them, then in our judgment, the time has
come to dissolve this Union! That 10 the

Gov. wise ON the union.

A Richmond (va.) correspondent of tho
New York Herald says:
was present to day ut a conversation be-
tween Gov. Wise and several members OF
the Legislature, on subjects relating to the
Harper's Ferry outbreak. One Of the mem
bers asked the Governor what he thought of
the Union now. The Governors reply was,
that he believed it to be as strong as ever
The member, in utter surprise, asked him to
state his reasons for this strange belief
The Governor said that there were elements
enough still existing 10 hold the Union to-
gether that the relations of these elements
to each other we're Of character 80 strong
and abiding as to render their severance next
TO impossible. The Union was, he said,
growing too fast, aud temporary check or
difficulty, such as the present agitation seems
to present, wac inevitable !; but be believ ed
that, in ten years, the Union would be
stronger and more consolidated than it ever
has been.
IsyANrIcIps.-On Tuesday morning last
our usually quiet city was thrown into q
whirl OF excitement by the discovery that q
widow woman named Moor, residing in the
eastern part of town, had given birth to q
child, which had been made way with in
some manner which demanded explanation.
Whom Questioned upon tho subjccs, she flrst
ocnicn uuvfug Et~v. birsn TO . child, and
suffered an examination TO be made by Ply
sicians. When the former surmises were
confirmed by this examination and the wo-
man was asked concerning the matter and
| assured that her obstinacy would not screen
her from Justice, but would only cause a lit.
tie trouble in search and investigation, she
admitted that she had had child, but said
it was still born. She was then questioned
concerning the whereabouts OF the body, and
after some hesitation told that it was in the
box of the privy, TO which place those pres

stated, covered up with aches and cinders.--

inn il will be seen that the Union meeting ct
