many of his political sins (; and that we are
as much pleased at his triumph as we ever
were at the triumph of a partizan candidate
of our own persuasion. He met the unna,u-
raj issues presented in the spirit of true
Virginian, and scattered the frightened and
bringing sycophants of power like cbaff be-
fore the wind. If faction shall refuse Mr.
Stuart admission to his seat, he can retire to

ty of future promotion, than those who may

Death Of Lord Palmerston.

Lord Palmerstop, Premier of England, died
on the 18th Of October, at thirty-6ve minutes
past nine o'clock, in the morning. For sew
eral days past, he had been suffering from a
severe cold, which, although presenting dan
gerous symptoms in the beginning, seemed
gradually yielding to attention. Or the night
Of the 18th, however, it was announced that
his malady had assumed dangerous proper
tons, in which condition of progressive dan
ger he continued until the hour of his death.
The Queen, who was at Balmoral, in Scot

dition by medical bulletins. Lord Palmer.
ston would have competed his 81st year on

From the tenor of the advices brought by
the steamship Damascus-on days later
news-it would seem that the vacant post Of
Premier had been offered to Earl Russell,
and that it was generally believed he would
accept it, although nothing official could be
known upon this subject, owing to the Queens
absence.
1t has been supposed in various quarters
that Mr.. Gladstone would be called to the
Premiership upon the death of the late in
cumbent. The question of succession, how
ever, awaits the Queens action.

NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.

President Johnson, on the 28th ult., issued tn
following proclamation, recommending national
thanksgiving ON the first Thursday in December {:
Whereas it has pleased Almighty God, during
the year which is now coming tc an end, to relieve
our beloved country from the fearful scourge Of
civil war; and to permit us to the blessings
of peace, unity, and harmony, with a great en-
largement of civil liberty
And whereas, our Heavenly Father has also,
during the year, gracously averted from the
calamities of war, pestilence and. famine, while
our granaries are full of the fruits Of an abun-
daRt season;
And whereas righteousness exalteth nation
while sin is reproach to any people
Now, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson: President
OF the United States, do hereby recommend to the
People thereof, that they do set apart and observe
the first Thursday of December next day of
national thanksgiving to the Creator of the uni
verse for these great deliverances and blessings.
And do further recommend that on that occa-
sion the whole people make confession of our ma
tonal sins against His infinite goodness and with
one heart and one mind implore the Divine gui-
dance in the ways of national virtue and holiness.
In testimony whereof, l have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the United States to
be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, the twenty
eighth day of October in the Year of our Lord one

Negro Suffrage.

The Richmond Enquirer says, "The am
mediate effects of negro suffrage would be
felt in the Southern States; but the white
laboring men of the North would not escape
its effects. The subject is one to interest
them and to influence their relation to parties,
and upon their votes, in their own States, will
depend whether Abolitionism shall further
dictate to the country this humiliation of the
white man. These Southern States are pow
erless to protect themselves against fanati-
cism their effort with arms failed-their
voices at the polls are unheeded-the coun-
try must be saved from this black crusade by
the conservatism of the North throwing itself
between the fanatics and their victim. They
have determined not only to rule these States
but to ruin them to make them the scenes
of social experiment without regard to conse-
quences. 'To the victors belong the spoils"
is their motto, and having plundered us of
rights and property, they seek now to de-
grade US in social life. Our destiny and that
of the whole country is involved and wheth.
er this is the Government of the white man
will depend upon the defeat of the Republi-
can abolition fanatics

National Express Company.

The Meeting of the National Express Com
pany, held in Richmond Monday and Tues
day, of last week, unanimously elected Gen
eral Joseph E. Johnston President of the
Company. The following gentlemen were
chosen directors General j. E. Johnston,
Francis Skiddy of New York, Colonel NJ. g.
Hartman, Benjamin Hart of New York, VIM.
L. Montague Of Baltimore, C. W. Purcell of
Richmond, VIM. j. Hawkins of North Caro-
lima, Gen. John Echols Of Virginia, and l..
w. Glazebrook of Richmond. A report to
the meeting stated that 1851 200 had been
subscribed to the capitol stock.
The Stockholders of the Richmond & Dan
vile R. R. Company desired to elect Gen'l
J os. E. Johnston President of the Company,
but were afraid to do so. Their servility and
truculency lost to them the invaluable servi-
ces of that distinguished and able man.
Verify, servility has received its reward.
In the meeting on Wednesday night, the
consolidation of the "NationaP with the
Reid Express Company was agreed upon.
"The National Express Company takes the
Offices, property and roads of the Reid Com
pany, and retains, as far as they are suitable,
the employees Of the Reid Company.
The Reid Company was organized in 1860,
and has been pushed forward with untiring
energy by the original founders, and at this
time has communication with all points in the
United States, with Havana and with Europe.

