Message OF Governor Letcher.

st4E 90 RICHMOND, Va, Jan.7. Q
Gov. Letcher's message, abiding to the
condition of the country, says all see, know
and feel the danger is imminent, and all true
patriots are exerting themselves to save US
from impending perils. He renews his
proposition in his last message for a
convention of all the States, and says it is
m0nstrOus to see government like ours
destroyed merely because men cannot agree
about domestic institution. 1t becomes
ourState to be mind full of her own interests.
Disruption is inevitable and if considerations
are to be formed we must have the best
guarantees before we can attach Virginia
to either. He condemned the hasty action
of South Carolina, which has taken her
Southern sisters by surprise. He would
make no special reference to hes course, had
he not been invited to do so by her late
executive in uncalled for reference to
Virginia. The non-slaveholding States are
responsible for the present condition of
affairs, and if the Union is disrupted upon
them rests the solemn responsibility. He
alludes at length to their aggressions, and
says they have the power to end the strife.
and restore confidence. Will they do it,.
He awaits their response not without
apprehension. "
He says our action should be based on
the wrongs done our own people. He
opposes State Convention at this time,
and suggests Iafr oi3 ~

WooD THIEVES PUNISHED. Three wood
thieves were arraigned before Justice Paist
last week. They were convicted Of stealing
wood from land owned by Mrs. Ramsey,
near the old race track in Rosetown. One
of them, Jacob Arnold, was sent to the
county Jail for thirty days !; another, named
William Leig, for forty days, and third,
named Adam Claus, was fined $50. We
trust our citizens and the officers will not
relax their exertions until this species of
robbery is entirely stopped. Several of
those most notorious in this business are
still at large. Look out for them. n,s

DR.. Reds SECOND LEcTuRE.-This lee
ture was attended by pretty large and in.
telligent audience. The subject was on the
four principle elements, of Oxygen, Hydro
gen, Nitrogen and Carbon. We have not
space to give anything like detailed ac-
count Of the Lecture but may briefly say
that it was replete with most valuable in
formation respecting those all important,
but most neglected subjects-ventilation and
drainage. One piece Of information regard.
ing the means of testing the purity of water,
we consider so valuable, that we give it to
the public herewith. To ascertain the rela>
tive purity of water, take small quantities
from different sources, such as river, spring,
rain, drainage, &C., and vary them by in
PRODUCING foreign substance, then take a
small strip of glass and drop drop of each
kind OF water on it, hold the glass before
the fire until the water is dried up and watch
the residue. If there is small ring with
the centre vacant, we may conclude the wa
ter to be nearly pure, if there is blueish
spot, the water may contain copper, if the
color should be of redish brown, iron may
be present, and white crust indicates the
saline waters. DR.. Reid also mentioned that
he was one of the sufferers of the celebrated
National Hotel disease at Washington, and
attributed it to the presence of one of the
most deadly poisons with which chemist are
acquainted, arsenicated hydrogen, that had
infected the water and atmosphere and rem
dered them unfit to sustain life. These lee
lures will be continued every Friday even
ing until the course is concluded.
