WEBSTER Court HOUSE, !

EbolEt OOtRT IOesE, mug y, IOOr,
Mr.. Editor By promise made to influen
tial friends in Nicholas Co., wish TO trans
NIT, briefly. to your columns, from this point,
where l am conversant viii the best Informed
pioneers and seogfaphers Of the country, some
q the many advantages of the Williams river
over the upper Elk river route, for the locca
tion OF the Atlantic, Cincinnati and s.. Louis
railroad. Actual measurement shows that the
srlmmit-level to be overcome between Green
brier and Dix rivers is 500 to 800 feet lower
on the Williams FLYER route; and alsso. taat
the distance is shortened by 20 i? 30 miles, and
the construction PEI. NILE eaeaper.
This itself woul,. be decisive. without doubt :;
but when il added to this, immensely superior
show Of valuable and accessible coal, as well
as surprising quality of lands with very much
surface indications OF iron ore, We think it
scarcely probable the Elk river route can be
urged, seriously by disinterested parties, Doll5i
less these matters will be carefully Iayestiga-
ted by the company's proper officers.

Reported for the VIhGINIAN.

THE North Riuer Camp-maeetimg which has
been in progress for several days under the
auspices of the M. E. church, will close to-day
On last Sunday an immense concourse of
souls assembled there estimated by competent
judges-to number fully twenty-five hundred
The encampment is beautifully and pleasantly
situated, and the tent-holders and those resid-
ing near the camp, were very hospitable and
untiring in their efforts to render those from
distance comfortable The heat and dust, the
latter kept in motion by the surging, restless
crowd of sight-seers, was source of great
annoyance TO those who were present and de-
sired to hear the ''TidiDg's of great JOY" as il
was plainly and forcibly announced in the
morning sermon by Rev. j. S. Wickline, the
presiding elder. whose subject was the Divin-
ity of Christ. The afternoon sermon, by Rev.
Wesley Kiracofe, of Maryland, and of the Uni
ted Brethren church, was pronounced one of
his best efforts Professors Burnett and Blake
of Dayton Normal School, G. l.. Shutting and
VIM. H. Floyd, of Union church choir, and
Mr.. VIM. H. RUBBISH, met in the afternoon
and gave an excellent entertainment in vocal
music.
Personal.-Rev. l. N. Campbell, of Union
church, has returned from an extended mis-
sionary tour thro' West Virginia, having been
one ola committee appointed by the Lexing-
ton Presbytery for that mission. Rev. c.
returns greatly benefited in health, and despite
the fact that he has labored hard and travelled
over seven hundred miles, the beautiful
scenery, pure air, excellent water, and hospi-
tality of the people rendered the duty very
pleasant and highly enjoyable. The Presby.
terrain church has an excellent worker in Bar
bour county, Rev. F. ]. Brooke, who is very
popular and a hard working energetic good
man. He is deeply interested in his work.
Thro' his efforts many have obtained the
"pearl of great price" and the church has gain
ed valuable and numerous additions.
Aceident.-On Wednesday of last week, Mrs
John Douglass, in walking across her room
ran No. 4 sewing machine needle into her
right foot. DIR. Brown, of Bridgewater, was
called in and succeeded in extracting part of
the needle. The remaining piece, the physi-
clan says, will work thro' and at present the
indications are that it will make its egress at
the top of the foot.
Neao I,adustry.-Mr. James H. Fauver is
manufacturing ground raw limestone and
offers it to our farmers as very efficient fer
tilizer at the low rate of six dollars per ton.
The ground limestone has been tested by
farmers of Pennsylvania and Ohio who claim
that it is much more valuable than burned
lime. In Virginia its results can be seen in
the land along eide of the turnpike from
Staunton to Winchester which has been fer
tilted by the dust from the road, macadamized
with limestone

The Virginian for the Campaign
REDUCTION OF RATES.

In order that the VIRGINIAN may penetrate
every section of the State during the approach
ing campaign, we have concluded to put the
price down to the very lowest rates, SO that
all may have an opportunity of subscribing.
The paper has now the largest bona fde carcula-
kon of the weeklies published in Virginia and
every day new names are added to its lists.
The aim of its proprietors is to make it true
exponent of Republican principles, and a
newspaper worthy of the support of fair
minded men of every political creed. Its col
umns will always contain well written edito-
rails on political and other subjects, tele-
graphic and news items fresh and reliable, &C
curate and non partizan reports Of political
speeches, meetings &C., and a full record of
local events 1850 .lUa4t
For the approaching campaign it will be the
most valuable as well as the cheapest paper
published in Virginia
The VIReINIAN will be sent postpaid to
subscribers during the campaign at the follow
inc rates:

THE MARKET

The grain and -four market has been very much
excited since our last tssue with marked advance
in prices In the centres of trade and moro paricu
larly in Chicago, the feeling was very animated
and speculation rife. The influence of this reaches
all over the country and more less has affected
prices. We quote in Staunton, Wheat, 20 to 81 25
Flour, Family Sc 90; Extra, S. co. Superfine 81 49,
Corn has leaped to 70 cents-the result of the re-
ports of the short crops in the west. Oats, 40,
In Richmond, Wheat, 1 30 to Sc. In Baltimore,
81 to 81 80. September delivery 1 IS to SO;
October, 1 81 to 81 49, November, 40 to 81 Al.
These prices indicate a very strong feeling, as
we'll as unsettled state of the market The effect
has been to prevent offerings, while the demand
has been unusually active.

NAL. DANIEL

Is very imposing and striking figure. His
classic face, and finely chiseled features his
calm dgnifed demeanor-the intellectually
stamped upon his whole being, mark him as a
man among men. The vast audience seemed
to realize that before them stood one who
was the soul of honor-the impersonation of
lofty courage. He commenced his remarks by
ton and the authority it gave him to address
the people OF Rockingham as friends and
fellow citizens" He speedily passed to the
record OF Col. Cameron as well as his own,
assailing the one and defending the other, to
the amusement and satisfaction of his hearers, or
at least his party friends among the audience
He repealed, very successfully, every attack
that was made upon his legislative record on
the debt question, including the McCulloch
Bill assailed Paul, Fulkerson and Malone
and exposed the inconsistency Of their votes
and speeches, With iAa present attitude and
assumptions oftRe Re-adiuster party. One
of the most effective points in his remarks
was his splendid appeal for the purity and in
dependence of the Judiciary, and the horror
with which he regarded a packed court or
jury. E"A"' F'il +
His closing speech was a magnificent speci-
men of oratory.. Manner, appearance, ges-
ture, information, seemed to be almost perfec-
ton. During its delivery there were two in
ctdents which attracted attention. Referring
to the free ballot and fair count pliretensions Of
the Re-adlusters, he mentioned that it was in
Petersburg that the ballot was corrupted
