Gov, Peirpont.

In the language of citizen of Rockingham
county, who has the faculty of using expressive
terms his Excellency, Gov. Peirpont, 'explo-
ded his explatterments' in the Court house of
this place on yesterday-Court-day. AS we
were engaged during the time in writing receipts
for those who called upon us to pay their sub
scriptions to the Spectator, we did not hear the
Governor speech, and, in fact, did not have
much desire to do so, as we supposed he would
make the same speech here that he did in Har-
risonburg, and, judging from the reports OF the
papers of that place, we were satisfied that it
would be such as would reflect no credit on the
Governor of great State like Virginia, and
would add nothing to his strength as a candi-
date for election for another term. The people
of this State would vote for him with more will
ingness, Tor rather with less unwillingness) if
he were to remain at his post of duty in Rich
mond, and would not go stamping" over the
State delivering speeches containing sentiments
obnoxious to the better class of its citizens, and
depriving the farmers of needed labor by caus-
ing the negroes to leave their work to go to
hear his speeches. If the people be reduced to
to the straitened alternative of voting for Pier
pont or Hunnicutt, the majority, We suppose,
will vote for the former, but will feel that such
preference would not imply much of compli-
ment-being choice of evils-not that they
dislike Peirpont's views the less, but that they
dislike Hunnicutt's the more.
P S.-After the above was in type, we were
informed by those who heard the Governor
speech here that it consisted of pointless gene
ralities, and that he did not assail here, as he
did in Harrisonburg, the institutions of learn
ing in the State. He made no allusion to his
allegations against the clergy, or his remark in
reference to General Stonewall jackson

Scenes in Richmond.

Under the head of ''Disgraceful Scenes at the
Mayors Court in Richmond, the Wing Of
that city gives an account of an assault by
colored woman upon white witness in Court,
followed by ''yelr from the crowd of colored
people, and adds, that when the carrier of Hun
nicutt' paper, brought up for making an un-
necessary noise in the market, was told by the
Mayor to be more quiet and orderly for the flu
ture, Hunnicutt told the boy, ito continue as
before even at the peril of his life" The Wing
says -
''The Virginian, loyal or disloyal, who wit
messed the scenes which occurred in the Mayor
Court, Saturday, without the deepest lamenta-
ton at seeing to what vile uses have our courts
of justice come, could surely never have nursed
at the breast of Virginian mother, nor left a
pulsation of admiration in his heart when, in
times gone by, he beheld her citizens orderly
and law abiding, and her Judiciary and laws
respected and obeyed. We venture to say that
since Richmond became a city nothing COM
parable with it has ever occurred. The Mayor
the representative of civil authority within in
limits, was scoffed at, and his cries of order as
little needed as if he had been one of the lowest
and most powerless of the mob that defed
him. -

The next Association is to be held with Sha-
ron Church, Albemarle county, about twenty
miles southwest from Charlottesville. We have
been informed the members of this Association
were so highly delighted with our noble Valley
and it's people, that they resolved to hold its
sessions every alternate year with the churches
on this side of the Blue Ridge mountains.
One church Lexington was admitted into
the Association at the present session, and one
church &c charlottesville African) withdrew, leav-
ing the same number as last year, 43; seven OF
the number failed to send up letters. From
the churches that reported, there had been
baptized during the year about 500 persons
The total membership in the forty three churches
is somewhat above 1000; of this number 5000
are colored persons.

Good Advice.

Governor Vance, of North Carolina, has CIV
en- some very sensible counsel to the colored
people of his neighborhood. He does not at
tempt to conceal that he has little hope that
his advice will be taken, SO industrious have
been the efforts to make the colored men of his
State think i'll of those who were lately their
masters, and to cause them to regard with dis
trust everything which they might do or say
He is, however, of opinion that time will show
them where their true interests are, and that
their good sense will enable them to see that
neither their distant Northern friends, nor the
disreputable camp followers among the South
ern whites, who are SO jealous in their behalf
now, can be of as much value to them as the
true and consistent men of the South, with
whom thew were born and raised

For the Spectator.
The Lost Girl Found.

On Thursday the Sth inst, daughter Of 10
seph IT, Mayo, living on the Blue Ridge Noun
tain near Humpback rock, was sent by some Of
the family to drive off some cattle, to prevent
them from breaking in upon their corn-feld,
when she became bewildered and wandered OF,
and was not found until the evening Of the 9th
day, although the mountain was filled for days
by persons from the counties of Augusta and
Nelson The sympathies of the people of both
counties as far as heard, was enlisted in her be-
half, and young and old were out to find her,
Occasionally track could be found believed to
be hers-then spot where it was thought she
had lain, but could not see her until Friday
evening the 10th inst, when she was found
The preceding day and good part of the night
was very stormy, and on this day she says she
laid under rock which kept her entirely dry,
and dog came to her and remained with her
all day, and left after she fell asleep, but she
did not leave until the day she was found. A
few persons, some four or five, thought 1t ia
vourable time to look for her-the ground be-
ing quite wet, and believing, if alive, and she
moved out, that some trace could be SEEM
One of the party came upon her track, and
searched for her some time and gave it up-ln
the evening returned again, but finally gave up
the search, and leaving, happened to look be-
hind him, and saw her creeping after him,
scarcely able to walk, her clothes nearly torn
of, barefooted, her feet bleeding, and her legs
terribly bruised and lacerated with the brush
and rocks over which she had passed. Her
mother had become perfectly frantic with grief,
although she had not been permitted to have
any control over her, nor was she allowed to
either visit or speak to her, since she was three
months old, having on some frivolous pre-
text, on the part of her husband and his fami-
ly, been driven off and not permitted to see her
children it is said Still the mothers love, if
possible, was stronger than if she had always
been with her, and on the mother behalf the
sympathies of the community were aroused, as
well as for the child She is in her eleventh
year, and her condition when found was truly
pitiable-the stoutest heart would have beer
melted and his tears to flow. She was nearly
starved, nothing to eat for nine days, except {
few berries occasionally, and when found she
had fragments of her apron and dress tillec
with berries, which she had saved for fear O
not being able to procure any more, and 1t Il
not believed by those that found her, that SHE
would have survived forty-eight hours longer
She was almost a skeleton in apprenticeship
was taken home by the party that found her
and when she got in sight of her home, and sht
recognized it, though so feeble that she coulc
not stand alone, and voice very weak, she, tt
the surprise of all, raised yell so loud ant
piercing that it could have been heard at leas
mile, and Immediately was overcome will

