gpectetat, WED.NESUAS, FKBRCAKY 9, 1887. Local Oepai'tment. Neiirly Eighty The Atlanta (Ga Constitution was furnished by R. S. Pyne one of the surveyors, on the Americus, Preston and Lumpkin Railroad in that Stale, a copy of the Staunton (Va.) Eagle from which extracts were made accompanied wltn remarks as follows: "Tbe Constitution has been allowed to peruse the columns ol the Staunton Eagle, a newspaper published at StauntoD, Friday, May 13th, 1808.

It is a neatly pilnted five column folio, and was number 43 of volume 1. Under the heading ofthe paper was the following motto: "Here shall the press the people's rights maintain, Unawed by influence, or unbrlbed by gain: Here patriot uth its glorious precepU draw, Pledg'd to Religion, Liberty, and Law." The paper was printed from long primer type. It had a'-Temple of the Muses," in which appeared a poem by Columbus "On Dueling." In the "Temple of Hilarity" were two witty paragraphs, one of which was a Joke about the honesty of lawyers. A marriage in Georgia and one in Maryland were recorded under the headline, "Hall of Hymen." The 4 Repository of Death" contained notices of three deaths. On the first page are printed, "By Authority," two acts passed by the "Tenth Congress of the United States, began and held at tbe City of Washington, on the twemy-sixth day of October, In the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ssveu." The acts were signed by J.

B. Varnum, speaker ofthe house of representatives, and Geo. Clinton, vice-president of tbe United States and president of the senate, and approved by Th. Jeflbreon. There were nearly two columns or "Late and Important Foreign Intelligence," which would now be considered very much belated.

In a communication from New York under tbis beading, dated April 23, It Is stated that "late last night our boat reached tow from tho very fast sailing ship Ocean, Captain Bunker, in twenty-four days from Plymouth, England. By this arrival the- editors of the Gazette have received London papers to 25th of last month (nearly two months before the Eagle received the news,) and now give a hasty sketch or their most important contents." Below are some extracts from this letter, whish will be found Interesting reading matter: On tbe 17th. of February the French got down some heavy cannon and took possession of Fort Scylla and made 1,000 prisoners. Russia ias declared War against Denmark and Prussia have also declared Wf.r against Sweden, "Bonaparte has created several princes, dukes, barons, and the dignitaries of the French empire have been raised to the rank of princes, and their oldest sons are to be dukes." In another column the Eagle points with pride to its enterprise in giving its readers foreign news only two months old. It would seem that, the Eagle was republican in its politics as opposed to tho federalists, judging from tbe fact that it congratulates Its republican readers "on the prosperous issue of the elections in Massachusetts, ann rejoices that the VIRTUE, the PATRIOTISM, and the INTELLIGENCE of New England Is superior to the arts of INTRIGUE and CORRUPTION." The particulars of a duel were given in its local columns as a matter of little importance.

The paper is clearly printed and remarkably well preserved. The oily difference lo be noticed between it and the modern paper being the absence of an editorial page and display advertisements.

wil! glad to know that on Wednesday last, Feb. day that that Hog has ior centuries fixed upon for forecasting the end of bad weathe did not see his shadow. He walked about, made some calls, looked sternly in the office window of a certain skeptical newspaper, and putting on bis glasses, looked carefully for bis shadow. Not perceiving it, he opened bis Weather Record and made this entry 'The winter has good crop this year." By sundown he had sold his overcoat, given away his Arctics and umbrella, bought a tan and linen duster, and was back in bis Vindicator, Feb. Wi The above appeared in tbe Vindicator on Friday morning, and on the next morning- ground was covered with snow and the weather was of quite a wintry character.

The prophet ofthe weather, the imprudent Ground-hog, with his shivering body covered with snow, and bis teeth chattering with cold, called at the office of our credulous neighbor, and, addressing him, said "I have no use for a fan and linen duster, but sadly need an overcoat, arctics, and fact, I feel that I have made a fool of myself. My dear disciple, how do you feel? Ditto, eh? vVell, It Is mortifying to be so deceived, but a frank confession is good for the soul. I implore you not again to be guilty of the rashness of publishing such a paragraph as you did yesterday morning." The credulous disciple pledged that he would not, saying that, ir he did, "he hoped his right hand might forget its cunning, and bis tongue cling to tbe roof of his mouth." The Ground-hog, seeming to be satisfied with this pledge, put on his "overcoat and arctics," picked up his umbrella," and took his leave, saying "I will now hie to my hibernal homeandthere remain till 'the winter is past; the rain is over and gone the flowers appear on the earth the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard In our j.u revoir.

The snow and wintry weather a few days after ground-hog day was a great disappointment to those who were expecting good weather on tho faith of that weather-prophet, but the mild weather for tha past, several days has encouraged them to hope that his prophrey may bi, at least, partially verified. "Disappointments Bluk the heart of man, but the renewal of hope gives consolation." What Is to bo the character of the weather during next six weeks remains to beseen. If the present mild weather shall continue for six weeks, then we may score one for the ground-hog, notwithstanding ue had been nearly frozen to death three days after his prophecy on the 2nd Instant.

