When the court was adjourned for dinner
the crowd gathered in the courthouse to
hear speeches from our representatives,
Messrs. Phlegar and Shelburne, and other
speakers.
Lieutenant C oyernor Walker WAS first in
troducetl, who made clear, forclb:e, and
telling speech upon the issues now agitating
the STATE. Ills reasons for supporting the
McCullouch bill were sound and sensible,
and carried conviction to the minds OF all
unbiased persons. We thank the Lieu
tenant Governor for his mastery effort.
Delegate Shcburne next addressed the
crowd, gave the reasons for his votes upon
the dog law, road law, aud debt bill.
MONTGOMERY has never had more faithful
representative, nor one who stands higher
in the estimation OF the people CT this coun-
ty. Our regret is that he cannot be induced
to serve another term.
Senator Phcgar next took the stand
and gave an account OF his stewardship.
He showed most clearly the merits or Inc

The settlement. VIC may believe, will soon

cited much attention amongst manufactu.

We may say that there have been num-
Der OF representatives Of steel manufacture
in this country drawn together, and one OF
the largest in Europe has just been in this
city and in parts OF the Valley within the
past three days looking into the opportuni-
Ties forsteel manufacture; and gentleman
who passed through here Saturday is conf
dent that large rail.mill should be built
either in Richmond or Lynchburg, where
there are large communities to supply labor
and water-power TO propel the machinery
for rail manufactures. and where there are
divergent railroads.
We learn that proposition was made to
the Executive Committee OF the Allegheny
Railroad Company Friday by some gentle
men that they would, for the order for the
%, 900 tons OF rail required By them, imDe-
diately erect works on the SIEMANs- MARTIN
process at one of the above-named points
Lynchburg or Richmond). But the COM
mittee declined to commit themselves until
the settlement with the creditors was as
sured. A large number VI letters are re-
ceiyed here seeking information.
1t has been generally supposed that the
only steel ores are east of Lyncaburg; but
there are at the Office Of the railroad CON-
pany some samples taken from the BOYD
property. beyond the Blue Ridge, which the
company will bave analysed. 1t is reported
that the analysis already made shows them
very low in pIiosphates and good for steel.
Now all things seem to be pressing on,
and only the settlement with the creditors
of the canal company is causing some delay.
The steelmakers and contractors are crowd.
ing with proposals, eager to go to work.
Still, it would be folly to anticipate the set
tlement. Nevertheless, it must be said that
expedition has characterized the
process thus far; only we would say that
all parties concerned would derive infinite
benefit by commencing the great work OF
