both branches of the Legislature by increased ma
jorities. nj
MIssouRI.AThe returns from Missouri indicate
that j. j. Lindsey, wing, instead of e. F. Jack
son, democrat, is elected to Congress in the Ord
District The election of Samuel Caruthers, wing,
i'm the It'll District is confirmed This would
make the next delegation to Congress stand five

bly elected over Venable and Lewis, democrats,
in the fourth district; Ashe, dem, over Leake,
dem., in the third Ruffin, DEM, over Latham

New Jury LAW.

The County Court at its late term made pro-
vision for juries under the new law. A list was
prepared consisting of so freeholders from each
one of the nine magsterial districts of the county
These $50 freeholders are to constitute the body
of jurors for the year, from whom % are to be Sc
lected by lot for each jury term, and to be sum-
moned by the Sheriff least three days before the
court at which they are to serve. Jurors in civil
causes, are to be paid out of the county levy 5O
cents per diem while in attendance or forservlce
so cents for the first and rs cents for each adjourn
ed day or ST. 20 if he has served on three more
juries during the day, or on two or more one of
which has been adjourned to that day.
The August and March terms OF the County
Court are the two terms of the year at which grand
ures will meet and jury will be tried under
the new law. Each grand juror is entitled to
receive one dollar per term out of the county
levy. Any juror failing to attend without en-
cuse forfeits twenty dollars. Any person guilty

Augusta Springs.

These Springs, we understands have been quite
we'll attended this summer, and the number OF Wis
tiers is increasing. 1t ought to be,and must even
tually become place Of considerable resort. Inc
Alum Spring recently discovered there has been
tested by scientific gentlemen, and pronounced TO
be in no wise inferior to the water OF the Rock
bridge and Bath Alum Springs. A very fine Cha
lybeate Spring is also on the grounds. The Sui
phur Spring has been long known, yelling up IN
clear and copious stream from its fountain III
cool valley of the Mountains, it is refreshing even
to look upon In this hot weather. The water IS
described as STRONGLY impregnated with sulphu-
reted hydrogen and is said to equal the celebrated
Horrowgate in England"

The same writer says
Hon. w, G., Riyes,

The Richmond Morning. .Maapa the follow
ing just tribute to the character and accomplish
mens of the Hon. VIM G. RIvEs, of Albemarle
county, late United States Minister at Paris:
MIR. Rives, is man, who, both intellectually
and morally, would have grared the best days of
Virginia. AS great statesman, we doubt wheth-
er he has his equal, we feel sure he has not his
superior, in the Union. As scholar, there is no
public man in the Union, except Edward Everett
of Massachusetts,, who approaches him. AS an
Orator, in strength Of argument, elegance of die
ton, and earnestness of feeling, he is one of the
most eloquent and impressive to whom we have
ever listened. In his personal intercourse, he is
the simple, cordial, unaffected Republican gentle
man, who has the faculty, 50 peculiar to the first
order of minds in the South, of making the plain
est and most unletteed men feel perfectly at home,
in their society. lie is not one Of your "llttle
great" who are always reminding common peo-
pie, by their lofty airs, what condescension 1t is
in Sir Oracle to permit dog to bark in his pres
ence.
The private character of Mr.. Rives is above re-
prolcf. A devout ChrisLn, the unsained in
tegrity and winning amiability of his character,
have made those who know him best love him
most, and have secured the strong personal respect
and orfdence of his most uncompromisng poltl-
cal adversaries. We rejoice that Virginia can pro
duce such man, when she is tainted with de-
generacy and decline We feel as great respect
and admiration for him, in his quiet unobtruslve
devotion to the pursuits Of agricultural, as when
crowned into official DISTINCTION, for whatever he
does he does it well, and ''pyramid" is ''pyr-
amid" though seated in the vale, while, ''plgmles.
though perch'd on Alps are pigmies STILL"
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1853-08-10
The Alum Springs.

1t is said there are nearly, or quite, 800 visi.ers
1t tho ROckbridge Alum already, and "the cry is
stu they come" The Improvements designed,
not having been completed before the season CON-
menced, the accommodations of course are limit
ed, and the fear is expressed by some correspon-
dent that If the people ,rM come on, it may be as
bad as last SUMMER when two bridal couples had
to be put in one room,
The crowd is said to be clustered around the
buildings like bees around full hive. We won
der that some do not ''swarm outn to the Bath
Alum, the greater number OfSPriugs at that place
affords choice of different varieties Of the water,
besides that the water of the Rockbridge Alum is
also supplied there. To our taste the Bath Alum
is the more agreeable place the buildings are bet
ter arranged for comfort and appearance, the fur
niure is new and of finer character and the site
and natural scenery is far more beautiful. AnC
we may add that the convenience to the refresh
ing bathing fountains of the Warm and Ho
Springs, ought to make the Bath Alum by far the
more favorable location.
