GEN. JACKSON AND KAILRoADs.-Whil
Gen. Andrew Jackson was President of the
United States from 1929 to 1887, be was accns
toned to travel 10 bis private carriage from
Washington to his home at the Hermitage, in
Tennessee. At all the stopping places on the
route, the people of the vicinity assembled to
greet him and hold friendly intercourse tcgeth-
err In the Summer of 1886 while passing
through the Valley of Virginia, he stopped to
pass the night in a small village in Rockbridge
county. As was his custom, he had friendly
chat with those who called to see him. Rail
roads, at that day were few, and the public
were talking and soeculating upon their success
and usefulness. Gen. Jackson told his hearers
that they would succeed, and become very pop
ular and turning to several young men pres
ent, he said Young gentlemen, You will live
to see the day when these roads will become
great monopolies, controlling the State Legis-
la:ures, and even Congress itself; in fact, they
will be worse than the United States Bank"
One of these young men who heard President
jackson make the above prediction, thinks he
has lived to see all that ''Old Hickory then
predicted.-Jef Republacan.

Cent8ur LinIment.

There is no pain which the Centaur Lniment
will not relieve no swelling it will not subdue,
and no lameness which it will not cure. This is
strong language, but it is true Where the parts
are not gone, its effects are marvellous. 1t has
produced more cures of rheumatism, neuralgia,
lockjaw, palsy, sprains, swellings, caked-breasts
scalds, burns salt-rheum, ear-ache, &C., upon
the human Frame and of strains, SPAWN, gals,
&C., upon animals in one year than have all 9TH
err pretended remedies since the world began
1t is a counter-irritant, an all-healing pain re-
lever. Cripples throw away their crutches, the
lame walk. poisonous bites are rendered harm
less, and the wounded are healed without scar.
1t is no humbug. The recipe is published around
each bottle 1t is selling as no article ever before
sold, and it sells because it does just what it pre-
tends to do. Those who now suffer from rheu-
matism, pain or swelling, deserve to suffer il

1000 certificates Of remarkable cures, including
frozen limbs, chronic rheumatism, govt, run

OUR VALLEY SKETcHEs.-This week we come

narrative of ''76" until next issue. After the

and while thanking all who have so kindly
aided US Especially Col. B. Christian, from
whom We quote literally this week, and Major
j. M. McCue,) we must again urge others to
come squarely up to the work; among them the
Hogsheads, Fultons. Halls, Patricks and others,
all descendants of old settlers, whose family his
tory we must have to make our sketch of old
Augusta complete. We will also give sketch
of each village, and daily find out new facts and

again urge the papers throughout the State to
prepare similar sketches and forward them to
the State Library, Richmond. as the only way
to group together good general history of Vir-
GINA and West Virginia.

VALUABLE INvENTIoN.-Augusta mechanical
genius has long been noted, and every day adds
to the list of valuable inventions made by her
sons. Mr. VIM. h Waddell has shown us the
model of newly invented car coupler, which
far surpasses anything Of the kind we ever saw,
in simplicity, completeness, and durability. It
is so arranged that the brakeman has only to
press his foot upon pivot spring, and the car
uncouples, while hundred run together will
couple themselves st once. It avoids the dan
gers of the old methods and must come into
general use, when known. Messrs. L. and W.
q. Waddell are the patentees, and Mr. A. Lutz
is a partner in their manufacture.

its improved axles and springs, and is the very
thing for the Valley, as we'll as the city USE
Mr.. Ned Burke has purchased this splendid
piece of work, and added it to his fine assert
ment of livery fixtures. Ned's 'head is level
on sustaining our own workmen, and if every
one would follow his example, this city can sur.
pass any in the State for its manufactures.

| A GREAT R. r. CITY.-It is now settled that
| such Staunton is to be in the no distant future.
| Her central position rich back country, immense
near and immediate iron resources great schools,
energetic population and her general advanta-
ges, too numerous to mention, render it certain.
But we must not spare effort to make her the
first city in the interior. The Valley r. r. will
have its shops here, and with G. & o. r. r.
shops, add 5000 to her population. Houses and
lots should be sold or rented cheap to their
| workmen-the School system perfected, and the
| market made free. Then the S. Y. r. R. must
| be brought here, and branch be built to Mt.
Scion, to connect with Narrow Guage to St.
Louis and Washington The Washington Air
Line will come in good time, and with con-
tinued display Of the energy and liberality that
has so long characterized citizens, our future
| is grander than the most enthusiastic now dare
dream of or calculate upon. A monument
should be erected to the old settlers of the Val
| ley. A public Park is needed and the land
should be bought now, before it gets higher, and
the work commenced. Public spirit will soon
make it all it should be- A Mechanics institute
| and Museum of records, minerals, and natural
curiosties, should adorn the city, and good
public Hall be attached to it. A full supply OF
water is indispensable. We mention but a few
of the many improvements so obviously needed,
and feel sure the city will meet the demands
made upon her and be equal to the occasion.
BRIEFs.-The Cholera in New Orleans should
cause a strict enforcement of sanitary regula-
tons here.
Otey Goode sells good goods, and is as good a
fellow to trade for goods with as you will find in
this goodly city. Give him good trial and you
will feel good all over.
Mcmahon & McQuaide's wild African Modoc,
dressed in fiery red, still announces auctions and

ing description of our city to that paper. He
contrasts its life. energy and activity with other
sleepy towns and devotes considerable space to
the beauty of the place. Among the main fea-
lures he speaks in high terms of Charley Haines'
cigar business, and pronounces his cigars supe-
rior to any in the State, and also alludes to his
large and growing trade with Philadelphia and
New York, the West and South. This is well
deserved. Charley Haines served four years for
his rights and like all true soldiers. went faith
fully to work for what was left, after he lost
them, and success has crowned his efforts.
