lAUoUlER WHITE SULPHUR, July 2S,-
While was at Cd Point last week | had long
and interesting interview wiki General Malone
on the pcliic,l prospects of tie State, and
we're | not pledged in ad7arc> to accept
all OF bis views as confidential, ! would give
much 10 be able to place tias interview before
thu public; but this, Of curse, | cannot do.
Ono thing is cer;ain, 70 one can fail to be i'm
pressed With the belief that RIahono is in dead
earnest when he claims 10 be able to csty The
independent electoral ticket By q heavy ma
jority.
The approaching political struggle between
the two factions o! the democratic party is we'll
calculated 10 fill every thoughtful man with
alarm. 1t will not do TO shut cur eyes to the
power CT The reaG]ustCrs IS we'll IS their pres
tige. 1t is we'll known truism 10 politics as
well as 10 var. That it is tho height Of folly to
underIato your adversary" aud can Tell sou,
will have to strain every nerve.
Probably there is 20 man 10 Virgins who
has greater facilities 10 Judge eff the drift of
popular sentiment aud the beat Of the political
pulse iu this State than tho writer, fer IS it is
| am continually travelling through ell sections
of the Old Dominion, aad can truly say that
the organic ,tion of the reaGjusters is, as gen,
eral thing, intact. Not ouly this, bat 10 the
tdswatcr region the msority CT Tie negroes,
uuder tho lead Of Ntr.eu, will support tho MAJ
homo ticket. as will many other oolorcd voters
throughout the State. This heing so, the aacs
tioo stises can We beat them? | think VIC can
beyond shadow Of doubt, if We have q good
leader to run cur oEmpaign.
This brings me TO the rith OF this lotler.
There is no sensible man who will dispute tie
truth that there must be o1e sole head to coo.
duct Any political csnDaigu, just ss there must
be one supreme ctleitsia IN loiVo hcs;ilities,
who has unlimited, u0cocsrailcI, and absolute
power. S1eh man must be born With tina!
talent 10 lead men.
10 this impendirg COZ hc! 10 our State, Wo
see Iho rcaajustcrs With onn head to direct cad
crsGoizo its movements. On tho fu1Gor side
wo have an executive committee it is true, but
no leader who has the capacity to fiji tho place.
ard the party Is just 10 such condition as 1hen
tho Immortal Logan ran the disastrous cam
psign ct last fall. Now it is rot wise TO risk
tho management Of this campaign 10 uutried
hands when Opposed by sach suptriativeIy
good orgaDiZ3r &c General MahOro. We nust
match hin. Can be be fouad natd but 10
designate MIN, and every one will see the pccu-
liar hsness OF the man for the place. He lives in
Rockingham, and his rsino is J Ohm r. Harris
With tho sole execution Ct tho lead:r of the 70.
aGiusiefs himself, john Harris is the most ts-
tu'c political msnager, So well as tho most
shrcTt. sagaclcus, long hcaded. keep sighted
politician 10 Virgins. II there is auy oUo who
car Oh Mahoac, john T. is the m;n who
oGn. lie il g splendid orRapz :, and kuogs
thoroughly every s:0iCn in V!rgiua ns vol ~
everybody.
Nosi;t!cStGte cz cu:ivc committee ri meet,
lei th3lr Erca2ut chaicna1 resign and mace
the member ii Corg'ess from Rockingham 10
his plsc!, thus maSiGg him tho sole head OF tho
iurder Crxa1z ,son. lhn let tho Hoa. John
Harris make bis headquarters ia hichmcot,
work u3 and bring order cut Of chaos, and or.
gan'zs tho psriy until it is like O WILL drilled
army. lot him have unlimited money aud ur.
limited rover, ard lot him not cavo biz chair
until the ldcs OF November have cymo and gone,
and if Vo don't beat The rcadiustcIs GU OF their
boots then there is ono man who will, like the
guardian 10 BLEAK House." eat his own head.
Organic :tion is the secret OF SUCCESS. When
two parties arc nearly equal, tho party best Or
ganlz.d is the psrty that siE!; cry focl can u1-
deTstapd that.
IL is toe h'2 'rdJus 10 pit o1r fresh, uu.rit
committee against the Veteran Malone. But
With such thorough organizer as John L.
Harris, W. could feel that Greek had ne. Greek,
and that tho vast resources Of the furders cjuld
then be placed to srl.ldid advantage. Harris
running this campaign would mako difference
ct ten Thousand votes.
Tho Gght OF our new committee against tho
wig sGgGnious Malone Is but pn'6 point
against the spear of Peiacs. but il Harris is
called upon by the party 20 accep! the manage
n2ot CT tho clmpaign, then will be seen ,hc
most brilliant campaign ev.r inangurs,cd 10
Virginia. John L. Harris was hcra ptli;-
can, srow up enc, aud know5 every trick, ar.i
Gcs snd mar lvro Of that b,wildarus game.
Wh!io in Norfolk | regretted to hear ths.
John Good6 would not cJ1so1t to run ag,in ror
Co1g'ess. Mr.. Goodc, as far as Us full lcss
goes. stands head and shoulders above the whole
Vilgiuia delegation. A wild as:crtaio, sou will
say. bu; fGc:s are stubborn things, und tho mere
rcitG! Of what the talented member IRON Nor
folk did for bis constituents during tho last SOS.
sion will show bis worth aud prove ny state
nent. lis secured in the appropriations $685.,
coo fer the Improvement of the Pcmuuky. tho
CA;ckabonicy, tho B.ackwatcr, aud Pagan
Cro2k. Flo baRgad 500, 900 for tho yorktown
monument, $50, 1000 for tho Yorktown couten.
NAL, $50, 600 for SEQ wall! ard $4,000 for
timber sheds. besides taxing in his districts
share Of the 1862 35G for general naval purposes.
What member from Virginia csa show such
return as that. Some Of the members Of tie
Virginia delegation havo not benefited thor
constituents G0e cents worth. And yet suoh
valuable representative will bo compelled to de-
clue the nomination because the rsaGiustc!s
declare he supported tho MoCulloch bill. cad
they will not vote for him. 1t is q t,avesty o.
human nature. Such case rtmiads ono of
scoue in on old English lsy called "Fssbicn:"

Colonel La Mode. "But you shall rever
marry him !"
"He loves me.
Bat he shall neyer wed yon!'
"He is we'll born and rich"

why not, my fathet?'
