DEATH OF COL. GEORGE BAYLOR.

:
Every day gives US serious evidence, that
man is but piece of dissolving clay. We
can scarcely pass an hour, that we do not
hear Of demonstrations ofthis fact. It is a
truth established by reason, religion and ex-
pcrience.
We are called upon to announce the death
Of Col. George Baylor. He was one of the
members Of the social circle that link the
past withthe present. He was not only d
truthful man but one Of remarkable breadth OF
charity. He was true to all the better in
stincts Of manhood firm in business and his
convictions of right, and above all, christian
gentleman, belonging to the Lutheran church.
We arc not familiar with the minutia of Col.
Bayiors life except upon the broad idea that
he rose from the plow to the legal profession
His rhetoric in his profession, was not that of
the sophomore, but the eloquence of common
sense. lie never shrank from an iutellcctu-
al engagement but never came out vanquish-
ed. The gloss and sheen Of words we're not
his forfeit was the stern logic OF the COM
mon mind risias above Abe walls and the asso-
Citations of Colleges. Ills was life that ev-
cry young man might emulate

VALLEY RAILROAD.

I'VE have satisfactory information that the
long cherished hopes ofour people are about to
tc realized, that the route ofthe Valley Road
will be speedily determined and the work put
under contract. On Saturday last the sub
'scription of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
of 100000 was made, and on Monday the
city of Baltimore subscribed $1,000, 00O.-
Up to this time there had been some difficulty
IN the way Of the latter subscription, but that
being removed. the speedy construction. Of
ahe Road is assured 81
The President of the Road, Robert Garrett.
Esq, with the Directory, viii probably meet
;iu Ssaunton on Saturday next, to determiac
Oh the route between this city and Harrisan-
burg and to initiate the steps for letting the
work to contract = +
This Information is far more gratifying to
Us than the Convention success of any partic-
ular ticket for the Legislature for in it are
deeply implicated the growth and prosperity
of our beautiful city. OF course, the action
of the Directory as to the particular line
from Harrisonburg to Stauntou, will be look
'el for with eager interest by the friends o.
the respective routes We should like, if il
were possible, 20 see both parties gratifed
but this cannotbe. One of tbem will have to be
disappointed, and We hope the diappontmen,
will be borne with heedming forti.ude -
We have not space this week to enlarge
upon the future. TIE must conclude, there
fore by tossing up our new cap, and exclaim.

CONSERVATIVE NOMINEES.

In the whirl and struggle of political con-
taststhe passions sometimes control reason,
but the time for the true character Of men
comes after the battle is fought The recent
passage Of arms between the Political con-
testants in this County, was made, on our
part, with no desire to reflect upon the in.eg-
rityg OF any one. Our only purpose was to
carry out our convictions of duty to the pub,
lie interest. Every other voter aud member
OF society had the same right that we exer-
ciscd. The sequel showed that We had a
clearer appreciation Of popular sentiment
than those who opposed us. We claim no
victory. 1t is one Of those occurrences which
happen to men of different views Of public
policy. 1t is the part ola craven, ina politi-
"al contest, where men axe actuated by equal
y honest motives, to make demonstration
Of superiority We claim this to be rule
that should govern all party associations.
In our county contest, one class Of
minds encountered another. One sue
ceeded aud the other necessarily was
defeated. We are therefore surprised
to find the following ticket, with the impriu,
Of the Staunton Spectator, being circulated
The Peoples Ticket.

FOR STATE SENATOR,
JOSEPH A. WADDELL.
VA
FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES,
DR.. THOMAS W. SHELTON,
Col. F. F. STERRETT,
ROBERT S. HARNSBERGER.

We believe from our knowledge of the
gentlemen on this ticket, that not one Of
them will consent to it.
All organization IS crumbled to pieces
when men Of their characters consent to dis
organization. The regular nominee for the
Senate. Judge A b. Cochran, faithfully and
efficiently represented the people Of Augusta
county in the lower house of the last Legisa-
ture. He did as much for the people Of Au-
gusta county. as any representative they
have ever had, who had to encounter the
massive difficulties that pertained to the last
general Assembly. We say not only of him
that, but we embrace his co-adjutors and col.
leagues, Messrs Waddell Bell and Hanger
We have frequently alluded to the novel and
unprecedented condition of affairs when that
Legislature convened. It had in it
an uneducatcd element. Revolution had
swept over the country and torn the
State asunder, and the law of the conscript
fathers had been wiped away They had
to meet the results Of Revolution aud inaug
urate new system Of government for the
| State Of Virginia. 1t was an undertaking
that is only surpassed by that other revv-
| luton which struck the manacles from the
people Of the colonies, and made George the
| LII shake in his boots. 1t was contest
hat ab holl hloxu h. lac e
tyranny and relieved Virginia from the fate
| Of South Carolina and Louisiana and her sis
| ter Southern States. Perfection could not
have been expected from Legislature which
had so much to contend with. We pay this
tribute to our own delegation with which so
| much fault has been found. The leaves of
history will hereafter attest the truth of what
| we have stated. AS for Mr. A. B.
| Lightner, one Of the other nominees, he is a
gentleman who has received and enjoyed the
confidence of the people Of Augusta, almost
ever siuce the Editor of this paper knew
them. He has been entrusted with high f.
duciary responsibilities He has never had
the breath of suspicion to rest upon his integ-
rity. He represents that class Of minds in
the county which think and acf.
Chas. S. Roller, the other nominee, is a
young man of fine attanments, stern nerve
and splendid promise. He belongs to that
| class Of men who ara young and must in the
course of time control the destinies of the
country. The people cannot afford to lose
the services of tho young men. gtt
This ticket was fairly nominated by one Of
the fairest Conventions we have ever known.
We leave it with the integrity of the compo-
nent parts of that Convention whether it
shall be successful or not.
IF revolution is the word now, then revo-
luton may be the word hereafter, for the
prejudices Of men do not die away with the
occasion that gave them birth.

The Si.0rt-line.

1t is rumered upon the streets, says the
Louisville Courier, that the railway kings
are having very pretty fight over the
Short-line railroad. The gossips have it that
propositions have been made to the Board of
Directors for both the Pennsylvania and the
Chesapeake and the Ohio railroads. What
the nature Of these propositions may be has
not yet t:anspired; but, as the Board Of Di.
rectors meets to day, it is believed that some
conclusion will be reached. Public opinion
seems to be set against the Pennsylvania
Central. The plans and purposes of the
Chesapeake and Ohio are not yet sufficiently
developed to be the occasion of any fixed
opinion. Gen. Rreckinridge's recent yisitto
Nashville and Memphis. and the presence of
Mr.. Huntington and Gen. Echols, are natur-
ally regarded with interest by all classes of
the community. We dare say that this in-
tcrest will be enlightened in the progress Of
the railroad discussions which are lust now
taking possession of the popular thought.
We find confirmation of the above rather
indefinite rumor since the article was 10

apeake and Ohio railroad, has submitted /.
