State who have been in Charlottesville this

and especially is this true with regard to
the Valley. A gentleman from that section
who has ample opportunity OF knowing
whereof he speaks told me that Rocking

The grandest Democratic rally that has
ever taken place on the Peninsula came off
here tonight. The speakers were General
Fitz Lee, Judge Isaac Christian, and John
Hunter, Jr., OF Richmond. They were
met at the depot by large crowd and well
coined with cheers and salute from cam
non. The ladies OF Williamsburg who
graced the occasion presented the speakers
with some beautiful flowers. To one Of
the bouquets was attached card containing
the following words To General Fitz Lee.
Compliments OF Miss Julia VI. Armistead.
General Lee made 4 great speech, and
was cheered to the echo, rs were the other
speakers. and the applause was accom-
panied with a discharge from cannon.
The MahOneites tried to get up an Opposl-
ton meeting, and having yelled for short
time over the way, dispersed. Our crowd
was the largest ever gathered in this town
since the war. The excitement is intense
all along the line. The whole Peninsula
is ablaze. General Lee addressed the peo-
pie at BarhamSvillc, New Kent county,
this morning. where a large barbecue was
held. A mass-meeting Of the Democrats
in the lower part OF York county also came

The following resolutions, sent to this
Office FOR publication, explain themselves:
We. the undersigned. ReadiuStcrs OF
Roanoke county, believing that The candi-
date for the Senate, James +. Eskridge,
was not the choice OF the people, and that
the means by which he obtained his nOmi- |
nation were unfair: and whereas the ac-
ton OF the Hon. William Malone in send |
ing his henchmen and emiSsarie, into this |
district for the purpose OF influencing the |
nomination, and thereby running man
of his own choice; and whereas we con- !
slider such Interference uncalled for and !
unnecessary, we form the following reso- |
lutiOns
I. Resolved, That we will not support |
James Il. Eskridge under any circum- |
stances, and will do all in our power to re-
buke the insolent attempt to rob us OF our !
right and privilege to select our Standard
bearers.
.. ReSOlred. We denounce all outside iu- |
reference from any source whatever, and |
consider the Convention held in the coun- !
~ OF Craig rs not true expression OF the |
voters OF craig county; and whereas we
have always held the opinion that the peO-
pie are the proper ones to select their
men, VI must refuse 10 endorse James +. |
Eskridge, whom we believe TO be, and |
whom we regard, As the prey OF William
Malone. j. :. BAER.
