FROM THE FIRST VIRGINIA. w @ receiv-
ID letter last evening from friend in the
First Virginia, The regiment is still at
Petersburg, and the boys are in tine spirits
and enjoying themselves as well as could,
be expected under the circumstances. Hal
low Eve was grand gala night. The diff
tsrent regiments availed themselves of the
opportunity, and perpetrated many good
jokes upon their neighbors.
Last week some of M;Neirs men attempt.
ed to capture the mail. Our cavalry was
moving leisurely along, and one of the boys
cried HALO, Mike Have "a celebrated
guerrilla) come down aud get the Balti-
more american" He had no sooner said It
than three men stepped out of the bushes
and said, ;" Well, here, hand it Gown" e.
guess not" says the mail carrier, wheelin,
around and riding the other way. After b
had turned he saw twelve or sixteen mel
spring up before him. The whole squad Q
eight men fred all their loads and then Gu
their way out. There were four men wound
ed, but escaped. The rebels were foiled i
their attempt, and the carrier escaped witt
his mail. 81 e.

Let those that now assail the Democratic
party remember one fact-that history hat
INDICATED every position and justified eve,
~ important act of that party from the or
ganization of the Government down te
now.
Discreet men, who anticipate future,
and do not object to the enjoyment of self.
respect in time, better ruminate little on
this significant truth. Without claiming
absolute lnfallibility, the Democracy have a
right to dwell with satisfaction and pride
upon the fact that their success has been
uniformly the prosperity and progress OF
the country and the happiness of the peo-
pie; that their cardinal principles have
passed into laws, that their theories of self
government have the well settled convic
tions of anti-monarchists all the world
over.
They can, therefore, bear reproach with
comparative indifference. They adhere still
to their cardinal principles and rely upon
the sober second thought of the people,
knowing that their principles possess vi
tally which can never DO weakened either
by calumny or defeat.-Milpaukee Nes0s.

1 Government Experimental
Farm.

The idea of establishing al experiment
tai farm, to be upder supervision OF the
Commissioner of Agriculture, in connection
with an agricultural school or college, has
been entertained for many years by some
of our most distinguished men, who venti'
lated the subject before the war broke out,
but which has since been swept down the
current of time by more urgent and imme-
diate business until now, when it is propo-
sed to bring the matter before the next
Congress. An effort, which will be sustained
bv strong interests, will then be made to
obtain an appropriation for this purpose
The importance and benefit accruing from
such institutions Gao hardly be realized
In an agricultural country like this, 1t IS
surprising to US that one has not
been established already. In England and
Ireland they are almost as numerous as the
churches, and are source of much pride
/ with the yeomsnry, who look to them tor
instruction The subject is fully treated in
the last monthly crop report Of tho Com
missioner Of agriculture, who is an adyo'
cate of the scheme. Since the wealth OF
nation consists in its agriculture, the sub
isct should receive the oommendation o.
the public.

APPROACH OF WINrER.-The herald

This class suffer much, and their depriva-

SoSs OF MALTA,-The Supreme Grand
Commsndery of the Sons Of Malta Of the
United States, has called meeting to be
held at Washington on the 10th last, for
the purpose Of institutipg measures for the
renewal of the practice Of those principles
of charity, peculiar to the order, which
"while spreading broadcast their ennobling
influence, teaches love thy brother as thy
self.n The winter will be severe one on
the families of soldiers, and the movement
is intended mainly to supply the wants Of
this class Of community more completely
than it has b en- done hitherto. We were
ander the impression that the order OF the
| Sons of Malta had dissolved itself into it:
original elements, but from the above
which we clip from an exchange, it woulc

The QUESTION OF L1eHT.-The City
Councils meet this evening, when, we pre-
sumo, the committee on Lights will make
their report. As this is subject fraught
with interest, the result of the deliberations
of this body will be anxiously looked for
by all our citizens. IF proper action is
taken, our city will find itself in possession
of some twenty-five or thirty additional
lamp posts; for which not one cent of the
public funds will have to be expended. We
understand that the different Churches will
cede to the city all right in the posts, pro-
vided they shall be lighted the same as the
other city lamps.

Foa the past three or four wears our city

FoR the past three or four years our city
has been unusually fortunate in the way Of
escaping from conhagrstionso ~ There has
not been fire of any consequence within
our city limits for many day. We should
be thankful for this manifestation of Provi-
dence, and hope that many years more may
slspse ere we shall see our neighbors' prop.
srty swept away by this deyouring element.
As natural consequence our fire eompan-
les have become disorganized This should
not be the case. SIN time OF peace pre-
pare for war;" is an old maxim, and one
that will apply in this case. We can see
but little propriety in our city going to an
expense of ten or twelve thousand dollars
for steam FIRE engines when there are no
fires for the hand engines to play UPON
The present apparatus of our city is amply
sufficient for the demand. -l
SAD AccIDENr.-Yesterday q lad, some
ten or twelve years of age, named Edward
Addison, soH of the Master Machinist Of
the Road, met with sad accident at the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Machine shop,
from the effects of which he died in about
half an hour. The boy was employed to
run the stationary engine in the shop
He had been out to the furnace to throw
some coal on the fire, and was returning to
his engine when he slipped and fell into the
ay-wheel. Before the wheel could be
stopped it had made several revolutions,
and the boy was horribly maDgled, his head
being frightfully mashed, one of his arms
broken, and his body otherwise injured
he was taken ou., and died while being con-
eyed to his home.

listed. and have served for not less than
nine months, and can pass the examina-
tion required by the mastering reguls-
tions Of the United States. may be enlist.
ed under the order as veteran volunteers.
Upon being mustered into the service.
be will receive one months pay (S13) IN
advance. together with the first install
ment of the bounty, 1925. and 90 pre-
MUM, making total at muster of $40
At the first regular pay day. or two
months afterwards. an additional install
ment of $50 bounty will be paid.
At the first regular pay day after six
months service. an additional instslment
of $50 will be paid, and the same amount
at the expiration of each six months there
after. till the &40O is paid.
If the Government should not require
their services for the entire term of three
years. and they are bonorsbly discharged.
the whole bounty will be paid. the same
as il the whole term is served.
The legal heirs of volunteers who die
in service, will be entitled to receive the
whole bounty remaining unpaid ct the
time of the soldiers death.
Never. in this or any other country.
have such inducements been offered for
establishments. 1t would seem that the
Government has determined to devote the
means realized from persons who pay
their $500 exemption. to the carrying
out of this order.
This is no more than justice. and will
undoubtedly be taken advantage of BY
nearly every eligible person. 1t makes
the entire pay for three years $50. near
y equal to mechanics, and as much ss
laborers' wages.
