LETTER FROM LEESBURG.
of the Alexandria GAzErr

Correspondence OF the Alexandria GAZErrE.l
LEEsBURG, Va, Sept 10, 1SS5.-The NOM
nation of General Lee by the Richmond
convention filled US 30 full OF joy and glad
ness that we laid aside ell our little griev-
ances for the time and have not afflicted
either you or your readers with line
since. Even now we are politically happy,
for the democratic sky in Virginia was
never brighter. General Lee will sweep the
State.
Our Legislative candidate was nominated
by reclamation and will be elected, as he
deserves to be, ditto. Just now he may
think he is having hard road 10 travel, as
local option delegations are on his trail
seeking this and that pledge from him, and
while they are all instigated by the re-
publicans, we are sorry to sec them aided
by those who claim to be as good democrats
as we are. They seek pledges from him to
weaken his vote and thereby disturb our
party organization but it wont do; John +.
is made of sterner stuff, aud the wiles of the
enemy will not prevail with him.
While it seems probable that a part Of
the Fauquer delegation is not favorable to
the denomination of Major Heaton for the
Senate and Col. Smith for floater candidate
TO the Legislature, yet we hope the solid
voice of Loudoun in their behalf will be
potent. They have been good and faithful
public servants and merit, and we are sure
will receive, the endorsement of the joint
convention.
Times are very slow here now; but the
announcement of q speech from Maj. Barton
next Monday will bring us a crowd, and
then the fair begins Tuesday, and promises
to be great success, as many interesting
races are booked, and much fine stock en-
tered already. So next week we hope will
be fair week in more ways than one.
Things have frightened materially for
the farmer; the corn is good; grass is doing
finely, and the weather is favorable for
seeding, and while hard times and low
prices are a drawback, We can but hope for
better times soon.
We still have one little grievance that the
present administration should adjust, and
one we think that deserves the special at.
tention of our representative, and that is the
Purcellvlle postof1ice. There is no charge
against the present postmaster, except that
he was Malone appointee, for to his credit
be it said that he is better than the best OF
them, but the people have almost unani-
mously endorsed democrat for the posi-
ton, an active, energetic, working man, who
merits the emoluments and deserves the re-
ward; why then delay? 1t adds no strength
to the party to postpone these matters.

GENERAL MALONE says: "We can all
rest assured that there will be no more slum'
boring, nor peace, nor quiet%in this country
until Bourbon force and fraud end-for end
they must, and at once, or there will be
war;" Well, there is neither bourbon force
nor fraud used by the democrats in this
country, but if there must be the sort of war
the General refers to in Virginia, why, let
it come for as all the white people in the
State will be on one side,a and all the negroes
on the other and, beside, as the former are
in the majority, it would soon be over, and
that, too, with no danger of its recurrence.
But what sort of man can he be who
would incite such a war?

THE RIVAL YACHTS.

crowd of men hung about Poillion's
ship ward, Brooklyn, yesterday and gazed
on the broken parts of the Genesta's bow
spirit, which parted Tuesday, in collision
with the Puritan. Nearly all the splinters
we're cut off and carried away by relic hum
ters The spar was found to be a very infe'
rior grade of wood. The regatta committee
hunted among the pile of lumber at the
ward for suitable stick for new spar.
About fifty logs were rejected before salts,
factory one was found. 1t was beautlful
log of Georgia pine without layer, riit or
knot. It was rounded Oft at length OF
fifty three feet six inches, about fifteen 10.
ches thick, with square surface where 1t
fits in at the bows inboard and was finished
about 8 o'clock yesterday and rubbed down
with shelac The copper bobstay Of the
Genesta, an inch and a half thick and six
feet long. which was bent double in the col
lision, was Strengthened out and is in perfect
condition. The Puritan's crew unbent the
foot of her mainsail, and by three o'clock q
sailmaker had repaired the rent made by
the Genesta's bowsprit.
Capt. Croker, of the Puritan, says be
tried to avoid the accident, and that he had
no intention of sharp practice; that he tried
to get away clear, and failed by about q
foot. Sir Richard Sutton, in letter to Mr..
Forbes yesterday, acknowledged his letter
of apology, but politely declined to allow
the Puritan's owners to pay for such trihing
damage. Both yachts have had their bulls
polished; sails and rigging overhauled and
repaired, and crews thoroughly drilled and
disciplined. Neither has any complaints or
excuses; neither could be in better condi-
ton for the contest Of Friday.
The Puritan's dimensions are as follows
Length over all, So feet; length on water
line, so feet, extreme beam, % feet inches,
and draught of water, feet. Her mast is
| rs feet long, with topmast OF Al feet; main
boom, 7G4 feet, and gaf, AZ feet; bowsprit
cupboard, 3S feet. She carries 81 tons of
ballast on her keel and II tons more inside,

