Mr. Editor: Whether the propensity arises from
MALICE or solely from the love of amusement, | am
unable to say but certain it is that have always ta
ken pleasure in witnessing those little ailings which
are not unfrequently found among the good and kind
hearted. Last Sunday, at the close of the morning
service, as Glanced to follow in the train of small
party, on their way from church, it my fortune to
overhear their comments upon the various subjects
suggested by what they had seen and heard. The
group consisted of elderly gentleman, of grave and
formal carriage, accompanied by his wife, mother
y parsonage Of about sixty, who was supported on
her left by girl and boy of about sixteen, and
lady who appeared to have reached the meridian of
her charms. The imagination of the reader must as
sign the shares of the conversation to their respec
tive proprietors.

fGENTLEMEN-I regret that 1 did not, until

goth inst. announcing TO the fact, that the del
sgation from the several counties Of this Senatori-
al District, which recently met at Matthews
Courthouse, have nominated me, together with

r.espectful Acknowledgements to yourselves, and
through you, to the people, whose organs you
were, for this distinguishing mark of their conf
dence and favour.
Believing as do, that the station for which you
nave been pleased TO designate me, is one which
ITO citizen ought either to solicit decline, have
10 hesitation in saying, that II il should be the
pleasure Of the people TO elect me, shall accept
the trust with proper impressions Of its importance,
with deep sense of its solemn responsibilities
and with firm purpose to devote such powers as
possess, to the duties Of the station, with single
eye to the public service
regret, that it will not be possible for me to
VISIT as YOU request =" the several counties Of the
District, during the month Of May, on the Court
Day of each County"-No consideration Of pri.
vete or personal nature, could prevent me from
paying this respect to the people, but my official
engagements will not admit Of it. The duties Of
my Circuit commence on Monday next, and will

FAUeUIER, May 2, 1929.
1t has been announced to the District that pelT
would be held for me far the Convention: | feel
sensibly the honor which has been done me; il
maniests high degree o. confidence in my prin-
cipes, and 1 regret that | am forced by the pre-
sent posture OF affairs in relation this subject to
decline canvas which il is probable will form
distinguished era in the history of Virginia.
A recent event in Fauquier, we'll as several
that have preceded it, bids me, as friend to the
great measure now before the public, to use all
honorable means 10 insure further and complete
success 10 the principle which have long advo-
Gated. No means which have been suggested to
my mind, have promised more, than my declina-
ton OF the proposed honor. l should meet with
more opposition in certain political quarter than
any other individual, while those with whom have
acted and by whom have heretofore had the hon
or TO be supported, would be cut up and destroyed
by internal dissentions The success of principles,
and not men, is my object to ensure it, we should
consolidate our force, not weaken il by divisions.
We stand iii need of union and vigilance.
There before the District, three gem
tlemen from Culpeper and two from this county,
whose lives have been devoted TO the study of the
rights OF persons and Of property yield at once
to the superiority OF their pretensons, and hope,
that the strength which might be wasted by divis-
ion on me. may be so husbanded and so directed
as to secure the election of the most efficient
friends of reform.
Our opponents in the lower country will send in
to the Convention an array of powerful men: We
should meet them with knowledge and ability e.
quail TO theirs.
Very respectfully,

se5ce between the Two Boats without obstruction.
The furnace and boiler placed in the fore part
exactly over the space between the two boats so
that the Goals passing through the CRATES fall inn
mediately into the water.-The paddle wheel is
directly behind the boiler, between the boats, and
the piston, cylinder & crank are on one side s. the
fly wheel on the other. The water after having
been acted upon by the paddle wheel which is RAJ
Their Onward OF the middle OF the boat, passes out to
the stern between the boats, being thus confined g.
smoothed before it is clear of the stern, no waves
Of any considerable size are formed.-The agita-
ton OF the water when the boat was going at the
rate OF four miles hour, less than that caus-
ed by horse boat going with much less speed.
From the paddle wheel to the stern, a platform is
laid over both boats and the space between them,
forming the floor Of the cabin, which contains
twenty seven births.
sOn account Of the lowness of the bridges, il was
necessary that the chimney should not be higher
than the roof of the boat. An ingenious machine is
placed in il for the purpose of creating draft be-
ing kind OF wind mill running 30 as to draw the
air out OF the chimney, and turned by band from
a wheel attached to the machinery. Two cords
OF wood were expended in the passage from Gin
cinnati to Dayton.
UTAs The Elections for the Convention will
soon beoyer, we shall in few days be able to i'm.
part more miscellaneous complexion to our Col
umns-and one which will probably be more agree
able to our distant subsc rbers.
One ofthe newspapers of this City has given cir
culation to report, that John Campbell, Esq is
to be appointed Treasurer Of the u. States. We
understand, that the duties of that office are SO
simple aso require little experience TO understand
them. Major Campbell has been for many years
member Of the Executive Council of Virginia;
OF great responsibility of character, possessed of
cultivated mind, and of the highest sense ofhonor
We should congratulate him, his friends aud his
country on this appointment.
THE $4,000 FUND
In reference 10 the statement from the u. s.
Telegraph, that the sum of 1000 had been con-
tributei in Baltimore, TO the conducting of Press
at Washington, under the auspices of DR.. Tobias
w atkins, the Boston Commercial Gazette says:
1.-The statements made above are undoubtedly
correct. We have seen the names Of ten gentle
men Of Baltimore, who are said to have subscrib-
ed the sum mentioned. The object of DR.. Wat
kinss late visit to this city, il is reported was to
obtain further subscriptions to the fund. Whether
his mission was very successful, we have our
doubts; for the people of New England have been
monstrousy gulled by the American SYSTEM
already. The Editor of the Baltimore Patriot, we
suspect, can furnish his readers with the partcu-
lars of this business"

INTERNAL IMPROyEMENT.

The following article announces the probable sue
cess OF an immense improvement, which is g:tempt-
cd TO be effected in canal boats. 1t is great de-
sideratum in water Communication. ---Unless

roads, assisted as they are by stationary or self
moving steam engines,) must, in many cases. SUI
