Letter from Middleburg.

{ Correspondence ot'the Richmond Dispatch
MILDLEBURG, LoUDoUs Co., Va, May ls,.-
Last Sunday was great day with the re
gious community in this vicinity. Mr.JOhn
Pickett. an influential and highly respectable
gentleman, was solemnly set apart to the
work of the ministry in connection sith the
Baptist Church. On the same occasion two
deacons were ordained Rev. A. f. Dckin-
son preached. Rev. w. S. Ryand presented
the Bible. Rev. G W. Harris delivered the
charge. Rev. w. d. Thomas presented the
right hand of fellowship, and Rev. c. c. Bit
ting offered the ordaining prayer. In the al,
ternoon q mass meeting was held in behalf Of
colporteurage, and $50 raised, which was al
forwards increased to $40.
Night before last we had severe frost
and fears are entertained that the fruit is all
killed. 1t is now raining, and the farmers
feel much encouraged, as they have been
suffering for some time for rain. The crops
in all this region have failed for several years,
and there is great scarcity of provisions
Consequently the price of breadstuE is high,
and the farmers are complaining of lizard
times" though the price ofland has not been
reduced. Some sales have been made q!
$50 and SO per acre. A lot near this village
sold the other day for 5000 PEI acre.

Death of a Veteran.

Col. Francis Otway Byrd, died at bis res i.
dence, on Tuesday last, May ID, in the 10Th
year of bis age. He was the grandson of
Col. William Byrd, of Westoyer, Va. In
early life he was one of those, VIII, from
principle, volunteered his services TO main.
tain the independence of our country. All
honor to that patriotic band! In the dim
distance their deeds of valor are becoming
obscured, and as one after another falls be-
fore the unerring scythe Of death, we lose by
each, mementoes of the past. In 1905, Col.
onel, then Captain Byrd, served in the war
with Tripoli, and distinguished himself un-
der General Eaton at the battle of Derna.-
In the last war with Great Britain, he was
in the regular army, and was engaged in the
battle of Tippecanoe, on the 18th of November,
1911, where ne was conspicuous for his gal
lantry and courage. lie was also present a,
the battle of Brdgewater-or Luudy's Lane
ON the 25th of July, 1914, where he served
under the orders of General Scott. He re-.
ceived from the Legislature of Virginia, bis
native State, a vote of thanks. and was also
presented with sword, in testimony of the
high estimation in which his services were
held. In 1855, Col. Byrd removed from
Clarke county, Va, to this city, that he might
be near his daughter, the accomplished lady
Of Samuel G. Wyman, esq, and in the new
circle of friends and acquaintance which
was there formed, he was honored alike for
his manly independence of character and
for his estimable social qualities. -Babimore

Political.

The Fredericksburg News, after announc-
ing the explosion of Democracy at Charleston
says "In this wreck Of parties and night
of political darkness, one star alone remains
to strengthen and encourage, and this is the
rising star of that party 50 appropriately call
cd-the "Unionists." With them will rest
the future of our country. Let them present
an houest, trustworthy and capable man for
the Presidency, and the spoils- seekers and
the money changers will be driven from
power by the Acknowledgements the whole
country. And new and better era will be
inaugurated."
The Herald also, after bidding not very
complimentary farewell to Democracy says:
And now that it is gone. we turn with
intense interest to the Convention which is to
assemble in Baltimore on the 9th OF Mag
We confess to the most lively Interest in the
selection that shall be made by the National
Wing Convention at Baltimore on Wednes-
day, and we rejoice that this goodly heritage
we possess hath, in its length and breadth,
scores and hundreds, who, under the bless
ing of God, may inaugurate the era of good
feeling, and teach the sublime moral lesson
by example, of the klessedness of brethren
dwelling together in unity.

Virginia News.

