Shenandoah Valley Railroad.
Jn the Senate on Tuesday last, Mr. Lewis, of
Virginia, introduced a hill to &:d the construc
ts u of the Sbcr.aud th Valley ra’laoa l, which
w as referred to the committed on public lands.
The bill proposes t • grant six sections of pub
lic lands per mile to aid the construction of
said road from Hagerstown, Maryland, via Jef
ferr on County. West Va., and Page County, Vu.,
to a poiut at or near Russellville, Tennessee:
Provided. That twenty miles of said road shall
be completed within two years, and the whole
road finished within six years ; and provided
also that the land so granted shall bo sold to
actual settlers at a price cot e.xree ling c=2.o0
per acre.
Mr. Lewis does well to trst the frvtern.d
Hiding of rhe lauu-grabblers of the Senate.—
Pliey havo voted away millions «p**n millions
rf acres of the public lands to Western com
panies, and are likely to vote many more.—
Then why should not so “ loyal ” a member
as Mr. Lewis meet with a cheerful, prompt
and practical response to his reasonable re
quest ?
“The Uupropitious Time.”
TheSh'p.htr istotru R«jt*ttr defines its mean
ing in using the above phrase. Hear it:—
“We declared this an uupropitious time, and
the favorable seast n will arrive vhen the peo
ple of this County w’fll s*> far f<rget tlieir in
terests as to submit to a base imposition at the
hands of an unscrupulous faction ; when they
become so credulous as to believe palpable
falsehood and ridiculous statements; rktn
they become willing to compromise right with
wrong—then, and the:, only, will they favor a
measure which relies for its success upon false
statements, base inconsistencies, and ungener
ous actions!’
People of the County, what say you ? lias
not tha; tiros almost passed ? is it not to be
r:d of jn.'i such knpositi u ut the bauds
of an unscrupulous factiou ’ that you and we
are exerting ourselves at ti. is “favorable time”
to have the County-scat restored to its rightful
place ; the County documents, already muti
lated and misplaced a great many of them. •
restored b> a place of safety and right—not
“compromised with wrong”—but established
tirmlv and securely ? Trusting implic.tly in
your ■* known integrity and intelligence ’ we
do not fear your answer.—indeed it is already
before us in the twenty-three hundred signets
of the petit, n for the return of the t unty

Action of the Legislature on the New
Constitutional Amendment
Sr. Lot is, January 17.—On Friday last a
resolutii a was introduced in the Lower House
f t!ic Legislature by Maj r Pope, of St. Louis,
endorsing the thirteenth, fourteenth and tif
t '< sith amendments totbe Federal Constitution

i .cut. as: i lav .ring the payment of the State
i:tJ National itilebteduess, according to the j
- veral c ntracts upou which the indebtedness
is baaed.
The resolution was debated during the morn*
i : hour, on Friday and Saturday, andcoutin
u l yesterday. It ha 1 been stated that the
resolution was introduced to force Genera!
Flair, if j • sible, to sustain bis p isition taken
in his famous letter t» Colonel Broadhead in
and upon w hich he was nominated in the
National Democratic Convention, or to recede
f i.i it. Yesterday Genera! Flair,on a motiuu
to refer Major Pope’s resolution to the commit
tee on Federal relations, of which Gen. Blair
13 chairman, spoke to the question, stating that
he was in favor of the 13th amendment, and
believed the S>u?h generally assented to it, but
o ra.vn<*uct a acts ho declared unconstitu
the Su
piemo C tu t iu the ca e of Cummings against
the State f Miss uri; also, to the case of Mil
ligan and F -ales, who were tried by a military
c .’.:i’..is.'i >u In Indiana during the war. Ko
• (erring to his litter to C lonel Broadhead, he
used the following language:
•• Now, sir, my lettir, which h.n been refer
red to, contends that the military should be
mid to i.-;! their usurpations at the South.
1 say s > Mill, and you have only to withdraw*
them from the South, and their woik will bo
undone. [Applause.] That carriou crow of
pet-baggers, wli ire core i up-o the plun
der am] drunk with the blu'd of the vanquished
pi*'pic of the S uth will disperse themselves 1
in au ins! ant. if not sustained by the bayonets j
! of the Federal Government. There is no item
in Fiat letter that I take hack. 1 stand by it.
1 believe in the construct! >n given to the Con
stitution of tin* I'nited States by the Supreme
(. urt. that this reconstruction was unceustitu- j
tional.
“ My hope in going to Congress, if I shouxi ,
attain that high position. is th<»t I may aid in
withdrawing the trmqis from those Southern j
st UK. which are held there to saddle upon the j
hacks if that people a parcel of carpet-baggers I

hare shown a deposition I 1 abide in good faith
by the arbitrament of arms, renew* their alio- [
glance to the Government, they will lie allowed j
to resume self-government among themselves, j
a*, we have done iu Missouri. And whilst I
may not expect to carry with me the gentleman

