The Rockingham Register says the work of
commencing the construction of the N. Il. r.,
was formally inaugurated on last Wednesday, by
the breaking of ground in or near the village of
Bridgewater. There had been no public ad
vertisement of the contemplated demonstration.
consequently there were not a great many stran-
gers present to witness the ceremonies, which
were very simple yet full of significance. Capt.
Henry NJ. Clay, who. Ia connection with that
enterprising, go-ahead gentleman, Rev. r. N.
Pool, originated this enterprise In few point
ed and handsome remarks, introduced Rev.
Prof. Jos. S. Loose, of Rockingham county,
who delivered short but very appropriate ad-
dress, after which the first shovel full of earth
was thrown up by Adam RAIDER, the Oldest citi-
zen of the town, whose head had been whiten-
ed by the SHOWS of more than four score years.
The example set by Mr.. RAIDER was then fol-
seemed anxious to have hand in throwing the
first dirt of this improvement.
A letter from Richmond in the Baltimore
Sun says:-''It is matter of great congratu-
lation amongst the people of Virginia that des-
pite the uDpromislug prospect few months
ago, the State is now able and the treasury pre-
pared to pay four per cent interest for 1872
and '73. For the two per cent interest due
and not paid interest certificates" are given,
which are readily sold in the market here for
reasonable price. Next year probably we will
pay six per cent interest, and that without i'm
posing any additional burden of taxation upon
property-owners. The public debt complication
was one of the greatest troubles entailed upon
US by the war, and now we are happily being
relieved of it, and for the future there is a
bright hope that Virginia credit will be made
as sound and healthy as ever before. ,,

10 THE TEACHERS OF STAUNTON AND VI
c!NITY-The Educational Association of Vir-
ginla holds Its next Annual Meeting at Alexan-
drla' on the second Tuesday 18th of July, 1873
Inc executive Committee earnestly invites the
Teachers of Virginia to attend this meeting.
This Association, which is devoted impartial
ly to the Interests of education in Virginia. offers
a most appropriate centre of professional union
State; and the representatives of every grade OF
schools may properly and proftably take part
IN Its discussions and deliberations
Especially the Teachers of the Public Schools,
when now constitutes so impartant a part of the
public policy of the State are invited to become
members of the Association, and to attend its
meetings. The Association already embraces
most OF our leading private teachers and it is
equally desirable that the public schools should
be htly represented in its membership and in its
transactions. The annual union of pubic and
private teachers in such an association cannot
fail to result In benefit to all classes of schools
and must contribute to that mutual sympathy,
and that unity OF professional sentiment and
purpose, which are so important for the devel-
opment of education in Virginia.
At this day, in every business and profession,
the necessity of broad and far-reaching co-ope-
ration is acknowledged. The era of isolated in
dlvlduallsm is past--ncver to return. Public
sentiment is now directed, and public policy de-
termined, by bodies of men, acting together for
common objects, rather than by single personal
influences. The great body of Virginia teach
ers. therefore, should recognize the true unity
of their professional interests and seek to realize
their just influence in shaping the character and
destiny ofour State. AS an organization in be-
half Of this object the EDUCATIONAL AssoCIA.
TON OF VIRGINIA needs only the presence OF 8
full representation of teachers to give it all the
influence and usefulness to which itshouid justly
be entitled.
Arrangements will be effected with the vari
transportation for the benefit of achers
attending the Association, and ample provision
will be made in Alexandria for their accommo.
dation. An inviting programme Of both bust
ness and recreation has been prepared. Persons
proposing to attend the meeting are requested tt

The Radical Situation,

Judging from various signs of the times, the
Radical situation in Virginia is somewhat COM
plicated The Hughes men, though first in the
field, do not seem to have every thing their own
way. A section Of the party, said to be grow
ing in strength, from the nomination of Edward
Mcmahon, of Stanton. Mcmahon has had a
good deal to do with the building of railroads
and other Improvements, and is said to be
wealthy and popular. Then, there is alleged
to be third party Gen. Grant, who favors Mos
by's plan of making no nomination, and leav-
ing the field open to an Independent candidate
It would be strange sight to behold General
Wise, who sent John Brown to the gallows,
and whose ''Ebo shin and Gizzard Foot" have
become stereotyped, marching upon the white
men of Virginia, backed up by Gen. Grant aud
the negroes of Virginia iu solid phalaux.
Mr.. Hughes has more capacity than auy man
of his faction, but he is long way eff from the
Governorship. Lynchburg Ne,os, Of 18th.
