NARROW GUAGE RAILROADS. The subject
of narrow guage. railroads, especially in connec-
ton with their use as feeders and adjuncts to
main lines, continues to be discussed, and sew
eral of these roads are in course Of con-
struction or are proposed, in various quar-
tiers There is, we believe, no where better
field for their operation than is to be found in
Virginia. They may be the means of benefit
ting the farmers and contributing to the pros
perity Of our own market towns.

u private family, where, on the third or fourth
day afterwards, the ball, which had lodged be-
tween the skull and the lining Of the brain, by
supperation reached and rested on the brain,
producing spasms and death in a short time.
Before | left him on the day Of his arrival in
his wife % years old that they had fourteen
children-nine boys and five girls that his wife
had twins six times; that eleven Of them were
going to school, When he left home. all were
alive; and not one Of his children, his wife, or
himself, had ever had three days sickness since
their marriage He was q fine looking man,
six feet one inch high, and weighed ! 50 pounds;
that he was the smallest Of six brothers, and
that his parents raised six boys and twcnty-one
girls. This statement was made in calm,
modest manner, which seemed characteristic Of
the man. in the presence of myself and Rev

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN-Thc interesting case
of DIR. William S. Morriss versus the South
side Railroad Company, which has been on trial
before the Circuit Court of this city, for sever
al days past was decided yesterday in favor Of
the Railroad Company. The plaintiff, in April,

over the Railroad, its destination belng Pamp-
that point, suit was brought against the Com
pany for the value thereof From the testi-
mony in the case, it appeared that the tobacco
was received by the Railroad Company, for
transportation. with the reservation that it
would not be responsible for the eyigencies Of
the war and as it was shown that the train
upon which the tobacco was shipped, was stop
ped at Appomattox Depot, by military order,
and the tobacco in consequence: lost, Il verdict

words of Patriotism and Wisdom,

The sentiments uttered in the conclusion of
the speech Of MIR. j. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky,
cannot be too often repeated and too deeply
Pondered by the American people, and especially
by the Democratic party, whose mission it 10 to
save our country. He said
Il appeal to the student of history to point to
single Instance i'll the annals of the human
family where people. or a political party, ever
arose to power or achieved success save by 4
fixed. determined, persistent adherence to some
great purpose. Majorities fall to pieces i'll
wrangles over the division of party booty. Mi
norities are held together and rise into power
upon some great principle. When that is aban-
doued they cease to exist. Why then should We
despair why depart from the faith of our fa-
theirs, and the political chart Of our whole lives
Did the Senate despair when Hannibal was
laundering at the gates Of Rome 7 No. They
voted resolution of thanks to the battle SCARED
fragments of yarrus legions because they
proudly aud defan,ly bore alote the Roman ea-
giles as they suleny retreated from the disas-
trous fields OF Cannae. And where was Car
thage when those eagles perched upon the bleak
hills of Caledonia, or nestled amid the ruins OF
ancient Babylon, with an empire between them
Even should all others desert them, let the gal
liant Democracy of my native State still keep it
proudly ahoat as good men, brave and true and
host will yet rally around it sufficient to rescue
our Government from the vaudalic horde that
menaces it's existence. Let it go down without
another struggle to sustain it, and with it will
60 down your liberties, never to rise"
