TO@the Magistrates of Virginia.
1t is notorious that many parts of the
State, especially where there are numsr-
Gus slaves, have been infested for many
months past by travelling yankees, under
the pretence Of being pedlers Of Irish lin
en-, oil cloths, window curtains, .quack
medicines, flea powders, rat powders,
corn ointment, apple tree grafters, &C.,
&C., and in many cases, if their whole
stock could be sold in one day, The pro-
ceeds would not furnish weeks support.
Besides these, there are many travelling
families of yankees, calling themselves
gipsies, fortune tellers, and horse traders,
who live by thieving aud illicit trade
with slaves. All these suspicious charac-
ters 60 among the slaves, associate with
them, and in some cases, the slaves have
told that they have been advised by them
to rebel. Now, it is your duty to stop
every one Of them and bind them in re-
cognizance with good security to appear
at the next grand jury court, to answer
an Indictment, and in default of giving
such security, to commit them to Jail. A
neglect OF this duty will compel orderly,
good, honest, law abiding citizens to ap<
peal TO the higher court of Judge Lynch
for their own protection against these di.
abolical characters, fends in human,
shape, who are plotting your destruction.

l. Opposition 10 A. G.. Jenkins, esq,
we are pleased to learn that there are
aAnumber of distinguished e Americans' b
who are willing to take the field in oppo.
siti6n to Mr.. jenkins, provided they are

hope the tKao 70 lY0thing party OF the Dis

some one of them into the field. We

good time for him to test has strength,

we, think, it ingratitude, to say the least

We hope, sincerely that heemay Hbe7pre.
vailed upon by his aKnow-N othing brsths

the Republican the propriety of conyok-
ing a Convention composed OF all the
Americans in the District, and all others
who 3 voted for Mr.. Garlic at the last
election, and, let him be- nominated by
acclamation," and we think it probable
he might, after demonstration so pow
erful and imposing, consent to become
candidate. Mr.. Garlic is modest man,
and don't like to obtrude himself upon
the District Let the" Americans" call
him, and let him come forth in the ma
jesty of his strength. We ant'him'eall-
ed, and we want him to come forth with
the mutilated banner of Know>Nothing-
ism in his hands. Let his KnosO-Noth-
ing friends call him at once, call him, all
over the District, call him early" and
call him "late." call him long and loud,
and keep calling him until he answers to
the call. Don't let modest man retire
to the shades of private life, for the want
of calling. Patriotism and duty requires
that his Kuow-Nothing friends should
thus "call'' him. Will they do it? We
hope so. I
But if he be thus " called" and still
refuse to come, we hope those other eds

them, will be " called" lin such man
ner, that they, or one of them, may be in

will present us with foeman worthy o.

We have no fears OF the result Mr.
jenkins, the nominee of the Democratic
party, is young, talented and energetic
that we have no fears but upon the hus

SPEED ON RA1LwArs.-The policy Of
running railway trains at high rate Of
speed is being seriously discussed by the
railroad men. The Virginia Board Of
Public Works has recommended to rail-
road companies in that State "to adopt
regulations for such rates of speed as will
eventually diminish the cost of repairs
and furnish greater security for passen-
gers" In accordance with this sugges-
ton, the directors of the Virginia Central
Railroad Company have passed resolu-
ton looking to reduction Of speed. The
railroad commissioners of New York state
a speed of forty miles per hour causes an
Increase Of fifty per cent. Of expense over
a speed of twenty miles. The magnitude
Of the interests related to this subject in
vest it with much Importance. Indepen>
dent of any increased proits to be derived
from reducing the rate of speed, the d.
minished risk of accident to passengers is
worthy of consideration.
