ton Spectator contains correspondence between
jefferson Kinney, esq, mayor OF Staunton, and
Hon. b. G. Baldwin, in which Mr.. Kinney invites
Judge Baldwin to deliver Grafton in honor of the
memory of Mr.. Johnson. We regret that the en-,
crossing nature of Judge Baldwn's public duties
compel him to decline the invitation Augusta
county was the theatre of MIR. Johnson's early
professional labors, and of his rising fame.
In his letter declining the invitation, Judge Bald
win pays the following tribute to Mr.. Johnson,
which all who knew him will admit is as true as it
is happily expressed.
'He was, indeed, most virtuous and able man;
of pure thoughts and kind affections of comprc-
hcnsive, powerful, and disciplined intellect of wide
benevolence and unswerving fidelity. Such COM
bination of high qualities had their reward-the
unbounded confidence of all who knew him-the
unfeigned respect of all who approached him--the
devoted affection of all who surrounded him. His
usefulness extended far beyond his active exertions,
preeminent as he at the bar and in the Senate.
He was public benefactor by the teaching of his

of his example; and fathers have long pointed him

The SERENADERs.-The Nightingale Screnaders
closed brilliant business last evening at the Adel-
phi, with a benefit for Master FLOYD the graceful
Ethiopian disciple of Terpsichore, and he acquitted
himself to the marked satisfaction of a crowded

to remain in the city longer, were forced to leave

in Richmond tonight. They will return 10 this
city in the fall, bringing Master Floyd with them.
RoBBERy.-The wife Of Richard Golding, while
under the influence of liquor on Tuesday night,
conveyed from the house of her husband a small
box belonging to him, containing $50 in gold, and
lot of jewelry, To the house of a free negrcss
named Emeline Shaw, where she remained during
the night. On yesterday morning, her husband
discovered her whereabouts and found the box with
the jewelry, but the money gone. An arrest
was made of Emeline Shaw and another negroes,

At meeting Of committees from the Boards of
Directors of the Auburn and Syracuse, and Auburn
and Rochester Railroad companies, held at syria
ON the 22d instant, it was resolved to apply to
the Legislature consolidate the stock Of the two
companies, forming new corporation by the name
of the CHICHESTER and Syracuse Railroad Com
pany," with power 10 construct a branch line or
second track the canal route, to run through
Port Byron, Mentz, Savannah, Galen, Tyre, Ar
cadia, and Pamyra-connecting at Victor. This
will give railroad facilities to all the important vii
lagos the canal between Rochester and Syracuse.
The Syracuse Star says:
''The committee consisted of the Hon. William
A. Sackett, of Seneca Falls; Asa Sprague of Ro-
chester; +. p. Williams, and Il. Y Howe, esqs., of
Auburn, and another gentleman whose name we
did not learn. Mr.. Howe, alone, was opposed to
the measure, and for the that in order to
compete with the New York and Erie road they
would be obliged to lower the fare ON this line,
which could not be done if they were compelled to
expend another million on the new road contenl-
plated from Syracuse to Rochester, view which
seems very plausible But, on the part of the ma
jority, it was contended that the New York and
Erie road could not compete at present prices since
they must raise their fare continue lose money;
and that the travel both roads from this city to
Rochester would be more than sufficient to meet
every outlay, the travel increasing in proportion
the facilities-which also seems very plausible
ground.
