Thc Address of General Preston. We copy tho following correspondence from the Richmond Whiff, of the 16th: The editors of the Enquirer and Eta miner having declined to publish tho en eluaed paper, I respectfully request tho editor of the Whig to do so. JAMES LYONS. To THIS EDITORS OF THE ENQUIRER AND EXAMINER: Tho committee of invi? tation for the late fair consisted of Wm, T. Sn thor!! n, (President,) R:chard Bar? ton Hszali and myself. By thnt commit? tee, Qeneral Preston was invited to deliver the address before tbe State Agri? cultural Society, and Maj. Sutherlin and myself, severally, backed tho invitation by private letters. The committee also invited Mr. Capron, of the Agricultural Burean, and General Wise to deliver ad? dresses. As one of that committee, and tho personal friend of General Proston, I, with many others, have been much mortified by the manner in which Gene sal Preston hds been treated for his mag? nificent address, which all tho carpers at bim combined could not havo made. One of the misrepresentations of him was so gross, that I addressed him n note upon the subject, which, with his reply, I endose you, and hope you will pub? lish, notwithstanding your unjust and inhospitable assault upon him. For tho rest, the address will vindicate him when it is published; but it may be proper to say that I know that General Preston went upon the stand to speak with thc determination not to ntter one syllable which could grate upon the ears of the most tender-hearted "loyalist" who was of Bane mind. JAMES LYONS. RICHMOND, November 9, 18G9. To Gena al J. S. Preston-lix DEAS SIR: I have been much surprised to hear that you are charged with having said you desired to see no Northern men in the South except as servants and labor? ers. I know, as I heard your address, that you did not say so, but I think il duo to yourself, aa well as to tho South, that you should state at once, in antier pation of tho publication of yonr address what you did say, and, therefore, I beg yon to do so. With the greatest respee! and regard, yonr friend, JAMES LYONS. BALLARD HOUSE. RICHMOND, November 9, 1869. Hon. James Lyons-MY DEAR SIR: ] have received yonr note of this morning telling me that I am charged with hav ing said in my address to the Agricultu ral Society, that I "desired to seo n< Northern men in the South except a; servants and laborers." You are altogether correot in your as sertion that I auid no such thing. Yoi tell me, however, that it is due to mysel and the Sooth to state at once what '. did say. I do not hold myself respoosi ble to the misinterpretations of that ad dress whioh have been made in Rich mond or elsewhere. But I am responsibl to yon and other friends, who, knowinj my sentiments on public affairs, invitei me to deliver it, for the expression o those sentiments and for their just un derstanding by the public. I, therefore comply in part, but I hopo sufficiently with your requisition, leaving tbe rest t be rectified on the publication of tho ad dress. The whole text aud scope of the ad dress was to show that the people of Vii gioia were peculiarly bound hy their tn ditions and history, to devote themselvo to material development, os by that alon the Commonwealth of Virginia cool ever hopo to regain her lost "rights an privileges." This I endeavored to il hu trato and enforce by appeals to tho ri corded history of popular governtncui in ancient and modern times, and moi especially to the origin, the history au the great works of Virginia np to th honr. As far as this theme would allow, avoided references to the present civil an politioal condition of Virginia, or ht present relations with the Govornmei and people of the United States. I seri ptilously avoided tho use of ono phroi calculated, or intended at least, to c acerbate the people of Virginia again that Government or people. At the san time, it was not my vocation to igno history for the purposo of palliating e istiog bitterness or encouraging politic and economical affiliations, which I d not comprehend, und perhaps, therefor did not approve. Any other conr would have been ungracious and nngrul fill to yon and dishonest of me. I su in substance that I believed Virginia d not need foreign capitol, ns in my jud ment her best and sufficient capital w in ber earth, her air and her waters, a in the brains and hearts of her peop That what she most needed was skill* manual und muscular labor, of both which abe had b*en violently despoil* that tho Saxon, Irish, Swiss and Fron was what she needed, with Virginians work with ?nd direct them. The idea limiting Northern immigration to "e vants and laborers" is simply absurd, donbt if there are one thousand nati born Northen men in the world in t capacity of servants, and who ever i ?ieots, tor a moment, that Northern fa ?borers contd be induced to oome what they are taught by many to belie and in their elections to denounce, ai God-forsaken land? Yet, I did not, word or phrase, pretend to exclude th or their more enlightened