We call special attention to the proceedings of a meeting recently held in Salem, (published on our first page,) which had for its object the consideration of the proposed railway connection between Harrisonburg and that point. The intersection of the Manassas Gap and Va. and Tenn. R. R. is a matter of so much interest to the people of the Valley and adjacent country, that we cannot possibly be too earnest or zealous in urging it upon the attention of the various counties along the Valley she expects an early and enthusiastic response. Will not the people of Augusta, and will not the papers of the Valley agitate and discuss this question, so vital to our interest? J. B. J. Logan, Esq., of Salem, passed through our town recently en route to Harrisonburg, having for his object the agitation of this Railroad question. He is Chairman of the Roanoke Committee and deeply interested in the whole scheme, and proposes that the people of Augusta hold a meeting with special reference to this subject on the 4th Monday of the present month, at which time he may probably make a speech, bearing upon the connection of Harrisonburg and Salem by a Valley Railroad. It is to be hoped that this matter will receive that attention on the day of our County Court which its importance imperatively demands.

An Overseer describes his methods of "managing" his slaves: "Just take the nigger alone--tie him--blindfold him--bare his back--and then take some sticks of sealing wax and a candle, and let the burning wax drop all over his back. He'll think he is being dissected alive! You never have to wax a nigger but once."

"We have no sympathy with your sentiments of sympathy with Brown, and are surprised that you were 'taken by surprise when news came of Captain Brown's recent attempt.' His attempt was a natural consequence of your sympathy, and the error of that sympathy ought to make you doubt its virtue."

A WARNING VOICE.

A WARNING VOICE.--The following says the New York Express, is an extract from a letter to the editors, from one of the most distinguished men in Virginia:
STAUNTON, VA., Nov. 2, 1859.

"It seems to me that the time has arrived when there should be consultation, and, if possible, concert of action between the Union-loving men North and South.--We are in great danger of being precipitated on a purely sectional contest in 1860.--We may stand one such struggle, but not more than one. 'If' there will be, beyond all doubt, a Southern Confederacy formed, and the CONFLICT OF OPINION will be followed by the CONFLICT OF THE SWORD. This is no idle surmise. It will be an inevitable result. I sincerely hope there is patriotism and national feelings enough to avert such a catastrophe. The outbreak at Harper's Ferry has given additional intensity to the feeling, which was strong enough before."
