The Partition OF virginia.

We confess our surprise, and very
agreeable surprise, at finding in the
E0ening Journal OF yesterday the most
unqualified denuncialion of the act di.
viding Virginia into two States as a
great wrong. We copy what it says
upon the subject, and must say that we
commend the bold and generous as well
as just manner in which it is expressed.
A sign like this of the sober second
thought that is gradually growing up
encourages the hope that many wrongs
that are within the range OF redress
will in due time be righted. AS the
partition of Virginia was perhaps the
greatest wrong of the war, it is to us
especially gratifying to see it censured
10y those who. from their party relations,
may be looked upon as in sort called
upon to sustain il. The Journal says ;
1--WE believe, as we did at the time,
that the division of Virginia into two
States was wholly uncalIed for and un,
warrantable. The reasons given for it
were puerile and inadequate. No good
whatever has or can grow out Of it, but
it will be a matter OF contention for
generation between two weak fragments
of what was once and may again become
a noble State. We are unalterably for
the reconstruction Of the old Common
wealth of Virginia in its original terri
torial integrity.
I'VE can show that the interests Of
both sections would be intellectually adj
vanced by such q reunion. With the
exception Of duplicate set Of
State officers there is no man
whose personal interests would not
he advanced 10y il in either State. An
act illegal, unjust, and hostile to the
public interest like this, can be RENE
died. 1t seems to us an emlnently ia
vorable moment to agitate this matter.
We are personally aware that many of
our best statesmen, of both parties, con-
slider the division to be illegal as well as
well as impolitic. There is no serious
obstacle to reunion, and surely justice
and the common good of both sections
will be secured by it. Let us have the
voice OF the people OF both the Nir-
ginias. The politicians, who want the
offices, are interested parties and are not
to be implicitly trusted. Give the ques-
ton fair hearing, in all its bearings
upon public and private interests, and
we are confident that an overwhelming
majority of all the people in the two
States will decide in favor of rejoining
the discovered members Of the old Com
mOnwealth.'

Railroad Convention.

At a Convention held in Franklin on
the 10th day of September last, com
mittee was appointed to correspond
with and solicit aid from any source
that aid could be procured, for the pur'
pose of constructing narrow-gauge
railroad up the Branch valley from
'Romney, by way of Franklin, TO some
point on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road, at or near Covington, and it may
be necessary to obtain charter author
izing the construction Of said road from
the Legislatures OF West Virginia and
Virginia, and as the Legislatures OF
both States will soon assemble, we, the
said committee, propose to call & Con-
vention Of delegates from the counties OF
Hampshire, Hardy, Grant and Pendle-
ton, in West Virginia, and OF the coun-
ties of Allegheny, Bath and Highland,
in Virginia, and of any other counties
in either State that may take an inter
est in the enterprise, TO meet at Frank
lin, Pendleton county, West Virginia,
on TUESDAY, DECEMBER II, 1871, to take
into consideration the construction OF
the said road.
We cordially invite all railroad com
panies that feel an interest in the said
proposed narrow-gauge railroad, as well
as all iron masters and practical miners,
to meet us in the said Convention-par-
tlcularly from Pittsburgh and other
parts Oh Penn -yiyania.
We feel sure that the minerals which
the said road would develop, together
with the agricultural productions, lum-
Der, Nc, along the route, Will make the
road a paying one. We also feel sure
that the counties through which the
road would pass, can, il they will, with
the aid they can get from other sources,
build the road
Wein-ist thai that he citizens arouse
from their lcthargy Let us shake off
old togyism and build the road. Come
one and all, and let us have rousing
Convention.
