Etaunton Schooia.

The various schools Of this place will
commence their sessions on the Sd Of Sep
tember. And in view of the many exag-
rated reports which have been circulated
in ,elati,s;n 70 the health OF this place, we
deem i, necessary to add something 10
what we have heretofore said. we have
told the truth, eandidIy. as 10 the sickness
which lately visited certain LOCALITY n
this place. We made no attempts to cor
ceal the TACT that cholera did exist. We
now claim the confidence of the public
when we state that there is no cholera here
no,r, nor any other unusual Sickness
Staunton is as healthy as at any time here
tofore, at this season Of the year, and there
is not the least danger Of sickness, in pa
rents sending their daughters to our Fe-
male Schools. now about to commence.-
If there have been no fears heretofore en-
tertained by parents, on this account, there
should be none now. The town is healthy,
and sanitary means are employ ed by the
proper authority TO keep it so.
We hope those papers which feel in
clined TO do Siaunton a favor, will notice
these statements.

The cs,,hernatoriaI Convention.


The Charlottesville Jefersonian, has hit
on a good idea by which we can have the
time and place definitely fixed for holding
the Gubernatosal Convention tor this State.
The editor, friend Alexander, intends to
offer resolution III the Albemarls prima-
~ meeting, authorizing the late Democrat

the appointment. The suggestion is a
good one, and we hope will be carried out
The Jetfersopian has changed its vie"
Of the time of holding the Convention and
thinks later day would be more suitable
than the one FIRST suggested. From feceh.
indications, anda few facts which have come
TO our knowledge within short time, we
are inclined to coincide with our excellent
contemporary. A later day would pioba-
bly, interfere with the present plans Of

rascality to expose; but as sure as there is

irish Libcrality.

We were informed, somewhat to cur
surprise, the other day, that Maj J. b,
Watts, OF this place. sends off weekly for
the Irish labo,ers in this section of country
to their friends IN ireland from $50 TO
S100--or between four and FIVE thousand
dollars per annum. We were also inform
ed, that in two years time, there has not
been a single miscarriage Of money sent
BY Maj. Watts, occurred. In every in
stance the money has reached its destina-
ton in due time. safe. These facts speak
highly for the generous nature Of the
Irish. They come sometimes as far as 40
miles to secure Maj. W. services. They
earn their money by hard knocks under
the rays of the summer sun, or in the
freezing temperature Of winter, aud after
accommodating thus, at $1.25 per day
small piuenee, they have it forwarded
TO their more needy friends in the father
land. 1t may be said Of each of them in
their attachment to their friends.

The Heath Of Stauatcr.

We stated last week that there had been
several deaths from cholera recently in this
place, and mentioned among the victims,
old Joe, colcred man, Mrs. Nancy Tray
er, and VIM. Martin. The Spectator Of
the 23d publishes d statement Of the inter-
merits IN Thornrcse Cemetery furnished
by the Secretary. The cause Of each case
is given as reported b. the Secretary, by
the friends Of The deceased" This report
states that Joe. died Of "crathp collie. -
That Mrs. Nancy Trayef died Of "chclera
morbus p and thai VIM. Martin died OF
"cramp cholic.'' Now TO sustain our con-
sistency we have seen the physicians at
tending each Of these cases, aud they have
informed us that they were undoubted cases
Of cholsra. So much for the report Of the
Secretary o. Thorlrose Cemetery. Instead
Of four deaths from cholera, since the firs'
case, on the 18th, there have been eight

physicians who have prescribed in the
cases. The general health of the place j

that they have 10 fears in coming to tn

They need no "bIarny' from US TO induce

They know their own interests as well
as we can tell them, and better too. Con
seouently large majority of them act
with the Democratic party, because the
policy Of the party is to secure the greatest

that the Republican should assume to de-
fend the Irish from the assault 1t imagines

entirely, the privileges they now enjoy -
When the Republican establishes its elai n

time enough for the insinuation TO be made
that we are their enemy. We will let the
intelligent, naturalized Irishmen decide
