spirit flf jgftoflit, BKXJAMIX F. BEALIi, Editor. OHAELUSTOWlf, JL. Tuesday Morninc, September It, 1SCO. Our paper this week is destituto of its ordinary amount of original matter.

In the first place, there ia little to write about; nnd in the second, the editor has been too much indisposed for more than a week to give proper attention to his columns. Whether we owe an apology or not, is a matter of Ooubt, as the valuable selections we present may more than compensate for the lack of original matter. RAILROAD EXTENSION. The action of the people of this county has aroused the sleeping populations of Frederick and Berkeley couuties, and they are now moving with reference to the extension of the Cumberland Valley Railroad, South of the Potomac river. We wish some representatives from the two counties named, had honored us with their presence at our meeting on Saturday last.

We should have been glad to show them that we to have this road, if faonest, bard oncTur)tiring worlc, can possibly secure its location through our We are very confident in the belief that the route which we so warmly advocate, is superior in every respect to any other tbat can be adopted and are equally confident that a survey of the several routes su-rgested will lead the company to the same conclusion. The Martinsburg Era of last week, has an article in udvoeaey of what the editor terms the North-eastern route by way of Winchester of course. There is no unfairness iu this article, except that its writer states in general terms that theirs is the best route, without assigning a single reason why it is the best. Of course then, the article demands no reply at our hands. The route through Jefferson is designated as the Eastern, and in his comparison of the two, the editor says Northeastern route has marked and decided advantages over the Eastern route.

Hut these natural advantages are about to be overshadowed by the superior energy and aetivi'y displayed by the citizens along the Eastern route." It is not improbable that the editor will inform us what these marked advantages are, at some future day. lie can take his own time to it. Jleanwhile, the people of Jefferson will continue to exert their "superior encrgy and activity," and the fruits wilfbescen before many days. Winchester has held a meeting on the subject, and from the proceedings we judge there must have bscn fifteen or sixteen persons in attendance. But what the meeting lacked in numbers was made up in zeal.

Here are the resolutions adopted Whereas, after a careful examination of the respective competing routes lor the extension of the Cumberland Valley Railroad, which are known as the Jlartinsburg and Winchester and the Charlestown routes, assuming that Powell's Bend on the J'otomac river has been fixed as a point upon the line of the road, and that Front Iioyal and the Luray Valley are objective points, and deeply sensible of the importance of securing to our people a cheap market for the purchase of anthracite coal, wo submit the following resolutions 1st. That we reg ird the route through Winchester as the shortest, cheapest and best, and for the truth of these couclu.Mons we shall confidently appeal to the results of future surveys, and with that conviction we strongly advise the company to adopt it. 2nd. That we pledge the people of Frederick county, in the event of the adoption of our route, to a hearty and energetic co operation with the company in the construction of tb'e road. Ilere then, we have the reasons why Winchester should be one of the points in the route of this road.

It would enable the citizens of that ancient town to procure anthracite coal at a lower rate than they are now compelled to pay. "We thank thee Jew, for that word." The interest of the road would not be promoted, but our interests would What a strong inducement this is for a great thoroughfare. Gentlemen, ij you expect to be on the line of a route with that oflered thg-PQUipany through Jefferson county, you must present some practical reason to show that yours is the best route. This you cannot do, and we advise you to accept circumstances, as nature has. arranged them, and advocate the route which Providence has The substance of the Winchester resolutions amounts to this the people of Win- Chester, have largely invested in Oiiental and i Morning Glory Stoves, and to keep thetn in i blast it is necessary to have "the anthracitc I coal, which cun be procured cheaper if we i have a direct line to the mines in Pennsylvania therefore, it is the interest of the railroad to come to Winchester, so that we may bo supplied, at the lowest possible cost, with the article we need.

The Cumberland Valley railroad ought to consider this cogent reason of the good people of Winchester, assigned in public meeting. We hardly sco how the company can disregard so strong an appeal. Sic transit, gloria mundi. STILL MOVING. We have just understood that the Board of Supervisors of this county, yesterday made an appropriation of Two Hundred Dollars, to assist in defraying the expenses of a regular survey of the route through this Good 1 Keep the ball in motion.

