NIGHT RAILROAD FROM STA UNION To Mon
TEREY.-The Highland Recorder is supporting
with earnestness the project OF building 9 rail-
road to be run at night betwe Staunton and
Monterey.
The scheme as given by the Recorder is as
follows
FOR few days past the question of bui ding
a railroad has been sprung on the people of
Highland County and the plan FAR seems for
meet with approval except with q few, and to
these our argument 10 more es oecially intend
ed.
Mr.. RippetO. q gentleman living near Buff
falo Gap. in Augusta county represents q COM
pany OF Capitalists whose reliability we can
vouch Tor and who propose. j. the county Of
Highland will grant the r1ghJ of way, to build
standard gauge railroad from Staunton to
Monterey, thus making Mon tcrey one of the
terminal points, an advantage none will fail TO
see or dispute. This company propose to lay
their track along the Staunton and Parker
during IL hours of the "A, thus giving those
who wish to travel over tho p;se by private
conveyance 13 hours of day light to do SO, as
trains will only run at night from D. m. 10
a. In. So in no way will the usual every day
travel be interfered with.
This company agree, In the event OF the
r1ght-of-way being granted, to take the toll OF
the pike and keep 1t up at their own expense
They further agree to sink the wood ties en-
to fill up between the rails SO that not more
than one inch of the rail Will be above the
ground. The building Of this road will neces
situte culverts, bridges. widening of the pike
and many other advantages WI ich 1t is unnec-
cessary to enumerate."

"OUR HEROIC DEAD."-This was the subject
of the lecture delivered on Tuesday night of
last week, in the Opera House In Alexandria,
to a large audience. embracing the beauty and
manhood of that old city, by Rev. R. 81. Nc
Kim, d. D., well-known here, his first wife
being the daughter of the late Rev. R. II. Phil
lips, for many years Principal of the Virginia
Female Institute of this city.
In briefly noticing this lecture the Alexan-
dria Gazette says
HE was introduced In fitting terms by Com
rade K. Kemper. and for nearly an hour held
picted in glowing rhetoric the constancy. fort
ftude and magnificent vaiOr of the confederate
soldier. 1t would be impossible in short
newspaper notice to give any adequate idea of
this splendid tribute to the confederate soldier,
who for four long weary years endured hard
ship In the trenches on the march and in the
bivouac, and finally poured out his life's blood
in the consciousness OF duty well performed
Suffice it to say that the lecture abounded in
by illustrations aptly chosen from legend song
and story. He said they failed of success, and
why did they fail? God decreed otherwise. 1t
was His wisdom and His will that this country
should not be divided into two rival nations,
Jealous of each other armed against each other.
Which OF us to- day would wish this decree re-
versed and this nation rent in twain? Not the
Lee! Not the gallant tars who trained the
guns of the Merrimac In her encounter with
half the federal navy In Hampton Roads!
We're the Union again imperilled none would
more swiftly spring to its defense than the
survivors o. the confederate armfes.''
