The Valley Railroad.

A meeting of the general subscrlp-
ton committee for raising the quota Of
this city for the Valley railroad was
held yesterday afternoon, and several
excellent local committees were ap'
pointed to assist in working up the
subscription to the amount required.
OF all the cities on the route, Cleveland
alone is behind with her subscription,
and we are glad to know that the com
mittee is at work and determined to
close up the list in the shortest posi-
bic time. The orly cause for delay in
beginning work on the road
is the backwardness Of our city
in furnishing its proportion OF
the funds. This fact ought to
stimulate our citizens, from mere shame,
il not by self.interest, TO respond prompt
lv and literally to the call OF the com.
mirtee, so that ground may be broken on
this important work at once, and as
much progress a. possible made before
winter sets iD. President Farmer re-
ports that the engineering party have
made very careful survey. commencing
at the point where the Atlantic aud
Great Western railroad crosses the
Central Way. for distance Of eighteen
miles up the Valley. The survey shows
that the route is more feasible and
cheaper for construction than even the
most sanguine friends Of the enterprise
have hoped. We suppose that there
is not man in Cleveland who does not
say emphatically that the Valley Road
must be built. But We apprebeud there
are some hundreds who would be very
glad TO have it built with other peoples
money than their own. But there is
no time now for hanging back and
waiting for other folks to do the work
and pay the bills. Every man called
upon by the Soliciting Committee
should respond with a liberal subscrip-
tion.-Cgsland Leader, %.

WASHINGTON.
The Postal telegraph.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The postal
telegraph proposition will be submitted
to Congress by the President in his
annual message in November, and there
is a fair probability of some action
being taken next session. Whichever
way the November election may go the
next administration will probably see
the telegraph and the Postoffice united
under one management and the tariff
reduced to a rate which will compare
with those OF the government telegraph
in Europe. Mr.. B. Grstz Brown, the
Liberal candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency, is an earnest advocate OF the
proposition, and this fact may be said
to have originated it in the Senate, al
though it dates back in the House to
lS45, when it was recommended by a
special committee appointed to consider
Professor Morses efforts to sell his
lines to the Government.
Negro Shot.
Phil Lancaster, colored, was shot by
another notorious negro thief, named
Burnett, near Murder Bay, to-day.

Extra shops in this county, at cost OF
not less than 100000, providing the

HAT they had only the power to release
he road from past and present taxation.

ment presented by the railroad COM
pany, and which is almost identical with

Last week we were in Leesyille, Car.

completely surprised at the enthusiasm
existing there in favor of the above
mentioned road. The committee were
hard at work, riding and walking over
the country, drumming up the people
not only OF their own township, but OF
the townships adjoining, in both Harri,

Thursday Adair and Price went to New

Leesville is situated will vote on levying
a tax Of $4,000 next Saturday, and
the friends OF the road have no doubt
OF being able to carry it, and raise
$4,000 stock besides. On Thursday
glorious news came from Bethlehem
township, Stark county. That town
ship had carried the vote to levy
tax of $4,000, by very respectable
majority. This created still greater ex.
citement in Leesville, and many who
had been weakened before, now
straightened up and took courage. We
thought few weeks ago that this route
would scarcely be able to secure the
road, but when we see such energy as
is displayed at Leesville, Msstersville
and Hopedsle, and hear such encour-
aging news from Navarro, New Cum.

think we were mistaken. Surely, peo-
pie who labor 80 earnestly and unceas-

may get it. The people along the Cadiz,

As far as New Philadelphia is con

There is no need, and little probability
Of war between England and the United

a prominent French journal:
Both sides keep their gloves on, but
fists are clenched, and the kid May give
way at any moment The American
seems to desire war as much as the stiff
and cold Engiishman appears 30 dread it.
What would happen should war be de-
clared England, being unable to avert
it, cannot prepare openly for the struggle
(sjc). America, if inferior as to naval
forces, does not dread England, and feels
victorious already. The sea tigers of
Farragut and Buchanan are capable of
anything. With theiT colossal forces the
English have everything to fear witch
their Inferior forces the Americans dread
nothing. The American coast is IMAGES
sible to England, and is everywhere de-
Tended Engl>nd is vulnerable along
nearly the whole Of her shores. The
Americans have proved, in a manner at
once sublime and ferocioUs, that the least
possibility of war is for them facility
(sjcl neither England nor the = aited
States in case of q rupture will be able to
make ostensible naval preparations but
neither one nor the other would be taken
at such disadvantage as the French
fleet during the last war.

PROG RESS.

This world is discovered by degrees.
Columbus ran across this great continent
OF America, and was immortalized ; but
he discovered very little; he would not
know the America Of to-day. Another
man has followed the winding of brook
let until he has seen it swell into the
great ocean, and giving to the river his
own name, his fame has been given to
posterity. One man has dug into the
bowels OF the earth, and brought forth
minerals another has told US of the
flowers. Thus the lapse of time is marked
by increase Of knowledge. The world
gets more beautiful as it advances Bad
men and mean animals are passing away,
and new ones will take their places. The
waste places of the earth arc breathing a
8 pirit of lifs; the march Of civilization is
steady and sure. Even as the world has
grown in the past, SO, it will grow in the
future.
