HON. JOHN F. LEWIS.

A paragraph is being industriously circu.
lated by the conservative press, purporting tc
give the substance Of an interview between
Col. r. M. Hughes, and the editor of the
Montgomery County Messenger. Col Hughes
is represented as saying that Lewis was mere
Iva puppet iu the hands of his son-in law. J.
Amber Smith, &C. We do not believe that
COL Hughes ever made such a remark. It is
due to him, however, as we'll as to Senator
Lewis, that this paragraph should be author
itatively corrected It is we'll known that
John r. Lewis is a 'puppet" in the hands of
no man, or set of men. He is a. heightened
gentleman, who is governed by high sense
of right in whatever he does, and above the
selfish uses Of any one. We have known
him from our boyhood, and never met with a
gentleman, whom we believed to bt& Htmed
by more sincere convictions. He has may
warm friends, not only in his native Valley,
but throughout the State, who will indignant
ly repel such an imputation upon his charae-
ter.

VALLEY RAILROAD,

The Valley Railroad, we can now state
positively,is under contract throughout its eu-
tire length, and work will be energetica.ly
commenced on it between StauntoD and Salem,
as soon as the Chief Engineer, gives the
proper instructions. There we're some one
or two features Of the contract that appear.
ed to be somewhat obscure, and liable
to misconstruction. To remedy this, and
have everything clear and explicit, Col. A.
W. Hartman and Capt. T. K. Meuefee, Of the
contractors, and Judge Shelley, of counsel
for the road, went to Baltimore last week,
and had everything fixed up right to the sat
isfaction of all parties. Arrangements were
also made as regards some of the county
bonds, SO that 30 embarrassment could arise
to the ontractors by reason OF carrying too
heavy q load of them.
We are gratifed to make this statement,
aud to do SO without any doubt as to its en-
tire reliability. The Valley Railroad is to
be constructed as soon as men and money can
accomplish it, Notwithstanding Col. Watts
and his guerrilla war in Botetourt, which is
merely so much buster Botetourt will have
to pay her bonds, as we'll as all the other
counties that have subscri5ed, and the less
squirming about it the better.
Since the above was written we learn that
orders have been received for work to be
commenced at once, on the heavy sections of
the line. These will embrace localities in all
Of the counties probably. especially at Lex
ington, in Rockbridse, and near Buchanan,
in Botetourt.

1t is an every day occurrence for those who
will not give in their adhesion to what is
called the conservative party of.Virginia, to
be designated radicals" This is about the
extent Of the argument that the so-called
Conservative press of Virginia is able to COM
nand. We support the laws of the land,
and the constitution of the country as they
stand We support the administration of
President Grant because it is pledged to car
~ out those laws and enforce the constitu-
ton. We do this from broad national un-
Outstanding Of our duty as citizen at Vir-
ginia, whose people and Legislature have OBJ
ligated themselves in every conceivable form
to do precisely what We are doing. What is
there radical" in this2 TO DO otherwise
would be to violate our obligations, stultify
o r sense of right, and publish to the world
the brazen and gross deception that had con-
st.t I'D our sction heretofore.

