ROBERT S. GARNETT. Fec

paragraph which originally appeared in the

Esq Representative il Congress from Virginia
was candidate among many others for the Office OF

freeman, mas travelled through. most of the uauers
ms circumstance was viewed with great regret h,

itch Tor oiiice betrayed by members of Congress we
are HAPPY to perceive from the last Frederick sburo
Herald that this report is contradicted in q y,v
which leaves no doubt of its incorrectness We are
pleased with the contradiction on Mr. Garrctts in,
dNidual account, and still more on account of the
principle involved. That man is traitor TO b;s
constituents, and deier OF representative purity,
who procures seat in Congress with the secret pur
pose o awaiting himself of his presence at the
OF uoVernment and the influence which necessarily
belongs to member of Congress, to Law siege 10
every lucrative Office which chances to become w.,
cant. His presence only serves TO swell the ranks
OF the Treasury benches, without answering one
valuable purpose 10 his district or country Nav h,
may always be counted as dead shot at the 6 vel
low hammer as dead weight against the right
and interests of the people in all cases where the,
conflict with the views and wishes of Administration
we are happy that representative of the Ole
DOMINION has been relieved from the ignominiou
imputation which temporarily rested On him.
The Virginia Herald contradcts it in thes,
words: . As it respects this gentleman mir. Gar
nett we have now the best authority for saving tn,
statement was not true. Mr.. Garnctt has neve

From The Norfolk Beacon.

We have been politely favored by friend, with
the following of letter from officer of the
u, S. Schooner Shark, dated,
ss.1t anchor of Ponto .4ntoni del .Sarao,
February 10, 1924.
ION the 18th ut. we sailed from St. Jaso de Gu
ba the south side of the island of Cuba after en-
countering much bad weather, and several heavy
gales of wind, Called Northers here,) we succeeded
In landing Messrs. Andrews and Crawford at Alva-
rado both Of whom making prcparat atoms to set
out for the city of Mexico.
s. We are now at very secure anchorage, distant
about % miles from Aivarado, and about l2 miles
from Vera Crux. 1 returned yesterday morning by
land from Vera Cruz. The city found entirely de-
serted by the monied men, who with their property
and families had gone in different directions into the
country previous to tho bombardnent of the city by
she Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa, which, from ac-
counts had heard previous to my arrival there, 1
expected to have found completely demolished, but
much pleased to find il so very few of
the houses remain untouched, as they are all within
the reach of the Castle, from which 5000 bombs
thrown into the city, but very few lives
lost. The Castle is very materially injured AS we
had to call on the Governor before landing at the
city, had an opportunity of seeing some of the
ruins.
g. There has been cessation Of hostilities, but no
intercourse between the city and castle, where they
must be suffering very much for fresh provisions =
and from enquiries made by the Governor, he is an
Xiou5y looking out Tor rclnforcefnent. The Coun-
try is yet in very unsettled state particularly in
the city of Mexico, where some alarming disturban-
ces have occurred, which attributed to CastiIi-
aus who are yet secretly employed in nstigatng
them.
81 left Vera Cruz Sunday afternoon, mount
ed on elegant Mexican horse, expecting TO get to
the Schooner by shutdown, but when joined by my
guide, found him mounted on little jack, which
ne could conveniently have carried his shoulders,
and though travelling on fine sandy beach, it took
us eight hours to perform journey that could
have gone in three, thus keeping out i'll dew as
