Being aware, that the Legislature of rirg.hn.kD:
soon meet, and knowing that IT will drvolye upon vi.
body to elect a Governor, | have concluded TO ask III,
favor Of you, to give this a place in your paper. Feel.
ing, Us do, an interest in the honor and advancement;
Of our Commonwealth, and having occupied some
time, in looking around me fer a competent person
II I'll the office Of Governor, have no, succeeded il
finding one more deserving, or better suited 10 tho
station, than Gen. William +. Gordon OF AIbemarle
II is needless to enumeratc the qualifications of &c
neeral Gordon, rs they must be familiar 10 all, who
know any thing about the history Of our State. II
IS my good fortune 10 know him well, and can safely
speak Of the richness Of his intellect, and the purity
of his virtues. Ii gave me no ordinary pleasure 10 wit.
ness his course during the exciting contest Of 1910
| always found him prepared TO meet his opponents in
fair debate, acgnitling himself with singular dignity
and ability. Instead Of exciting the passions, or
arousing the feelings, he was constantly endeayoring
TO carry conviction 10 The judgments Of those who
heard him, relying entirely upon the force of his prin.
cipics, aud spurnlpy tint order oideba;e which was So
fashionable with many Of the political speakers. r.
deity to the Constitution, integrity, both in private ard
public life, have ever been prominent traits in The char.
actcr Of General Gordon and, if there be n man in
Virginia, who has fallen a martyr TO principle, i is he.
Consigned 10 retirement, we still find him not falierIng
by the way-side, or Inurmuring at fate, but constantly
sdherins to his conscientious convictions, and pursuing
an even and quiet life OIL his farm, in Albemarle, Civ
inr, al the same time, TO all who desire il, a part of that
abundant store of information which he has acquired,
not for himself alone. There is no man more perfectly
identified with the int rests Of Virginia than is General
Gordon. A. a Statesman, the Commonwealth would
soon rear her declining head under his auspices-As a
farmer, the great agricultural interests of our State
would be proiec,ed-As 4 gentleman, Vlrginians would
take pleasure in honoring h,m-as 4 friend 10 educa-
ton, the destitute would soon learn TO sing his praises.

Gentlemen AN account having been given in the

tally correct as to facts, is, | think, calculated TO in
dnce wrong differences, | deem it proper to ask your
publication of The accompanying letter to tho Post Or

ers. that however blameable the conductor was in the
case in question, that blame does no, attach farther. 1t
il believed there is no Railroad in The u. S. where a
more rigorous police has been adopted than on this, 10
preyent The p~ossiGiiity of a collision of trains; an acct.
den, more to be dreaded than any or all others which
can occur on a Railroad. In the present instance, the
conductor, though in other respects 4 deserving agent,
has been discharged, and it is hoped that travellers
will perceive in this, an evidence that their safely on

Col. j. S. Skinner, Assistant Postmaster Central !:
Sir-The mails from this place going North to trede-
ricksburr, and West to Charlottesville, failed to reach
their points of destination on yesterday in consequence
oftbe fire box of locomotive springing a leak between
this place and the Junction, at a place in the hire box,
which before starting, exhibited no indications OF weak
ne IS; and which made it necessary to send 10 The juno.
lion for another locomotive. The over.zeal of The con-
duc,or to save the mail on this occasion was the cause OF
an accident which might have been a very serious one.
Soon after sending TO the Junction. for an engine, a
freight engine from Richmond overlook the mail tram,
and the conductor thinking with this engine ne could
reach tile passing place at Taylorsville, before the arrival
of the engine lie had sentfor to the Junction, proceeded
ON his journey. In this expectation he was disappointed,
and the two locomotives meeting on The road expert
enced a collision, which, but for the care with which
the mail train was proceeding, might have BEEN fatal in
it's consequences. As it was, though the locomotives
were too much injured to proceed and the MAJ! II con.
sequence delayed for another engine, No injury was
experienced by the mail agent o, passengers.
The conductor in this case violated our positive and
standing orders rai 10 proceed in any case where there
is q possibility Of mecting another engine, and will pro-
baby he discharged by US for doing so, though mis- fault
was undoubtedly a~scrloabie TO his strong desire 10 save
the mail, and make The connection at Washington.
