ford was called to the Chair. and jefferson Kin
ney, esq. appointed Secretary. 2l
Mr.. Pat,eson thereupon offered the following
resolutions:
Resolved, Tha, the hearty thanks of the peo-
pie at large, and especially of those of Augusta,
are due to the Hon. JoHN Minor BORIS, for the
lucid, practical and Virginia views presented by
him this day on the subject of the Internal In
provement Of the State.
Resolved, That this portion of the State agree
with him fully, that VIRGINIA cannot, must
| not and shall not be DIVIDED.
The first OF these resolutions was adopted IL.
unanimously. Some opposition being manifested
| to the second, motion was made to postpone it
indefinitely; but this was strongly resisted and
the motion failed, when the resolution was adopt
ed with probably not more than three dissenting
| voices.
| Several other resolutions were then offered bv
MIR. Patteson, expressive of his views in regard
to other works of improvement, which, on mo.
ton, were postponed to an adjourned meeting, to
rbe held at the Courthouse on the 18th instant.
| The meeting then adjourned.

that subject. He had avowed them on the floor
of the House Of Delegates in 1889, and voted
with the Delegates from Augusta in favor of res.
olu'ions embodying the same sentiments at the
same session of the Legislature. The Wings of
Augusta, moreover, he said had voted only last
fall Mr.. CLAY, whose opinions condemning
the Institution Of slavery were known and had
been expressed as late as lS42 in his reply TO
Mendenhall in Indiana; and the Democrats of
Augusta, he remarked, could not throw stones a,
him on this account; for they had voted not long
since for Gov. Mcdowell, who had also spoken
in favor of Abolition in 1882. in opposition to one
OF their own county-men.
The foregoing we believe presents correct out.

FLOUR MARKET.

The Winchester Republican Of Friday, on pub
fishing the news from England received by the
Great Western, says that without having the run
OF prices at the North, the merchants of tina,
place We're giving $685. barrel for Flour.
In New York the price jumped up to S5, 90
and 1915, and Wheat to 81 rs per bashel. A.
bout 5000 bushels of Southern Corn were sold
Tor expectation at GS cents.
In Baltimore, sales were made at 1851 and
So'a7; but holders were refusing to sell any
longer at those rates. The stock on hand was
light. and $3.50 was asked.
The New York Tribune OF Wednesday saws
The foreign news is considered rather favorable
ior ms country, and our market reports show
mat Flour has advanced in consequence 25 cts.
per barrel. The failure of the harvest appears
10 DC not sufficient to afford grounds for alarm
LOT the permanency of the present financial pros
perlty OF the Kingdom, while it will give ven,
ior our large surplus of bread stuls, and thus by
enrching our farmers and merchants react IA
vorably on our trade. The manufacturing dis
trlcts OF England are represented as being in a
favorable position, trade active, and operatives
In full employment. The immense laboring po-
pulaion of the Kingdom being in receipt of
wages are enabled to expend more in their liv-
ing, and thus every branch of trade is kept ac-
tive and healthy. The effect upon our country
cannot but be favorable.

~ We were grati6ed to learn from member
of the "Charity Division, No. 6, of the Sons of
Temperance" that that institution commenced
here in March last, has initiated upwards of forty
members, and that at almost every meeting new
applications for membership are considered.
In connection with the promotion of temper
ance, these institutions have other objects, which
give to them permanency, which temperance
societies under the old system were found not to
possess; and from the number that are springing
up in all portions Of the country, are led TO be-
lieve, that the friends Of temperance are beginning
to look upon them as the more efficient means for
the accomplishment of their object.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT MEETING;

very animated and interesting discussion
took place at the adjourned meeting on Wednes.
day night. The great battle was between ca
nal and Railroad to the Kanawha River, from
the termination Of the James River and Kanawha
Canal MIR. mcfarland was the ardent champi-
on OF RAILROAD, and Mr.. Joseph G. CabelI, the
President of the James River and kanawha Ca
nal Company, who, at the instance Of Mr.. Bax-
ter, was invited to address the meeting, presents
ed his views warmly in favor of the continuation
Of the Canal.
The subject was ably and ingeniously discuss
ed In all lis bearings by both speakers. The
relative original cost of each species Of improve
ment, the expenses of repairs, the rates of trans
portation for trade and travel, the profits to be
expected, the advantages or evils to Richmond.
the interference with the chartered rights of the
present Canal Company, the physical character
oil the route to the Kanawha for each improve
ment-in word, the whole subject was thorough
~ slt'ed In an argument of nearly four hours
FINALLY, the vote was taken and decided in favor
OF a Rdthoad.-The delegation appointed to the
flncasile Convention is strong. and fully CONNIE
tent to represent the views of Richmond. and to
advise as to the best course to be pursued tits
important that other counties, interested in this
grand project, should speak out their sentiments.
SO as TO present the matter properly to the Legis-
lature, should that body decide to extend the I'M
provement to the West.-Enquiyer.

