MIXTURE

From an unpublished "Pome."1
IT'S winter, and no more the breezes,
Buz among the budding freezes
And while the boy, with ragged trowsers,
Shivering, homeward drives his eowses,
Newly frost-bit are his toeses,
And, bless my life. how blue his nose is?

Hacking Out.

Our venerable Secretary Of State manitests
disposition to back out from the position Whloo
he took few weeks ago on the naturalization
question. His action heretofore has been in &C.
cordance with that of his predecessors IN ONCE
Webster, Everett and Marcy but now he mas
instructed the United States Minister at Berlin
10 demand the release of q naturalized citizen Of
this country, who is native OF Hanover IN Ger
many, and has lately been drafted to serve IN the
Hanoverian army. Gen. Cass asserts that natu'
rallied citizens occupy the same footing at home
and abroad as natives of the United States, ard
then endeavors by aoourse Of special pleading to
show how, consistently with this doctrine, we
have not always right to interfere in behalf
of an adopted citizen who has been forced into
the service of his native country. he also en-
deavors to maintain consistency between bis
action in this last case and the doctrine laid
down in his LIE Clere letter. The Secretary has
doubtless been agitated somewhat by the popu-
lar clamor raised against him. We are sorry
that he does not stand up to the mark.

Opnosition State Convention.

The Richmond Wing of Friday last has an ar
tice recommending the holding of an OPPOSE
ton State Convention to take action with re-
ference to the Presidential election of 1867
We heartily second the motion. Politicians can
not get up great party to order, but there is
every reason to believe that the people are ready
and waiting for this movement The Wing says
snow is the time for cotton. Let Virginia
take the initiative, She has earned, by her no
BILE struggle u May last, title to be respectfully
heard by her sister States. Delay is dangerous
If the movement be postponed until other par
ties have acted, and men have been committed
it will be too late. We will be but cleaners in
the field. We are persuaded that the North and
the South misunderstood each other. Let glr-
ginia speak authoritatlvely for HERSELF anu 0y
way of friendly admonition to her sister States
of the South. Let her speak with calmness ano
dignity to her sisters of the North. Let hel
counsel mutual forbearance and spirit OF mutu'
al Cancellation and concession. Let her do moth
ing inconsistent with her own sepse of self-re-
spect, or that would detract in the slightest de-
gree from her own fair fame. But surely, there
osn be nothing un5ecoming her ancient renowD
in asking her sister States to stand where oul
fathers stood, to throw aside al sectional stries
to cultivate spirit of harmony and concord, enc
to live together in unity as our fathers lived"
The suggestion of the Wing that the Oonven
ton shall not be larger than the House OF Dele
gates, is good one. As to the place Of meeting
we should like to see the Convention assemble
in Stanton the latter part of September, but
Richmond be deemed more eligible we shall &C

| The GREAT IRISH REvIvAL.-The last steam.
err brings intelligence of the continual increase
and power of the remarkable religious revival
in Ireland. 1t is prominent topic in the news
papers we receive from Great Britain. One
number of the Banner of Ulster has four columns
in small type of reports of the various meetings
held, chiefly in Belfast, on the previous Sabbath,
and at the conclusion apologies to its readers by
saying:
$50 widespread might almost say gen.
erals the revival movement, that it is quite
impossible for US to present anything like de-
tail of its progress and results, or satisfactory
notices of any but the prominent cases."
The same paper s:-"The movement, which
must shortly arrest national attention, progress
es in manner which is subject of astonisll-
ment to all who witness it. There are now COM
paratively few who are skeptical as to the seri-
Gus and solemn character of the manifestations
even among those who at first were skepti-
CAL"
The Belfast News Letter says: GAIL evangel-
ical denominations have joined in this good
work. and success marvellous success-has
hitherto attended their efforts. Every Protest
ant place of worship in this town is becoming
rapidly filed. There are no empty pews now
no unoccupied seats. Every evening the streets
are crowded with hundreds and thousands who
are vending their way-not to the place of a.
musement-not to join in the giddy dance-not
to attend either theatre or concert; but with
their Bibles, hymn. books, and psalm. books in
their hands, eagerly pressing onward to the
house of God to endeavor to obtain admission in
time, so that they may therein hear instruction
as to how they shall escape from the City of
Destruction, and at length reach the Celestial
Kingdom"

The Battle of Solterino.

