Ia |ha remarks la tho Ihiapotah yesterday morula* rotative ta thie worthy officer, there wa. a maUrial error, which we take the first opportaoity to correct. It was stated la those ismerba, that whea the office was vacated by the resignation of General Pbttok, it was con ferred upon General HicHAuaeoa, at a aomi aal salary, « *•'* *sgg#*tte*. The feet is, that General B. recommended tbat the office should be mbolithcd. We wUI stale the circumstances a Utile more particularly in justice to General B. Ia 1841 General Pbttob was appointed Postmaster, aud* resigned his office of Adjja. jutant General, the salary of which was gsou, and had been a 1,500. General BiCBAUDaoa, tben Secretary of tbe Common wealth and Li brarian, recommended that it be abolished, of fering himself to perform, grata!toosly, the moat material part of ita deuce at tbat time, via: the making up of the annual consolidated returns of the militia. Governor Gil*taaand members of lbs Legislature, however, were ol opinion tbat tbe office could not be abolished, and ac aad tbe moat prominent among tbe members, proposed to confer it on General 8., because of ibe military reputation he had ac quired, and because the appointment wonld make him an ex-ofllcio member of the Board ot Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, la wbich bis services, it waa thought, woulu be most valuable, aa tbey certainly have been. General B. waa accordingly appoiuted to tbe office witb the nominal saint?of gIUO. Buthe Immediately made it laborious by attending to it witb energy, and saving thousands to the State by exacting faithful reports touching arms distributed to different parts of the coun try. The Mexican war greatly increased bis la bora and bis responsibilities. Fourteen compa nies were orgaalxed here—twelve of which were clothed here under supervision of the Ge neral; and tbe Begiment was sent to tbe field better clothed and equipped than any of the volunteer regiments ihat went to Mexico. The fitting out of the Regiment imposed upon him the most incessant labor for four months, giv ing him litrle time to rest. For four years past the duties of tbe office have been heavy, espe cially ao in '58-59, in reorganizing the militia: aad tbe outbreak at Harper. Ferry added greatly to them. Now, for all this time tbe annual salary of glut) ia all that the Adjutant General haa received! Even had there been no increase of duties and no increase of pay, compared with the salary of tbe former officer, rendered proper, General Bichabdson haa saved the State g?,6uo. We cannot suppose that the Legislature can hesitate about tbe justice of compensating tbis faithtul officer, at least for the services be fa te render. Indeed, they might go back, and give hiu. somewbat ol the large snm be has saved to tbe State by bis unrewarded labors. We hope the Legislature will take up aud pass, nt nn early day, tbe bill increasing bis salary, aud thus do a thing thai haa beau too long delayed. Vuleullaea. We cannot let tbe occasion pass without ex pressing our feelings with regard to the abom inable valentines which nre gotten up, we believe, mainly In New York, and sent forth annually to deluge tbe country nnd deprave tbe tastes of youug people and children. More abominable productions of art could hardly be put forth. There is not a spark of wit or true humor to relieve tbeir coarseness and vulgari ty. Tbe pictures are extravagant nnd poor, and tbe inscriptions npon them are worthy ol tbe pictures. Artists aud poets must have been fished up by the wretched publishers from tbe lowest and filthiest haunts of the great metropolis. Yet these specimens of tbeir genins are placed in the bands of the inuoceut children whose plastic minds receive impres sions witb the facility and truthfulness of the daguerreotype, and retain them longer than tbe metal plate. If they bad any of the ge niua of tbe French prints, something of the art with which tbey are executed, even a trace of tbat exquisite cunning which conveys an idea ao happily by tbe merest touch of the pencil, tbey could be tolerated—they would nt L-aat not degrade the taste of tbe youug. 