The GovERNoRsHIP.-Our venerable friend of the
Hillsborough Recorder, copies from the Henderson
vile Times and the Standard on the subject of the
Governorship, and adds:
. 1t is not necessary for us to name our first
choice" as oil our readers know upon whom it
would naturally fall. Gov Graham has been long
before the people, has filled many important Offices.
ard in none of them has he been found wanting in
skill or unfaithfulness In these times of distress
and peril, party preferences should give place to
more enlarged and patriotic views. In selecting
men for Office our choice should be guided by the
ability and prudence they have shown in the places
they have filled, and those should be preferred who
have proved themselves to be statesmen capable of
wise and energetic performance Of the high trusts
committed to them, snd whose character will give
assurance of untiring diligence and faithfulness
Gov. Graham and Gov. Morehead are such. The
others named may be able men, good men, and true ;
but their craftsmanship has yet to be put to the
proof and in these times of peril, mistake in the
choice of Governor may be attended with disastrous
consequences. Let tried man, a man in whom all
the people of the State can have confidence, be
| brought forward now; and the younger aspirants
| can come into place in less perilous times"

CIvnITY.-Civty is the cheapest and most USE
ful coin that crculates. 1t equally becomes the
oeggar and the King It's even more graceful in
distinguished functionarles than in supposed infe-
riors whom they address, for the dignity of the
office is enhanced by the affabity and composure of
the occupant. Its absence from such, in this coun-
try, may provoke, but never alarm or ntimidate. -
1t is coin to which all are entitled; and if with
held, whether from caprice, or passion, or affected
dignity or contempt for inferior station, its pay
ment in the end will be required, with compound
interest

: HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
Wednesday Afternoon, May 21.-The encamp-
nlent Of the advance of the army under Gen.
SStonenan is still at Gain Mills, eight miles
and half from Richmond, and one and half
from the Chickahominey creek.
The picket Of the Confederates occupy the
bank on one side, and those of the Federal
forces on the other : - -
Gen Stoneman, in company with rofessor
Lowe, made a balloon reconnaissance this morn
ing from Cams Mills, reaching an altitude of
five hundred feet -.
From their position an admirable WV Of
Richmond with glass and the camps Of the
Confederates within the limits Of the corporation
were seen; also the arrival and departure Of rail-
road trains On the road between New Bridge
and Richmond, very few troops were visible;
but to the left of the city, Oh the, line Of the
mail coach road leading to Bottom bridge large
number of troops were seen. The smoke Of
numerous camp fires was seen coming from the
woods; showing that they we're occupied by a
large force Of the enemy. Heavy firing was
heard yesterday afternoon and this morning to
the left of Richmond which was probably caused
by the Federal gunboats endeavoring to force
their way up the James river:
The weather is warm and pleasant during the
day time, with heavy rains at night.
Il The health Of the troops continues remarka-
bly, good. Two rations Of whiskey and quinine
are now daily issued @@

CAIRO, May 21-Advices from the hotilla,
announce the probable evacuation Of Fort Pill
low. The steamer Kennett, which went down
with flag Of truce, with number Of prison.
ers to be exchanged, returned to the fotllla
without seeing any signs Of life at the FORT or
as far as could be seen below it. The general
impression is that the Confederates had fallen
back on Fort Randolph, twelve miles below.
Two hours after the Kennettreturned, the Con-
fe6lerate steamer, with a flag Of truce, came up
from below, took off prisoners from the Ken
nett, and steamed down the river.
