ICOMMuNICATED,

The u. S. SENAToRsHIp.-The LceisIa-
ture, at its next regular session, which begins
IN december. will have to elect u. S. Scna-
tor. the term Tor which Judge Johnston was
elected, expiring on the 9TH OF March, 1871.
The candidates for tho position so far named,
are the present incumbent, Judge Johnston,
Gov Walker, and Mr. W T. Sutherlin, the Pres
dent of the State Agricultural Fair.
10 the opinion of the writer, the claims OF
Judge Johnston for reelection are paramount.
Elected at time when, to pursue course ac
ceptabe to the people of his State, and at the
same time not Objectionable to the faction VINO
held sway in Washington, and In whose hands,
for the time, were the dcstlnles OF Virginia,
was most difficult; yet, by dlgnlded but
not obdurate demeanor manly but pruuent
career, he assumed position, which at once
gave him weight in the Senate, and command
cd the respect and eslccm OF his constituents
who, ever anxious as to proper Representa-
ton of their feelings and views, have nothing
to condemn in Judge Us representative CT
pacity--his rotcs being always in accordance

bis part, why remove him, and deylate. in THIS
instance, from the custom OF OR State, In re-

| nection, is moro fit fer scat in the Senate
than the present incumbent, or that he would
better express the views OF Flrgnlans. lie
has been most honorcd by being elevated to
the highest Office within the gitt of the people
of the State, ard thus received quid pro quo
| for all services rendered. whatever may have
been their estimate; and without the slightest
intention of detractng from his worth, or that
of any other gcntlcman-it is high time that
those with whom We have been, and are,
thoroughly identified, should, when compatible,
be honored and when a faithful representative,
unbiased by State or country sectional prelu-
dices, has shown himself worthy OF the posi-
ton he occupies, great weight and consldera-
