The Buried Treasure and Archives OF the
COnfcdcraey.

The Theta Delta Chi fraternity which
met at the Astor House, New York,
I'm February last, listened TO an oration
by VIM. l.. Stone who, In the course
of some interesting "reminiscences OF
the REBELLION, spoke of David Thigh
man as the officer selected by the Con-
federate government TO take charge of
its treasure and archives.
On the morning of Mr.. Davis cap
ture, says Mr.. Stone, TilghmaR waited
upon him at his bedside, and said:
"Mr Davis, by this map you may see
that the enemy are here such and
such is the situation of the roads, If
you come with me you will be abfe TO
leave the country in safety. If you
do not you will be captured in five
hours To Mr.. Davis replying curtly,
that he "knew his own business best" +"
Tilghman continued, "Very well, sir /;
l have been entrusted with the treas
ure and archives, and propose to secure
them, even at the peril of the loss of
your favor and of my life. l shall
start at one, by the route / have mark
cd out"
The result Is we'll known. In less
than five hours Mr.. Davis was pris-
oner, but the archives were sate.-
When few weeks after, In the recess
ses Of the forest, Tilghman learned
that all was lost, he alone, and with
his own hands, buried the treasure and
archives; and unless, during the four

"Thos. Farley, residing near Bristol,

other gentleman near Bristol has sub
scribed over 5000 acres of land TO the

The Norfolk Journal says:

Message from Governor Walker Approving

BIIl.

RICHMOND, Juno II, 1870.
The following IL Gov. Walkers let
ter, sent TO tho Senate about half-past 2
o'clock:
Gentlemen Of Gso Senate and House Of
Delegates.
The bill entitled an act TO authorize
the formation of the Atlantic, Missis-
sippi and Ohio Railroad Company has
this day been approved by mo. Upon
the subject of consolidation, ns it is
popularity styled, and which IL is an
ticipated will be practically accom-
plished under this bill, my views were
formed years ago, and are still huchan
ged. They were endorsed by the last
Legislature of the State, and have now
been sanctioned bya very largo major
ity of your honorable body. Tie ques-
ton has been tliorodghly discussed,
and the correctness of the policy must
he considered as established by the pop
ular voice of the State. / have earn
estly and carefully considered all the
provisions of this bill. My judgement
does not concur with that of the Gen
eral Assembly In some of the provis-
ions. But the Legislature, i'm our form
of government, may be rightly regaf-
garded as the exponent of the popular
VIII ana Judgment III q measure OF
this character. You have expressed,
by decisive majority, your approval
ofall these provisions. In view Of this
fact, do not feel it to be incumbent
on me to interpose my individual
opinions in arresting the oonsumma-
tion of a measure so emphatically en-
dcrsed by your judgment.
If my own Judgment was clear that
this bill involved an infractior of the
Constitution or violation of private
rights, or that your honorable bodies
had not deliberately and fully consid-
sidcred all the just interests of the
State in the passage of this bill, |
should unhcsitatingly withhold my
approval.
The great Importance of this meas
ure and an earnest desire TO perform
my duty in regard to it, have caused
me TO give this the fullest reflection
possible in the time allowed me, and |
have felt it to be appropriate to state
briefly i'm this manner the reasons
which have controlled my action.
Respectfully,
GILBERT G. WALKER.
