The Feeling in Richmond.

We extract the following from paper
called the Southern Churchman, publish
ed in Richmond, and which is the organ
of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
the Confederate State. The date of pub
lication is April 22d. and we call particu-
lar attention to the sentence printed in
itaiic:
The present time in the history of the
war, we do not think can well be over
estimated. 1t seems by common consent
both among US and our enemies to be re-
garded as crisis. Ofcourse all may be mis-
taken; but it does seem to appear as if
we had reached that point of the struggle,
when a great victory, one side or the 9TH
er. will do much toward ending the war.

The Tomb of David Hume.

David Hume, who produced IN his time
so much skepticism as to the eyidinces OF
Christianity, does not seem to have con-
vinced his own relatives. A correspon-
dent of The Presbyterian says: "By the
way, speaking of Edinburgh, while there
l acted as guide to a brother minister
from America, on a visit to the tomb of
the infidel Hume. 1t is circular stone
building; over its iron-gated door there IS
inscribed his name, with the dates of his
birth and death. No doubt, like Voltaire,
he fiattered him elf that he had given
the death-blow to Christianity. But, be-
hold, there on the wall of his tomb, those
who are flesh of his flesh and bone Of his
bone. bear testimony to the fallacy of his
expectation. On its outside, and imme-
diately above the name Of Hume himself,
there is tablet containing an inscription,
by David Hume to his wife, Jane Alder,
dated 1917, closing with these words, Be
hold leone quickly. Thanks be to God,
who giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ Also, in the interior,
there is another tablet, sacred to the
memory of David Hume, one of the Bar
ons of Exchequer, and his two sons, da-
ted In l848; the whole surnounted by
these encouraging words, Il am the Res

were brought away. Several thousand
fresh cavalry horses were forwarded to
the Army Of the Potomac, and many
thousands of reinforcements, with arms
and ample supplies, were sent to the 9TH

The eOmcers at GaIIipoIis.

1t affords US pleasure to announce that
the rew Commandant ofthis post, Colon
ell John Ferguson, enters upon the dis
charge of his official duties in an accept
able manner. These duties have greatly
increased since the establishment of our
town as a point of rendezvous for troops,
yet but few persons think of their odorous
character Our citizens see soldiers-sol-
diers-soldiers; admire their quietness;
praise their gentlemanly department;
hear of their being organized into regi-
ments by consolidation; with delight dai-
ly flock TO witness dress parades, while
but few think that this host of men are
under Post supervision. The Command
ant is unassuming. gentlemanly in de-
pertinent, and soldierly in bearing. Hav-
ing seen service, and having correct idea
of Office, he dignifes the position, dispos-
ing of the varied and perplexing business
of the post acceptably, without ostenta-
ton or display.
We congratulate him in his selection OF
a Post Adiutant in the person of Geo. w.
Messer He is valuable auxiliary, quail
fled to perform whatever he undertakes,
affable and soldierly of whom it may be
said, that he has not mistaken his calling
His shoulder is a perch. and if we had it
at our disposal an Eagle should roost up
on it.-GalEpoLis Dispatch.

General Grants Daughter.

One of the most int eresting incidents
of the exhibition at the st. Louis Sanitary
Fair on Friday afternoon, was the taking
of photograph likeness of a daughter OF
Lieutenant General Grant, who, since the
beginning of the fair, has beenpersonating
the character of theold woman in the shoe
in the children's department. We IN
derstand that she is the Generals only
daughter, and is eight years of age: She
was dressed as an old woman. with cap
and spectacles, and seated in mammoth
shoe. and surrounded by. innumerable
dolls. and photographed BY Nichols s
Brothers. As soon as her likeness had
been taken Major Nc Kay, the secretary
of the far. proposed ''three rouslng,

which were given. The GeneIaIs daugh-
ter is very prepossessing in appearance
with fair complexion and plump features

With feet that make no noise upon the foora-

Along the passages they come and go.
Impalpsble impressions on the air.

