WOODBURY.

A member of the Woodbury Valley Rife Co. 5th Regt. c. V. forwarded last week to Wm Cothren, Esq. as Q memento of the recent taking of Martinsburg Va by Gen. Banks Division, a copy of the "Code of Virginia" printed at Rich mond in 1860, with the following letter written on fly leaf of the volume, showing that the ''Woodbury Boys'' <" still live" :-
 "FR1END CoTHREN The old political motto, to the '' victors belong the spoils' is fsvorite one with you of the legal profession. Believing you not an exception to the general rule, l take the liberty of sending you this addition to your stock of legal textbooks. The volume is one provided by the late State of Virginia for l the benefit of the Circuit Court of Berkley Coun ty, and was left behind in the hurried evacua- | tion of the Town and Court House by the rebels on the approach of the troops few nights ago. Although it may never be of practical use ill any cases in which you may be employed, thought, perhaps, you might value it as q relic of the once proud State whose enactments the highest in the land were bound to respect-but now brought so low, that :. none are so poor as do it reverence" Although 'slead letter. now, know you will unite with me in hoping, that the day is not far distant, when the letter of the law will assume the dignity to which it is enti- tied ;-and then, perhaps, the book may be use full for reference GARDINER SToCKMAs.

18th District.

Tho Union and Republican Conventions which met at Wolcottvillc last week, to nominate : Candidate for Senator from this district, happily came together, and made the joint nomination of Hon. HIRAM GOODWIN of Barkhamsted, toi Senator. The proceedings of both Conventions and the Resolutions adopted at each, will be found elsewhere. The name of Henry 5. Bar, bour, Esq.,, which was prominently before both Conventions as their nominee, was withdrawn ia joint Convention, for no other reason that we could see, than that he was supported by depu- sasion (not delegation from Winsted, consisting of two. That killed him.
 Hen. Hiram Goodwin was the Senator from this district two years since, and at that time was considered the ablest man in the Senate. Il is a matter of congratulation that the district will again be saably represented. A better mar we could not ask for, and in his election, the dissrict will confer more honor upon themselves than they can upon him. e ~