SW General Canby has issued the election proclamation in Virginia, announcing the adoption of the expurgated Constitution. Gov- ernor Walker is to be installed Provisional 1 Governor on the 21st instant, and John F. i Lewis Provisional Lieutenant Governor on the 5th of October, each to hold oflGce until Congress decides the question of the admissioo of Virginia. The State Legislature will assemble on the 5th of October. The people of Virginia take very quiet- ly, as they ought to do, the order for the assembling of the Legislature to pass the proposed Fifteenth Amendment, and the ry appointment of Gov.

Walker as "provi- sional Governor of the State." They hope I that all may right in time. I RAILROAD Id response to a published notice, a meeting of citizens of Jefferson, and other counties, wa3 hold at Lee Hall, in Charlestown, on Saturday, September 11th. 18G9, to consider the proposed extension of the Cumberland Valley Railroad. At 3 o'clock, the meeting was called to order by Col. Robert W.

Baylor, the Chairman, Benj. F. Beall acting as Secretary. Wm. n.

Thavebs, on the part ot the committeo appointed at a previous meeting, stated that the committee had had an informal consultation with the ghief Engineer of the Cumberland Valley Roail, and from information obtained from tiro tarembers had felt authorized to a rceonnoisance of the routo through to the line, which had been made by Messrs. John and D. E. Henderson, and J. B.

These gentlemen were present, and as he understood, ready to make a report their operations. Capt. John Henderson, on behalf of the engineers, stated that they had no written report to submit, but that in compliance with the request of the committee, a reconnoisance of the country between Dam No. 4, on the Potomac river and the Clarke county line had been made. The country along the route reviewed was found not only practicable for the construction of a railroad, Jbut would provo of very easy grade.

Qjnt. II. also stated thot wpto'oV-opiirion, from tho examination of the proposed route, and an examination of tho map from the Clarke line to Front Royal, in Warren county, the objective point of the route, that CharleBtown and Berryville were in the direct lino of the road. This report of the engineering party was accepted by tho meeting, when rioti. A.

R. Boteler stated that tho northern end of the county wos fully alive to the importance of tho work under consideration, and that tie people were ready to co-operate heartily in pushing it to a successful Mauy persons in his section, of whom he had heard, had expressed a willingness to give the right of way to the company to construct the road through their property without charge to the company, and such was the desire for the extension of tho road, that he beliorcd the damages would be very light. A letter was read to the meeting from B. F. Harrison.

Esq who expressed regret ct his inability to he present, but stated that he was ready and anxious to co operate in the movement, with time and money, if necessary, to bring the question to a successful termination. Maj. John C. Walker, of Rockingham county, next addressed the meeting in some brief, practical remarks. He assured tho meeting that the eastern portion of the county, from which he came, was ready heart and to co operate with their friends in Jefferson' and other counties, in tho furtherance of this work.

Hon. Wm. Milncs, of Page county, next entertained the meeting. He spoke with great earnestness of the determination of the people of the Luray Valley to have a railroad. Such a road was to them a necessity, as upon its completion depended the development of the inconceivable riches in mineral resources now embedded in her mountains and along her valleys.

The extent of this wealth no man could estimate, and it never could or would be fully appreciated until there was an outlet to market. Construct thisroad, and with the whistle of the locomotive would bo heard the hum of the rolling mill, and soon, what was now almost a deserted valley, would teem with a live and cnergetic population, adding to the wealth of the State, and manufacturing within her borders tho iron which was now sent to the North in its crude state and returned to us in manufactured articles, imposing upon the people tho tax of transportation to and fro. The speaker said if he were to state to this meeting that ono hundred furnaces eruld be employed, with a capacity of producing two hundred and fifty tons of iron each per week, for the next five hundred years, he would drubtless be hughed at and yet such was tho fact, and so great was the mineral wealth of the Page Valley. In truth, her resources were Mr. M.

continued to speak with great fervor of the importance of developing this wealth, and stated that his people were determined to have a road, and were willing to respond to any movements that might bo made bv the lower counties to secure such a result. But he assured the meeting that work was energetic, practical work. Our report furnishes but a meagre idea of the really excellent, practical speech of Mr. Mlines, which was received with great favor by the meeting- At its conclusion, Wm II. Travers moved tho appointment of a committee, to consist of two gentlemen from each county along the line of the proposed route, upon whom shall devolvo the duty of maturing such future action as may be deemed necessary for the furtherance of the work in hand, and of providing for the survey of the contemplated route; and further, that tho commissioners named in tho charter of the Shenandoah Valley railroad, in the couuttes of Clarke, Warren.

