A letter from Richmond in the Baltimore
Sun says:-'The Piedmont Airline, from
Richmond to Atlanta, Ca, distance Of nearly
600 miles, will certainly be open by the 18th OF
August. But trouble stares the company in
the face. The North Carolina road: which
they have acquired, and which for 90 miles
forms part of their main line, is Of different
gauge from the northern and southern ends
They started to change it to- conform with the
rest, when an injunction, procured by certain
ockholders, was served against them and the
matter now hangs fire in court. Until the gauge
can be made uniform the effectiveness of the
line for freight purposes will be sadly deprecia-
ted After the 18th of August there will be
continuous railway lines from Richmond to
Galveston, Texas"

the utmost economy consistent with necessity
will be practiced by the builders. 1t is stated
that when the buildings now being erected

Navy Department edices new in use will be
torn down, and the land they occupy made a
part Of the surrounding park"

WEDNESDAY, AUGUSTA, 1878

CALLING FOR A1D.-The Washington cor
respondent Of the Baltimore Sun says Col.
Hughes, Republican candidate for Governor of
Virginia Richard H. Carter, of Fauquler,
chairman of the State committee; L. B. Chaud-
Ter, and other prominent Republicans of the
Old Dominion, arrived in town to-day, and
have been busily engaged 10 preparations tor
the fall campaign. Colonel Hughes aud Mr.
Chandler had interviews with President Grant
this afternoon in which they made full state
meut of the condition of political affairs in Nir-
GINA, and requested recognition by the federal
government of the ticket nominated, at Lynch
burg as that OF the genuine and positive lie
publican party of the State. They did not ask
for federal interference with matters OF the
campaign, and say they do not desire it. II
they do not want federal interference" pray
what was the use for asking for recognition
by the federal government of the ticket noml-
mated at Lynchburg'? Will not the people Of
Virginia rebuke this proceeding? Is the Ad-
miuistraton to be invoked to aid in controlling
the politics of the State of Virginia?

In notice of the death Of the late Maj
Vaughn, in Richmond, the State Journal says
"A distinguishing trait Of the deceased was ar
utter want of fear. At the close OF the Mex'-
can war, he repaired alone from Petersburg to
Texas and arrested Captain Epes, of Dinwiddie
who murdered F. Adolphus Muir for money,
Epes being doubly armed at the time, and
swearing he could not be taken alive. Major
Vaughn brought his prisoner to Petersburg,
prevented mob from tearing him to pieces on
his arrival, and afterwards witnessed his execu
ton near the scene of his crime.
