VALLEY RALRoAD.-We understand that at
the meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Valley Railroad Company, in Baltimore, last
week, the executive committee was empowered
to let to contract the sections between Harrison
burg and Staunton as, in its discretion. it may
determine. It is supposed that the sections re-
curing the most work will be let at once, and
that the others will be let in time to be compile
ted as soon as the heavier ones let at an earlier
time. The Board elected Judge Shefey, OF this
place, the Attorney for the Company, at salary
of So 500 per annum. Capt. Geo. E. Price, OF
this place, was elected permanent Secretary, and

For the SPECTATOR.
CONFERENCE III. z. CHURCH SOUTH.
WARRENToN, March It'll, 1872
FIRST DAY


The Baltimore Conference of the M. r.
Church South, was called to order at A. NJ, ,
Bishop Paine, the Senior Bishop of the Church,
In the chair, who conducted the usual religious
exercises Of opening with reading the scrip
lures, singing and prayer.
After filling up the standing committees of
the Conference, the examination of ministerial
character was commenced and continued to
O clock P. M-the hour for adjournment.
There are eleven young men here applying
for admittance to the Conference, they having
passed very creditable examination as to char
acter and qualification.
The preachers are generally present. Dr.
Huston has not arrived as yet. His case will
be disposed of during the Conference Four
of the preachers have died during the year.
Rev. Norvel Wilson preached tonight in the
Baptist Church, which is the largest in the
place.
This is very pretty place, with about 1900
inhabitants. The buildings are not crowded as
they are in your City, but are very handsomely
situated for the most part, with more yard
room than is generally seen. [ am much pleased
with the place, people and the surroundings
The sermon Of Brother Wilson was very i'm
pressive, and addressed particularly to the
preachers Of the Conference, Being the oldest
minister in this Conference, his sermon to the
ministers, on their more diligent discharge of
their duty as such, was therefore the more APP
propriate. He is in feeble health, and his
hands are very tremuous when raised, but his
mind is still very active. May his life be long
spared to the Church, and his usefulness con-
tinued while life lasts
SECOND DAY.
Conference was opened at A. NJ Bishop
Paine in the chair. Religious services by Rev.
T. NJ Mills.
The usual business of the Conference was
gone through with, and Conference adjourned
at Il P. NJ, with the benediction by the Bishop.

DR.. Munsey, I. J. McGruder, and Rev. G. G.
Brook, are to deliver addresses in the interest
of the Sabbath School, at the Baptist Church,
at = o'clock tonight. -
At the hour appointed, Dr..Munsey gave us
his speech, and such a specchf [ wish could
report it-gestures and all-but [ will not at
tempt it. 1t is necessary to hear and see him
to appreciate his inimitable STYLE He is one
of the most remarkable men Of the age. He
was followed by Dr. McFerrin, of Nashville,
who is man of rare talents as an oHhand
speaker He can make you cry at one moment
and laugh with all your might at the next.
He was followed by 7. J. McGruder, who is
called the Bishop Of Sabbath Schools. -
They raised about 1880 for the Sabbath
School Society.

Our Cause of Quarrel with England.

Our cause OF Guarrel WIN England.
From an article in the Enquirer on this sub
iect, we extract the following:
The whole thing is an election ra.se. 1t is to
distract the attention of the American people
from the true issues at home by promising them
war abroad There is not the slightest pro-
liability that the claim which has been set up
by Grant was made in good faith, or intended
seriously. He and his advisers knew that it
had no foundation in reason or equity, but it
would serve good purpose as political cam
paign trumpery, and when no longer useful for
that purpose it could be cast aside. Thus has
our dignifed government trifed with interna-
tional matters of great pith and moment, with
no higher object or worthier motive in view
than would move ward politician to barter for
the services of shoulder hitter or ballot box
suffer.
The ''note'' sent to the English government
| from Washington, of course declines to with
| draw the offensive claim for consequential dam
ages That could not be done without worse
damages and consequences to our very con
seouentiap' President. 1t would be a death
blow now to his aspirations to give up this out
rageous claim without struggle. He makes a
| virtue Of the necessity and enforces it-risking
the entire miscarriage of the treaty rather than
risk the effect it would have upon his nomina-
| ton and reelection. The President does not
and never did believe in the justice of this
claim; and he was perfectly aware, too, that it
would be looked upon as an insult by England
but it will serve his purpose OF delay 10 settling
| the difficulties with England which it is to his
| personal interest should be in threatening and
alarming attitude during the approaching cam
paign
We may, therefore, look for continued dis
cussion of this Alabama arbitration consequent
tial-damage question, without any prospect of
settlement before the Presidential election takes
place The opponents of Grants administra-
ton should take this matter seriously into con-
sideration, and show up the political trickery
which lies at the bottom of it, and thereby de-
prive the Radical party Of the aid and comfort
they expect to draw from this quarter.
This inconsistency of President Grant in
making this demand upon Great Britain tor
damages, in view Of the recent exposure made
by Senator Schurz, is quite comical, and if
places him in q very ridiculous light indeed be-
fore the world. We shall expect to see Eng
lands claim paid when the equally, it not more
inst claim Of Germany shall have been liquidat-
ed for the arms furnished to Gambetta, and
the millennium will arrive before either will be
settled. One, however, in political point Of
view. may offset the other, for what Grant will
cain bv agitatiug the war with England he will
Iose bv the detection of the Germans, whom he
has SO Justly offended by armipg the French a.
gainst their Fatherland.
