OF
HON. PHILIP X. GLEED.

MoRRIsvILLE, VT, JAN. II, 1877.
DR.. s. w. SMYTu:
Dear Sir Il take the opportunity again
to express my gratitude for the great ben
eft received under your treatment some
seven years since. At that time / was
suffering from catarrhal affection and ul-
cerated sore throat, which had impaired
my general health to an alarming extent.
l had been under the care OF some of the
best regular physicians both in this place
and Burlington, had received no pcrma-
nent benefit but was rapidly and surely
growing worse, when consulted you. l
saw you but once, yet after following up
your prescribed remedies for few weeks,
the throat troubles entirely disappeared,
and my general health became as good as
formerly. 1t is but just to add, that DUR
ing this lapse Of time, the disease has
never again appeared.
l would also say in behalf OF Mrs.
Gleeu that your treatment Of her case for
Bronchial catarrh some four years since,
was very successful, efiecting cure in
two or three months. Most earnestly
can recommend you to my friends and
the public at large as physician descrv-
ing the utmost confidence.
Very respectfully yours,
PHILIP X. GLEED.

restored to the ancient and respectable ham,
let now called HiXburg. (What profana-

He will of course be much embarrassed as

The New York Tribune says that Judge
CRAWFORD, of Georgia, declares that when
in Washington, at the beginning OF the
civil war, and trying to obtain peaceful re-
cognition OF the Southern Confederacy, he
found Secretary SEWARD opposed to hos
tilities and fayoring the plan allowing the
seeding States to depart in peace, though
unwilling to acknowledge the independ-
ence Of the Coniederacy. she openly ex-
pressed the opinion, also, that NIL that re-
NAMED to be done in the premises was to
walt quietly, and in three years even South
Carolina would be knocking again at the
door Of the Union for admittance.''
Which is a good proof that SEWARD was
statesman. Nothing is more certain than
that Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina,
Kentucky, and Missouri would, in the case
supposed, have continued in the Union !;
and the demand Of the people Of the Gulf
States for commercial relations and postal
facilities with the Union would have COM
PEELED those States to return to their places,
Just as the people Of Texas forced that State
TO enter the Union. But folly carried the
day. and a million Of lives were los, and ten
thousand millions of dollars were expended,
20 produce result that would have come
about OF itself. s..

'Ehe Lower Valley.

WINCHESTER, May II, 1877.
To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch :
sSeneX,' evidently Il stranger here,
writes from this town a communication
published in the Richmond Wing Of May
10th, in which, speaking of his trip from
Staunton here, he says sat one point we
would find Holiday and Malone talked
about as the favorite candidate, at another
Malone and Daniel, or Malone and Talia-
ferro or Lee. But this we were struck
with, we found Malone eUery,chere."
The "Old Mans" sense of hearing is de-
fectiYe, or else he has been most woefully
imposed upon. Between this place and
Staunton there are ninety-two mile-posts.
and we venture to say that in that distance
there cannot be found man for each post
to prefer Malone to any one OF the candi-
dates named. OF course he could not have
meant although his language bears that in
terpretation) that he had seen Il single man
who preferred Malone to Holiday; for
none such exists between these two noun
tains.
Why Malone should be so unpopular in
the Valley this writer does not know, but
OF two things he is well assured-trst, that
his almost unanimous appropriately is an
established fact; and, secondly, that it is in
no way attributable to Colonel Holidays
candidacy.
At this place, where Holiday resides and
is well known, you scarcely ever hear Sec
ond choice mentioned, and it may therefore
be said that the claims OF General Malone
are seldom spoken of. 1t is indeed due to
the influence of Holiday and his nearest
frinds that the canvass in these parts has
been sought to beso conducted that we may
earnestly and warmly support whoever may
be the nominee, and as result it has hap
pened that Malone is scarcely mentioned
except in kindly terms. Unfortunately, this
is not true in the upper Valley and the re-
gion Of Virginia north Of the Rappahan-
mock. His nomination, were such thing
regarded as among the probabilities, would
be received very coldly, if, indeed, it could
at all rally the Conservative vote.
General Mahone's high qualities are held
in esteem by many persons, but his admirers
in this section do not wish to see him made

MAY ID, 1871.
TO the Richmond Dispatch:
While it is natural to admire the varied
abilities of the different candidates for Gov
ernor, the eXgencies of the period demand
that we look a little deeper into this matter.
In this as in all other important affairs there
is fitness OF things that should rise far
above the clamor of section, the tumult Of
faction, and the greed OF place. 1t argues
badly for the good OF Virginia that her pco-
pie do not yet realize the Importance OF dis
carding every local and personal feeling, the
better to ascertain her wants and the proper
mode OF relief. Her public men, her press,
and her Legislature agree that capital
is the sovereign power on which her
welfare and the long-delayed prosper
ity of her people depend. Ii this be
true, why should we pirate about the
claims of sections, and other pretensions
that are wholly unmeaning in this connec-
ton, when every consideration OF public
veal clearly points to the only real test Of
fitness to be thought OF by rational men. In
a word, why don't the public men of Fir-
ginia address themselves to the task OF find
ing the man who is best qualified to induce
capital into our midst and unite OH him ?
thus presenting to the people the true issue
upon which the approaching contest should
depend? Is it wise to seek to make issues
that are the. merest decisions the means and
themselves the instruments Of their con-
tinued poverty and distress, when the path
of duty and deliverance is at once so clear

Consider it Well,

An attempt is being made in Louisville,
KY, to obtain subscription from that cor
poration in aid Of the Irvine and Three
forks railroad. This road il constructed
will tap country which after the csnstruc-
ton Of the Lexington and Big Sandy road
will have very much shorter route to Lou
isville, and the only party who will profit
by the scheme is the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad, with whose branch road the
new line will connect. .......
II Louisville expects Richmond to aid in
constructing the Lexington and Big Sandy
railroad-the only extension OF the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad leading to her
gates-would it not be well for her to con.
slider how far it is advisable for her to in
lure its prospects?
