railroad will develop its extraordinary
resources. From Staunton to the White
Sulphur Springs, distant on hundred
miles, there are the richest deposits Of
iron. The mountains and the valleys
may be said fairly to TEEN with this
useful metal. Companies from Penn.
sylvania aud other States have recently
made large purchases Of these lands,
and are putting up extensive works,
and only await the opening Of this road
to reach the coal fields Of the New
river and Kauawha valleys TO put them
into operation. -.
The development Of both these inter
ests will be followed by important re-
suits to the commerce OF the whole
country. Richmond will command q
large bacon trade from the west, and
thus be brought in close connection in
this commerce with North and South
Carolina, which are chief consumers.
Her mills can take 4,0O0,0 900 bushels OF
western wheat. The camel coal OF the
Kanawha will be put into New York
and eastern cities at cheaper rates aud
OF better quality than any other OF the
kind, and the bluegrass lands in these
mountains will be brought into market,
and rapidly settled upon by an industri.
GUS class OF people. These are, briefly,
some OF the results that Will speedily
follow the completion Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad.

THE R E G AT IA.
GREAT FOUR-OARED RACE.
AN EXCITING CONTEST.
Taylor Winship Grew Winners

HALIFAX, n. S., August 3l.-The
great four-oared race for the champion
ship Of the world and a purse Of $4,000
came off this afternoon. Owing 20 the
doubtful state of the weather it was
thought that the race might have to be
postponed, but shortly after noon it
gave indications o. clearing up. The
announcement that the race would pos.
sibly come off at 4 o'clock caused great
excitement, and the large crowd who
had been disappointed on the previous
day now gathered along the shores Of
the harbor and on the wharves near the
place which had been indicated as the
starting point. The pool selling all
along has been slightly in favor Of the
TAYLOR Winship crew, the Renforth
crew selling the next highest, and the
Coulter crew, of America, third. The
betting, however, appeared to be ruled
by national feeling. The arrangements
made by the committee and the Asso-
citation of the Halifax Royal crew for
the regatta were perfect and gave entire
satisfaction.
The race was appointed to come off
at 4 o'clock. The six crews entered
made their appearance and stripped
for the contest. The fine physical con-
dition Of the various crews enlisted
much admiration and betting became
most spirited. They were at last in
readiness and in a moment the word
go" was given. All of the six boats
shot out simultaneously. The race up
to the stakeboat and turning point was
splendidly contested. The repeated
cheers from the thousands Of spectators
on the wharf and on numerous crafts
lying around the harbor urged the crews
to their utmost efforts. The boats
seemed scarcely to touch the water as
they sped swiftly along toward the
stakeboat The excitement on shore
was at its height as the boats rounded
the turning point and started home
ward. The race during the latter part
was close and exciting. The Taylor
Winship crew had obtained the lead
and kept it to the end, arriving at the
starting point three lengths in advance
of the Paris crew, OF Halifax, who
came in second. The Coulter-Bigley
crew of the United States was third.

Effects OF the Recent StOrm-fellOw
Fever at Charleston.

SAVANNAH, August 3l.-The damage
to the rice crop by the recent storm is
more serious than was at first supposed.
The forward rice, which had been cut
and was lying in the fields stacked was
totally swept away. The growing crop
was not so generally destroyed, but is
seriously injured. The damage done in
Florida by the storm is reported as fear
tul The whole country was under
water, and all the springs are closed up
in consequence. The damage to crops
of all kinds is incalculable. Railroad
tracks and telegraph lines were washed
away and trade is almost entirely sus-
pended.
A large number Of Charle:tonians
have fled from their city on account OF
the yellow fever, which is now epidem-
ic. Crowds are leaving daily and every
train arriving at Augusta is full OF ref
ugees. Quite number OF Charleston

ELECTION IN PARKERSBURG.
Negro Voters from Ohio-The hot
tom Rail on Top.