It is too soon yet for him and his disci pies to boast. It is not wise to ''halloo before getting out woods." He has missed it for so many years that it is about time be was bitting it, else his disciples will lose faith. is easy for them to believe what they wish to believe, once in four years will suffice for them. 1 Fie; Syrup is a pleasant thing to take in place of such nauseous doses as Castor Oil and Salts.

A COMMITTEE WAIT UPON GENERAL WICKHAM IN RELATION THERETO. A committee of Stann ton gentlemen repre senting the authorities and people of that city and of which the Hon. Mr. Edward Echols wat chairman, yesterday waited on General Wil Hams C. Vvickham, second vice-president and manager of the Newport.

News and Mississippi Valley railroad, at the office of the company in this city. They came to see the General with reference to the railroad round-house and shops in Staunton. To secure the location ot these works there the city of Staunton gave tbe company tbe land upon which they were afterwards erected. They gave the title in fet simple. Oi late there has been very little bus! ness done on the property.

The locomotiveare changed and fixed up', not at Staunton, but at Clifton Forge, hence the profits accruing therefrom go not to the former, but to thi latter community; all of which facts the committee forcibly presented. General Wlekham said that the company accepted the land and built these works at Staunton in good faith, bnt that It would now he Impossible for them to stop their locomotives at Staunton. To make the speed neces sary and move the desired number of cars, locomotives of great power are required to cross tbe mountains. These are put on at Charlottesville. These pull across ihe Blue- Rldge, across the Valley, across North mountain aud down to Clifton Forge.

Next day they pull another train back to Charlottesville. The distance between tbe two places is Just about right, and all the conditions of success ful railroad-running are pretty well met by the existing arrangement, and would not be by a return to Staunton. General Wickbam, however, spoke very af fectlonately or the Staunton people, and de clared his determination to do what is possible for them. He will set to work to get some manufacturing company to occupy the unused property, aud in changes soon to be made in his railroad's operations he sees a way or doing Staunton a good turn. Tbe committee spoke to General Wlekham also with regard to running a foot-bridge over the track at, the Staunton depot, and be them to submit plans of what they proposed.

If lie understands their proposition there wil! be no difficulty on this Dispatch of the blh instant. The committee rererred to Is the delegation appointed under the resolution ottered by Mr. Oberdorfer, and adopted at the meeting of the City Council on the 18th of January. Since the return of this delegation, a Spectator representative called on Mr. Echols to learn if anything additional to the above published account ofthe interview could be furnished for the benefit of the public interest felt here in the success of the object contemplated by the action of the City Council.

He said there was Gen. Wickham remarked that about the 15th of tills month he would issue an order making Staunton a point for tbe change of the crews ofthe freight-trains. From 60 to 80 men, conductors, engineers, firemeu, breaksmen, are employed in this service, of which 30 or 10 have families, and those and most or the others will consequently reside here. It Is supposed this change on tbe road is what is referred to by General Wickbam in the paragraph next to the last ofthe report of the interview copied above. The gentlemen composing the delegation were Mayor Yost, Major Mo- Mahon.

Ed. Echols, W. H. H. Lynn, A.

C. Braxton and E. I. Jones. General Wickham's response to the committee, is just what was expected of him, lor he Is everywhere known to be generous and just in all his intercomse.

With the exercise of his kindly offices in planting a valuable industrial interest In Ihe vacant buildings located on the land ceded by the city to the railroad company, but not practicable for any purposes of Its own now, he will be materially aiding the city and its Interests, for it is the Increase of manufacturing establishments now more than any other new enterprises that it needs to keep up other features with its growing commercial importance.

A PROTEST AGAINST CHANGING THEI1 4 NAMES. the From the proceedings of our City Council, reported in the Spectator, 1 learn that it is proposed to change tbe names of many. If not all, of our streets. The only members of the Council mentioned in couneclion with this matter are new-comers here, and it is not strange that they should wish our nomenclature to conform to that of the places in which they lately resided.

But It is strange that the members of Council who are "to the manner born" should acquiesce in a change so radical and unnecessary. Some of the names of streets are nearly a hundred and fifty years old. They are a part ot the history of the town, and are associated with the recollections aud the life ofall natives or tbe place. The names Beverly, Augusta, Frederick, Lewis, St. Clair.

Coalter and others, ire cherished by all persons who were born and reared here. Beverly street was fo called after tbe founder ofthe la 1718 Augusta and Frederick, after the Iwo counties established by law at the same time, in 1733; Lewis ter the first European who settled near the site of Staunton, In Clair, after a prominent citizen ora hundred years ago, who laid off "Newtown;" and Coalter, after a citizen who became a distinguished Judge of the Supreme Couri of Appeals, Even the name New street is of historical interest, as that street was the first one opened on the extension of the town in 1750. And the name Market street perpetuates our knowledge of the fact that the town market-house was ou that street early in this century. So much for may be called. There is.

however, a practical question to be considered. Every deed for reil estate describes theproperty as lying on a certain street. or at the corner of certain streets; and when the present generation of people shall have passed away, noboay will be able to identify the property from the description. Endless confusion and t-ouble must ensue. What practical good a change of names will accomplish, Ido not perceive.

