hoped that the recurrence of this great ma

late anew that love of the Union which seems
growing cold in SO many hearts. Americans

which this day brings with it, be Indifferent

instead of It's suburbs, there is very little doubt
that lis usefulness will be largely enhanced ana the
number of its pupils greatly increased, mary OF
our own citizens will then patronise il, who would
not do because they have to send their children
to the country. We see by the report of the
"Board" that during the current year seven young
men have been received under the patronage of the
Virginia Baptist Education Society. These added
to nine previously received, and now remaining at
the college, make the whole number of its benef

amounted to one hundred and taoentyeight Of totom
one hundred and SeUGnteen are now, or have been,
engaged in preaching the gospel, most OF them ac-
ceptably, many OF them successfully, and some OF
them with marked ability.

WHEAT AND CoRN.-The Fredericksburg Herald
states that the joint worm has deserted the harvest
ed wheat crop and gone to work in maraudirg ex-
petitions upon the growing corn.
The farmers along the Rappahannock have met
with disastrous losses in the way OF rusted wheat
1t is positively asserted that not single farmer in
Northumberland, Lancaster, or Richmond, will
make anything like half crop, whist many will
lose their all! From WestmoTe!anG, the accounts
are not much more iattering, and in both Caroline
and spottsyvania, the complaint of loss by rust il
very general.

Southey. Moore, Sir Joshua Reynolds and many
others of that stamp, to show its value il this

of life, should ever be mindful of the truth that
The heights By great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden fight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toilng upg ard iii the night.

DEATH OF THOMAS RITCHIE, sn

DEATH OF THOMAS RITCHIE, SR.
The veteran of the Press of Virginia rests
from his labors. At half past le O'Clock on
yesterday, THOMAS RrrcHiE, ST.. full of years
and full of honors, departed this life vi
him truly it may be said, he rests from MS
abors, for his existence was an existence OF
labor, and his energy would never let him
rest till repose was forced upon him in the
slumbers Of his grave.
Hereafter we may speak of Thos. Richie
more at large. He was a native of Essex
county, in this State, and had attained, at the
period of his decease, a venerable age. He
commenced the publication of the Richmond
Enquirer, in this city, on the 9th of May,
1904, and continued to WELD the editorial
to Washington, and took charge of the
Washington Union, under the administration
OF James X. Polk. He was thus, for nearly
fifty years, connected with the press, and his
editorial fame was coextensive with the
Union. He was the wisest of party leaders;
dignifed and moderate as an editor, yet per-
severing and indomitable
He was man of incredible energy. He
seemed absolutely refreshed and animated by
labors which would have exhausted End over
matched most men. He was at one time the
editor of both the Enquirer and the Compiler
of this city, and he did ample justice to the
duties Of both editorial chairs AS a man, be
was full of kindly and generous impulses; he
was courteous, elevated and pure. AS pa
triot, who loved Virginia more than Thomas
Richie And who labored with more intel
ligent zeal for the Union? On the eve of the
anniversary of national independence, his
spirit has winged its way to better world
If his dying eye has looked upon States es
tranged and the stars of the federal constella
ton becoming dim, and threatening to shoot
madly from their spheres, the responsibility
of that mournful state of things cannot rest
upon him.
He has passed away at ripe old age, ole
in body, but young in soul. Peace to his
ashes, and may his memory be ever green
