CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Congressional Convention which as
as We learn, characterized by that order, de-
corum, and enthusiasm which give earnest of
a successful campaign. We defer until our
next issue full report of its proceedings
Flying at our masthead will be found the
name of its choice-the Hon. Charles James
Faulkner. Asin the Grafton Convention two
years ago, so in this, the nomination was made
unanimous, and. therefore, as in that case, SO
in this, no true Democratic-C Conservative can
foramoment hesitate to give in his adherence,
and cordial support to the nomination.
For reasons of courtesy, chivalry, and en-
ineut propriety, We preferred Mr.. Martin for
the nomination. But the party has spoken
otherwise, and what was before preference on
the part of Mr. Faulkner's friends, comes now
with the imperious voice of Order Organiza-
ton, and Discipline. The District is large,
and work is to be done. Let every Democrat
be at his post, Mr.. Faulkner's eminent
ability, and untiring energy furnish guar
antee that our nominee will do everything
that could be expected of candidate in the
approaching contest. Jefferson voted for him
solidly in the Convention. Her prestige,
therefore, and ancient fame, and pride of con-
sistency, all alike demand her Democratic
vote in solid, unbroken, phalanx of command
ing strength. Regrets, Disappointment,
heart>burnings Prejudices-all must be
gathered and laid in one funeral pyre. upon
the altar of Principle. In that sign shall we
triumph

NOMINATIONS FOR THE LEGIS,
LATURE,

As will be seen by the proceedings pub
lished in another column the county conven>
ton have nominated for the House of Dele
gates, DR.. Isaac S. Tanner, residing near Shep
herdstown, and James, N. Mason, Esq, of
Charlestown, as the candidates of the Demo-
cratic Conservative party The former gen.
tIeman is too well and too favorabty known to
the people of this county to need word of
commentator from US. Eminent in his pro-
fession, firm and urwaveripg in his politics,
and right royalty brave and true>hearted in
every relation of life, he will carry into the
Assembly that weight and influence to which
Jefferson is entitled.
Mr. Mason is young gentleman of fine
genius-his future, bright with the reflection
of name second to none in the history of
Virginia, all before him. We regard his
election as foregone conclusion, and shall
follow his career in the halls of legislation
with deep interest

JEFFERSON COUNTY,


o. s. Long, Esq, Clerk of the Court of
Appeals and late editor of the Wheeling
Register, writes an interesting letter to that
paper, from which we take one or two ex>
tracts:
CHARLEsTowN, August Is.
Editors of the Register The charms of
the celebrated "Valley of Virginia" have
been often Wanted by delighted dwellers in
this favored spot and by enthusiastic tourists.
have frequently read, with semi-incredulity,
glowing descriptions of the pure air and
sparkling waters and fertile soil and beauteous
scenery of the Shenandoah Valley, but, af>
ter twice trayersing the valley from the Po-
tomac to Staunton, and after week delight
fol stay in Charlestowr, am prepared to en-
dorse all that has been said in praise of this
region and to admit that the most glow
ing description have heretofore seen gave
me but an indequate idea of the reality.
Referring to Charlestown and its surrounds
ings. he says:
will not attempt any ''fne writing" on
the subject, aud am resolved to quote no poetry
descriptive of The Meeting of the Waters
at Harper's Ferry, or the valley through
which Shenandoah brawls along" but in
the plainest and simplest phrase would invite
the readers of the Register to make a summer
tour in this locality and see and relish for
themselves.
The town itself still bears some marks of
tho ravages of civil war. The place where
John Brown was hung is still pointed out to
visitors; it is corn>ield now and here and
there are still seen desolate walls built of blue
limestone that once enclosed dwelling or a
mill. These ruins have nearly disappeared
within tn limits of the town, their site be-
ing now occupied by handsome modern build
ings of brick or frame, but they are still to be
seen in the country around and about Charles
town and would not fail to be observed and
remarked upon by tourist who had never
heard of the great war. Still, the recupera>
tive energy of the people of this valley has
been wonderful. During four years the tide
of battle swept to and fro over these fair fields
and the return of peace found the people both
impoverished and disheartened But this
splendid soil knew no encouragement. With
very slight tickling, it laughed in abundant
harvests; the earth brought forth its in
crease and the farmers of the Shenandoah
Valley, in their anxiety where to store or sell
their crops, soon forgot the pcrils of the war
and the apparent poverty in which they were
left at its close. They have as handsome and
valuable portion of Gods country" as the
sun ever shone upon, and are withal as eour-
teous and hospitabte and intelligent peo>
pie as ever cultivated aud enjoyed "the time
ly fruits of earth