OFFICIAL. PICKINCS

New York letter, published in the National
inielligencer, makes the following extraordinary
statements
Whenever, in the opinion of the appraisers, an
invoice is ten per cent. below the value of the
goods, the act OF 1912 ''levies an additional DUH
oil FIFTY per cent, over and above the regular d,i-
ty." Now. what do you suppose becomes of
that htty per cent. DUTY when collected! pre-
sumo you Will answer, "Why, i! goes into the
Treasury ." Not so. According to the con-
struction given TO the law, it becomes the proper

half, the Collector, Naval officer, and Surveyor
the other one-half, which half is divided equally
among the three. The next question is, do these
duties, thus levied, amount to much money
according to returns in the last quarter, they
were about 100000, and may be estimated at
sere.,'fy thousand dollars year, unless the system
be In some way changed.
GU Will observe that in assessing this addi-
iiona duty of so per cent, the Collector has but
little to say or do except collect and see that the
sum total is fairly and honestly distributed among
the parties interested, not one of whom has anv
labor 10 perform.

THE TRIALS.

The County Court at its session during the
past week was occupied almost exclusively with
tho trial of thu two Negro slaves concerned in ,he
unparalleled outrage perpetrated upon young
white Female in this neghborhood on the night of
the 2Sth of August last. ',-',t t-,t
jim, (the property of Mrs. M'Dowell,) was first
arraigned, and pleaded not guilty. The exami-
nation Of the testimony was then entered upon
The unfortunate girl swore positively to his
identity, and number of witnesses were intro
duced who testified to train of circumstances
which placed the guilt of the prisoner beyond
doubt. TWAS not attempted on the part of the
prisoner to prove where he was after an early
hour of the night on which the terrible crime
was committed ; and although seen next morning
returning very early, in company with another
negro not recognized by the witness, from the di-
rec!ion of the scene of the outrage, he did not at
tempt to proveby that negro where he had BEEN
so that the conclusion is irresistible that he was Ell
Their the slave accompice, or one who had know
ledge of his guilt. The trial, which occupied nearly
three days, resulted in his conviction, and he was
sentenced to be hanged on the third Friday in
December.
GEORGE, (the slave Of Mr.. Oh. CARRIER, was
next ariaigned, who also pleaded not guilty. The
testimony against this individual was not as full
as that against the other prisoner. But the oath
of the unfortunate girl was positive as to his den-
u'y. His form is very peculiar one. and such
as could hardly fail to be noticed under any cir
cumstanccs-much less those under which it
was presented on that fearful night to this I'M
happy girl. There were, however, other circum-
stances, detailed in evidence, going to show his
guilt. There was besides this remarkable fact in
his case.-Although told that he was suspected
within less than forty-eght hours after the &C.
currence, he was not able to produce particle OF
testimony TO show where he was on that night
Notwithstanding he had said, when the suspicion
was first intimated, that he could prove he was
at home On that night. Georges trial common
ced on Fridav. and was concluded on Saturday at
noon. lie was also found guilty, and sentenced
to be hanged at the same time with Jim
The prosecutions were conducted by the Com
monwealth's Attorney, Thomas j. MIcmIE, esq.,,
assisted by JOHN ID. IMBoDEN, esq.,, in most
able and creditable manner-as were also the
detences, in the first case, by JOHN b. BALDWIN,
esq. (assigned by the Court,) and in the second
case by JOHN B. BALDWIN and VIM. II. HAIR
MAN, esqrs.
The Court had truly solemn and painful duty
to perform; but they met their responsibilities as
became them, and we believe there is universal
concurrence in the justice of their judgments by
all who heard the testimony.

EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF.

1t will hardly be believed, and it is certainly
not generally known, that while two wears AGO
there were but two anthracite iron furnaces in
pennsylvania there are now no less than t,yenty-

tons OF coal annually. Such facts should be
spread before the people as extensively as posi-
bic. 1t would be curious inquiry for some gen.
tIeman having the facts at his command, to as
certain me amount of labor employed in these
immense works, tracing that labor through all its
operations, the effects upon the business of the

EXTENSION OF THE LOUISA RAILROAD.

