For sale in Waynesboro’ by Wilkins & Cos. wy l-3ui Contemplated Junction ok Two Southwestern Links.- —For some time past rumors have been in circulation regarding an alleged contemplated junc tion of tho Atlantic and Pacific with the Texas and Pacific railroad on the 33 30 of latitute. A New York Tu lune reporter called upon Gen. Fisk, of tito Atlantic and Pacific railroad, in that city, on Monday, and applied for information on tiic subject. Gen Fisk said that, although the matter had been the subject of discussion, nothing had been accomplished as yet, although it was not improbable that a junction would be effected at a future date. The recent rumors probably arose from the fact that Edgar Thompson, President of the Pennsylvania Central, also asso ciated .with Colonel Thomas A. Scott in the Texas and Pacific, had recently ridden over the Atlantic and Pacific, and carefully examined the road and its equipments, probably at the sugges tion of Oolouol Scott. As the latter was in Europe at tho present time, no thing would be accomplished until his return. The original plan of the Atlantic and Pacific line was to run through tl.o mountains to the Pacific on the parallel of about 35 degrees. The- Texas lino was to follow, as nearly as practicable, the line of thirty two degrees. Under the new arrangement the former will bear dowu to 33 degrees 30 minutes, ans the latter up to tho same parallel, making a common line to the Pacific from the place of meeting. Bradfiuld's Fbmalf. Rkculator.—Wo havo often read in the newspapers of tho grand success of medical compounds put up at the North and elsewhere. Many of thoso medicines have had their day, and wo he ir no more of them. Their proprietors havo made fortunes, not so muuh from tho curative powers arid virtues of their mixl ures, as from tho notoriety given them by advertising, by whieii peopto were made to believe aU the good that was said of them. A preparation is now before tho public, which is becoming very popular, and is known ns Bradfi#id's Female Regulator, put up by L. 11. Bradfiold. of Atlanta, Ga.*at 51.50 nor bottle. Such is its curative virtues that it has gamed wide-spread populari ty all over tho country where tt has been mado known, and it is being introduced overt where. Wo aro informed that iiumonse quantities of this medicine are being sold in nil sections of the South and Sonthwost. especially in the city of Now Orleans and in Tex.is.

' A Secret Conclave—The Unit and States Marshals iu Secret Convention at Cleveland. Cleveland, duly 31.—A Convon | ti.in of United Ftntcs Marshals was held very quietly in this city, on yes terday. They met privately in the forenoon in the United Stales Court room, and held another meeting in the afternoon. In the evening th.oy gather ed in a room in the Kennard House.— They arc very reticent übout the object of coming together They dosiro to have Iho public understand that they meet simply to make each others ae , quaintunee and to agree upon a uniform I system of transacting the business of their offices. When pressed closely one of them said . “That is all the public nood know about it.” Similar meet ings arc to be held every few months. : Oliver Fiske, of New York, is chair | man of some plenipotentiary committee, but your correspondent has boon unable to asccrtaino the name, design or duty of that committee. It is not impossible that a third term for Grant may have something to do with this conclave. There certainly is something in the wind or they would not be so exceedingly anxious to be so very private about it. It is difficult to conceive what besides a political object could call them to gether. Their duties and fees are pre scribed by law, and they would hardly convene merely to make each other's acquaintance. Out of the sixty-one United States marshals in the country, the following were present: Robert W. Ilealy, southern district of Alaba ma ; William 11. Smyth, northern and southern district of Georgia; Edward R. Roe, southern district of Illinois ; Eli A. Murray, Kentucky ; Stephen I?. Packard, Louisiana ; Edward G. Golds borough, Maryland; 11. G. Pritchard, representative of James R. Bennct, eastern district of Michigan; George Smith, western district of Missouri ; Oliver Fiske, southern district of New York; William R. Thrall, southern district of Ohio; Noyes B Prentice, northern district of Ohio; Benjamin J. Spooner, Indiana; Peter Melindy, lowa ; R. N. Mclloren, M innesota ; John M. Dunn, Deleware; Zachariuh E. Thomas, Alabama. George Smith, Missouri, presided. The Credit Mobiliek Suit.— Only fifteen of the one hundred and seventy five defendants in (lie Credit Mobilier suits brought by the Government in the United States Circuit Court for Con necticut have answered to the merits, and have gravely dcnic t nil knowledge of fraud in these transactions. Ninety have moved to dismiss the bill on the ground that the court lias no jurisdic tion. Others want time for further re flection, and have made motions foi an extension-of time to answer, which have been granted by Judge Shipman, and tlicv are allowed until the first Monday in October. It is evident that these defendants arc not of ouc mind, atul the ‘Government lias plainly undertaken a | difficult task in bringing these suit*.-- i As those who have been granted an : extension are those against whom tho J prosecution is chiefly aimed, some timo ; must yet elapse before it will bo pos -1 sible to judgofairly of the prospects of the case. Destkcctive Explosion at Lexinu ton Va.— Tiic Lynchb >rg Republican says: “The gasworks at the Virginia Military Institute, at Lexington, wero almost destroyed ou Wednesday morn ing last by an explosion that originated in a very singular manner. Tho day before the accident the water hi which the gas receiver rested was drawn off, and the ‘man hole’ opened in the crown to let the gas escape, preparatory to | making some repairs. The gas, itsbems, | escaped very slowly, and the next morning tho atmosphere in the imme diate neighborhood was still oliarged with the combustible fluid. A colored , laborer about the premises was pass ing the works at an early hour, and at a distance of about ten feet from tho receiver struck a match to light his pipe, when the gas exploded, causing a tremendous explosion, by which the gasometer and several tons of metal at tackok to it, were thrown perpendicu larly about fifty feet. Tho negro was knocked dowu nnd stunned. The me tal was broken in pieces by tho fall from the height to which it was hurled. It is estimated that it will take ten or twelve hundred dollars to repair the damages.
