Mr.. EDFroR You will be kept busy to no
tice all the dark, sneaking, underhanded petit.
tons, which are being circulated among a GER
tain class of our citizens, for sinister and unWor-
thv purposes. To-day, (the 26) my attention
has been called to one, said to have been pre-
! pared. by that creature Dews, who has brought
1 disgrace upon the worthy freedmen of our coun-
! ty by being made member of their Court
j Have not seen the petition but learn that 1t has
| been numerously signed by the so-called Union
+ meri of Pendleton county, known as ''Swamps,.
and is aO,0 circulating III tins county Hefe, IL
is presumed, it will be cheerfully signed, by that
class of our people, who, under the late mon
strous and outrageous order of that n,artinet, at
Richmond, one Gen. Terry assembled in our
| Court House few weeks since, to say under
OATH whether men of their kidney, could get
! Justice done them before our civil tribunals
! | am one, Mr. Editor who thinks they cannot
get j,tsttce, but in view entirely different from
a certain cx-Capt. of Militia, residing about
four miles from your town, who SAID he dld
not believe that any one who thought and felt
as he did, during the war, could get a show OF
justice" at the hands of our Courts. But to
the petition. 1t has been gotten up for, and
at the instance of, certain individual living in
White Oak Lick, on the road GA North River
Gap, to Pendleton county. This individual, for
a short time, carried water successfully on both
shoulders, IN the early part OF the war. For
some months Gen. Ed Johnston employed him
as guide and scout to his forces, whilst on AL
eghany. Even at that time he was aiding the
enemy. Afterwards, his house became the rem
devouz of deserters from our ranks, as well as
those who ran off before they were placed in the
army, and he piloted them thro successfully to
New Greek and other points. and brought back
the mail for their friends from the now numer-
Gus class Of deserters aeihin the Yankee lines.
Coming under the suspicion of the authorities,
his premises were on one occasion invested by
some of Capt. Avis guard, and this same ind
rid,al killed one of them from his own donlicil
All familiar with his premises know that ever
since he has lived there, near a quarter of
century or more, it would puzzle dozen way
faring sheep to survive, from year end to year
end. This petition represents to the Congress
Of the United States that this most devoted and
selfsacrifcing Union man, had his raz.able
property destroyed by the rebels, and asks thou
sands Of dollars of indemnity For the several
thousands of dese,ters he aided, in running thro'
to Yankeedom, he asks heavy remuneration
For the Gods service he rendered in numbering
one of his own countymen perhaps, he asks at
the hands of Stevens, Sumner &C., big pay
This is a faint outline of what this Infamous pa
per, prepared by Ders's hands and for most
unworthy individual is being circulated for

Judge Lucas P, Thomson.

AT meeting of the Staunton Bar, on the
23d ult-, Thomas j. Niche, Esq, was appoint
ed Chairman, and Nicholas K Trout, Secre-
taYy.
On motion of Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, COM
mittee consisting of the chairman of the meet
ing, and Messrs. Stuart, Echols, Trout Hender-
son, Christian and Baldwin were appointed to
prepare resolutions.
Subsequently Mr.. Niche from the commit
tee reported the following which was adopted
! lst. Resolred, That with feelings of the
deepest sorrow the members of the Staunton
Bar have heard of the affecting dispensation of
| Providence: which has removed from among
them in the midst of his usefulness their friend
and fellow citizen, Judge Lucas p Thompson
for many years the able and incorruptible Judge
of the circuit and recently elected to the Lelch
of the Supreme Court of this State
I'd. That in the late Lucas p Thompson,
we recognize lively and illustrous example of
all that is noble and attractive among men,
| With him fearless love of justice was beauti-
fully tempered with charity and heart feeling
y alive to the finest sensibilities while over all
his manly virtues, the graces of pure christian
faith shed their bepignant light and marked
| him as one more fit for heaven than for the
strifes and turmoils of earthly habitation He
must be ever remembered as Just, upright
conscientious and learned Judge, and in all the
relations of private life as a courteous gentle
man, a true, faithful and warm-hearted friend,
and charming social companion.
Sd. That in his death the State has to de-
plore the loss Of one of its purest, ablest and
most faithful officers one of its brig ht-
est and most cherished ornaments, his family
circle Of the kindest and most affectionate hus-
band, father and brother.
4th. That we tender cur warmest sympathies
and coincidence to the bereayed widow and fam
lily of our friend with the assurance that we
mingle our tears Of sorrow with them In this
great affection.
9TH. That in token of our esteem and affec-
Tomato regard for the deceased we attend his
remains to the grave, and wear for thirty days
the usual badges of mourning.
9th That the proceedings of this meeting
be presented to the family of the deceased and
! published in the newspapers of Staunton and
Richmond, and that a copy be communicated to
the County Court of Augusta, which meets to-
day, and also to the Circuit Court at its next
session.