The reader will fnd ON the first page of this
paper graphic account of the great battle Of
Solferino, by Mr.. Raymond of the New York
Times, who witnessed the contest. Besides Mr..
Raymond, Judge Forsyth, of Troy, and "Mala-
kof," the regular correspondent of the Times,
were on the ground during the battle. The lat
ter explains how it happened that strangers were
admitted within the lines of the French army, in
the following paragraph:
ave have only been able to preserve our car
rage which is rather an elegant one for this
country, and two horses, by passport, as q
bearer of dispatches, which l was fortunate e.
nough to have in my pocket, and which was CIV
en- to me by the American Minister in Paris, for
despatches for the American Minister at Turin.
All other private carriages have been seized to
convey wounded officers back TO Brescia. This
mere semblance of oficiality goes long way
with the order-loving, respectful aud always po-
lite French officials. They did not happily even
examine into the utterly worthless character of
nv passport on the ground where | now am."

Prices of Gas.

We have received q copy of the American
Gas-Light Journal, monthly publication just
started in New York 1t contains, among 9TH
er interesting matter, q table giving variety OF
information in regard to most of the gas works
in this country. In the list of works there are
fourteen which use rosin; and of these, eight
sell the gas at 81 per thousand feet, five at So
one at 1914, and one at $3.50. Most of those
which charge So are located in the turpentine
region and have little or no freight to pay on
their ros;n. The Journal says, HRosn gas at 81
per 900 feet is considered equal to Coal gas at
$500"

For the Spectator.
The Man Tran.

Messrs. Editors When l give the plank
walk leading from town to the Deaf and Dumb
and Blind Institution the above title, have no
idea of insisting that it might not be woman
trap too; but as it is ascertained that men have
pedal extremities which are endangered by the
aforesaid trap, and there seems to be some doubt
in the minds of Bachelor Naturalists about wo-
mans claims to them, l call it "Man Trap" to
allay all controversy. Besides man includes wo-
man, and therefore when it is called "Man Trap"
it would comprehend man, woman or child
trap, we have among Others the Bible for author
ity on this subject. But digress. The greater
part of this plank walk lies within the limits of
the Corporation, and if any of the human family
get their legs broken by, or through it, the town
would have enough to pay in damages to pave it
twenty times. You are aware that the Court of
Appeals have decided good sound leg to be
worth ($9,00O) nine thousand dollars.

Terrific Storm. .

On Friday last, about o'clock in the even
ing, our town was visited by the most terfiuc
we have ever witnessed. lnaeeu
the Oldest inhabitants Of Staunton say that tney
never have known such storm before. Inc
rain came suddenly and in torrents from an ah'
CRY looking cloud in the Northwest, and con-
tinued to pour down for thirty minutes, durlns
which time the heavens and the earth were lliu-
minated by incessant flashes OF the mos' ori.
liant lightning followed by stunning peais Oh
thunder. The large drops OF RAIN desceuu'
ing in the twilight looked like brilliant dls'
monds as they sparkled in the glare OF the cleo
tr;citv The wind blew hurricane for short
time, but we have heard of no damage being
done by it. The lightning, however, struck
tree near the residence of Mr.. E. M. Gushing
thence glancing to the dwelling house, passing
down the chimney, and shivering the mantes
Mr.. @. received severe shock and Mrs. Q. was
slightly burned, but neither of them were Sc
verey injured. We have heard OF no othei
damage done by the lightning in town. In the
afternoon of Friday, however, we regret 10 learl
that valuable negro man belonging to Mr.
Washington Swoope was killed by lightning
A colt Cd the farm of Mr.. John d. Brown, neal
Seaunton, was also killed, and one OF the Messrs
Hawpe, near Greenvile, lost % sheep.
We usually contemplate a thunderstorm
with admiration and delight, as ons OF the mos
sublime manifestations of Onnipotence, but w
confess we felt some trepidation during the storm
of Friday evening. Our friend Mr.. s. E. CLARK
whose advertisement will be found in anothe
column, thinks such would not have been tn
case if we had permitted him to put for US
good copper lightning rod, as he proposed be
fore the storm. We have no doubt that rod
protect houses, aad that Mr.. Clarke's rods ar
superior to the old fashioned iron rods.

