THE MEETING IN CAMPBELL.
CANrnEIL CnI.Rr llnrsE

wv wv W iip'" ~" .N''s -
T" M, Editors cr The Enquirer:
Gcntemcn-In the daily issue of the
"Lynchburg Republican of the Goth Noy'r,
there appears an editorial containing some ami
madvcrSions upon communication recently
published in the Enquirer under the caption Of
"YoN II nds monaged IN CdmpbeH" In that
communication, it was alleged that the rcsol,l.
tions of the Campbell meeting were 'concoct-
ed in the City of Lynchburg. and brought here
cut and dried, lin his pocket by an editor ac-
companicd by Others"
This allegation the editor of the Republican
controverts, by denying that the resolutions
were drawn by him. IA fact which was not as
Sertedl and that they were not conveyed from
Lynchburg to the Court House in his pocket.
The statement, however, is virtually admitted,
for it evidently appears from the article in the
"Repuhlican," that the resolutions were con-
cocted and drawn in Lynchburg. that they
were brought here cut and dried. and that they
were first announced to the meeting by the
Editor Of the Republican
We admit. if it is considered pertinent or
important to the issue. that they did not cina-
rate from the pocket of the Editor, but from
that of his associate to whom he refers. 1t is
true. aS is alleged by the Republican" that
public notice was given of meeting for the
appointment Of delegates--a plain matter-of-
fact business. involving no controversy; which
could be disposed Of as well by dozen as by a
hundred. But there was no notice. nor 81 far
Us we can learn, was it ever conjectured by the
Democrats of the county that any instruction
in behalf Of Mr.. Letcher. or any other gentle
man was to be submitted to the meeting.
We may have been miSinforlned as to the
majority by which the resolution of instruction
was passed; certain il is. however. that when
the ayes were called for, there was vociferous
response from the editor of the Republican.
and Il small portion of the audience, the rest
remaining silent; that majority of those pre-
sent did not respond to the call, either for ayes
or noes. and that no division was demanded
But the object Of the communication TO the
Enquirer was to show that the resolutions OF
the Campbell meeting did not properly reflect
the sense Of the Democracy Of Campbell. and
that the meeting had no legitimate authority to
speak in their hehalf. This meeting was COM
posed of about twenty Democrats casually

THE SLAVE CASE AT NEW YORK.

The trial of three of the crew Of the SLAYER
Haidee. which has been going on i'll the United
States Circuit Court for several days past, was
concluded on Monday. In order to convict the
prisoners it was necessary for the prosecution
to prove that they were of the crew of Il vessel
owned in whole OF in part by. or nayigated for
citizen of the United States. 1t was proved
to the satisfaction of the jury that the Haidee
did not come within the provisions Of the stat
ute. she having been sold by her American
owner. and the accused were, therefore acquitt'
ed They are, however, still retained in prison
to answer other charges.

HARMONY AT PETERSBURG.

The Examiner" after doing all in its power
to perpctuate disScnSions, by espousing the
cause Of Mr. lctchcr against every other Demo
crat, now comes out for h0r0ony, and hopes that
Mr. Letcher's friends will not use one word
OF indignity towards Mc>sr>. Faulkner, Ed
mundSon and Brockenbrough, and any other
probable candidates" Now, Mr.. Lctchcr' S
friends cannot find zone word of indignity :"
against any of the gentlemen named They
have records without >po, or hlcmish; and this
call, for no word of indignitv.' is useless
No word of indignity" exists against any oi
of them likely to be candidates.

