ATTORNEY GENERAL

Mr. Editor-Among the distinguish
ed gentlemen whose names nave been
mentioned in connection with the Office
of Attorney General for the State Of
West Virginia, and whose friends are
urging their nomination, not one, 1t
strikes US. is entitled to higher consider
alton than that OF the Hon. Thomas L..
Brouu, of Charleston. Kanawha county.
There being no aspirant for this honor
from this part of the State, we take the
greatest pleasure in presenting and ad-
yocating the claims Of Major Broun for
this officp. Born and educated in old
Virginia. graduate of distinction OF
her honore3 University-always con-
sistent Democrat and States rights man
"A lawyer OF large experience and great
ability, and more than all, Christian
gentleman of the highest character.
With such qualifications, we have no
hesitation in thinking Major Broan
would bring high honor to the Office OF
Attorney General and discharge its re-
sponsible duties with the strictest in
tegrity, impartiality and ability. In
these degenerated times, such men as
Maj. Broun are seldom found willing to
leave the quiet walk of private, to en-
gage in public life, and we earnestly hope
it will be the pleasure Of the people 10
show their appreciation Of this eminent
citizen by placing him in the honorable
position of Attorney General.

1t being understood that the Rev. Or.
Pendleton, the present able and efti-
Gent State Superintendent of Public
Schools, VIII not be candidate for re-
election-haying POSITIVELY declined the
use of his name for that purpose III the
nominating convention which will meet
next month,in Martinsburg-I hasten to
suggest our esteemed fellow-citizen, Pro
rEsog JOSEPH MCMURRAN, Principal OF
Shepherd College, as a most suitable
successor to DR.. Pendleton, and sincere
" hope that the convention will not
hesitate TO nominate him for the posi-
ton.
To those who do not know Prof. Ne
Murran, nothing more need lie
said to convince them of the propriety
OF bis nomination than TO assure them
of the fact, that his christian character,
scholarly attachments, business expe-
rience, and lifelong connection with the
cause of education, together with the
further fact, that he belongs TO the dom
inaut party in the county of Jefferson,
which gives the largest Democratic ma
io"ity OF any other county in the State,
fully Justify his friends in commencing
him to the favorable consideration Of
the convention, not only on the score
of his unbemished character, and m
questionable qualifications, bat likewise
as the most available candidate for State
Superintendent of Public Schools, that
can be named to give additional strength
to the Democratic ticket in this section
Of the State JEFFERSON.

John w. Leedy, the veteran mail carrl-
Ell of the world, so far as we know, ar
rive in Harrisonburg on his return trip
from Port Republic, in this county,
with the mail. To look at him, one
would not suppose that he was capable
of any great endurance, but when you
look up his "rs-cord" you will find that
he has gone through with what would
kill most men. He has been carrying
the United States mail for the past 25
years, and during that time he has rid
den the enormous aggregate of 32S,5S3
miles or an average of about forty miles
day for six days of each week for the
whole period If he had gone in a
straight line, he would have ridden
around the world about thirteen times.
lie was born in Charlestown, Jefferson
county, (now West Virginia,) and was
raised there, and came to Rockingham
during the John Brown raids plior to
the war, and has been here ever since.
He is only AZ years of age, and bids
fair to put in another 25 years of ser
vice. If he had been paid for every
mile be has ridden the price usually
charged for passengers on the railroad,
four cents per mile, he would have
made the handsome sum, in round num-
bers, of $4,000. We think Congress
should give him pension and put him
on the retired list.-Roekinghun, Reg

LEE AND DAvIs.-1n commnnica
ton from John w. Fairfax in the Alex
andria (Va.) Gozsne the following oc-
ours as a revelation:
"The seeded State lost life, liberty
and wealth for the want OF nerve in Mr..
Davis to make peace with President
Lincoln. Gen. Il. b. Lee told me the
night before we left Appomattox for
our homes that he urged Mr.. Davis, in
the presence of the Secretary OF War,
when the commissioners went TO Fort
ress Monroe to make peace upon any
terms. If you do not, 80 soon as the
spring opens to enable Gen. Grant to
move, he will break my lines at Peters
burg and take Richmond. Mr.. Davis
said, i am afraid of the people. In
honor to the memory of Gen. II. +.
Lee, here state what he further said,
to-wit Il believe Mr. Lincoln would
have given Us all we asked, except Sc
cession and slavery; but | believe he
would have agreed to pay for the slaves
at fair valuation. Mr.. Davis never gave
up the command of the army TO me to
do as l pleased, as was supposed; not
until | wrote him from Petersburg that
my lines were broken, then he wrote
me, 4 will leave Richmond tonight;
you do the best you can That was
the first time he had given up the com
mand to me to do as thought best,
leaving me to be sacrificed whilst he
fled to take care of himself. Hero the
good and great soldier became over
come, and left him alone in his tert,
where he had me called in, and he re-
viewed to me his course from the time
he left the odd army up to his surren-
der The fear OF the people cost the
lives and limbs of every one who was
lost from the time of the meeting of the
commissioners at Fortress Monroe up
to the surrender of Gen. Lee at Apo
mattox Court House"
