THE FRESHET IN WINCHESTER,
VIRGINIA.

The Charleston Free Press says that the
damage in Winchester, Va, from the late
freshet, isput down at 100000, and sew
eral persons were near being drowned in
one Of the main streets.
A slipfrom the Office of the ,Lewistown
(Pa.,) Gazette gives details of the DANA
ges done by the food in the Juniata valley.
Not a single bridge was left standing on
the Juniata.
The Pittsburgh Gazette says the Penn
sylvania canal has sustained such injury
as to preclude all idea ola resumption of
transportation through to Philadelphia this
fall. The western division has been slight
Up injured, and can be repaired in a few
days. The material damage will not fall
short of 100000, and the cost Of repairs IS
estimated at about 100000.

MR. EDIToR:-I sec by the public prints
that some feeling is beginning to be evinc-
ed in regard to the nomination for Lieuten-
ant Governor; heretofore but little has been
said in reference to this matter, tile public
mind having been mostly absorbed in cast
ing around for the most suitable person to
be run for Governor. lis true that the
latter is the most important Office, yet upon
the former great responsibility rests whilst
presiding over the deliberations of the SEN
ate, and that responsibility would be great
ly increased if by a P~rovidential dispensa-
ton it should become his duty to administer

ciated the talents, the stern integrity, the
firm, consistent and unwavcring devotion

will not forget at the ensuing State Conven-
tion to do justice to the merits Of this zeal

We are requested to say that the Town

MEETING.

Let the democrats Of the county remem-
Der that there will be a Mass Meeting Of
our party at Bowling Green on Monday the
first day of the County Court. The object
of the meeting is to appoint Delegates to a
District Convention for the nomination of a
candidate for Congress; and to the State
Convention for the nomination Of candid
ates for Governor and Lieut.. Governor, and
probably to select Delegates to a National
Convention to nominate a candidate for the
Presidency in '4s. 1t is highly important
that there should be- a MASS MEETING of
the party; such a one as will fully reflect
the opinions and feelings of the democrats
of the county,-not only in the selection OF
candidates, but in the organization Of the
party. We would also like to have an ex-
preston of opinion, on the question of the
War, and the~Wilmot proviso, the all excit.
ing topics of the day, which are destined to
be the great and leading questions of the
canvass of '4S. Then let us turn cut "o6e
and alP'-let us 60 to the meeting, organ.
ize and prepare to meet these new issues
fearlessly and firmly.

GEN. PRICE.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Req
ellie writing from Santa Fe, speaks in the
most Aattering terms of the services and
worth of Gen. PR1cs. In speaking Of his
departure for the States lie says:
"He leaves behind him a host of. warm
friends and admirers. In fact, it has never
been my lot to meet a man who has filled a
public situation without receiving censure
from some until | met with Col. Price, and
| can safely assert that there is not a pri-
vate in his regiment who would not boldly
defend his reputation at the point of the
sword. By his straightforward: honest and
impartial course, while colonel of the I'd
regiment, he has become the idol of his
men,"
The account given by this correspond
ent of the ReveiHe contrasts smartly with
those invidious ISLANDERS with which the
Wing press have been teeming so long
The St. Louis Nsw Era says, and it thinks
significantly too that if those tales were
not true, that Gen. Price should call a
Court Martial to have himself acquitted.
Acquitted Of what? Gen. Price would in
deed have but little to do to be calling
Courts Martial to vindicate his reputation
against every idle story circulated by his
opponents, without the shadow of formality
or reasonableness in what they contain.-
Empty assertions of some knave Of a sland-
icrer, who could not be found or relied upon,
to prefer any such charges. We are dis
posed to cast no reflections upon any of our
public men, but would remind the Era and
others of its class, that it need not always
look to the Democratic party (as they are
want to do) for persons against whom such
charges are made, and wen Of a more seri-
Gus and formal character; that if they are
a-mind-to, they may notice charges OF a
more recent date against a military charac-
ter, which it would have been easy to have
proved or disproved by facts, instead of try
ing to make out a case as they would have
to do in the former case, by asking the opin.
ions of men as TO the order and discipline
&c. maintained by Price.

1.-THE St. Louis Union says: "As our
neighbors of the Republican have failed 10
notice the following response of the B0Stcn
.FHas to their arguments and appeals, VIC
give i to the public here; that the views
taken by eastern Wings, of the Republicans
course may be fully known:
"We are sorry to see sentiments subver-
sive to ho!ting a Wing National Conver-
ton, advanced By so respectable and inhu-
%ential a paper as the st. Louis Republican.
That a convention will be holden, and nor-
Iinations will be made, nothing can be more
certain. Ifthere are States which will net
come 10 it, very well. They can act as
they think proper. The Democratic party
will hold a National Convention, and will
make nominations. The Wings, from this
cause if from no other, will he forced to
hold a convention. The Republican mis-
takes the public sentiment Of the free
States, and we believe of the South also,
if it supposes that the Wings are ready to
take up the Presidency. All this talk about
"the people have determined" to do is mere
moonshine; in nine cases out of ten, it only
means "what the politicians have deter
mined"
"For the Wings to elect their man, they
must Re in the first place UNITED, and in
order to unite, a Convention must be hol-
den. We must give up the mistaken no.
ton that we are to gain assistance from the
Democratic party. Wemust rely upon our
own selves, our numbers and OUR PRINCE
