on the look out, and, with the influence

1t is very gratifying to know that General
Joseph Johnston is u candidate for Congress
from the Richmond district. He VIII make
\ yery able and influential representative.
AS an officer in the United States army prior
to the late war, and in the Confederate
army, he had no superior in point of mill,
tary talents. His reputation as a man OF
marked ability, of sterling character, and OF
honorable bearing is we'll known through
out the.entire Union.
Virginia will do well in placing such a
man in Congress to represent her metfopol-
itan district.
The treaty made by General Johnston
with General Sherman at the surrender IN
April. 1865. in North Carolina, was docu-
ment that contained the true principles
which then would have brought peace, hap
piness, and prosperity to the country: The
Radical party thought otherwise, and have
rendered the country bankrupt by not Dur-
suing the policy then enumerated by Gene
raj Joe Johnston in that treaty.-hdndrhG

Virginia Interests should be considered and

proposition universally considered as wise
when we say that the construction Of great
railroad should begin Mt IFS most impor-
tant terminus. AS progress 10 made from.
that terminus freight and travel aecumu-
late, and are hurried to the objective point.
Thus receipts begin with the road, and in
crease geometrically as it is extended, and
assist In meeting the interest account and
promoting activity and thrift of the CONF;
munity. The commencement OF the James;
River VALLEY railroad at Richmond, and its
rapid progress towards the mountains,
would be eminentiy advantageous to the
people Of the valley. to Richmond, and the
company constructing the road. What a
