ATTACKED BY FREEDMEN.

As Mr.. G. W. Dudley was retaining to his
home near Mint Spring, from Staunton, on the
night of the 4 tn inst, between the hours of ten
and eleven, when within short distance of his
house, he was attacked by two negroes, who cut
the reifsef his bride, thus rendering his horse
ungovernable. The rutiians soon brought him to
the ground, when one drew knife and made sew
eral lunges at him. wi thout effect. BY giving the
negro kick on the arm, the knife was knocked
out of his hand and lost. Mr.. Dudley not being
armed, now attempted to run. but was intercept
ed by one negro catching him around the neck,
whilst the other dived into his pocket and relieved
him of his pocket book, containing eight dollars
and some papers. AS soon as released, Mr.. Dud-
ley stopped for stone, but received kick in the
stomach which deprived him of breath and ena-
bled the freedmen to make their escape.

ADVERTISE.


We ask the business men Of Augusta to read
the following sensible remarks in regard to adver
Using, which appeared some time since in an Eng
lish paper :-ssNothing is more common than te
see large business establishments, which seem to
have immense advantage over all competitors BY
the wealth, experience and prestige they have &C.
CURED, drop gradually out of view, and be sue
ceeded by firms of smaller capital, more energy
and determination to have the fact that they sell
such and such commodities known from END
of the land to the other. In other words the new
establishments advertise the old die Of dignity.
They first understand that they must thrust
themselves on public attention or be disregarded
the second having once obtained public attention,
they suppose they have arrested it permanently,
while in fact nothing is characteristic of the
world than the ease with which it forgets."

Virginia.

The Metropolitan esResord" pays the follow
ing tribute to Virginia.:
From the bottom Of our heart We congratulate
the Virginians upon the prospect of speedy
and perm anent restoration of civil authority in
their State. It must be melancholy to the eyes
of manhood all over the world, to behold this
mob le race of men, in whose veins flows the
heroic blood of immortal ancestors, and whose
deeds of daring shed iuperishable lustre upon
American valor, loaded with the chains OF po-
litical bondage and crushed beneath the heel
Of conquering power. Like the exquisite pro-
portions of the Greek slave, we heave sigh
that SO much beauty can be enslaved, and she'd
q tear that a fetter can touch such queenly llnDS
without melting.
But Virginia's glory is not all thing that
was. Beneath her surface she conceais the
wealth of empires and upon her bosom she
bears no unworthy descendants of those great
sons. whose names are the brightest jewels IN
the chapter of freedom; she fondles there he
Lees and Johnstons and generation OF young
champions who will arise to place her where she
belongs among her States.
We trust tn at the anticipation of our GORE g.
pendent may be realized that she will call a
convent ion, evoke the sovereignty OF her citi-
zens, frame constitution adapted to the genius
of her people, and elect an executive and other
officers who will reflect her will.
Strip away her letters, cast into oblivion all
the badges of her bondage and she will hand te
posterity name as grand as her proud pa st
the cherishe d heritage OF all true Americans

STAUNTON PARLIAMENT

Parliament will meet on Friday next, ct P
NJ, in the basement Of the Lutheran Church, tt
organize by the election of a SIP eaker, Clerk
and Sergeant Only members will be
admitted until after the organization. Notice
will be given of public meetings.
No pent up Stanton will confne their powers,
but board less continents will be their concern.
Members will elect their respective con stituents
from the world at large-will present their Gre
dentials, and if admitted, be prepared with
proper bills to promote the welfare Of their con-
stItuencies.
Proceedings win be cond ucted in strict con
formity to parliamentary law. This may be Of
advantage to it's bers in after life, as in these
times anybody is liable TO be elected to Con
gress or the Legisl ature and ought to be pre-
pared for the worst. We hope to have repcr

WASHINGTON COLLEGE AND GEN. LEE

The ladies of Lexington, Va, make beautiful
appeal to the ladies Of Baltimore for aid in raising
the Lee endowment. OF Gen. Lee they say:
sHe has come among u.s." ga plain citizen, with
digni6ed serenity, engaging, along with the hum
blest in the community, in the effort to support
his own family by his own labor. His estate was,
early in the war, swept away from him, and
whilst leading armies, the ladies of his house
hold were frequently MISUNDERSTANDING to
that suffering class whom called refugees"
The strife over, friends who were left with ability
to do it have pressed upon him offers of pecuniary
did, alike munfcent and honorable. But the old
hero, whilst touched by the kindness, rejects it,
and becomes after his tolls and privations, and
heavy cares and painful losses, once more la
borer for his daily bread. There is no grander
sight than that of the rcre old man, at whose
name every Southern heart throbs with emotion,
and for whose welfare every tongue in coun-
try utters petition, from the tiny little lisper
who, along with the supplication that ''God would
bless papa and mamma adds the scarcely less
honored and beloved name of General Lee, up,
through every age and rank, to the Oldest and
highest-there is no grander sight, to US, than
that of the simple earnestness with which he adj
dresses himself to his present duties, and accepts,
without murmur, his present Strengthened ac-
commodatiOnS.
