WASHINGTON COUNTY. Our esteemed cotem-
porafy of the Abingdon virginian gives the
most encouraging account of matters in that
county and district. "Sam's" family, he snys.
in Washington county already number 1900
votes, and the American candidates. Preston and
Fields will, he thinks, be elected as certainly "a
that the Sun will rise election day The Amer.
candidate for the Senate. he believes, will beat
his competitor in every county of the District.
Of the Congressional District the yircinian
says:
I'VE don't know whether SAM is strong
enough 10 beatGi0 Nc Mulhn in this District or
not-but we know that even his own party are
tired of him-nnd we have been informed TINT
his own county will roll up n majority against
'lm' ana THERE'S nothing surer. we presume than
-thet Russell, Washington, Smyth and Wythe
will all give majorities again It HIM, and some of
them large. From information before us. Taze-
well Is the only county where he can get nny-
thing like majority, aud even there we have
been told ii will fall below the expectations of his
friends"
And of Wise's chances, there and elsewhere,
the Nirginian remarks:
"A great and overwhelming revolution il
sweeping over the country. ..Revolutions. "itis
said, never go backward" In Virginia, il has
almost entirely obliterated old party lines. The
wave has +. aohed the mountains, and washed the
sand oot OF the eyes of the people. With the
opposition Mr.. Wise has, it is utterly mpossihlo
Tor him to succeed. He cannot stand up against
opposition within and without his own party
II" cannot win the race with Gen. Bavly tripping
him up at this corner Bowden Knocking him
down at that. Extra Billy hedging up his way at
third Nat Claiborne digging pit.fall for him
at fourth all the time sweating and painting
WI with his associate renegades' dashed to his back
The indications are that he will be beaten Oh ooo

The Bedford Dietitct

We invite the attention of readers in the
sixth District to the address of DIR. Lyon. He
plants himself boldly upon the American plat
form. aud avows his determination TO support the
Winchester nominees for the State Offices This
should be satisfactory not only TO every Ameri-
can, but to every Wing in the District Nor
should it preclude Democrats from his support
for upon the old questions that have divided par
ties, but are now for the most part settled or
abandoned, DR.. l.. dsavows any change of SEN
.iment aud of the five American candidates, in
Gliding himself, to be voted for in that district,
four, siE: Beale, Pstios. Morris and Lyon have
been and are Democrats. Apart from these CON
alterations, and looking only to personal quaif.
cations speak with the knowledge which a
residence of two years beneath his roof affords
when we say that 30 worthier gentleman in all
the virtues and courtssies of private life, aud few
better informed on all public questions, could
claim the support Of any constituency, than Dr.
Lyon. His address presents with force and TAR.
ness the single question which it discusses. We
need not warn u people intelligent and 30
watchfnl of their liberties and rights, rs those of
the Sixth district, Of the overshadowing mpor.
tanoe of this question There was no occasion
to advert to other topics. This of itself is suff
Client TO make a people pause aud ponder.

The xdontgomeiy District

From the correspondence between the commit.
tee and himself, which we publish this morning, it
will be perceived that Mr.. Staples accepts the
nomination of the American party in the Mont
gomery District ms their candidate for Congress
and takes his stand on the platform of princ.
pies laid down by the party in the State. We
much regret that Mr. S. is prevented from enter
ing at once upon the active canvass which we
know he will prosecute, when crcu,ns stances per-
NIT him. But, detainedfor the present by obi
cations which he cannot and ought not TO disre-
gard, IT becomes the moro necessary that his
friends, and those of the great cause committed
to his hands, shall easrt themselves to prevent
injury from his absence Mr.. S is widely known
in the district, but its immense area makes him
necessarily stranger in many portions of it,
aud, with the brief intervening time. renders it
impossible that be can become acquainted before
the election. To those who do not and may not.
know him, we give our assurance that n more
gifted high-toned aud chiyalrous gentleman
does not reside in the limits of the district lie
needs but the opportunity 10 attain distinction
which would reflect credit upon those who af-
forded it to him.

The question of removing Judge Loring came
up in the Massachusetts House of Representa-
tives on Saturday morning, by assignment. The
amendment of Mr.. Ellis was first in order; and
that was rejected by vote of III to ll6 This
amendment was proviso that if Judge Iorng
should resign his position Of L. 5. Commissioner
within three days of the passage of tho address
then said address would not be presented to tho
Governor. The main question was then taken
by yeas and nays, and the address to the Cover
nor Tor the removal ofJudge Loring, was adopted
by vote of 3O7 to H., This result" saws the
Boston Traveller, "having generally been re-
garded as n toregone crncluson, excites no sur
prise. The course of the Senate is not quite SO
clear; but it is hardly to be hoped that this i'll
judged step will be arrested in that body. The
measure is wholly a vindctive one-suggested
and perseverngly carried through by party ant
| personal feelings. Reason and justice and sount
policy have been sacrificed to misguided i'm

Governor Matteson. of Illinois, has issued a
proclamation announcing the result of the last
election for members of Congress in that State.
He rules cut the election of Mr. TrumbuU, in
the 9Th district, and Mr.. Marshall in the 9th. on
the ground that those gentlemen being Judges of
the Supreme and Circuit Courts, the votes cast
for them were null and void. Instead, however.
Of ordering election in these districts the
Governor has given certificates to the candidates
who were defeated. and also TO Messrs. Trumbull
and Marshall leaving the House TO decide. As
Mr.. Trumbuil is also elected to the Senate, he
will not claim his seat in the Huose, and thu
the next, or defeated candidate will be the only
claimant.

To the Editor Of The Lynchburg Tirginian:
In the next Legislature questions will arise
deeply affecting the State at large, ond more es

South Side. The charters of our several Banks
will have to he renewed on Just and fair terms,
| or these institutions must prepare to wind up
their business. The latter alternative must in
volse the most serious consequences, and may
produce a shock TO industrial interests from
which they will require years to recover. This
Is NJ time for visionary schcmcrs to reduce the
shadows of their imagnations to realities, by at
tnchlng them TO the business of the merchant,
the farmer or the mechanic. If we may Judge
of the future by the past, the renewal of the
Bank charters will afford TO this class of expert
mental politicians "a fine opportunity to test their
theories in finance and currency; and if they
cannot be held in check by sound and practical
minds, wide spread and enduring mischief may
result. Although these evils will sooner or later
Affect every portion of the Commonwealth, il il
in the cities that the blow will be more immedi-
ately and severely felt for it is there that the
credit system is most thoroughly identified with
the business and occupations of the people. Cnp-

quae to your trade, and will have to be increased

nounce that this old, and widely known citizen of
Lynchburg has at last been gathered to his faith

Il few years spent in the South. Few men are
more distinguished in their pursuits, than the de-
ceased was in his. Bocsha has been styled the
father of the harp; so Billy may be called the
master of the fife. 1t is doubtful whether bet
ter performer on that instrument ever lived than
he was Ills reputation had extended far and
wide, and "Blind Billy was name known
throughout the State. Many the militia
ry parades, the balls, and the parties that have
been enlivened by his inspiring notes, and all
who ever heard him have hung with delight on
the sweet melody of his fife
lie WAS raised and owned by the late Dr. How
ell Davis, but obtained his freedom few years
ago by means of a subscription raised for that
purpose. by tho citizens of Lynchburg. His death
will be a serious loss to our musical resources,
and one that will scarcely ever be filled AS it was
by him.