An examination of the above exhibit of re
cciptS and expenditures, will show that 5000. 00t
of the net earnings Of the road have been ap
propriated to its construction, and that the total
indebtedness Of the company amounts 1t
$l,6+4. .6l?.50.
In the report OF the previous year. tn,
Board proposed to commence on the Isl
day Of July lSjs, TO set apart annually
100000 as Sinking Fund and made a
calculation To show that il the same sum
be so set apart each year until 1880, that
il will pay or the two small mortgage debts
amounting To- 5000. 500 and all the dividend
bonds amounting to $2+7,190. Accordingly
the Board bought on the lst of July last. mort
gagged bonds to the amount Of $4,000 The re-
port says that
III on the first day of July. 1864, ali addi-
tional sinking fund Of S25.OOo is commenced,
and rc-invcStcd only once in twelve months, il
will cxtnguish the remaining mortgage debt OF
one million of dollars by the lst day Of July,
1854. when it falls due, as will appear by the
following calculation, viz:
The Board is of opinion that if the policy
they recommend is pursued. there will he no
difficulty in commencing hy the lSt of July,
1864. to lay by the additional sinking fund OF
$4,000 Before the year 1864, the Covington
and Ohio road will probably be in operation,
at least rs far as the White Sulphur Springs,
when net revenue of S350.000 may hc eX-
pccted. That sum. if'~alised, will be suiii-
cient to pay the interest on $1,000, 900, set
apart the proposed S4j, 600 for n sinking fund.
and leave SlSl ZOO Out of this balance it is
not unreasonable to calculate OH making at
least per cent, perhaps per cent. dividends,
which will still leave Il liberal allowance for de-
probation and contingent liabilities.
The present amount Of capital stock paid in
is 81, l22. 9G1 92. as per the TrcaSurcr's state
ment.
With a gross revenue of $G00.000, t per
per cent. dividends may he paid, set apart
$2o, 900 annually for sinking fund, pay intc-
rest on present debt, and leave an ample con-
tingcnt fund to cover depreciation; and with
100000 gross revenue. all charges can hc
paid, including interest on debt. if increased to
81, 600. 600, set apart S45,000 for a sinking
fund annually, pay dividend of AT least per
cent per annuin. and have an ample contin-
gent fund
THE company owes Il small floating debt.
less than Sl0O, 600. for which the Board think
it is not necessary to make any special provi-
sion, as il consists mainly Of sums which have
been deposited on loan by request of the Gre
ditor and if withdrawn. from the experience
Of several years past, all equal sum will hc de-
posted.
The Board thinks it prudent not to begin
with dividend of more than ! per cent per
unnum, payable semi-annually. which may he
increased as the revenues will justify. and that
the month Of April, 1859. will fe ""n'enlent
time to commence.

| the number did not exceed twenty-five One of
the resolutions provided for the appointment of
.ffy delegates to represent the county in Con-
vention. These gentlemen, it was fair to pre-
sumo, were TO he selected from the different
parts of the county, with view to their intel
ligence and knowledge Of the wishes and opin-
ions of the people in their respective neighbor-
, hoods, and to fair and faithful representation
Of the whole county. And when the rcsolu-
tion in favor Of Mr. Letchcr was announced TO
the meeting, Edwin R. Page, who happened to
'e present, earnestly opposed it, and among
.:her pertinent objections urged by him, he
suggested the manifest impropricty and inus-
tice of such meeting undertaking to bind
such delegation by Instructions
These facts cannot and, we are sure, will not
bc denied by the "kepublican" We do not
know if the meeting in Campbell, and its pro-
cecdings, be fair specimen of those in the
State, generally, which have recommended
Mr.. Letcher; il this be so they may serve
to show that gcntlenan's strength with
the politicians, but not with the people.
We know that the editor Of the Republican is
very widely mistaken in his estimate of the
partiality Of the Democracy Of Campbell for
Mr.. Letchcr, but whatever their preference may
be, We do maintain that the resolutions of the
Campbell meeting afford no indication of it
whatever
We take no notirc Of the reference made by
the editor Of the Republican to " Struggling
Democrats, (prcsunlng that it was made with
out proper information,J further than to advise
him to be more particular in such illusions III

meaning precisely, but if in the terms >trag-

and We take the liberty Of informing him. if
he was not aware of the fact before, that large
majority Of the Democrats Of Campbell county
