and viGor have sprung into the s. V. r. r. OPP
cratic within the past Re v days. A large parry
OF gentlemen accompanied Vice-President Boyce
to this place Last week. Among them was a
corps of engineers who went forward to begin
operations on tile line of road from Rive-ton. in
Warreu county, southwark That portion of
the road has been given by A1essrs. Satteree &
Co. to n ect of contractors, Messrs. e w.
Clarke & Co., who will push it forward rapidly
whilst essrs. Satterlee & Co are finishing up
| the road through Clarke and Warren TO River
| ton. The advance party of the contractors for
the bridge at RiyertOn, Messrs. Savior & Co :.
| were also among the number. and proceeded on
to that point, TO begiu work ut once Messrs'
| Nola nd ard Best have contracted for the extern
| sion northwaTd to BedinGIen. and we under
| stand will commence work this week. Over one
hundred and thirty tons of iron, for Messrs Sat
tcrec IS, Co.. were shipped from DarYiic. Pa,
OIL Friday and will probably reach hero to-day.
One hundred and seventy tons more will follow
this week. The Abbott Iron Co, Of Baltimore.
is ma king one Thousand tons, and in the event
of the failure of another contractor to come to
time, will make two Thousand tons. There is
therefore row, doubt but that the work on
this important internal lBprovcment will from
this time go rapidly and steadily forward.
Mcsers. Satterloo &. Co. still desire to cnpage
large humber of good hand, white or cOlorcd,
at : ! Per Gay. I" w.1Tk on ttc road.

We were pleased, on Friday, to receive
cali from Hon. e. Willis Wilson, of Kama
wha, who is on visit, with his better half,
to his old county. In our conversation with
Mr.. ". touching political matters in the
Third District, we gathered from him the
opinion that, while the Green back organza~
ton in that part Of the State is by no means
to be despised, yet tina! the inroads there
made i'll the Democratic ranks may be re-
paired by clear declaration Of those prin>
ciplcs on the money question embodied in
the Ohio idea" aud known to be cntcr-
tanned by the great mass Of the Democratic
party throughout the State, jIdicious nomi>
nations and an active CANVASS. lln thinks
that Thurman is the strong man there, just
now, for the presidency.
