December 10, 1872.
During tho present week your corre-
spondent has visited portions of the above
counties. The Washington and Ohio Rail.
road seems to be doing an increasing BUSH
ness, and we found the conductors polite
and obliging-in very pleasant contrast to
the employees on some other roads, say
the local line.
At Guiford, business is lively--and
waking up in the morning, at the pleasant
residence Of Captain Garrett, the ground
was covered with snow, and more falling.
At the store of Mr.. landlord, the post
master, we found MIR johnson active in
getting up club of subscribers for the
WEEKLY JOURNAL. Here the people
congregated ct the store were earnestly
contending for the general railroad law,
and in favor of stringent dog law.
At Herndon we enjoyed the hospitality
of Mr.. Downing's pleasant family, who
owns one of the most handsomely located
little farms in the county, nicely improved,
and highly favorable for frut-growng. At
this place Miss Baker and Mr.. Smith are
getting up clubs for the WEEKLY jour-
NAL, which will be completed before New
Year. Here is Clarke & Tsylor's, cooper
shop, where the boys were doing staving
business making casks. And here, as
everywhere, the people are advocating the
general railroad law, and also sound dog
law.
At Falls Church some sleighs arc out
running, and business lively. Some
tralisac, IONS in real estate are taking place,
and new subscribers joining the WEEKLY
JOURNAL clubs. G.

RICHMOND INsTITuTE.-This institu-
ton for the training of colored preachers
and teachers, located at the corner of Main
and Nineteenth streets, was established
about five years ago. Superintendent
Rufner reports that during last year
eighty.thrao adult males were in attend
anue, about sixty of whom are prepar-
ing for the ministry. The institu-
ton is open to all denominations, and
instruction is free to ell. Last year, of
those preparing for the ministry, more than
forty were supported, wholly or in part, as
beneficiaries Of the American Baptist Home
Mission Society, under the auspices of
which the school is conducted. There are
at present four regular instructors. Rev.
G. Fl. Corey is the principal.

The Nay Gould ana Erie Settlement.


NEW YORK, December 20.-The settle
ment by Jay Gould with the Erie Rail.
road Company was the main topic of con.
versation throughout the city last night.
1t IS everywhere regarded as q grand tri-
umph for Erie.
The proposal for settlement was COM
municated in letter by Jay Gould, adj
dressed to President Wilson, of the Erie
Railroad, on December II. He stated
that since his resignation of the presi.
dency he had been prepared to make
conveyance to the company of the
property belonging to it, which he
held in his name, but to which he
says he never made any claim. During
his administration he made various pur-
chases of property for the company, with
money of his own, the benefit of which ac-
crued to the road. Upon the construction
placed by Mr.. Watson on his accounts, he
was charge with all the moneys and hence
he believed the properties in aues-
ton belonged to him, and if they
were now transferred, he would
be credited with their value. Owing to the
state in which he was compelled to leave
his accounts on his withdrawal from the
company, and the loss of his account-bo
some things remained unexplained. The
various pieces of real estate in dispute,
therefore, he proposed to convey to the
company, and in addition, the Grand Opera
House and adjacent properties owned by
himself and Fisk. 81 do this" he SAYS,
"for the sake of peace"
Mr.. Watson thereupon replied that he
considered this fair offer and would ct
once lay the subject before a special COM
mittee.
MIR. Gould yesterday, said to reporter,
"Since the Eric war, my object has been
to obtain series of roads under practically
one management, from New York to San
Francisco, and in this way obtain fair
share Of all the traffic on the intervening
route, and that which accrues at the termi.
NUS"
Mr.. Gould's object seems now to en-
nance the price of Erie stocks, to the end
that he may be measurably reimbursed.
