HON. THOMAS S. FLOURNoY.

We find the subjoined communication, nomi-
mating this gentleman tor Congress, in late
number of The Richmond Wing. As regards the
feelings Of his District we happen TO know what
the writer states to be correct viz that there is
n universal feeling among the Wings that he shall
be their standard bearer during the canvass, and
we hope that he will feel himself justified IN wal
wing the formahy Of a convention and taking the
field at once. We know, and we may therefore
be excused for saying IT, that if there be any 9TH
cr aspirant IN the Dlstlict who desires to become
the nominee Of the Wing party, Mr.. fIournoy
would be the last to thrust himself ofciously for
ward 10 prevent such nomination, for he desires
above all things the union OF his party, But a,
the same time we are convinced there Is no such
aspirant and that every Voice in the District is
ready 10 proclaim him their champion, He
may, however, desire some more formal declara-
ton of their wishes on this subject than be has
yet had but we should suppose call upon him
from The different counties, through the papers,
would be quite sufficient. We sincerely hope he
may be induced "to take The field" at early
day, aud if he do we have not the slightest doub,
of his election, in which event few districts will
be able To boast a more gallant, faithful, aud eff
cient representative than he has proved himself to
be.
I'll is time that it should he known, who to be the
candidates in the respective Cnnorfsslona Districts At
the coming spring election. As regards the Third Dis
tdct her seens t, be hn' op,uin Is the mi
versal expectation AID wish fhll Mr.. Furnny will be
the champion # he WIG party, and the Union. His

DEATH FROM DRUNKENNESS.

4 lad named Mavs-an apprentice IN the es'
Enlistment of the MesSrs. Diugud-was found
de ad IN his bed on Christmas morning. On in
curing into the cause of the death, it was ascer-
ained that on the evening before rnm seller
bv the name OF Wood had sold the lad quanti-
" IF liquor which he drank at one draught He
was soon completely intoxicated and in this
state OF utter senselessneSs was privately convey
ed to his bed by his fellow apprentices who were
DESTROYS TO conceal the knowledge of his condi-
ton from their employers little dreaming, how
ever, that they were bearing him to the bed Of
death
1t gives us pain TO record such an occur
renee in this community, and in doing ii we find
some difficulty in restraining the pen from the
merted caStigation which the couduct of the
rum-scler provobes. |; is sometimes better,
however, to leave the contemplation of such a
deed 10 the silent but stern montons of con-
science which if it be not seered must prove a
tormentlng companion constantly holding up 10
the agonized view of the poSseSSor the ill-gained
dime which is thus crusted GER with the
blood OF the murdered apprentice and bstered
with the tears of his bereaved friends.

DIFFICULTY WITH AUSTRIA.

A rumour has found lis way into the papers
that serious difficulty had arisen in The diplo-
matte relations between this government and
Austria, growing out OF the sympathy which was
manifested by our Government and its citizens
for the patriotic lIungarians in their late struggle
We infer from the following paragraph in the
Baltimore PATRON that the matter is likely to be
adjusted

SUDDEN DEATH OF MAJOR RUDp.-We are
panied to learn that Major Thomas Rudd an es-
teemed and highly respectable citizen of Apo

Sunday morning last after partaking of hearty

this county in the Legislature, has been the
High Sheriff of this and of Appomaiox counties,

Mail RoBBERY.-.On the arrival of the packet
boa, on Saturday evening last, negro man be-
longing to Mr.. Richard Morriss, becoming impa-
tent TO hear the news, laid violent hands upon
one of the U. s. mail pouches with which he al
tempted to make his escape. He was Fortunate
pouch was recovered which, on examination, was
discovered to contain nothing but newspapers and
few nn'mportant letters. The negro is now in
custody but we understand the law OF Congress
makes no provision for the Punishment of such
offences in the case of slaves. 1t is generally
supposed the negro was the mere catspaw Of some
worse white man.

CONGRESS AND THE LEGIsLATI7RT

Neither Congress, nor the Legislature of Vir.
GINA, has been regularly in session since our last
Issue, both bodies having taken recess durin,
the holidays. Now however we may expect
them both to do speedily what their heads find
TO do.
~ They have steam hens in England for
halching chickens, but the poultry thus intro
duced into the world Is said TO be ornithoopi
cally inferior to those ncubat d IN the old way
The Matching apparatus is defective somewhere.
We suppose the next invention will be a paten,
hen for laying eggs. We have already an ar.
count Of a patent hen-nest by which the ma.
ural hen is made to Law herself all away. It is
contrived that after the egg is laid it sin.
throug the nest by means of secret spring
and the hen turning to behold her plize before
cacking, finds no egg there, and supposing her
sell mistaken, she goes 10 laying again and this
operation is repeated until she lays herself out
in eggs.
New MAIL ADMINISTRATIVE understand
the schedule Of the mail arrangement between
this place and Charlottesville has been altered SO
as to require the Northern Mail, which formerly
"'i'N'u h'it WI .hoHduY tNth'HSt W w uut
Taesaay evening. The other days for the arli
val and departure of the Charlottesville mail re-
main unchanged.
We are at loss 10 conjecture the reason for
the change noted, which every business man in
this community must regret Under The old ar.
rangement Lynclbnrg had daily northern mail
BY reason of the Richmond and Charlottesville
mail arriving on different days, but now they
both fall together ION Tuesday, aud one or the
other is almost useless. We venture to saw
there is no town in the United States of the size
and trade OF Lynchburg as destitute, as it is, Of
mail facilities, and what small advantages VIC had
acquired by means Of little management in the
arrangement OF the mails are thus to be lost bv
this new arrangement We have rod in pickle
for somebody.

SUGGESTS which are consoling and important 1t
shows
1t The ability Of Southern States, not"itf-
standing their sparseness of population 70 build
railroads
2adv. The capacity of the State to sustain
them probably;
3dly, The creative power Of railroads III Peo-
plino the desert with an active, industrious popu-
la,on TO WHY the dropping energies and devei-
opc the hidden treasures OF the State and
4hly. The wisdom Of steady systematic and
well dlgested plan Of internal improvement by a
State.
These are uiiiul themes suggestive OF much
reflection, and we invite the reader, especi-
ally if he be opposed 10 railroads, to consider
them calmly but earnestly. What Georgia has
done for herself Virginia, greater than she III all
the elements of wealth, may more than do for
her own sons There is one other truth that
these statistics show and that is that long roads
ol,cays pay good profits; and if they be rcmu-
neratve on the Georgia roads, what may we not
expect them TO become on the Virginia and Ten
