DAILY AND TRLWEEKLY BY
EDGAR SNOwDEN-
WEDNESDAY EVENING. APRIL II, 1877.

The Gazette IS asked to explain why It Is
that the Fredericksburg miers buy wheat con-
stautly in Alexandria if the prices here are
higher than at Fredericksburg -
1t is true that nearly every week car lead
or 90 of wheat is purchased in this market tor
Fredericksburg millers, aud at prices ssreral
cents alore the highest Fredericksburg quota
lions, which is accounted Tor by the fact that
Alexandria, having so many sources OF supplies
from various sectioos OF the State, places in
her market an assortment of wheat from which
millers can select to suit their different wants.
Those requiring wheat for high grade fancy
four prefer the "long berg Lancaster,
which is raised in great perfection land taken
care of by the Loudoua aad Valley farmers.
Such wheat to-day is worth $l.S7 in our mar
ket, while the very highest quotation IN the
Baltimore market is but Sl.S3.
The fact Of Alexandria's superior facilities
for receiving such large and varied qualities OF
wheat draws to her market purchasers from
different sections, those from Fredericksburg
wanting one kind, those from Philadelphia an
other, those FROM Norfolk another, and those
from New England still different quality from
either, and when surplus Of any kind accumu'
lates Alexandria merchants have enterprise
enough to ship it of to Europe or elsewhere to
ind the most favorable market for it.
These are the reasons why Alexandria, re-
ceiviug annually over million bushels Of grain
affords better and stealier market to The
farmers to sell iu than one receiving scarcely
one tenth that quantity, and which is glutted
at times with that.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Evening Express has the following in
reference to the next Goverporship ofVirginia:
An absorbing topic for discussion among the
many VlrgiGlans now visiting the capital is an
unusually large number OF candidates named
Tor the Governorship cf that State. 1t seems
that the agrculturists feel aggrleved at the fact
that for thirty years no one who could be strict
ly cassed as farmer has filled that Office, and
hence have determined to put forward candi.
date, and they mention Robert Beverly, of
FauQuier county, as one suitable to present for
competition with the many very capable gen.
tlemen whose names have been brought for
ward.
Mr.. Beverly, while truly farmer, is at the
same time really able business man, and has
so conducted his affairs as to accumulate large
fortune by his successful management
He is liberal in his expenditures and hospi.
tally, and has devoted large part Of his time
and money to sustain the charitable and literary
institutions of the State, seeming to be equally
at home and useful in the council board az 10
bis own broad harvest fields.
If Mr.. Beverly should become the Governor
We shall expect to see an Immediate revival Of
the credit OF that State and very considerable
increase in the value Of her lands, resulting
from the rapid immigration which would re-
suit from policy which so earnest and success
tul business man and farmer as MIR. Beverly
would be certain to inaugurate.