Negro Voters from OntO-Tne bOt.
tom Rail on Top.
We publish in another place the re-
suit of the election on the Convention in
Parkersburg. 1t will be seen that 925
votes were cast, and that there was a
majority of 81 votes against the Con-
vention. OF these 925 votes, l39 were
negroes. OF the white voters there was
majority Of 6S for the Convention, so
the white folks have the felicity Of be-
ing defeated by the negroes. As only
LOG colored voters could be found for the
purpose Of assessment, it became a
question where the remaining 80 came
from. The question was answered by
themselves. Towards evening gentle
man observed one offering to vote whom
he knew lived as Belpre, and asked him
where he lived. The reply was:
Dnkcy-"I lives in Belpre, Ohio,
you knows dat"
Gent-"Then You can't vote here"
Drkey-"What for / can't vote here,
all de rest of 'em does"
He was not permitted to vote, but
this opened the eyes of the election Off
GERS, and they questioned little closer.
Another presented himself:
QueStion-"Where do you live?
Dmkey-"I Ibis in Ohio, sar, but |
does my voting in West Virginny."
We heard gentleman say that he
recognized four darkies from Belpre in
the crowd about the Court House.
The intelligence Of these voters is
shown by the following incident A
rather youthful looking darkey pre-
sented himself, and the officers having
some doubts about his being Of age. ad-
ministersd to him the usual oath to
answer questions, when the following
dialogue took place:
Qucstion-"lIow old are you?'
Ansucr-"I doesn't know sar
Q.-"Are you twenty-oney
Al doesn't know sar."
Q-"Can't you tell whether you are
twenty.one or not|
A.-"No sar."
In this dilemma, a gentleman whis-
pered in his ear-"you have SW0rn and
you are bound to tell them you are
twehty.one" The effect was electric.
al
Drkcy-"Yes, sar, yes, Use twenty
one, sar, Tse twenty-one," and he was
permitted to vote.
The day after the election, some
strange developments were made. One
darkey said he voted 'gainst the Ven
tion, Gaze if he got 'lected da were
gwine to take away de franchise and
sell dem back to slabery."
Another gave as his excuse, that
they told him he would be hung il be
voted for the Convention. We learn
by the Charleston Free Press that the
same rule Of coercion was practiced in
Jefferson county.

Chesapeake and OHIO Railroad.

A letter from the White Sulphur
Springs in the Washington Patriot
OF Tuesday says:
The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad is
now under contract from this point to
tie Ohio river, TO be com pleted in July,
1872 Its terminus on the Ohio is at or
near the mouth Of the Big Sandy river,
where the town Of Lexington has been
laid out on an extensive scale and
important Improvements already made.
A wealthy company have the matter in
hand, and have built hotels, workshops,
dwellings, wharyes, etc, in readiness for
the fast growing business OF the road.
The town is named after G. p. Hunt
ington, Esq, Of New York, the presi.
dent of,he railroad company. General
Wickham, of Richmond, is the vice
president and the active manager OF the
company.
From Huntington to the Falls Of the
'Kanawha river, a distance Of over q
hundred miles, the road will be finished
and the cars running on it BY the lst OF
October. The connection will be made
from that point to this by q line Of
stages, over Macadamized road. The
distance is about eighty miles. The
whole length of the line is under work,
pushing rapidly forward. From this
place to Millboro' they are making a
new road, 30 as to supersede the heavy
grades OF that portion OF it. When
completed, in July Of next year, there
will be no grade on the road greater
than twenty-one feet to the mile-an
unexampled achievement in scaling the
Alleghanies, and an improvement over
the other projected routes.
The work 10 this section 10 oil the
heaviest description-long. deep cuts,
many culverts, and bridges, and tun-
nels. some of which are over mile in
length and cut through rock. At Hunt
ington, on the Ohio river, bridge Is
under construction, and railways are
already under contract to connect there
from Louisville, Cincinnati, and Toledo.
Il is impossible to conceive the i'm
measurable advantages to arise from
this great enterprise TO Virginia and
West Virginia Washington being now
one Of the centres Of q great railway
network, will receive her portion Of the
benefits.

immense power, that, with simple lever, one
man can press bale Of cotton weighing 500
pounds In five minutes. 1t has also been tried BY
many With the sea island cotton, and several
prominent factors testify that it operates with
equal success, without Injury to the staple. Mr..
