The Valley Railroad.

A very large meeting was held in Clarks-
Vile, Mccklenburg county, on Tuesday, to
consider the project OF rebuilding the koa-
noke Valley railroad. DR.. w. ID. HAsKINs
presided, and Major DowSER and THOMAS
r. HUMPHREYS were secretaries. adj
dresses were made by Messrs. HENRY
Woop, ERASMUS II. HARRIS, STERLING +.
THRowER, and w. w. WooD.
Resolutions We're unanimously adopted
commencing the enterprise of rebuilding
the Valley road TO the support of the peo-
pie, ard endorsing MessrS. W. w. WOOD
and Holt, who represent the capitalists
who propose To build the road, rs worthy
oi the confidence OF the community.
Nineteen thousand dollars were sub
scribed to the enterprise. IL is only asked
that ninety-three thousand dollars shall he
subscribed by the people to help build the
road from Keysville 10 Clarksvillc.
A grand barbecue was given on the occa'
sion, which was spread before some eight
hundred people. 1t was the largest assem-
blage that has taken place in Mecklenburg
since the war. The unauimity that pre-
vailed was quite remarkable. Surely where
no one opposes the enterprise there can be
no doubt Of its success; and yet possibly u
little opposition would be all the better, US
it would warm up the friends of the work
Sometimes unanimity bcgcts apathy. Oul
friends should avoid that.
To-day the barbecue at Buffalo Springs
will! come off, 1t is the next in succession
10 that Of GAINESVILLE to arouse the public
to the support of the project of rebuilding
the railroad.

Halifax,

Halifax was the first county to respond
to the call for q Convention Of Conserva-
tives for the purpose Of reorganization.
On Monday last tcourt-day) the people
met, and after hearing able speeches from
Msjor w. W. WOOD and CHARLES L. DAB
NEY, adopted resolutions endorsing the
call of Convention; also endorsing Con-
sentative principles, including the "new
departure" A delegation Of one from each
township was appointed to represent Hall
fax in the Convention.
This movement in Halifax is creditable to
that sterling old county. She has great
deal at stake, and good government is as
important to her as any other county in the
State. Her agricultural resources are grand,
and she would suffer heavily indeed from
the depressing and ruinous consequencesoi
the rule of incompetent and ignorant men.
Her example rs the first i'll the field to re-
spond TO the Gull for u Convention, and her
wise act in firmly taking her stand upon the
platform OF the Conservatives, we trust
will be maintained by the activity and zeal
with which she will fight out the campaign.
Such an example will be Invaluable to her
compatrlots in the struggle. In the last
election she was the banner county. Will
she surrender the flag.

GUELPH AND CAMPBELL.-The Prince of
Wales and the Marquis Of Lorne are evil
IDENTITY not on good terms, if we may judge
from the following, which appeared in the
Dundee Advertiser, which paper had it
from its London correspondent:
"a curious story is in circulation with
regard to the relations Of the Marquis OF
Lorne and the Princess Louise to the ether
members of the royal family. l believe that
ut the Duke OF sutherlanfs banquet to the
Russian Grand Duke, now in this country,
the Marquis and Princess we've treated us
members of the royal family. The Prince
of Wales, however, will not accept this
view of the position, and at the state ball
the other night gave orders that he Mar
quis should not be admitted at the royaI
entrance. he was accordingly refused i'd
mittance. and the Princess declined to EN-.
ter except with her husband, saying that
her place was where he was. The MARQUIS
would not take the Princess in by The gen
eral public entrance, and the result was
that they did not attend the ball. The cir
cumstance has caused good deal OF talk in
upper circles"

The KUKLux ACT AND MARTIAL LAW
AS neither the Enquirer nor the State
Journal has yet acknowledged that under
the kuklux act the President may declare
martial law, we must continue to try 10
convince them that such is the fact. We
have already quoted the opinion OF Hon.
J. 5. BLACK and Hon. j. G. CARLISLE l" lhia
effect. We now quote from the last issue
of the New York World:
Under this law the President may
when he sees fit, declare the State to be in
rebellion against the United States, ana
put al under martial lao in the most ALSO
lutte manner, such law to be executed at
| the Presidents pleasure by employment q
| the military, or the army and navy, or any
other means he may choose to adopt"
