A meeting Of the Breckenridge, and Bell
and Everett Executive Committees met in
Richmond on Monday last to confer as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of sending delegates to the Phil
adelphia National Convention There being
no organized Douglas Committee in Rich
mond several of the party present were in
vited to participate in the proceedings. There
was diversity of opinion as to the course to
pursue, but the Philadelphia Convention was
approved and it was resolved to send dele
gates to represent Virginia. A committee
was appointed to prepare business and the
meeting adjourned to meet again on Wednes-
day.
We are opposed to the sending of dele
gates by the Southern States to this conycn-
ton, upon the platform of the committee
calling the convention, or in the light Of its
construction by prominent men endorsing this
convention, who either directly or indirectly
sanction the present Congressional test oath
We can not 90 into such convention under
the platform proposed, without stultifying
ourselves and giving our sanction to the le-
gality of the unconstitutional test oath, which
would debar us from having anything but a
mock representation in Congress for years to
come, and we would be decidedly better with
out any. Assure them in any proper man
ner that we will aid them in what
way we can, and on Constitutional princi-
pies, to defeat the Radicals and restore the
country, but let us not sit in any convention
which acknowledges any difference in loyal
ty to the Constitution between the people of
the sections, now "lnnatura y severed
If delegates are to be sent let it be under
the express qualification, as expressed in the
resolution of Mr.. Nat, Tyler, on Monday
last, - that Virginia claims her rights under
the Constitution, and laws made in pursu-
ancc thereof, and protests against all pro-
scriptive test oaths.'

A MAN COVERED UP IN WE'LL FoRTY FEET
DEEp-HE CuTs HIS THROAT TWICE, AND Is
RESCUED AL1vE.-A frightful accident oc-
Cured in Hanover on Friday last. A far
mer employed laboring man to clean out a
well for him. The we'll was forty feet deep,
and it was successfully cleaned, but the well
caved in covering up the unfortunate man.
The neighbors were summoned, and at once
set to work to dig him out. After laboring
for several hours, the body of the sufferer
was reached and taken out in an insensible
state. Upon examination it was found that
he had cut his throat in two places with a
pocket knife. 1t is thought that the victim
Of this frightful accident feared he would not
be rescued, and cut his throat to put himself
out of his misery At last accounts the man
was still alive, although fatal results were
feared. Our informant did not learn his
name. Jackson (lNo.) Citizen.

The President returned the Frccdmens
Bureau Bill to the House Of Representatives,
on Monday last, with his objections. His
objections are the same as those given for
his veto of similar measure in February
He opposes it as class legislation, as unwisc,
as setting up military tribunals liable to
come in to conflict with the civil law, and
unnecessary, as the laws of each state pro-
tect the persons and property Of white and
black alike. He objects to it on the score Of
economy. lie says the act now in force ex
tends some months beyond the meeting Of
the next Congress, which, if additional legis-
lation is necessary, can then mature bill.
He further states that the Civil Rights bill
secures all the legislation contemplated by
this bill, the provisions Of which will be faith
fully executed so long as it remains unrepeal-
ed and may not be declared unconstitutional
by courts of competent jurisdiction. The
provision confirming the sale OF certain Sea
Island lands is considered unwise, partial
and unconstitutional In conclusion he
warns Congress of the danger Of class legis-
lstion.
The bill was passed over the veto by vote
of 103 yeas to 81 nays i'll the House and 33
yeas to II nays in the Senate.

VIRGINIA AND KENTUCKY RAILEoAD-A
very large meeting Of the stockholders of the
Virginia and Kentucky railroad was held in
Bristol on Thursday last at which much en-
thusiasm prevailed, and a fixed determina-
ton to push the road forward to early COM
plction was manifested by all present.
Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith was elected
president of the road, and Gen. Peter John
son, of Lee county, and Mr.. - Keen, Of
Scott, directors on the part Of the stockhold-
ers.
The road will have its eastern terminus at
Bristol, and it's western at Cumberland Gap,
being one hundred miles in length. At Cum
berland Gap it will meet a road from Lex
ington, KY, and will thus give the great
valleys of the Ohio and Mississippi route
to the seaboard at Norfolk shorter by forty
miles than any other. -Lynchbmy Neus 18th
