Ooncervatives, or anti-con- ‘ventionists, seem to favor the policy of neither voting for or against the conyention, but to vote only for delegates. Several papers advo- cate this line of action, while others strongly urge the people to keep away from the polls and take no partin the election.

Ever since the firstof the month the dry goods trade has been exceptionally depressed, and the past week has been discouragingly dull, with no brilliant prospects of an imme- diate improvement. The causes are toa cer- tain extent accidental, but the effect is none the less disastrous. Trade will revive, but in the meanwhile many bonses must seriously suffer. There have been some very large offer- ings in the auction rooms of seasonable goods, by the great importers. during the weex, but the sales were not in proportion to the atzend- ance and apparent interest felt in them. When lots brought satisfactory prices they were du- Plicated; but these were rare instances. The importations for the week have fallen off largely, and steamers arriving here bring very hight freights, For unbleached domestics the demand has been very limited. The reduction of prizes does not induce purchasers to take bold, ex cept to supply the hand-to-mouth orders of customers; but as soon as it sh: ll be ander- stood that bottom has been touched there will be a rush to buy, and prices will advance. In the various styles of bleached goods, in twills, jaconets and cambrics the demand is slack, butno material changes of prices are reported. The regular quotations are subject, however, to a deduction of twoto four per cent. Printing cloths sre very dull, but prices are better sustained in prinis than in almost any otber desoription of goods. The stock in agents’ hands is large, and the jobbers have a great ya- riety of excellent styles to maie their selec- tions frem. Ginghams have been neglected, aud the reduced prics do not better de- chasers. Linseys are in somew! mand, but muslin de laines, noth withstanding @ reduction of two centsa yard in the better qualities, are very dull. The stock on hand of thee goods fe largely disproporuioned to the demand. ‘Woolens of all kinds are dull,and tne tempt to force sales of undesirable styles auction has had a bad influence on the market. agon is about over for large purchase by est clothing manufacturers, and only ityles of cassimeres and vestings com- mand full prices. The market is abundantly supplied with flannels, and only the heavier qualities maintain prices. Blankets are better demand, and, the stock being small, an Adyance in prices 18 not unlikely.

Smith, of the Eighth District, is currently reported cown-town to-day. The specific charge upon which the removal is said to have been effected, is, that in July last S03 barrels of whiskey were shipped from Du- baque, lewa, consigned to the Collector of the Eighth District To cancel the bonds upon which the whiskey was shipped it was neces- sary for Mr. Smith to certify that the lot had entered a bonded wareBouce in his district. ‘This he did, stating that the £3 barrels had been entered in the bonded warehonse of S. C. Boebm & Co, the night before that establish- ment, with contents, was destroyed by fire, which was on the 17th of July. investigation showed, howeyer, that the whiskey kad not tume to reach this city from the date of ship- ment from Dubuque. and that the identical 503 barrels were traced to other places. Collector Smith, although Leld respensible for this cer- tification, conbtlese had no pecuniary interest in the transactien, but was in all probability made the victim of collvsion between the own. er and the storekeeper of the burned bonded warebouse.—.. ¥.