His address is Shenandoah Iron Works, I'agc county. On motion of Wm. II. Travers, a committee of three, consisting of Hon. Jos.

A. Chapline, B. F. Harrison and Logan Osbourn, was appointed to ascertain what legislation is required in furtherance of the objects of the meeting, and to ask that the same may be granted by the Legislature of West Virginia. Andrew Hunter, then addressed the meeting in regard to the importance of the work work which he said, had engaged his thoughts for a quarter of a century.

He desired to make an enquiry, the substance of which was, whether there was any guarantee of aid, in a material form, to construct this road To this inquiry, Mr. Milnes responded that he knew of no positive guarantee from any source; but of one thing he felt satisfied, that it was not the purpose of the Cumberland Valley Railroad to construct its road to the Potomac river, and dump its cars in that stream. But if the people here expected and desired the road, they must show their desire by their works. There being no further business for consideration, the meeting adjourned. ROBT.

W. BAYLOR, Chmo. Benj. F. Beall, Sec'y.

ADDEESS To the Eepnblican Voters of Ohio County. Gn the 28th day of next October you will be called to elect your various township officers, and also threo members of the House of Delegates and ooe member of the State Senate. The time for selecting your candidates for these positions is drawing near, and this fact is the only apology we deem it necessary to offer for venturing, at this time, to call yuur attention to some considerations connected with the canvass that we regard of more than ordinary importance. Fou have all so far observed tho signs of the times to be well aware that a decided change has been, and is now, going on in public opiuion all over the country, in respect to the permanent disfranchiscmentxjf the great mass of those who stand implicated in the rebellion. You have seen the Government has granted them general amnesty and, following its eximple, that such States as Missouri and Tennessee, which were not long ago more extreme than our own, have greatly relaxed the rigor of their test oaths and materially enlarged the scope of their elective franchise.

It is well understood that (ho administration at Washington end tho leading minds generally of the Republican party in all the departments of tho Government, favor and seek to promote this liberalized policy on the part of the States. It is also as near certain as anything in the future can be, that the day of completo fur-all men, white and bluck, is close at hand. This is the manifest tendency of tho times and very soon we must all accept the iact, willingly The nest session or Congress will most likely fee all the States once more restored to their places in the Union, with representatives in both branches, and there is scarcely a doubt of the ratification of the 15th amendment to the Federal Constitution, which amendment forbids all political discriminations in any of the States on account of race or color. This being the situation throughout the country, does it not beconic us in justice to our own ideas and sympathies, to adopt a party policy in harmony with this prevailing tendency of tho times, if we desire and expect to maintain tho ascendancy of the political organization to which we belong '( We believe that the test oaths that were adopted in this State during, and at the close of the war, were, in tho main, necessary, it not absolutely indispensable. They protected the weak and exposed counties against tho proscription and aggression that must have followed a return of the disloyal element to power and influence.

And, in addition, they have served well throughout the wfiole State, as a part of the great moral lesson taught by tho war. But, while all this, and more, is true, yet it is also true that under the protection thus afforded to loyalty, abuses of power, to some extent, have grown up. But this is not the place, nor time, to particularize instances, even were it certainly known to what extent power has really been abused in some of the counties in the matter of registration. Tho abuse of power is as old as the human race and is generally to be expected under favoring circumstances. And while we do not forget the responsibility of the rebellion itself for these abuses, both in tho way of precept and cxamplo, nor ignore the provocations that have tended to excite passionate executions of tho law, yet wo cannot on that account, lose sight of tho great truth that the just province of all law is the protection of society and not the punishment of the offender.

And, therefore, no rigor, or pemblance of persecution, is excusable after tho public safety is reasonably assured. And as regards the safety of our loyal people at this time, even in the most exposed counties, our information impresses us with belief that wo can afford to inaugurate the necessary steps for discontinuing everything known as war legislation. On this point we wish to be distinctly understood, as follows: We do Dot advocate an instant abrogation of tho disfranehiringclause in our Constitution, for that is impossible, but we do favor prompt steps by our next Legislature towards putting it in process of repeal process, by the way, that will consume upwards of two years from next And, in tho meantime, wo shall hope to see the next Legislature take early opportunity to do away with the test oaths now resting upon Lawyers, Suitors, and School Teachers. These oaths have had their day, and, whatever their service in the past, their future advantage to the State may well bo doubted. And as for the voters' oatti, we presume by the time it can bo legally dispensed with under the repeal process alluded to, there will be few disinterested citizens in our midst, however bitter their remembrances of tho war, who will really regret its discontinuance.

