My friend Captain Gibboney had
seen all this so often that he rested
while explored, but my explorations
were limited to 10 minutes, at the
end OF which time we had to start on
our return, using a different route
tkan that by which we came. Dur
ing the morning we passed down the
northern base of the Iron Mountain,
passing around tie end of j., where
New River cuts it in two and up the
South side Of it to the mines. We
determined to pass up the Southern
base OF it on our return, until we could
strike the Grayscr pike road, and by
that route cross the Iron Mountain to
Wytheville. We passed through a
great deal Of fertile country, crops
looked well and everywhere the

DEATH OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

Hon. Raleigh Travers Daniel,
Acknowledgement for Virginia,
died last Thursday afternoon, less
than week from the date of his
unanimous nomination for re-elec~
ton. Very high honors are paid
to the memory of Mr.. Daniel
Some of the ablest men in the
State pronounce the opinion that
he was one of the most profound
and learned lawyers that ever
adorned the bar Of Virginia. By
his mothers side of the family he
was, we believe, a third cousin to
George Washington.
There is no law governing the
party in filling this blank Oh the
new ticket The Petersburg PosT
urges tho assembling Of new
convention, mt the other dallles OF
the State, as far as yet heard from,
favor a nomination by the new
State Committee. The STATE and
the ENQuTRER urge the nomina-
ton of Major John W. Daniel
The names OF Gen. Field, of Gull
peper, Col. Goodwin, of Ports
mouth, Mckinney, of Farmville,
Judge Meredith and John s. Wise
are also urged for the nomination.
If Governor Kemper should APP
point n successor, we presume he
will appoint the coming nominee.
We presume he will appoint a sue
cessor for the unexpired term.

TIE PLATEOISNI.

In the excitement and furious
establishment that followed the
work of the Richmond ConvenN
ton, the Funders began to declare
loudly that they had carried every-
thing, and that they had rescued
the "honor and virtue" of the
Commonwealth. They sent off
kilograms inten led to bull the
market for State bonds. But,
though bonds had fallen during the
canvass one-sixth Of their previous
market value, they have, rs yet,
recovered only one eighteenth of it.
Since smoke has rolled away CAPT
talists are disposed to take a sober
view of things, and when they are
told that REIMBURSEMENT has been
killed in Virginia they refuse to
sec it so. The truth stands out
that fcI the first time the question
of the public debt has been gotten
before tho people, and there is no
longer way to blind them to truth
of our painful situation. The peo-
pie begin to say that these same
Funders, who clamor about the
honor and credit of the State, are
the very men who, when the hands
of Virginia were tied and her des-
TIMES were committed 20 strange
hands, invaded her capitol, and in
a night destroyed her "honor and
credit" 10y bribing tho Funding
Bill through the Legislature

this outrage, then, but not til then,
