1neltiis another road to Philadelphia, Which
will close the last opening for the Baltimore
& Chic to do any large share of the carry
ing trade of this section, and will still furth-
Ell diminish the trade Of Baltimore here.
The Baltimore Sun which always has a
keen eye to whatever affects the interest of
that city, a few days since had a pointed
and searching article on this state of affairs
and the blindness which has characterized
| the 3. & D. S treatment Of it. We looked
with some curiosity for the reply that the
B. & O. would make to it. 1t came in the
shape of some remarks from Mr.. Henry
| Duvall of that city. a director in the Val
ley Ry. It must have been disappoint-
ment to the Baltimore people; it certainly
was to us as far as explaining the why mud
wherefore was concerned. 1t was about
the same old story that the b. & 0. used to
repeat when it was really without means to
pay it's dividends much less build a road.
1t was good then but will not go for much
now Mr.. Duvall misses the whole point
at issue by affecting to treat the Valley
anybody is looking for the completion of
the extension. Nobody expects this. The
company present means are not sufficient
and nothing is more certain than that no
Valley county can ever again be induced to
subscribe dollar to the road. The fate
of Rock bridge and Botetourt counties in
this regard-paying heavy county tax to
meet the interest on railroad bonds for q
railroad they did not get-Botetourt not
getting mile of track in her borders and
Rockbridge only getting track stopped
short in the middle of the county-will OPP
crate overwhelmingly against any further
possibilities for aid from the Valley coun-
ties. The party whose highest interest it
is-and duty to the city Of Baltimore alike
to build the road, is the Baltimore & Ohio
Ry Co. That is the corporation which
will capture immense Southern traffic by
the extension, and a trade which the city
of Baltimore has well earned by her large
subscription to the Valley Ry. MI. Du-
vail says:
81 know that the feeling generally, both of
ials, is in favor of pushing this work to points
that would make it profitable, and | believe
the matter will be given an early and favora-
| bly, consideration by all parties concerned.
Nothing definite has as yet been done looking
to this end, but if the people of Virginia will
meet US in the proper spirit no rival roads
will secure the trade OF divert from Baltimore
her natural tributaries"
There will be little difficulty about the
proper spirit' as far as the people of the
Valley are concerned, but if the B. q o.
expects financial aid from them the proba-
bility is that it will lose all chance Of the
Southern trade while it is waiting. 1t is
as well to speak plainly about this matter
especially if the present spirit of enquiry is
likely to be quoted by the cautious and
non-committal utterances of MI. Duyall.

THE EXTENSION OF THE VALLEY
RAILROAD

Staunton and Augusta county can give
aperfectly unbiased opinion in the matter
of the extension of the Valley Railroad.
They have the railroad and about all the
benefits they are likely to derive from it,
except in the indirect but increased pros-
perity that a railroad line will give to the
country South of it. 1t has been to every
body hereabouts, ineXplicable blindness OH
the part of the Baltimore & Ohio Company
not to extend the line to Salem. Every
thing is i'll readiness-in cheap readiness
for it. 1t is but few days since the wri-
ter of this was along the unfinished Valley
line at and neal its contemplated terminus
in the town of Salem. The cuts from Lex
ington to Salem are still there, even the fills
are in a fairly preserved state; the bridge
and culvert masonry is all sound: the ell
trance to Salem is there and even the depot
site is still in the town. 1t has something
the appearance OF a great work suddenly
brought to a stop by some calamity-as in
deed it was by the panic of 1873. But since
that time the B. & o. has fully recupera-
ted and entered on the Inauguration and
completion of great and costly works
compared with which putting the finishing
strokes to the fifty-four miles between Lex
ingten and Salem is but a mite In the
meantime another sluice has been opened
to the rising tide of the Valley trade and
it has been pouring over the Shenandoah
Valley road to Philadelphia and beyond. 1t
is simply millions of dollars lost to Balti-
more, and its enterprising merchants who
put million dollars into the Valley Rail
way. And now another s1uice way is about
to be opened. Whether the Cumberland
Valley road is extended from Winchester
OF not, there Uil be another road up this
Valley-this time up the Western side of
it-and that at time not far off. That

The large negro vote in those States ac
counts for the fact that there are from
New Jersey, New Y ork, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, SO Republican members of the House
to 81 Democrats. 1t is a vote that is counted
with absolute surety for the Republican
candidates, and it is this which has
made the Langston resolutions adopted by
colored Republican organizations in those
States, so effective, and has given them
power enough to cause the party in the
House to make a desperate fight over seat
ing him, and finally to seat him, though he
was known not to be elected. The seating
of Miller, the South Carolina negro, which
quickly followed it, without a word of dis
cussion being permitted, WAS but part Of
the Langston programme, and due to the
same causes.

