our producers now have is on the line of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, far west of US,
because thousands are there at work on the
extension of that road. How would the
market be if this work were going on at
your doors 3? AS soon as the road is COM
pleted the company has an offer from re-
sponsible parties, 10 pay 6per cent upon
the cost of it for the privilege Of using it .
to relieve us from paying interest any
longer than the 2 or 3 years employed in
the construction of the road While largo
amount is being paid out for any and every
thing you have to sell, you are asked to
loan a small portion of your receipts for
few years to invest it in the best stocks of
the country, at the same time reaping the
benefit of the whole expenditure, not only
Of your own mite, but of Others thousands
Would it not be we'll for those opposed to
consider this carefully, ere they determine
to throw aside the great advantages which
must accrue to us by the construction of this
great Valley Railroad, when they can be
secured at SO little real cost to US as a COM
munity?

From close observation, and even sad ex.
pcrience, the subject, 10 my opinion, scalls
for much more attention than is usually

srly the case. Such vigorous and hardy

stand it, but oven they will eventually
suffer. This fault is not only to be

Of those wh0 know better. This then be-

SO much shorter, so as aot TO leave more
wood than the vine can carry ssfelY

opinion, will be the best; for, by the
FIRST plan, We get our fruit too much
crowded and throw too much force into
the young canes for the following years

by early maturity and heavy weight. In
the pssturing season, it 10 better to con-
fine swiue to . field of clover than to
allow them to have the run of the entire

some varieties of grass by eating the

lowing com from Elder j. NJ.
Long, of Chillicothe, who has been con
Quoting the religious exercises AZ the
Christian Church in this place the past
two weeks, explains itself:
COMMUNICATION.
M. Editor A late issue Of your
paper contains a statement Of fourteen
religious articles purpos,ing to be .the
creed of . denomination in the East,
known as christians" Lest some Of
your readers might confaaud this body
with the religious movement to which l
belong from similarity Of name, | desire
to say that they are totally distinct from
each other. Unlike this religious body
in the East, we have never drawn up, and
I hope never will do so, any articles Of
faith which shall bccoms the test of
Church fellowship. Whenever any re.
iigious movement csys,aiizes into the
cold, dray and hard formulas of dogmatic
theology, that moment do the life and
aggressive power Of such body begin to
wither and die.
No religion oppressed In scientific for
mulas and embodied forth in the form of
. human creed can hold, for any great
leogth Of time, the mind under its sway
The reason Of this is found 10 the fact
that the moral and religious culture and
progress Of the race, never has been,
neither can be, carried on very long at q
time under ono set Of influences excius
sively. The mind. after age, grows and
sxpands, first under one cultus, then under
another; but human creeds are dead
fossils, which profess no life, and hence
have no growth. 1t is now too late in
the day for aoy religious body to expect
by making creed to keep itself in sym.
pathy with she best instincts and aspira.
tions Of the age.
Respectfully, J. NJ. LONG.