Treatment Of Freedmen,

We thiGk, with the Religious Herald, that
the Freedmen" are entitled to our forbear-
ance, sympathy and kindness; that we should
seek their physical welfare by furnishing
them suitable employment, giving them fair
wages, and encouraging thelr to form habits
of sobriety, industry, economy and fore
thought, and that we should endeavor to pro,
mote their mental improvement and spiritual
interests

The Constituionality as well as the policy
of the Congressional test oath is being dis
cussed very fully and freely at this time
We believe that an enlightened public opin-
ion will have so developed itself before Con-
gress meets, that those gentlemen from Vir-
gnia who proclaimed in advance their readi-
ness to take this oath, will find themselves
relieved Of this asement.-Richmond En-
quirer.
We are pleased to find that the papers are
now beginning to speak out in opposition to
the application of the test oath. The ",Spec-
tator" was the first paper in this State which
denounced the test oath and argued that it
was unconstitutional, and that the people had
the right to vote for candidates who could not
take it, aid that it was their duty to do so--
During the recent canvass, all the papers in
the State, except the Lynch6urg Republican
and otauntoa Spectator, were either as mum
as oysters, or urged the election of ''test oath
candidates

Origin of the Cholera.

It seems now to be established that the
Cholera has its origin in the thousands of
filthy Mohammedan pilgrims who annually
assemble at Mecca
1t is to France the world is indebted for
discovering the fertile source of this great
evil. Louis Napoleon set vigorously to work
in order to trace the locality of its origin, to
the end that it might be choked at its birth
place. And he succeeded. The official re-
port made to His Majesty says:
"The information gathered by the consul
lar agents and confirmed by the unanimous
reports of the physicians, manifestly proves
that the epidemic has been imported into
Egypt by pilgrims returning from Mecca and
Dieddah."

The following is the vote cast in this Dis
trict for candidates for Congress:
Stuart's majority over Lewis il 2,459.

Stuart's majority over Lewis il 2 ,459.
1t will be observed that Madison is the
banner county. The small vote in Craig
county is accounted for in the fact that most
of the citizens thought they belonged to the
Abingdon District, and voted, by mistake, for
Hoge. The Valley is the only portion of the
State which had the manliness to vote for
candidates for Congress who would not agree
to take the unconstitutional Congressional
test oath. Conrad in the Winchester Dis
trict, and Stuart in this, are the only Repre-
sentatives from this State who will refuse to
take that obnoxious oath, and two better and
ADLER Representatives could not have been Sc
lected. The independent, conservative, Con-
stitution-lovipg citizens of the Valley feel
ashamed of their fellow citizens in Eastern
Virginia who were wont, before the war, to
accuse them of too submissive spirit
When the time arrived which "tried the
souls of men," the election test showed who
possessed The most firmness and indepen-
dence, and the decision was in favor of the
people of the Valley, and the counties West
of it. Madison is glorious exception in the
East.

Pay of the Clergy.

There is no class ofmen, says the Richmond
Times, who more laboriously and Industrious
ly earn their bread than the clergy and yet
it is provesbial that none are worse paid. 1t
seems to be the impression among the laity
that preachers live upon air, OF else that
ElJah's ravens are still on the wing with
large loaves at cheap rates. In fact it has
always been mystery to US how clergymen
lived. With their known hospitality. their
modest charity, SO constantly called on, and
the innumerable family invariably attendant,
nothing but the widows cruise, or Gods
blessing in some other shape, can account for
their bsistence-certainly not their salary.
There are no more useful men among U.S.
At the start they gave up all prospect of
worldly wealth or preferment They meet
US in infancy and watch over US as the "ten.
der lambs of the flock" In our career in
life, when terrible affection overtakes US, they
sit by our aide and cheer US with kindly
words of consolation; and by them the last
Offices to our mortal remains are performed.
From Sunday to Sunday, in words of earnest
appeal, they lay before us the elevating tenets
of that religion, which the most thorough
man Of the world must confess is the purest
and soundest philosophy ever taught. And
still We seem to grudge them the pitiful pit
lance too often doled out by Southern con-
gregati ons.