11 may be said that French prints often con vey immoral sentiment*. Very true. But it will be bard for them to exceed, in tbat re apect, b_e abominable pictures to which we allude. It la due to French art and genius, however, \o say that tbey do put forth works lor tbe young which are unexceptionable, nnd which, for tbe appropriateness of their ideas aad the canuie style In wbich they are devel oped, are without parallel In the productions of any country. If our artists would emu late the French, or evea the English—for the London prints are as day to night, compared with the New York abominations—they would da what would at least entitle tbem to com mendation. But tbey have struck out a line and a taste of their own, and worse could not be conceived. We are sorry to see tbem in the hands of onr children. If the parent thinks ws are making an unnecessary complaint about n small matter, we reply tbat education is not confined lo going to school, nnd what is learned ibere. Every act of the child's life is a part of his education—every idea be receives, every example that is set before bim—all he sees aad bears—all, all comprise his education. Indeed, be learas more oni of school that gov erns bis future Bite tbaa he does in school. So it ia well tbat care abould be taken to im prove, rather than deprave, his taste by what be sees. benthrrn Mnnnfncturiug. Tbe nambers of schemes for establibhiug new manufactories in tbe Son tb, and especial ly la aad near tbis city, are quite remarkable. If bat a small portioa of them are successful, a great impulse will be given lo manufactur ing enterprise in tha South. If thia city ia over a very large one, itmuat be indebted for IU maguitude te manufacturing— not only tbat clam of enterprise wbich involve large capitals, but the smaller and more numerous which afford occupation to so many people and tara oat labrics which are in such general use. Therefore our citizens onght to encourage by every meaas manufacturing projects.— Tbey should be enoonragedand supported un til tbey are fairly aad permanently estab lished.

Iv day of doom ia hardly yet come. It will have to become yet more unendurable, and Its outrages even yet more flagrant,before Its repeal eaa be forced through such a body as that of tbe House of Bepresen tati yes. i Soldiers ef tbe North and tbe heath. The seventh annual meeting of the New York Military Association was recently held in Albany. It was a very fine aaaemblage of officers. Among tbe gentlemen invited to be present and participate in the proceedings of the Convention, was Adjutant General W.n. H. Hichabdsok. Being unable to attend, be wrote a letter, concluding witb the follow ing sentences: '• The appearance in tbis city on lhe occasion of the obsequies of President Monroe, of one of the linest bodies of the citizen soldier) of New York, haa left a moat favornble, aad, i trasr, lasting ef fect upon the volunteer corps of this city and dtate. •• May I not indulge tbe hope that we shall never meet but as brother soldiers, and aa citizens of a treat, harmonious and united country :" Every patriot will heartily re-echo the sentiment quoted above. May the soldiers ol the two sections never meet but as brothers! And if the matter rested with tbem—with the brave and true-hearted volunteers of the two sections,they never would meet tn any otber re lation towards one another. Itisfrum the un thinking massesof the North, inflamedinto fa naticism by tbe Sbwabds, Hai.ei«, Shkbmans, Gkows, and the braggarts of the Hickman order, that the danger is to come tbat by pos sibility may bring into collision those nobler meu of the North with the sons of the South. Hut we still hope that these plotters of their country* ruin may be overwhelmed by the public voieeat the North, and all the evil they would bring with their triumph be avoided. Death of Benjamin Rush Fleyd. Tbe telegraph yesterday announced the sud den death, In Washington city, of Bbnjamik Rrsit Floyd, of Wythe county. He was n son of tbe late Governor Floyii, and brother of the