Great Thinker Mesting.-The general confer.
ence Of the Thinkers is now in session near New
Hope, Augusta county, Va. The Staunton Spec.
taior says:
1t is composed of preachers from every part
OF the United States, where the sect prevails. We
were at the meeting on Sunday, and are satisfied
from personal observation, that it was the largest
assemblage of people ever drawn together in this
part of the country Various estimates of the
number present were made by persons familiar
with large crowds, ranging from five to ten thou.
sand. Besides the people, there were from ten to
fifteen acres of horses in the woods. There seemed
to be one or more horses tied to every tree as far
as the eye could penetrate the dark forest, contig.
uous to the church.
This General Conference is the highest Judi
cature known to the TINKER church, and is held
once year. We believe this is the first time il
has been held in Virginia for many years.
"The Thinkers, as class, constitute portion
ef our very best citizens They are industrious
thrifty, honest, frugal and kind hearted in the
extreme"

Shooting Varieties in Baton Rouge. - The
Telegraph acquainted U.S. at the time of the occur
renee, that on Friday the 18th inst. Messrs Sam.
ue Odfeld and Henry A. Redding, two citizens
OF Baton Rouge, had personal collision, wherein
the latter shot the former in the neck. We now
learn from the Democratic Advocate that the al
legged provocaton was an insult offered by the
former to the family of the latter. The Advocate
gives the second act of this local drama, and seems
to think that this variety of amusement is very far
from being pro bono publicO 1t says
On Monday, the 18th inst, Mr.. Redding was
twice fired at from the house of Mr.. Oldfed, and
wounded in the arm. One of the shots also severely
wounded negro across the street. Another passed
through the door of Mrs. Mansker's house, endan-
gering the inmates. Mr.. Oldfed denies having
fired at Mr., r., and it is not known who the party
was who perpetrated the act Street fights seem,
of late, to be the fashionable amusement; an
amusement, however, to which there would be
less objection were not innocent parties placed in
jeopardy. We would suggest that timely warning
be given when the next one comes off.

Interesting PITCHER Presentation. - On the
evening Of Saturday, 10th, Thomas Richie, whose
memory will live with the Richmond Enquirer,
but whose latest editorial position was in the
Washington Union, was presented with massive
silver pitcher, costing more than two hudered dol
lars by the employees in the latter named newspa-
per establishment. 1t is engraven testimony

who have had the best opportunity to test his viz
tues and his WORTH 1t was presented at Mr..
Ritchie's residence. The presentation was wit
messed by upwards of sixty persons, the Presi-
dent Of the United States, Mr.. Crittenden, and
others being among the invited guests.
The occasion of this testimonial being the retire.
ment Of Mr.. Richie from the public press, the or
gan of the donors, Mr.. McNerhany, (who is rep
resented to have been eloquent as well as eulo-
gistic,) alluded specially to his long and active
participation in public affairs, and his devotion to
the American Union. He assured Mr. R. that it
was the prayer of all that the evening of his life
might be undimmed by even a passing cloud of
adversely.
The venerable executor eloquently acknowl-
edged the tribute, and the impression it had pro-
duced on him. He vindcated his claim to be called
Father Richie" by reciting here portion of his
long experience in social and political life. He was
not quite so sure about the evening of his lfe,"
for he said As to his future destiny that depended
upon Congress-" The old gentleman was.listened
to with marked attention. The ceremony lasted

passage that has ever been made between these

she measures 500 tons, and her engines are coec-

hundred passengers, are perfect, both as regards
comfort and elegance, particularly the ladies' cabin,

consequently, less affected by the motion of the
vessel, and has all the aproaranc of an elegant

"'Tis Distance lends EnchaRtment to the

Marriage is very often like a new country
more pleasant for the mind to dwell on
than for the parties TO dwell in. What ap.

landscape, too frequently turns out TO be bar
rem wastes aud uncultivated morasses. The
eccentrcity of the lover often becomes
hatefuness in the husband, while the love
OF music in the mistress is discovered in the
wife TO be only fondness for idleness, ard
dislike of kitchen duties. Now as what
ever disappoinie our expectations increases
our hate, it would be wise for those who
contemplate white vests and wedding rings

Mrs. Mallory that her husband would have
