Obituary.:

We are called upon again, to record the death
of another fellow being; yes, Unsuitable death has
entered another household, but its sting was
robbed ofits terrors, for it sliced upon one who
had the bright mantle Of religion and Christian
virtues to bear her above the harm of its dreaded
dart. Never have l been called upon to chronicle
the departure of one in whom was exemplified
more true and substantial Christian feelings.
Mrs. HARRIET UPcHURcH, the wife OF A. A..
Upchurch, Esq, departed this life on the 18th
inst, at the residence of her husband, near Peach
Tree Grove, N. c. Having been deprived of
sight for fifteen years, she bore this dispensation
of Providence with a fortitude that religion only
can impart. She become by habit Injured to her
loss and could move in the family of which she
was an interesting member In meekness and
humility she moved on, awaiting, without fear,
the time when she would be removed from this
vain world to bright and sinless home, where
her eyes shall open, and never cease to gaze in
delight upon the pearly palaces of the New Jeru-
salem. .-.z- -..
May her only son, her relations and friends,
profit by her example, and be enabled when the
dread time shall come for them to die, to do as
she did .f s7s! =..f
Meet death without fear,
Knowing Heaven awaits them there

the smoke of battle have cast aside their
decisions, let them squarely come out and
march with us to victory. We are for equal
rights, unity, liberty, humanity, justice, the
| development of resources, and a free educa-
ton. Come, then, and put the power in the
hands of progressive men, who will make
this old Commonwealth, as it deserves to be,
great-a magnifcent-Staie. And now,
in conclusion. let me remark that the great
party which in a few months will canter over
the presidential field with less resistance
than ever before. does not beg for votes. But
we know you will come right, and are CON.
fident that old Virginia Will soon be foremost
in the ranks of radicalism. Don't wait for
others, but come now, if you accept these
principles. and then you will assist in the
further dissemination of the doctrines OF
Peace, Humanity, Justice, and the religion
of Christ.
After Senator Wilson retired. Major ]. H.
Lee advanced, and addressed the assembled
freedmen for nearly an hour, and We regret
exceedingly that the space already devoted
to Mr.. Wilson forbids our doing justice to
the second speaker.
Major Lee said that slavery was introduced
by the North; that he did not wish to see it
revived he warned the colored people
against intermeddling demagogues; he said
if confscation came, foreign soldiers would
get the lands to the exclusion of the southern
blacks; he reiterated his friendship for the
colored people, and counselled them to i'm
prove their condition mentally and physi-
cally. .ss t...r...
Subsequently Mr.. Wilson returned, and
assured the people that if rights were denied
colored men at the North, the guilt was upon
the Democratic party and a few timorous
Republicans. Another year will bring about
change. Ohio, Michigan, and New York,
will come all right. The great principle of
equal rights must everywhere prevail. He
positively declared to the white men pres
ent that the s. s. s. bill is a finality. and
that if its provisions are in good faith &C
cepted, no more will be, or could be, deman-
ded. If it is rejected, he admitted confisca-
ton might follow. Urging its acceptance,
lie said that after confiscation the State gov
ernments might be dissolved, and the South
divided into territories. Finally, he express
ed the hope that water power of our State
be made of service; that our mineral and
agricultural resources be developed and
said that all would rejoice in such an event,
for it would be an evidence of the improve
ment of our common country Pointing to
Massachusetts, lie hoped that by the adop-
ton of common school system Virginia
would follow her example.
The discussion was here concluded

A letter writer from the Paris Exhibition
describes as follows the preparation made
by French bar-keepers for English visitors
The proprietors of the French bars ap-
pear to keep their eye chiefly upon English
visitors, and to be still possessed with the
idea that the true Briton is as prone to
plum pudding in the dog days as he is at
christmas. On one French bar there is
orrible speckled mass that the poorest Lon
don cook.shop would repudiate, surmounted
with the inscription, real plum-pudding.' :"
This dreadful libel on our English dish is in
the close company of a shrivelled, shabby
lump of meat, inscribed, real roast beef I
hav no doubt that the cosmopolitan genius
who advised the French restaurateur to ca
ter for John Bull In this fashion imagines
that he will attract thereby the flower of the
English visitors." ~, 80

INJURY TO A FINE Work OF ART.-We
regret to hear of serious injury sustained by
the beautiful statue known as Barbee's Co.
auette During the war it was purchased
by our townsmen John g. Meen. Esq,
and sent to Mount Airy, his fine estate in
Shenandoah county. A few days age, while a
young lady visiting the house was turning
it on its pedestal, it toppled over and fell to
the floor, breaking one arm in two places,
and also the nose This was regarded as
one of the most exquisite pieces of stat
uary in the United States, and is q real ca
lamity to art that it has sustained these
damages. She is not the first Coquette, how
ever who has come to grief.-Lynch6uay Vir-
