ST.. JoHN's BURYING-GROUND.-The old
est cemetery in Richmond is st. Johns, on
Church Hill, which has been in use l4S
years. On every side repose the remains
of many whose memories are dear to our
citizens. The oldest legible inscription to
be found in the yard is on the tomb of Ro-
bert Rose, rector of Albemarle parish, "a
strenuous asserter and defender Of liber-
ty," who died June, 1851, aged forty
seven. Here are buried many distin-
guished persons, among whom are DR.. An
drew Lieper, who was the preceptor of
President Harrison. He died in 1913.
Rev. William Graham, founder Of Wash
ington Academy, Rockbridge county
died in 1899; Colonel Edward Darlington
and Colonel Robert Gamble, both soldiers
of the American revolution; Drs. James
Currie, William Wardlow, James Nc
Clurg, and John Foushee, all physicians OF
eminent learning and distinction. Rev.
John Exall, much beloved minister of the
Gospel, and Parson John Buchanan are
also buried here. The cemetery is under
the especial care of the City Council, who
annually appoint committee to keep 1t in
repair, yet, We regret to say that it pre-
sents many signs of neglect and decay.

under the name Of Mary Z. Dyer, was
reported lost in the New York papers. So
there Is some hope yet Of the safety Of the

LOCAL MATTERS.

OuR CHURCHES To-MORR0w.-The usual
services will be held in our churches to.

below.
The United Presbyterian church, which
have been worshipping with the Second

BETHEL SUNDAY SCHOoL.-This school
meets every Sunday afternoon at 8 O'Clock
In the Bethel church, on Twentieth be-
tween Main and Cary streets. The ave-
rage attendance Of scholars is about 100,
and the only obstacle in the way Of the
complete prosperity of the school is lack
of teachers. A large number of children
are anxious to avail themselves Of its ad-
vantages, and we're there instructors
enough to meet the emergency, the attend
ance of 200 could easily be secured. No
doubt there are many members of churches
who could devote an hour or two to this
school every Sunday afternoon without
inconvenience to themselves or interfering
with their other religious duties and we
earnestly hope that the bare announce
ment of the want will cause plentiful
Offering Of services. The field is fruit
full one, for there are large numbers Of
children in the lower part Of the city now
growing up in ignorance Of sacred truths,
wh0, by this agency, might be made useful
members of society. The school will be
re6rganized on Sunday (to-morrow) after
noon, and the opportunity should be i'm
proved to lend it a helping hand. 1t has
been in operation for six years, and was
suspended only one year during the war.
The Rev. Francis j. Boggs has labored
zealously and faithfully in behalf Of the
school for the past year, aud his efforts,
almost ngle-handed, have been crowned
with success. But he needs assistance, and
it is hoped that not much time will elapsc
ere it is forthcoming.

construction Committee will report this
week in favor of admitting the members
elect from Tennessee. The President has
urged their admission with great warmth,
aud if they Bhould-get in at an early day,
the circumstance will be significant of
"softening" somewhere.
The "Peace Proclamation" if we are to
put faith in the signs of the times, may be
looked for positively as soon as Texas Or
ganizes her State government.
No cabinet designations have yet taken
place. Those of the members who differ
from the policy of the Administration, it is
now Stated, will wait to be removed, instead
of @ndering their designations. ..~
= Since the above article was put in type,
the telegraph brings the information that
the Senate has by a vote of 20 against lS,
passed the Bill to prohibit the admission Of
the Southern members. This vote exhib.
its the same division in the Senate exciting
upon the veto measure.

Erin. The organization has dropped its
quarrels, and really seems to have some
mischievous intentions. A Spring cam.
paigu into Canada; and daring assault upon
the Irish coast is given out as the pro.
gramme. The former once conquered 1t
will be the temporary seat Of government
of the new republic that is to be; and from
thence the Fenian privateers and transport
fleets will bear for the English Channel.

"A correspondent of the Colum-
bia Phen'u, writing from Washington, un-
der date of 17th of February, gives some
information with reference to the collection
of. National taxes in this State. We make
the following extract:
"The internal revenue, for the upper part
of the State of South Carolina, is to be as.
sessed and collected as soon as the organi.
zation of the Offices can be completed. No
taxes will be assessed or collected on any
subjects of taxation prior to 3Oth May,
1865, which is the date of the establish
nent of the collection districts in South
Carolina, except the taxes on incomes,
which will be collected for the incomes Of
1854, and since. All manufactures, dis.
titled liquors, and other subjects of taxa.
tion, produced or aceruing since 80 May,
will be assessed and taxed. 1t is thought
in the departments and elsewhere here,
that the oath of Office will be so modified,
at least in regard to postmasters and reve'
nue. officers, that there will be no difficulty
in obtaining Southern men who can take it.
A decision has already been made, allow
ing payment for stationery, Office rent, pos
tage, &c., to the officers of the internal
revenue in the South, who, as yet, cannot
draw their salary by reason of the oath"

entirely, until events so shape themselves
as to render our good opinions of weight in
the balance:
There,is too great a tendency with the
press, to claim the President as the special
champion of the South. He diselaims any
such motives. We should also disclaim
them. The President is no party man; but
as the advocate Of right and justice is wor-
thy of support. He is not Of our CLAN
his principles and ours have been widely
divergent, and it is only because he has ex-
hibited an amount of good sense, prudence,
and Justice in the course of his administra:

where, that we have been led to embrace
him as our special Nemesis. -

STRUGGLING CoNaREssMEN The mail is
pouring in tinely admonitiOns from the peo'
nle to those members who had resolved to
thvart the executive policy. Representa-
tives who, three days ago, we're eager for
war, are advised by their constituents that
the country desires peace-peace between
sections-peace between those who claim
to be Unionists in Congress and the Presi'
dent, whose devotion to the county needs
no additioualist test. These healthy pro.
tests from the people direct, will do world
of good. They will indicate to those who
have courted division between Congress and

terror for the puplic welfare the American
people can draw a ready and just distlnc'

x.Rebel officer had quarrel last Wednes.
day, and they agreed to settle it with "pls-
tolls and Coffee in the vicinity Of Jefferson
vile, Ind. According to the Indianapolis
Herald the arrangements are singularly
bloody, it being provided that the combat
ants, each armed with navy Colt and six
pound bowie knife, are to be placed ten pa
ces apart, and fire the first round at the
word, continuing the exercise "at will,
with the privilege Of advancing and finish
ing the struggle by hand to hand encoun'
ter with the cleavers. The seconds are
Gen. Basil Duke and Col. Spears, OF the
late rebel army, for Desha, and Capt Giv-
vens and Colonel Cunningham, OF the UNI:
on army, for Kimbrough. The parties had
started for the place agreed upon, but the
result was not yet known.
At times trade takes sudden and Gu
rious turns. It may surprise some of ohl
readers to learn that Charleston, in meas
ure, has changed places with New York in
the matter of furnishing certain articles Oh
supply. 1t has not long been the custom
for New York merchants to seek Charles
ton as market for purchasing dry goods,
hardware and groceries. Yet, in the pas
week, goods of that description have aotu
ally been sold in this market to be shipped
to New York, for the simple and no Other
reason than that the prices were lower here
than there. Grocery dealers tell US they
can go to houses in this city today aud buy
certain articles at price considerably lower
than is demanded in New York. Ofcourse
this state of affairs cannot exist for any
lengthy period. 1t is an evidence tina
something is wrong in the business market
The difficulty is lack Of ready money.
