EDUcATIoN-INe First Ray Of Light
1t will be source of great joy to the friends of
Education-to the friends Of Virginia-to see
the favorable indications that now appear, for
the first time, to be manifested, on the part Of
the Legislature, to do something to redeem Viz
GINA from the whitening curse of ignorance
A resolution has been adopted, by the House
of Delegates, Offered by Mr.. VERIFY, } by vote
of 10 to A. appropriating the sum of $50, 600,
in addition to the Literary fund, for the sup
port Of Primary Schools This will do very
well for a beginning. No plan, however, has
yet been agreed upon and we are still inclin-
ed to think, that the present system will be
retained, with some little alteration.

WAR UPON THE ARGENTINE Re-
pUBLIc.-A battle was fought on the
goth of Nov. last, on the Parana river,
between the allied monarchical powers,
England, France and Brazil, and the
Argentines. These allied powers, it
seems, have determined to force an en-
trance into the interior of this republic,
by the river above named and its tribu-
taries. which is said to be nayigable
about 1900 miles. The object is to
''create discussions inthe republic, with
view to the dism emberment of the
union or the overthrow of the admins
tralion of President Rosas, and thus
open that part of South America to
European colonization.'' The Repub-
hcans were overwhelmed their forts de-
stroyed, and they compelled 10 fly
from the place. About 800 of the Re-
publicans were killed, and about so of
the French and English fell; there
were also a great many wounded on
both sides. Thus, we see the feeble
South American Republics trodden
down beneath the iron hoofs of Euro
pean monarchieS. This IS but the en-
,ering wedge to the grand effort about
TO be made, TO obtain the "balance of
power" on this continent.

Contention; but, for the reasons just stated,
and not knowing that our friends in the upper
end Of the district had faced right about, upon
the subject, zee took it for granted that THEY

With this explanation, the reader will readily
see, that the language Of cur article Of week
before last was used ironically, and with par
ticular reference to the course Of our neigh
bors. upon the subject, last spring. The lam
guage which we used in "the long articleo to
which the Register refers, fully iustifes the
explanation given above.
1t may not be improper to remark here, that
we do not deem Convention noac as essenti-
ally necessary to secure the harmony and sue
cess of our party, as it was last spring, at the
! time we first urged the subject upon the people;
for there was ample time, then, to refer the
matter to the people; but noa, only few
days are left to the people to consult together,
hold meetings and appoint delegates; and the
| nominee will only have eight days to spend in
visiting the different counties before the day
appointed for the election. The fact is, the
intelligence Of the nomination can scarcely be
circulated throughout the district before the
day for the election. But we have said e.
nough upon this subject, and will not recur to
it again. We did not ask any one to ''define"
his position, nor do we care straw what the
editor Of the Register, or any one else, has to
offer as an excuse for the course pursued last
spring.

In answer to the long article in the last
Woodstock Sentinel, on the subject of a Con-
vention, we would PROFOUND the following in
terrogatory: What new light has burst upon
the mind of The editor Of the Sentinel since
last week? Then he was opposed to Con-
vention,--now he is strongly in favor Of i'll
When he explains his position, we will be

A few words will suffice to show our neigh
Dor of the Register, that no ''new light" has
burst upon our mind, since the publication of
our article Of week before last, under the head
of candidates" None whatever But as
the editor of the Register does not seem to
comprehend our meaning, in using the Ian
gnage we did in that article, we will briefly
explain ourself. The editor very well re-
members, that when we urged the propriety Of
settling our difficulties, by calling Conven-
ton, last spring, the proposition was rejected
by almost unanimous voice, in the upper end
Of the district, il we may Judge from the tone
of great number of articles that appeared in
the Register and the Augusta Democrat, both
under their respective editorial heads, and in
the shape of communications. Some of these
sage writers denounced Convention in no We
ny mild terms. and applied such epithets as
''packed conventions, y ..caucuses," "self con-
stituted assenlblages," SC. to Conventions in
general. The almighty cry with these wri-
tiers was. ''Let Tie people decide" With all
these facts fresh in our recollection, and know
ing, oo. that one Of thecandidates recently before
the district (but since withdrawn) would not
consent. under any circumstances, 10 go into a
convention-we used the language in the ar
ticle referred to-. Now, mark it: we did not

