MEETING IN BoTEToURT.

The good people of Botetourt appear to be
greatly outraged the conduct of the late Legis-
lature, especially in neglecting TO make provision
for the extension of the James River Canal, and
for refusing to authorize Convention to amend
the Constitution, "upon equitable and republican
| principles" meeting Of the citizens, (Which
is reported to have been very large and respecta-
bie,) was held on the 9th instant, at which Judge
Edward Johnston presided, to determine what
was proper to be done under the circumstances,
and Col. ]. II. Anderson, Col. Thos. Shank.
James l.. Woodvile Benjamin Carper, John
Brough, Green James, F. II. Anderson, Benia-
min Amen, Henry NJ. Bowyer, and the Rev.
John N. Johnston, were appointed a committee
to prepare and report suitable preamble and re-
Legislature flagrantly unjust, and declare that
whilst it would be most painful to them to see
the beloved Commonwealth severed in twain,
they would prefer its peaceable division TO re-
naming any longer in state Of vassalage TO the
East. AS present measure, however, they are
for petitoning the next Legislature to give to
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company the
right to construct their road along the Valley of
Virginia to Buchanan on James River, thence up
The river to Covington, and thence by the Vir-
pinia Springs to the Ohio river; but il this
should fail, then they think it will be for the
people Of the West calraly TO consider how far it
is desirable to preserve the present political con-
nexion that binds them TO their Eastern brethren,

THE LATE RICHMOND AFFAIR.

For the purpose of correcting misrepresenta-
tions it may be proper to say that no occurrence
took place during the combat which the friends
of either party considered as manifesting undue
advantage on either side that Mr. T. Richie, jr.,
had no bowe-knife, but Roman artillery sword
that he awaited the assault Of Mr.. Peasants
at the spot specified, and although unhurt he
ceased 10 strike as soon as the attack of Nh Plea
SAINTS was discontinued. In justice TO the gentle
men who bore Mr.. Peasants message, and TO
the gentlemen who delivered Mr.. Ritche's an
swer, we must also be permitted to state that as
Nh Peasants was about sixty yards from Mr..
Ritche, advancing rapidly upon MIR. r., with a
pistol in each hand, both Of these gentlemen
called loudly upon him to stop, they having deter
mined to take upon themselves the responsibility
Of arresling the combat Mr.. Peasants, unfor-
tunately for all, paused only for instant. and
shaking his head in dissent, advanced 10 the
attack .-Union.