Underwood; Au- drew Jamieson, Esq, Collector of the Port of Alexandria; Mr Reaben Johnson, Secretary and Treasurer of the Loudon road, and Mi. Washington Bly tne, General Saperintendent. Amovg the Disirict party mot heretofore named we noticed here Mr. MeGill, of the Georgeiown Courier; Mr. Peters, of the Wash- ington Chroni:i:, Mr. 4. M. P. King, Mr. Wil- 1 A. Wise, and Mr. N. W. Burchell, of the Washington Board of Trade. On leaving Alexandria tor Leesburg the triin proceed d slowly, stopping at various pyints to enable the excurs:ouisis to examine the points of interest on the road, and especially The various pointe suggested for the proposed connection of the District cities with the Lou. don road. The first point of proposed connec- tion is a short distance above the present switch connection between the Loudon road id the Wasbington and Alexandria road. By this ronte the road would enter the city via the Long Bridge. The next point of connection proposed 18 on Four Mile Raw, near the Con- valescent Camp, by which the road would pass near Roacbe's and enter Georgetown via the Aqueduct. A third point is near Carlin Springs, crossing tbe Potomac at the Three Sisters, above Georgetown; and a foarth is near Drainesville, crossing the Potomac at Great Falls. ‘ ‘The country adjacent to the road for the first twenty or twenty-five miles trom Alexandria fe somewhat unmteresting, passing for the mont part through lands covered with @ sparse and stunied growth of timber; but there isa better farming country at some distance back from the road. At Thornton Station 1s a saw- mill tn the midst of a tract of timber of some nine thousand acres, owned by Joseph Thorn. ton. A few miles beyond that the country be- comes more bighly cultivated, and the r bordered in many places by good farms; but the real wealth of Loudon county lies mainly further to thesouth and :outhwest The branch ‘which it is proposed to construct to that sec- tion of the country will probably diverge at Farm 1, some five miles this side of Lees- burg, and have its terminus at Aldie. The last mentioned town is situated on a splendid ike, extending west to Suickersville, near the Blue Ridge, and east 10 Alexandria, On the way we passed tbe flourishing vil- lage of Herndox, which bas a steam s1w-mill and other indications of progress. Our fellow- citizen, Mr. Ulysees Ward, has a fine estate in the vicinity of Herndon, the residence be.ng hand-omely situated in view of the road. At Farmwell Station the curious sight was presented of a pile of old bones ot horses, from the Virginia battle-tields, on their way to the bone mitis of the North. Ano-her large pile of scrap iron beaded in the same direction, was a single instalment. we were told, of immense quantities of old fron going over the road to the North. When this part of Virginia is prop- erly opened up, profitable use for the old bones and old iron will protably be found at home. At !2ovclock the parzv Teached Leesburg, and in charge of Mr. McKenzie and the Board of Directors of the road, they proceeded to wCline's Hall,” where the meeting was two be eld. Among the prominent Virginians present were John M. Orr, Mayor of Leesburg; .J. Randolph Tucker, Esq. formeriy Attorney General of the State, and now a leading prac- toner of the bar of Virginia. (Mr. T. is one of the counsel for Jefferson Davis;) Kicbard S. Coxe, Esq., of Loudoun; John Janney, of Lou- doun county, (Mr. J. is’one of the principal of a Society of " located near Lees- burg:) Gen. H. H. Wells, of Alexandria; Uol. ‘W.H.

As the court was in session in Leesburg yes. terday, @ very large number of gentlemen from the surrounding country were present to wit- negs the proceedings of the meeting. At one o'clock the meeting was called to order, ard on motion of James C. Dulin, Esq., Samuel Bacon, Esq.. vice president of the Board of Trade o. Washington, was chosen temporary chairman, and Mr. Reuben E Jobnson, secretary cf the Alexandria, Lou- doun, and Hampshire Raliroad Company, secretary. Before any business was tranzacted, it was suggested by Mr. Richard S.Cox that John M. Orr, Eeq., Mayor of Leesburg, be appointed ermanent chairman. and William B. Lynch, njamin F. Sheets and George A. Tavenner, representatives of the Leesburg press, act as secretaries. ‘Mr. Bacon eaid he was not aware of any pre- vious arrangement rega: ding the oilicers of the meeting, bot he deemed it proper tbat the gen- tlemen of Loudon shonid have control of the meeting, and hoped the gentlemen named as officers would come forward and preside, that the business fer which they had assembled to transact might be proceeded with. Mr. Lewis McKenzie. president of the Lou- den and Hampshire rkilroad, hoped that the present organization would prevail, as the chairman was the first vice president of the Beard of Trade of the District of Columbia, and a gentleman in every way qualified to Precide over so important a meetin; Mr. O. S. Baker, ot tbe Common Council of Washington, did not think we had aright to take possession of the hall and organize a meeting without consulting th» people of Lou- don; and he meved that the meeting adjourn in order that the citizens of Loudon mignt or- ganize a permanent meering. Hon. John Randolph Tucker, of Loudon, said that the people of Leesburg camé to the meeting for the purpose of being instructed, and desired that the temporary organization be perpetuated. and that the meeting proceed to business. He was of the opinion that all conld pull together, and thought none so competent to preside as the vice president of the Wash- ington Board of Trade, and moved that the temporary organization be made permanent. Mr. Richard S. Cox seconded the motion:and the question being put, the temporary organi- zation was ratified and made permanent. The Chair stated the object of the meeting was to build a branch of the Loudon and Hampshire road trom Leesburg to Aldie, and trom thence to the District, and called on gen- tlemen to express their views on (he subject. Hon. J. R. Tucker said the peopleof Virgini Were ina process of recenstruction, and he would eay to those preeent that the sun does ot shineon a country more fertile than Lou- don. Itcould not expect steam vessels, but it did look for the iron horse to bring its pro- duce to market, which was done by turnpike t Alexandria. A little town called Miadle- burg wae near by, and Aldie lies at the con- fluenee ofa turnpike. We want supplies from tude. water, and want to send produce to tide- water, He had nogradge to Alexandria, but there ia always question as to the interest of the terminii and the interest of the back coun- try, but be did not believe in baving to be driven to one market alone. The people, there- fore,-are anxious to have & branch road from Aldie to Georgetown, Wasbington, and Alexandria markets. The trade of this back country taken tothe three cities is'one that should be competed for by those cities, as by finding a ready market it will prove a blessing te the peopie of Loudon, @nd enrich those of the three elties. | We have com ne nara io aske raneh from Ajdie, and by ex: loge trom the Lcudon and Hampshire Railroad it ‘Wilt be a blessing for all. - ir.

