SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 6.

The nomination of Mr. SHAcKELFoRD, Of
Fauquier county, as the Conservative candidate
for Congress, from this district will be cordial
ly accepted and endorsed by the Conservatives
of the district. He is not only a true and re-
liable gentleman, but has fine talents, political
experience, and is an eloquent and forcible
speaker. We have known him, from very
young man (snd he is now in the prime Of life),
and always found him to be consistent, sound
in his principles, honorable, and conscientious.
His selection, therefore, pays him merited
compliment, while the Conservatives will find
that he repays that confidence with zeal and
fidelity in their cause, and in the cause Of his
State and his country

DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD. On Wednesday after
noon of last week, tremendous rain fel ! in
the central valley, extending from about Mt.
Jackson as low down as Woodstock. A gentle
man, one of the oldest residents Of the Valley
who came up in the stage from MiddletoWn on
Thursday, informs us that he has never seen a
greater flood in that part of the Valley. At
Woodstock, especially, it was considered by
the oldest inhabitants, the most unusual flood
known. The water was two feet deep in the
main street Of Woodstock, and was Within an
inch of running into the hotel OF Chas. Welsh,
The railroad bridges at Narrow Passage and at
Edenburg were both good deal injured, por-
tons of each being swept away. Three OF the
double trestles In the centre span OF Narrow
Passage Bridge are gone, and one of the found
ations in the creek destroyed. The rest of this
bridge, however, all stands well. The centre
span at Stony Greek is entirely swept away,
together with the cribs Mr.. Vandegritt,
Superintendent aaSa Chief Engineer, has been
looking at the disaster to the bridges, and
thinks that with active effort, such as will be
made, the injury can be repaired ID fortnight.

The crops of wheat in the lowlands along the
Valley turnpike were all seriously injured, be-
ing swept down by the food of water. The
fencing in the low grounds was almost all

SENATE CHAMBER, WASHINGTON City.
DEAR SIR: [ have your letter Of the 10th in
reference to the removal OF your political dlsa
bilities [ am not sure that the time has yet
come to make exceptions to our general policy
in individual cases; to do so would be to open
the door to innumerable applications and once
open it would be difficult to shut it. | hope
to meet such cases as yours by some general
enactment, and as soon as the condition OF the
country will permit, shall be the first to ad-
vocate the removal of all disabilities under
which you labor at present.
Yours. CHARLES SUMNER.
Mr.. SUMNER.-A friend has sent US the
following extract from the letter of Mr.. Sum
ner, of Mass, accepting the Office of Senator OF
the u. S. from the State OF Massachusetts,,
copied from the Alexandria Gazette of May Is,

sentiments and action Of this same Mr.. Sum-
ner in 1868.
II accept Office as the servant of the Union,
bound to study and to maintain the interests of
every section OF the country, and discounte-
nance every effort on the part of the North to
interfere with slaves in the slave States, and
all efforts on the part of the South to extend it
to free States, or influence the Natlonaf Gov
,ernment in its behalf"
