For The Enquirer


Messrs Editors: The mealing TO be held at
Farnvile the 7lh May, consisting Of deesales
from the Roanoke and Appomaltox counties, and
Others has attracted less attention from our ci!i-
zens than was TO have been expected. The OBJ
ject OF The Convention interests and concerns our
city deeply, being 10 open railroad communlca-
ton with our market from county Of vast 70
sources in The production CT our most valuable
staples. II is Interesting in another view, bard
ly less impof!ant-ihe movement proceeds irom
district OF the State heretofore careless of i'm
pTovement, and opposed TO State expenditures to
make them. Every way, therefore, il becomes
our city 10 be represented al The Convention, and
10 cooperate in funhenng any jud;cious scheme
OF improvement which may be determined on.
Moreover, in The resolutions adopted at various,
if not all the meetings held III The several conn
ties Interested in this improvement, the city oil
Richmond and Town Of Petersburg have beer in
viied 10 send delegates 10 Inc Convention; and IN
failing 10 attend 10 this invitation, we should dis
appoint Just expectation, and probably fall short
OF Petersburg in attention 10 our own interest,
and in onr duty 10 ourselves and The country con-
necied with us.
We respectfully invite town meeting at the
Concert Room OF the Exchange, ON Monday eve

THE NEWS BY THE CALEDONIA.
We find almost nothing in The extracts OF the
British papers on the subject Of Oregon. The
bloody battles in the East seem 10 have engrcsscd
the whole attention of The British public. II is
melancholy TO read The details of The conflicts in
which 1000 OF lie British army. and $4,000 OF
he brave, bu unfortunate Sikhs lost lheir lives.
This slaughter, and the slaughter OF 10000
Sikhs, in a previous battle, has gained Tor The
British the full sovereignty Of The Pnnjaub, and
The payment OF million and half pounds
sterling. It was, indeed a brilliant victory,
though humanity shudiers al the loss OF life and
ruin OF gal!an, nation.
the English money market was in very un-
satisfactory stale, and the commercial accounts
from all parts Of The country gloomy.

The intelligence by the Steamer will probably
shed much lgh. upon The critical position Of Bril-
fish affairs in India. The manly end eficiens
bearing ofth Silks at Moodkee and Ferozeshah,
disabled the British generals to such a degree,
that they could not drive the enemy across the
Su,lej. The Sikhs remained a week between
The British army and The river without molesta-
ton.
