We are glad 10 hear that the Executive have
accepted the services Of Captain John P. Yousg 5
company from Portsmouth.
The second company rom Petersburg, Captain
William NJ. Robinson, will be completed in a
few days, and will no doubt be accepted.
The Kanawha Republican fears failure 10
raise company OF volunteers in that Senatorial
district, from the want Of some person "of The
right qualifications 10 go ahead in the business"
II is oola,e now, it thinks, The reqnisiIe number
from The State having offered their services The
kanawha Republican speaks as follows Of the
laudablc patriotism Of TWO ciiz-ns OF Kanawha:
1.-TWO noble young men, MIR. B. d. Fry and j.
L. kemper, members Of he kanawha bar, burn
ing lor distinction on the battlefield left this place
week before last 10 join one Of The companies IN
Richmond Weregfet that lhey had not remain
ed heres a little longer; they might have raised a
company and been placed in its command, 10
which their qualifications SO eminentIy enle
Them"
We understand thatlhese Two young men, who
have received thorough military education, were
about to enrol as piratfs in a company here;
but, at the instance OF some Of our citizens who
were struck with their manly conduct and fine
qualities, they proceeded 10 Washington, with
view 10 procuring commissions in The new reei-
mcnts OF the army probably 10 be raised. We
wish them success.

To the Editors ofMs Enquirer:

To the Editors Of hs Enquirer:
The day has already been fixed Tor The election
of U. S. Senator To succeed VIM. ). Archer !;
and as the writer thinks this is unc of The duties,
above all others that should most ineIcs, The Le-
gislaiure, he would most respectfully call On the
Democratic members 10 support Democrat
one who has always been True 10 The party, and a
man that will carry with him 10 This high station
legislative experience weight Of character, dig
niiy and personal influence, and one who wi |
fully sustain The high position that Virginia has
always held in The Senate OF ih- Unied State;
and the writer begs leave 10 say, that he knows no
one that will more fully come up TO his reeuis-
lion than James McDo~el, Of Rockbrid2e.-
Who, lei me ask, within The confines Of this an
cieni Commonwealth, has claims that can sur
pass those Of this distinguished gentleman? In
making this selection, [ am persuaded that il
would BE- responded 10 from the mountains ~ the
hay shore; aud ny reasons Tor thinking 81 are
FIRST his eminent qualifications Tor this high sta
lipn his high moral charac er, and his political
experience; he ha. filled The highcs, office in he
gin Of III. Legislature, and that with ability
which has never been surpassed Secordly, he
has been a Republican in The strictesi sense; ne
YER al any time, since he entered public life 10
the present hour, has he given single federal
vote The writer is persuaded that The talents
and qualifications Of Mr.. Mcdowell have been
more overlooked than anv man in Virginia and
do hope the present Legislature will distinguish
themselves by placing Mr.. Mcdowell in posi-
tion 10 aid in eleydhng our national character,
and where his genius will he known and iet
throughout the length and breadth ii the United
States.

The Battalion Of Volunteers, under the COM
mand Of Capt. Ro G. Scott, j., reached Old
Point on Sunday night, in the Curtis Peck.
We learn that nearly every man was present al
The roll-call on Sunday morning-a few only be-
ing unprepared for the trip.
We are panied to hear that - McNulty, one
of Capt. Carrington's company, was accidentally
drowned al City Point, when the boat stopped 10
take in the Petersburg company of Capt. Archer.
Ii seem. that The unfortunate man with brother
volunteer, John Bull English, were in The small
boat OF the steamer, which was suspended al her
side, rocking themselves in sport, and in the
violence OF The vibration were both thrown
into The river. One was saved, but The other
lost, in spite of every exerlion TO rescue him.
