VALLEY RA1LRoAD-CONSERvAT MEETING
DEATH OF A THIEF, &C.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.]
...,G' il STANTON, May l, 1876.
Yesterday morning at o'clock the last
passenger train on the Valley railroad run
under the arrangement with the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company left Staunton
for Harrisonburg, and 4 few hours after
wards train left with all the odd freight
cars and general material belonging to the
Baltimore and Ohio Company. This after
noon at 5 o'clock the first stage leaves for
Harrisonburg. The depot is deserted, and
much regret is felt by our citizens at parting
with Mr.. Samuel NJ. Woodward, the depot
agent: Mr.. Wayt Gibbs, the telegraph ope-
rator, and the other popular employees OF the
company. .. - re
Saturday afternoon large Conservative
ratification meeting was held at the court
house, presided over by Judge John II.
McCue. Addresses were delivered by Mr..
J. NJ. Quarles, Captain S. Travers Phillips,
Captain James Bumgardner, Jr., prose
cutting attorney for the county; Major T..
G.. Elder, prosecuting attorney for the city !;
and Colonel James II. Skinner. Up to this
writing Mr.. James l.. Patterson, clerk OF
the Hastings Court, and Mr.. George -H1ld-
son, commissioner Of the revenue, and Mr..
Heber ker, city treasurer, have not submit
ted their claims to the primary election,
which takes place next Friday. Conserva-
tive voters seem to be centring on Captain
William L. Balthis for the position OF mayor.
He is a merchant, in the prime OF life, and
was a gallant officer OF the Staunton artillery
during the war.
John Hughson, the colored chicken-thief
who was MORALLY wounded by the explosion
of a spring-gun in the chicken-house OF Mr..
Lewis Deffenbaugh on Friday night last,
died in iail about O'Clock Saturday. Coro-
ner f. NJ. Cushing held an inquest, and a
verdict was rendered in accordance with the
facts. The deceased was notorious thief.
The Cold Sulphur Springs, in Rockbridge,
at which there were so many Richmond

JEFF. DAyIs's PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
The Republic magazine for May publishes a
number OF letters never in print before,
said to have been captured with jeff. Da
vis's private correspondence. Among them
is one dated September 80, 1856, from J. NJ.
Mason to Mr.. Davis, saying:
Was there not an appropriation at last
session converting flint into percussion
arms II so, would it not furnish good
reason for extending such facilities to the
southern States? Virginia probably has
and would divide in case OF need.
"In letter, yesterday, to committee in
South Carolina, gave it as my judgment,
in the event of Fremont's election, the
South should not pause, but proceed at
once to immediate, absolute, and eternal
separation So you see am candidate
for tho first halter"

DEDICATION OF 4 CATHEDRAL.-The new
Catholic cathedral at Savannah, Ga, was
dedicated Sunday. There was an immense
attendance from other cities. Archbishop
Bayley of Baltimore, Bishops Quinlan of
Mobile, Lynch of Charleston, Verot OF st.
Augustine, Gibbons of Richmond, and
about thirty clergymen from all parts of the
country, were present. The music was
grand, and particularly the first production
in this country of Carl Greeth's grand mass,
with organ, orchestra OF twenty-eight in
struments, and chorus Of sixty voices. The
dedication sermon was preached by Bishop
Gross by Father Reilly, of Atlanta. At the
evening service the sermon was preached by
Father Waynck, OF Baltimore. Excursion
lists from Charleston, Macon, Augusta, At
lanta, Columbus, Dallas, and other points,
were present

BREAKING CABLEs-It is very evident that
the cable OF the Direct Company has been
purposely broken. 1t is matter Of very
easy accomplishment. A schooner moving
at six miles an hour over the cable line, and
dragging grapnel or anchor, would sever
the wire easily, andvery few would be the
wiser. a small steamer would do the work
more efIectually. .. The direct cable has been
cut four times within six months, and no
one has been ever suspected. That this is
done by spectators OF rivals is very evil
dent. The suggestion is made that specula-
tors may not contine themselves to single
line. There are five cables Of the Anglo
Company within a very limited area-one
between st. Pierre and Duxbury, and four
between Placentia, in Newfoundland, and
Sydney, in Cape Breton. "A little steamer,
armed only with grapnel and Manila rope,
could in two days sever the whole OF these
cables, as the track Of each is mapped out.
The game that has been confined heretofore
to the direct line may yet be practiced on the
old cable.-Brooklyn argus.

ACCIDENTALLY SHoT.-Mrs. J. Hartman,
wife of the proprietor OF the shooting gal
lery on Main street, was accidentally shot in
the eye by an awkward negro on Saturday,
and narrowly escaped with her life. The
bullet, it seems, missed the target, as might
be expected, and struck the plank partition,
penetrating through and striking her in the
eye, completely destroying it and inficting
a very painful wound. She happened to be
standing in the only position in which she
possibly could to have escaped with her life.
