THE RIVER Boat. AS one of those inter
ested, permit me to ask why the river steam.
er Wawaset was so suddenly, and without pre-
vious notice, Withdrawn from her route on
Tuesday? Is she iu future to make but one
trip week? The people along the river have
been so often deceived by the withdrawal OF
boats, Just as they begin to attract travel, that
they are somewhat disheartened. Some went
to considerable expense in building wharyes,
&C., for the accommodation Of the boat and
passengers. 1t sthis uncertainty that prevents
the trade Of the river from seeking Alexandria
as market. \ boat that will run regularly
all the year, or until prevented by ice. would
pay we'll, and bring much trade to our city.

To tie EAtoy OF tie 4lerandrja Gazette:
Mr.. Shackelord's determination to remain
10 the field, as the Conservative candidate for
Congress IN this district, will, fear, place
MANY of his warm friends in very embarrass'
ing position, aud, in the opinion OF some, Sc
cure the election of Mr.. Whittlesey, by causing
an apathy on the part OF the Conservative
party, that will be felt also in the vote tor Gov
ernor beg leave to differ with Mr.. 5. in
his reasoning, and do not think that the case
of Gen. Young, of Georgia, is analogous. The
case being altered, alters the case; and 1 cannot
think that Mr. Shackelford has a right to hold
the party to the nomination made by the May
Convention OF 1868, when the object for which
that convention was held has, according to his
own showing, been accomplished. That eud
having been effected in my Judgment, renders
absolutely necessary new line OF pofcy.--
If the Richmond Convention thought proper
10 withdraw our State ticket, when there was
scarcely doubt of success, it appears to me
that there is greater reason Tor the Withdraw
al of Congressional candidates, where the rule
of majority is the Law. Mr.. s. is, Of course, the
best Judge of his eligibility, but he will lardon
me for making the enquiry; Did he not apply
70 Congress, at its late session, tor removal OF
his disabilities, and was bis name not stricken
from the list? If this be so-and my inlorma
ton is obtained from the newspapers, how
much less chance would he have, if elected,
coming before the House, as contestant, Tor
his seat, opposed by one who af6liates with the
dominant faction? The conclusion is foregone,
even il the precedent had not been established,
as in the South Carolina case.
Guided by Mr.. Shackeltord's opinions. many
will consider themselves bound to vote for him,
but will they not do it under the impression
that they are throwing away their vote, or
what is worse virtually aiding in putting into
power one with whose political sentiments they
are at utter variance; and will this not cause 4
lukewarmness that may not only defeat Mr.. s.
but inure the cause in the State Does Mr..
s. intend to put his friends to this test?
