rived at Lynchburg and found it as billy as
usual. was pleased to find that the grading
of Jefferson street for our Danville extension is
nearly completed, and the bridge over the Back

when went to Abingdon and remained until 1
a m Friday, when | started for this city, where
| arrived this morning at o clock. | visited
the lodges at the above named places and Was
greeted very kindly by all the brothers, who gave
me pressing invitations to repeat my visits and
remain longer with them. This | promised to
do was detained at Marion longer than in
tended. An order was given to call me at = 4.
m.; it was not done, but another was called. who
went down grumbling and said, ''scc here mis-
ter, what in the - did you call me this
early for; the circus don topen until one clock;
[ wanted to get up soon but this is too d--n
soon, however, | will stay up and walk around;
another time don't wake up the wrong passen-
ger" was not called. There were two iratc
individuals in that burg that morning. Cole s
Circus Company was to open there that day,
and nearly every citizen OF that thrifty neigh
borhood were there; vehicles Of nearly every
conceivable description were pressed INTO Scr

COMPLAIN of the patronage received at Marion,
Smythe county, Va | find that there is still
considerable human nature among the travelling
public, and seltishness prcdomnates:an Instance:
On entering Que of the trains | found all the
seats in possession of one or two persons; ask
ed man if the place along side OF him was
taken, he rudely answered yes; this man, wife
and daughter had six seats; another mau, wife
servant and infant had six; three ladies aud q
child six, and couple returning from bridal
tour had four seats, thus eleven persons had
twenty two seats in possession The blldc aud
groom really did not occupy more space than
one large person would have done: the seats IN
front were for their feet occasionally and their
little traps. | could not think of troubling them,
and for certain reasons would not appeal to the
conductor 4 gentleman seeing my pIcdlca
ment kindly removed one Of his children and
gave me seat Justice to the conductors aloug
the whole line requires that should state that
every such act of sel6shness coming under their
notice was promptly corrected; more prompt
and gentlemanly set Of conductors cannot be
found than those engaged between Alexandria
and Nashville Our friend Capt. Il. Fairfax is
on the Lyuchburg and Bristol trains Without
intending to be iuvidious will mention Il
young man named Cotfey, on the road between
Bristol and Chattanooga, who, think conlblnes

, the pressure. While 10 Marion | saw Gov
McMullen who appears to be very anxious to
be one of the competitors of Gen. Bowen; he
told me that he got caught in his own trap;
that he had voluntarily told Gen. Bowen that
if he got the nomination he, McMullcn, would
) not be an ''independent candidate; he now
desires that Gen Bowen will release him, as
: he desires to enter the race lie says some
of his friends will call on Gen. Bowen on the
subject The enthusiasm Tor Greeley aud Brown
is steadily increasing out this way, and now
that Blatant Duncan 5 hzzlc Is over, and
the straight-outs are laid out straight, }. q.