Ina reply to the questions therein propounded. [ think 1 can sately say that a railroad connec- tion from this place with the Alexandria, Loudon and Hampshire road is manifestiy of so much importance, and must be attended with so many advantages, that the business men and property- holders are anxious to have the connection made, and will use every exer- tion to have it completed. I will also say chat the extension of this road to Aldie or beyond St, being of equal importance to the best in ter of our town, is equally desired by our business community, and they will take the same interest and ute the same exertions in the latter ns in the former case to ensure its accomplishment. Yours truly, Evan Lyons, President Merchants’ Excnange. To Ricnarp S. Cox, Esq. Mr. R. T. Merrick, mm bebalf of Washington, ‘ben addressed the meetin, The people of Washington, he said, fully appreciated the dmportance of the enterprise, and were willing, upon certain conditione, stated by Mr. Cox, to co-operate in ralsing the money. They de- sire that trade shall be fostered. It was true Ss a measure of political economy that there should be the most perfect free trade between all communities. More facile communication was needed between the District and the eur- rounding country, ang he had no doubt Wash- ington would contribute to this work to the fall extent of her ability. There were, Row- ever, one or two material questions connected with the subject. Before the citizens of tha District could enter upon this work they must be assured that they will bave some control Over one of these lateral branches; that lead- ing to the District. This could be arranged by contract, or by the Loudon road yielding a Partot her franchise for the censiruction of this branch 1t was necessary for the District to have control over this branch to ensure against discrimination; and possibly com- Plications on the ground of liens, as those liens would cover the side tracks. They also wonld need a guarantee of an equal chance with Alexandria, It had been suggested in the Tesolnticns to tap the road at a point equi-dis- tant between the cities of Washington and Alexandria. This would carry the connecting point below Washington. The best route would be to carry it across the Potomac above Georgetown, and develop the water power atthe Great Falls. The Loudon road bad now a direct communication with Wash. ington by a switch running on to the Wash- ington and Alexandria road, bat he did not know what connection was afforded by tha: route. That connection was, however. too near Alexandria to maye it profitable for pro- duce reaching it tu turn back to Washington. ‘There was no question about the expediency of the enterprise. It was a fact known to all railroad men that the more branches you make the more business you make for the main stem. He spoke of the great advantages to an agri. cultural country ot baving railroad tacilities. Even in as rich a county as Loudon the popu- Janon will be sparse and the products com- paratively small without navigable waters er Failroaas. In the great West railroad facilities were used on & larger scale to this end. The juvenile city of Onicago, for instance, haa twenty-seven railroad lines entering her limits, while Washington city Bad but on plause.} Aldermen Richards suggested that they would be glad to hear from the railroad com- any. iS Mr. Lewis McKenzie, President of the road said that this scheme for a connection with the Dietrict had been before the company ever since its organization. They were anxious to effect It, not confining themselves to the inter- ests of Alexandria, but taking into considera- tion the wider interests of Georgetown and the metropolis of the nation. This road is no sham affair; it was projected to go to the coal fields. It ts bound there, and will go there! The original project for this connection fell through on account of the point of juncture not suiting Georgetown. The Corporation of Georgetown wished it to be made so far up river that it was not deemed advisable. At that time 300.000 could have been got from Virginia, in Addition to the $200,000 from Georgetown, to make these connections. The State of Virginia ‘was not now in & condition to contribute this sum. Mr. McKenzie proceeded to speak in warm terms ef the country above Leesburg; the richest country in Virginia. He believed that the amount gained tothe District by having the supplies of this rich country poured in there would more than pay the interest on the sum necessary to build the road. Some in Al- exandria were opposed to its construction but the company, looking to the general interests concerned, were disposed to make a fair ar- rangement. The people of Loudon naturally wished to get the best market for the produce, and if they could get 20 cents per bushel for their wheat more in the District cities than in Alexandria they wanted to ayail themselves of the chance. In Washington the City Ooun- cils nad heretofore not had enterprice enough under the influence of the Baltimore and Obio Tailroad to subscribe for the construction of this branch. He spoke frankly for he had felt Foreabout this matter. Tbe road, he might say, Was in a sound condition. About $1.900.000 Dad been spent in its construction: it’ had no mortgages or liens what- ever except a mortgage of $100,000 to Olarke county, which mortgage would beas- sumed by the county the moment the road reached that Haim The road would sell at Suction for 851,000, A negotiation had been effected by which the Company got the State’s interest fora mere song. The only drawback the road bad wasin the way ofready meney to go on with extending its operations. They ‘would not sacrifice their bonds, and it was diffi- cult to effect a fair sale for them while Govern- ‘Tent bonds were in the market in competition ‘with them. &@ road that had cost 32000,000. If the District wanted a partner- ship in the read she could have it, if not, she need not take it. There is no desire todiscrim- inete in tolls—and there will be none. We want your aid, and if you will give tt to us we will promise to build the branch road, and District cities the vast fertile coun. open to try of which mention bas beenmade [Ap- janee. Pir. Wm. H. Tenney, ot Georgetown, said his friend, Mr. McKenzie. to think the Rrople of the District stood in their own light. he fact was, the connection originally pro- didn’t suit; it was too near Alexandria. ‘hen he was a boy he was willing for the fan of sliding down hill to walk back, bu he had gotoverthatnow. Georgetown was ready to do ber part in the way subscription. Georgetown ‘were People for authorit; ome the int y er ll the points con , ly when it reached the coal fields.

