RICH DISCOVERY OF Iron ORB.-We under
stand that an exceedingly rich vein Of iron ore
has been discovered on the lands of Mr.. Mar
BILE G. Goodwin, near Sandiges, in the north
western part Of Amherst county, and only
about seven miles from the Orange railroad at
Amherst Courthouse. The work OF getting
ont the ore has already been commenced, and
il is designed at once TO erect furnaces Tor the
purpose Of smelling.
Other discoveries Of the same kind have also
been made in the neighborhood but as yet
no movement has been made TO develop the
extent or richness Of the deposits. The work
Of opening the veins will, however, soon be
commenced under the direction of experienced
gentlemen, and II found to justify it, extensive
works will be erected for the purpose Of pre-
pairing the iron for market. -Lyachburg Ne0s.

WASHINGTON ITEMS,

GENERAL HOWARD AND THB PRESIDENT.
General Howard visited President Johnson
yesterday, and had a long interview in REFER
ence to his Freedmen's Bureau. He felt that
it was due TO the President, the interests OF
the freedmen, and himself, that he should be
made acquainted with the Presidents wishes
and purposes, since the President mad eX-
pressed himself so entirely opposed to the
whole scope and spirit of that institution. Mr..
Johnson informed the General that he had in
contemplation the issuing OF a proclamation
declaring the rebellion at an end and from his
Interpretation of the law, the Freedmen's
Bureau would continue its functions for a year
from the date of said proclamation, in spite OF
him. He minated no desire for General

'sWestern Associated Press sent committee COM
posed of Mr. White of The Chicago Tribune, and Mr..
Ualstead of The Cincinnati Commercial. We had
interviews. They made certain propositions. We
were willing 10 consider them and make the best ar
rancements possible for the Western press, but the
poliev Of this Committee seemed to be to serve the
leading papers Of Chicago Cincinnati and st. Louis,
papers with large circulation and resources, at the
expense Of the newspapers in smaller cites' Ike In
dianapols. Cleveland and Detroit AS it is, the
Western press, VIC believe, makes Indianapolis
pay as much for news as Chicago, although the news
papels in Chicago are more numerous ana more
wealthy The Associated Press of New-fork could
not adopt discriminating policy. IL could no1 con-
tribute to build up The Chicago Tribune against inc
indianapolis Journal for instance, or The Cine'nnan
Commercial against The Detroit Post. we certainly
found no pecunary motive to do this in the TACT that
The Chicago Tribune was permitted to have all OF our
news for about $40 week. Accordingly the prop
ositons of this Committee were not considered ana
when they stated that they would take our news put
at the same time use that of Mr. Craig nothing was
left but TO dismiss them from the Associated Press
and they were dismissed. The Western newspapers
have now to elect whether they will remain with US,
or make new arrangements whether they will sustain
the policy Of this Committee or one more liberal and
just.
There is no discussion, no controversy. If our
brothers in the West or indeed anywhere, can pur-
chase news more cheapy than we can, let them do it,
and may they prosper But the New-York Associated
Press is fact it stands, and will stand, whether
journals out of New York accept its news or not The
one thing certain is, that not being shop to sell
news-not being in the news business as matter oil
profit-we ask no one to come to US, and we shall
have no competition with Mr.. Craig. Those who go
to him must stay with him, aud may he give them
more comfort and less vexatiOn than he gave to u.s.
Those who remain with us will be served as well as
we are served ourselves.

THE FENIAN TOPIC.

