Large Fleet at Old Point.

The enemy have collected large fleet
in Hampton Roads within the present
week. They were anchored opposite Old
Point and Newport News as late as Tues
day last. What point is to fee! the weight
of this armament is not yet known,
though movement after the order of the
Hatteras expedition is evidently on the
eve of execution.
Signal lights ofunusual appearance have
been seen from Norfolk for several nights
past, in the direction of Fortress Monroe
which have excited the fears of the timid
by rcviving the reports that Norfolk is to
be burnt by means of balloons.
The invaders are daily practicing with
their fifteen inch Columbiad, which is
planted on the beach at Old Point.-R;ch-

PERSONS afflicted with the Fever and Ague,
should not spare either time, trouble or expense,
to procure DR.. Hostetter's Celebrated Bitters,
whose bcnefccnt effects upon the system has been
clearly proved to those who have been stricken
down in n short space Of time by this dreadful
curse. whose cheeks are wan and mcagre, and
whose nights sleeplcss and restless, and whose
eyes are dim and sunken, with death staring them
in the face, this compound must prove a blessing,
snatching them, as it were, from the mouth of the
grave None can know its true value until they
have tested it. When all Others have failed these
Btters have restored the sufferer to pristine
health. Their popularity in all the Western and
Southern parts should introduce them to all fami-
lies.

OBITUARY.

DIED, On the 9th of August, at the residence of
her daughter Mrs. John McMahan, Mrs. ELIZA
BETH LIPsCOMBE. Mrs. Lipscombc was born and
raised in Richmond, Va. She was the daughter
of John and Mary Pcndlcton. and was related to
many distinguished families in her native State.
She was the eldest of three children--Elizabeth,
Mary and John.
Elizabeth was married at an early age to Spots
wood IispcOmbc, and soon after emigratcd with
her husband to Kentucky. where they remained
three or four years and then removed to Beams
Station, Tenn, still hoping, she did until tie
day of her death, to return to her native State
While at Beams Station her two eldest daughters
married and removed to McMinn county, whittier
she soon after followed them and settled in Athens
about the year 1898. Mrs. H. was the mother OF
seventeen children, only six of whom are now liv-
ing. She was near so years Of age at the time of
her dcceasc. To her children she has left tho
legacy of name connected with many of the
honorable and excellent of this and former gen
eraticns; but what Is far more, she has left them
the remembrance of her many christian virtues
her consistent walk aud cOnvcrsation-and the
comforting that what is their loss is her
great and eternal gain. She had been member
of the Presbyterian Church for near sixty years.
The writer is permitted to make the following OK
tract from letter writer by one Of her children:
"She was raised in aiiuence and all the folly
and extravaganza of city life, with no mothers
gentle admonitions, having lost hers when only
five years old. Notwithstanding all this she be-
came pious in early life, and united with the
Church at about the age Of twenty. o, how of
ten has she talked with me of her christian hope,
while was yet stranger to God! always speak
ing of herself as indeed miracle of grace, and
one of the best evidences that Jesus Christ came
into the world to save sinners the 'chef of
sinners Nothing ever seemed to melt her soul
with gratitude so quick tho mention of her be-
coming christian; it was such miracle of grace.
But we shall hear her gentle, loving voice no more
in this world; no, next meeting will he in that
beautiful beyond. where there viii 10 more
sorrow nor signing, and were God will wipe away
all teari. 0, glorious hopol how it has strength
ened and supported me under the trials Of my
past life and it is all ask for the future. With
such prop can never, never sink"
'Elessed are the dead who die in the Lord. for
they rest from their labors AMI their works do FOL-
low Them F~

The members of the Winchester Bar have made

cd.
This expression of a preference for me TO gil
'ne vacancy alluded to, emanates from gentlemen
with whom i, n citizen and Judge have bcen
intimately associated for more than twenty wears
Responding to their expressed Wishes / an
nouncc myself as n candidate for the office refer
rcd to.
In doing this I am fully sensible of the fact
mat any one aspiring to that high office, no mat
ter how learned in the law he may he, might well
distrust his ability to perform its heavy and re-
sponsiblc duties. / have been acting as one of
your Circuit Judges for more than twenty yenrs.
ana within that time have holden Court in more
than onc-third of the counties in the State From
tho long time that have been acting as n Circuit
Judge, npprehcnd that the most of YOU are prc
pared to determine in regard to my qualifications
to fill the high office now aspire to.
Should you be pleased to confer the Office upon
me will duly appreciate the confidence rcposed
in me, and will cndcavor to prove myself worthy
of that confidence. Three other gentlemen hive
already had themselves announced as Candidates
for the same Office.
WIN. +. Cooper, Esq, in announcing himself
says that the Office in question is one which
ought neither be sought nor summed" Chanccl-
Tor Ridley, in announcing himself. says chat this
office is not to be sought in the ordinary mode of
electioncering.' Upon this subject / agree with
them, but at the same time, IL will, as l believe he
more cxccptonablc on the part of candidates to
he writing letters about soliciting the aid of in
dvduals, than II would be to make appointments
and to publicly address the citizens. All Of us.
suppose are generally known in the State, and so
far rs am concerned, am willing for the voters
to take the matter in hand without any further in
reference on our part and elect whom they please.
