AN APPROPRIATE TEsTIMoNIAL.-We are graf
fled to learn that the liberal and en- lightened
policy of Johns Hopkins, Esq, of Baltimore in
regard to the great Valley OF Virginia, and the
important improvement. the final contamination
of which is so materially to contribute to the
prosperity of our people, is to receive apprpprl-
ate and BETTING recognition. It is purposed on
the completion of the Valley Railroad to staun
ton, to have erected, at private expense, monu
ment to perpetuate the remembrance OF the IN
selfish interest Mr.. Hopkins has manifested in
the enterprise and to place upon it an inscription
that will hand his name down to posterity as
the Father ofthe Valley Railroad. Mr.. Hopkins
has shown public in terest and personal attach
ment to the great Shenandoah Valley, by tender.
ing the influence of his name and the use Of his
large wealth, to place beyond question the abili
ty of the counties along the Road to comply with
heir obligations, which have placed him far above
the merely ambitious Spectator. and attracted to
him the gratitude of our people of all classes Ii
the present expectations of the friends of the
road do not fail of realization, and they will not
if the plighted faith of the city of Baltimore and
the controlling powers connect ed with the Valley
road is not forfeited, the long delayed execution
Of the promise to put the entire work under con
tract, will be speedily accomplished.
1t would be fitting tribute to the friendship
Mr.. Johns Hopkins has shown, to have erected at
this place, a monument. suitably expressive of
the sentiment Of the friends of the road, and
which will tell of the large hearted and public
spirited gentleman whose comprehensive mind
will have been the source of the success, when
the fra1l tenement shall have dissolved into its
original dust.
