LEXINGTON, VA, June Goth, 1870.


General: have duly received your let
Ter Of June 18th, and have no. hesitation in
rcplying to your inquiries. 1t is due to
You and TO the country that the Clcts should
be known.
Between The 1st Of December, 1860. and
the 1St OF March, 1861, Colonel William
Gillian, then Il professor in tho Virginia
NJ litary Institute, and who had been asso-
ciatcd with General George III. Thomas at
West Point, received letter from him,
dated New York, enclosing one to
General Smith, tile Superintendent of
the Virginia Military Institute (a copy
of which is herewith appendctD. Colonel
Gillian presented this letter to General
Smith, who was then confined to his bed by
sickness. lie directed Colonel Gillian to
write TO General Thomas and say 10 him
that there WAS no vacancy ut that lime in
the Faculty of the Institute, but that t he
desired position in Virginia the o1lice Of
chief of ordnance Uhen recently organizcd),
with the rank and pay OF Il colonel OF eaval-
ry, was vacant, and that his claims were
silch that no doubt existed that /, as:Go-
vernon of Virginia. would confer the ap-
pointment upon him if hc desired it. To
this letter Colonel Gillian received reply
substantially us follows lie "asked Yhe-
thcr the appointment was dependent upon
the mutations Of political parties III W.
gina; and if not, but was permanent, he
would be glad to receive it," AS soon as
the contents OF this letter were conrnuni-
Gated by Colonel Gillian to the Superin-
tendent the latter addressed a strong letter
to me, urging me to confer the appointment
of chief of ordnance upon Thomas. At the
same time he Nhc Superintendent wrote Il
letter to DR.. Thomas ). Urqullart, senator
i'm the Legislature from the county of South
ampton Crhomas's native county,, making
known to him what he had done,
and suggesting to DR.. Urquhart to sus-
tain the letter to me by his own per-
sonal and official influence. The correspon-
dence between Gillian and Thomas left no
doubt upon the mind of Gilham, or Of the
Superintendent, or myself, that the sympa-
thies of Thomas were with the South in the
then approaching struggle. The appoint
mcut was made out for Thomas, and he
was notified of the fact. ....L
Colonel, Gilham resides in Richmond, and
can verify these facts; Doctor Urquhart is
also living, in Southampton county, Va,
and can be referred to. -

We had TO close our letter very hurriedly
last night on learning that the stage, which

Sttunton, to be telegraphed to flchmond'
our report of Governor Walkers speech.
But being unwilling to trust the wires to
give the rythm of Mr.. Hopes beautiful
poem, we give now some of the verses we
have culled, only re%rctting that your
space will not allow us to send the Whole.
He opens with Il picture Of the destruction
of the Virginia Military Institute, and the
apparent hopeiessness of it's resurrection,
and then thus speaks of its rebuilding by