classes. It trne tu?t I did 'emphatically recommend that Virginians should bo employed aa managers and workers of yonr mines, farms and factories, believing that such men as Maury, Snthcrliu, Anderson and Ru flin, of whom there aro hundreds, aro quite equal to thoBe duties. I did also, with equal emphasis, advise against tho introduction of tho New England free school system, believing it by no means adapted to Virginin, and tliat Washing? ton College, William aud Mary and the University conld furnish better systems. Thin, then, is tbe head and front of my offending. If there be treason or folly in it, I mnst submit to tho penalty. But suppose the charge true. Had I been making an agricultural, address nt Philadelphia, Albuny, Boston or Provi? dence, and had said I did not want Vir? ginia capital or Virginia managers for mines, farms and factories, but only Vir? ginia negroes (now by law and conceded authority holding superior citizenship) for menial service, while the enlightened white men of tho North were capable of managing their own affairs, I nm inclined to think I would have escaped tho severe criticism I have been subjected to for saying in Virginia, that native born Vir? ginians bave bruins enough to manage their own affairs, and that they should be impelled by the pride of virtuous and free ancestry to do so. The charge is not true. I will not re? tort by alleging improper motives for its origin. My address will be published, us literally as I can make it in the words I used in its delivery, and those who choose to read it, moy seo whether I have over-praised Virginia, at tho ex? pense of New Eugland, to an extent cal? culated to irritate the sensibilities of those moHt delicate in tho new born love between the sections. I use this occasion, my dear sir, to ex? press to yon and the mauy friends whose g?nerons courtesy has sustained me under somewhat painful circumstances, my heart-felt gratitude and my profound regret, that, in the performance of a duty of filial patriotism, I may have mistaken the prevailing sentiment of Virginia, if I have done so. I am, with cordial re? gard, yours faithfully, JOHN S. PRESTON. THK SURVIVORS' BANQUET.-Last even? ing the members of tho newly organized State Survivors'Association partook of a ban quot tendered them by tho survivors of Charleston. Tho festive board was spread in the fine dining hall of the Mills House, and the proprietors of that establishment showed, by the abundant ?nd sumptuous manner in which they furnished the table, their determination that the Mills Honse, whilo in their oharge, shall not nnbeseem its old repu? tation. Col. E. McCrady, Jr., presided at the main table, assisted by the vice Presidents, Col. C. Irvine Walker, Maj. T. G. Barker, Dr. J. E. Prioleao and Col. J. E. Hunt. Tbe banquet passed off vory pleasantly. Among the promi? nent guests were Gens. Kershaw and Brattan, Cols. Wallace and McMoster, the Hon. J. B. Campbell and Rev. W. B. W. Howo.-Charleston Netos, 19th. RIOT IN CHATHAM SQUARE.-About il p. m., on Sunday, one of the Hibernian societies was passing up Chatham Sq tiaro, on its return from a funeral, when the driver of car 178, of tho Third avenue railroad, forced his car through tho ranks of the society. Tho driver was struck by ono of tho members of thu society, somo of the car passengers interfered, and the fight immediately became gene? ral. Capt. Jourdan, of the Sixth pre? cinct, with a section of men, soon ap? peared on the ground, and charging through the immense crowd that had congregated, succeeded in quelling the disturbance. Only one arrest was made. Eor half an hour, tho scene on the square was one of wild excitement and confu? sion. The wonnded were hurried away by their friends, and their injuries could not be ascertained. [Neto York Journal of Commerce. The cap-stono of the monument to tho Confederate dead, in Richmond, Va., was placed in position on tho 8th. Seve? ral accidents had occurred in tho at? tempts to accomplish this work, but no? body had been hurt, and on Monday, as tho hugo mass of rook was hanging over tho monument, everybody looked for? ward to another breaking of tho derrick. No one was disposed to uudertake tho perilous duty of climbing to the top and placing tho stone in position except Thomas Stanley, a white penitentiary convict from Lynchburg, who boldly volunteered to do it, und did accomplish tho feat. The crowd looked on in silenco uutil tho work was done, and then lustily cheered the mau for his bravo deod. Ned O'Baldwin, tho Irish giant, who was arrested with Joe Wormald for prize fighting in Ly un field, Mass., in October, 1808, was sentenced yesterday to eigh? teen months' hard labor in the House of Correction. O'Baldwin stated in his de? fence that Wormald had dogged bim and assaulted him nntil ho was bound to fight. He appeared deeply affected over his sentence and said it was all up with him now. Wormald escaped some time ago by giving straw bail, his bondsman being seat to jail for perjury.

