Letter from Richmond.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gil

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
RICHMOND, Aug. S.-The Convention has
adjourned aud the members have left for their
homes and the city has resumed its wontcd
quiet. That in the results the Convention was
remarkably happy, there can be no doubt, for
a stronger ticket, or more appropriate Platform,
could hardly have been made, and that SUCCESS
will crown the laborS Of the body, hardly adj
nlts Of doubt
\ remarkable feature was the full Attendance
Of delegates, every county but one in the State
being represented in person, and that one by
proxy. ; This must b. taken as al Indication OF
the great interest manifest in the approaching
contest, and ausurs wei! for the success Of the
parry in November.
The pcrsouel Of the Convention was another
marked feature and 1t is doubtful if better
looking body Of men ever assembled IN this city
In point of ability, too, it will compare favor
ably with any Of its predecessors.
II all was not perfect harmony and accord on
the first day Of the session, after that time the
best of feeling prevailed, and while the con-
test between the friends Of the different candi-
dates before the Convention was animated yet
it was conducted iu that spirit which attest>
tHC IL W. dii'l Sil'hS tilll HliS
tunes fond Of fun and 'trollc, yet, with il. he
never iorgcts his sclIrcspect or the respect due
others. Ii was pleasant to hear the friends Of
one candidate cxtoIling the virtues and merits
Of his opponent, ard while Pleading for his par
ticuiar choice. saying nought that could wound
the tendcrcst seusibitics Of his next best
friend. Indeed, as was remarked BY one of
the speakers, the gentlemen before the Con-
vention from whom to choose were all ST. good
that the difficulty was to make choice. The
selection Of Mr.. Il. /. Daniel was most crafty
Ing to that gentleman aud his friends 1t was
but the hcstowal Of the wcll-ncritcd rtc0rupcnsc
of good and faithful servant
kEMpER, WITHERS and DANIEL, combine
as much strength as any names that could be
placed before the people of Virginia for their
suifragcS, and they should be delighted to honor
such worthy and gallant sons.
Mr. Hughes, the Radical candidate, is in the
city, and-says that be will be successful having
the full "Sympathy' OF the administration
What sympathy means may be easily coniec-
turcd, aud it is from that quarter that we may
expect the most active opposition.
1t is doubtful if the Radical candidate will
make canvass Of the State in the common
occupation Of that term; that is they will not
discuss the questions at issue before the people,
but will USE other means Of securing success.

THE CONSERVATIVE NOMINATIONS. We
are much pleased to see the manner in which
the nominations made at Richmond is received
by the Conservative people and the Conscrva-
tive press of the State. Every where, and on
all hands, the names of the nominees are hailed
not only with satisfaction, but with enthusiasm.
The prospect now is that there will not be a
dissenting voice in the Conservative party;
that all will join heartily in endeavorirg to elect
the ticket; and that there will be a full vote at
the ensuing election. And full vote, we hope,
will secure triumph for the Conservatives.

THE BRITISH MINISTRY Important changes
have been lately announced 10 the British ulu.

ties of Chancellor of the Exchcqucr, relieving
Mr.. Lowe, who is transferred to the nome Of
fee. The Marquis Of Ripou, Mr.. Brown and
Mr. Childers retire, the latter being succeeded
as chancellor Of the Duchy Of Lancaster by Mr.
Bright.
The changes which have been made will not,
it is thought, result in any change in the poll
cy which Mr. Gladstone has heretofore pursued
The opinion is expressed, however, that mas
much as Mr. Bright is among the new mem
bers, the action of the government will now be
characterized with greater vigor and decision.
