l1EPEAcHNENT.-The Washington CLron-
sc5e Of Saturday states that letter has been
received in that city from Hon. James f.
Wilson, Of Iowa, chairman of the judiciary
committee, relative to the statement of Judge
Lawrence in tie matter of impeachment
Dir. Wilson says, according to this authority,
that he has expressed no opinion or the sub
ject Of Impeachment outside of the commit
tec-room. 1t Is known that lie has not been
IN Washington since the adjournment of Con-
grcss when the committee refused to present
articles Of impeachment upon the ground of
insuiIicicncy Of evidence, and therefore, it is
fairly inferred that Mr.. Wilson is not respou>
slb!e for the position in which he has been
placed Of now iavoring impeachment.

Stock Within the Hast week or two we
have noticed some of the finest cattle passing
through our town, that we have seen since
the war. Greeubrier has generally furnished
the best specimens. \ fine lot of sheep from
Giles county were driven to Dufield's on
Tuesday, for shipment to Baltimore The
owner informed US that he had been thirty
six days in reaching this point, having left
Giles on the 9th of September. He also in
formed US that he had left 500 stock sheep
and l35 stock cattle, at the farm of Mr. Thos
E. Gold, in Clarke county, which he would
sell on very reasonable terms

Hampshire railroad on Tuesday night by
which the locomotive Manning with its tender.
was thrown from the track, but few wards

embankment, which at that point is about
twelve or fourteen feet deep. Lees Switch
is within two miles Of Leesburg. and the
injured engine was on its way to this city
with the regular passenger train, when two
cows obstructed the track, and running over
them caused the accident. The baggage and
passenger cars fortunately remained on the
track, and no one on them was hurt James
CrOcket, the engineer. had his hand and arm
burnt and his leg cut, but hisiDjuries are very
slight. Mr.. James Peacock, proprietor of a
line of stages connecting with the road, was
riding on the engine, and was slightly hurt,
as was also Mr.. ". II. Carlin, the conductor
of the train.-ALc.caRdria Gazette.

STOVE HOUsE.-The moderation of the
weather, has caused US to fail to invite the
attention of our readers to the large and va
ried assortment OF Stoves offered by Messrs.
MILLER & SMITH the present season. The
stock is so ample, and prices so reasonable
for the times, that those in want of anything
in the stove line, need but call and examine
in order to be suited. These gentlemen hav-
ing so successfully introduced the Diamond
Parlor," have procured the Oriental" so as
to save the economists of labor the trouble of
making but one fire for the winter. OF
cooking or ordinary wood and coal stoves, an
endless variety on hand.

SPEECH or EX- GovEENoR VISIBLE
C'ce To I"J'"dHS.-At the OIenIng Of the
Virginia State Horticultural and PomoIori
cal Exhibition at Richmond on Tuesday nigh:.
ex Governor Wise delivered an address. 10 a
large assembly gathered from all parts of the
State. lie dwelt at much length upon the
present condition Of the South aud the polit-
zeal situation. lie declared the military re-
construction act a. the source Cf most OF the
evils of which the South now complains. aud
argued that the civil authorities and the civil
courts were overridden by epaulc;ied officers,
and that State rights were entirely ignored
He then took mp the subject Of agriculture
and horticulture.
After speaking Of the favorable Geographic
cal position OF the State Of Yirgiuia-bcr soil,
climate, mineral and other resources he ad-
vIsed the landhoidcrs Of the State to give
every encouragement 20 their ovn white labor,
and the young men Of the State to arply
themselves to the study Of agriculture as a
science, 20 that they save the real estate of
their fathers and keep sacred the alters Of
their own birthplaces and homes 1t IS far
more honorable to do this, lie said. than to
skHik into professions By the back door and
become PettifOggiHg lawyers and quack doc
tors who practice their arts to rob clients or
Kill patients, or to seek places in c!crkshipq,
VI ~ u'NHIHIhS' OF running. OF standing ard
waiting a; the beck and call Of somebody cIse's
business. 1t is much more respectable. and
certainly more independent. lie appealed to
the manly, proud. brave and strong men Of
the State, who had neither means nor settled
pursuit, to adopt agriculture as a business,
and concluded his address by an appeal to the
young men Of the State 10 labor earnestly and
faithfully, never to despair, AID they to night
have the assurance that better aBd happier
days for them were in the near future.

THE SEASON for the last ten days or a fort
night has been remarkable. 1t has appeared
more Ike midsummer, than those dreary
days of autumn of which the poet speaks as
the ''saddest Of the year" Some are inclined
to believe we are having our Indian summer,
bat this suggestion We think will soon vanish
before a continued rain and cold north east,
ers. The present is most suspicious weather
for outdoor labor, and the prudent will use it
to the most advantage.

RDThe Baltimore American publishes
the following dispatch from Chicago, Oct. 8,
to the Missouri Democrat, the republican or
gan in St. Louis:-
An authentic report says that the represen-
tative of the Lincoln estate found on deposit
in one of the Departments ut Washington the
sum of seveuty-tive thousand dollars III gov
crnment securities to the credit of the mar
tyred President. When Mr.. Lincoln left
Springfield for Washington, he informed his
intimate friends that his Springfield property
was worth sixteen thousand dollars AS
twenty Eve thousand dollars was voted to Mrs
Lincoln by Congress, it is safe to say that she
had over one hundred thousand dollars two
years ago. Her conduct has greatly distress
ed her intimate friends and relatives in this
city, and the most charitable construction
that they can put upon her strange course is
that she is insane, which fear is the case.
The New York Herald has opened sub
scription for the benefit Of Mrs. Lincoln, aud
humorizes the following:-
Man and wife, one dollar.
&. S. Bond, three cents.
Benedict one cent postage stamp.
Ebert y. Wood, three cents.
Sunday School teacher, one cent.
Mudsitl, two cent revenue stamp.
o. w. e., ten cents.
Omega, one cent nicklc,
U. Il. D., twenty cents.

Some Of the Radical papers are attribu-
ting their late calamites to the general apathy
Of the party. The loyal people were gener-
ally indifferent to the result. After the
'.Bladensburg races" in the last war with
Great Britain, one of the Maryland militia,
who retired so vigorously on that occasion,
was asked the cause of the inglorious frustra-
ton. 'Plainest thing in the world" he re-
piled, sour people di0a't seem to take no
interest"

CAUTION! CAUTIONI!

49,
TT has come to our knowledge that per-
IL sons from tho country and city, order
ing that GREAT MEDICINE, the QUEEN'S
DELIGHT, have their orders filled by an
other medicine, called Epping's Sarsapa-
rilla. This is pernicious habit on the
part of any druggist or apothecary to
make such substitutions, and it must re-
fleet upon their pharmaceutical knowledge
to say to their customers that they arc the
same, when it is known they do not know
the constituents of tho medicine Queens
Delight, as prepared by Heinitsh.
This is to caution the people that "HEI-
NITSH'S QUEENS DELIGHT" is an en-
tirely different articlc-a new pharmaceu-
teal product and combination of roots and
gums. and is the only medicine that per-
forms SO many extraordinary cures among
the people. Over 600 bottles have been
sold at our store in less than eleven
months, and the demand increasing from
all parts of the country.
Purchasers should be careful to ask for
"Helnitsh's Queens Delight" This is the
name. Please remember t-"Queen's De-
light" For sale by