present Secretary of War. He has rep resented his county and Senatorial District in the House of Delegates and in the Virginia Senate, of which body he wae a leading mem ber the last session. He was one of the most gifted men of the State, as well as one of the moat estimable of her citizens in private life. His death was remarkably sudden, and was a great shock to his family and friends. FEB. 17, irti. The Legislature. A hill was introduced in the Senate yester day by Mr. ArorsT, allowing tbe Trustees of the Bicbmond Female Institute to raise money by a sale of preferred stock. A number of acts of incorporation were also passed, and by leave Dr. Claiborne, of Petersburg, introduced a bill forbidding the entrance of free negro sail ors into the port of City Point. Nothing of in terest was done In the House, wbich adjourned at an early hour. Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch Political—The. Town of Suffolk; frr. Suffolk, Va., Feb. 14,1800. The Court for the county of Nanseroond met here on yesterday. There was a large crowd of the sovereigns present, but no po litical meeting was held, and no declaration eivon in favor of either Wise or Hunter for the Presidency. This is one of the prettiest and most pleasant villages in the State. Situated in the midst of corn bills, potatoe hills, and goober hills, of oyster banks, liver banks, with no money banks, and with a society of the best in the State, it is altogether one of the sweetest places your correspondent has ever visited. Two railroads—tbe Norfolk and Petersburg, and Seaboard and Roanoke—run through it. There are a half dozen hotels and several omnibuses. The Nanaemond river is navigable up to Tbis place for sloops and schooners of considerable size, which do a large business in tbe above mentioned products, as well as in shingles, staves, rosin, Ac, received per Dismal Swamp Caaal, which terminates here—(by tbe way, can't yon give it a puff ?)—the whole impart ing a life and activity to the place which is wanting in other Virginia villages. There are four churches here, three of wbicb are more than good looking—one Methodist, one Baptist, and one Episcopal, and one for the colored people. The Episcopal congrega tion have lately called a minister, and he en tered upon bis duties witb flattering prospects ou Isst Sunday. Tbe Rev. K. O. Burton, P. E., of Petersburg district, preached in the Methodist cbnrch last night. Tbere are also a Masonic Hall, an Odd Fel lows' Hall, and several schools for both girls and boys; and if tbe grown up children may be taken for specimens, the teachers in those sc.hcx Is are excellent. Finally, for this time, there are lots of pretty, intelligent and rich girls down here. How tbe valentines will fly to-day. Of all tbe places beneath tbe skies to get a wife, Suffolk is tbe place.

Tbe train tbat met with the accident on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, as reported per telegraph last evening, has just arrived here with the passengers, leaving tbe mall and Express behind. The accident was caused by the falling of a large rock as tbe train was passing, which bad the effect of throwing from the track three of tbe coaches, (mail, baggage and smoking cars,) two if which fell in tbe Holsten river, the through baggage being lit erally "smashed." Tbere was but one man killed, he being a colored brakesman, the pro perty of a Miss Dejarnette, residing near your city. Tbe following persons were injured :— Laugbton, baggage agent, cut on side of the head, and back hurt; Oh as. Stewart, liquor merchant, Baltimore, thought to have received severe internal injuries. The accident occur red just nt a bridge, and on a bank 30 feet bigb. A Mr. Johnston, passenger, jumped from tbe cars snd fell amongst tbe timbers of the bridge; also badly burt and maimed about tie legs.— Several others received alight injuries. Three corpses were on the train at the time of tbe occurrence, tbe coffins enclosing two of them being thrown with such violence as to burst tbem, etc. Mr. King, Express messenger, was smartly bruised, scratched, Ac.

