VALLEY RAILROAD.
THE ROUTE DETERMINED !

The President and Directory of the VAL
ley Railroad met in Baltimore on Tuesday
Hast, the 28th and determined the location Of
the Valley Railroad between Staunton and
Harrisopburg, selecting the eastern or Mt.
Crawford and Mt. Sidney route-entering
Staunton near Asts mill, in the eastern sub
.urbs of the city. The Road will be letto con-
tract at once, and the work pushed up to a
speedy conclusion, so as to be ready for the
crops Of next year,
The selection Of the eastern route will ne
-cessarily prove disappointment to the friends
of the western route; but many fthem have
had their minds prepared for this result for
sene weeks past.
We may now reasonably expect speedy
activity in trade Of all kinds The large
amount of money that will, of necessity, be
expended in the construction of this impor-
tant improvement,w will be source of incalcula-
BILE benefit to the people of Augusta and Rock
angham, and relieve them, in a great degree, of
the pecuniary srtingeucy which has been their
inseparable companion for years past. While
we believe the selection of the western route
would hare been better for this city. aud
would have developed more of the wealth of
the county than the oae determined on, yet
the authorities in whom was vested the pow
or to make the location, have doubtless acted
with reference to an enlarged usefulness of
ahc enterprise. We must .'let the dead past
bury it's dead,'' and look to the future, avail
ing ourselves Of the fattering prospect of
soon becoming one Of the most important
railroad centers in the South.
Let our capitalists now go to work with
energy aud foresight in erecting new build
ings for the accommodation of the influx Of
population that must follow, and the increas-
ed business which will flow to our live, pro-
gressiye city.

q IMPORTANT DEc1s1oN.-A decision of
considerable Importance to all persons who
have purchased real estate in the South under
the sales ofthe Same by the Federal govern
ment for taxes, was decided in tho Supreme
Court of the United States on the 9th, on
an appeal from a claimant whose land had
been sold by the federal tax commissioners
under the act of 1862, and a deed given by
two Of the three commissioners who were au-
thorized to SELL Two questions were involv-
ed-the validity Of the law and the validity
Of the deed The court sustained both, and
held that as the sale was made by public
act. it was entirely competent for two Of the
three commissioners to convey a title. The
virtual effect Of this decision is to give all the
present owners Of these lands a fee simple In
the same. A good deal Of property is held in
Virginia and South Carolina under these tax
titles.

GIT WAS EVER THUS.0

The prohibitory law is now enforced in
New Bedford, Mass, so stringently that no
liquor is sold openly. The consequence is
that strangers in the place, without acquain-
lance, are obliged to practice total abstinence,
while the inhabitants Of the city and their
friends drink more than ever. One effect of
the measure is that the druggists are doing
an immense business in mixing prescriptions
to be taken on the spot. There is also a large
amount of "kerosene" sold daily by the glass
The dram shops are kept locked, blu, trust
worthy customers are admitted by the
back way, where they are served by the
proprietor from bottle kept in his coat pock-
ct Or demijohn hauled up from the cellar
through trap door in the closet. Parties of
three or four desiring to indulge in social
drink, go one at a time to the source of sup
ply, and each one remai ms long enough to
take drinks all round by himself It is ad-
mitted by some of the strongest temperance
men in New Bedford, that large class who
would take drink only once in while if it
was open to them, now often get so drunk
that the police are obliged to take them in
charge. Ills has also been observed to be the
case in Boston when the bar rooms have been
closed.

STATE FINANCES.

1t is estimated that there will be two mil
lion dollars in the State Treasury by the lst
of January. 1t does not follow. however, as
necessary consequence, that the Legislature
will have to remain i'll session until the
amount is exhausted.
1t is our purpose to keep a close watch
upon the movements, especially of our Valley
members. We want them to- shape their
legislative course to correspond with the
Strengthened faancial condition of the people,
aud to plant themselves firmly against any
scheme to increase their Durthens, or unncces-
sarily prolong the session. The memorable
demand of the people, is economy. This can
be accomplished il many ways, and partcu-
larly 10 pushing through all necessary legis-
lation and adjourning, even before the expi-
ration Of the ninety days, if it can be done
without detriment to the public interest.
