NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1859.—TRIPLE SHEET. Bpeeial Correspondence Lawesvna, Greenbrier Co., Vs, Apri) 6, 1859. Cine of Mr. Letchers’s Appointments—The Disaffection qmong the Democracy in Southwesern Virginia Healed— he Whigs Jubilant at the Prospect of am Effective Re- wioalef their Party for the Contest in 1800—Greenbrier County—The Covington aad Vhi» Railroad—Ihe White Bulphur, Old Sweet and Red Sweet Springt—The Dis- eussion, dc., dc. ‘The discussion which came off at this place to-day closes ‘Wr. Letcher’s list of appointments, and, as I intimated in my letter from Abingdon, he will now follow Mr. Goggin ‘rough his appointments, up to the first week in May. After that be will go 10 Northwestern Virginia, and pur- see the canvass there until the day of election. His ap- polatments to this day cover that region of country which ‘was moat disaffected; and, so far as 1 have been enabled to ebserye, a decided change has been wrought in the Bentiments of the democracy with reference tohim. The peticy of canvassing this southwestern section first was ‘B wise onc on the partof Mr. Letcher. He succeeded ia ‘arresting the progress of the disaifection which prevailed there, and neutralized the efforts of the opposition to make available for their succese. Had the canvass in that pection been postponed until a later period, I have no doubt ‘bus that many hundred votes would bave been lost to Mr. Letober. The disaffection would na pread to an extent: ‘whieb would baflle the energies of the most effective stump Orator remedy, and bargains would have been struck Between the democracy sad the opposition which M would be diMoult to break up. The appoint ments were held in advance of the contests now Paging in the Congressional disuricty between democratic aspirants, and the value of votes was not suiiciently ap- Preciated until the candidates came before the people. The conventions had not made their nominations, and owing to the doubts which naturally existed with reference ‘te the nominees to be chosen, no effort was made in tho ‘way of a bargain until the discussions on the gubernato- ria} question had taken place. It was then too late. The gubernatorial canvass had wrought its effect, and tho dis- Aflected, upon whom the opposition hoped to operate, were reconciled. Ihave heard many democrats remark, that ‘whatever the fate of the Congressional and State elections ‘might be, they would be sure to combine in support of the gubernatorial nominee. In other words, however they many bargain in regard to the Congressional and State elec- Mons, they would not endanger the election of Mr. Letcher. ‘Inasmuch as this disaffection does not exist in any other quarter of the State, there is bys little prospect that any @ombination can be gotten up which is likely to affect the Feeult of the gubernatorial contest. It is true that much ap be done by the opposition in the East to impair the democratic prestige in the State; but as I have stated ina former letter, there is but little hope that any dimunition ean be effected there upon the usual demooratic majority, Even should the East fai) to give ita accustomed majority, ‘the Weat will supply the deficit, because of the peculiar moceptability of Mr. Letcher to section. The charges growing, out of his connection with the Raffner pamphiet not affect him in the least degree ia the West, and the endoreation by the whig nomivrating Convention of Botts’ free negro cooperation scheme will utterly neu- tralize these in the East. charges Botts’ iden- tity with the opposition this instance has very ‘materially ham; Mr. in this canvass, and pered 5 those who were iqstrumental in admitting him to fellow- Bbip with the ey are, in a great degree, responsible for ite defeat, je the people in Western Virginia are Not interested in the instiation of slavery to the extent ‘that the people in Fastern Virginia are, they are, never- theless, jealous and watchfa! of its interests, more, pro- Daly, from motives of Stare or sectional pride than any ‘mate! benefit which they derive from it. They are Lorre sensitive under say intimation of 4 want of lity to the institution, mere! Mesrsea) their condition of independence of siave labor furnishes ground for doabt ‘ae to their fidelity. They say that it does not follow that they are wanting in zeal for the institution becawse they ‘are not slave owners in many instances. They agree in favor of slavery upon the principles of necessity and ox- pediency, and justify their preference of white iabor upon ‘the same grounds. But by no means will tuey tolerate ‘any charge of @ want of fidelity to the institution upon ‘apy principle. I bave witn ‘no where in Eastero Vir- gue ‘such a degree of hostili.y to Botts as seems to exist this western section, and this I know proceeds solely from a want of confidence in his fidelity to the institution Of slavery. No party with which be can be allied can ‘ever hope to achieve any success in that section. Tadeed, ‘they eeem to hail bis association with the opposition as the best guarantee of democratic triumph, and F have! no doubt they would rejoice, from the same cause, at his roy with any opposition oyement gotten up in view residency in 1860. ‘hile but little hope ig row left to the wig party, in to, they nevertheless, jubilant at the prospect of an effective Teviva) of its elements for the Presidential campaiga. If this was their object in nominating an opposition candidate fur Governor, they were peculiarly fortunate to the choice they Lad made. No man is more competent to effects reorganization of the old whig party than Mr. Goggin, for be is not only an effective popular speak but a gentleman of noble peronal qualities, such ‘would be calculated to win upon popular esteem, His homorous style of speakiog takes admirably with the peopie; and I bave no doubt that many democrats are re- Strained from voting for bin merely by party objections ‘and a staunch adherence to what they believe to be tho true principles. He 18 a general favorite personally, and ‘when the whigs fail with bun tuey have but little grounds for hope in the future, through the ageacy of any otner of their prominent men. One result of this contest will be the organization of an opposition party in the Soath. ‘With good leaders, who would tarn the shortcomings and errors of the democracy to proper accoant, aa1 make them available as a basis of party action, the time may jen they could well sustain themselves before the ry. So long as the slavery question forms 80 promi- Bent an issue in Our netioual politics, they have but little hope of effecting atriumpb. The wial wan or opposition elements in the North which ‘Wize with the Southern wing of the opposition, argues a Want of pationality in its constitution which makes it feared in the South. So long as the democraoy can keep ‘this slavery issue prominent, with the advantage which ep eve, of some Nortbern aid ani sympathy to poiut to, they will be gure to command the united support ot the Sovth. Seeing this, 1am confident they will always keep the siavery iseue in the foreground, no matier how many ‘ether iesues may arise. Even now’ the whigs in Virginia, ‘with ali tue advantages which they hoped to derive from ‘the position which Mr. Letcber oveu »ied on slavery in 1847, ‘would gladiy sink that issue forever, in the hope of destroy: ing the distinctive nations! characteristic which it gives to democracy. Upon all other issues but that they claim to occupy a8 fayorabie a position as the democracy before the county. If they ooud only shear this democratic Samson of thin great eiement of strength, they would be sure to bring bim under subjection, These seem ta de the sentiments of the whigs in Virgipia, and they would feign Temove this formidable obstacle w their success, even at a sacrifice of the governorship. ‘Taie county (Greenbrier) Is esteemed the best grazing Tegion of the Commonwealth. It also abounds in mineral resources, which are yet but partially developed, This town is the most prosperous of any west of Staunton, and is destined to become s very important point when the Covington and Ohio railroad ia complete. The line of this road comes within four or five miles of the town; bat ‘owing to the intervention of the Alleghentes, the progress of the work between here and Covington 13 exovedingly slow. The distance between these points is thirty miles, ‘and it is estimated that the copatroct: f the road with- in that extent will involve a larger (haa will bo re. quired to sonstroct any mxty, or evou vighty, miles of the ine from this town to the Ohio river. Several tunnels have to be rup tbrongh the intervening mountains, waile the work of grading along the lets elevated sections will De little less laborious and costly. The celebrated White Sulphur Springs are only nine miles from this towo, and are located imme iately on the line of this road, It will require, according to the estimate of the onntractors ou the tunuels, at lerst three years to complete the road to this point; but when it is oarried mo far, these Springs Will become the great fashionable rendezvous ef the eovtinent.

