WELLs's CHARLOTTESVILLE BEr.-Th

Chr0nictc says -....
s.Onc of our most respectable farmers
heard that Governor Wells had declared ut
the diuner-tablc OF the Parish Hotel, in this
place, that Inc would carry the State by
thirty-iivc thousand majority. lie accoStcd
the Governor and asked him il he had made
such Il remark. and when Wells replied that
he had, our friend told him that he would
bet his whole fortune (Which is very larSc)
that he would not; Whereupon the Cover
nor said that his remarks were only ntue
joculdrly. Our friend then informed the
Governor that he would bet his fortune that
he (thc Governor) would not get fifteen
Thousand majority, but the Governor de-
clined this bet also.
Mr.. Jenkins, who was standing by, then
spoke up, and said that if our friend would
come to Richmond he could get any num-
Der of eUen bets whereupon Mr.. jenkins
was informed that he could ut that time be
accommodated to the amount of 81 600 II
he should see fit to accept the wager. The
Governor and Mr.. jenkins then stepped
aside, and after few moments converse.
ton Mr.. jenkins returned with draft Tor
81 ,425 on Washington, and endorsed by, III:
Ii. Wells, Gt seems that the Governor had
to advance the draft,) which he offered to
put up in the hands of J. Wood, Jr. Our
friend said that as he did not know whether
the draft was good or not, if Mr.. Jenkins
would have it honored at the national bank
of this place, the like amount would be
placed in the hands of Mr.. Wood by him ;
but Mr.. j. politely declined to walk to the
bank upon the plea that it was making him
too conspicuous. though the Conservative
told him he should be taken to the bank IN
a private manner, and along some OF The
less frcquented streets. s
It was evidently 4 case Of back-doWn on
the part of Mr.. jenkins, although he had
reduced the majority from 81, 900 to an even
bet.
DANvILLE ALL RIGuT.-We are highly
gratitied at the interest manifested at the
meeting Wednesday night. There was 4
very good urn-out-mostly white, but quite
Il aniIlnber of colored people. There. seemed
to be more feeling and enthusiasm than we
have seen Mt all ut any of our meetings since
the war. The whites are all ablaZe with
excitement, and the negroes have evidently
been brought to a halt in their mad career