The Woodstock Sentinel enters its ssolemn
protest" against the extension of the Louisa Rail-
Road to Harrisonburg. While it accords to the
advocates of the scheme patriotic and praisewor-
thy motives and feelings, it doubts the practical
billy and general utility of the improvement.
But lis most serious objection-and that which
calls forth the proest-seems to be that it may
aggrandize Richmond at the expense of other in
terests The Sentinel is not explicit as to what
or where those interests are; but we presume il
has reference to the extensive waggoning bust
ness done through that town on the Valley turn
pike.
We will only add that if the friends of the ex-
tension feel any alarm at this protest, and would
like TO get little farther off from their Wood
stock opponent, they can bring their Road here
where they will be received with cordial well
come and helping hand.

PENNSYLVANIA AND THE TARIFF.

The Democrats of Pennsylvania are evidently
beginning to look upon the late movements of
Secretary Walker with serious apprehensions for
the safety Of the Tariff of AZ. The leaders of
that party, who during the late campaign, repre-
scented Mr.. Polk as favorable to the present Ia.
riff, are now virtually acknowledging the fraud
they committed upon the people of that State, by
joining the Wings in protestaiions against it's re-
peal. This, indeed, must be humiliating duty
on the part Of the Democrats to perform, yet it is
one which they dare not neglect, as the future
prosperity and welfare of that State are known
and felt to be dependent upon the issue of this
question; and if it should be repealed, they will
be held responsible by that People for the evil
consequences that will befall them. They are
no. willing any longer to depend upon Mr.. Polk
for its support and are attempting in this way to
avert the dangers into which they themselves
have brought this policy.
~ a,aH,;"s latslJ i-~id "a; pi.,s1H arg ae,npos-
ed of Wings and the leading Democrats of that
section of the State, among others the following
resolution was adopted:
ResOived, That in view of these facts. the re-.
peal or modification of the existing Tariff before
any OF the predicted evils of the system have been
developed, and the substitution in its stead of a
chimera, under the deceptive and specious title of
FREE Irade,' known only, as yet, in theory,
would be disastrous to the present increasing
prosperity OF the country and evince an instabil-
~ In the administration of the government, wholly

AMERICAN INSTITUTE.

The 18th Annual Fair Of the American Ins,i
tuie, at New York, closed on Friday the eth
ultimo, with an address from the venerable Pres
iden'' Gen. KALAMAZOO. We have no, had the
pleasure Of seeing the address, il it has YET been
published; but we find brief notice of i, in the
newspapers.
Amongst other things, Gen. Tallmadge alluded
to the Farmers and Gardners' Convention, held
during the Fair. 1t seems that all but five States
OF The Union were represented. The vast impor-
lance of the agricultural produce of tho country
was dwelt upon by him. He referred also to the
manufacturing interests. A few years ago we
had TO import, nearly all our iron, lead, &c. be-
sides fifteen millions of silk annually. In few
years more, going on as we have gone, we should
have to import not dollars worth.
The Importance of the Protective policy was
demonstrated. A few years ago it was made the
boast that Southern States exported $50 900, 600
of raw cotton, and we had to buy all the articles
manufactured abroad from our own raw material.
Look at the transition produced by due pro,ec-
| ton to American Industry! Massachusetts, at
| the last census, alone produced $92 ZOO, 900 ;
| now she produces Sl20.00O,0OO! New York, i'm
| 1912, shipped from Albany, of agricultural pro-
duce only. $4,000, O00-now she produces over
| Sl4O, 100000!
| Even Pennsylvania depressed and disgraced
as she appeared to be, by opening ~ her increas-
| ed internal resources, sent out in lSi3 not less
than ,20s.0OO tons of coal in 1914 she sent | =
oOO,o0O tons, all anthracite, exclusive of 600 900
tons OF bltumlnous coal.-rhe result has been
that she has paid the interest of her debt: The
result to this State has been that instead of pay
ing SIS ton we now pay but So; and this alone
In the quantity focal consumed here has made a
difference of S25 1000, 900 in our expenses Thus,
Habove all, the charm is broken, the Rubicon is
passed; we have declared we will live by our.
selves, and it is the duty of Government 10 pro.
| tect us.
| Gen. L. continued for two hours to exhibit the
fruits of American genius under the fostering pro.
lection of the Tariff. He stated that % 900 arti
Giles had been exhibited at the Fair, and that the
average receipts the first week, for entrance, was
$1,000 day; this week little less. The adj
vance, in skill and Improvement over the last
year, was, at least, Is per cent.
The premiums awarded by the Institute this
year were thus summed up by Gen. Talmadge
"a gold medals worth $4lO-SO silver medals
worth S9OO-l39 silver cups SiIO-I3s vol
books S2OO-iO0 diplomas $lsO-Total 50 100.
