Extract Of a Letter from 1Niltard Fillmore.
Il have read it Merchants Magazine) with
good deal of attention. and have no hcsita
ton in saying that think it one of the most
valuable periodicals that was ever published.
TO the merchant it seems quite indispensable,
and to the statesman and man of general in
formation almost equally desirable. 1t is
grand repository of useful facts and informa-
ton, which can be found nowhere so well di-
gested and so accessible as in these numbers.

Brown OF Indiana.

The appointment OF the Hon. WIN. J. BROWN,
hate member of Congress from Indiana, as Special
Mail Agent for the States of Indiana and Illinois,
has brought up some Of the antecedents oil lha'
gentleman. He is the individual who acquired
an unenviabe uotoriety few years ago, when on
tho point of being elected Speaker of the House OF
Representatives., by the discovery of secret bar
cain which he had contracted with the abolition
;sts in reference to the organization Of the Com
mistees. To show the opinion entertained OF him
bv the party. after the .denouement, we copy
from an exchange the following passage from the
Norfolk .argus of the 10Th December, 1919 =
"His GBRowx's trickery aud collision with the
Free Soil faction was publicly exposed IN the
presence of the nations representatives, aud he
now staSas before tho world convicted and DOOM
ed man-deserying the contempt and scorn OF ev-
cry honest mind" As soon as Mr. BROWN 5
term expired, he retired from Congress aud has
lived ever since in meritedUbscurity but General
PIERcE has hunted him up, and, of all the men
in Illinois and Indiana, selected him for lucra-
tive and responsible office.

At the recent election in the Butetourt and
Greoubrier Judicial Circuit, to fill the vacancy
occasoued by the death of Judge JOHNSTON, ROB
ERr NJ HupsoN, Esq, ofthe. former county, was
elected, by majority of about $50 to goo over

Mr. HUpsoN is a-natve of this county. having
Stanton, and studied law with the late Judge
BALDWIN The Le,csbuug Chronicle says the
Democrats of Monroe supported him upon party
grounds. which induced the Wings of that county
to vote Tor Mr.. ANDERSON. as the most likely to
be elected of any Wing in the field. In Botetourt
and Crag,a close party vote was given; the paS-
ley Whig says nearly all the party leaders were
busy on the day of election.

Terminus of the Central Railroad.

The LEGISLATION on the subject last Winter, IL
was supposed, had sufficiently settled tha' the
Western terminus of-the Central Railroad, and OF
the Canal for the present, should be at HAYNE
Farm. on Jacksou's River; and under authority
Of the late Board of Public Works, Mr. SHAW
the Engineer of the Covington and Ohio Ra'lroad'
had advertised the letting of the Railroad on State
account from HAYNE's Farm to Coglngton'-near
twelve miles of very heavy work. The new
Board. however. has changed all this "a proPo-
siton from the city OF CoTingtOn has carried, re-
curing the Eastern terminus Of the State Railroad
10 be fixed at Coyington, and by consequence
throwing upon the Central Railroad the cost (sone
5000. 0OO,) of constructing the additional twelve
miles of Railroad from HAYNES Farm; and con-
formulating also the extension of the Canal to Cow
iuyton at an enormous cost. The result Of this
action Of the Board will be, either TO leave gap
Of twelve miles in the Railroad to the Ohio River,
or otherwise, to require the State to- pay three
tfhs of the cost of Railroad, and the entire COS
Of the Canal, and have these two mproyemen ts
for that distance running side by side-to benefit
few property holders in Covington.

The Commencement exercises of Washington

ID. FisHBURN of Augusta, j. NEwroN CRAIG Of
Pocahontas, J. IMBopEN of Rockbridge, and j.
NJ. GoUL of Rockbridgc The TaIley Star says
The speeches were generally of an order to do
credit to the College and the speakers. They
were marked by good sense and an absence OF any
thing like rant or fustian; bearing much more OF
manly stamp than is frequently the case with
graduating speeches. The Salutatory being en-
trely in Latin was Rot,capableof full apprecia-
tim by the audience. We understood MIR. Davis
however to be pitching into" the Trustees with
considerable vigor, an operation which they bore
with unaccountable philosophy and composure-
Mr.. Masse's address possessed the marks OF a
strong and well trained mind. to which the discip-
line of mathematics had lent the power of proving
itself inferior to classical learning He discussed
the comparative advantages Of mathematical and
classical studies and gave the palm to the latter.
| Mr. Fishburn chose as his text the maxim, Ode
spise not the day of small hiags,' and upon it he
built discourse characterized by 4 practical wis
dom surprising in one of his years. Mr.. Craig's
! theme was ''the restlessness of the human mind
We unfortunately missed a part of this speech,
but heard enough to convince us of its excellence
We were much pleased with the matter OF it, and
especially with the style of delivery. Mr.. limbo

address was of very respectable character. The

or common place He discussed ''the right of the
Colleges of the State to portion of the Literary

On Thursday afternoon, the Society of Alumni
was addressed by the Rev Beverly Il. Lacy, of

! Lacy is well known to our citizens asa speaker
of great ability and polish, and his present effort

The Commencement of the Military Institute
came off on the 9TH instant The Declaration Of
Independence was read by Cadet, and addresses
were delivered by several members of the gradu-
ating class. Col. F. II. SMITH presented the di-
plomas to the graduates, twenty-five in number,
and the ceremonies were concluded by brief ad-
dress from JAMES BARBOUR, Esq, Of Culpcper,
