A writer in yesterdays Wing argues against
the availability Of MIR. Clay, and in favor of Gen.
Taylor, for whom, he thinks, many Democrats
will vote. We are equally satisfied tina, he is
mistaken, and for proof, give the following e1-
tract of a letter from an intelligent source in
Prince Edward, received yesterday. The writer

result Of the surveys and reconnaissance in Char

a mile and a half North of Charlotte Court

ed, the distance from Richmond 10 Danville would
