Beit axp Everett Cenrrat Union Civs.— Another meeting of this club, well attended, was held at Temperance Hall last night, the President, Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, Esq., in the chair. In taking his seat, the chairman gave his views briefly, of the as made upon him by the Breckinridge and ratification meeting at the bow 3 Hall on Monday night. He said that, not- withstanding, all vernment appliances, there was but little genuine enthusiasm, and the shafts of the orators, instead of being directed against the ‘common = the Republicans, were chiefly simed at Dougias and bis adherents” He referred also to what he called the scene at the White House, the President and one of his Secre- taries entering the political arena in behalf of the divided ticket, the former acknowledging that there was no regular Democratic nomination, and “be latter concluding bis harangue, not with an ‘argument, but a sneer at “‘ Abe fincas = in motion of Mr. W. B. Gary, it was Kesolved, That the club would attend ina body the Kell and Everett ratification meeti: » to be held at Farmington, Md ,on Tuesday, the 17th inst , and a committee was appointed iuaks ar- rangements for the trip. Dr. Thomas G. Clayton reported that a com- mittee bad waited on a Segar, Esq. a dis- tinguished member of the Virginia Legislature, and invited him to address the club. A prior business engagement prevented Mr. Segar from prey 2 with the 4 oy but he desired to as- sure the club that they bad every reason to perse- vere in their good work; that Virginia might be relied upon for Bell and Everett by a hani majority the rank and file of the democrac: being no longer willing to follow their scattered leaders. Dr. C. referred to what he termed the extraord|- nary fact, unparalleled in the annals of the country, of the President of the United States de- seending from his high ition to take part in the political strife of theday. He had graciously issued an ‘indulgence,’ proclaiming to “the faithful’? that as there was no regular democratic party nomination, they might vote for either of the candidates! How gracious! how condescend- ing!! hie. 3. S. Gallaber remarke# that his friend Dr. C., had omitted one {tem connected with the Presidential «‘indulgence.” It had been said of the Emperor Napoleon, when a vote was about to be taken in France upon the question of a ruler, that it was proclaimed that “every man might vote ashe pleased, but it was expected that he would vote the Emperor’s ticket” The President gave a like privilege, but every day's news informed us that every postinaster or other ublic officer, known or suspected to be a Doug- as man, was decapitated, and the guillotine was ready for further execution. Mr.G. did not like to be uncbaritable towards his democratic friends, in this, their dark hour of affliction. but he could net help remarking that it looked very much as if there was a design on baad of seceders to elect Lincoln President—for the very purpose, —— of having an excuse to dissolve the ‘nion. Atall events their movements were tend- ing to that result, unless the masses should dis- regard their counsels, and rally for Bell and Everett. He was happy to say, in his capacity of Corresponding Secretary, that he bad inform- ation which satisfied him that the Union ticket would be ahead of all others in the electoral col- leges, and he exhibited statistics in support of his opinion As a further evidence that the seceders were bent on mischief. or were “hoping against hope,”? Mr. G. cited the fact that the President's branch of the democracy in Illinois had nominated Thos. M. = for Governor, against James C. Allen, (late ‘k of the House of Kepresentatives,) the regular nominee. This was evidently done to take the State from Douglas and give it to Lin- coin. Mr. G. also referred to the fact that the seceders were fighting for nn abstraction in their platform, whilst their Senators had dodged the issue, when Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, invited them to “intervene”? for the protection of slavery in Kansas. Only three democrats voted for a practical test in regard to Kansas, whilst thirty of heim voted in the negative. This proved that they merely kept alive the issue to inflame the public mind fn the South. Mark, too, the cool- ness with which they lay claim to ‘‘nationality.”” Elghty southern men secede from the Baltimore Convention, are followed by only sixteen from tne North, and of these latter thirteen are otfice- holders. Mr. H.N Gallaher, editor of the Virgint Press, being present was loudly called fi made a brief response, referring to the % that he came from the district represented so ably by bis gallant friend Boteler, whose election against democratic odds in the district proved that the opposition only needed confidence to carry Bell and Everett, as they did Boteler, triumphanti That confidence was growing daily.

Three hearty cheers were then given for Bell and Everett, and the Club adjourned in fine spirits, to meet on Thursday evening next Tue Baecxtynipor aso Lanz Meetine tn AL- exanoRia Last Nicht.— The Gazette of this morning says: ‘‘The nominationsof Breckinridge and Lane were ratified in this city by a mass meeting held in Liberty Hall last night. The meeting, pursuant to notice. assembled in front of the Lyceum Hall. The building and its vicinity had been adorned for the affair with great taste. and presented a handsome appearance. A stand ‘was erected immediately above the entrance ste of the hall, above it the American flag bung !n handsome festoons, while in front was insc the motto “Stand by the Union.” And around the stand were displayed transparencies inscribed with appropriate mottoes. Across the street were bung the flags of half a dozen nations. The small democratic cannon was on the ground and fired a salute. In uence of a heavy rain. which commenced falling about 7} o’clock, D. Funsten announced that the meeting would take place at Liberty Hall. Arrived at Liberty Hall, the meet- ing was called toorder by Col. Suttle, upon whose motion David Funsten was called to the chair. On motion, the following gentlemen were ap- pointed vice idents secretaries: Vice Presidents—Turner Dixon, W.E. Atwell, J. M. Jobnston, S. F. Blacklock, Peyton Ballen, ger. W. W. Herbert, J. F.

The following resolutions were then unan- imously ado; 3 Resolved, That we cordially approve, and will most cheerfully support the nomination of Hon. John C Breckinridge, of Kentucky, for Presi- dent, and of Hon. J bh Lane, of Oregon, for Vice President of the United States Resolved, That by the nomination of these dis- tinguished citizens and able statesmen, the Na- tional States-Rights party, vindicates its claim to the confidence, trust, and co-operation of all good citizens in every section of the country, regardless of their real or supposed previously existing party relations. The meeting was ‘then addressed at length by Hon. I. I. Stevens, of Washington Territory, who was loudly and frequently applauded. Raitxoav Matters —A letter from Harrigon- burg, Rockingham county, published in the 0 thee Dispatch, says:—‘‘ The operations on the Manassas Gap railroad are nearly suspended. ‘The prospect is truly a very poor one, and com- plaints are ing very numerous, and if there should be a decapitation of some of the heads of the concern, it would probably be of advantage to the company.” Now, from all we can learn, these complaints are most unreasonable; and the accusations, if not threats, nst some of the heads of the roads. have nothing to justifythem. We believe that the officers and directors of the company do ail that can to ex ite their work, in spite of every difficuly. It ts their duty and their interest tedoso.
