The Fincaslle Democrat contains the proceed

posing to The Democrats OF the District to hola a
Convention at Union, on The 25th February, to
bring out suitable candidate for Congress-

worthy delicacy in Gen. c. Al once 10 remove all
ground OF complaint and refer The matter 10 his

We cordially concur in the following senti-
mep,s of the Fincase Democrat and commend
them 10 the Democrats in every portion oil Vir-
sinia. A mighty baue is 10 be fought IN the
spring, and every Democrat in Virginia must
nut his shoulder TO the wheel. With union, har-
mony and energy, the Old Dominion can easily
be saved. Without them, we may have the NOR
t6calion to see her follow in The footsteps OF New
York and Pennsylvania:
"There are many worthy gentlemen in This
District, some of whom have already been an
nounced as candidates. [Among Them we see

Il is time now which calls for vigorous and
united action. Our Federal opponents are ready
10 take advantage OF anything which affords them
the slightest prospect oil success. We must unite
in The support Of a candidate, and be prepared
Tor an earnest contest in case il is presented. IL

We shall publish very soon CONFIDENTIAL lei
ter from Gen. Taylor OF the 9Th November, ad
dressed 10 friend in New York, which has beer
published in the ~ Y. Express, and which has
produced much sensation in Washington anc
elsewhere. In il he rather complains OF the
want Of transports and other available means
which he had expected from the Government
and proceeds 10 justify the armi,tice at Monte
rey, with which he says the Government IS not
satisfied. He is opposed to carrying the war be-
yond Saillo, and thinks, il The object is 10 con-
qucr peace" the only plan is TO take Vera
Cruz and march on the city Of Mexico
He thinks the most judicious course 10 be pur-
sued is 10 take possession al once, OF The line We
would accept by negotiation, extending from The
Gulf Of Mexico 10 The Pacific, and occupying the
same or keep what we already have possession o.,
throwing on Mexico the responsibility and ex-
pense of carrying on an offensive war-at the
same lime closely blockading all her ports on the
Pacific and the Gulf.
We cannot conceal our regrets that this private
letter should have been so ndiscreelly published.
Wefear that il will do no good TO Gen. Taylor, nor
10 The country now engaged in war. We have
always entertained the hishes. opinion OF Gen.
T., and should be sorry TO see an issue made be-
tween himself and the Government, at this parii-
cular crisis. We are inclined 10 think, that, mn
der The present aspec. OF affairs, Congress will
"cal for The official papers" In The mean time,
We shall express no opinion, until we see The
whole facts spread before the country.

with undated fury. On the 4th inst, a
bout eighty of the citizens took several OF
the Regulators prisoners, conducted them
to the village Of Metropolis, and confined
them in a large house. On the 9th took
several additional prisoners, whom they
confined ia like manner. Some two or
three days afterwards, the Regulators rals-
ed a strong force, marched to Metropolis.
released their friends, and took several OF
the opposing party prisoners, who, alter
some ~indignities and admonitions. were re-
leased in a few days. These Regulators,
who recognize no law but their W will,
still maintain the a~scendency, and seem
likely to maintain it, the Governors pro-
Glamation to the contrary Notwithstanding
