Railroad Enterprises in MeckIenburG.
Observation-Disclosures Of he RIchmnnd DispaIcn,l

: BUFFALO SPRINGS, August 8, 1874.
To-day there has been railroad barbecue
at Chrksville. Notwithstanding that the
weather was wet and showery, there was a
large and Influential attendance, and the ut
most enthusiasm manifested.
Messrs. Harris and GeOghegun delivered
powerful addresses in favor of the su5scrip-
ton for re0pening the railroad from Manson
junction to GAINESVILLE. "Ras' Harris was
particularly forcible in his appeals to the
citizens: stating that, while he was prepared
TO take the stump in aid of the movement
he should not do so until Clarksyille had
headed the list with suitable amount. The
So, 1000 already promised, Dir. Harris stated
TO be not nearly the sum ClarkSYlle ought
to raise; and he eloquently urged those who
had the means to subscribe literally.
At the close of the speeches Captain W.
z. Webb, of Boy dton. one Of the most en-
terprising merchants in Southside Virginia,
came forward and undertook, if certain
number of Others would follow his example,
to subscribe s. 900. This proposal appeared
to electrify the citizens, as it opened up D
immediate prospect Of success. An active
canvass for the subscriptions necessary to Sc
cure the acceptance Of Captain Webb's
princely offer was started, with every hope
of realization.
1t will thus be seen that the Manson Line
will soon be I'm fat accomph, and unless
| Richmond acts at once the time for action
| will be gone by. Messrs. L. Z. Finch and
George A. Endly will meet the Danville
Board on the 18th, and will afterwards con-
fer with A. L. Elicit, Esq, and other promi-
nent citizens.
1t depends on the reception accorded to
Messrs. Finch and Endly whether Richmond
loses the important trade of this section, OF
firmly secures hold of wide extent Of
country which is among the most prosper.
Gus portions of the State, and which, with
railroad privileges, will soon be fully colo
nized by northern and European capitalists
Now or never is the time for President Blu
ford and his colleagues to act.
At the Springs We are oil as "jolly" a.
the proverbial "sand-bags." Captain Coke
and S. G. Atkins are among our Richmond
guests. Visitors from Tennessee, Georgia
South Carolina, Maryland, Mississippi, ant
other States have lately arrived. They hat
all heard of the Lithia water, and went t
test its virtues. In no case as yet has thi
wonderful spring failed to give relief, and il
most cases it has worked cures. The beau
tiful groves and pleasant retreats of "Olt
Buffalo" are now crowded with brillian
company OF ladies and gentlemen, all vastl
enjoying themselves. III. W. r.

TEE RAILRoAD.-We learn from those who
know that the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road, under its present efficient manage.
ment, is increasing in business every month.
That, Notwithstanding the western connec.
tons are uucompleted, and from this point
west all the connections are By water, it is
sometimes the case that the trains after they
are loaded are kept standing here for want of
power to move them. There are over a
hundred locomotives in Use on the road, and
it will be readily seen that the freightage
must be immense. As the coal mines be-
como more developed the quantity shipped
increases, and this alone will give employ.
ment to large number of engines.
When the bridge across the Ohio is com
pleted, and the Southern Ohio and the Lex.
lngton and Rig Sandy roads connected al
this point, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
will be compelled to double their rolling
stock, and to have double track all the way
to Richmond Huntington Advertiser.

essays to show that Mr.. Justice BRADLEY has

1t is TO be noted also that this election marks

cast, and the papable effects it has had on

plainly presage that tine Republican party

TRADE-UHIoS MURDER IN WILLIAMSBURG,
y. I.-For some time past bitter feeling
has existed among the society men in the
various trade unions of the Eastern District,
Brooklyn, since the recent difficulties with
the coopers. The terrible Dryer tragedy,
however, in which mother killed her three
children because her husband would not
work, put quietus on the Coopers, Union
aud ended the strike. Then the plasterers
and maSous took up the quarrel against non-
society men, which eliminated in the muir
der of society man last night in Williams
burg.
1t appears that three "society men," who
had knocked Off work at O'Clock, visited a
row of tenement houses in course of erec-
ton, and commenced to quarrel with the
non-society men," who continued to work
until o'clock. Their jibes and insults led
to assault upon the workmen, and despe.
rate fight ensued, in which james kilduif
was struck on the head by the private watch
man of the premises, and almost instantly
killed. An immense multitude assembled,
