RAILRoADs. The Richmond correspondent
of the Petersburg appeal gives the following
items :-"Your reporter. is informed by cour-
teous officer OF the Chesapeake & Ohio railway
that their through trains from the west are
now running by the card, and that past diff
culties resulting from heavy burden trains in
the matter ofpassing off the line to give way
for fast mail trains are now wholly overcome.
The through travel of the line is increased
largely, and even passengers for New Orleans
are taking tickets by it. The company in
tends to put up two additional wires along
the route to Huntington, and with this in
crease of facilities to move trains and to give
dispatch orders to three trains at different
points at the same time their whole system
will be perfect and trips OF the most inferior
class of trains will be continuous.
1t was said yesterday on the streets here
that the Baltimore and Ohio Company has an
eye single to the control of the Richmond and
Allegheny Road that the great hollow hand
of Philadelphia stretched south by the Shen-
andoah Valley Route for trade was not pleas
ant for Baltimore vision and that she was on
the qui yiye for getting more Virginia rail
mileage"

RAILROAD ACCIDENT On Tuesday last
the engine attached to the passenger train 60
ing west on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road, jumped the track between the Blue
Ridge and Waynesboro, which caused IL de-
lay of several hours. No serious damage was
done.
On the same day a collision between a
freight tram from Staunton and the passen-
ger train leaving Harrisonburg, took place
between Pleasant Valley and Harrisonburg,
which damaged both engines very much, and
injured Engineer Bosius OF the freight train on
the head. The accident was occasioned by the
freight train attempting to reach Harrison
burg before the passenger left. A flagman
was sent out by the freight, but the engineer
of the passenger train not observing him, the
two trains came together on slow time, caus-
ing the damage mentioned.

A Wholesale Establishment.

What StauntOn has long needed ia strictly
Wholesale establishment, selling only to deal
ers, and drawing to our city a large part OF
the trade which now seeks its supplies in Bal
timOre, Richmond and other cities. Staunton
is centrally located is at point where two
railroads iEtersect, and the competition in
freights guarantees the cheapest transporta-
ton. Its situation with reference to the Val
ley and country south and west is far moro
favorable for commercial intercourse than any
other city, and We are glad to know that this
promising field is to be occupied. Messrs
Gooch, Hoge q Co., firm composed of some
of our most enterprsing and successful bust
ness men, have leased the new and commo-
dious wareroom Of J. ID. Crowlc, next to the
American Hotel, and will, on the LIST OF Sep
TENDER, open an extensive wholesale grocery
establishment. They will sell only to dealers,
pOrters and manufacturers In car load lots,
will be able to fully compete with Richmond
and other Cities Indeed they will be able to
offer advantages, for the cost of transacting
business here is much less than in the places
to which we have alluded. With ample means,
buying for cash, and conducting the new bu-
siness with the same energy and sagacity that
the members of the firm have ever exhibited
in their other enterprises, Messrs Gooch, Hoge
& Co. will, we are satisfied, soon establish a
trade which will be beneficial alike to the
town and to the merchants who may deal with
them. Wholesale houses succeed in Charles
ton, W. Va. Gallipolis and Ironton. Ohio:
Lynchburg and other points over which we
certainly ought to have advantages. There is
vast territory which should find its supply
depot in Staunton. All along the line of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad are large iron
mines and furnaces requiring an enormous
quantity Of goods, besides the numerous stores
situated in this and adjoining counties. With
the inducements which the new concern will
be able to offer, the parties who are now pur-
chasing elsewhere will find it to their interest
to save freight and time by dealing in Staun-
ton II one house Of this kind succeeds, and the
men who have undertaken this enterprise are
determined TO make 1t n success, other branch
es oftrade will ere long have representatives
here, and our merchants of every class will
have wholesale depot at home. We look
forward confidently to the time when Staun-
ton will furnish goods of all description to
| dealers within easy reach.

FINE SToCK.-At Gen. Mems recent an
nual sale of thoroughbred stock. Mr.. Fl. A. S.
Hamilton, of this county, one of the most en-
terprising and successful breeders Of fine
stock in the State, purchased nine pure South
downs and twelve Cetswold bucks. The aver
age price paid was SIS, the highest being $50
and the lowest $14. Mr.. Hamilton also pur
chased for A. M. Bowman, Esq, two thor
Oughbred short horn heifers at $51 and $53.
DR.. Bell, of this county, purchased three thor
oughbred bucks, at an average price Of $l2.
Shenandoah and Rockingham were well rep
resented in the buyers, indicating a growing
interest in the Valley in improved stock
There was large attendance from Virginia,
West Virginia and Maryland, and also stock
dealers and breeders from New Jersey and
other States. Gen. Meem is doing a good
work for Virginia in these stock sales, but
whether he is doing as much for his own
pocket, we cannot say. He is one of those
earnest men who, when they take hold of an
enterprise success has to follow, whether it
pays individually or not We hope, however,
that he will be amply remunerated for his
praisewoYthy efforts.

HON. JOHN PAUL

was introduced by W. E. Craig, Esq, Chair
man of the Coalition County Committee. As
the speaker advanced to the front OF the stand
the applause which greeted him was terrific.
Long and loudly it continued, and when its
fury was spent, the opposition took up the re-
fraint by cheering Justify for O'Ferrall Paul
common ced by complimentary allusion to
his competitor, and the pacific manner in
which he had introduced the discussion
From the newspaper accounts Of the speeches
made at the Convention which nominated
O'Ferrall, the speaker had been led to believe
that human gore would flow when the champ
ion took the stump. Now, however, he had
concluded that the gallant Colonel had washed
off the war paint, drawn the scabbard and
thrown away the sword.
. The Colonel, said the speaker, has laid great
stress upon my favoring the administration
as if it were new thing for the people of Vir-
ginia to express themselves as friendly 10 the
National government. In 1869, with all the
reconstruction scenes fresh in their minds, the
so-called Democratic Conservative party
threw itself on the bosom of Gen Grant, and
when its success had been achieved in the
election OF Walker, Raleigh T. Daniel, Chair

The crowd on the lower floor was about
equally divided. The colored element in the
gallery appeared TO be all for Paul. Both
sides seemed well satisfied with the result of
the discussion. At least they tried to make
it appear that such was the case. O'Ferrall's
friends claimed that their favorite had gotten
the advantage. We venture to say that q
large majority of those who heard the discus
sion thought differently. Those who did not
hear it and swho know the men, will hardly
give it credit. Col. O'Ferrall is Q handsome
speaker, good at repartee, and at times elo-
quent, but he is not the man to meet JnO Paul
in masculine argument. His best friends
will find this out if they don't know it now
Paul made votes the crowd was with him,
and the enthusiastic and deafening applause
which greeted him a. every turn was genu-
iue tribute to the man and the splendid man
ner in which he bore himself and not an effort
to embarrass his competitor. Indeed, the
more the people see of him the more they love
him, and that personal magnetism which has
fixed his own county steadfast in its support
is fast making Its power felt among the voters
of Augusta.
