Northern goods, and can assure his friends that

"TIIAT EXTRA"

but where is that "Winchester Virginian,
EXTRA" which you were to send us contain
ing the destruction of the LONG WALL. We
told you in the beginning that you would be
nearly out Of breath by the time you run around
the WALL, aad did we not say rightly?-and
we told you in the end that you were shouting
before YOU got out of the "'WooDs," and did
we not say rightly again? And we did not
miss the figure much when we told you that
GESERALs sometimes found themselves Under
the WALL. Did you hear ''any bones" rat

CHRIST HEALING TIE SICK.

Our citizens in great numbers have availed
themselves Of the opportunity visiting Vests
Great Painting" of Sc Christ Healing the SICK, )"
which has been exhibiting in the Methodist
Church for several days and evenings past
This picture is painted on upwards Of 200
square feet Of canvass, and presents 81 char
acters. 1t is illustrative of the Ia and l5wer-
ses of the Dist chapter Of Mathew, to wit -
"And the blind and the lame came TO him in
the temple, and he healed them. And when
the chief priests and scribes saw the wonder
full things that ne did, and the children crying
in the temple, and saying Hosanna to the Son
of DAVID they were sore displeased." Accor-
ding to our poor conceptions the artist has
portrayed this deeply interesting period in the
life of CHRIST with as much KING effect as
the human mind could possibly devise. The
picture bears examination, and the oftner you
return to it the more striking the effect upon
the mind and feeling of the beholder. We
would certainly advise all who have an oppor-
tunity Of visiting this picture not to lett pass
unembraced. Besides the deeply interesting
event which IS portrayed, it is worthy Of con-
sideration as an excellent specimen Of the fine
arts, which should always command the res
pect and encouragement of an intelligent peo-
pie. We have neither the time, this morning,
or the ability to attempt description Of this
magnificent picture. Mr.. MoRRIs, who has
the picture, generally accompanies its exhibi-
ton with a lecture explanatory Of the several
characters represented, which makes it per
lectly plain and ineligible to all, both old and
young.
He also has another picture representing
''Dedth on the Pale Horse" by DUNLAP which
he says is copy from VESTS painting,

THE SECRET SERVICE FUND.

The following is the message from the Pre-
sident, on this subject, which was transmitted
TO the House OF Representatives on Monday :
TO the House Of Representatives.
have considered the resolution Of the House
of Representatives of the 9th inst, by which
am requested "to cause to be furnished TO
that House an account Of all payments made
on Presidents certificates from the fund appro-
priated by law, through the agency of the State
Department, for the contingent expenses OF
foreign intercourse, from the 4th of March,
1871, until the retirement Of Daniel Webster
from the Department of State, with copies OF
all entries, receipts, letters, vouchers, memo
randums, or other evidence Of such payments;
to whom paid, for what, and particularly all
concerning the Northeastern boundary dispute
with Great Britain"
With an anxious desire to furnish TO the
House any information requested by that body
which may be in the Executive Departments,
have felt DO ind by sense Of public duty TO
inquire how far | could with propriety, or con-
sistently with the existing laws, respond to
their call.
The usual annual appropriations "for the
contingent expenses OF intercourse between me
U. States and foreign nations" has been DIS
bursed since the date of the act of May lst,
1910, in pursuance Of its provisions. By the
third section of that act it is provided.
"That when any sum or sums OF money
shall be drawn from the Treasury, under any
law making appropriation for the the eonun-
gent expenses Of intercourse between the =;
States and foreign nations, the President shaii
be and he is hereby authorised to cause the
same to be duly settled annually with the ac-
counting officers Of the Treasury, in the man
ner following that is to say, by causing the
same TO be accounted for especially in all in
stance. where the expenditure thereof may, in
his Judgment be made public, and by making
a certificate ofthe amount of such expenditures
as he may think il advisable not TO specify ;
and every such certificate shall be deemed a
sufficient voucher for the sum or sums therein
expressed to have been expended"
Two distinct classes of expenditure are au
thorised by this law; the one Of a public. and
the other of private and a confidential char
acter. The President in Office at the time Of
the expenditure is made by the law the sole
Judge whether it shall be public or private
Such sums are to be accounted for specially
in all instances wherein the expenditure there
Of may, in his Judgment be made public" All
expenditures "aceounted for specially" are

A FINE RAIN.

