MORE WITHDRAWALS.

We publish 3 card this morning from DR..
URIEL TERRILL, than whom there is no more
patriotic or highly esteemed citizen in the
Commonwealth, Withdrawing from the candi-
diture of the Richmond Congressional Dis
trict.
We are also informed that Rev. ISAAC N .
TINsLEY, who had announced himself for the
Buckingham District, has determined to re-
tire from the field.
Not doubling that both these gentlemen
have been actuated by regard for the inter-
ests of the State, we applaud their conduct
and commend their example to other candi
dates who know themselves to be ineligible
as the law stands. The time is short, and
those who would save themselves from disa-
greeable results must speak socn.

Multicaulis epidemic. That renowned tree
is probably more easily prOpagated than any
plant in the whole range Of Natural History
A man riding along the road, and passing BY
a plantation, had nothing TO do but to get
down and cut a twig. He then bore in Dis
hand the germ of unlimited wealth. DE
could stick it up anywhere, and 1t was sure
to grow. And yet the infatuation was SO
great that nobody seems to have taken the
extreme facility of propagation into conside-
ration. The most enormous prices were
paid for the trees, when few switches stuck
about, in a few years, would produce an in
definite number. The liking Cotton" delu-
sion was infinitely more fatal, but it was not
less unaccountable.
There is probably no article of commerce
which so many countries can supply. Egypt,
Algeria, India, Mexico, China, and by far the
larger portion of South America, can supply
it in quantities only proportional to the de
mand. In China alone, the great valley oil
the Yang-tse- Kiang, larger than the whole
cotton country OF the united States, anu
teeming with population ready to receive
their daily bread in place of all wages, can,
and doubtless will, under the stimulant Of
high prices, supply annually three or -four
times as much as the United States ever sent
to Europe.
There will always be, no doubt, much cot
ton cultivated in the United States. The
idea that it can be cultivated successfully
only by black labor, We hold to be delusion.
In Texas, before the introduction of negro
slavery, the colonists of Moses and stephen
Austin made great deal of cotton. And so,
we take it, it will be now. We shall hear
no more, it is true, of bales by the thousand,
produced on one plantation. The farms will
be small, but we shall be disappointed if
every farm does not furnish few bales.

THE EPISCOPAL GENERAL CONVENTION.
PHILADELPHIA, October 6th.--At the session Of
the Episcopal Convention to-day, two Deputies
from Tennessee were present but owing to the abb
sence of the Secretary of the Diocese they were

1t was moved and carried that the names of the

PHILADELPHIA, October 6.-In the Convention,

ReSoIred, That this Hour offers its profound
gratitude to God that We have among US our
brethren the clergy and lay delegates from the
Dioceses Of Texas and North Carolina, and We

A SUGGESTION.

A body of very worthy and estimable gen.
tlemen in Danville desire us to request the
sheriffs of the various counties composing
the Sixth Congressional District to open a
poll for the Hon. JOHN NJ. Boris for Con-
gress. We comply with their intimation
with pleasure.
At the same time, however, we are COM
PEELED to consider the course of these gen.
tlemen, under the circumstances, as calcu-
lated to work serious injustice to Mr.. BORIS.
In so large a district, and with scarcely any
mail facilities, it is simply impossible, at
this stage of the canvass, that one-tourth
part of the people of the district can hear,
before the day of election, that Mr.. Boris
will be voted for. The result will necessa-
rily be q small vote in his favor, which would
be unfair to him and calculated to produce
an erroneous impression abroad.
If these Danville gentlemen cannot con-
sistently vote for either of the four candi-
dates in their end of the district, we would
take occasion to inform them that there is a
citizen Of Lynchburg, now before them, in
every way qualified for the position of Con-
| gresham, and in every way entitled to their
support, and whom they should now, in our
Judgment, cast their votes for. We allude,
Of oonrse, to CHARLES l.. MosBY, Esq, SO
we'll and favorably known throughout the
! State. We understand that he feels himself
at liberty to take the oath, and being in all
! other respects eminently suited for the Con-
! gressionsl office, WE cannot see why cur
DanvilIe friends cannot settle down upon
him, without further ado about the matter.
At all events, We throw out the suggestion
for what it is worth.

Il CARD.

Having learned that efforts are being M de to
prejudice my election, as q candidate for the
Senate from the Lynehburg district, on the
ground that held, for a short time the position
Of Lieutenant in the second class militia it is
due to myself to say that it has been decided by
the proper authorities, at Richmond that such
Cficer~ are not included in the constitutional in.
hioition The militia in the United States is COM
posed usually of able-bodied men between
eighteen and forty-6ve years of age but the Sec
ond class militia, organized in Virginia during the
war, included those between sixteen and seven
teen, and fifty and ffty.fve years of age.
together with exempts from disability, &c
Such were the men that | had the honor
to command. They have been regarded by
the Governor, as answering the purpose of police
organization simply. There was another class of
militia, composed of persons between the ages of
II and Is, and As and 80, known as reserves, that
rendered service In the field, and we've under the
direction of the Confederate authority. They
were not second class militia in the sense of the
others mentioned, but Confederate troops and
officers in that organization labor undGr certain
disabilities. In conclusion, will only add that,
if there had been any doubt about my eligibility,
should not have accepted the position which l
now occupy, but which Rerer sought.

THE NEW YORK EXPRESS on THE TEST

member Of the last Congress and a member

generous towards the South. II is needless,
indeed, to assure our readers that the Err
press is one Of the sternest and most IN

whole Northern press. Originally anIaOld

IL wages daily and strenuous battle with the
Radical papers of the North. Its opinion on
the question, therefore, of the probabihty oil

members who cannot take the Test Oath, is
thoroughly impartial and given in the most
candid and friendly spirit TO the Southern
people.

The New York Tribune says, " the reason why
