Editsss Dispatch. One OF the most en-.

the adyisal,ility Of constructing a rsalroad
from this place to Oxford, n. G.. We had

subject, and they were preseat with most
favorable report. Judge Wood presided.
Celonel T. +. Goode aud Coiouel H. E..
Coleman advocated the North Carolina con-
neetiOn, and Mr. jean Mop hail WAS in favor
OF the Keysville route. Ayote was taken
and a large majority was in favor OF making
the conaeetion at Oxford with the Oxford
and Henderson road.
Major Gregory, Captain Goodwyne, and
CAPTAIN "A. III. "A. Williams, OF North Caro-
lima. made speeches. The latter gave an
elaborate history OF the disadvantages un-
der which they had iabored TO build the OK
ford and Henderson road, but by pluck
and energy they bud overcome all obsta-
eles, and now the road was an assured fact.

to the House Of Delegates. He is Virgin.
ian and man. He has never proved faith
less 10 his word or his country. Such man
can be trusted. He has not sold himself
he will not sell his State. How can man
who sells himself be expected to be true to
his State? OF course not. He who sells
himself, logically sells his State upon the first
opportunity. In old times it was the
patriotic law that put the State first and all
the time. Everything for the Common
wealth, nothing for men. This is Mr.. DY-
ER's political religion. He stands by the
Commonwealth. He is true. He will not
sell himself to advance his personal ambi-
ton. He puts the State first; himself last.
Voters OF Henry can trust him to repre-
sent them. He will not sell them. He is
true man, and viii always be faithful.
Your vain and foolshly-ambitious man who
would sell himself for Office will be sure to
sell his country to advance his personal OBJ
iec,s.
We trust that the people Of Henry are
steadily recovering that high public eevo-
ton which will teach them that no man
who thinks more OF himself than he does
OF his State can be trusted as public rep
reseuta,ive. The people are no more in
his bands than is e coop OF chickens in
the hands OF the hIckster. DEER is Vir-
ginlan and an honest man. He is for pay-i
ing the honest public debt and main tainingA

These TWO novels are by the same au-
thor-Judge A. W. TOURGEE, OF North
Carolina. The Judge became prominent in
tue politics Of that State in the turbulent
time OF reconstruction, when agitation was
so violent that there was not a favorable
opportunity for judging Justly the charac-
tiers and motives Of newcomers, particularly
Radical politicians, one Of which the Judge
was. He was the object OF no little preiu-
dice, and, so far as we know, it may not be
to this day that very much deliberation has
been employed in considering his merits.
His entering the arena OF authorship will
of course bring his works under criticism
and judgment, and lead to better under
standing Of bis deserts.
He dates from Greensboro, N. c.. whose
near neighborhood and intercourse with this
city would suggest the establishment OF
better acquaintance. One OF the BOOKS
written BY the Judge has reached second
edition, and both bear signs Of preparation
and care which would indicate anticipated
public favor.
