DEATH OF SPEAKER CRUTCHFIELD.-We
have heard. with profound regret, of the
death of Hon. O. NJ. Crutehteld, Speaker Of
the House Of Delegates, 3 position which
he has long held with, great efficiency and
universal sec eptability. He was an en!isht-
ened aud truehearted Virginia statesman,
and a genuine Virginia gentleman tone OF
the olden time" All who knew him adj
mired ;and loved him, and will lament with
sincere sorrow the loss which the death Of
such man entails upon the State and upon
society.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald says There has been much COM
ment lately in diplomatic circles upon GER
tain conversations Of very piquant nature
between one of the ministers of leading
European court and the Secretary of State.
Gov. Seward has not hesitated to declare, in
very decided language, that Our government
cannot tolerate for one moment any kind Of
interference in the domestic quarrel now ex-
listing in this country, be the consequences
what they may Such an interference will
be met with all the vigor aud resources OF
the government. 1t is said that this plain
speaking Of the Secretary Of State provoked
IL smile rather more grim than diplomatic
Il is now understood that an army OF til
teen thousand men will be concentrated in
and about Fort Monroe. Operations at that
point will probably commence slmultane-
ousiy with offensive movements in the direc-
linn OF Uurner'S Ferry AMI Rich Ond.
