MANCHESTER ITEMS.

CHESTERFIELD CouRT.-This body finish
ed its sitting on Tuesday. The business
was purely of civil character. Justice
Cox presided. The petition Of citizens of
the sixth magisterial district praying that
the fence law be modified so as to en-
brace Ettricks and Matoaca was rejected.
The law, therefore, remains in stafu quo.
After the adjournment of the court large
assemblage of the freedmen was address
ed by Colonel William Ambers Common
wealth's attorney, Captain Clopton, A.
S. Hancock (member of the Legislature
from this county,, Jordan McRae, and
other speakers, white and black. The
speeches were all eminently conservative.
The utmost harmony prevailed, and we are
far from believing that the freedmen of the
county are entirely radicalized.
BAsE-BALL.-A match game of base
ball, at Stratford Park, between the Con-
federates of Richmond and the invincible
Manchester Alerts resulted in victory
for the latter by score Of: Alerts, 46 i;
Confederates, A. The Alerts have an in
fallible knack of waxing every Club that
crosses James river to try its mettle. Who
comes next?
FAIR.-A fair has been in progress du-
ring this week for the benefit of the Co.
lored Baptist church. We are glad to
know that it has been extensively patron
lied and will be pecuniarily o success.
We return our thanks to the managers for
kind attention and remembrances. 1t will
continue all the week.
MARKET-HousE.-This building is being
rapidly completed, and when finished viii
be decided ornament to our town as wei
as a great convenience. We expect soor
to see its stalls filled with all the delica
cies which this part of the world affords.
PHILoLoGIANs.-A meeting of great I'M
portance will be held tomorrow night
and the attendance of every member is
earnestly requested. The meeting will be
called to order at 8 O'Clock precisely.

A POPULAR GOyERNMENT.-ln one OF
The theatres of Dublin the other day was
performed BoURCICAULT's drama Of "Jes-
-ic Brown; or, The Relief Of Lucknow"
in which occurs the incident in the siege
Of that place of the sudden cry Of JESSIE,
1T is the Slogan! Dinna ye hear it -
and ofthe arrival of troops to succor the
starved garrison. According to English
notions, justly or unjuStly, MANA SAHIB is
the villain Of the piece. In the course of
the drama, MANA utters some severe de-
nupciations of the British Government,
and when these were recited on the stage
the audience applauded in laundering
manner. In vain the loyal subjects of the
Queen essayed to run counter demon
siration. They were completely drowned,
and MANA found great difficulty in pro-
cceding. There are no people who, when
from home, are more ready to interpret
demonstrations Of this kind as the fore
runners of the downfall Of a monarch, and
none seem 10 derive more satisfaction from
them than the British. They can now
lave the pleasure Of considering popular
Indications nearer home than Paris.

.uits ~. Danville Railroad Company

An action was brought before the Cir
crit Court of Pittsylvania-Judge WING
yIYIp--last week by G. 7. PACE and wife,
Of Danville, against the Danville Railroad
Company for damages for injuries received
hv Mrs. PACE last year by the passen-
Ger train run ming off the track near Coal.
fcld. II will be remembered that several
persons were injured, and two fatally, on
the same occasion. MeSSrs. GILMER, II
GtLvER, and +. BARKsDALE, appeared for
tie plaintiffs, and Mcssrs. READ, TREDwAY
and FLoURNoY for the defendant. The
case was argued with great ability and in.
genui,y by counsel, and We learn resulted
in q disagreement of the jury. A portion
were for giving $500 damages, and the Others
were against any damages. The case was
by consent Of parties, continued TO be
tried before the court Of Dan vile, for the
convenience of witnesses.
Another case against the company, which
did not come up, was also changed from
the courthouse TO the court to be held al
Danyillc. This is the case of Morse as
the Danvill le Railroad Company to recover
the value Of certain tobacco. This to-
lacco was transported by the company
from Halifax to Danville, there to be
shipped TO Texas by the Southern Express
Company; but SHERMAN being then in the
way, the freight was paid, and it was left
in the depot. There it was at the surren.
der, and Confederate soldiers who broke
open the depot in search of Government
property took part of it off, while per-
sons in the neighborhood helped them
selves to the remainder. The owner re-
covered e part. The suit is brought for
the whole, and its value laid at $4,000.

