The Valley Railroad question is again
looming up, an there is, according to re-
ports, some hops Of securing it. The Bal
timore Gazette 2ays:
A delegation of gentlemen from the Val
ley Of Virginia, in the interest of the Val
ley Railroad, is now in the City, for the
purpose of completing some arrangement by
which the subscription of 81 200, 900 made
by the City of Baltimore. could be made
available. The subscription is short, and
the object of the visit to Baltimore is to
make up that deficiency. The delegation is
NJ. G. Harman, Hugh W. Shelley, Nicho-
las K. Trout, r. W. Hardy, G. A. David
son, George Baylor and John f. Roller
During the greater part of yesterday the
gentlemen named were in consultation with
John W. Garrett, Esq, but up to late
hour last night it was understood the object
ofthe visit had not been accomplished The
delegation will meet the Committee of WAYS
and Means of the City Council at noon to-
day, when a general consultation will be had
on the subject. The deficiency is two hun
bred thousand dollars"
The Sun of Saturday says:
"Thc citizens Of Virginia who have been
here the past two days in the interest of the
Virginia Valley railroad, it will be seen,
had an interview with the mayor and anoth-
er member, of commissioners of finance yes
terday and it is gratifying to know that the
failure Of Augusta county to subscribe her
quota of 100000 does not lead to an
abandonment of the project. Arrangements
are contemplated for securing portion of
the line at least leaving to further opportu-
nifty the accomplishment of the balance. -
The project is now to commence and con-
struct the section of the road from Harrison
burg to Staunton, which we hope to see soon
placed under contract, as it is understood
the Baltimore Il Ohio Company is prepared
to act literally and promptly on the sub
ject."
As we understand this, the accomplish
ment Ct the construction of the road to
Staunton, depends upon our people. If
they will assist by liberal subscriptions, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will then ad-
vance the balance necessary to bring the
road to Staunton, and it will be put under
contract very soon. In this event, the
subscription of Baltimore City, (Which was
not secured on account Of Augustus failing
to subscribe 5000, 00O will be left to carry
the road on to Salem, when enough county
and town subscriptions are made to secure it.
1t will thus be seen that it now remains
with the people oi Augusta whether this road
shall be built to Staunton at an early day.
The Valley Railroad is desired by all our
people and the only objection was to
county subscription. Many, who opposed
that plan, proposed to subscribe literally
That opportunity is now offered and indivl-
ual subscriptions is the last and only resort.
If We want the road we must put our own
shoulders to the wheel Let US make the
subscription Individually and have this read
in operation at the earlist possible day
Every interest in the county demands such
course on our part

STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE. -One of the
strangest natural curiosities we have ever
seen was shown us a lew day ago. 1t was
newly Uttered pig with seven perfect legs.
The pig is of the usual size and lived 7 or
8 hours after being Uttered. 1t was litter
ed at Robert Gaines, about mile from

The Cleveland Pzaindeazer gives us to
understand that never before were there so
many sick officials in that city, as on the
occasion Of the celebration of the ratification
of the fifteenth amendment by the negroes.
Not a Republ can city official appeared in
the procession They were all sck-had
been eating something that didn't agree with
them had bad cold; had neuralgia, and
were afraid of exposure. All sick-none
we'll until next day. It is the way with
them, too, in Richmond on grand festival
occasions. The white Office holders and
seekers can slyly attend tue negro meetings
under cover of night, when nobody sizes
them, but when called upon to take part in
public professions they are suddenly taken
sick When will the black dupes open
Their eyes to the true character of their
white rulers ?-Rtchmond Enquirer.

SINGULAR Quite singular phenomenon
occurred in our city during the hail storm
last week. Many Of the drops of hail had
in each of them grain of rice, We have
in our possession some of the lice, and are
informed by the persons who gathered it up
that they held the hail in their hands until
it melted, and that there is no doubt what
ever about the matter We leave it for the
wise to tell how the rice got up in the
clouds. -Noyo7h Vi1yinian

UNDER WHICH KING I've know of bnt
two parties in the country which have ma
tional existence--the Democratic and the
Rcpubican-and it is under the banner of
one or the other th at all party men will have
to range themselves. All opposed to Radi-
calism should throw the mongrel word
CONSERVATIVE to the dogs, and come out
squarely as members of the great Democrat
ic party. It is to this complexion it will
come at last, and the sooner the better -
There is no party, known as the "Conser-
vative," in the Northern States, but there, as
it should be in the South, all the opposition
to Radicalism, proudly range themselves I'M

heretofore, we shall float no other standard,