In conclusion; we would caution those papers whico have expressed doubts as to the propriety of .

Tho following resolutions, among otoers, were adopted a) that meeting: — Resolved, That whatever other beneficial reform miy be incorporated in the new constitution, if it be founded. upon the ‘mixed or combined basis,” we, as citizens of this county, will strenuously use every honest exertion in- dignantly to reject it. solved, That should the eastern minority succeed in engraitipg this obcoxious principle upon the constitation to be submitted to the people at the polls, every friend of the white basis and equal rights would be justiflable in withdrawing from the convention. Resolved, That we calmly and dispassionately present od to the consideration of the convention, principles which we regard as sacred and inviolable; and while we depre: cate ail collision or expression of such feelings as may tend to estrange the West from the East, yet we would tender to our brethren of the East the alternative of the “white basis, or friendly and constitutional separation.” He read other extracts from the Lawishurg Chronicle of Nov. 4, 1847, on the subject of the Raffoer pamphlet, as, for instance: ‘ Not presuming to oritictse the style, fan- guage or literary merits of the pamphlet, coming, as it does, from the pen of so finished a scholar and so distin- guished a divine, we are content merely to express our decided approbation of dhe design in view, and to applaud the very able eflort mace to place that design Dt ly and favorably before the citizens of Western Viryinia, We would do more; we would commend it @ the especial attention of our readers, as eminently worthy of thvir no- tice, and as unfoldi portant facts connected with our history as a State. * Ina word, the pamphietis va- luable—surpagsingly so—and we trust tbat it may prove but the entering wedge to a great and very needful move- ment of the people of Western Virginia upon the subject of slavery, which sball reau't io its extinction among us by &@ method beneficial and safe to the master and the slave.” Again, “Lest it might enter the mind of some, from the general notice above given of Dr. Ruffoer’s pamphlet, that tbe same is tinged with what we all detest as much a8 a midnight incendiary, abolitionism, we here state that pom ‘s ‘her from the spirit and tendency of that pro- juction.’ Mr. Goggin’s address was confined to the topics which he usually presenta, and was upuaualiy bappy and effact- ive, I imigine the issues will be materially changed when the candidates go East, in order to suit that latitude, S ELoPEMENt 1N Ont0.—A faithless, heartless wife Jeft her husband at Sandusky, Obio, last week, to elope with another man, who, in turn, dea & wife and family.

