The Goyernorship.

Our readers will hear with deep regret, that the
Hon. William A. Graham declines to be considered
a candidate for Governor. We had hoped that Gov.
Graham would find it compatible with his sense Of
duty to allow his name to be used by his friends 81
Of bis election we could entertain no doubt. The
State stands peculiarly in need of such man at the
helm at this time No man in the State would in
spire such confidence in tie Office of Governor as
Gov Graham would. With our readers. we deeply
regret that he has felt it his duty to decline being
candidate.
Let the people assemble in primary meetings and
designate their choice for Governor. The time Is
short, and the sooner they act the better. A con.
sentative candidate will certainly be run, and in
our opinion, elected.

Portsmouth By. from 5 to $4,000 Of the enemy q

The battle Of Harrington was fought by 5000
troops on each side, led by Bragg and Van; Dorm on
our side, as the last accounts say. We captured
clothing and knapsacks. Nothing further from
Corinth. .. So
The victory Of Gen. Jackson over Miilroy IN the
valley is an important one. He was still pursuing
the enemy. His loss is 500 killed and wounded,
and the enemy is believed to have lost from u to

PARTY MAL1cE.-The Western Sentinel shows
its party malice in the following remarks:
"Under the castigations Of the press and the uri.
versal indignation of the people Of the State, that
selfconstltuted supreme power in the State, known
as the Convention, seems to be writhng and wrig
CLING, or in other words dying with an agony"
We have heard of no universal indignation of
the people" against the Convention. No meeting
Of the people has been held to give expression to
this Indignation if indeed it exists. The Sentinel
doubt thinks that its "castigatons" Of the Con-
vention have had powerful effect on the public
mind That paper, and the little squad for whom
it speaks, have been announcing the Convention
ever since it became conservative in its character
1t is enough for US to oppose to this party malice
Of the Sentinel the testimony which President Ed.
wards bore to the usefulness and patriotism Of the
Convention in his remarks at the close Of the last
session. The Sentinel in the above extract, utters
foolish falsehoods which are thoroughly refuted by
Mr.. Edwards in the remarks referred to.

We have no evidence that President Davis sym.

ARE JUSTICES OF TIE PEACE ExEMPTs UNDER THE
CoNscRrPrroN LAW "A friend at Stantonsburg asks
us whether Justices of the Peace are considered
Judicial officers" under the Consumption law.
We are inclined to the opinion that Justices of the
Peace are not" Judicial officers in the sense meant
by the Congress, Their jurisdiction is local, and
they are merely conservators of the peace in their
respective neighberhoods. The great body of them
have no stated or regular duties to perform; but,
in many Counties there are Justices who constitute
special Court, who are County Court Judges
and it may be, as they have duties to perform at
stated and regular periods that they are exempts.
We suppose there are from four to five thousand
Justices in this State, Of whom, perhaps, 1, 20
thousand are conscripts. 1t could hardly have
been the intention Of Congress to exempt so large
body Of men from the operation Of the act
We will add that we have given this opinion after
having consulted eminent lawyers on the subject.
NAVY BrANs-The Richmond Wh;g urges the
farmers to plant navy beans for the army. IT is