Surely It is as easy to identify tbe corner of Augusta and Frederick streets, as it will be 11 the spot shall be styled "corner of Second street and Welling ton avenue," or some other modern highsounding name. The people of the town will not aud cannot readily learn the new names, and for twenty years or more we shall have "confusion worse confounded," The Council might almost as well enact that their ordinances Bhall be published In German, expect log the people to acquire that language. The names of tbe streets are like ancient landmarks, and we have the scripture command: "Remove not the ancient land-mark, which thy lathers have set," Staunton.

"Washington, February bureau of statistics to-day issued in a large volume a report upon tbe commercial and industrial conditions of transportation and other facilities of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and Kentucky.

The information was collected by expert agents detailed to each of these ten States. The development of transportation by railroad and water, the growth of agricultural and mineral operations, are given in great detail. Chief Switzler in reviewing the report says ''Whatever speculations may be deduced from the exhibit here made, or the lessons it may teach our statesmen, it will not be questioned tbat the reports furnish evidences of recuperative energy and of material progress and developmeut by the Southern people unexampled in the history of our civilization in short, that the new and the mightier South is rapidly emerging from tha blight and desolation of the civil war, and promises in a short time to attaia a high degree of prosperity. marvellous development can be truthfully affirmed, not simply or chiefly in respect to railway transportation or to mining or manufactories, but to every material interest of the South and to almost every section of it. The exceptional sections are those which are destitute of direct railway or water communication with the markets of the world.

These and these only are yet to feel the forces which quicken the sluggish currents of the old life, and these, no doubt, in a comparatively short time, will hear the whir of the wheels that weave the web of towns. The contents of this report will be revelatious to the country even to the Southern people themselves, for they disclose a wealth of opportunities for enterprise and industry which is unparalleled The advantages of the South for agricultural pursuits, not simply for the cultivation of cotton, sugar and rice, but for agricultural development in all its branches, and for manufacturing, for reining the precious metals, for coal and iron (which are more substantial foundations of prcsperity), for lumbering and for stock-rais, ing, are being appreciated by the people of other parts ofthe Union and already thousands of enterprising immigrants from the North and West, and millions aud even hundreds of millions of capital are pouring into the Southern States."

In few words, he has sued a giand jury, and this because of acts performed in obedience to tbe Statutes of the State. lie takes his case, as usual, into the Court of Judge Bond, where almost anything can be done that degrades the State. But we hardly think snch a body as a grand jury can be assailed by a Federal Court, for to say nothing ef the question of weuld be simply ruinous for such a body to be put under hack and bullied by any wreng-doer, even by Mr. Royall. But there is another aspect to this matter which concerns the bondholders.

The offerings of wheat continue light and tte market Inactive.

Buyers appear as much indisposed to venture as holders are in making deliveries, and this seems to be the state of feeling in all the large centers of the graintrade in Europe as well as In the United States, except with the farmers of the North-western States who have continuously pressed their crops Into the markets. The disjointed condition of the shipping interests at New York, inconsequence of the strike preventing the prompt loading of grain and flour for export, exercises a depressing influence on prices, which have reacted en the Interior. Whilst but little, if any, of the wheat of our Valley is expoited, yet tho demaud in Europe regulates the prices our farmers receive for their surplus, and in that connection all Ihe Information bearing upon the demand there and the available supply to meet It, becomes a matter of Interest to tbem, and, therefore, we quote the latest compilation ol facts affectiDg the situation. A part of It is a recapitulation of what has previously appeared In our comments, but It is necessary in connection with the additional developments of the past week, and as a whole can be read aDd considered, and will aid conclusions as to the course the markets will take in the future "The quantity of wheat and wheat-flour on passage lor the United Kingdom on February 2, 1887, was equal lo bush, of wheat against, bush. February 2, 1880, being 3 984,000 bush, more this season than last, with stocks In the United Kingdom December 31, 1880, 10,173,17:1 bush, less than on December 31, 1885.

The estimated yearly consumption of the 37 008,317 population ol tbe Kingdom September 1880. is 212,000,000 bush. The home crop of 52.0U0.000 bush, being deducted, leaves a. remainder of 100,000,000 bush, ol foreign flour to be imported in thecert al year 1o end on August 31, 1887, of which 57,705,215 bush have already been imported train September 1,1888, to January 29.

Besides ibis the wants of continental Europe promise to be large. The United states, bob coastp, had on January 20,1887, only about bush, of wheat of iSSO crop to give to Europe." The comments on the markets at Liverpool and London are similar to those made in the larger centers of trade of the United Here Is a Liverpool quotation or February 3rd: "Wheat firm; demand fair; holders offer moderately." And here is another of the "Wheat quiet; demand has fallen off; supply good," and then the special closing prices the same In good supply and dull." All the statements made In relation to it, confirm tbe shortage in Europe, and the Insufficiency of tho visible and anticipated supply to meet it.

In concluding a review, the Prairie Farmer, Chicago, remarks "Friees are not likely to advance, unless there should be war in Europe, until there is a material reduction in Hay remains about as last week.
