W DlgEcr TRADE BETWEEN LIVER
POOL And SnkPuERDsTowN.-By refer
.nce to "IIenDings Statutes at Large
it will be seen that, long before the
Revolutionary war, ShepherdstoSn was
declared, by law, TO be "a port OF en-
try, but wemust confess that the lmporta-
tions to our place, from what sold
Hickory" used to call Foreign parts,
have been few and far between. So,
We are especially pleased to chronicle
the fact, that our enterprising friend,
Dir. G. r. Lickhdsr, has, this week, re-
ceiyed and is now opening at his new
store, on German Street, an assortment
of fresh goods, some of which arc direct
jmportations from England in their orig
jnsl packages. The prospect Of an
EARLY, resumption Of work on The 5. V.
X. r., has stirred up the hopes and
stimulated the energies Of our business
community. one Of the practical results
OF which is this experimental importa-
ton, which will, doubtless, be followed
up by similar evidences of public spirit
on the part of our no less enterprising
merchants, aud BY spring we trust there
will be such a revival here in every
branch of business that all who may
want employment will find it at good
wages and prompt payments, so that the
chronic croakers themselves will 10
longer 6ud All excuse to complain OF
the tightness Of the times and the terri
Bile scarcity OF money. SO mote it be

For state Senator.

Mr.. Zittle-In last weeks issue OF
the Spirit Of J,Gerson we notice that
r. Hume Butcher, Esq, has been sug-
gested as a suitable candidate TO repre-
sent oar Senatorial District in the next
Legislature. The well known ability
and requirements of Mr.. Butcher, to-
gether with his Legislative experience
and genial disposition, would make HIM
a popular candidate and an influential
member of the Senate. So that If he
shall be nominated he will undoubtedly
receive the cordial support of a large
majority OF the people'in this portion of
our county. But, without meaning to
detract in the slightest degree, from
our friend Mr. Butcher, or from
''any other man" who may be thought
of rs a possible candidate, We deem it
due TO popular sentiment to say that if
Col WILLIAM A. MORGAN will consent
to the use of his name in that connec-
ton, his nomination as our Senatorial
candidate will be most heartily approved
of and sustained throughout the entire
District and nowhere more heartily than
in aud around

EHr Nix. FAULKNER AND TIE uAK-
PxR's FERRY PRoPERTY.-The Balti-
more Sun, few days ago, contained
a special dispatch from Washington
stating that the statement that the AT
torney General had withdrawn the aP-
peal of the government to the Supreme
Court in the Harper's Ferry case was
premature. The Sa" Of Friday, how
ever, changes the face OF affairs, and
confirms the information contained in
the letter Of Mr.. Faulkner TO the Spirit
Of Jr6,rson, from which we extract the
following
You have doubtless seen some init
nations in the papers of hesitancy or
doubt upon the part OF tie Attorney
General as to his course in regard TO
.he Hsrper's Ferry property. Accord
ing to the best of my knowledge and
information, these limitations are with
ont any foundation whatever. Since
bis letter TO me of the 30,h Of Decem-
Der, have seen no change of purpose
Or conclusion Oh the part of that officer;
and he would this hour, or wonid from
the date of his letter TO me, have given
nn order for the immediate sale, except
his doubt as to whether there could be
found a purchaser, and now since my
resolution adopted in the House, he
awaits the action of the Committee on
Military Affairs, hoping that authority
will be given to the Secretary of War
TO re-purchase the property.

LETTER FROM LEErOWN.
Jan. oath, 49,

Jan. oath, 1876.
Mr.. Editor-There is but little occur
ring out of the usual routine in this vi
cinity.
"Bud' Hannah, our popular Consta-
BILE, says that the currency of this Sec
ton is getting too bulky for him, most
of those from whom funds are due to
him, want to pay in corn, currency
which he is unable to transport upon
the back of his Rosianett.
Messrs. League & Co., have been
obliged to build an additional corn
house, to hold their funds, and believe
that their new parimOaie is full of corn,
already.
Rev Mr.. Smith preached at Horace S
Gap or the 10th, subject, ''Moses at the
burning bush" 1t was the best dis
course that we have yet heard the rev.
erend gentleman deliver.
In obedience to the summons of Mr..
Hurst, our popular Deputy Sheriff, we
presented ourself at the Court house last
Monday, but in consideration of our
verdancy. and for other reasons, the
Court excused US, after single day in
attendance as petit juror.
During our brief sojourn at the Coun-
ty seat we were very much pleased with
the manner in which Mr.. Beltzhoover
was defending the interests Of the Com
monweath, though to our mind there is
much valuable time wasted in useless
discussion in the Court
Mr.. Mason gave US a sample of his elo-
querce, on Monday evening, in defend
ing che negro Rcss Nelson, upon his
preliminary examination.
The Holiday season here was un.
marked by any unusual demonstrations,
except by the weather.
On Christmas day, Mrs Templar, Lit
lie Templar, and myself, made an attack
upon a sixteen pound gobhler, but scarce
ly made an impression upon him. If
some Special Providence had waited
the Free Press man to this vicinity, we
would certainly have given him a cordi-
al invitation to '"set by" and help us
out with our difficult undertaking, bat
Providence didn't give tie necessary
impulse to the gentleman in question,to
bring him to us.

% SuENaNpoAH VALLEY RAILROAD.
The Directors of this Company met
nj Charlestown on the 18th instant, for
the purpose of taking steps to further
this important enterprise. We learn
from the Spirit that the committee here
,ofors appointed to arrange the terms
OF traffic contracts with connecting
rvads-,he Pennsylvania, Cumberland
Valley aud others-rcported that such
contracts had been entered into with
the corporations above named, and that
notion had been taken in favor of q
like arrangement by the Western Mary
land road. The committee also report
cd that other roads looking TO the i'm
portance Of the trade OF the country
through which the Shenandoah Valley
road will pass, have the subject under
their consideration, and will, in all
probability, at an early day, become
parties 10 the contract. But 1t Is con-
fdently believed that on the basis CT
the contracts ALREADY executed, the first
mortgage bonds of the Company can
he negotiated i'll European markets Oh
very liberal terms, and that during the
coming spring sufficient means will be
under the control Of the corporation 10
complete the work from the Potomac
to tue Chesapeake d Ohio Railroad at
Stanton, with which il will form Il
junction.
The exact point ofconnec,ion on the
North has no, yet been fully determined
uron, but it is understood that it will
be ut Beddington, on the Martinsburg
e Potomac road, via tins town, on the
route already graded to this place.
Active steps will at once DC taken to
ascertain at what rates the bonds OF the
road can be sold, and the auspices un-
der which they will be introduced and
recommended to foreign capitalists fully
warrant the belief that they can be dis
posed of Oh most advantageous terms.
Our readers will, We are sure, he graft
lied to learn that there is thus a good
prospect for the construction OF this
road. in hich the citizens of this coun-
~ and the valley generally are deeply
concerned.
