A correspondent of the Petersburg Iudex
writing from Dinwiddie County. 10 which an
election was held last Thursday to 6ll the va
caucy in the House OF Delegates occasioned by
the expulsion of Rufhu, says: TIE RAIDS bad a
stormy time here to-day. It seems that jim
Cox, who was the choice Of the colured portion
Of the party, was thrown overheard oy a CON-
mi,tee acting 10 the interest of the Smith wing.
The two parties met here today Matthews
(colored) said that DR.. Smith bought Cox of
for I've dollars. Cox called Matthews liar,
and said that Matthews received sixteen dol
lars from Smith. with the promise of sixteen
more for throwing him ont. Whereupon Mat
toeWs called Cox liar, and the excitement
about thi. time became intense. But Matthews
said: II dom: wan, TO hurt you, jim, cause
We bof long to de same church.
4 lively time WAS 10 prospect, but just at
this time Mr. Hobbs aud policeman rode up
10 buggy. The colored people all thought
they were after Rufho, who, they had just
heard, had been indicted 10 Richmond, SO they
scattered in every direction, it is supposed, to
let Rufin know that he was wanted.

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.

Gen. Fitzhugh Lees address at the celebra-
ton of the 22d of February, 10 this city, was
brimful of patriotism, and his illusions to Bos'
ton, conceived in tho kindliest spirit, we're e1.
pressed in terms of the warmest affection and
praise. In abiding to the late visit of the
Norfolk Blues TO Boston, he said Boston had
been captured by the display Of fraternity,
good will and patiotic devotion to the memories
and the principles of the men who fell at Bun
ker Hill by the Southern soldiers who enjoyed,
on that occasion, the hospitaliies of Massachu-
setta in the same spirit that their forefathers
had enjoyed like reception in that State in
ITS. At the celebration here there were
Union sentiments avowed, there were at least
ten thousand Union devices displayed, and
leading Uoion men we're invited to take part
in the procession and did so, and officers of
both the Confederate and Union armies rode
side BY side, and served on the same commit
tees. The thousands in Alexandria on that
day, and the thousands more who read the
extended report published in the Gazette
know this, and yet the Lockport, n. l.,
Journal expresses itself IS follows
'Tbe people who toadied to Fitz Hugh Lee
at the Bunker Hill celebration 10 Boston, last
spring, will doubtless be pleased and gratl6ed
to learn that at the recent celebration OF ash
inston's birthday in Alexandra, Va, that ar
rant ex rebel took occasion to say that he re-
gretsed no act of his life, AID to sneerlogy
boast that be captured Boston upon the occa-
sion to which we have referred. At the cee'
bration there were no UnioD sentiments avow-
ed, DO Union devices displayed, and 20 Union
men invited to join 10 the proceedings. Com
ment is unnecessary upon such proceeding.
Secession is not dead, and its followers at home

We stated the other day, in noticing the ap-
pointment of Mr. Dana to the vacancy existing
by reason of the acceptance Of the resignation
of Gen. Scheuck as Minister to England, that
the only wonder about the appointment was
that the President should have made 1t. The
New York Herald says: "Grant is praised
great deal for such appointments as those OF
Mr.. Dana and Judge Taft; but when man
finds that the only way to keep his whole ad-
ministratiou out of State Prison is to change
his system of appointments, We cannot see that
virtue practised under such pressure is worthy
very great praise. 1t has taken Grant great
while to find out that there is any one else IN
this country besides his personal friends, and
be might never have learned this If the dis
covery had not been forced upon him BY the
fact that bis friends are so generally dishonest
men. Discoveries made in such circumstances
are not entitled to medals.

John Roach, the experienced steamship
builder has addressed letter to the Postmas-

vertising for proposals of the lowest rates for
the transportation of the United States mails,
atwhich the merchants and capitalists OF Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New
Orleans will establish and maintain American
steamship lines to European ports. His idea
should, by all means, be adopted, aud if the
navy yards should be abolished and the work
now done at them put out to contract, millions
would be saved. If, however, the present sys'
tenn of navy yards is to be continued, the al
most inaccessible one now located on the East
srn Branch of the Potomac should certainly be
moved at once to this city

Coal FREIGHTs. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company has reduced it's rates on coal
from Cumberland to Baltimore Is cents per ton.
The Cumberland AlIeganiau says: From Cuu-
berland to Baltimore by railroad the freight is
81 O5 and the wharfage at Locus Point is Is
ceDts making 10 all 81 80. By canal, the
freight charge at the closing rates oflast season
"a minimum estimate-was $I.l5; toll 81
cents ; boat toll cents. wharfage at tide water
25 cents, making a total Of 81 IS, which would
give the canal advantage by IS cents, did not
26 cents have to be deducted tberefrom, on ac-
count of the greater market value Of coal ship
ped by rail. 1t will be seen then that the mar
gin 10 favor of the canal is just 10 cents. 1t is
evideot, however, that by means Of the new
lock at Georgetown whereby the coal is taken
directly from the canal boats to the vessels there
will be less handling of coal shipped by canal
than formerly, and therefore such coal must
CORRESPONDENCE rise 10 market value.
