Mr.. MnLER's ORA1IoN.-The Richmond Inder,
ed ed by B. NJ. De Witt, Esq, thus speaks Of Mr..
Miller's Grafton in Richmond:
"HoN HENRY w. MLLER.-The lecture delivered
by this distinguished gentleman last week, at the
African Church, on the " Eighteenth Century," was
confesscdlv the most admirable, intellectual and Or
atorical effort to which Richmond audience has
listened since the great address of Edward Everett
on Washington. Indeed many intelligent men,
whom We heard speak of it. pronounced it to be su-
perior to that far-famed discourse. We were famil-
lar before with Mr.. Mer's high reputation as a
lawyer ard public speaker, but we confess great
surprise and admiration at the exhibition of the in
tcectual vigor fine scholarship and oratorical pow
er, by which VIC, in common with his whole audi
ence, were so Charmed and transported this occa

"CRAzY" BRowN-The New Hampshire Patriot,

aDemocratc paper, says:
1.-THE black republican papers continue to excuse
Old Browns Harper's Ferry kansas work " on
the ground that he is crazy" They say that he
was made so by the murder of his son by the bor-
der rufians in Kansas. But it is well known that
Brown was thief a robber and murderer before
his son killed, and that he was supported and
aided in his numbering and robbing in Kansas by
the black republicans of New England"
The Providence Post, another Democratic paper,
thus exposes the miserable old villain:
"The simple truth is that Brown commenced his
career as william long before his son was killed. and
that most of his viainous exploits preceded this
event. No man in Kansas doubts or has ever
doubted that he is murderer; and that he is a
horse thief might be proved, We Think without
seeking for witnesses now outside of the city of
Providence. He was a notorious highway robber
in almost the very beginning of the Kansas difficult
ties, and never felt under any obligation to coniine
his rascalities to that territory. He made frequent
incursions into Missouri; and before the Missourans
had done any thing more than interfere with the
Kansas elections, was known throughout his neigh
borhood as robber and cutthroat. 1t was in May,
1856, if we mistake not, that he dragged Allen
Wilkinson, very peaceable proslavery man, from
the sick bed Of his wife, and murdered him; and
Oh the same night, we think, he murdered William
Sherman James P. Doyle, and son of the latter.
who was mtre boy. 1t was long after this that
he made his electioncering speeches for the republic
can party in the States Did the republicans get
an insane man to electioneer for them? But, more
than his,-the murders charged against old Brown
and his son were committed seven months before R.
P Brown was murdered
But we are not disappointed The same organs
which applauded and honored this old villain, after
he bad stained his hands with the blood of Wilkin-
son, Sherman and the Doyles, will of course find
some excuse for his conduct at Harper's Ferry. We
demands so much of its supporters"

BRowS's CoSFEDERATEs- Richmond ENQUIRER
of recent date, no doubt speaking for Gov. Wise,
said -..
"As for demanding the rendition of men at the
North who, as aiders and abettors and accessories
before the fact are implicated the Executive of Vr
ginia only make such requisition upon a6idarit
or the finding of grand jury.
Should aJtdarit be made or "true bill" found,
the Executive of Virginia will make the requisiton,
no matter who may be the man implicated. A re-
fusal to deliver up the accused will be matter for
the people OF Virginia and the South to consider.
As yet no such affidavit has been made, or st true
bill found upon which the Executive can base
requistion. The Executive of Virginia will exert
all the power entrusted to him. in bringing all often
ders to justice-and position in society, in the
Government of any State, or the Government of the
United States will shield the offender. The higher
such position the greater the crminality of the Of
fence, and the more strenuous will be the efforts to
bring such offenders to justice.
The Executive of Virginia will vndicate her honor,
and we hope the Southern States will be prepared
to rally to Virginia when she orders her house to be
put in order The Charlestown trials may be over,
but the end is not get"
The disclosures which will be made in the trial of
Stevens before the Federal Court will most probably
lead to the finding of true bills against some of the
prominent black Republicans. At any rate, they
can be summoned as witnesses before that Court.
The Enquirer truly observes, "the end is not yet"

The University Buildings.

We learn that the rev buildings for the Univer-

and twenty feet east and west of present East and
West buildings, their full fronts facing northwards,
towards the village They will be spacious and
commodious containing two large and finely finish

cious and well lighted library rooms, and forty
goodsized and wcl-ventillated dormitories. One of
them he west building) is already rooted and even
in its unfinished state promises beautiful and in
posing frontage. The east building will be ready
for roofing by the first of the ensuing year, and it
is confidently expected both the buildings will be
completed by next Commencement We hope that
as soon practicable steps will be taken to put the
adopted design for the new Chapel under contract
as larger and better building of this kind than the
one now in existence is much needed and wished
for.
We learn that all the University buildings are to
be lighted throughout with gas, resolution to that
effect having been passed by the Building Commit
tee, authorizing ther architect, Mr. Percival, to
have the same executed also, instructing him to
make contracts with reliable parties for the
ry fixtures for heating the buildings
We understand that the architect, in designing
the new buildings, was in measure governed by
what the old buildings are capable of being made
in exterior appearance; SO that hereafter all the
University buildings may present an effective and
harmonious unity of appearance.

1t is generally understood that the black Repub-
licans have carried all their candidates in New York
The New York Tribune says "E. W. Leavenworth
and his associates on the Republican ticket, who
had to bear the brunt of both Democratic and Amer
lean antagonism, concentrated on one ticket, are
elected by at least 5000 majority" The Tribune
declares that the black Republicans knew well what
they doing in the late elections-that they vo-
ted with full knowledge Of the fact that the Demo-
Gratis were charging that by doing they were en-
couraging Seward and old John Brown. The Tri-
6une Furthermore announces that in no event shall
the Union be dissolved. 1t says the Republicans
will elect man like Andrew Jackson or Zachary
TAYLOR, "who will take care that the Union shall
not be even in danger of dissolution" If the Editor
of the Tribune and about one thousand more of the
same stripe, could be hanged along side of John
Brown, the danger of dsunion would be greatly d.
minished.
The people Of New York have deliberately pro-
nounced for Seward and against the South We
agree with the Tribune that they knew what they
were doing, for they were warned by Dickinson, the
Democratic presses, and the Democrats generally of
the State of the construction which would be placed
by the South on their endorsement of Seward. The
only ground of hope in the future is that large
vote was unpolled That vote may be polled next

When the returns from the several districts, says

majorities, their announcement was greeted with
much enthusiasm.
The leaders of the dominant party in the most
populous and powerful State in the Union, speak of
Seward as "the noblest son of the Empire State"
and avow it to be their intention to place him in the
Presidential chair; while in fifteen other States of
the Confederacy this man Seward is regarded as an

be regarded as fatal blow struck at the vitals of