and certainly count u|*>n the cooperation of

European War News.
The defeat of the Army of the Loire, uuder
Geuer&l Chauzy, seems to have been complete,
though a despatch from Bordeaux says that
be retreated in goo 1 order. The battle-field
before Lu Mans was a valley, which was cover
ed with twelve inches of «uo\Y> and the two
armies had occupied heights opposite each
other. The Germans are spoken of as having
been cool and collected, the French bravo and i
impetuous. The carnage is described as hav
iug been fearful, the dead and wounded strew
ing the ground and the fields red with blood.
Fifteen thousand Frenchmen had fallen before
o o'clock. It was expected that another battle
would be fought by General Chauzy.
The siege of Paris is vigorously pressed and
the b-inbardmeiit is continued with increased j
el feet, the shells falling inside the city without i
intermission. The French have made “ frantic ;
attenipts” to turn the batteries with attacks
of infantry, using the bayonet freely, but have |
been invariably repulsed by the Germans, after
iidlicting but little h-ss. Two sorties were
made, one under the personal superintendence
ot Tr.whu, which are described a* haviug been
vig. runs *md fierce, but they were driven back,
iu one case almost to the glacis of the fort.
The French forces operating for the defence
of Havre were attacked by the Prussians at
Buurut'ville on Friday and were compelled to
retire. They are said to have fought well.—
The f it died town of Pcrouue has been cap
tured by the Germans. The capture is con
sidered important, as it secures a line of ad-I
\ ance for their reinforcements.
Favorable rep rts have been received at
Bordeaux from General B airbaki. He says
that the French have carried the villages of
Arn valid St. Marie, have reoccupied Gray,
Lure and Vo. ul, ami were gaining ground.
The jiarticu.ars of the great battle before
I.e Mans leave no doubt of iho complete defeat
of the French. It is remarked that the disas
ter was most unlooked for, ami that, if the
Sec mi Army of the Loire is lost, all hope for
France is gone.
A correspondent, writing from Versailles,
spvasuigor tne uomoarument, says uiat it was
absolutely unceasing for twelve hours. The
(.louche bridge, near IJasmetidon, was struck
by si.ells while crowded with men, broken
down and ita occupants precipitated an im
mense height, crushing them to death.
According to a despatch from Loudon, Gen.
Chauzy still holds stroug poaitious, has reor
ganized his army, and will resume operations.
The same accouut states that the external bat
teries of Paris were indicting great damage
upon the Prussian forts, and had forced them
to slacken their fire, and that the L’astern forts
had ennuouadod tiie whole Prusiau liue, ou
that side, with much effect. Faidherbo is re
ported lr tu Lille as daily receiving reinforce
ments. and to Le advancing, lieports from
Paris describe the rain of projectiles ponriug
into a portion of the city as being uuparalled
in he history of sieges, and that it continues
without interruption day and night. Hos
pitals, ambulances, schools, public libraries,
i Lurches and many private houses have been
struck. Women, children and infants In their
mothers’ arms, have been killed. Paris has
been turned into a battlefield and the bravery
of the women is equal to that of the men.
As the details of the disaster to the French
army of the Loire at Le Mans accumulate the
fact presents itself that the larger portion of
• Lau/.y’s army, estimated at W,n*)0 men, has
beeu forced to retreat towards Laval, about
forty n. !cs west of Le Mans, while a smaller
p rtion, estimated at some 3<>,000, retreated to
wards Alencou, about the same distance north
01 Le Mans. It is uot yet known whether the
two sections are able to communicate, but it is
certain that they arc making every effort to
rally f< r another tight, in which there seems no
h> >pc of success, now that they have been de
feated in one of the*r grandest and most hope1
fill and extraordinary movements.
General Chauzy attributes his bad luck to
ail inexplicable panic among some of his troops
before I e Mans, but • omits upou t» •• mi promo
effort ’’ yet to be made to save the country.
The bombardment of Paris continues with
murderous c< nsequences, and the hope of the
people seems to exist in the chances of relief
to be afforded bv the forts on the eastern side.
Thousands of persons u*e congregating on that
side of the city, and many find shelter in the
wood of Vincennes.
At. ther serious battle occurred on the Iftli
m ar IV f rt. in the Vosges, lasting nine hours',
in which the French were finally repulsed by
Gen. Werder.
The French Army of the North are again in
nr tint) and advances towards the Somme.—
The bridges over the river in his front have
been burned by tiie Germans. The French
have been heavily reinforced, and great results
are expected of the advance.

Tragedy.—Dr. Win. II. 1* berts was shot
through the heart and killed in Liberty,
Bedford county, a week or more ago, by W.
W. Johnson, son of ex-State Senator J. Fo.te
Johnson, of that plare. The dispute, which
resulted in this tragedy, is said to have been
about a dog. lie settled in Alex indria about
five years since, and practiced his profession
with success till about one mouth since, when
ho removed to Liberty, of which place, wo be
lieve, he was a native. Dr. Roberts had
friends wherever known.—Rich. Journal.
The Bedford Sentinel says that Dr. Roberts’
little dog jumped on his dead body, after he
was laid out, fondled bis face, whined and
moaueJ, and would not permit any one to
touch her master. The poor animal finally
had to be removed.
