First Baptist Church Of this city.
The biennial Convention Of the Baptis'
Churches Of the South will meet in this city or.
Friday next
1t is expected that the members in attend
ancc upon both the Association and Conven
ton, will he much larger than usual, and re
presented hv the best talent ir the Baptist
Ministry and laity.
The addresses upon. and discussions Of, the
reports Of the various Boards Of the Associa-
ton, will doubtless be deeply interesting.
A meeting OF so large number oi living, ac
tive, working Christian men, in onr midst, will
doubtless be instrumental! Of great gooi to OH
citizens.
The various Boards of the Virginia Baptist
Association are not merely nominal, hut ar,
managed with great efficiency TO the good o.
thousands of children AMI adults, both whit.
and black. not only in the cities and towns, but
in the thnly populated and most destitute por'
tions OF our State
In this city the Baptis,s have larger white
church.membership, and more children in their
Sunday Schools, than any one other denomna
ton; and they number nearly 1000 blacks in
their churches in this city. or about one.fourth
Of the entire black population. The Baptists eve

as a consequence, the community and them

DOCUMENTS. DOCUMENTS!

In few days the Documents for the cam
paign will be ready for distribution. We hav'
proposed. as the best manner Of distribution
that our exchanges in Virginia shall issue these
documents as ertroa But, as yet, we have re-
ceired an order from only one papcr-thc
Abingdon democrat We hope that OIL,
exchanges will aid in the distribution Of these
documents, for unless they do there will be no
means OF counteracting the impressions made
by the food Of documents put forth by the
Opposition Letters from every section Of the
State have been received, asking for documents
to met those with which the State has been
flooded by the Opposition.
The Democratic party Of Virginia have no
organized culrcrt club, for the compilation and
distribution Of documents. No circular for
money has been issued for aid in the CANVASS
and the expense Of the documents must be met
by the press Of our party. We shall only fill
orders, and incur no extra expense, except such
as NAV be covered by orders already received.
The Democratic papers should aid us to dis.
tribute these documents; hut is yet, they have
shown no disposition Ia aid in the expense
We hope to receive the orders as soon as pos
sible. for, unless We know what number ofcopies
to print, the type will be distributed, and then
none can be obtained. Scnd in orders immc-
datey. Price s. per hundred.

LETTER FROM HON. John LETCHER.


We publish below letter received from Mr..
Letcher on Yesterday tthc 2Gth) We sincerely
re gret that his health, and that especially his
extreme hoarseness has prevented him from
continuing TO accompany Mr. Gogsin in his
Eastern appointments. Mr. Letchcr was win
ming votes at each discussion with his opponent,
md had he been able tospeak with Mr. Goggln
1t every point, he would have aroused the East
to the EXTREMIST pitch of enthusiasm.
Every intelligent Democrat must have been
more than gratihcd at the effect Of these discus
sions.
John Lctch.r's speeches are those of grave
md intelligent statesman, with reputation to
maintain; while Mr.. Goggin's are those Of
mere office seeker. The former depends upon
sound arguments. the other upon fun and anec-
io,e. Letcher convinces the honest masses; !;
Gogsin makes Hnon.Nothi"gs laugh.
Wesincerely trust that Mr. Letcher will soon
recover his vuicc, and be able to address the
people Of Norfolk before the election. Should
he not, however, he will write an address to
his fellow citizens Of Virginia suited to the oc-
caSion.

The Convention that recently met in Lynch.

SCANDINAVIAN LITERATURE.

We have had the pleasure Of an interview
with Professor Paul c. Sinding, Of Copenha,
gen, now Professor Of Scandinavian Literature
in the University Of the city Of New York.
lie has come to our city in order to bring into
notice his new History of Scandinavia, from
the earliest times Of the Nor-cmen and Vikings
to the present day." The subject is most in
tcrcstng one, and but little known to the Ame-
rican public; and the accomplished Professor
has handled it with skill and ability. The au-
thor comes to us, highly commended by the
best scholars and journals Of the country, and
we take pleasure in introducing him TO our
fellow-citizcns, and in wishing him success.