After the meeting had adjourned dinver ticketa were distributed to the visitors. and they repaired to the two hotels of the town— the “London” and the “Picket”—where at half-past two o'clock dinner was served in true old Virginiastyle. All heartily partook of the same, blessing at the time the hospitality of the railroad company, by whom it bad been pro- | vided. After dinner the company repaired to the train, and at balf-past three o'clock bade adien to the newly-fouud friends of Leesburg, and set their faces homeward. Nothing of in terest occurred on the train until it arrived Thornton's Station, where a meeting was call in the passenger car of the traic, and Mr. Chadwick was introduced. That gentle- man announced that, after due delibera- tion, the engineers accompanying the party bad given it as their opinion, that “with a good day and a good track,” this road will make fifteen miles an hour. And he further sta‘ed that the said engineers deciare that if the Corporation authorities of Wash- ington and Georgetown, the Board of Trade and the Merchant's Exchange will co-operate and unite the branch soads, the road will probably be made to maixe 25 miles an hour. his announcement was received with great applause. Upon arriving at Alexanuria the party proceeded to the ferry boat andembarked | for Waebington. After ihe hoat had been got under way, a mecting of tbe several commit- tees was called, and Colonel James A. Tait was choren chairman. Complimentary reso- Jutions of thanks were passed to the Alexan- dria. London & Hampshire Railroad Co.. snd the Potomac Ferry Co. for transportation fa- cilities; to Messre. WS. Coxe, 8. T.

MR. BONNER TO COMMODORE VANDERBILT. ‘We publiehed yesterday the letter ot Com- modore Vanderbilt in reference to the mooted point whether Dexter or Mountain Boy is the fastest horee. The New York evening papers of yesterday publish a sharp reply from Mr. Rol exter, who “The Commodore alleges (having the :17 ¥ of Dexter in bis mind, and knowing that he bas not equalled it) that there has been no contest between him and me to see which would have the fastest trotter. How about the challenge, then? Wasn't that in earnest! and,if in earnest, doesn’t it establish that there was & ‘contest?’ Tne only thing which the Commodore can deny is that it has been a ‘good-natured’ contest; and, all that I have to say about that ie, that it has been on my part. “Now, concerning that challenge, 1 submit that it was bardly proper in a gentleman of Commodore Vanderbilt's position to permit his trainer to issue @ challenge to me, inas- much as he knew | had time and again pro- clamed my determination not to trot any of my horses in a public race. If the Comimo- ore really wanted sport of that sort he knew where to get it without seeking it with a horee — he was aware had beenretired from the “The Commodore states that Dexter was of- fered tohim two years ago tor $7,5W. There appears to be a mistyke about this, of couree unintentional on the Commodore's par'. as Mr. George Alley, who owned him at that ume, informed me this very day that he al. ‘weys refused to sell him until the day he dis- posed of him for lees than 215,000 after he had Uimed him privately in 1564. The memory of one of these two gentiemen appears to be at fault. Two years ago Dexter had already trotled—when he was only seven years old— in 2:18 1-5; time never to this day equalled by any other horse of the same age, or of any other age. “Himself his only peer.” But even if it weres fact that Dexter had been offered for sale at $7,500, what has that to do with his precent value or his unequalled per- —_— Does it make him any slower or Commodore's horse any faster! Surely there is no occasion for @ ‘contest on that point, Have not many of the fastest horses in the world, during their early career, been sold at low prices? Was not Flora Temple (whose lime has never yet been beaten except by Dex. ter) once sold for less than £100! Was not the Gor re’s OWD &dmurable horse sold for Jess than $200 within three or four years} “Now 1 want to see the Commodore—if he can—trot bis horee in 2.17%, and show not only a8 much speed as Dexter, but as placid a temper as‘yours,&c.
