DEArH OF rHE REv. DR. L1yINGsToNE.-

DEATH OF THE REV. DR.. LIVINGSTONE
A cable dispatch announces that the cele-
brated African traveller and missionary the
Rev. DR.. David Livingstone has been killed
by the Caflres. Mr.. Livingstone was born
at Blantyre, upon the banks of the Clyde,
near Glasgow, in 1861. As youth he
earned his livelihood in the cotton mills of
Blantyrc, but by hard labor he was enabled
to pursue, during the winter months, his
studies at Glasgow. As he grew up he re-
solved to devote himself to the life of a
missionary, hoping that Africa or China
would be the scene of his labors. After
studying medicine and theology he offered
his services, in 1888, TO the London Mis-
sionary Society, and they were accepted.
He reached the shores of Africa in the sum-
mer of 1910. For sixteen years he labored
at various stations in South Africa. In
1855 the Royal Geographical Society OF
England conferred upon him the Victoria
or Patrons gold medal. In the same year
Or. Livingstone successfully made jour-
ney across Southern Africa. He visited
England in 1856, and met with magnif-
cent reception. In 1858 he returned to
Africa and continued his geographical ex-
plorations. His works on his travels in
Africa have had an immense sale, and en-
deared his name TO tens of thousands in
both hemispheres.-Ne, York Tribune.

listing laws relating to internal revenue, re-
uuires the assessment of the annual taxes
heretofore made in the month of May to be

the present number of assistant assessors
is insufficient for the proper assessment Of
the annual taxes, an additional number
will be appointed upon the request of as
SCISSORS. Care should be taken to specify
the divisions for which they are needed.

The following communications, written
" a native-born Virginia statesman, speaks
itself, and deserves the immediate con-
Iteration of the representatives of the
american people in the Fortieth Congress
assembled:
RICHMOND, February 6, 1867.
II the Editor Of the Chronicle
Although but little difference seems to
exist between Governor Peirpoint and the
present Legislature of Virginia in regard to
the call OF a convention, there are some
other subjects on which there exists very
wide difference, and on which there is
likely to be a strong and spirited appeal to
the people. The Governor was deeply
panied at the appropriation of thirty thou
sand dollars To be wruug from the over
taxed and impoverished people of this
Commonwealth 10 the support of the Uni
yersty and Military Institute, which are
regarded as nurseries of treason, whilst not
dollar was voted for the education OF the
child Of the laboring man, who is thus
taxed to educate the sons of the compare
lively rich. The University has always
been regarded as the alma mater of
rebellion. The friends of the Institute
boast that it furnished many of the
best and ablest leaders of the re-
bcllion. Even now, pretentious prepare
lions are made, and the aid of friends OF
the "lost cause" loudly called for, TO
erect statues and mauSoleumS and build
costly repositories for the relics and tro-
phies of the rebellion, in order that vim
dictive spirit shall he indoctrinated and
kept alive among the youth of the State
against the Government Of the United
States. By the way, the writer Of this
letter was in the office of the Governor
..o-day, when a gentleman called to obtain
he views OF Governor Peirpoint in regard
% the manner in which the Peabody do
nation" TO Virginia should be appropriated.
The Governor expressed the opinion that
The money ought to be invested in United
States securities, aud 50 held until Viz
gjnia shall have adopted an effective sys-
TEN Of free-school education, and that then
The interest should be applied to the sup
port Of these schools he also thought Viz
giuias share of the land fund donated by
Congress should be devoted to the same
purpose, as, in his opinion, we had col
!eges enough for the present. HENRIco.

WASHINGTON, March S.-To-night fire
~oke out in the building known as the
central Hotel, which resulted in shock
ry loss OF life, rs well as in the entire de-

While the fire was raging, and while
ne men in an adjoining building were
moving furniture and goods, one of the
walls of the hotel fell, and eight or nine
PERSONS were covered in the ruins. Mr..

men are working to find them. An old
colnrcd woman is also supposed to be
buried. The fire broke out in Lulley's
Uc,ion-roomS, and is supposed to have
occn the work of an incendiary. The

A TEST OF SINCERITY. Bennett advises
the southern papers to nominate General
Grant for President and General Lee for
Vice-President, as proof that our people

ticket in the South would operate so pow