THE PROPOSED DISBURSEMENT OF VA

THE PROPOSED DIsMEMBERMENT OF Va
A bill has been introduced into Congress for the
repeal of the. act to retrocede the county OF
Alexandria to the State of Virginia. Why
not abolish the whole State at once? They
have as much right in law or equity to do one
as the other The same pretexts which are set
forth in the preamble of the bill as justification
of the measure, would apply with equal or great
er force to the annexation Of the whole State to
the District of Columbia. These reasons are
that the rebellion has demonstrated the wisdom
of preserving the ten miles square under the
exclusive control of Congress, both for civil and
military purposes, and for the defence OF the
capital ," IF this be true, would it not still
more conduce to the security of the capital, tol
Congress to exercise. exclusive control over the
whole State
The true cause of this outrageous attempt to
appropriate the property of Virginia, is to be
found in the provision of the bill which declares,
that all civil offices in the city of Alexandra are
declared vacant, the vacancies to be filed by
new appointment or elections to be held under
the laws governing elections in the District OF
Columbia. This tells the whole story, and sat
isfactorily accounts for ''the milk-in the cocoa

Negro on the Rampage in Alexandria

A scene that beggars' description occurred at
the Mayors Office yesterday afternoon, which,
at one time, threatened to prove second Nor
folk affair; and nothing but the cool decision
and tact of our worthy Mayor restrained the
outraged feelings of his officers and the citizens
present. Three negroes were arrested for some
cause; one, stout, athletic fellow, resisted with
was taken to the Mayor office, and then COM
menced the most unheard of conduct; the re-
sisting negro, formerly slave Of Mr.. VIM. N.
Brown, belching forth torrent Of abuse upon
all ''d-n Rebel s. of BIS" declaring
his right to enter every and any place he chose
drink in any ''d-n white s. of a BIS

that the Civil Rights Bill gave him the largest
liberty, and ''he be d-n if he would not use
it, he cxulted over the fact that it had been
passed over the President head -''d--n him. .
The Mayor in vain endeayored to quiet him,
and sent for Major Hambrick, who came as soon
as he received the message. When the Major
entered there was slight calm, but enough was
perpetrated afterwards to show very plainly the
violence Of the negros conduct The Mayor
very promptly committed the most violent one
to jail, but previous to sending him FORTH he
informed Major Hambrck that the fellow life
was in his own hands that if he manifested the
least violence he and his officers would enforce
the law even to his death When the officers
left with the prisoner the Mayor followed down
on Royal street. opposite the engine house, and,
alone, kept back the crowd which followed
The more orderly he appealed to; others he
positively refused to permit to pass
A narrow escape was made from a scene of
riot and bloodshed. Had the Mayor Welded
for an instant, and suffered his outraged feelings
to have scope, there is no knowing what would
have been the result. Some Of our citizens were
insulted in the most gross and violent manner.
but the Mayor appealed to them, to be quiet,
and submit, for the sake of peace Our thoughts
naturally reverted to December 25th, 1865,
when like firmness and decision would have
spared our citizens the bitter fruits of that I'M
fortunate day-AAr. Gazette Of 1p,H 25.

VWE UNION MOWER.

This is beyond all question the most desirable
Mower now in use, not one having failed last sea-
son among the great quantity sold. Price SID
for the foot machine, and $3.50 for the d foot
machine.
There has been much competition between the
different inventors and manufacturers in striving
to produce the most perfect machine. 1t Is be-
lieved that each have gained some good points,
and that the God of Genius has somewhat equally
divided his favors. 1t appears to be the labor of
each successful manufacturer to convince the
farmers that his arrangement, his gearing, guard
and knives or whatever his alleged Improvement
may consist of, makes his machine superior to all
others. 1t requires no argument to convince the
farmer that machine combining, the Union
Mower does all of the important and valuable
features of the various machines, is the machine
for practical use.
The following testimonials to the efficiency
of this Mower are from gentlemen well known in
Maryland and Virginia.
