SHENANDoAHEALLEYR Rive believe we
are able to speak knowingly with reference to
the causes which induced suspension Of the
work on this road, but we care not to make them
known at present. The citizens along the route
of this proposed railroad have evinced decided
interest and encouragement in its construction,
in testimony Of which stands the subscriptions
made by the several counties, voted for by Il
large majority Of the people, notwithstanding
the great lmpoycrishnent they labor under 10y
the effects OF the war
As to the ultimate construction Of this road,
We have few, if any doubts. We believe that
the road will pay, and that the citizens along
the route can and will build it, 1t is within
their power 10 do 80, and as soon rs they fully
realize this fact, the work will go forward and
our people will rejoice that the desired results
attained were effected by their own energies
and perseverance. Clarke Courar.

Mr.. GREELEY's SPEECH.-From the report
Of Mr. Greeley's speech delivered in this city.
We should Judge that in its general tone and
spirit, it was mild and conciiatory. While
there is very little Of originality in its ideas,
there are passages in it which are sensible and
true. Most of the advice which it gives, has
been urged and tolo1cel by most Of the people
in Virginia, ever since the close Of the war In
one thing, at least, Mr.. Greeley has been uni
form and consistent, for several years past, and
that is in the recommendation Of general am
nesty-a recommendation in which it appears
the mass Of his party friends, especially one
class Of them, do not concur. We are willing
to give Mr.. Greeley credit for all Of good that
he advises and all Of public good that he does.
But We DO not consider him the guide, phi
losopher and friend" that he is sometimes call
el--at least not the guide; that we should
choose, nor the philosopher whose general
doctrines We would adopt, nor the friend in
politics We would rely upon.

No SIDE ISSUES The fear has been OK
pressed that the unity Of the Conservative par
ty in Virginia may be disturbed by questions Of
local policy or sectional interest. There can be
no doubt that the public mind is Interested in
regard to railroad matters, nor that there arc
large individual and cooperative interests look
ing to the accomplishment Of certain ends by
means Of legislation but We are convinced OF
another thing, viz, that the man, or men, who
for selfish purposes introduce such questions,
or causes tor: difference into councils which are
held with the one grand object of establishing
our governments, State and National, upon the
basis of sound principles, will doubly fail OF
their object, and will be repudiated with their
schemes by vast majority OF the people
When the pcrmanency of our free institutions,
and the very essentials of general prosperity,
are at stake, he is i public enemy who wonld
place his own temporary projects in the scale
against the common good ; and We are satisfied
that, should such an attempt be made, It will
fail miserably and recoil upon the heads OF
those who conceive it. Let lis fight our battles
between neighborhoods as mantully as We may,
but on proper fields and with legitimate weap-
ons; and when standing shoulder to shoulder
in the lines of the army of delivcrance, Tor
Gods sake let us forget al! else but that the
Radicals are in front. and that we are battling
for all that makes life worth the having