Money is in fair demand, but the rates can- not be quoted higher than our last figures. ‘There was, at the Stock Exchange this morning, tho usual effort made by the bears to beat down the market; it met with the usual gursess. Prices receded at first; then, after protty heavy sales at the conceszion, stocks ral- lied above the higheet rates of the morning. The most spirited contest continues to be waged on Pacific Mail. ‘The bears who gold tho stock short at 75, and had che Pleasure of buying it in at 90, are offering sellers contracts fully two per cent below the cost price: if the company should acttle with Varderbilt (a thing quite possible, if not very probable), thay will have the fresh satisfaction of buying, In the neighborhood of par, the stock they are bow contracting to deliver at $3.

It is now understood that there Is nO prospect of any difficulty between the Erie and Cen tral. The directions of both roads are prepared to co-ope" rate as far as possible for their mutual benefit, and for the advantage of New York. The only existing rivalry of any consequence is between the New York Central and the Pennay!vania Centra) for freight. It is not likely that this will last long. The New York Ceniral, rightly or wrongly, has earacd a position as an eight per cent dividend paying stock; and whether it earned or whether it borrowed the money to pay its last dividends, there can be no question ‘but that it paid them, and that it has the credit to borrow two or three more, if it should need to do so. The Penn- sylvania Central is comparatively—as a competitor of the New York Contral~a new enterprise. It has, or ought to have, a fair focal Dusiness, and it cannot help doiog acertain amount of throng business which under no circumstances: would come over our New York roads. Tf the enterprise bas been planned on sound principles, this busing should suffice to render the Pennsylvania Central paying pro- Pperty. But if the managers of that road propose to carry freight at a logs, in delasive hope of breaking down com Petitors who were in the field and learnt their business before the Pennsylvania Central was dreamt of, their stockholders will have a poor look out for dividends, Mr. Thomron end his friends ehould romomber that their road is after allonly au experiment as yet; to say the least, before they undertake to do all the freighting business of the West, they should lay fresh rails on their road, 80 that travellers who come over it shal! not term tt ‘ono remove from a corduroy.” Central opsned this morning weak at 765g; advanced to 76%, and closed in the after- noon at 77. Tho Western stocks were quieter to-day, ‘without materia! change of price. Michigan Southern is freely sold by the bears on the strength of the un- favorable traific return for the first wook in April. They are evidently forgetful of the fact that though the gross errnings of March showed a decrease of $18,000 a8 compared with March, 1858, tha net earnings of that month showed an increase over Marchi, 1858, of $2,000.

The road was surveyed some years ag, and thirty miles of it were graded; the work was stopped, however, by embarrasements of the owners. The plan by which the money now required is to be raised isa novel one in this country, though common enongh in Ea- rope. ‘The Wabash Valley, Cleveland and Toledo, Ashta- bule, and Buffale and State Line roads, which will benefit by the construction of the new line, agree to take its bonds at par in the settlement of their accounts with it for freight and passengers, the actual cost of transporting said freight and passengers first deducted. So that in the Course of time these roads must become owners of all the bonds, and tbe parties who now subscribe for them will receive par for them from the companies. The iron is all contracted for at £8 a ton, the contractor taking the com- pany’s bonds in payment. The road contractor is to be paid by an issue of 2d mortgage bonds, Thus far the stock subscriptions amount to about $200,000. It is ex- pected that the road will be completed by the middle of October next. This looks ag though public confidence in railroads had not altogether died out after all. Messer.

BEEP CATTLE. The receipts during the past week bave been moderate- ly heavy; and as the demand through the week was mo- derate, most of the receipts were on sale today. In view of these facts, butchers were making calculations on ob- taining a sufficiency for the coming week at lower rates, in which many of them were disappointed, ag owners were firm during the early hours, and manifested no dis- position to accept of lower rates. This exhibition of firm- neas tended to materially check sales, however, and hold- ers were eventually compelled to grant a slight conces- sion, which accelerated the demand, and the market was pretty lively during the remainder of the day, though at no time bo active as last week, The sales on Tuesday were not nearly 0 large as during the provious Tuesday— though there was nearly as much inquiry—the prices de~ manded being above the views of purchars, who were looking for a decline. The offerings were of a véry fair average quality, though scarcely 80 gooa as those of last week. There were but very few inferior caule offered, and they sold at 8c. to 9c. per pound. At the Bergen Bill yards there were sold only about 250 bead, at about the game prices ag the quotations below. At Browning’s there were but few on sale, but they brought remancra- tive prices, and were comic's disposed of. At Chamber- Mn’s the offerings num! onty 61 head, and prices ranged from 9c. to lic. at O’Brien’s there prevailed only a moderate inquiry for beef cattle, and gales were St prices corresponding with our quotations below.
