GOVERNOR WALKER" Brick" Pomeroy
in his last letter from Richmond, thus
speaks of our Governor:
Governor Walker, formerly of the State
Of New York, is bright exception to this
general rule. For his sterling qualities, his
steady, watchful, untiring, patriotic, devo.
ton to the State of his adoption-for his
watchful interest over everything which
will add to the prosperity of Virginia, he is
held in just and high esteem. We doubt
much if this State ever had more popular
Governor than Gilbert c. Walker. Every
one speaks we'll of him. He is pronounced
a gentleman by political friends and foes
Heis looked upon as an honest man-as one
who has the pluck to do right no matter
what the consequences may be. Himself
and elegant, accomplished wife reside here
in the executive mansion, universally be-
loved and popular"
