Successful Knight, Mr. John Tutwiler. "
The Award Committees in Glasses %, so, 81,
81 and 80 recommend special mention, by name,
of all the articles and exhibitors in their Glass
respectively. This would be done but for want
of space. These articles number lis by 100 con-
tributors. They are all especially commended
Those to whom premiums have been awarded
in these well as in other Glasses, which pre-
mums are to be paid in books trees, &C., will
confer great favor by sending in at as early a
day possible lists of such articles as they pre-
fer. Some few have done so already Catalogues
of trees, shrubs, &C., can be had on application
to the President.
The thanks of the Managers are returned to all
that have contributed to our Fair and they take
this opportunity ofrequesting that not only these,
but others will endeavor to render our subsequent
Fairs even more attractive than the present, with
the assurance on their part, that arrangements
will be hereafter made to guarantee ample pro-
lection for all articles and better order and more
method in carrying out in detail our programme.
The Secretary would earnestly urge upon the
few Committeeman who have not yet returned
their books of award, &C., to do so as soon as
possible These we expect to file and preserve

Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

If anthing, says the Enquirer, could add force
to the objections which have already been made
to the removal of Colonel Fontaine from the
presidency of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail,
road, and the substitution of General Wickham,
it will be found in the protest of the capitalists
who are interested in the enterprise, and whose
opinions are expressed in the following letter to
General Scho6eld the Secretary of War; The
question is Are the best interests of the State
to be jeopardized in order to reward General
Wickham for joining the Radical party?
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, WEST UNION TELE-
GRAPH COMPANY, AS Broadway, N Y, Oct.
26, 1S6S-Hon j. NJ ,Schofeld, Secretary of
War, Washington, d. C.-Sir Restrained by
the pressure of official business from calling up
on you in person, as [ have desired for some
days past, solicited from my friend and CO.
director, Senator Morgan, note of introduction
to you, which inclose herewith.
As one of the trustees of the Chesapeake and
Virginia, and by the relations which this COM
road companies in the former State, | have
both personal and official interest in their
management. 1t is represented by parties in
terested with me, that efforts are being made
to change the administration of the railroads in
Virginia, in which the State is interested,
based, in part at least, on political aspirations.
The proper limits of this communication will
not permit me to discuss the subject in detail
| beg4gassure you, however, that from my
knowledge Of the facts, | am confident that
neither the interests of the Federal govern
ment, Of the State of Virginia, nor of any po-
litical party will be promoted by changing at
this time the administration of the roads here
inbefore referred to. Within a few months
past many of our leading citizens have made
large investments in those roads. Important
negotiations for capital to extend and improve
their equipment are now pending here, and
which would undoubtedly be seriously embar-
raised, if not defeated by changes in their ad-
ministration.
respectfully ask, therefore, that so far as
your department is concerned, the present
status may be continued, and that no changes
will be permitted until parties in interest in
this city and elsewhere outside the State of
Virginia may be heard in relation thereto.
[ have the honor to be with great res pect

GRANTS CABINET. The Journal of Com
nserce expresses the hope that Gen. Grant
will make up his Cabinet of strong men. As
he showed good judgment and discrimination
in selecting officers for his army during the war,
so the editor thinks We may expect be will be
equally discreet in selecting the civil officers
that are to help him carry ON the government.
He can best do this, the Journal thinks, by
ignoring partisan considerations, and taking the
best men wherever he can find them.