The political fedeling that flu tiers around
the Old Commonwealth Office seems lust to
have awakened from the effects of a dose OF
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. He evi
IDENTIFY has been quietly snoozipg in the ifs
sures Of the lava beds, unconscious of what
was going on in the progressive world out
side. Old Rip Van Wrinkle doesn't begin to
compare with him. Is he not aware that
the people of Virginia endorsed the 18th,
18th and 18th amendments By ninety thous-
and majority? Is he ignorant of the fact
that the conservative party supported Walker
Tor Governor, who claims to have been the
author Of the 18th amendment? Does he
not know that the Conservative Convention
OF Virginia endorsed the Cincinnati Balti-
more platform without crossing or dotting
an T. and instructed their delegates to vote
for Greeley, who had never modified or re.
canted his social equality and anaa1yan,atioa
sentiments Does he not know that Sum
ner acted in concert with the conservatives Of
Virginia in support of Greeley, and that
one of his complaints against Grant was that
he opposed the civil rights bill he introduced?
Where is the "protest" that majority of
the so called conservatives entered TO all
this? We have never seen it, nor did they
ever put it upon record that the Greeley
platform was ''ouly binding to the end Of the
campaign, and, if clicked, to the end of the
term" That dodge won't do, but is entirely
Characteristic of party that has no princi-
Pile of either state or national policy. It is
the unconscious acknowledgment of an at
tempt at moastrous fraud--an unmiticated
and outrageous deception-which our unso-
phisticated neighbor has very imprudently
confessed.
The Conservative party of Virginia cannot
wiggle out Of the responsibility of the Gree
ley campaign" They are Irresponsible" for
the endorsatsoa of his peculiar views" for
they did it, with out any reservation They.
wanted to succeed and they did not care
whether it was "Bli6l and Black George"
or the "Puritan and Blackleg," they coop
Grated with, OR the devil himself "Any-
thing to beat Grant" That was the plat
form. Now let them stand by what they did
They will be held to it, whether they like
it or not, and the best way is to take the
thing easy.
We will inform our contemporary that the
people among whom he is now negotiating are
aot very apt to mistake pop-guns for "bomb-
Shells" They were not frightened. We
would also remind him of the little fable, in
which it is reported an ambitious toad burs-

ACTION OF THE COMPANY.

AG meeting OF the ETeSluchl "nu Diiee
tors of the Washington, Cincinnati and st.
Louis Narrow Gauge railroad, held in Har-
risonburg on the lth inst, the tlrst sixty
miles Of the road from Harrisonburg to Mon
terry was let to contributions A. Lowen-
bach, of Harrisonburg, and j. w. +. Ale
moug, of Bridgcwater, being the contractors.
This is the substance of the dispatch received
and is all that wa know of it. The contrac-
tors are gentlemen oflarge properties, great
business and financial capacities, and can
command ample means to prosecute the work,
which is to be commenced within ten days
from the date of the contract, and completed
within twelve months.
This is the most cheering intelligence we
have received for long time. We regard
this enterprise as one of the most important
that could engage the attention Of the people
of Rockingham and west Augusta. 1t runs
through aavcry fertile agricultural country,
now virtually closed to market, and will de

contineut-far surprising in the extent OF
territory and the abundance of iron and coal,
the far-famed Pennsylvania section.
We have no reason to doubt the substantial
truth Of the information as to the letting of
the contract, and if it is SO, it is the inaugu-
| ration Of new era of enterprise and prosper
ity for Harrisonburg, and all the intermediate
country to Monterey, Highland, and on to
the coal fields of Webster. There is no
where to be found such inexhaustible depos
its Of the best IRON ores as will be developed
in Highland county, and no such coal fields
as in Webster. Pocahontas, too, is a success
sion of mineral beds along the line of the
road and contiguous to it. We venture the
assertion that in less than Eve years after this
work is earnestly undertaken there will be
twenty blast furnaces in operation along the
route. A ton of pig iron can DO gotten out
ready for market for less than ton of the
simple ore can be obtained in Pittsburg
Mountains Of iron ore, of the richest quality,
and inexhaustible mines Of coal will be in
close approximation, and with the facilities
of transportation the railroad will furnish,
millions of capital will seek investment in
such enterprises.
Since the above was in type, we learn from
an intelligent correspondent at Harrisonburg,
that Mr.. Lowenbach takes the contract from
Harrisonburg to Bridgewater. and Mr.. Ale
mong from Bridgewater to Monterey. We
also hear from the same source that the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad will advance $4,000
on each mile Of the road for grading, and
that the same company will cash the $50 ,000
bonds of the corporation Of Harrisonburg
and the $4,000 Of IIighla nd county. The
work from Bridgewater to Monterey is to be
commenced Oh the 21st and that from Harri-
sonburg to Bridgewater on or before the Goth
lest, and to be completed by tie 18th OF
March, 1874.
Our correspondent, who is wide awake
public spirited man, issanguine that the roae
will bo~ speedily constructed according II
