Correspondence Of tie Aierandria Ga=ettc.
Shiloh, KING GEORGE Co., VA, June S.
The result Of tie King George County cleo
ton has already been announced through
the columns of the Gazette. An error, how
ever, occurred in the report Of the Shcrf's
poll; it should have been, Jones, 300; Potts,
1913. The aggregate vote for Sheriff is much
smaller than that cast for most OF the other
officers, owing to the high standing and per-
sonal popularity of the two candidates. -
Many of the voters being warm personal
friends Of both gentlemen, refused TO dis
criminate in the election. The canvass was
unusually animated, and the feeling of ex-
element has not yet altogether subsidized
A contest of the election Of Sheriff is talked
about.
In Westmorcland Benedict Walker, r,
is elected Sheriff by a large majority
Walter Bowie, his opponent was before the
people as a candidate Il week only before
the day of election In the Oak Grove dis
trict of the same county, Col. Joseph I.
Harvey and VIM. K. Dozicr are elected
Magistrates in the place Of Col. Henry I.
Garnett and DR.. Thos. Il. Dirty, who de-
clined reelection. In the Courthouse
district, John i. Brockcnbroush is elected
magistrate by ma joritY Of 10 over Samuel
B. Atwill. At the Hague, John p. Bailey
is elected in place Of Col. Thos. Brown, and
at Huntsville, DR.. Joseph Jones succeeds
Col. VIM. W Brown. With these exceptions
the former Justices have been reelected.
John Crltcher, esq. who was defeated by
Ro. Mayo, jr., for the office of Common
vealth's Attorney will contest the election.
Mr.. Mayo's majority is 5.
At MontrosS, on the evening OF election
day, IA personal rencountcr occurred between
man named Shaw and \. ". Baker, in
which the former was shot: the ball taking
effect inst above the collar bone, about the
angle of the neck and shoulders. The
wound was not regarded as dangerous. 1t
seems that the difficulty originated some
time during the past year, while Baker was
Sheriff, who, in the discharge OF some OIL
cial duty exercised less Indulgence than was
agreeable to Shaw, though quite is mach. he
contends, as was safe for himself. pom
the occasion referred 10, Shaw sought to re-
dress the alleged grievance. The case Of
the shooting was examined before two jus
ticeS on the following morning, when Baker
was promptly acquitted upon the ground Of
self defence. 3.

In the debate which took place, IN the
Senate, on Tuesday, on the General Appro-

cures, and hnying seeds in New York and
PENNSYLVANIA, and distributing them in other
sections At an immense expense 10 the gov
ernment, when they could he bought i'll any

Brown denounced the thing As humbug,
and doubted if the Patent Office ever sent

would not turn COW doctors"

i Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald complains loudly at the polltl-
cal course, pursued by some who profess
and call themselves Democrats, towards the
President The writer says, ''that such men
l.: Covode, Forney, llaskin, Hickman and
The like, should attempt to disparage the man
whom they could not bend to their purposes,
Yves to have been expected: but is it not the
dc,th of meanness and ingratitude IN other

and decency, to avow that during the can
vass of this year for the Presidency they in

the character or the action OF the admins

position may denounce and ridicule both TO

What they are pleased to call the corruptlonS
and abuses Justly chargeable to the present
men in power" This is q matter TO be set
lied between the President and his quondam
friends. They brought him into power, and

The Cincinnati Daily Press, discusses with
much carneStness and cogency, the recent
refusal Of Gov. Dennison, Of Ohio, to deliver
up on requisition from the Governor of Ten
neSSae, the man Kennedy, charged with
absconGing with the slaves Of his wife and
selling them into Virginia. The Governor
of Ohio based his refusal in effect upon the
ground that the laws Of the State did not
recognize slaves as property, and that the
stealing Of such could not consequently be
regarded as II crime in Ohio; that to author
ize the surrender Of fugitive from ustice,
the offence must be such Il one as is recoS
nized as Il crime by the common law, or by
the criminal code of that State. The Press
ably exposes the unsoundncss of this reason
Ing. and rightly terms the act OF Gov. Den
nison breach OF State comfy.

The general Money market this morning opened
quietly. The calls for discount at the banks were
large, very large. On the street there were very
few transactions; such as they were did not indi-
cate any change in rates, nor was there any indi-
cation that money might become scarcer. Long

The specie reserves of our banks are wen sus-
tanned. And abiding TO specie brings up the very
singular and incorrect remarks Of correspondent
Of the Daily Picayune, who, in writing from New
York under date of the 10th inst, says: " That
there is an increase of loans with the New York
banks, for the week ending the Tth inst, of two

of discounts up to sIs1 900 600 and this, with the
lowest specie line record that is the amount Of
specie in vault was only s22 $4,000 If our
neighbours correspondent calls this sum the lowest

which may prove beneficial to him hereafter, and
convince him that he is far out of the way when he
