Summer and the va. aad Tenn.
Nail Road,


A statement has been quietly circulating
IN our community, for some days. that GER
tain high officers in the Virginia end Ten
nessee Railroad Company have expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Summers is hostile to
our Railroad. We have been watching
the progress and growth Of this most ipju-
rious aad uniounded rumor,with the intcn-
ton of giving aquictus to 1.-THE 6rstsuitable
opportunity. We have now the amplest
means Of doing SO. The Abingdon VIZ
ginian. Of November lst., gives sketch OF
a speech. made by Mr.. Summers in that
place. the Monday previous. from which
we make the following extract;

Charles james Faulkner, Esq.

As the extraordinary Triumph OF tins
gentleman, over his anti-compromise and
secession opponent, has attracted much
public attention, and as some doubts arc
Linsinuated in the Democratic Press, as to
his party belongings, we give brief
sketch of the man, and bis political opin-
ions, furnished by the Virginia Herald,
whose editor was but recently citizen of
his district.
This gentleman says the Herald, has
been elected TO represent the Tenth Con-
gressional District, ovcra late representa-
tive, the Hon Henry Bedinger. The Dis
trict was always strongly Democratic, and
the triumph of Mr. Faulkner is all the great
err. The main issue Of Mr.. F.was "Un-
ion and the Compromise" and CALAMITY
has he come up out Of the contest. Plant
ing himself upon the platform Of Mr.. Fill
more's Administration, we conceive the
triumph as indicative of the confidence and
approval by the people of the Tenth Dis
trict, ofthat Administration.
Mr.. Faulkner will prove himself host
when hc cspouses, as he will do, the de-
fence of the Administration. Possessed of
a most vigorous mind-an untiring genius
"a never tagging intelect-wiih the pol
ish of refined education-his will be a
support which must tell with effect in the
councils of the nation. We doubt indeed
if Mr.. Faulkner, is not equal to any man in
Virginia, in all those essentials necessary
to make great, distinguished parsonage;
and that he has not been widely known is
ascribed 10 the fact that he has devoted
himself more to the practice Of law than
politics.
We have always understood that the
paternity of the Fugitive Slave Law, in
troduced by Senator Mason, was due to
him, and it is quite certain that the call of
the recent Reform Convention, was owing
in very great measure TO the efforts, in
speeches and communications, emanating
from him.
We congratulate the Administration up
on the election of so powerful an advocate
so ski!lful and ready debater-a cham
pion of which his District and State may
he prond.
Mr.. Faulkner has served in the Senate
Of Virginia, frequently represented Berke-
ley in the House of Delegates, and was
member of the late Convention to amend
the Constitution of tire State.
In this connection we must be permitted
to say, wha; We said before the election,
that we did not consider Mr.. Bedinger as
being inmical to the union of the States.-
We heard him in public, we have con-
versed with him 10 private, and we always
left him with the impression that he was
for the Union, although he sustained the
right of peaccablc secession
