RIchm Ond, Virginia.

A young gentleman, who went to Rich
mond, Virginia, in June last, to engage in
business, writing to a relation in this city,
describes the state of public feeling in that
renowned place in the following language;
~ like the place and the people. l find
them kind, hospitable, frank and generous,
though opposed to Negro Suffrage. / believe
that tney will abide by and faithfully keep
their oaths as honorable men. Though they
may be a little tenacious Of their rights, yet
they will not forget their allegiance. In son G
cases they are little defiant, and hold their
heads pretty high. There is nothing about
them that would lead one to think that they
consider their previous course a disgraceful
one. The result they regret and deplore,
but a wise and prudent policy toward the
South, by the Administration, will make the
Union between the North and South more
firm and strong than ever"

Women Under Democratic Rule
and Women Under Abolition

The State journal on Saturday morning
devoted an editorial to the subject Of outrages
on women. On this subject il said;
"Not long ago il was our pride that in
America, women could travel from one end Of
the country to the other perfectly secure from
insult"
That was when the Democratic party had
sway in the country. Further on, the Journal
declares:
"Times have changed, we are sorry to say,
and if repeated outrages, under aggravated
circumstances, are any warning, we are in
duty bound to declare that it is nnsafe for
woman to journey even from one town to an
other without escort
The abolition party has ruled this country
for over four years, and the morals of the
country have become such that, according to
the testimony of the central organ of the
Abolition party Of Ohio, now ''it is unsafe for
woman TO journey even from one Town to
another without escort" God knows, the
country is sufficiently taxed to enable two
men to travel from one end Of the country to
the other perfectly free from insult as they
were able to do in the days when the Demo.
cratic party administered the Government and
the country was lightly taHsd.--Statesp'an

EIaHr DEATHS IN ONE FAMILY.-The
Baltimore Sun says: "Two weeks ago We
noticed the affliction in the family of Mr..
Dennis Boone, residing between Liberty
and Walkerville, Frederick county, Mary
land, up to which time four Of his children
had died. Since then four more have died.
There is now but one left. Thirteen brothers
and sisters--the Oldest not twenty years of
age-now lie side by side in the quiet
graveyard. Such fatality in one family
has seldom occurred. The disease was
diptheria."

Burning of the Smithsonian Institute.

A dispatch from Washington City, dated on
Tuesday, Jan. %, says:
This afternoon, about three o'clock, a fire
broke out in the Smithsonian Institute building
in the loft above the picture gallery between the
ceiling and roof, caused, it is believed, by de-
fectlve fue, The ceiling soon fell in, and in a
few moments the gallery was one sheet Of flames.
The fire, as il mounted the central tower and
burst in full volume from the main roof, was
magniticently grand, and a curious spectacle
was presented by the steadiness of revolutions
of the anometer or wind register surmounting
the tower while the fierce fame was raveuously
mounting to its destruction. The windows Of
the picture gallery soon burst out, disclosing
only the shell of the room. There were some
two hundred of SANKEY'S pictures here. He
had negotiated for their sale to the Michigan
University. Only five or six of them were saved
The loss is very serious, Incl uding the lecture
room philosophical instrument apartment, and
most of the valuable instruments, offices in the
towers and originals Of private records and ar
chives of the institute were destroyed The top
of the principal tower and several of the bat
Elements fell.
The confagration was nearly altogether con-
fined TO the main building, and above the first
story, the latter containing the museum which
was damaged more by water than fire The
wings and corridors were not much injured
The large library in the west wing was not
damaged The furniture of Prof Henry End
other property was injured by their hasty re-
moval. The full extent of the loss is not yet
ascera:ned A strong military guard was in
attendance. Grcat difficulty was experienced
at first in gotting water. At no time could all
the steam fire engines have full play upon the
flames and it was late in the evening before
they were got under full control

OIL ON THE BRAIN.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciai, writing from Parksburg, Va, gives the
following description of the all-oil pergading
mania in that locality:
If you want to be bored, come to the oil re-
gion. Here's the place where you bore ana
get bored. It's nothing but oil from morning
to night-oil on paper boiled oil--people talk,
write, sleep and snore oil. Ask man how
far it IS to Charleston:

''What time does the steamer leave for Wheel
ing?"
"Just soon as Slocum's oil is loaded"
"What was the fight about yeSteday!

Jenkins married an oil we'll yesterday or just
as good-married Miss ifkins, whose father
struck lie few days ago"

Preachers preach about oil being poured
upon the troubled waters, and say this is the
very spot where the oil for that occasoni comes
from.
/ slert on four barrels of oil last night; ev-
cry hotel full. The entire country looks greasy,
people have oily tongues, and your 0rl-factory
nerves are strongly Impressed with the terrible
stencil. Everybody has territory for sale, and
there are plenty of ''fuois and their money" who
anticipate the realization of the Baron Nun

An EXTRAORDINARY AFrAIR.-The Cincin-
natl Gazette gives publicity to the following
statement:
A circumstance was developed in this city
short time ago, which is, perhaps, without
parallel, at least curing the war, and which, in
all its bearings, az we'll as from the position of
the parties implicated, deserves place among
the records OF extraordinary crimes. The facts
may be briefly stated thus: Capt. Thomas S.
Bunker, of the SSth Ohio volunteer infantry,
las: September, through The Rev. J. w. Bush
ing. who, BY the way, received pay for the part
he took in the transaction, managed to have his
son, who had died in the service, credited on
The quota of Darke county, o., as substitute
for drafted man named Calvin Moore. Il
appears that the son, Charles Bunker, had en-
tered the service as substitute early in the war,
and by good conduct had been promoted TO the
rank of second lieutenant, which position he
had held until his death, which took place last
July. His father then, only two months later.
through the chaplain OF the regiment 10 which
ne belonged re-enlisied his dead son as a sub
sttute, receiving the pay and local bounty, part
of which lac gave TO his accomplice. 30 glar-
irg piece Of rascality, and so extraordinary a
transaction would not of course long remain
secret. The facts have something about them
so unnatural-if any thing thar occurs may be
called by that uame-thas so soon as known
both parties wers placed under military arrest
10 await the result of an examination by court
martial.
