KeSsrs. Editors Of the Dispatch.
Sir, issue of Saturday contains an article
headed Senatorial Nomination. that demands
correction. 1t contains statements that are utterly
false, though possibly can attach no blame to
your journal.
The Hanover delegates refused to join in the con-
vention, believing 1t to be illegally called, and re-
pudlated on the spot the whole action OF the body.
1t will therefore be seen that Hanover (Which alone
has four votes, while all the other counties have
only six), ioas not party to this packed conven-
tion.
Colonel James Uas not a candidate. He posi-
lively refused to have his name go before the body
for nomination.
The people of New Kent county express great
dissatisfaction with the whole thing, and declare
that they will not support the present nominee,

a MAP OF THE C1TY.-We were surprised
to hear the propriety of further small ap-
preparation for the completion Of the new
map of the city questionedat the last meet
ing Of the Council. This map is a necessl-
ty long felt. Mr.. Peasants, the venerable
and skilful surveyor, has been hard at work
upon it, in all kinds Of weather, during the
past winter, and only the small sum OF s3oo
is now needed to finish il. We know not
what may happen to the gentleman spoken
of by which We may be deprived OF the
services Of one who knows every alley and
curbstone in the city-and if anything
should happen, the whole work will have to
he done over again, at an expense three
times as great as the amount Of the appro-
priation now asked.
The map is wanted by our citizens. Let
it be finished, and that speedily.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1863.

& ABoARDER ELoPEs WITH HIS LAHDLoRp,s
WIFE.There resides in the quiet town Of
Manchester an honest man who earns his
daily bread by working at his trade Of iron
lmoulder in q Richmond foundry. The sal
ary Of an iron moulder is not as large as
that Of member Of Congress, and ours
was not the first who has sought other
means to exc out a comfortable living. By
and with the advice and consent Of his wife
at length he took in boarders. Among
them was gay and festive youth named
Pruett, who was for a time popular with
both landlord and landlady, but particu-
1arly with the latter. For time all went
smoothly y. The: husband day by day sWeated
over his stream Of melted iron, while the
wife seemed to toll contentedly at home.
But foul-mouthed rumor could not long al
low. this to be thus. One who. knew too
well the truth breathed that truth into the
husband scar. Beyond all doubt his wife
was faithless. His boarder had betrayed,
grossly Wronged him. There was q quar-
rel--nearly fght-but the guilty parties
promised to mend their ways, the good.
natured husband was satisfied, and peace
and harmony restored.
Butte few days ago the husband, return
ing from hiswork, found unmistakable evi-
.dence that the guilty lovers had forgotten
their solemn promises, and had committed
q sin which no husband can forgive.
There was another quarrel. No blows were
struck, but the heart-broken husband
sought to drown his sorrows in the inebri-
ating cup. During his absence the sinful
ma reao1vn1 fo a " and ay on did + bo
next train for Petersburg carried them
away bag and baggage, with several little
children clinging to their sinful mother,
but both happy as the morning lark. The
husband returned to find deserted home
but was yesterday at his usual work.
The yenders of gossip have spread the
story Of the sad affair with relish which
is always exhibited over these events,
which unlike accidents) do not occur in
the best regulated families.

The PUBLIC ICsHEALTH.-We heartily en-
dorse the following communication from
the Board Of Health, read at the last meet
ing of the City Council. Action in the
matter should not be delayed. Warm
weather is already here: IS
st'* aOFFICE OF BOARD OF HEALTH,
90 g. RICHMOND, June 8, 1858.
Gentlemen,-The present condition Of
the streets md alleys Of the city is one
we'll calculated to produce disease, and
should excite yourA body to take prompt
steps to remove this source of danger to
the public health. In the month Of April
the Board issued an order to the citizens
requiring the removal of such offensive ma
terials from their premises as We deemed
prejudicial to health. This order was COM
piled with by a large part of our popula-
tion, but there are many instances where
the failure to comply with the require
ments Of the order is. due to the inability
of the tenants to provide the means Of de-
fraying the expense attending such re-
moval. Its n-obseryance by others we
attribute to negligence. at your reg
ular meeting in April we asked for
the use of the force employed in repairing
the streets, as we'll as the 4chain-gang this
request has been overlooked :; and the
Board, with q full appreciation of the
danger to be apprehended to the public
health by the neglect Of proper sanitary
precautions, at the risk of being consid
importunate, again respectfully ask that
the force alluded to be turned over to
them. While our streets need repairs, cam
not these repairs either be delayed or pro-
yided for in some other. manner, and the
force now thus engaged be employed in the
more important occupation of cleansing the
city r. The streets in many places are now
made the receptacle Fall the garbage coli
lected on certain lots. T

The CASE. OF MOORE & BROTHER vs..
FOSTER s. MooRE-THE CHIEF JUSTICES
.INsTRUcTIoNs.--In the case of Moore s.
Brother Us. Foster & Moore, reported yes
terday, there was an inaccuracy which
should be corrected. The case raised the
question of the validity of sight draft,
or check drawn by bank at Windsor, in
North Carolina, on o bank at Portsmouth,
in Virginia, and put into commercial circu-
.lation by the former bank. Portsmouth ut
the time was occupied and controlled by
the national forces. The condition Of Wind
-sor in this respect was disputed. The act
of Congress prohibited all commercial in
iercourse between the insurgent States and
the loyal States, excepting, however, such
parts of the former as were thus occupied
or controlled.
The Chief Justice gave no instructions
of q general character touching the validity
of drafts drawn by citizens of Confederate
States on citizens of loyal States, or Of
notes made by either to the other, but
charged the jury that if they should find
that Windsor was not, at the time of the
making and issuing OF. the draft, in the oc-
4cupation OF control Of the national forces,
then the draft in controversy, being an act
Of prohibited commercial intercourse, was
not valid negotiable paper. Whether
Windsor was 80 occupied or controlled, ne
left to the jury.
Our statement was derived from one Of
the counsel, who probably misunderstood
the first part of the instruction.