The committee appointed to consider the plan of erection of a now temple, reported favorably on the scheme for erecting it in Charleston, and tho report was adopted by a very large mnjority. Several other committees reported on varions matters of Masonic importance, but of no public interest, and at the con? stitutional hour the annual election for Grand Officers to serve for the ensuing year" was entered into, with tho following result: Grand Muster-M.

Brans was recognized, and received, as the representative of the Grand Lodges of Missouri and Tennes? see, near this Grand Lodge. Tho Committee on tho Grand Lectur? er's Report recommended tho adoption of a resolution allowing the said Com? mittee to remain in session until the next annual communication, in order that they might huvo time to propose a plan for the appoiutment or election of District Dopaty Grand Musters. Adopt? ed. An officiai communication from the Grand Lodgo of Canada, of only Ma? sonic importance, was received as infor? mation.

A resolution was adopted, presenting to Brother R. S. Bruns, Grand Secreta? ry, a suitable Masonic jewel, for his efficient services rendered in that capaci? ty, and as a token of the esteem enter? tained towurdB him by the Grand Lodge. The Committee on the Treasurer's Report submitted their report, which was adopted; and the report of the Com? mittee on By-Laws, which was also sub? mitted, was adopted.

The consolidation of the two most popular Southern Companies ia full of advantages to tho policy-holdors of both Companies. Its expenditures will be leen, and with less relative risk, i'ho futuro dividendo will bo more certain, and probably greater in amount, and a better re? served lund created. NO BIGHT of old policy-holders will be affected; they will continue to pay thc same rate as j bc forte, to hold tho same policies as b< fore; to havo tho same rights, benefits and privileges as before, and havo equal present security with greater future benefit than before. All renewals of old policios will bo in namo of new Company, under special authority from the respective Directors of the old Companies. A NEW CHARTER was obtained with tho rights of policy-holders guaranteed, and we cati spe cial attention to the following desirable features in said charter: "SEC. '2. Tho business ortho Company shall bo to make insurance on tho lives of individual? ill all tho brunches of Life Insurance; to grant, purchase or dispose of aunuitics or ro-insure risks." "SEC. I. Tho bnsinoss of the Com piny SHALL bo conducted on tho plan of DISTItlBUT I NO TO Tl IK POLICY-HOLDERS THE PROFITS of tho busim HS, as her. inatter provided, unless by the consent ot thc assured tho policy selected is non-participating." "SEO. 15.

SEC. IC. Tho Company may issuo policies payable IN GOLD : Prutidcd, premiums are paid in the samo." HMi "SEO. 16. Tho permanent investment of funds shill be in mortgages or Bond on UN EX CUM BEItF.D BEAL ESTATE WORTH DOUBLE THK AMOUNT LOANED." We would also call attention to tho rights secured in polity us part of the contract. Rights of partv to non forfeiture in au tts policies. Bights of party to ro-instatement- paid np policy, and surrender value whore "inter ventiou of armies" or any other caneo cuts the insur? d off from home office. This feature, omitted in policies of Northern Companies, cost the Southern people very heavily in tho lato war. and should make them seek the only Company that provides against such contingency in future. Soma Companies now have in their policies, tba! putics who "luke up arms ?? gainst" certain named States, "or tho United states." render their policy null and void This is making cer? tain what was beforo uncertain, and is too great a mingling politics, war and lifo insurance.
