LETTER FROM HON. JOHN W. ELLIS.

LETTER FROM HON. JOHN W. ELLIS.
The reader will find below a letter from Judge
Ellis addressed to the Editor of this Journal in which
he withdraws his name from among those who have
been spoken of as likely to be nominated by the
Democratic party for Governor.
The numerous friends of Judge Ellis, in all por-
tons of the State will, know, regret as we do
this determination his part. He has and justly,
strong hold upon the affections Of the Democracy,
and at the same time the entire respect and conf
dence of the opposite party. Elevated at an early
age to the bench, he has sustained himself from the
commencement of his duties with marked ability,
dispensing justice with firm but not unmerciful
band and winning upon AL by the mingled dignity
and susvity of his manners. Not unmindful of the
value of popular regard and popular approval, still
he has not gone out of his almost sacred ard honor
able sphere as Judge to seek it. has he, though
an ardent ard infcxblc Democrat, permitted himself
to take undue part in political affairs on any occasion
since he has been on the bench. 1t but natural
therefore, under these, and other circumstances
which might be mentioned, that the minds of many
of the party should have been fixed upon him in con-
nexion with the distinguished post referred to-
We entertain no doubt, from our knowledge Of the
man. that his reasons for this course of nature
to entitle him to increased respect among his friends
The Democratic party, however, can boast cf many
worthy, able, and true men, both in the East and in
the West and we entertain the settled conviction
the result Of past experience as well as Of the pres
ent auspicioas condition of things-that acanddate
will be nominated by the approaching Convention
who will bear the Democratic flag in triumph through
the contest

Of canvass. In such severe test of her powers.
her performances were extremely gratifying.
1t would have required a power Of propulsion
equal to nine or ten miles an hour in still water,

ed at fair rate, as she made the distance to
the mouth Of the Potomac in seventy-three hours,
having. moreover, run out to sea eighty miles.
After the wind changed, she ran in against
strong wind from the northwest, which blew
from Wednesday night through Thursday This
performance sets at rest all doubts and obiec-
tons as to the ability Of the Ericsson to make
head against a strong wind and heavy sea- The
caloric experiment has been, therefore, signally
successful When steam was first applied to
vessels, as propelling power the average
speed attained was four miles an hour: but al