On Saturday evening last about O'Clock it
commenced raining and continued through
the night and all of Sunday. II was Just such
rain as was needed at this time-fallng gen.
lily and steadily, and penetrating the earth,
which had become very much parched in the
last few weeks. Also on Tuesday night there
was another fine rain. The growing crops
were beginning to show very plainly the effects
of the drought but this rain will set all to rights
again for the present Any thing like pro
pitious season now, and the wheat crop prom
ises to be equal in qantity and quality to that
of last year-indeed in quantity far greater, as
we believe the farmers have put out much lar
ger crops this year Our farmers are now
busily engaged in d" Corn Planting" and we
should judge from appearances an unusually
large crop will be planted out. We may re-
mark here that from appearances at present,
there will be great abundance Of fruit this
season, provided "Jack Frost" does not make
too sudden a visit to us.
Owing 10 the heavy clouds which hung
over us pretty much all of the day on Satur-
day, the Eclipse ofthe Sun was not witnessed
by great many persons. Occasionally, how
ever, the clouds passed away from the Sun,
when ii could be very plainly seen; however,
at lifetime ofthe greatest observation the clouds
were very heavy.

he left the office TO the amount Il above two
thousand dollars, and although repeatedly
written to by the President he did no. mako
up the amount until tendays before Che lnaug-
uration Of MIR PORK. The evidence ofal this,
MIR. IseERsoLL said, could be found IN the
Department
Nh. AsAMrs Of Mass. replied to this speech
in very severe terms, pronounced Mr.. lNGER-
SOILS statements talse--and referred to the
fact thatMr ISGERsoLL himself had been turn
ed out Of Office BY General Jackson for
peculation and said it therefore Ill became him
to make similar charges against others. Some
further conversation passed between these gen
tlemen in which the "lic'' was banded pretty
freeiy-and the matter ended by the adoption
Of motion made by Mr. PETIT Of Indiana to
authorize a committee TO investigate the char
ges against Mr.. WEBSTER with view 10 i'm
parchment. This course will perhaps bring
out the whole matter, and it remains now to be
seen whether the charges can be substantated
We see nothing in the nelo accusations that
were not made as confidently by lNGERsoLL in
the beginning, and such is our opinion Of the
dceuser that we feel satisfied he is only paving
the way for ga lo,cer deep" Who knows his
history but knows that for the last % years
past he has been engagedin this kind Of trickeTy
and we know not single case in which he
ever sustained himself. But we will see.

GOING! GOING-ALMOST GONE!
VIRGINIA ELECTION.

We lay before our readers all Of the returns
Of the late Election in this State, received by
us up to the time Of going to press. We hope
to be enabled by next week to give the full re-
turns from the State. Very little excitement
seems to have prevailed throughout the State,
and consequently the vote as far as heard from
has been very small. Thus far the Wings
have gained and lost 3..Delegates. In some
of the Counties, however. the canvass was
quite animated. In the neighborng County
Of Jefferson there were Six Wings in the field,
and as will be seen by the returns below, AN
DREW HUNTER and VIM. 3. THOMPSON ,Esq'rs,
have been elected Without any disparage-
ment whatever to any of our friends among
the candidates, for they were all good and true
Wings, we may be permitted to congratulate
the Wings of Jefferson and the Wings OF Viz
pinia. upon the election of Mr.. HUNTER to TIE
LEGISLATURE. Mr. HUNTER is well known
throughout the State, having served the Wings
in the last two Presidential contests as Elector.
His talents, habits Of industry, and business
qualifications will assign him prominent po-
sition in the next House of Delegates.
"OLD BERKELEY" for the first time IN ma
nv years, found herself "calm as summers
morning" There being no oppositlon-WM.
L. BoAK, Esq, our late worthy and efficient
Delegate, and ADAM SMALL, Esq. both Wings,
"good and true" Were chosen to represent the
County in the next House of Delegates. The
vote is very swallowing altogether to there
being no opposition. When occasion requires,
"BERxELEy" will always be ready to turn out
her "legions" Mr.. FAULKNER received 70
votes-he was not candidate.

FINAL ACTION ON THE "NoTrCE.~

Mr.. BERRIEN made report in behalf of the
Committee of Conference on the part Of the
Senate, recommending, las the unanimous result
of the conference, that both Houses recede
from their amendments, and adopt the resolu
ton in the following form:
Joint Resolution concerning the Oregon Terri
tory
Whereas by the convention concluded the
Goth day OF October, 1918, between the Uni
ted States of America and the King Of the uni
ted Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, for
the period of ten years, and afterwards indefi-
nitely extended and continued in force by an
other convention of the same parties conclu-
ded the 9th day of August in the year OF our
Lord 1897, it was agreed that any country that
may be claimed by either party ON the north
west coast of America, westward of the Stony
or Rocky Mountains, now commonly called
the Oregon territory, should, together with IFS
harbors, bays and creeks, and the navigation
OF all rivers within the same, be free and open
tovessels, citizens and subjects of the two pow
ers; but without prejudice TO any claim which
either of the parties might have to any part OF
said country; and with this further provision
in the % article of the said convention OF the
9th OF August, 1897, that either party might
.abrogate and annul said convention on giving
due notice of twelve months to the other CON
tracing patry and whereas II has now become
desirable that the respective CLAIMS OF the Uni
ted States and Great Britain, should be definite