And finally, as regards the present registry law. while expressing our earnest attachment to the plan of guarding the purity of the ballotbox by a registration of all the qualified voters of the State, still we shall receive with satisfaction at the hands of the Legislature such a modification of existing features as will, among other things, provide for the election of the officers of registration by the people, instead of their appointment by the State Executive, and in such a manner, also, as will I secure the minority one representative in every county Board, believiug that these chauges will secure the best guaranty for an impartial execution of the law. believe that a gradually liberalized policy like this is not only just and right of itself, but in keeping with the grand record of patriotism aud statesmanship made by the lle? publican party throughout a contest unparalleled for its extent and bitterness. History relates no more enviable achievements than those of this great party which, coming into life to prevent the republic from being converted into a slave empire, has come out of a long and successful war true to its first inspirations in favor of justice and humanity towards all classes of men. We believe that in consistency with this record of our party at large throughout the country, and as a matter of expediency among ourselves, that we cannot afford to keep a large body of our fellow-citizens perpetually disfranchised, and thereby perpetually disaffected.

Ostracism within the State tends to bring about emigration from the State. Permanent disfranchisement is not in keeping with a form of government like ours; and were its continuance possible by the will of the majority, which it is not, the end could not be other than disastrous to the public welfare- An enlightened public sentiment therefore demands that there shall be no adherence to such a practice longer than absolutely necessary, and we have daiiy evidence that a change to this effcct is going on not only in our own locality, but throughout West Virginia. Hence, in conclusion, every consideration that can appeal to us from the better instincts of our human nature in favor of that mercy toward the erring which we all need, down to the best interests of our mere partv organization. prompt us to lay before our Republican brethreu of Ohio county these views, and to ask them to unite with us in giving them ef? feet in ths canvass this fall Twenty shares of Shenandoah Valley (Winchester) National Bank stock sold at the stock board in Baltimore Tuesday last at par.

The counfry demands it. The great loyal party "that brought the Union so safely through so mucli danger demands it.

It must be done. Because, if it is pot done, when the time for another election rolls around, the Democracy, with ono accord, will charge the imbecility of Grants administration directly upon the Radical party. Hence tha Radical party must do this in Turk Democrat. Obituary. WILLIAM PITT FESSENDEN, UNITED STATES SENATOR.

Mr. Fessenden was a son of lion. Satnnel Fesseiidon. and was born, Octobcr 10, 1800, at Uoscawen. Morrimac county, New Hampshire.

He graduated at Bowdoin Col.ege, in 1823 studied law, and was admitted to the i bar in 1827; opened an office at Bridgeton, i Cumberland county, Maine, where he practiced for two years, when he removed to Portland. Mr Fessenden was elected to the Legislature in 1831, and, although the youngest member of that body, he rose at once to distinction both as a legislator and a debater. Iron) 1832 to 1839 Mr. Fessenden devoted himselt exclusively to his profession, in which he very soon rose to the fiist rank, both as a counsellor andadvocato. In 1S30 ho was the second time chosen to represent Portland in the In 1840 he was elected to Congress, where be participated in the current debates with honor.

He declined the re-nomination which was tendered him in 1843, returning to his profession. In he was again in the State Legislature, but declined to serve after that time. He was defeated for member of Congress in 1850. In 1854 he was again in the Legislature, by which body hei was chosen United States Senator, and in 18oJ lie was re-elected for six years, during which term he was appointed by Mr. Lincoln, as successor to Chase.

Secretary of the Treasury, to accept which office he resigned his Senatorship, and Mr. Farrell was appointed to succeed him for the unexpired term. In 180D he was again elected to the Senate, where he distinguished himself by voting for the acquittal of President Johnson in the impeachment trial, in the face of tho threats and blandishments of his party, which failed to move him in the slightest from what he regarded as the path of duty. Mr. Fessenden was sixty-three years of age, I of commanding personal appearance, and was always considered one of toe finest-looking men in the Senate.

