MK. EDIToR-Col. Ashley and his friends need no longer count on the support of tue northern democracy for the United States Senate. They may expect them to present a candidate of their own. if the north has not men superior to him in intellectual en- dowments, she las them intellectual enough for her purposes-men of ability-weI ac- quainted with her interests, and surpassed by none in political honesty and uniform deyo- ton to the immutabIe principles of Demo- cracy.
 Before the recent democratic convention. we were entirely willing for Col. Ashley to go again to the United States Senate. for we then had confident hopes of having our i,;st claims to Representative Tn Congress. re- cognized by he convention-especiallv as if was known to be composed principally of Col. Ashley's friends But the nomination of southern man for Congress has materi- ally altered the case, and Col. Ashley canuo; now reasonably expect the North to forrel her own men and interests for his sake.

held in Stanton on the 9th, recommending the ex
tension Of the Louisa Railroad to the base of the

commentator, we still are more in favor of its i'm
mediate extension TO some point on the Ohio or Mt
least to Covington. In noticing the Address. per
coive that some valuable considerations have been

fourteen water-power Saw-Mills with large sup
plies of timber These mills, cutting at the rate of
about 700 feet Of Plank per day. would make for

by the Governor Of Virginia
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS, the President Of the United States.
In pursuance Of the Act of Congress providing
for the prosecution of the existing war between the
United States and the Republic of Mexico, has
made requsition upon the Governor of Virginia
for one Infantry Regiment of Volunteers for in,,ne
d,dte serc'ce, and to be continued therein during
the ,cdr scih .Merico unless sooner DISCHARGED
AND whereas, by the change of the term of service
the enrolment OF the three Regiments of Volunteers
under the Proclamation of the 23d Nav last is
void-Now, THEREFORE,, | WILLIAM SMITH.
Governor of Virginia, do hereby make known. that
the services OF ten companies, to constitute Reg
iment of Infantry, to serve according to the terms
Of the requstion of the President, will be accented
the said companies to consist Of
Captain; First Lieutenant Second Lieu
tenants; Sergeants A Corporals; 9 Must
clans; and so Privates
These companies, when organized and commits
stoned, to rendezvous at Guyandotte where thew
will be mustered into the service of the United
states. Volunteer companies of Infantry enrolled
under the Proclamation of 23d Nav last. who shall
promptly conform to the new organization and give
notice thereof to the Governor, will have the pre-
terence. But the Officers must necessarily be e.
lected anew, and rs it is for immediate and impor-
tant service in the field, it cannot be too strongly
impressed upon the men that in electing their Off
GERS all personal preferences should be discarded
and the best qualified officers chosen
No Officer of the Militia, whatever NAV be his
grade, will forfeit his commission by entering the
proposed Volunteer service.
The promptitude with which the requsition for
three Regiments, to serve for twelve months, was
responded TO, affords undoubted assurance that the
single Regiment now called for will be speedily in
the field.
Given under my hand as Governor, and under
go the seal of the Commonwealth, at
XN Richmond, this eighteenth day of
22S0 November, in the year of our Lord
~ eighteen hundred and forty-six, and
of the Commonwealth the seventy first.
