TERRIBLE OUTRAGE.-W learn that on
the 2Sth Of July, Thomas johnson, son Of
Oakley johnson, while at work in his field,
in Grayson county, Va, was taken by a
party Of negroes, tied and carried a short
distance to where another party Of twelve
negroes and four white men were laying
in wait Here johnson discovered that the
villains had another white man tied, with
nothing on him but drawers and shirt !;
supposed that they had dragged him from
his bed; and believed that they intended
to hang both of them. johnson made his
escape while two Of these villains, who
were guarding him were asleep; they hav-
ing been up all the night before. What

firmly believes he was hung by these vii

DIR. schenck,s pulmonic syrup.

HIS great medicine cured DR.. j. Ii. ScHENcK
the Proprietor of Pulmonary Consumption,
when it had assumed its most formidable aspect,
and when speedy death appeared to be inevitable.
His physicians pronounced his case incurabIe
when he commenced the use of this simple but
powerful remedy. His health was restored in a
very short time, and no return fthe disease has
been unprecedented, for all the symptoms quickly
disappeared and his present weight is more than
two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his attention
exclusively to the cure Of Consumption and the
diseases which are usually complicated with it;
and the cures effected by his medicines have been
very numerous and truly wonderful. DR.. Schenck
makes professional visits to several of the larger
cities weekly, where be has large cOncOurse of
patients and it is truly astonishing to poor
sumptves that have to be lifted out of their car
riages and in few months healthy robust persons
DIR. SCHENCK'S PULM0NIC SYRUP, SEA-
WEED TONIC, and MANDRAKE PILLS are
generally all required in curing Consumption.
Full directions accompany each, so that any one
take them without seeing DIR. Schenck, but
when it is convenient it is best to see him. He
gives advice free, but for a thorough examination
with his Respirometer his fee is three dollars.

OBITUARY..

Died, at his residence, in Harrisonburg, on
Friday morning, August I'd, 1867, after pro-
traeted illness, Of consumption, ALEXANDER
BOWMAN, formerly of Woodstock, Shenandoah
county, Va, aged 81 years, months and q
days.
He leaves widow and nine children to
mourn over the loss Of % most devoted husband
and an affeetonate and indulgent father. 1t
was ia the beautiful and interesting relation
of husband and father that Mr. Bowman's
character shone consplcuously. He had never
sought, never desired any public station; but
had lived content in the charmed and attract
i've circle formed by his happy family around
his quiet and peaceful hearthstono. Of this
social circle he was The central igure and chief
ornament. Death, remorseless and stern, how
ever, seems to love ''shining marks" In Sc
Letting this husband and father, and taking
him from the society aad endearmeats of his
humble home, he has riven fond hearts wi! a
the deepest anguish. 1t will be long, indeed
ere the writer CT this can forget the suppressed
vail of profoundest anguish which went up
from that family when the coffin-hd was closed
upon his pale face, and the elods Of the valley
were thrown into his grave. And no wonder.
For no woman ever had kinder, fonder husband;
no children ever knew more generous, affec-
tionate and induigent father. But they should
feel resigned to this decree of Providence; for
"The pain life its anguish and distracting eare,'
are new forever over with him whom they loved
so well and his,
t'Quiet, immovable breast,
Shall be heaved by affection no more
He rests sweetly and quietly in his narrow
bed until The consummation Of all things, when
he shall have, we would humbly trust, "a part
in the first resurrection

WASHINGTON, August 9.-Secretary
Stanton was not at the Cabinet meeting to-
day.
The internal revenue receipts to day
were $3.50, 900.
There is nothing new from the Surratt
jury yet (nine P. NJ They sent a sealed
document to Judge Fisher to-day but its
contents have not TRANSFERRED.
The Commissioner of the Land Office has
confirmed the title Of Rancho San Mignello
to Moreics Gonzales, who claims it under
a Mexican grant prior to the acquisition Of
California by the United States.
1t appears, from an official document,
which will be published tomorrow, that
Charles A. Durham (the same who the
Attorney General says has become notori-
Gus under the name Of Sanford Conover)
has applied to the President for pardon.
He was recently convicted of perjury and
sent to Albany. The application appears
to be predicated in part on supposed If.
regularity in the constitution Of the jury,
and upon the services he is alleged to have
rendered the cause of justice in the collec-
ton of evidence against John II. Surratt.
James NJ Ashley, who has been active in
impeaching the President, addressed let
ter, July %, to Judge Holt and Hon. A.
G.. Riddle, suggesting that Conover was
entitled to a pardon, and enclosing the
form Of paper for the purpose. Mr.. Rid
die, July 23d, wrote to the President say
ing that he (R.) had been entrusted with
the management and preparation of the
Surratt case in April last, and bad been
greatly aided by Durham" who, although
in Jail, managed to become informed of the
progress of the case from time to time, and
communicated important facts and sug-
gestions. He urged that, in consideration
of this, the Government should make it's
appreciation of the service rendered Gin
a way not to be mistaken" Judge Holt
also wrote to the President urging Dur
hams pardon.
Durham, July Doth, himself wrote a
petition for pardon to the President and
on the 29th wrote letter TO him declaring
the alleged schemes of Ashley and others
to obtain false witnesses to associate the
President with Booth in the assassination.

