Governor Brown has it in his power to stop all these specula tions by signifying his willingness to be the candidate. Governor Brown has the implicit confidence of three- fourths of flic voting population of the State. He has shown himself em inently qualified for the important po sition he now holds ; he has managed the. affairs of the State with great success, ami during the period that we leave been in war, Governor Brown has, with true devotion and patriotism, proven himself equal to the crisis. Let hint remain where he is until peace is made. None hut croakers and hit ter partisans wish Governor Brown turned out.

This night, whilst bis surgeon,' who had blejit none for three nights, was asleep, he complained of nausea, and ordered his boy, Jim, to place a wet towel over his stomach. This was done. About day light the surgeon was awakened by the boy saying, the General is suffering great pain. Tbe pain rvas in the^right side, and due to incipient pneumoma and some nervousness, which he, himself, attributed to the fall from the litter. Thursday—Mrs. Jackson arrived, great ly to bis joy and satisfaction, and she faithfully nursed him to the end. By Thursday evening, all pain had ceased ; lie suffered greatly from prostration. Friday—he suffered no pain, but the prostration increased. Drs. Tucker and Smith had been con sulted fnJm Thursday. Sunday morning, when it was ap parent that he was rapidly sinking Mrs. Jackson was informed of his con dition. She then had free and full con verse with him, and told him he was going to die. He said, “very good very good, it is all right.” He had previously said, “I consider these wounds a blessing; they were given me for some good and wise pur pose, arid I would not part with them if I could.” He asked of Maj. Pendle ton, “who is preaching at headquarters to-day.” lie sent messages to all the Generals. He expressed a wish to be buried in “Lexington, in the Valley ol Virginia.” During the delirium liis mind re verted to the field of battle, and he sent orders to Gen. A. P. Hill to pre pare for action, and to Major Hawks, liis commissary, and to tire surgeons. He frequently expressed to his aids his wish that Major General Ewell should he ordered-to the command of the corps; liis confidence in General Ewell was very great, and the manner in which he spoke ofhiin showed that he had duly considered the matter. mt of future laws or the State.

Tbe heights, which cost ns nearly a thousand in killed, and wounded to gain on Satur day last, were lost on Monday, and Gen. Gibbous, who held them, was compelled to return to Falmouth. General Sedg wick, who started.on Monday to reinforce General Hooker, was - met on the road, and, after a fierce battle, was compelled to cross to the north bank on pontoons, under fire. His loss, of course, must have been very through the line by Ids horse ami fell amid our own men. Colonel Crutchfield, Chief of Staff, was (rounded by bis side. Two couriers were killed.
