Pittsburg's Need Of a Railroad into
Virginia

From the Pittsburg D1spatch.1
The importance of the earliest and most econom-
ical connection between Plttsburg and the de-
posits of the red of iron discovered the up
per James river, In Virginia, near Lynchburg, has
been attracting the attention of the railroad men
lately, not only in this city butin Baltimore WE'LL
AS Pittsburg is the centre Of the iron trade, the
owners of the ore land look to Pittsburg men for
facilities which they assert easily be furnished
and will be large pecuniary benefit to both par
ties,
Mr.. Haslage, an attorney of Baltimore has been in
the city for days past in the interest of the owners
of the James river ore beds. His object is to lay
before the capitalists the practicablity OF road
to that place. To Dispatch reporter he said 81
come here to ask your railroad to consider
suggestion.
It is the construction of road that be quickly
built, and at a moderate COST The ore beds of the
James river should be connected with Pittsburg.
The is 1rstclass, is there in quantities. and is
largely owned by P1ttsburg firms. The road pro-
pose is this:
The Pittsburg and Connellsville branch Of the
Baltimore and Ohio road, with the main line, has
present extension Of $50 miles to Romney, W. Va,
viz
Ptttsburg and Connellsyille railroad to Cum
Baltimore and ohio railroad and extensions to

Gap, to Broadway station, Rockingham county, Va,
on the Virginia Valley railroad 1t is sixty miles,
From Broadway to Lexington, va is a completed
rs miles line.
The construction, then, of tie required line be-
tween Romney and Broadway station, 80 miles, Will
complete railroad, owned and operated by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company from Pitts
burg to Lexington, the north branch of the James
river, a distance Of 31S miles. From Lexington, a
railroad completed, extends by way of Lynchburg
southwark by way of Danvlle, Va, and Greensboro,
N. O., and eastward to Norfolk, Va. The proposed
road would also intersect with the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad at Stanton Va, 40 miles north of
Lexington, and 27s miles from Pittsburg You see
now land the examination of accurate maps will
verify these statements that you will obtain great
trunk line from Pittsburg to Richmond and every
Southern Atlantic port, for both trade and travel
and which is of the first value to Pittsburg and
outlet for her vast manufactures in glass, iron,
&C., TO the southern Atlantic coast and Immediate
connection with the iron, m1nganese, copper, etc.

without tunnel expensive bridges or heavy cut
Ting; and can be constructed in year or less
at cost Of $1,2000O0. Its importance to Pitsburg
cannot be estimated

Your correspondent had the pleasure, on

had not been together for twenty years.
About three weeks ago, her son, DR.. Andrew

sumptuous dinner, they repaired to the par
lor, where they talked of old times They
are fortunate family. There is no family with
which they were raised that has not lost a
member. But they have all been spared, and
after separation of twenty years were per-
milted to assemble around the hearth stone OF
their infancy and once more to separate with
the blessing and prayers of an aged mother.

A PROSPEROUS STAUNToN BoY-We al
ways watch the career of our Staunton boys
when they leave home and note with pleasure
their advance when they do advance. Recently
we have learned of the rather remarkable sue
cess of young man well known in this city,
Mr.. Jos. S. Tyree, brother of VIM. R. Tyree,
Esq. -Four Or five years ago he left Staunton
quite boy, with scarcely any business ex-
perience and little prospects. He entered the
well known chemical manufacturing estab-
lishment of Wyeth & Bro, Phia., the largest
of its kind in the world, as a counter boy,
with view of attending lectures at the Phil
adelphia College OF Pharmacy. After grad
uating he was given good position in the
store. In short time the proprietors, seeing
that he was ambitious and could be of more
service to them if entrusted with matters OF
more Importance sent him as their represent
alive to Delaware. He discharged his duties
with such marked ability that they gave him
the leading position in the establishment. He
now travels from Canada TO Mexico repre-
senting the firm, going and coming when he
feels so disposed, and receiving the largest
salary of any young man of his years in Phil
adelphia. His success has been due, in the
opinion of the members of the firm, to his unss
firing industry and happy faculty of always
being courteous and polite, thus making
friends wherever he goes. 1t affords US real
pleasure to chronicle his prosperity, and we
predict for him still further success.

JUDGE J. w. GREEN SMITH.-Owing to the
indsposition of the venerable Judge Sherrard ,
he was unable to preside during the session of
the Corporation Court last week, and there
being many important cases on the docket,
J. w. Green Smith of Stauaton, was tele-
graphed for and presided during the session.
Though comparatively stranger to the peo-
pie OF Winchester, his judicial ability was at
once appreciated, and socially he made many
friends. Judge Smith is the son of the late
Judge Daniel Smith, who when a young man
was Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court of this
judge of the Circuit Court of which Rocking

posed the DISTRICT Wen. Times.
