ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

We call the attention Of the Reformers OF
Berkeley County to the annexed letter Of the
Central Committee Of Correspondence" of the
late Sta,nton Convention. The letter will
speak for itself Let us have action--let a
meeting be called and the response Of Berkeley
given in such a way, as TO leave no doubt
about her ardent zeal and interes, in the cause.
We have had repeated conversations during
the past week with number Of our Reform,
friends, and they sugges, meeting on the
first day Of November Court, which will be
the 9th What say the Ereeui,re Committee
let them act---it is time the notice was inser-
ted in the papers.
SrAuyroN. Sept LIST. 1876.
Sir-By a resolution of the Convention re-
Gently convened in Staunton, we have been
appointed Central Committee OF Correspon-
dence; and have been instructed to communi-
cate with the friends Of Reform throughout the
State, to urge the appointment Of Vigilance
Committees in the various Counties of the
State, and earnestly request full attendance
Of delegates at another Convention TO be held
in this place on the 2nd day of December
next.
We beg you, sir as friend Of our cause, to
aid in adopting. with promptness, such mea
sures as will secure a full delegation from
your County in the December Convention.
We cannot too earnestly urge the vital impor-
lance OF vigorous and united effort 10 procure
an imposing expression OF public opinion
through the Staunton Convention.
II il be thought most ludicious 10 defer ac-
ton on the Convention question till after the
census of 1850, let it be so declared by the
Convention and the spirit, requisite for ulti-
mate success, will not be damped and eXtn-
guished, but only restrained. till II can more
surely accomplish the just wishes Of the peo-
! pie. Ii it be thought most wise TO press on
ward at once, the rally should be general, and
"the unconquerabe will, the courage never to
submit or yield" ill we have obtained our
rights. should fire us no,o with the earnest res
oluton to work out the regeneration of the
Commonwealth.
Allow US to say that if lukewarmness be
manifested now, il will be hard, very hard, to
arouse the spirit--to stimulate the efforts OF
the people of the Valley after 1850. But il
we rcsotre in full Convention TO "bde our
time" the hearts OF the people every where
will await in silence, but with repressed and
ardent eagerness, the time for action.
Let the friends of Reform be true to them
selves-let them either press onward now,
with one united phalanx, or let them. with
dignity, retire in a body from the field of &C
ton. 10 await a brighter day.
Hold public meetings appoint Vigilance

pecially the members of the Legislature, who
will be on their way TO Richmond.

TIE ADVANCE IN GRAIN, &C.

We are highly amused al the extacies into
which some ofour Democratic brethren of the
Press have been thrown, by the late news
from Europe, and the slight and uninportan,
rise in Dreadstufis. They seize upon the fact
10 prove the favorable working of the Demo
cratic British Tariff Act of 1916, passed BY
our Congress. Sir ROBERT Walkers Bill
and views are paraded before the enraptured
eyes Of the farmers, and they are told TO behold
what an admirable British Market they have
provided for ten, and what AN advance in pri-
ces have been created for their Flour and Grain
Well, we admit that Sir ROBERT is not the
first 'iiy that ever lii upon the chariot wheel"
and imagined that he kicked up all the dust,
nor will he be the last. as long as humbuggery
continues to be leading ingredient in progre,
sirenesS.
Now what are the facts9 The British Corn
Laws, which materially reduce the duty upon
our Grain and Flour. preceded, and had no
conaeXon in the slightest degree with the des-
tructon the Tariff Act Of 1912, aud therefore
any change or excitement in the Grain mar
ket in this country is Attributable 10 European
scarcity, and not TO Democratic American leg
islation. Paddy's Potato has more to do with
the matter than Sir BoBBY's Tariff.
Again, II is not an unusual matter that there
Should be an advance in the Flour and Grain
market at this season of the year, so tina, the
intelligent farmer will scarcely gulp down such
demonstration OF the superiority of Free
Trade over Protection, How stood the mat.
ter this time last year--before the schemes of
Sir Robert PEEL modifying the British Con,
LGics had been effected, and while the Black
Tariff Of 1912 was in full blast, aud high hopes
entertained that ii would not be repealed The
fact is, that Sir RoBT. PEEL had not even then
submitted hsproect. A II the restrictions then
which the Corn Laws of England formerly
imposed upon the importation Of Flour aud
Grain from the United States, were then still
in force, and whatever then were the prices oil

or the BalrIsH TARIFF Of Sir WALLER in 1886
Now by reference TO our files, we see that
Flour, Wheat, Sc. were several cents in the
barrel and bushel higher then than no,o--and
this when the BRUSH Laws placed the strong

Dangerous sifnafioa Of The u S. Brig
Washingtoa--L Loss Of her Commander
| and Elsren of her CfnC.
Mr.. EFF. O.msiead Masters Mate. u.
is. N. Commanding steamer Engineer,
came up yesterday morning from the
Capes, and reports the following melan-
cholly intelligence, which he received
from Capt. Wilson, Of the brig j. Peterson.
from Wilmington. bound 10 New York,
whom be spoke on Sunday, 10 miles 5. Of
Cape Henry:
Ia the gale OF The 7lh, when 10 sight Of
Smith Island, the U. s. brig Washington,
Lieut.. Bachc, on surveying expedition,
was knocked down on her beam ends, dis
masted and bad her decks swept; lost
poop deck guns and boats, and had twenty
five men washed overheard, IL Of whom
were drouned. Captain Wilson first saw
the brig on the 18th inst. with her colors
Union down. and ran to her assistance /;
when he was requested to lay by her,
which he did for the space Of four days,
and supplied her with spars, cable and
anchor. In the gale Of the night
OF the 18th instant, both vessels were
hove 10, and on the next day Capt. w.
lost sight Of the brig, 20 miles to the north
of Hatteras, at which time she was work.
ing up for Cape Henry. The Captain Of
a barque reported that she stood away to
the South on Sunday, but Capt. w. does
not credit it. The Steamship Palmetto,
bound for the Brazos. with Government
stores, supplied the Washington with a
s"all boat capable Of holding 3 or men
only.
Since the above was in type, the brig J.
Peterson has arrived in Hampton Roads
and the Captain reports. that among the
number of the drowned was Lieut.. Bache,
commander of the Washington.
Captain Wilson, Of the ]. Peterson, had
entered into written agreement with
Lieut.. John Hall, the next officer in CON-
mand Of the Washington. after the death
Of Lieut. Bache, to take the wreck into
port, for the consideration Of $500, If ef-
fected in seven days, and $50 per day for
every day thereafter. The agreement is
signed by Lieut.. Hunter, and witnessed
by Lieut. Robert Steinbal. Midshipman
R. Barber--so that their friends are thus
assured Of their safety up TO the time they
were parted from The ]. Peterson.
The Engineer was started back yester-
day morning TO look after the Washington,
taking in supply of fuel.
Much credit is due to Mr.. Olmstead Of
the Engineer, for the promptness and alac-
riiy with which he has piled his little
steamer in aiding distressed vessels an ar
duous work in which he has been inces.
sanity employed for nearly week.