HORTICULTURAL AND POMOLoGICAL So
cIErY.-A meeting of this Society was held
in one of the rooms of the Ballard House
yesterday afternoon, DR.. johnson, presi-
dent, in the chair. The time and place
of holding the Annual Fair being the
subject for which the meeting was
called, Mr.. Allan suggested that as there
was a member of the Executive Com
mittee of the State Agricultural So
ciety present, it would be well to hear
from him as to his experience about this
matter. Mr.. Charles B. Williams, the
gentleman alluded to, said that the expert
ence of that Society had been that the
fairs should all be held after wheat had
been sown; that the farmers then had
more time 10 attend to pleasure. After a
full description Of the subject, the
Society resolved to hold its first An
nual Fair in this city, commencing
on Tuesday the 18th of October, to
continue from day to day, at the
option of the Executive Committee.
On motion, it was resolved that the fre-
sident Of this Society correspond with the
other societies of the State with view to
aid in this exhibition. He also suggested
that it would be better hereafter to hold
two fairs each year: one in the spring and
the other in the fall. On motion, it was
resolved that the ladies be requested and
invited to become members of this Society.
On motion of Mr.. Hill, committee of five
was appointed to present the claims and
extend the membership Of this Society.
The following committee was named
Messrs. W. l.. Hill, j. G. Shields, John ].
Werth, G. W. Gilham, and William 6.
Taylor.
On motion to increase the Executive
Committee, Colonel Gillian and William
T. Sutherlin, of Danville, were elected;
The meeting then, on motion, adjourned
to meet at the call Of the President.

You've MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The regular monthly meeting of this AS
sociation was held at their rooms on Tues
day evening. The principal topic under
discussion was the propriety of sending
delegates to the annual convention OF
associations of this character which meets
in Montreal next week. Messrs. Pulliam
and Wilson, of Baltimore, were intro
duced, and urged the appointment OF
delegates to the convention in short ad-
dresses; after which Mr.. B. r. Wexford,
of this city, spoke earnestly and at length
in opposition to the measure: Messrs. u.
Lee Powell, J. H. Moore, and P. F. How
ard, also spoke against it, while Mr.. W. L..
Hill, in an able ertempore address, favored
the measure.
Finally, series of resolutions, offered by
Mr.. Wexford, respectfully declining to send
delegates to the convention were adopted
with but one dissenting voice. The reso-
lutions were we'll prepared, and breathed a
Christian like and fraternal spirit.

The Springs.

The old and popular Warm Springs are
open this year for visitors. See adver-
tscmcnt. 1t is one Of the most luxurious
baths in the world and one of the most
l.ncfcent in disease. 1t is, we believe,
the Oldest watering place in the State, next
to the Warm or Berkeley Springs of Nor
gan county.
The Bath Alum, four miles this side the
Warm, is q delightful place, and is kept in
good style by Mr.. BAXTER. The buildings
at this summer resort are excellent and
most comfortable. The water has a fine
reputation, and was about the first that at
tractcd much attention of that kind of Gu
ra.ive mineral water. See advertisement.
These springs are reached by stage from
NiIlboro depot, on the Central railroad.
The Amelia Sulphur Springs, of Amelia
county, are also ready for visitors. These
springs are popular here, and have been
much patronized 10y this city by those who
lad not leisure to go further away. The
locality is agreeable and healthy. See ad-
veriiSement.
Tie Bedford Alum, near the Virginia
and Tennessee railroad, has been long
known in its neighborhood as valuable
curative water, but has only i'll latter years
been advertised. See notice.

Mayors COURT-WEDNESDAY MORNING
MAYOR MAYO PREsIDGNG.-Lucy Harris,
charged with unlawfully insulting, beating.
and threatening to kill Camilla Hodges,
was called up. The affair proving to have
been a sort of family scrape, the party was
sent about their business.
Philip and Fanny A. Walker, charged
with assaultng and beating with intent to
MAIN and disfgure Conrad Baumhard.
Philip was fined $40 and required to give
surety for his good behavior. Fanny was
discharged.
John Hill, a well-dressed colored gentle
man, was called up to answer the charge
of threatening to mash Henry Powells
mouth, and to put him to other inconvenl-
ence, by free use of his fists. John, when
called up, came forward, and after bowling
to every one in authority and several OF
the barristers and reporters around, and
adjusting himself, took the position of a
soldier, ready to hear what might be said
against him.
1t appeared from Henry Powell's state
ment that he had attempted to interfere
with the marriage Of Hill with his sister.
Hill not relishipg this unwarranted inter
ference in his affairs du coeur, placed his
doubled manipular eXtremities in juxtapo-
sition to his intended brother-in-law' S
mouth, and uttered the dire threat. For
this unnecessary demonstration Hill was
required to give 500 surety for his future
good behavior, and Powell was warned not
to interfere with the management of any
of his sisters over twenty-one years of age.
Henry Neurohr, charged with keeping
his bar open after II o'clock Saturday
night, was fined.