GRANTS TRANSPORTS RUNNING BATTERIES
AT Observation-Disclosures from Sketch in
Harper's.
roads were rough and the night was dark,
consequently ones footing was most I'M
certain. In the bayous all about the alli-
gators male night hideous with their bel
lowing All night the regiment marched,
and next morning at six o'clock pulled up
at Smiths plantation, two and one.half
miles from New Carthage. Here the
division went into camp, and, although
two or three miles from the river, several
steam boats came in on bayou and were
near camp for day or so.
Having met with such success running
the blockade the night of April 16, the
Federals resolved to attempt it again, con-
sequently the next week number of trans
port were loaded with stores and with
their boilers and machinery we'll protected
with baled hay and cotton again ran the
blockade, losing only one vessel, the
Tigress, if the writer's memory serves him
well. The boats that came to Smiths
plantation had been struck in a number of
places and had portions of their pilot houses
shot away. One boat was the Hiawatha
and the other the Silver Wave.
While at Smiths plantation quite little
sensation was created from one of the SOL
diers receiving an accidental shot. Upon
examination however it proved to be of
little danger though received in the neck;
it was from revolver shot of such small
caliber that but little injury was inflicted.
This was Sunday and is remembered as
warm, sultry day, the sun at one time
shining bright at another passing behind
clouds. A little while before night, orders
came to pack up and go on the march at
once. The night was intensely dark and
soon a drizzling rain began falling, but
the men marched along as merry as could
be, singing, whistling and cracking jokes.
But after time the pitchy darkness, wet
ting rain and rough roads took the merrl.
ment out of every one, and the march was
continued till about one or two o'clock a. M,
when the regiment was halted by the side
of rail fence, and the writer remembers
sleeping sweetly on two fence rail for per.
haps two hours and a half, when some cot
fee was hastily made and drank, and the
march resumed at daylight.
1t still rained and the roads were horr,-
BILE, but the march was kept up all day,
while the weather continued cloudy and
rain fell at intervals. The country passed
through was uninviting, and the bad roads
and unpleasant day make the memory of
this time any thing but pleasant. Wagons
and artillery stalled and horses and
mules mired down, and all had to be pulled
and lifted out by hand.
Night at last came and the writer re-
members feeling too tired even to sleep.
Coffee was made and plenty of this
drank, and in short time renewed
strength seemed to come. With the coffee
was eaten hard bread and salt pork

New Excuse for Sleepy Men.

The well-known millionaire, Exon
gresham George West, of Ballston, N.
Y, says he solves many of his most per-
picking business problems while in bed,
in the early morning hours. Comment
ing on the fact, he remarked that some
one once told him that the late Commo-
dore Vanderbilt had said: "Young men
talk about getting up early in the morn
ing to go to work. While they are puz-
cling themselves at their desks over
business propositions lie abed, think
them over, and find the solution before
go to the Office" This confirms the
conclusion of many others, that ones
thoughts are clearer while he is in a re-
cumbent position than at any other time.
This may arise in part from the fact that
in the early morning the mind is rested,
and one is usually free at that time from
intrusion. Thus concentrated effort is
facilitated
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-12-01

Here a stop Of several days was made, and
from a letter written from here Sunday,
April 10, by the writer, the following ex-
tract is made: "There are great many
tine plantations through here; indeed
through this part Of the country there is
nothing else but fine ones. Most OF these
have from thirty to fifty negro houses
(quarters) on them.
1.-THE planter usually lives in a one-story
house with porches all around it. The
plantations though are mostly deserted,
only few negroes remaining. 1t has be o
only three or four weeks since the first
Federal troops came in here. One month
ago the Secesh thought they were entirely
safe here, but they were mistaken.
acorn april 19) is sixinches high and has
been plowed once, the forest is as green as
it will be this year; roses and nearly all
flowers are in full bloom.
1--WE are now encamped on plantation
| owned by a man named Holmes-now a
General in the SeceSh army. This place con-
tains nine hundred acres and is the small
est of four belonging to Holmes. He also
owns four steamboats, on the Mississippi
river On this plantation is fine mill.
Down here they have cotton-gins, grist and
| saw-mills all under one roof.'
The night of April 16, 1858, the six gun
| boats, Benton, Louisville, Lafayette, Mound
City and Carondolet, and the three trans
ports, Forest Queen, Silver Wave and
Henry Clay, ran the batteries at Vicksburg
and Warrenton, few miles below. All
passed safely except the Henry Clay, which
| was destroyed.
The transports were loaded with army
| stores; their boilers were protected with
| cotton bales and bales Of hay, and each
had in tow one or more barges loaded with
coal.
Every vessel was struck a number Of
times, but none save the Henry Clay re-
| ceived vital injury
Regarding this occurrence the following
| extract is taken from a letter of April 19,
| 1868, written from Holmes plantation,
about twenty miles west of Vicksburg:
eve are to march again in few days; are
| going to Carthage, which is on the river
below Viczsburg. Most of the heavy
| things, such as large tents, commissary
stores, ETC., were taken aboard transports
to be conveyed down the river. These, of
course, had to run the blockade at Vicks-
burg, and this they did last Thursday
night april 16). There were three (SiE)
| gun-boats and four (three) transports. We
heard the firing very distinctly. One
transport was burned"
The regiment, in common with the
| division, received marching orders tho
evening of April "a, and about eight
| o'clock at night got under way Tho
