PERsONAL.-Capt. b. &. Cook, one of
the delegates from this city to the Pittsburg
Convention of Union Soldiers and Sailors,
returned on Sunday morning. He says the
attendance and enthusiasm were beyond
description. Virginia was well represented
in the permanent organization of the Con-
vention. Col. +. E. White, of Alexandria,
and Capt. W. A. McNulty, of Culpepper,
were among the yice-presidents and Capt.
B. G. Cook, Of this city, and W. j. john
son were among the secretaries. One of
the most marked Incidents of the meeting
was the reading of the letter published in
the STATE JOURNAL few days ago. from
the ex-Confederate soldiers of the South.
The reading was often interrupted by the
widest cheering, and when the end was
reached, and distinguished Union soldier
proposed three cheers for those brave
men of the South" the assembled thou
sands rose to their feet and made the very
welkin ring with their glad shouts. The
incident was most happy one, and serves
to indicate the brotherly regard which ami
mates the true soldiers Of the two late OPP
posing sections.
DR.. Charles S. Mills and John W.
Wolff, Esq.,, of the State Republican Com
mittee, returned from their northern trip
Sunday morning. They found public sem
timent in the States and cities which they
visited strongly in favor of the reelection
of Gen. Grant, who is more popular at this
time among the masses than at any other
period of his life. No doubt is entertained
among intelligent people of his triumphant
election.

FRTGHTFUL Yesterday,
about noon, as the carriage of General
Bradley T. johnson was returning TO
church for the family, the horses took
fright at some object, and started to run.
The driver, in attempting to check them,
broke one of the lines, and being thus
rendered powerless to stop or guide them,
jumped from the box. The horses contin-
ued to run, passing through several streets
and around corners with great rapidity, and
finally took to the sidewalk of Seventh
street, between Grace and Franklin, pass
ing shade trees, carriage stands, and lamp
posts without injury to themselves or to
the vehicle. They at last ran into the area
of DIR. Upshur's dwelling, at the south
west corner of Franklin and Seventh
streets, one horse falling into the open space
after knocking down the iron railing and
granite Gaping that surrounded it.
Strange to say, although the horse fell
distance of five feet or more on the broken
railing, stones, &C., he was only slightly
injured in one or two places. The carriage
was not much damaged. The pole and
several spokes were broken and the top
slightly injured.

INToLERABLE NUIsANCE.-If any
health officer will take the trouble to pass
through Second street, between Marshall
and Clay, he will discover that a powerful
stencil arises from the gutter on the west
side. This nuisance should be abated at
once, even if the residents in the immedi-
ate neighborhood are not seriously incom-
NODDED by its presence. In some parts of
the city, the residents are required, as they
should be, to keep the cutters in front OF
their premises clean. Why this portion OF
Second street is an exception is a question
for our Board of Health or police to de-
termine.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA,
September 20, 1870. I


FREDERICKSBURG, VA,
September 20, 1870. !
TO the Editor Of the State Journal:
Last Wednesday, (court-day,) was a
memorable one in old Stafford county.
MessIs. r. Z. Withers and Major E. M.
Braxton spoke about three hours and q
half for Greeley and Braxton, and Hon.
James B. Sener, Republican candidate for
Congress, replied in a mastery speech of
one hour and quarter in defence of Grant
and Wilson and the principles of the
Republican party. | see the Richmond
papers do Mr.. Sener great injustice, and
therefore take this occasion to say that the
joint discussion between Messrs. Braxton
and Sener will appear quite fully in the next
issue of the fredericksburg Ledger, which
comes out next Tuesday. There was
about two hundred persons present, and
listened to the speeches with great interest
throughout.
Mr.. Sener is the first Republican that
has ever made Republican speech on
court-day at Stafford Courthouse; and he
has nobly upheld the standard Of our party
in that county as he has at every place
where he has spoken.
w men MT. Sener concluded MS able ana
eloquent speech, three cheers were pro-
posed for Horace Greeley, but so great an
impression had been made by his forcible
argument and unanswerable logic, that the
audience failed to give even one of the three
cheers proposed for Horace Greeley.
Three leading Conservatives of the
county, Zone of whom was a member of
the convention which nominated Major
Braxton,) accorded to Mr.. Sener great
praise, and said he had acquitted himself
with honor.
The honest, hard working yeomanry of
Stafford are doing their own thinking, and
will give Grant and Wilson, the friends of
the laboring man, large vote in Noyem-
Der.
l should have remarked in the proper
place that Conservative admitted to your
correspondent that Major Braxton's speech
was feeble effort, and that Mr.. Sener over
whelmed him; and this is almost the uni
versal sentiment amongst his opponents.
