''haVe taken the stump for Walker and against the

tie consequence to the public yet, as do not wish
to be misunderstood by any take occasion to place
myself right At the last term of Franklin County
Court after Colonel Martin. OF Henry, had made
speech portion of my old friends called upon me,
and in response made some remarks expressive OF
ing election. Regarding the instrument so anoma-
lously propunded TO the people OF virginia as
a State Constitution by the recent proclamation of
the President of the United States, in its origin,
sions, degrading to the State destructive OF its
honor and interests, and subversive of all sembance
OF State rights, advised the people of my native
county to cast their votes against 1t, either as
that it was not improbable that, by reason OF what
regarded as the unwise counsel OF some OF our
public men, the instrument would be palmed
upon us either with or without the disfranchisng
recently held in Richmond, the conservative
candidates had been withdrawn, thus narrowing
the contest for Governor to a choice between
two Northern men who had been nominated by
their respective wings Of the Republican party and
as the infamy Of Wells character, public and pri-
Vate, had been fully developed and established,
advised them to cast their votes for Walker, as
choice Of evils, upon the chance of his proving better
than his opponent, If for no other reason. do not
think this can be said TO be "taking the stump for
Walker" The whole ticket, from its head to its
tail, is Objectionable and offensive to me, and the
tail is not by any means the least offensive part Dire
necessity alone could induce me to urge any one.to
give his support TO such ticket or any part OF It,

ST. LOUIS, June 29.-The Republican has O special
despatch from Green River City, Wyoming, dated
the celebrated Powell exploring party has just
reached this point having escaped after incredible
hardships out of the canon OF the Colorado He re-
ports that the whole party, excepting himself,
perished while attempting to cross the rapids He
had crossed above, and from the west bank wit

800 miles from the nearest settlement without sup
plies, and almost without hope.
Not daring to leave the stream, lest he should get
lost he ascended the bank to this point the crossing
of the Pacific road where he received such attention
as he requires To this the Republican appends the
following editorial note THE fact that the despatch
fails to give the name OF the survivor OF the exped
ton leads us to hope that the statement may have
been told by half-staryed hunter, who wished
to enlist sympathy. Undenably it is possible, and
even perhaps probable. II half OF the stories of