Ex-Secretary Stanton.

Forney's Chronicle, of yesterday, con-
tains the following:
The rumors which have been afoat for
some days past in relation to the anxiety
Of President Johnson to remove the Secre-
tary of War from his Cabinet, have been
verified by facts. On Monday the Presi-
dent addressed note to the Secretary,
stating, in substance, that considerations
of public interest would persuade him (the
President) to accept his (Mr Stanton's)
resignation if rendered. This note reached
the Secretary yesterday morning. He re-
piled that considerations of public interest
had prevailed with him TO hold his office
for several months past, and that consider
atoms Of public interest would prevail with
him to hold it until the assembling of Con-
gress. All applications for official copies
of the correspondence have been refused,
but its contents have been made known,
and The foregoing, We believe, embrace all
it contains, as it is extremely brief. We
learn that the President has resolved to
suspend the Secretary from performing the
functions Of his Office, and will shortly in
form him that he will cease to recognize
him in bis official capacity. 1t is also said
that this subject was considered in Cabinet
yesterday, and that the members present
sustained the President in this determine
ton.
The National Intelligence, of yesterday,
also contains an editorial in regard to the
matter, in which Mr.. Stanton's contuma-
cy in refusing to resign is shown to be UNI
precedentedly wanting in the commonest
instincts Of personal honor and public de-
cency. The Intelligencer makes lengthy
quotations from the debate in the Senate
last winter, on the civil tenure bill, by
which it is shown that Stanton's conduct
has been denounced in advance, even by
leading members Of the Republican party,
"could not imagine that any Cabinet
minister would be guilty Of such turpi-
tude. = Richmond E1nqarsyer.

R The Richmond WHO nom;nates

E The Richmond Wing dominates
Governor Peirpoint for the gubernatorial
chair, under the new order of things
1t is understood that Mr.. Hunnicutt. edi-
tor OF the New Nation, Richmond, will be
the candidate of the mongrel party. He
will doubtless receive the great body of
the colored votes, and perhaps half of the
intensely loyal white votes
If we could have the privilege of choos-
ing between Governor Peirpoint and editor
Hunnicutt, we should unquestionably take
the former. by large odds.
IF the mongrels- that is, "Hunnicutt
and his set''-should persist in their de-
termination to reject from their organiza-
ton all except those whom they term Gun
conditional union men," and Hunnicutt
should adhere to his determination to be
candidate, Bolts and his party and the
registered rebel voters may be induced to
corporate" for the purpose of securing
Gov. Peirpoint's election.
Gov. Peirpoint has shown disposition
to deal justly with the people, notwith-
standing his radical proclivities, and we
are inclined to think that he is as good a
man as the conservative voters of Virginia
can reasonably expect to see elected.
Hunnicutt does not possess a single
qualification for the high position to which
he aspires. He is too vindictive bigoted,
self-righteous and ignorant to deal impair
TALLY and justly with all parties, and es-
pecially with the rebels. He would use
the Office to advance the interests of his
own party and to Cypress the opponents
of his abominable doctrines. If he had
the power, and possessed the same amount
OF experience and sense, he would be a
second Brownlow. He would govern with
an iron rod
Gov. Peirpoint has declared his deter
animation to stump the State before the
elections provided for by the late acts of
Congress, for the purpose of inducing the
people to accept the terms imposed upon
us by the said acts The people can hear
him, and if they think him a better man
than Hunnicutt, or whoever else may be
nominated by his party, they can vote for
him.
