COOP MEN DEPARTED.


It but seldom occurs, that we are called upon
TO chronicle in one issue of four paper, the decease
of ta o citizens of our county, enjoying equally
the confidence and reepect-the universal love
and admiration of their %neighbors and the devo-
ton of their friends-as in the present. JOHN
YArEs and BUsHRop, c. WAsHlSeToN, Esqs., are
no more They have departed in peace with the
world, 10 the spirit land. ,Mr:yAFne died uuIhe
9th OF July, in the county Of Cumberland, Eng.
land, whittier he had gone in hopes partly of re-
cruiting his health, no less than once again to
visit the home of his fathers. lie was aged
about 10 years-was born in England, though he
emigrated 10 this country some fifty odd years
ago, and has reared a large and most respected
family in our midst. MIR. WAsuIEGToN died on
Sunday morning last, after an illness somewhat
protracied, in the 6lst year Of his age, leaving a
most extensive family connection, and the whole
community, TO mourn his unexpected death
These gentlemen have long been regarded as the
wealthiest Of our county-enterprising, humane
and benevolent in their private and public inter-
course-plain and unassuming in manner, and
courteous and kind TO all. To the Church they
were most efficient props-to the county wise,
discreet and judicious Magisterial oficers-to
the poor a friend and TO all good councillors and
wise instructors. Their loss is universally lamens
ted, and their relations have the deepest sympa-
thy ofthe community in this hour Of their be,
reavement.

From almost every part of our Stale, the most

informed there had been,no rain to do any good
for near three months, the springs were nearly
'alldried up, and vegetation generally was parched

a most suspicious one, and rarely have we had

iay from "a ID noerdt, = giving as i does a full
and impartial review OF allIhes attendant circum.
stances pertaining to'the fret and second Con-
oressionaI Conventions in this DiEtrict, renders
anything further Unnecessary on our part. The
facts that are therein set forth 1no man IN the
District can deny, and The conclusionssto which

tence with that which ever Democrat WHO can

The Iandalions OF tue Winchester Virginian
on the second Convention, are so supremely ri--
dealeus1 that an exposure Of its absurdiiliesis
scarcely demauded3 though out correspondent
above referred. to has laid barelts naked 1efOrmi-
ties. =
Whether Mr.. Byrd will accept the domination
rendered in the mode and manner and under the
circumstances which this has been, we can only
FFeak from rumor. 1t is said letter has been
received from him in Winchester d~ecl1ring his
purpose 10 accept, and that at The earliest period
POSSIBLE after the adjournment OF the Convention,
he wo uld be at home TO enter upon the canvass.
Well, be it so. If MIR. Byrd and his second re-
surrectionists are determined 10 cast aside all the
usages of the party-to distract and divide the
Distuict-to coalesce with the Wings, in order TO
obtain a temporary ascendancy-to sacrifice their
W. champion apdthe noblest " Roman Of them
ALL" 10 crafty personal animosity and stubborn
opposition ola %factious few, long will they live to
rue these deeds Of madness and Of folly.
We are too sangLinc OF success, however, un-
der any circumstances, TO speak of this second
Convention and its projectors, as the enormity Of
the case deserves. Were it the people, we
should be content and bow in humble submission
TO their mandate. But when a fey old "Fogies'
I o the Democratic party, who have outlived their
principles and their claim to public confidence,
and hang as an incubus upon its outskirts to grasp
the loayes and fishes, attempt 10 rule or ruin,
we have confidence enough in the discrimination
of the people, to believe they are doomed to an
utter and irrevocable overthrow.

ORKNEY SPRINGS.

This watering place, though visited for haiI a
century by the inncighbors adjacent, is Just becom-
iug known to the people generally, and is soon
destined TO be one among the most pleasant }e-
sorts in our State. These springs, several in
rumber, are located about Is miles North Wsst
Of Mount Ja Jackson, Shenandoah county. in a most
wild and romantic region of country, where fhe
Eurc mountain air seeks ia vent through its at.
t%factive valleys. The character of the waters is
unsurpassed. and strongly ChaTybeate, Tonic and
tnvigorating in their effects. For all cutaneous
diseases, the Bear Wallow" stands unriva!Ied
among the numerous Medicinal waters of Yir.
ginia.
AT this place, there arc! some fifty comfortable
cabins, where the farmers of the adjacent coun.
try resort with their families during the sumner,
and " keep house. on their own hook. The grin
cipal hotel, capacious enough TO accommodate
some three hundred, is owned and under thesu.
perintendence ofMr. AS r. SEYMOUR, who lcsves
no efforts INT ried to minister to every comfort
and desire of his guests. The attractions Of

from being aneye witness Of these romantic spots

opportunities Of examining all their beauties, in

Among these were the sprightly Miss S. Ct W.,
