TO the Senate of VIrcinia.


As you have before you bill to establish se-
Sarate election in the county of Accomac the fol-
lowing statement OF iscts, derived from an uR.
Questionable source, may assist you, in coming 10
correct conclusion, IN deciding upon the said
bill. The Courthouse Of Accomac county, is si-
tuatod from 10 TO 20 miles, from the Southern ex-
tremity OF the county, gnd from 80 10 80 miles from
the Northern extremity. The former distance is
usually travelled In from TO 2-2 hours, and vsry
rarely exceeding hours; and the latter distance in
from IL to hours--very rarely exceeding &
hours. The average width of the county may be
stated at 10 miles. I. is believed that more than
3-$ths Of the FreehodfIs OF the county live within
20 miles Of the Court House. The roads from e.
very point Of the county, leading to the Court
House, are among the finest ia the world the hea-
west rains cause no obstruction TO travelling at the
season OF the Elections, and veryIitle any sea-
yon OF the year. Tbeseis not river, creek or
branch from extremity OF the county to the o.
tser which ever o5sructs travelling. AS to hills.
there Is comparatively no such thing within the
county. From Swansdgut Bridge 10 the Court
House, distance OF about 80 miles, there is not,
(on Wsllop's road) single hill or sandy spot, to
obslruct or etard the ordinary gallop or trot Of
horse. There few Freeholders living on the
Islands but in the last OF April the incleulency Of
the weather never prevents those hardy fellows
from crossing the water. They, however, care
very little for Elections, and when they do come
OF to them, they can approach within mile or two
OF Drummondtown by water. There is probably
not Freehoider within the county who is not the
owner of horse, and who cannot readily (if he be
anxiously disposed TO exercise the elective fIan-
chise) always be at election at the Court
House. II Is remarkable that on the day Of an
Election, the Freeholders from the uppermos, end
Of the county, among the first assembled at the
Court House. 1t is supposed there are about 500
Fteeholders in the county. What number OF these
has petitoned? by lookinginio the several Acts
establishing separate elections, il will be found,
that the intervention OF mountains and rivers Is u
niformly reci,ed the foundation or reason Of such
Acts The foregoing facts are surely sufficient to
convince any impartial man that the Freeholders
OF Accomac Iabour under no Inconvenience, In the
exercise ofthe elective franchise, which a small
share Of zeal 10 the result OF elections may not ca
ely overcome without legislative aid. And il Is
honestly believed (from what the writer has heard)
that the freeholdcrs uainhuencsJ ty the few,

the the Odd ultimo originally intended, without
risk of considerable loss to the manager the drawing
of the same is hereby postponed for 80 20 days. no.
tce of the precise day which the Lottery Will posi-

p. C.qNFLELD, Manager.
1t may not perhaps, be necessary to assign any fur
Their reasons for this short postponemen than are con-
tanned in the above The MANAGER would, howev-
er beg leg leave to add that when this class was Is
sued few persons if any, anticipated in the least, the
late panic the money market which has almost para
lived every kind of business, and has caused SUCH SIN
gular and unprecedented stagnaton in trade. The
distress of capitalists and moned institutions has not
been confined to any single state in our coniederacy,
but has been severely felt from ore extremity OF the
country to the other and has been general in several OF
the oldest and wealthiest foreign countries And II
will not be considered q matter OF surprise, that the
same causes which have induced so recently the post
ponement the drawing of important lottery, should
have similar effect ofmuch greater magnitude.
But it is hoped that happy change for these reverses
has already commenced, and that all casses OF our cii-
zens in every part of the Union will participate in
the returning tide of prosperity The scheme now Of
fered is by far the most attractive and splendid OF any
ever presented to the public in the United States and
many very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with princely fortunes or handsome add
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken interest in this Lot
terry, now have an additional opportunity offered them;
and they are respectfully reminded, that by promptly
purchasing chances in this most splendid scheme they
will insure an early distribution the rich prizes con-
ains-as the lottery shall positively be drawn as soon
as the sale of tickets will justify; and the prizes paid
in cash Immediately after the drawing; all persons
therefore are invited to forward and take ticket
or share at either Of the managers offices; where all
applications personal per letter, will at any time be
promptly attended by the publcs obedent servant
