VIRGINIA Springs.

We have TO add yet another to the list
Of very inviting watering places in the
mountains of Virginia opened to the public
the ensuing season. STRIBLING SPRINGS,
in Augusta county, are within pleasant
stage drive Of Staunton, near the Staunton
and Parkersburg turnpike. They are re-
markable for the variety as well as excel
lcnce of the waters which there emerge
from the earth. They include sulphur,
alum, and chalybeate, all highly impreg-
nated-especially the sulphur. There is
besides these a superb fountain of pure
irecStone water.
Styibling Springs have gained a rcputa-
ton for healing the sick and renovating
and reinvigorating the jaded and enfeebled
constitution that entities them to the
public favor and support. Colonel CHEs
LET KINNEY has been known through many
successful and delightful seasons ut his
Springs as one of the most obliging and
liberal of landlords. See advertisement.

A STRANGE STORY FROM OHIO.-A most
curious instance of conflicting testimony
in the case of murder recently occurred
in Ohio. On March oath one Ira B. Wheeler,
of North Pepin, in that State, suddenly dis
appeared, and it was generally supposed
that he had been accidently drowned in the
waters of the Chippewa. A few days ago,
however, his body was found near the place
where the accident was supposed 10 nave
occurred, the head marked by deep gash
across the scalp, and severe wound over
the left eye. Suspicion at once rested on
James Carter, who had originally made the
statement that Wheeler broke through the
ice, and so died. The whole village was
excited. Carter was subjected to sharp
inauisition, when most unexpectedly the
wife OF Wheeler and the accused man both
confessed to the crime, each charging the
other with dealing the fatal blow. The
Durand (Ohio) Times says:
"The wife's story is, that Wheeler and
Carter, getting into an alteration about
going to neighbours to play game OF
whist. Carter dared Wheeler out OF doors
to fight; whereupon the latter followed
Carter ont, when Carter struck him over
the head with gun-barrel, which brought
him to the ground, Immediately causing
his DEATH"
Carter, on the other hand, asserts that
Wheeler was driving tacks into his boots,
when his wife, happening to pass by, upset
the paper of tacks upon the floor. A
scuftie ensued, at first in play, afterwards
in anger. Mrs. Wheeler finally snatched
up a Ratchet and struck her husband a
blow on the head, which felled him to the
floor. Carter had been bystander in the
struggle, and now came forward, told the
wife not to be alarmed, and proceeded to
carry the corpse to the river, and thrust II
through the ice. He then invented an
explanation of his disappearance.

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-SENATE.--The
Postmaster General has sent communi-
cation to the Senate against the proposed
plan of uniting the telegraph lines with the
postal system. He says: "As the result
of my investigations, do not think it
would be wise for the Government to in
augurate the proposed system, not only
because of its doubtful financial success,
but of its questionable feasibility under
our political system"
The fourth and fifth sections of the re-
construction resolution were passed by a
two-thirds vote. The Radicals voted down
several amendments proposed by Con-
seryatiyes. Mr.. Hardwick reviewed the
proceedings as extraordinary, unwise, and
unjust and declared that the people would
never endorse them. Born in caucus,
the proposition was intended to subserve
the political necessities of a party, and
were not designed to promote the inte-
rests of the country. The Senate adj
iourned without final action on the reso-
luton.
HousE.-The House considered the reso-
ution of Mr.. williams, calling on the Pre-
sident to inform the House whether any
Government employees in the south have
in any way countenanced public honors to
living or dead Confederates. and whether
the privilege of honoriug the graves OF
Union soldiers has been in any instance
denied by the authorities, with the acqni-
escsnce Of officers Of the Governments.

New YORK, June 3.-The colonel Of the
Canadian volunteers was killed ut the first
fire. Lieutenant p. s. Routh was MORALLY
wounded. When dying, the Lieutenant
asked General O'Neil TO return his sword,
and permission was granted. After the
retreat, some volunteers took refuge In a
steam-tug in the river, but afterwards
went ashore and attempted to capture q
squad of Fcnians. A large body suddenly
appeared and attacked the volunteers, who
fled precipitately, and scattered through
the woods. Seventy of them were cap
tured. Many ran along the beach, which
was covered with guns and knapsacks.
TORONTO, June So A. MA dispatch
from Waterloo says that Colonel Dennis,
commanding eighty men, encountered
about the same number of Fenians, who
charged them with fixed bayonets, when
the volunteers broke and ran, hasing the
field in possession of the Fenians. Colonel
Dennis is reported wounded.
BUFFALO, June 3.-The Fenians evacu-
ated Fort Erie last night. Most of them
attempted to reach this shore. A small
number succeeded. Several hundred were
gobbled up by the United States boats
guarding the river, and arc now prisoners
in large fatboat under the guns of the
United States gunboat Michigan at Black
Rock. The English forces under Colonel
Peacock took possession of Fort Erie with
ont skirmish. The ultimate disposition
of the prisoners is a matter of conjecture.
The British Minister has been telegraphed
to on the subject. General O'Neill's staff
are among the captured. Thirty-two Fee
Man pickets left by their friends fell into
the hands of the British. Attempts were
made to send reinforcemcnts across to Ca
nadia, but were prevented by the United
States gunbOats.
Escaped Fenians report that they had
no artillery, and finding that the British
troops with Armstrong guns were closing
around them, and no prospect of reinforce,

abandoning the case in preference to hang.

BUFFALO, June So p. M.-GeneraI
Meade has arrived here. The movement
from this point is still believed to be

near Prescott, with the view of capturing
Ottawa, the seat of government. The
Fenians here are still undismayed.

THE BUTCHER PRoBST.-NeXt Friday the
sun will for the last time rise upon the
murderer Probst. Since his confession,
none but those whom he desired have been
permitted to see him. During the re-
mainder of his hours on earth he will see
none but his contessors and the attendants
upon his cell. No marked change has
been wrought upon his mindby his spiritual
counsellors. lie says, in general terms,
that he is sorry for his crimes. That his
contrition for having massacred the chill
drcn of the Deering family is genuine is
not doubted but there is no hcartiness in
his expression of penitence for the murder
of Decring or his wife. To death, how
ever, he is reconciled; though were he
liberated this morning the monday sun
would probably disclose him again in the
lager-beer dens that he frequentcd during
the days intervening between the murders
and his arrest. No unnecessary deputies
or outside curiosity-seekcrs who desire to
induce the sheriff to evade the law, by
admitting them as especial deputies can,
by any finesee or subterfuge, obtain access
to the prison enclosure while the doom of
the law is being Observation-Disclosures"