Finally, use every means which Provi.
dence has given you to defeat your enc.
mieS; give them blow for blew, have con.
fldence in yourselves and each other, stand
to the 18th of April platform, and you will
achieve victory which will cause thrill
of Joy to vibrate in the heart of every
lover of humanity, liberty, and civiliza'
ton. asa
Mr.. Slack, of Massachusetts,, followed
Mr.. Wilson, and made speech rather
above the ordinary harangues to which we
are so wont to hear. He eXpatiated upon
the great resources Of the State; said that
he would use his pen and voice to infu-
ence the capitalists Of the North to pour
their riches into the South, and wished all
blessings for the people of Virginia.
Colonel Van Buren, of New York, was
next introduced, and spoke very humor-
ously of his attempted entrance into Rich
mond three years ago contrasted with the
ease with which he entered a day or two
since. He wished that he could be able
to speak to few thousand Of the men who
engaged in the war than to the large as
sembly before him. lie had seen so much
to harmonic his feelings that he didn't
dislike a rebel. He said, however, that If
the men who were not Union men thought
as he had heard they did, he would feel to-
wards them like the darkey on the witness
stand in the case of brother who was
arraigned for stealing chicken. He was
asked, "What is Jake's character ?"
Cha-acter, massa he amt got no cha-ac-
ter" But" was the rejoinder Of the
magistrate, "do you think Jake would
steal chicken?" "Well, massa," was
the reply, 81 don't know; but eff was a
chicken, and Jake was eny whar about,
dis niger would roose mighty high" He
followed with many arguments urging the
colored men to vote with the Radical
party, warning them that unless they did
the rebels would get the reins of Govern
ment, and virtual state of slavery would
be the result.
He was followed by Mr.. Morse, Of Bos-
ton, and several others, who spoke pretty
much in the strain of those who preceded
them; after which, the meeting adjourned.

On Tuesday last q passenger train on the
Southside railroad ran off the track at o
point about seven miles from Lynchburg.

dropping the body of the car upon the
track while ascending the heavy grade
going up from the river. The car was
crowded with passengers, mostly ladies,
but fortunately, as the speed was not

CRETE.-The inhabitants Of the island OF
Candia-ancient Crete-have made glorl'
Gus defence against the Turks. 1t is hard
ly possible that people showing such
consistency and force should be yet aban'
dOned to the Turks. The invincible SIR.
OAR EEREM, whose name is tower ol
strength with the Porte, unable to con-
qQer the stubborn and brave Cretans in the
mountains, has tried The resource of raVa.
giDg the plains as barbarian.
1t is reported that England, in her OWL
trading and sbop-keeping spirit, proposes
that Turkey shall be paid s6,000,00O fol
Crete. This is more than half as much as
the United States pays for Sitka.

the chief rivers in Maryland were "Poko-
moke, Nanticoke, Choptank, and Chester"
His friend replied that he remembered
Morse, but had forgotten this "nice de-
rangement of epitaPhs." He, however
knew something about Piankitank." The
elder suggesting that about that river frogs
most did congregate, the senior promptly
replied I" Yes, and like some OF our hard

COLoRED CITIZENS MIsTAKEN.-A short
time ago number Of colored men Of the
Second Ward united in petition to Gene
raj Schofield to remove Mr.. L. j. Crump,
who had been appointed registering off
Ger in that ward, urging that he was dis
loyal to the United States during the war,
and that his continuance would be detri-
mental to the colored suffragans. After a
full and careful examination Of white and
colored witnesses, Captain Chalfn, A. A.
G., in letter to Captain T. E. Rose, Pre-
sident of the Board of Registration, pro-
nounced the charge utterly without foun-
dation," and orders that Mr.. Crump "be
retained as registering officer"
