A TAXI PAYER.

The Martinsburg Statesman, III ITS
last issue, tests the credulity OF It's rea
ders by gravely announcing, as fact
that the Shenandoah Valley Railroad
Company is "as dead as founder and
that it never had any real vitality, only
a little brag and buster If the N"its-
man be III earnest in this assertion, his
ignorance may be pleaded rs some eN-
tenuation for the c"nnrd. But a public
journalist should fully inform himself of
facts before venturlng 10 make such an
unmitigated -- assertion. II the sta
tesman could have been last week i'll
Charlestown and have interviewed some
of the Directors and Contractors OF the
5. V. X. Il. Co. who have been here,
they would doubtless have given him
the data for truthful paragraph upon
the subject of their road, to the ImPor-
lance of which they Gas well as tins
whole community are fully alive, and
which they mean to push TO its compile
ton as soon as the right of way shall
be arranged through this and the nd
Joining county Of Clarke.
True, theS. V, L, r. Go. Gas the Stote'
man says has "only little brag and
buster in which. by the way, it differs
hugely from the Martinsburg concern;
but it may be pardoncd for even this
'Iittle" when it is known that said Com
pany has already constructed more miles
of its grand trunk road than the whole
length of the Martinsburg and Potomac
road will be when it shall be completed,
and that it has done so out Of its own
means, neither calling upon any of the

For The Register.
To the Taxpayers of Jefferson County.

One of your number who is now bur
dened by onerous taxation, prefers TINS
brief address to all of you, who are III
the same category. YOU will be called
upon before the expiration OF tins month
to vote on the question OF a Conven-
ton. which if passed by a vote OF yours,
will increase your taxes to runous,ana
oppressive extent. We know the ope-
ration of such measure, and the eS-
pense attendant upon it. TIE expenses
are always far beyond their highest es-
innate. Be not gulled by those who
will tell you that the increase OF your
taxes will not be much, by the passage
of this measure. You will be met on
all hands by specious representations OF
this sort. You will realize the truth
which we tell you when your pockets
are called upon to pay expenses. Are
YOU not satisfied with the present OPP
pressive amount of taxes which ,yop are
annually called on to pay or 90 you
desire to increase Your burdens in that
quarter w men lev - H'''N ~ T..
for Railroad and Turnpike subscriptions
in addition to your plesent rate OF State
and County taxes, YOU will be ready to
eyclaim, that it is burden too heavy
for YOU to bear And when by Your
own vote YOU increase it by the holding
of A Convention, the greater portion OF
your substance will be consumed, and
that too without 4 shadow of necessity.
If any change in, or amendment to the
Constitution is at any time deemed ne
cessary, ii can be proposed by the Leg
iSlaturc under the Constitution, ana You
can vote upon every proposition OF ''iSt
kind without expense or any increase OF
taxes. These are serious and grave
questions submitted to Your considera-
ton. By the vote on the Convention
Bill is submitted to youthe proPositons,
will YOU vote for it, and thereby take
from Yourself the whole of your sub
stance by All increase of taxation, which
YOU will be unable TO pay without It's
sacrifice, or will you wait short period
for the meeting of the Legislature to
propose changes in the Constitution
without dollar Of eXpense or taxation
to YOU.
