This chamber was the one usually occupied by
the children of the family, but by mercfm inter

10 the Editor of the Stanton SDectat0r.

~ON'>'''s"'e
Dear Sr,-I have just seen in the "Tinesv of
the l4th, an editorial notice of my remarks at the
late Rail Road meeting in Staunton, which appears
to derive Its information from your paper, in which
am represented as avowng my preference of the
route via Charlottesville and Staunton."
am inclined to believe (not having seen YOUR
paper that the Editors Of the Times must have
misunderstood you, as was careful to declare that
could not form an opinion aUittout seeing the re
port Of the Engineer, achich ,cas not made, and
could not be, for several aOeeks. If, however any
thing In your paper naturally led the Times" into
that mistake, must beg you to publish this note.
as 1t is painful to me, to be represented as holding
different language in different places No one Is
authorised even from pricate conversation, or letter.
to say that had declared preference for either
route.
What said in substance, if not in words. was
this, that although the report when it should be
made, might present considerations which would
induce the Stockholders to prefer that route, never
theless, if the funds Were not raised, the other
would probably be adopted, if, on that, they ,ce,c
raised; and for that reason, urged the importance
OF placing themselves footing of equality with
the northern route, the subject of subscription.
Respectfully,

GG-The "Railroad' Dinner, given to Gov.
smith by the people of Rockingham, does not ap-
pear to have been very palatable one to many Of
the Governors political friends We refer our,
readers to the following article from the Charlottes
vile Jefersonian that they may sec how it was,
relished by the editor of that staunch Democratic
print:
GOV. SMITH.
Gov. William Smith was in this place on Satur
day night last, and left here in the Stage next morn
ing, Tor Harrisonburg, where public dinner was
to be given him on Monday. This dinner il is said
was gotten up to favor the route for the Louisa
Rail Road over Powell's Gap, and the influence of
the Governor is thus publicly sought to be given
to this route Now, we have not the least obiec
ton to the Democracy in the 10th legion giving
oov. ,. dinner, or of comforting upon him any tes-
umoniai OF Their respect. On the contrary we ap-
plaud them Tor doing 50; but we think it very in
discreet and nudicious in the Governor of VIRGINIA
accepting public dinner gotten up to identify him
with any one route over rival ono for as Cover
nor no should remain neutral least he should not
take the stump Tor or against eitlier.-=
0-The Augusta Democrat, although it expresses
no opinion as to the propriety Of Gov Smiths eors
IN accepting the invitation Of the people of Rocking
nam, appears to think that Dinner is great help
to any cause, and that volunteer Dinner might aid
Lieut.. KINNEY in getting few soldiers from that
quarter Our neghbor appears to have forgotten
that Lieut.. K. was in Harrisonburg on the day Of
the "railrOad" Dinner, and did not succeed in got
ting single recruit. The suggestion, therefore.

1.-The arrival of the Hon. Henry CLAY in our
city, on Friday afternoon, the 18th inst, produced
quite an excitement. Although he came quietly,
DESTROYS Of avoiding show parade, yet he was IN
the city but brief period before the fact was gene
rally known. and hundreds Of friends thronged the
hotel (Barnum's) to see once more the man whom
OF all others they loved most--HENRY CLAY, of
Kentucky. There is in that great mans nature a
commanding influence, which takes captive the
heart and binds it, as with chain of adamant, in
everlasting friendship. Those who have once
known him and admired his political career, on
having "reminiscences refreshed by his presence can
not repress the uprising of that enthusiasm which
animated them during past political campaigns,
when he was their candidate, their promising
