ALEXANDRIA,
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST "a

In the address Of MIR. Bacque, the new
Turkish Minister, to the President of the T.
s., yesterday, upon his presentation, in speak
ing Of the causes for mutual esteem" between
the D. S. and Turkey, he said
Both conquerors, each has followed in its
conquests the path traced for it by the manners
and instincts of its epoch--one conquering by
the force OF arms, the other chiefly by the arts
of peace. There is still one remark able cir
cumstance, perhaps not yet sufficiently uoder-
stood in this quarter Of the world, where, how
ever, so much is known, namely: that these
two nations differ slightly 10 the principles on
which their social organization is based and
while on the one hand the extent of ocean
which separates and divides them seems des-
tined to keep them strangers to each other, on
the other the democratic afhnitles OF their IN
situations tend to draw them to one another.
1t will sound. at least, strangely to hear it
thus stated that Turkey and the U. 5. differ
but slightly in the principles Of their social or
ganizaton, and that the democratic ,affnities
of their institutions tend 10 draw them to-
gether
The President replied very kindly aud cour
teously, and in the most friendly spirit aud
language to this address.

DFpLoRALE TRAGEDY We learn that d
most deplorable tragedy Occurred near Dub

hiehy estimablc young gentleman named

drew i pistol and was about 10 use it, when
Stewart who Was unarlnel ran OF, 10 prevent
being shot. The negro was pursuing him,
when young McGa7ock who mad BEEN out
hunting came along On his way home, aud
placing himself in the path, ATTEMPTED to stop
him with his gun, for this purpose, using the
mu2ZIc in pushing him back. During the
struggle the gun WAS accidentally discharged,
the load entering the mans shoulder, and
cntctlng an ugly, bat by no means serious
wound. This stopped the pursuit, and 1t va,
thought the affair vas ended. At mig httall,
however, The WOultucu man anu i crown VI
negros from Dublin and the neighb0rhooa,
gathered ut Dublin many Of them armed; and
made preparation to attack and kill young
McGav0cE at his mother house near by
Before the plot was executed, however, young
Stewart heard Of it, and believing young Nc
Ga70oE was ignorant Of his danger, started to
Inform him Of the reril in which he stood. It
appears that he hal already been warned, and
that be and Alr. Gray, who Was also
pant ul the house, were prepared Tor the emtr
gency " hen Stewart arrived al the house,

with the mnz2le OF lis gun, to awaken the in-
mates, and Dir. Gray seeing him, aud BENZ
fully convinced that he was one OF the negroes
endeavcling to ehoot into the room, raised his
pistol and fired with too fatal precision, the ball
penetrating young Stewart neck, causing his
death almost instantly.
The negroes soon after went to the place,
bnt hndiDy the family thoroughly prepared to
defend themselves, retreated without making
an attack thus fortunately further blood shed

The death Of young Stewart, the more

Gov. PElRpoINT AT HARRIsoNBURa This
gentleman appeared in the Court House on
Mooday. The diversity between the Governor
and Hunnicutt We cannot understand, judging
from the views ascribed to Hunnicutt and the
speech made by Gov, Peirpoint, The speech
of Gov. Peirpoint was an endorsaflon. pro-
mitigation, of the poeti, sentiment that ''igno-
rance is bliss" He eschewed, Or rather dis
pensed with, intellect iu man, so he had
heart" The speech was chiefly an attack
upon the University of Virginia, William and
Mary, and the College aud Institate at Ley
lngton, contending that they were for the
benefit Of the rich, and asserting in the face
OF the fact, that, no rich man sou eau be sdu
Gated there free of charge, aud in the face Of
the fact that poor mans son can, and that
every year there is place for the poor boy,
free Of charge, and tor the rich never; 10 the
face Of the truth, that the University is the
first institution Of learning in America and
second to none in the world In ahort, Gov.
Peirpoiut is a eveler We don L know
what Hunnicutt can have said or done worse
than Gov Peirpoint. Surely he could not
have performed his part in worse styie.--
