THE CHARLOTTESVILLE CHRONICLE ON
"THE SITUATION. THE Chronicle of yes
terday says:
snow, they have their President, they
have an assured majority in Congress, and
we think that these facts make it probable
that they will be more ready to listen to
terms of compromise, while it is cersain
that the continued Republican supremacy
at Washington precludes all possibility of
advantage in delay. This then is undoubt-
eddy the time to do what the people Of the
State have uniformly shown disposition
to do, as soon az chance should occur to
get an impartial hearing at Washington
namely, concede something for the sake Of
peace and settlement. As we would con-
cede nothing without some guarantee of
peace, so we would seize the first opportu-
nifty to bring the State back into the Union
on bearable terms. Many think that the
present affords that opportunity, and we
are not disposed to dispute this point with
them, but think they are right. The I'm
derwood constitution can be defeated, but
its very defeat entails delay, during
which the same condition Of doubt and un-
certainty which now exists will paralyze
the business Of the State and check Its pro-
sperity, while ct the end TO better term
will be gained than can possibly be gotten
now.
" No time should be lost, but measures
should be taken at once to carry the plan
INFO execution. What is done in this, if it
is worth uoing at all, must be done quickly

I CANDIDATES FOR CoNaggss. MIR. William
". Dangan, one OF the 1essees Of the Alex
audria canal, has declared his intention to
become a candidate for Congress in the Sc
Tenth district Of Virginia. There were
already two candidates before the people
for this position-viz., Captain Is. Howard
Shack!eford on the part of the Conserva-
s!ves, and Mr.. Charles Whittlesey on the
part Of the Radicals. There may be others,
as it is stated that there has been for some
time forming a strong under-current, which
wi! more than probably lead to the nomi-
nation Of Lewis Mckenzie, ESQ, as the
candidate of the conservative Republicans.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, December "a, 1868.
The following facts will be interesting to
your readers in New York and the East.
The two roads will probably meet at Monu-
ment Point, on Salt Lake.
The California Pacific railroad is now
built from Sacramento.
July 18th, Big Bend of the Truckee, 1877
miles !; October 23d, Reese river, 800 miles
December oath, Maggie creek, 469 miles.
This is 1873 miles west from Monument
Point and Salt Lake.
The Omaha Pacific railroad is now from
Monument Point only 1873 miles.
Thus only 3lS miles part the two roads,
which distance both companies are build
ing on night and Gay. At this rate OF
working the two roads will meet in April.

Mcbbinx q Newspaper-Trial of an
Alleged Mail Robber.

New ORLEANS, December 3l.-The editor
of the Marksville (La.) Register, who is
also the clerk of the court for the seventh
judicial district court, reports the total de-
struction of his newspaper by a mob led on
by the Marksville Valagr,a Democratic
paper published at the same place.
The jury in the case of W. j. Mauk, on
trial for mail robbery, cannot agree, though
out since yesterday. The evidence against
him is pretty strong. The accused was o
brigadier-gene in the Union service
during the war, and General Rousseau tes-
tilted to his soldierly qualities and to the
fact that he had commanded one Of the
finest regiments in the army.