Gov. MCDOWELL A CANDIDATE
BY reference to another part OF to-
days paper, it will be seen that JAMES
MCDOWELL, Esq, late governor, has
been nominated by meeting Of his
fellow citizens, for Congress. He has
consented to submit his claims to
the Convention which assembled yes
terday. Mr.. Letcher has yielded his
claims upon the district, and in justice
to MIR. L., we publish the following
article, which appeared in the last Lex
ington Star, under the editorial head:
JOHN LETCHER, ESQ.
On Monday last, cit being court day. the
gentleman, whose name heads this article, and
who had previously announced himself can
didate for congress in this district addressed the
people at the Court house, principally in rela-
ton to the course pursued by him in the con-
test between Mr.. Moore and Mr. Baylor for the
Senate in this district last fall All who
heard him, we think, must admit that his ex-
PLANTATION was satisfactory. At the close Of his
speech, Mr.. Letcher announced that he was
no longer candidate for seat in Congress-
That the grossest injustice has been done to
Mr.. l.. in this matter, we think every candid
man will admit. The charges preferred a
gainst Mr.. Letcher fer the part he took in the
election between Mr.. Moore and Mr.. BAYLOR.
are wholly unfounded, and we doubt whether
there can be man found in this community
who believes the charges which have been SO
unjustly brought against him. From what we
know of Jno Letcher, we believe him TO be in
capable ofsuch treachery-too honorable and
high-minded to seek office in any but fair
and honorable way.

RICHMOND AND Ono Rn1-RoAp-

RICHMOND AND ONO RAL-RoAD.-
On Thursday last, the bill Incorporating the
Richmond and Ohio Rail Road Company pass
ed the Senate, without amendment, and is
therefore law. We believe this bill, however
Objectionable it may be to some in some of its
provisions, will meet with general appreciation.
The road is not IL be constructed by appropri-
atoms from the State treasury; but the compa-
ny are invested with power to purchase lands
along the route, and erect manufactures upon
them, or make such other disposition Of them
as will best accomplish their purposes.
We are sorry to announce, that the bill in
cooperating the Potomac and Ohio Rail Road
Company, has been indefinitely postponed, by
a vote Of II to 48. Mr. Lee, Of Hardy, zeal
ously advocated, and Mr.. Edgington warmly
opposed the bill. BY this result, the prayer
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Compa-
ny, to construct their road to Parkersburg or
some other place suitable to them, has been
defeated and Wheeling, the point originally
granted, is retained.

Mr.. LErcHER AND Mr.. BAYLoR-Last
week, Mr.. Letcher's Gard, addressed to the
voters of this district, vindicating himself from
certain charges which had been circulated a.
gainst him, was published. In this card, Mr.
Jacob Baylor, of Augusta, is severally censur-
ed for voting for Mr.. S. Med Moore, for Con-
gress, 1888. We do not now, since Mr..
Letcher has retired from the canvass, deem it
necessary to publish the whole of Mr.. Bay
lor's reply TO Mr.. Letcher, although we have
been requested to do so. 1t is certainly right,
however, that we should insert that part of Mr..
BIS. reply, in which he justfies himself in vo-
ting for Mr.. Moore, in 1888. Mr. Baylor
says:
''.No,c, as to nay cote for Mr. Moore III
1888. admit that cast my vote for him.
But let US see under what circumstances it was
done. In this part Of MIR. Letcher's Gard we
have another evidence Of the unfairness that
an aspiring politician, seeking to uphold a tot
terlng reputation, and striving for office, will
resort to. Nearly thirteen years ago there
wasa very warm and heated contest for Con-
gress between Mr.. Moore and Robert Craig
Doth of them protesting to be Republicans, and
Moore claiming to be a stronger and better
Jackso', man than Craig. 1t was regarded as
contest between Republicans solely, and
voted for Moore because he declared and pro-
fessed to be stronger and better Republican
than Craig. In 1888 voted for
Moore because he protested to be a Democrat,
and better Jackson man than his opponent, !
was deceived by unfair representations. How
was it with Mr.. Letcher? He knew him to be
in favor of division of the State, that slavery
might be abolished IN Western Virginia! and
he knew that Mr.. Moore had grossly deceived
the Democrats in l633;-yet, with the whole
of these facts fresh in his recollection he bolts
from the Democratic candidate and gives his
support to an abolition Wing, and hugs to his
bosom the viper that had stung us in 1888
If, then, was wrong in voting for Moore in
1888, when he protested Republican principles,
how much greater was the offence Of Letcher
in voting for him in 1915, with all the evil
dences Of Moore's guilt staring him in the
face"

