POWHATAN COUNTY.


Editors Dispatch; 1t was my good for.
tune to attend Il meeting OF the citizens OF
Powhatan at Powhatan station, on We'd
nesday, 22d Of October, to hear the debt
question discussed by Dr.. Walker, the Con-
by others. Dr.. Walker was promptly on
hand, and we found him most agreeabi Bile
and intelligent gentlemen, such Us only
Virginia could rear in her palmy ante-6el-
lu7n DAYS. He is fully abreast Of the times,
and thoroughly conYersant with the great
financial question 10 all its phases and reia-
lions. All of the Powhatan people VINO
are alive 10 their true interests will give
him their earnest support. On the.arrlVal
OF the 1:3O train we were glad to see Mr.. q.
A. Hancock step on the platform, Tor we
knew he was genuine Funder, and is al
WAYS ready to give other people the beneht
of his honest convictions.
A meeting being called and the necessary
officers elected DR.. Walker proceeded to
address the people in manner that showed
that, Us their choice for the Senate, he was
the right man in the right place. He took
the high ground occupied by the Conserva-
tive party, and eXhurted bis audience to
stand by the honor of the old State; to
struggle bravelv under misfortune and
poverty to resist the encroacbment
OF the old fields OF pine and broom.

Ito avoid as a 'sdelusion and snare !" the
beds OF ingorons euse and the tangled
mazes that lead to degradation and dis.
honor-the only real inducements offered
by the Readiusters. AS member OF the
next Senate, DR.. Walker will be an orna-
ment to that body, and will reflect credit on
the people who had the good taste to give
him their votes.
DR.. Walker was followed by Mr. Han
cock, who began in his usual happy style
and went on to give some very Weignty rea'
sons whv the people of v irginia should sup.
port the McCuloch bill. Mr.. Hancock was
very clear throughout. and his reference te