IL, and sealed *at Mr. New. «Un, of Miaou, waa en v i led the Beer. Be Id be understood that several members of the Legislature had reeaived le item frum their couatles, distant from Richmond, ba which meeUage had aat been held, reaaeetiag them to represent tbem ou this floor. Time-honored usage that they aboald he admitted to scale. Ho ihsisfeas mllsd ap- dm rmelatloß in relation to that sabject. The question of taking up was put, and the Convention refused to take up the reeolutlon. Mr. Newman tben renewed the resolution In a similar form; but this wen opposed in a point or order by Mr. Beale, of Westmoreland, nnd the President declined to entertain the resolution. Mr. Chapman, of Monroe, appealed to tbe Convention to admit members of the Legisla ture. In accordance with Democratic usage.— Tbey had been endorsed by tbeir fellow-citi zens, and some bad letters requesting them to represent them here. Mr. Beale asked, frum whom thoae letters came f Mr. Chapman.—From citizens of their coun ties, generally as numerous as tbe meetings which send delegates here. [Applause.] He asked to take up tbat resolution, aad moved that the question be taken by a scale vote— [Applause.] The President.—l understand tbe proposi tion to be a motion to reconsider the vote just taken. Mr. Gordon, of Albemarle, explained tbat it was a renewal of the motion of the gentleman from Mason,and the resolution waa then read, as follows: Resolved, That the Democratic membera of the Uer.eral Assembly, whose counties are not repre sented on thia floor. l>e invited to participate in the deliberations of this Convention. Mr. P. 11. Aylett opposed the resolution In a forcible speech, which was frequently ap plauded. Mr. Jackson, of Wood, moved to amend the resolntion.'by way of substitute, as follows: Resolved. That any Democrat present, from an? county which has no delegate on this floor, lie in vite.l to deliberate in the proceedings of tbis Con vention. Tbis amendment was accepted by Mr. New man. Mr. Jackson proceeded to say that he was opposed to admitting members of the Legisla ture to represent counties not represented here, but was in favor of giving any Demo crat a seat in this Convention. The question was, whether counties, not otherwise repre sented, should'be represented by pure and undeflled Ilemocrats. [Laughter.] Mr. He nl*-' raised a point of order. He thought the motion was to take a resolution frum the table. The President stated that it was an entirely new proposition. Mr. Jackson.—l knew I was right—when my friend disagrees with me he is sure to be wrong. [Laughter.] Mr. Beale replied that while he may .have disagreed with Mr. Jackson, it was yet to be demonstrated that he was always wrong. [Laughter.] A young gentleman here waved his hat and trhouted " Hurrah for my country !" The previous question was called by Mr. Isbell, but withdrawn. Mr. Douglass, of King William, opposed the resolution. He argued that if the resolu tion were adopted there were counties rep resented in the Legislature by Whigs; and wbo would represent those counties here.' He agreed with Mr. Chapman, that be would like to see every Democratic county repre sented; but when the resolution bad been twice voted down by a decided vote, business would never progress, for it would be in the power of a defeated minority to renew the motion each day, and thus keep the Conven tion in session for days. Mr. Newman addressed tbe Convention in advocacy of Mr. Chapman's motion, and said he would demand a scale vote. Mr. Isbell also addressed the Convention. Mr. McDowell, of Botetourt, moved the pre vious question, and Mr. Isbell demanded a scale vote. A good deal of confusion followed. The question was finally propounded by the Presi dent—" Shall tbe main question be now put ?" which was decided in tbe affirmative, and after some delay the Secretaries proceeded to call tbe vote by counties. During the tedious progress of this call, per sons in the room talked incessantly, and tbe President was compelled to call them to order. The noise became so great tbat it was impos sible for delegates to hear their names when called, and tbe President requested all who were not delegates to retire from the room, and asked the delegates to be seated. When the roll was called through, Mr. Kem per, of Madison, offered a resolution, which was adopted, instructing the Pre—dent to ap point a Sergeant-at-Arms and three Door keepers, to exclude frcm the floor of tbe Con vention all persons who are not delegates. On motion, the counties were again called over, and delegates who had not voted were permitted to do so. Mr. N.Tyler stated that it would take five hours to count the vote. Mr. Wm. L. Jackson moved that wh> i the Convention adjourns, it adjourn to meet to morrow, at 11 o'clock. The question was put and carried in the af firmative. Mr. Stovall called up the dispatch from Con necticut, and moved that a committee of five be appointed to prepare a suitable reply. When tbe question was put, the Chair decid ed in the affirmative. A division was called for, pending whicb, Or. motion ol Mr. Kemper, the Convention adjourned. | Tub Widow of Capt. Harrison.—Sub scribiions are being received in Liverpoof for the widow of Capt.