More ANNExATIoN-Am meeting Of the in
habtants of Alexandria was held recently, to
consider the subject of re cession Of that town
to Virginia and the almost unanimous voice
seems to be in favor of the measure. Our Lee
gislature, through committees in both its bran
ches, has reported iavorably to the re-annexa-
ton. All that is necessary, therefore, to con-
summate the measure, is for Congress to pass
an act ratifying the contract The committee
report That the town and county of Alexan-
da were formerly part of this State, and that,
by an act of the General Assembly, passed the
Sd day of December, 1889, the same was ce-
ded to the United States. Your committee,
on full view of all the interests embraced by
this subject, are satisfied that 1t will be advan-
tageous to the State at large, and especially to
the adjacent country, to extend our jurisdiction
and laws over them. Itappears, that the num-
Der of inhabitants within the limits of Aleyan-
dra, is upwards Of eight thousand that there
is an extensive trade carried on between it and
a large portion ofthe northern and eastern coun-
ties of the State, and with many of the State Of
and also by means Of navigation
with the Atlantic States, the West Indies and
Europe The terminus of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, which is conducted over the Po-
tomac by a magnificent aqueduct, is at that
place, which must make it the mart for the
immense trade destined to be conveyed upon
its bosom to the ocean. The value Of the pro-
perry now subject to municipal taxation, is be-
tween two and three millions of dollars" sc.

A WORD TO MOTHERS.

H EALTH is one of the best gifts oil
prents to their children, and with
out it, all the advantages of fortune are
but evils in disguise. Nature always
admonishes the parent when aid is re.
CURED. If young child cries much, i,
must be i'll, for it is not capable Of being
affected by any ideas, but those Of bodi-
ly pain or pleasure. AT such times
mothers are apt to give their infants cor
dials, containing intoxicating or supply.
ing properties, and though this may an
swer their immediate purpose, what is
the result? The children either die in
commissions, or live miserable and un.
healthy, pinod in their growth, with de.
bilitated stomachs, and pasied nerves.
The food designed by nature for chill
dren is so clearly pointed out, that it is
marvellous how any person can be mis-.
taken, the breast of the mother, or bread
and milk for infants, is so clearly adapt
ed to the delicate state Of their stomachs,
that nothing can be substituted equally
nutritious and wholesome. 1t is at the
critical period Of "teething," or when
the infant is withdraw from its mothers
breast, in order to substitute stronger
diet, that those fatal diseases arise W hich
sweep off so many tens Of thousands Of
infants annually. Who can estimate the
ravages madeeby aChoIera Infantum?'
And yet there is a specific for it, which
has necer been known to fail, when appli-
ed according 70 the directions. James
Carminative Balsam" is remedy that
has restored many laughing babe tothe
arms of the delighted mother, restoring
vlgor to the system, at the same Time thai.
i eradicated the disease. As men are
but children of larger growth the
same remedy will be found equally eff
cacious in Cholera Morbus, Nervous or
Sick Headache, and indeed all diseases
hat arise from disordered state of The
stomach and bowels.
