Political SpEECHEs-We have listen
cd to so many speeches during the past
week and heard Of so many others, that we
find 1t Necessary to condense our account
-ofthem. On Thursday night the candidates
for the Legislature were to have addressed
the people none of them did SO, however,
with the exception of Messrs. SHEFFEY and
ABNEY. Capt. ABNEY made sensible and
perspicuous speech, setting forth the princi-
pies by which he would be governed, if E.
ted to the Legislature. Mr.. SHEFFEY spoke
with his usual ability. Mr.. R. L. DOYLE,
of Rockbridge, being in the House, was vo-
ciferously called for, and responded in one
of the most humorous, interesting and eff
fective speeches we have listened to during
the canvass.
On Saturday night. Mr. M. r. CULLEN
favored the Wing Central Committee with
graceful and interesting address, after
which the meeting was addressedin spir-
tied manner by Messrs. MANLY and BAs-
sETT.
The County Canvassers, and their As
sistants have been holding forth at the va
rious precincts--at all of which, we learn,
the Wing champions have fought nobly and
won laurels.

GEORGE w. TAYLoR-Late intelligence
from California brings the melancholy IL
dings of this amiable and excellent young
gentleman's decease. Mr.. TAYLOR left this
County nearly three years ago, and died in
Maraposa, on the Oath Of September. His
disease was diarrhea. 1t is comforting to
his family and friends to know that he was

ances from Augusta, and died with tri-
umphant hope of blissful Immortality.

CORRECTIONAL statement that General
WASHINGTON died on the last day OF the
last week of the last month Of the last year
of the last century, has been going the
rounds Of the papers, and has excited no
little wonderment at the extraordinary CO.
incidence. The fact is that he died on the
18th, and not on the 31st December, 1893.
Whether the year was the last of the CEN
tury,is, we believe, disputed point.
The error in the statement was discovered
by Miss PIKE, who recently taught class
in Mnemonics in this place. Being asked
what day of the week the above date fell on
she instantly replied, Tuesday, which was
found on examination to be correct.

THE LIEUTENANT GEyERALsIIP.

There is one little item in the political
history of Col. JOSEPH Johnson, which we
have never yet brought to the attention of
the people of Augusta. The fact is we have
had so many thunderbolts 20 hurl against
"Old JoE," that the very important fact we
are about to MENTION had actually escaped
our memory. We say escaped our memo
ry for it had not eluded our scrutiny. In
the course of certain researches made at the
very outset of the canvass, we noticed "a
mong other "mean tricks" Gas Mr.. DOYLE
would say of which Col. JOHNSON had been
guilty, his recorded vote in favor of the ne
farious scheme indicated by the caption of
this article. Yes, keep it before the people,
that the redoubtable Colonel favored the
appointment of T'Hos. H. BENTON as Lieu
tenant General, over the heads of WIN
FIELD ScoTr and ZACHARY TAYLOR, and
that too, in the face Of their unparalleled
success in toe prosecution of the Mexican
war. This caps the climax of "Old JoE's"
objectionable transgressions. His vote on
the Irish Relief Bill exhibits far specimen
Of his heart this vote for Lieutenant Gen
eral BENTON, coupled with his vote of CEN
sure upon Old Rough and Ready for his
conduct at Monterey, will give the people
some idea of his head as we'll as his heart.

we took no notice of the second discussion

were not silent, because Mr.. SKINNER got

ion such was not the fact.

ing the only reasonable effort TO establish himself

And this influence which is exerted, is so much
the more injurious upon the younger members,
from the fact that this appeal is made more par

Mr. Cass read the editorial in this morning

INTO pledge TO support the River and Harbor
