Richmond papers of yesterday contain cores
pondence between a number of the most respecta-
Bile and influential citizens of that city and
CHARLES PALMER, ESQ.,, an old and disiln-
guished merchant thereof. The subject OF the
correspondence is an invitation to Mr.. Palmer to
become q candidate to represent Richmond In the
next Senate of Virginia, and its acceptance by
that gentleman. 1t gives US great pleasure
city, though it is to be regretted that 1t
was 30 long deferred. We hope, however,
that it is not too late, and that Mr.. Palmer will
be returned by large majority. He Ia peculiarly

appointed Hon. LUKE p, POLAND, of St.
Johns bury, now Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, tc supply the vacancy occasiontd by
the death Of Senator Collamer until the next
meeting Of the Legislature. The high char
aoter Of Judge Poland a. lawyer, and the
excellent tact with which he has heretofore
adapted himself to every position in which
he has been placed, warrant the expectation
that ne will do no dishonor to himself or the
State in this high position. We cannot blink
the fact, however, that other considerations
in this matter will most probably command
the attention Of the people, and especially OF
those who have been looking for another can
di ate for the next full senatorial term. We
only add, at this moment, that the Legisla-
ture at its next session will have to elect a
Senator for the then unexpired term of Judge
Collamer, and also for the succeeding term OF
SIX years.
In consequence OF the above, Gov. Dilling-
ham has also made the following appoint
ments
Hon. JOHN PIERPoINT Of vergennes to be
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court.
Hon. BENJAMIN H. STEELE, Of Derby, to
be 5sh Assistant Justice of the Supreme court
PERSONAL Solomon Wright Esq of Pow
nal, was instantly killed on the lS.h inst,
By being thrown from his wagon. He was
one of the oldest and worthiest citizens of
the town.
1t is said that G. Merrill, tho excellent
Superintendent of the Vermont Central and
Vermont and Canada Railroad, is about TO
retire, and that II. H. Lockln will probably
take his place. Mr.. Locklin is a gentleman
admirably fitted for the place by long expert
ence ia the ticket department and as assistant
Superintendent. +. f. Perkins, the master
mechanic, has been offered lucrative posi-.
ton in Russia, and Ii. Col G. Chandler of
the 10Th Vermont, formerly in the Central
road, goes to the Cheshire road in a high po-
sition.
Brig. Gen. Edward w. Smith, for vemont
has been appointed Chief of Staff to Msjor
Gen. Terry. The Government has closed the
New York and Washington departments for
the purchase Of cattle for the army. These
Departments have been under the charge of
Captain A. l.. Carlton Of Montpelier, and on
receiving an honorable discharge he was bre-
vetted Major for his fidelity and efficiency -
This honor has been richly deserved. Our
townsmsn Clark equally deserved like promo
tlon, and we doubt not he would have had i ,
had he remained in the service.
Maj and Paymaster Samuel Il. Adams, Of
Minnesota, formerly Of Randolph w., has
been brevetted Lieut. Col. for faithful service.
F. V. Goodsell, native OF Ferrisburg,