before the mast, but carries twenty
two hands when racing. The Genesta

with beam of Is feet, and draws Is

to hounds, and her topmast Al feet from lid
to sheavehoe. Her boom is 70 feet and
the gaff DC feet long. The bowsprit out
board is 3G feet s inches. She carries a
spinnaker boom 81 feet long, and the spirit
| to her gaff topsail is 60 feet long.
The cup to be sailed for was won by the
American yacht America, in 1851, in the
international race at Cowes, England. It

THEINFLUx ofnegroes from the South into
the Northis enecting revolution in the ideas
ofthe people of the latter section respecting
the whipping post. Instead Of deeming that
mode of punishment degrading and inhu-
man, as they formerly did, some of the most
ultra Northern newspapers sre now open
advocates of its use, The fear of physical
pain is the only thing that willdeter brute
from the commission of crime to which he
is inclined. Confinement, with quarters
more comfortable and food better and more
abundant than they are accustomed to, has
no fears for them; they rather like it, espe-
cially in cold weather.

Sullivan and Ryan.

Boston, Sept. 10.-There is every reason
to believe that the proposed fight between
Sullivan and Paddy Ryan on the 26th inst.
will not take place. Sullivan is under a
two weeks engagement with minstrel
troupe, beginning September 2lst, and can
not make a match with any one during
that time. When the engagement is ter
minated Sullivan says he will be ready to
meet all corners.

war

AS WITH the late Russian English, SO
with the more recent Spanish. German
affair, there never was any real danger of
war, to those who were even ordinary obser-
vers Of surface indications. The unsettled
condition of popular feeling in Europe now,
aud the possible complications and uncer-
tain eventuaites of any war that might &C.
cur there, arc sufficient to prevent all the
monarchical governments Of that continent
from inaugurating one, because none could
be commenced whose end could be foretold.
Such governments may fight the half civil
lied people of Asia and Africa, but the risks
are too great under existing circumstances
to permit them to fight each other, if it be
possible for them to avoid war.

GENERAL MAHoNE, through his personal
organ, says that heretofore Virginia repub-
licans have been regarded and treated by
their own party in the North as "a nui-
sance hardly less troublesome to Northern
republicans than to Southern bourbons."
But what else could have been expected
when the General, through the same organ,
endorsed the opinion that Virginia republic
cans are "apostates for the price of their
apostacy"?

sit quietly and hear Mr.. Davis abused with

are loyal citizens. Among the former he

General Malone and prolfered him his own

There is no doubt Of the fact that the Cen
erai is making desperate attempt to cap
ture enough of the close counties IN the
State TO secure his own re election TO the
Senate. and that he will be materially as
sisted by the republicans in the North. But
this fact should only increase the efforts OF
the democrats to Illustrate that attempt oy
the use of every legitimate means in their
power. The General will probably have
plenty of money, but he is sadly handicap
ped by the unreliability of his disburslng
agents. The democrats also should be I'D
erally supplied with campaign funds by the
rich men Of their party. Every dollar sup
nlied to their fund will be devoted to its in
tended purpose.