The Lexington Gazette says:-On Sunday
night last, we bad quite heavy frost in
this section. We understad that the Peaches
and Plums, suffered much in some localities.
We have not learned whether the apples sut-
fered from the frost The Potato tops, To
mato Plants, and other garden stuff, were
more or less injured by it. This, Tuesday
morning, rain is falling, and bids fair to be q
heavy one, and which is much needed.
The Charlottesville Review says:-"The
weather for some days past. has been Excess
sively cold. The heavy frosts have aided the
long drouth in damaging the various crops;
but the recent good rain and the prospect
of warmer weather, induce us now to hope
for better results, although the tobacco plants
are injured beyond redemption; as, also, the
early vegetables"
The efforts which have been made for
some time past, to start new town to be
called Rappahannock, in the vicinity of
Lewis Ellis Mill, in Culpeper county, are at
length likely to prove successful. Some
houses have been built, ss mill is in pro-
cess of erection, and project has been star
ted of building new cotton factory at n
cost of $4,000.
A salute Of one hundred guns was fired at
Norfolk on Tuesday, says the Herald, by
the admirers of the Benica Boy, in honor
of his victory over the Champion ofEngland.
The party wished also to show their detesta.
ton of Mr. John Morrissey, the prize fighter,
for his conduct towards Heenan in England;
and accordingly they burned him in eiligy.
The Valley Democrat says:-"e were
visited on Monday morning last by very
severe frost, accompanied by ice. The ear
" fruit was no doubt seriously injured, as
well as the early vegetables. The weather
in this region has been remarkably cool for
several weeks
The Warrenton Flag says:-Gov. Smith
has field of wheat near that place, por-
ton of which will measure two-and Il half
feet high. 1t will average knee-high the
field over 1t is very thick and growing
beautifully. We have not seen finer pros
pect for heavy yield this season.
1t has been enormously stated that the
Lynchburg train going up, dimes at Lov-
ingston Station. The buildings at that
Station are not yet erected. The train stops
to dine at Lynchburg.
The County Court in Fauquier has chang
ed the place of holding the election in the
Weaversville district, from that place to
Catlett's Station The Post-ofice at Wea-
versville has been discontinued.

Gree Speech"

There is great deal of Misrepresentation
and misapprehenson on this point. Nothing
is easier than to cry out free speech. Free
Speech" says Republican journal, Z" is as
necessary as the vital air" and thereupon it
condemns the South for not permitting ncen-
diaries to hold meetings in the midst of
slaves, and discuss the rights of their own
ers to hold them in subsection, and inclte the
slaves to rise in rebellion and cut their mas
tiers throats-for, if abolitionists are to have
rree;speech South, this is their doctrine.
Nobody North stops to think what this
free speech means when applied to negroes
at the Southland therefore they accept,
without reflection, this idea, that really the
South ought to permit Northern Abolition
lists to hold free speech against slavery there,
Just as we should permit Southern men to
talk in favor Of slavery here, where we have
no slaves TO be disturbed and no property to
lose. The difference is so obvious, it's strange
men OF common sense do not see it. Reverse
the matter, and we should do North just as
they do South.-B0Ston Post.

KILLED FOR DIsPUTING HIS BILL-About
ten days ago Il young man named VIM. IL.
Lyons was put out of q car by conductor
in West Broadway, New York, and he short
~ afterwards died al the Hospital. He was
found at the corner of Canal street and West
Broadway by carman, and at the time was
unknown. Ga the Coroners inquest, ver-
dict of death by fracture of the skull" was
rendered, and the body was handed over to
the deceased's friends for interment. The
detectives discovered what the circumstances
really were:-It seems that Lyons, on the
evening of the 10Th, in company with girl
named Jennie Henderson, went into Kipp's
saloon, corner of Park Place and Broadway,
tlr the purpose of getting something to eat.
When they were about leaving, Lyons asked
how much be had to pay. and became in
dlsnant at being charged shilling for a
glass Of ale, and nine cents for piece of pie.
Daniel Lewis, a waiter, told him that he must
pay. or he would be put out. Lyons replied
that he would pay fair price, and no more,
whereupon Lewis knocked him down, and
following him TO the sidewalk also struck
him there. The girl, getting frightened,
ran away, and the injured man, anxious to
reach home, got upon car, but was put off
by the conductor, as before stated, and died
shortly afterwards. The officers arrested
Lewis, and he is now locked up at the police
headquarters.

The excitement" created by the musS at
Charleston, will, it is thought, prevent Con
grcss from doing any thing until June next;
on the 18th day of which month, there will
probably be another recess to wait tor
events there. In the mean time, the Chicago
Convention makes another ''recess." The
National Convention at Baltimore does not
ask, nor expect, but deprecates a "recess" on
