10 The Editors of The Times -.
WeSSrs. Editors: 1t is rumored in the county
that our present worthy representative, Col.
VIM. B. Payne, has said to some of his friends
that he does not desire to be again candidate
for reelection. We hope that is not true; bat
that lie will consent to serve us again. We be-
lleve it is the desire of the entire Wing party of
the county, and of very many Democrats, that
Col. Payne should again serve us-for it is agreed,
on all sides. that he has made most faithful
representative. His votes on the subject of In
ternal Improvements, meet the hearty approba
ton of his constituents While large majority
OF the Legislature have voted extrayaganty, as
we think, for railroads, &c, we are proud to
see, by the votes given, that our delegate hns
stood firm against each and every one. For this,
as all other of his Legislative acts, he will re.
ceive the plaudit of his constituents, swell done.
good and faithful servant We hope Col. Payne
will not come to tho determination to decline. Mt
least till he returns to the county, after the ad
Journment of the General Assembly-and again
we repeat, that we trust he will agree to be a
candidare. We do not believe there would be
any opposition, were he candidate-indeed it
would be useless for any Democrat to run against
him. MANY VOTERS OF FLUVANNA.

ANOTHER CHARGE AGAINST MoNRoE.-Alberf
Monroe, of Rockets, again brought up from
jail yesterday to answer another charge lodged
against him before the Mayor. The reader wilt
recollect he already stood harged with stealing
wood and pig iron from the wharves and had
been sent for trial for the commission of tn ose
offences. Yesterday he was arraigned upon the
charge of casting large quantity of pig iron
consigned to Messrs. Anderson & Souther, of the
Tfedegar works. into the river, where he pur-
posed letting it remain until safety and convent
ence served. Then he would fish it up and sell
it. Mr.. Jas. Atkinson swore to the fact that he
saw the prisoner pitch some of the metal into
the river, short time since, and Mr.. l.. B. Hill
Tin the employment of Messsrs Anderson &
Souther,) identified large parcel of it, which
had been fshed up. The Mayor sent the case
on for examination before the Hastings Court. --
The stolen iron being valued at about $40, the
prisoner may run the risque of spending a year or
two with Col. Morgan, provided it shall be proven
that he actually stole it.

that house has been constructed near Fishkif,
the walls of which are of prepared gravel. A

forty hve teet long, twenty five feet wide, and
twenty one might've stories and half. The
materials OF which the walls are made are com
pounded of eight bushels of slaked lime, sixteen
bushels OF sand, and six bushels of fine and coarse
gravel. This wall has stood summer heats and
winter frosts, and is getting harder and better
very day. When stone, wood, and brick are
nigh, this is considered very economical mate
