ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE II, 1872.

Ex-Gov. VIM SMITH, of Fauquler, has
written letter, on the political situation
which is published in the Richmond Euqnirer.
In private note to Mr. James Lyons, accom-
panying his letter, Gov. Smith says:
II regard the Democratic and Conservative
party as synonymous, and my effort is to pre-
serve it from division, and to give it a wise and
effective direction. | hope to God that our
noble party will preserve its unity, and demon
strate to the world that it has no man or men
to promote but country to save.
Ia his letter Gov. Smith, states at length his
views as to the absolute necessity of voting
against Grants Administr N if we desire to
effect Reform In the Government, and a return
to Justice and moderation. lie then contends
that the Baltimore Convention should certainly
take into consideration the question as to wheth-
er Mr. Greeley will not bring strength enough,
united with the Democratic vote, to secure his
election and he is inclined to think that under
the circumstances, straight out Conservative
nomination can effect nothing, and that there
fore the safest and best course should be to ac-
cept nomination which may be successful.
He concludes his letter with some excellent re-
marks from which we make the following ex-
tract:
Although We have to assist in the election
of one who has shared i'll all the misrue we
depore, yet, in the fact that he stops short in
the mad war upon our people and our institu-
TONS and not only refuses to 90 furtherwith his
l,,k i >1,ff, hi
auce, if elected, full of the doctrines of our
creed, we see plainly marked out for us the
line of duty by which we, the Democratic
party, must be governed, if we respect our
selves, believe in the SoundneSs OF our doc
trines, and love our country. And | repeat,
that if we find ourselves unable to effect that
thorough and complete reform at once, which
we think essential to restore constitutional
liberty, it is our bounden duty to mark our
reprobation of those now in power by opposing
them with heart, mind and soul, and to
lutte with any party which will do like
wise, and take step in the right direction. and
thus opening up to us the prospect, and it,
spring US with the hope, that We may, step by
step, accomplish our dcliverancc. This
policy demands the strlctest party organization,
a thorough union OF our party, solid, unbrok-
en- movement upon that line which our wise
men in council may adopt and recommend to
us. The world will see, and the world will under
stand. that it is love Of country and our deep
anxiety that sound principles should prevail,
which enable us to overcome our repuguance
TO those with whom we may have to cooperate:
that in going for Liberal Republican-aye,
even Mr. Greeley-our purpose is to drive the
Goths and Vandals from the capital and to
secure the ascendancy and firm establishment
of those principles without which liberty is a
myth, sounding brass and tiuking cymbal. >
The arguments aud advice of Gov. Smith
we think are sound and judicious. They look
to practical results.

Military Committee In relation to the Buell. re-
cords, which was submitted to the House of
Representatives on Monday, shows, among
other things, that these records were in the
office Of Judge Advocate General Holt, in
May, 1863 They were taken thence to be car
red to the Adjutant Generals Office sometime
after that; but whether they were ever receiv-
ed there is not known, as no trace of them can
be got in any quarter. According to the re-
port, both General Wallace and General Buell.
declare that there is nothing in the records that
need have caused either General Grant or Gen
eral Sherman to desire to have them destroyed.

TIE TOMATO. A correspondent of the Mas

of several new varieties of the tomato just in
troduced to public favor, warns gardeners
against them. and prefers the General Grant
or Trophy to all others. ''rhe last named
variety, he adds, ''for favor size and solidity
is truly the trophy. But the General Grant is
earlier u more profuse bearer, more thorough
ripener. and does not crack around the stem. II
future improvements can change the type of the
Trophy so that there will not be an unrlpe por
ton and cracks near the stem, it will truly be-
moment of victory over the other SORTS
Maupay Superior and I'ildcn are good, but
| inferior to the newer sorts. La regard to pro-

manner of cultivation. If fine composted
manure is used, the plants kept fastened to
trelises and the large leaves frequently removed,
it will materially accelerate the time Of matu-
rty. Don't be afraid of your shears if you
want tomatoes early.