He hut peTceives what IL: While unto me
All that hss been is visible and clear.
We have no title-deeds TO house or lands;
Owners and occupants of earlier dates
From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hands
And hold in mortmain still their old estate.
Tie spirit world around this world of senss
Floats like an atmosphere, and everyvhere
Waits thro' these earthly mists and vapors dense
vital breath Of more ethereal air.
Our little lives are kept in equipoise
By opposite attractions and desires;
The struggle of the instinct that enjoys,
And the more noble instinct that aspires-
Tho p.rturbations. the perpetual jar
Of earthly wants and aspirations high,
Gene from the inf Ience Of that unseen star, +
That undiscovered planet in our sky. L.
And as the moon from some dark gate of cloud
Throws oer the sea floating bridge Of light
Across whose trembling planks our fancies crowd
Into the realm Of mystery and night.
So from the world Of spirits there descends
i bridge of light, connecting it with this.
O'er whose unsteady floor, that sways and bonds
Wander our thought above the dark abyss.

The following is believed to bea strictly
account of the dissraeeiul assault
last night on Senator Chandler, IN the
Public Dining Hall of the National Hotel:
Mr.. Chandler, With DR.. Clark. of Detroit,
and a lady with two children, were ta-
king dinner at side.t table, when in the
course of conversation on the political
questions. he denounced, in very strong
terms copperheads, generally. snd espec-
ially those of the Western States. Mr..
Vorhees. of Indiana, was sitting at anoth-
or table behind m, (Chandlerl with Mr.
flanagan, also of Indiana, when Mr..
Voorhees, arose from his seat and ap-
preached Chandler in an excited manner,
demanding whether ne referred TO him.
70 which he replied. who are you, sir,

sino from his chair. Mr. Vorhees replied.
IL am Vorhees, of Indiana" Suiting the
action to the word he struck Mr.. Chan

men closed, and the Senator was rapidly
getting the betterof Voorhees,, when nan
1aoan came TO the latter's assistance Win
. heavy milk pitcher, which he broke on
Mr. Chandler,s head. the contents OF the
-,;tcber smashed over the whole company.
Chandler was stunned by the blow, and
had not fully recovered himself when
Hannagan dealt him second blow with
a chair. At this juncture theparties pre-
sent interfered and the bel1gerents
we're separated. Chandler's head was
slightly cut by the pitcher, and his shoul,
ders and arms were considerably bruised
by the chair. Though not abe to close
his hand, be has been out to-day attend

THE GOLD MARKET.

Gold opened this morning at 10, which is
very near the highest point It has ever reached
in the New York market. 1t has been stated
that ono reason for the appreciation in gold is
the large importations now making by the New
York merchants Of foreign goods on which
large increase of duty is anticipated. 1t is to
be remarked, however, that the rise in ex-
change does not correspond with the rise in
coin.
Another reason given Is that speculators who
had sold short are buying large amounts to
meet their obligations, and rapacity OF capi-
tallsts who have bought up to hold control
over the market. Belmont and Company are
buying all they can get, for this purpose, and,
also, we hear, to supply the French with coin
to pay their troops in Mexico. Meanwhile
many people still wonder that the passage oi
the "Gold Bill" did not have the effect to
lower the prizes. This was explained in our
paper last Monday.
The bill as 1t finally passed Congress con-
tains an amendment by which the Secretary OF
the Treasury is prohibited from making sales
until provision Is made for the interest on the
public debt and the establishment of sinking
| fund, as required by the act OF February 25,
1862. This amendment was adopted on the
day of the passage of the joint resolution, and
places the authority of the Secretary over coin
where 1t was under the act of 1869. By that
act the surplus of coin, after paying up Of in
terest and the establishment of a sinking fund,
was to be put irto the general treasury. The
only substantial change Is in the authority
given to the Secretary to anticipate the pay
ment c,f interest coupons, agreeably to the
anne adment offered by Mr.. Boutwell,.
