was their mission TO be good, and their
nature to be lovely. The altar upon which
no had ever been most ready to sacrifice
his all upon, was the altar of female love.
In conclusion, he reminded the ladies that
those whose memories they wished to
honor had fought for their safety, and died
that they might live. He assured those
present of his qualification, and the ladies'
that if il were ever in his power to do
them any service in their holy work, he
would bc Mt their service.
After the speaking was over, the assem-
blace scattered themselves around the
hillsides, the young people to gossip and
carry on. and the old ones to discuss the
questions of the day. In one portion OF
the grove was a refreshment table, pre-
sided over by Mrs. General Lindsay Walker,
another by Mrs. William Spears, and op-
posite to them was third, kept by Miss
Hughes, of Kentucky, Miss Powers, and
the Misses Ball. At about o'clock din
ner was announced, and about five hun
drcd persons gathered around the tables
that had been spread out. In spite of the
great crowd there was enough left after
dinner was over TO feed half as many again.

Picnic OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AT.

/ Picnic OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AT,
TAcBED TO Rev. MR. MIcHELBAcHERsSY SYxA-
morning at O'Clock :
very CAV and lively train departed ffom
the depot of the Richmond and Fredericks-
burg railroad on Broad street. II conveyed
| the teachers and children Of the sunday
school attached to the Rev. Mr.. Michel
bacher's Synagogue TO Ashland, where
they were to spend the day In innocent
pastimes, interspcrsed with appropriate re-
| freshments. There were O number OF
parents and relatives of those belonging to
the Sunday school-the whole number
joining in the holiday being about five
hundred. 1t was formerly the custom to
have this celebration at least once year
but the last was in 1860. So that after
long interval the children and their teach
ers entered into the joys Of the present
occasion with unusual zest and enthusi-
asm. .et,# r.. -.-
The school is under the direction Of Mr..
Michelbacher, assisted by Messrs. David
MitteIdorfer, Gustavus Millhiser, Charles
Hutzler, and Gustavus Thalheimer, teach
ers. The children, dressed with unusual
taste and simplicity for such an occasion,
departed in high glee. Their little hearts
no doubt jumped little more lively at the
recollection that the train carried along
with them every sort of refreshment suited
to the season and their appetites.
Once in Ashland, after delightful ride
they ran wild with delight in the pleasant
grove, induIging in all sorts Of sports.
But that which most attracted the specta-
tor was the dancing in the large ballroom,
which was kept up most OF the day. Ihe
dancers were constantly changing; but
from fifty to hundred at time partlcl-
pated in it. The scene was fairy-like.
The young people were really good dan
GERS, and they entered into the sport so
heartily and joyously that the looker-on
could scarcely himself keep out of the
ring One of the loveliest and most inno-
cent scenes in life is the dance OF chill
dren. To see them threading the mazes
of the different figures, their faces glowing
with delight and their eyes bright with
Joy, not an act or step that is ungraceful;
not thought or wish immodest or un-
sanctified by innocence, is one of the not
too many irreproachable and lovely phases
of human life, which we can never be tired
of, and never cease to admire.
Professor Rosenberger's fine band made
excellent music for the youthful dancers.
There was no lack of refreshments, and
among the remarkable things in this line
was a mammoth bowl of lemonade Of fully
seventy five gallons, which was very re-
freshing to never-resting, ever-moying chill
dren on hot day.
The sum collected from adults who
Joined the excursion paid all expenses, and
leaves an amount with which it is intended
to buy prizes for those children whose con-
duct and merits may deserve them.
The company, old and young, returned
in the cars at s o'clock, entirely satisfied
with the days enjoyment.

RICHMOND CoLLEGE.-It will be crafty
ing to the friends of this institution to
learn that the board of trustees have re-
solved to open the college again on the LIST
of October next, with full and able
faculty, and to make it in all respects
eaual to the best schools in the country.
President Robert Ryland rendered his re-
signation to the trustees, and it was
accepted. A committee to recommend a
new faculty has been appointed, and they
will aim to secure men for each chair OF
suuerior ability.

operations. We have to be party to an
active struggle for the trade and trans
portation of the country, if we hope to
make great city here. And to be enabled
to bring those vessels that can reach City
Point to the wharvcs at Rockets, would be
an invaluable advantage in this struggle.

NEARLY REBUILT.-West, Beardsley &
Co.'s large agricultural implement ware:
house on Cary, between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets, the side walls Of which
having sprung, were taken down, is nearly
rebuilt. The proprietors acted wisely in
taking down the defective wallis and re-
building them. The next prudent act to
putting up good solid walls is the pulling
down unreliable ones and rebuilding them
in proper manner. There are possibly a
few other houses in the city whose owners
would do well to follow the prudent ex-
ample of Messrs. West, Beardsley Go.

FILLING UP THE RIvER.-The public au-
thoritics should take care, while the opera
ton Of dredging is going on, that no source
of deposit for filling up the channel should
be permitted, if it can be possibly stopped.
The business of dredging is expensive, and
even if it were not, a rapidly y-obstructed
channel requiring inceSsant exertlon to
keep clear must annoy and impede navlga-
tion more or less.
Earth from foundations, &C., has been
deposited on the river bank below Mayo'S
warehouse, without wall TO coniine 1t
there, and the last fresh washed much OF
it away, dcpositing it along the side of the
shore between the dock and the river. The
wreck of the West Point, lying opposite
the mouth of the dock, forces a large part
of the deposit from this loose bank Of
earth around into the mouth Of the dock.
This will probably give trouble, because OF
the Shallowness il occasions at the entrance
TO the dock.
The City Council ought to look to this
matter. Persons who are making lots where
water lately stood ought to be compelled
TO fix upon a boundary TO avoid showing
James river to the Manchester side, and
uepFlNlng us ol wafer chouSu loI thS 'C'-
sells at our wharveS. Not only should the
line not be allowed to encrOach too much
upon the river; but no man ought to be
allowed to dump earth on the river shore
until he has built a wall to keep it from
washing away. One would think that it
would be as much to their interest as to
that of the city to secure the earth they
accumulate on the river shore. To dump
it where the water washes it away is
very Improbable labor to themselves,
while it subjects the commerce OF Rich
mond to serious Inconvenience and loss.

HEAD CENTRE STEPHENS IN RICHMOND
A large number of persons, including
few ladies, attended the Fenian meeting
held at Old Market Hall last evening, to
hear the speech of Mr.. Stephens. The
crowd was constantly changing one, per.
sons coming and going all the time; and
during the progress of the meeting there
were doubtless enough present to have
filed the hall twice. Mr.. Stephens speaks
in pleasant, conversational manner, with.
out any attempt at display, and with good
share of the Irish brogue. He denounced
the invasion of Canada by the Roberts fac
ton as having been undertaken contrary
to the wishes of the leaders among the
Fenians. He declared, emphatically, that
this false movement was the severest blow
which the cause had received from any
quarter; that neither it nor any similar
enterprise in any other country benefits the
people of his native land, but that the first
blow for Irish independence must be struck
upon Irish soil. His remarks were fire.
