.--.-..sDSTAUNTON:-
"WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER II. 1854.
Election of Governor.

The time and place Tor holding the Democrat
10 Convention TO nominate State ticket are sun
undetermined. although many counties have APP
pointed delegates The Richmond Enquirer has
declared in favor uf Stanton as she place, and
tbe Goth of November as the time but other pa
uers appear to be awaiting the action OF the State
Central Committee. We should be pleased for
The Convention to meet here, aud have no doubt
that our citizens of all parties will extend to the
delegates a cordial hospitality.
In the meantime the canvass among the friends
Of the various aspiran,s for I've office of Governor
is briskly going on. A few weeks ago. we en-
ter,ained the opinion, from the indications ct pop
.,,lsr sentiment which we then had. that lieu'en,
ant Governor Leake was the avor.ie candidate
with large majority of the party; but recen'ly
our opinion has undergone change. The eonn-
ties along the Eastern base OF The Bioe Ridge,
and some ofthe Valley counties, appear 10 De Ia
rorable to Leake, and he has the powerful advo-
eacy OF the Richmond ErGmiaer. The Pied
mont region is divided between LeaSe and EN-
Governor Smith. the latter seeming TO have few
or no friends elsewhere. Wise, we now think,
will prove the leading candidate. He issupPOrt-
cd BY at least portion Of tue Tide Water sec
ton: the Trans Allegheny country and Little
Tennessee are unanimously in his favor; aud in
The Valley the counties of Rockingham, High
land, Botetourt. and doubtless others, are pre-
pared 10 support him. Under these circumsian-
ces, it seems likely that, if the Convention nomi-
nate by plurality, or even majority vote, he
will be- the candidate for Governor. But as the
two-thirds rule will probably be adopted, there is
no telling the result. II may be that some man
not vet suggested will carry off the honor, or by
chance our late Extra Governor may turn up as 4
successful compromise candidate between Leake
and Wise. Should he fail Of the nomination af-
ter that $500 subscription to the Central Railroad,
il will be pity; aud who knows but that the
minister to 'the Court Of ST. James," who
nut down his name for the same amount, may be
run into the Lieu;enancy. Mr.. Stevenson is &C
kuowledged to be presiding officer Of unSurpass-
cd ability, and his onerous lsbors as President Of
innumerabe Democratic Conventions give him
strong claims upon the party. He is evidently
looking out, and we would tain hope that motives
OF delcacy will prevent his being placed in the
chair at the ensuing Convention.

ITO the Polls.

We publish in another column notice, giver
in pursuance Of resolution adopted by the Towt
Council, from which we learn that the question
"Shall Market House be erected 2" is TO be sub

Railroads.

The people Of Rockbridge held a meeting on
the 2nd inst, aud appointed large number Of
delegates to attend the Internal Improvement
Convention at Norfolk, on the 9Th Of November.
They adopted resolution in favor Of the con-
styuetion Of the Covington and Ohio Railroad on
State account; the extension Of the South Side
Railroad by the valley of the James River and
its tributaries, to the Eastern terminus of the
Covington and Ohio Railroad and the extension
Of the Manassas Cap Railroad, TO connect with the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad at OF near Sa-
lem.
The route Of the proposed connection between
Lyuchburg and CoyingtOn is probably very
good one but it is question how far it will be tC
the interest of the State to construct Railroad
immediately by the side Of the James River Ca
nal, throughout the whole line. The scheme
originated with the people Of the South Side, who
seem determined to leave no means untried 10
break down the Central Railroad, even though in
order to do so they must destroy the Canal, upon
which SO much money has Leen expended. As
tne Time LOT Tue Injecting VI tue ~NOIlOIh COHFeH-
lion approaches, the South Side men are becom-
ing furious in their assaults upon the Central
Road. A writer in the Norfolk Beacon describes
it as 'a wormy, rickelty thing, that has progress
ed at the rate of some two or three miles year,
besides making other filings equally spiteful and
unjustihable. The Richmond Post replies al
great length TO this writer, and shows that the
receipts of the Central Railroad, 'ricketty" as il
is, for the month of August last, amounted tC
S53 ,02996; and for five days, from 25th to the
29th September, to 81 ,0l2.l5, exclusive Of mai
transportation. "What sort of patriot can he be, ,
says the Post, ''who sets his face against such g
road? A few weeks ago the Virginia and Ten
neSsee Railroad announced with an immense
flourish of trumpets that they had received $751;
900 in one month! The Central Railroad, with
cut any flourish at all, received half as much in
five days. Do not these facts prove the enormous
superiority of this road over the great South-Side
pet, upon which the State has layshed its treas
ures with 50 much profusiOn 2"

The ASrfc uItural Fair.

We publish in this paper, by request, a COM
munication from Gen. Richardson, which appear
ed in the Richmond Whig, in April last. As is
known by our readers, Gen. r. was the agent Of
the State Agricultural Society last year, aud 10
his Jealous and efficient exerIons the Society is
mainly indebted for the success of the first annual
exhibition. In this connection we may state that
the next Fair will open on Tuesday, the 3lst
inst, and continue four days. Among the Judges
appointed to award premiums in the various de-
parimens are the following gentlemen of this
county: q. b. Stuart, j. NJ McCue, NJ G. Har-

COra,

A friend informs us that he shot one of these
delightful birds, while on cunning expedition q
few days ago, and that several have been killed
this season by othsr persons. We do not recol-
lect that Sora have ever made their appear
ance before in this section Of country. They are
remarkable, not only for the delicious eating
which they afford, but for their sudden appear
ance, in large numbers, at the beginning of the
Summer, and their equally sudden disappearance
at the close Of the season. Where 'they come
from, and where they go to, is question we be-
lieve not yet satisfactorily determined.

In BRowNsoS AGAIN.-The last number oil
Brownson's Review has another article on the
subject of Native Americanism, in defence OF the
former. which was so violently assaed. This
publication is the leading organ Of the Roman
Catholic Church, and surprised every body few
months ago, it will be remembered, by an artl-
Gle TO some extent in favor flhe Know -Nothlngs

he is in favor of extending the rights OF nauraIl-

considering the danger from them both TO our
country and our religion, considering that the
Catholic emigration is diminishing and will most
likely cease before many years altogether, we
threw out by the way suggestion, that 1t might
become question with Catholics, whether 1t
would not be well for them that is, in the case
of future Catholic emigrants, 10 forego the prvi-
lege OF naturalization if by 50 doing they could
prevent those non-Calholic emigrants, from being
naiuralized"

Tho Markets

Notwithstanding the argument of Mr.. VIII
bughby Newton, to prove that the price of flour
ought 10 go up. it has continued to go down, or,
at least, 10 remain stationary. The report of the
Richmond Market, on Friday, says: "Since our
last weekly report Flour has been very dull, and
sales for shipment (not very large, however. have
been made this week at 81. Holders generally
ask more. BY the dray load, for home cOnsump-
ZION, sales of Superfne at $3.50; Extra E75;

Virginia Central Railroad,

The receipts of the Virginia Central Railroad
Company, during the month of August last, a.
mounted to upwards of $4,000, a very conside-
rable increase over the receipts during the same
month last year. Of this amount upwards Of
$4,000 was for passenger fare. In five days,
from the 18th to the 29th of September, inclusive,
the receipts for passenger fare was $3,323.2l ;
for freight, $3,639,S2; Express freight, $49.02,
making the snug little total of S,Ol2.l5, trans
portation of mail not included. These figures are
certainly encouraging.
