proper pilot to steer us thro' the storm ?''-
Among the many distinguished gentlemen who
have been spoken of in connection with the Of
flee, there is none whose name attracts more
general attention, or touches more fully the
great heart of the ma ses, than that ofJohn b.
Baldwin of Augusta. A profound lawyer, a
sagacious statesman, a popular orator, honest,
straightforward and firm, thoroughly identified
in interest and affection with the people and
acquainted with their wants, he is emphatically
a Representative man, and embodies all the wis
dom, prudence and experience which should be-
long to the Executive officer of great Com
monwealth His popularity in the Valley of
Virginia is unbounded, and his strength per-
haps greater than that of any other citizen of
the State, and it is earnestly to be desired
stead of Witnessing an unaignified scramble for
office in this contest that men of all parties and
of all shades of opinion will unite their strength
and elevate to their chief position Of trust this
fearless Tribune Of the people. VALLEY

'Col John B. Baldwin, the speaker of the
House of Delegates in speech Of great power
and eloquence, unfolded yesterday the scheme
for the consolidation of the Eastern railroads Of
Virginia with the Covington and Ohio railroad
His address produced marked effect on the
House and galleries, and, in all likelihood, pre-
pared the way for the passage Of some measure
with sufficient guarantees for the accomplish

Fair &c Dinner.
n AIDES. MEMORIAL

"a ASSOClAIlON-
A FAIR will be held, and public Dinner
given by the ladies of this association in The town
of Staunton on the Fourth Monday of March,
1867, with the view of providing further means
for the prosecution of the work in which they
have long been engaged, in which much has been
accomplished but where very much remains to
be done. 1t needs not to commend this holy
work to the sympathies of our people. An I'M
desecrated grave is poor return for the sacrifice
of life; yet this is all we can now accord Let
this be cheerfully given. Hitherto, the ladies in
the country have had small opportunity of CO.
operating in this work. Money only has been
asked, and, in many instances, this they had not
to spare. Now, contributions are solicited of
such kind that each may bestow something
Everything that can be available in furnishing
the dinner; every article of use of ornament to
supply the tables of the Fair will be needed, and
will be of avail in swelling the proceeds. Send
-four, meat, poultry, butter, eggs, produce of all
kinds Send clothing yarn, socks,-in short,
everything that each one, in his circumstances,
can spare Send articles of use, where it can be
done, rather than such as are merely ornamental.
Let the ladies in each neighborhood associate and
prepare contribution and send it to the Associ-
alton at Staunton some ten days previous to the
fourth Monday in March. This fair will be kept
open from day to day until all the articles con-
tributed are disposed of. Jan. 22-td