Sound Views.

We are gratifed to find that the views which
we have entertained and expressed from the
passage of the Sherman Shellabarger bill to this
time are such as are now entertained and ex-
pressed by the ablest, wisest, and most patriot
ic men of the South A distinguished citizen
of Mississippi says:
THE most suicidal policy the South has been
guilty of, was for the papers to advocate the
acceptance of the act Of Congress on reconstruc-
ton. Every little country newspaper that was
for it, was quoted by the Radical prints, and
given forth as evidence Of the spirit of the
Southern people to accept it., and this at time
when the Radical party was fast losing ground
because of the passage of that bill" This gen.
tleman was (bear it in mind) and is, a strong
anti-secessionist and consistent Union man"

Masonic Temple at BridgeWater.

The cornerstone of the Masonic Temple at
Bridgewater, in Rockingham county, was laid,
with appropriate ceremonies, on Wednesday,
the Nth inst. Col. Chas. T. O'Ferrall, of this
place, acted as Chief Marshal of the procession.
The cornerstone was adjusted by District Dep
uty Grand Master, JOS T. Logan, Of Harrison
burg. Among others, as we learn from the
Register, the following articles were deposited
in the corner stone:
GA COPY of the Holy Bible, Masonic Text
Book, list of the officers and members of Eureka
Lodge, No. 1885, list of the town authorities of
Bridgewater, specimens of Confederate currency
and bonds, copy of the Richmond Enquirer
of recent date, copy of the ST. Louis Metho
dist Christian Advocate, and copies of the Rock
ingham Register of August and August Is,
1867. After the laying Of the cornerstone the
procession was re formed and marched to the
=. NJ Church, where appropriate and beauti-
full addresses were delivered by Col. Chas. L.
OFerrall and Rev. Samuel Kepler to an atten-
tive and appreciative auditory.
After the delivery of the addresses a large
number of the Masonic brethren partook of the
dinner prepared for the occasion by the ladies
of Bridgewater.
In the afternoon and evening, the Fair adj
vertised to be held for the benefit Of the Ma
sonic Temple was very literally patronized, the
Management realizing from that source and its
connections over $500"

Radical Prescription.

The County Court of Shenandoah county, Of
which the Radical, George Rye, is the Presi-
ding Justice, made the following order:
''For reasons appearing to the Court, it is
ordered until further orders, that the officers OF
this Court and those executing the orders, de-
crees and judgments Of the same, shall not avail
themselves Of the columns of the Shenandoah
Herald, a newspaper published in the town OF
Woodstock, Va, as medium of publication,
nor to procure any blanks at said Office at the
charge Of the county"
IF the people of that county have the spirit
which they should have, and which we have no
reason to doubt they do have, they will rally to
the support of the Herald. We have but little
doubt that the prescription order of that Court
will add hundreds of names to the subscription
list of that spirited journal. In this instance,
the proscriptive spirit of Radicalism like vault
ing ambition, has overleaped itself and fallen on
the other side.

and gorgeous description of the grand Masque-
rade and Fancy Ball at the Rockbridge Baths,

of only few extracts:
In the midst of this pleasant scene MIR. Il.

at home, by the general dispensation OF his
most pleasant attentions. The occasion gave
scope to his genius, and well did he measure up
to his opportunities It is always difficult to
meet the wishes of such an occasion, yet that
expectation was so fairly and fully complied by
MIR. NJ, that he won golden opinions; for al

more of Mr.. M. if the ladies did not praise him
so much"

Remarkable Phenomenon.

About three weeks ago, the wife of Mr.. Chas.
S. Miller, of Fairview, Bath county, Va, was
bitten on the leg by rattlesnake The inside
bark of the white walnut tree was applied to
the leg above the place bitten, and when taken
off the bark was marked and spotted just like
the rattlesnake. This, we learn, is the testi-
mony of Rev. Mr.. Houston and DIR. Hopkins,
of the Warm Springs Bath county, and other
persons who saw it. Remedies were admins
tered by physicians and the woman recovered.
The walnut bark had been applied before the
physicians arrived We do not know whether
it possesses any virtue or not.

Everybody in the South and all decent people
in the North, will rejoice that the President has
at length found courage toremove Phil. Sheridan
from the place which that upstart has so long dis
graced with his presence. A few more such re-
movals would exert a most wholesome and ben
efcial influence, .estore a sense of security and
confidence throughout the South, and teach
manners to class of executive officers who
stand in urgent need of some such schooling.
Perhaps King Sickles would derive profit from
decapitation, and then the three others, who
were not troubled, would behave themselves
better, execute judg ment in mercy, and eventual
ly learn that even ex-rebels possess some rights
that ought to be respected. -Lynchbug he