The Cincinnati journals supply history of re-
cent crimes to show that that city is not exempt
from the now comm on disrespect for human life
that leads to homioides, self-murder, aud MUIR
DER At Verona, Ohio, last week, farmer,
Wm. Kelley, was shot down in his field by a
man in ambush, who subsequently, escaped
The victim expired almost Immediately. VIM.
Rose was taken to Jail on suspicion of being the
murderer. He surrendered himself, as soon as
he heard that warrant was out Tor his arrest.
Another supposed murder has taken place in
or near Cincinnati. VIM. Bradford went to the
city and sold load of boulder stone, more than
two weeks ago. The proceeds, about eight dol
lars, are supposed to have tempted some wretch
to take his life He came down in a boat with
one Geo. Riley, and as he has been lingering 10
the city strangely since the man was missed,
his arrest has taken place. woman in one OF
the dens of the city was seen to be knocked
down with an axe on Sunday, and as her body
could not be found, it is supposed that it has
been concealed The husband has been arrested.
A fnll grown daughter was seen washing out
bloody clothes after the tragic event. These are
the chief cases which have taken place within q

AMERICAN MISSIONARIES In SYRIA.-A resident
T in Syria, not an American nor in any way con-

has notlved, and lived some years too, in Sy.
ria, can know how those gentlemen, the mission
aries, are respected BY all men, Of all creeds,
countries and classes in this land. In fact the
word american" in many parts of the country
is used as Synonymous for religious, God-fear-

however bigoted member of the Mahometan
Sect or of the Romanst, Greek or other nomi

the missionaries, although among the French
and Italians here there are not few who are
Jealous Romanists, and not long ago heard an
English gentleman when speaking of the mission.

honor to their country, but an honor to all who
speak the Anglo-Saxon tongue, and to this

works have been finished and are in successful
operation. As "a stock holder and consumer,
curiosity led me, in company with number OF
others, to visit the works to-day. We were
fortunate in finding Mr.. Bowes there, who polite
ly Showed and explained to US the entire es-
tablishment, and all its mysteries. The "bench-
esq or Gas generators were all three in operation,
and working beautifully. l will not undertake
to describe the works, nor the process of Gas
making, as to do so would occupy too much OF
your space. My object is rather to acknowledge
the deep sense of obligation that feel rests up
on this community, towards Messrs. WateIhouse
& Bowes, the Contractors, for the promptness,
fidelity and enlarged lberality with which they
have fulfilled their undertaking. 1t is the uni
yerssl sentiment of the community that these
gentlemen have more than met all that was OK

all their dealings here by spirit of geptlemanly

DEATH OF Hon. RUFUS CuoArE-A te

DEATH OF Hon. RUFUS CHoATE.-A tele-
graphic despatch received at Boston announces
the death of this distinguished advocate and ju-
rst at Halifax, on Tuesday, the 18th inst Mr..
Choate whose health had been failing for some
time past, left Boston several weeks since for
Europe, seeking in change of scene and absti-
nence from the labor which an almost unexam
pied practice imposed upon him, restoration Of
his physical energies. An increase of suffering
forced him to leave the steamer at Halifax,
where, as the telegraph informs US, he died.
Mr. Choate was born in Essex, Mass, in 1899,
and was therefore nearly sixty years of age
His fame and standing as lawyer and advocate
was not, perhaps, surpassed by any living mem
Der of his profession. He was member OF the
lower house of Congress for one session, and
for short time occupied seat in the u s. Sen
ate. In all respects he was one of the MASTER
minds of the country.