His unspotted pun'y of character gave him great weight in the de rations of the Senate, and his abilities ma him one of the leaders of his party. 8S- The story of the Avondale disaster is made a little less hideous than was at first supposed, by the discovery that instead of two hundred and three men, but one eight were imprisoned andsnffered a homble death in the burning colliery. Thc clo'1DS agony of the death of these men will never be known. The new code provides that any person who has arrived at the age of discretion, and shall profanely curse or Fwear shall be fined by a Justice one dollar for each offence. This is a good law, and we callijpon the u.

National Politics. A few days ago, the Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, was waited upon by a number of his political to whom be made the following speech "I cannot agree with Governor Hayes that the vexed questions of national politics ara wisely and happily settled that the great questions of liberty and Union have been s6ived, and the reconstruction of the Uuion made sate.

I cannot agree with him that retrenchment, economy and honesty have been introduced into the management of the Federal expenditure; that the debt has been decreased and is decreasing, as he states it; that the burdens of taxation have been reduced and their weight upon tho people lightened that sound judgment and freedom irom bad iufluenccs have been brought to the exercise of the immense power of the Secretary of the Treasury; that business is active that enterprise is aotive; that vigor, energy and industry are bountifully rewarded that employment is abundant; that daily toil ii fairly compensated; that commerce on the ocean and on the land is prosperous; and, therefore, I cannot serenely, as does onr worthy Governor, turn my face from all questions of Federal politics and look only at State affairs. I cannot say the Union is restored, when Virginia, Mississippi and Texas are nnder military government, and Georgia without representation in Conurcfs that the Union is restored, when justice is administered by a drum-head court-martial; that tho Constitution is maintained, when we know that the Supreme Court is only waiting the opportunity to declare tho reconstruction acta unconstitutional. I oppose the adoption oi the Fifteenth Amendment, because it is a material, radical change in our system of Government. It destroys the relation of the States to tho Federal Union which the Constitution established, and degrades them takes away from the States, without their consent, that essential attribute of a self-covcrnins; community. Two years ago the people of Ohio, without distinction of party, by an immense majority, refused to amend tho State Constitution.

I see no reason to bcliove that they have changcd their opinion. I object to the adoption, because by tho strongest implication it confers upon Congress a right reserved to the States to exclude from tho ballot persons of our own white race, because of their nativity, crccd, want of education or property, and prohibits tho exclusion only of another race. If the interpretation of Senator Morton and Senator Howard be correct, under this amendment Congress and tho States may exclude Irishmen, Germans, Catholics, Protestants, or the poor man from the enjoyment of suffrage, but not the negro or Mongolian. I object to its adoption bocausc it is part and parcel of a scheme to flood the cotintry with a fl.rced importation of on immense number of Chinese coolies, and to bring into our alien raccs a more difficult form of the social and governmental questions that have so unhappily divided our people." VALLEY ITEMS. From our Valley exchanges we copy tlie following items Report says the ol Valley Star at Lexington is to be revived.

Dr. George 31. King of Waynesboro, died on Friday week, from the effects of an overdose of laudanum. The Journal, a radical paper published in Winchester for more than four years, is dead. The presses, type, fixtures.

J. Armstrong was returning homo to Brideewater, in this county, somewhere between Harrisonburg and Dayton, his horse fell with him, fracturing Colonel Armstrong's leg below the knee and otherwise injuring him. We are very sorry to hear of this misfortune befalling Colonel Armstrong, and hope his injuries are not of a character to permanently disable him. Commonwealth. Robert Hicks, a young man residing near Nineveh, in Frederick county, met with a very serious accident a few days since whilst sorting at a threshing machine.

He was driving the machine at the time, and upon cutting the horses they gave the machine asuddon jerk, when he slipped and his foot getting caught in the gearing was severely crushed. At first it was thought that amputation would bo necessary; but fortunately the fears of his friends were not realized, and the young man is doing well. The Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire railroad company lias azain sent the two engineering parties employed by it into the field, this time for the purpose of ascertaining the grades of the line of the proposed extension of that road to the Ohio river. One parly, under Captain Bruce, has its camp located about twelve miles west of Winchester, and the other, under Captain 3Iarbury. has selected as its camp ground a site near Wardcnsvillo, about half way between Winchester and in Hardy county.

The company will decide upon the selection of no line until a thorough examination has been made of all the routes spoken of.
