OLD YIRGINI1.

The Republicans OF Virginia will hold their
first State Convention at Richmond Oh the first
of August, and the portents of trouble and
probable division are painfully obvious. We
will not here assume to sit in Judgment on the
rival factionists, preferring to speak of what
should be rather than of what may and prOba-
bly, will b4
Virginia + naturally-by position and by the
traditions of nearly a centurY-a State of
strong Union proclivities. Were she otherwise.
her soil would be no fit abiding g-pace for the
bones of Washington, of Madison and of Mar
shall She has the most obvious reasons for
choosing TO be a central rather than border
State, and to have a large portion of the pro-
ducts Of the Great Valley take the shortest
and quickest way to the ocean across her ter
rtOry, rather than sec it meander to the sea
board by Baltimore, New York or Ncw-0r-
leans. The madness induced by Slavery and
Rebellion swerved her temporarily from her
balance; but the culpable folly of 1861 and its
terrible consequences are likely to be held ev-
ermOre in burning remembrance by her people
She is far less likely TO err again than though
she had always been loyal. We confidently
assert that there is far more of the Secession
virus to-day in the blood of Maryland or of
Kentucky than in that of the Old Dominion.
Virginia eminently needs peace. Her entire
area has been ravagcd and devastated, her
buildings, fences, bridges, &C., burned, her
cattle devoured, and her population more than
decimated, by Civil War. We estimate that at
least full tenth of her White men and bows
between 10 and 80 years of age on the day of
her insane Secession have perished in battle
or hospital and that an equal number are
crippled or disabled for life by diseases result
ing from the privatiOns exposures and hardships
of campaigning. While her natural resources
Of every kind are immense, her present dearth
alike of wealth and muscle will long keep her
poor and inefficient. Ten times her present
mOneyed capital or movable wealth, with
five times her present population, would find
profitable employment within her limits-far
more bfoftable than I'm How be obtained for
what she actually has
When we pray for pedce, we do not mean
abject submission to her unhorscd Chivalry on
the one hand, nor the unchecked domination of
her emancipated and enfranchised Blacks on
the other. The peace we plead for will con-
cede to the Blacks every right and relieve tho

Judging from the awards of prizes made by
tie Commissioners of the Paris Exhibition, We
should conclude that England is behind France
no, only as regards excellence in the Fine
Ars, but--contrary to the generally received
opnion-as manufacturing country. Thus,
for Paintings in oil and other paintings she gets
only one great prize, while France gets four.
In Sculpture she does not compete and of the
four great prizes under this head France re-
ceiyes two. For Architecture, of the great
prizes, England obtains one and France one.
For Engraving and Lithography, all the great
prizes have gone to France. For Printing and
Books, out of ten great prizes, one only goes
to England, and no less than seven are carried
of by France. For Photography, the two great
prizes are taken off by France, and England
gets only bronze medal for Photographic por
traiture. For Furniture and other objects for the
use of dwellings, nine gold medals are allotted
to France, and but one to England. Of the
six gold medals for excellence in Glass
and Crystal, five 90 to France and
one to England and of the five for
Paper Hangings, France takes four and England
one. For Cutlery, France receives two gold
medals and England one; and out of the IL
gold medals for Gold and Silver Plate, seven
are distributed among Frenchmen, and three
awarded to English houses For the manufac-
ture of Cotton Threads and Fabrics, France
shows IA gold medals to five for Great Britain.
and the disproportion is still greater for Lace,
Embroidery, and Trimmings, France receiving
IL gold medals and England one. For Jewelry
and Ornaments, France obtains six gold medals
and England one For Railway Apparatus, the
great prize and eight gold medals fall to France,
and England gets three gold medals; and In

ex- Rebels from every disability. Virginia has
urgent need of the wisdom and energy o1 au
her sons.
We plead then, with the Convention about
TO assemble at Richmond for peace-hot that
peace which is wrought by irresistible power
acting upon'abiect helplessness, but that which
flows from mutual consciousness OF reciprocal
rood nrotrocted struggle between the
Whites and the Blacks of Virginia is fraught
with incalculabie damage to DoIh classes 10
their State, and to the country
And there is no decent pretcxt Tor any
further struggle at all. The Reconstruction
acts and their enforcement have eiiaced every
reason for one. The freedom OF the Blacks
ia secured by their enfranchisement, Hence
forth tbev can only be reduced to a second
vassalape through their own apathy, needless
ness or treachery. And they are neither apa-
tbetic nor false to themselves, nor are they
likely to be-
What we ask then, of dle approaching Con-
vention is the proclamation of peace which
shall be no mockery, no snare, no transient
illusion, but hearty, general, abiding. We want
q peace that will increase the market value OF
every Virginian's properly and labor, be he
White or Black. We wan peace which snail
truthfulIy say to "a rejoicing country The
great Civil War is endet; henceforth, we are
brothers, and an attack IN the rights OF any
" class will be resented AMI resisted by all"
Such are the aspirations which will lmpel us
to watch with lively interest the doings OF the
pending Virginia Republican Convention Ihey
are not unshadowed by ,ears but our hopes
predomnate, and impel belief that plat
formEwill be framed and Wicket nominated at
Richmond on Thursday which will be over
whelmingly successful, ant will largely conduce
TO the reGstablishment d National integrity,
fraternity and solid prosperity.

Though we are but very imperfectly IN
formed of the advance of the Russians in Cen
trail Asia, we know that for several years they
have been steadily cOnquering portions OF
Independent Tartary and annexing them to the
Russian dominions. In 1865 the country con-
ouered until that time was constituted Rus
sian government (province), under the name
of ToOrkistan. Since then large additional
cOnquests have been made, and Cable dis
patch from st. Petersburg informs us that the
country lately conquered has been constituted

still bravely holding out against their invaders,

the Paraguayans is described as something
extraordinary, the women even meeting 10
gether to offer their jewels of gold and dia-
monds to the chief of the Republic for the
expenses of the war, and to express their
readiness to take up arms in defense OF their
country, should the Republic be in need or
their services. 1t will be no easy task to con-
uuer a people imbued with such spirit as
that which animates the Paraguayans. Indeed,

A Frenchman has been found brave enough
TO decline challenge to fight Il duel. NJ.
Sainte Beuve. well known rs an elegant writer,
and one of the most accomplished critics in
France, is a member of the French Senate.
About two weeks ago, during a discussion in
that body, in which this celebrated writer took
part, he was rudcly interrupted in his speech
by one of the Senator'S who used some insult
ing expressions toward him. He replied to the
offensive observations with commendable spirit
and the result was a challenge. This Sainte
Beuve declined to accept, protesting against
that summary jurisprudence which consists
"in strangling question aud sippressng an
individual in forty-eight hours and asking
permission, according to my custom, TO intro
hduce a little reflection and delay the set
element of the business Another challenge
couchcd in more pcremptory terms, was i'm
mediatcly sent, but with no more satisfactory
result to the challenger, Sante Beuve replying
this time that he recognized no arbitration
"but that whose honor is not the point OF
"honor and in which reason has its place
1t is clear he won't fight, and his belligerent
colleague will probably trouble him no more.
Sainte Beuve is u brave man; for, considering
the state of public opinion in France on the
question of dueling, it requires no ordinary
courage for a Frcnchman thus practically to
repudiato "the code OF honor" Hitherto the
Frenchman who should refuse to fight when
challenged would be socially Ostracised. We
shall see what will be done with the accom-
plshed Senator.