Months ago we said that Mr.. Stephens's organiza.
ton might be very formidable for agitation, but was
poweress for revolution that would require an arma.
nent approaching that with which the South began
its terrible failure. We further remarked that the
Irish movement ought to mean reform, and not revo-
luton" Without some active cooperation OF En-
gishmen we did not believe that the national purpose
Of Irish revolution, impaired by repeated disasters,
could be realized. We appreciated the Fenian move
ment as not mere pretense or parade but deeply
and painfully earnest;" and this while Democratic
and other journals held it to scorn and ridcule.
We deplored the Canadian blunder, but saw more
tragedy than farce in il at the times and made it
clearly understood that the Canadians had given
rs precisely the same kind Of trouble rs they
were visited with by the Fenians. We condemned
the policy Of the Government for having countenanced
and excited the very breach Of neutrality which with
superservceable claptrap it afterward opposed when
word or two from Washington might have saved all
disturbance whatever. This ricketty policy deserved
all condemnation for had the invasion of the Fenians
been thousand or two stronger, it might have proved
n most disastrous and costly blunder TO all parties
concerned. This eomprehends our whole position on
the Fenan question: from the beginning of the year to
its close.
When, therefore, any Democratic journal asserts
that, Willingly or unwtingly, urged " a rebellion
foredoomed to failure" it uters q notorious aud pre-
mysterious untruth We have never concealed our
sympathy with any suffering nationality, and we
respect the Fenian movement as one natural and
earnest even if we cannot regard violent revolutions
as hopeful If by any means the highest practical
good of Ireland will be attained neither the civilized
world nor ourselves can grove. But bloodshed does
not seem TO be one of them, and revolution without
the aid and sympathy of the people of England looks
to us an mpossbility. If that sympathy is what the
Tory leaders fear, they have grpyer cause for
alarm than the world is generally aware. Tho
Tory's distrust Of his countryman is narrow,
but natural; but the English love Of England is, If
possible as selfish. Attempted revolution in Ireland
with lbs sacrifices Of Victims may a stepping
stone to the Englishmans franchise, but it will call
few or no Englishmen to the violent rescue Of
Ireland.
The manly condemnation by The London Daily
Neos of the recent savage outburst Of its cotempora-
res merits gratitude and applause. The Ne'' de-
mands that the Irish rebellion, if such 1t be in fact
shall be suppressed in soldierly nanneri aud we

PRESIDENT JOHNSON on FOREIGN IN
TERYENTION.

The President Of the United States in his solemn
proclamation for the observance Of yesterday as a
day Of thanksgiving to Almighty God, our Heavenly
Father" for the merces Of the year. cited among
chief causes for gratitude and praise that foreign in
tervention has ceased 10 excite alarm and apprehen
sion"
For nearly four years We had grave reason for ap-
prehension and alarm from the threatened meddling
of European powers in our domestic quarrels. For
four years we had vehemently protested against such
intervention as contrary TO the law of nations, as
violation Of our rights as high crime and INSIDE
meanor against international morality, tending to
destroy the freedom of independent nations, TO dis
turb the harmony and confidence Of friendly peoples
and TO demOralize and brutalize the world.
The hour has come when our pledges are to be re-
deemed our vows to be paid and in view Of the apt
ness of men in the day Of prosperity to forget their
promises in days of troubeas pithily illustrated by
the ancient proyerb, "The Zion past and God fos-
gotten" we thank the President for reminding the
American people, as he has so Significantly DONE Of
what honor and duty demand of them on this point,
when he recalls TO them the debt Of gratitude that
they owe to Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, for
the reason that by his good providence, Foreign
Intervention has ceased to excite alarm and appre-
henson."
It was time that this view Of The matter should DO
thus brought home to us, judging from the fppant
and immoral tone that marks the rumors which come
day by day from Paris, Washington, New Orleans
and the Rio Grande. to the effect that our Govern
ment has resolved to intermeddle in the affairs of
Mexico between the two claimants to the Presidency
Juarez and Ortega-just as France and England
proposed to interfere between Abraham Lincoln and
Jefferson Davis We are told that it is in pursuance
of this resolve that Gen. Sheridan has imprisoned
Senior Ortega as he was travelling through tho United
States to Mexico to prevent his embarrassing his
rival, Senior Juare1. 1t would have been q somewhat
analogous procedure had the British Government in
Canada seized President Lincoln had he crossed the
river 10 view the Falls Of Niagara and then shut him
up in order to give additional strength and stability to
the Rebel Government at Richmond, and enable Mr..
Davis to found an Empire on Louis Napoleons

No official report of the crossing of the Rio Grande
by Gen. Sedgwick and the occupation of Matamoros
has yet been received in Washington, but we are as
sured that should the report prove true the act vii
be promptly disapproved and Gen. Sedgwck removed
from his post Macmillan is reported TO be still at
Orizaba being unable to obtain the consent of the
French to his leaving the country. The preparations
Of the French for their departure are actively pro-
crossing. The Liberals, in the meanwhile, are press
ing forward on all sides, and according to dispatch
from New Orleans, have just captured the important
town of Jalapa, with the entire Imperial garrison.
