All SORTS of rumors were afiOat on the
streets here Yesterday before The correct
news Of the sale Of The Atlantic. Mississippi
and Ohio railroad arrived from Richmond.
AT one time il was confidently stated that
General Malone had bought The road. The
telegraph offices and the newspapers were
almost az much frequented As in war times
or on election.day-. When 1t was known
that parties supposed to represent the
Shenandoah Valley railroad bad bought The
line there were at first ieafs expressed lest
the eastern end Of the road should be sac
rificed TO the interest OF the Valley connec-
ton. Later in the day assurances re-
ceiyed from Richmond by parties who
Represented this city there gave greater
confidence to the friends OF the road, ana
the belief finds expression now that The
best thing has happened That could nave
happened. Tue NeUS has already voiced
this increasing feeling Of public satisfaction
and confidence. The Virgini0n deplores
tue s1criGce Of the line and the extinction
of the stock and the floating debt. The re-
cogniion OF these latter claims IN some
shane is all that is needed to secure for the
new organZa.iOn the most favorable con.
sideratiOn at the hands OF the community.

channel last night, and this morning Is stilI
ascending.
