ORGANIZATION.

The Importance OF thorough organization
of all the force which is to oppose the triumph
of Radicalism in the impending struggle in this
State cannot be over estimated.
The first thing, of course, TO be done, IS to
see that every white man who is entitled to re-
gister should do so, at the next registration,
which is to occur before the vote OF the State
upon the adoption or rejection Of Its new Con-
stitution, takes place.
Thousands of Virginia's citizens, for one rea-
son or another, refused or neglected to register
preparatory to the election OF delegates to the
Constitutional Convention.
The result Of their negligence was that the
Convention fell into the hands of the State S
worst enemies. Fortunately there is yet time
to repair their error-there is yet a place lett
for repentance-and if they would redeem their
birthright, let them not be again guilty OF the
folly-We had almost said erime-of falling to
qualify themselves to vote on the question OF
the Constitution.
The result of the last registration in Richmond
shows that we have the game in our own hands,
and can only lose it by our folly and inefticlency
At the last election in Richmond the majority
of blacks was reduced from 900 to so, A similar
result viii attend the next registration over the
whole State If we exert ourselves.
The vote for State officers and members of
Congress will occur at the same time that the
vote upon the Constitution is taken-and in our
opinion it is advisable in order to perfect and
moJilise our organizatiQn-to give it vitality,
energy and enthusiasm, that the nominations
for these various offices should be made as early
as practicable:
Every district county and town in the State
| should be thoroughly canvassed, and this will
only be done effectually by candidates. s.-Peters-
| burg Erpress.

DEATH. We have never read anything more
beautiful than the following from the pen of

There is but a breath of air and beat of

And in the brief interval of painful and awful
suspense, while we feel that death is present
with u.s. that we are powerless, and He, all
powerful, and the faint pulsations, here is but
the prelude of endless life hereafter, we feel in
the midst of the stunning calamity about to be-
fall u.s. that the earth has no compensating good
to mitigate the severity of our loss. But there
to sof. en- its intenseness When the good and
lovely die. the memory of their good deeds. like
the moon beams on the stormy sea, light up our
dal kened hearts and lends to the surrounding
gloom beauty SO sad, so sweet, that we would
not, if we could, dispel the darkness that en-
virons it.

The committee base representation upon the
registration prior to the election OF members 70

whites did not register. This knowledge In
duced them TO depart from the universal basis
of representation -populataon-w which Is the on
ly true one. But that would not have suoserv-
ed their purpose of appropriating, Virginia to
Radicalism by trick and fraud. The failures to
register were very numerous in the parts. 0f the
State chiefly populated bg whites, while the
negroes en- aa,,sse were registered, and their
strength much increased beyond their real num-
hers by frauds. That registration as the basis,
inevitably gives the advantage to the Radicals
Yet this is not enough; for they proceed to
make the result still more certain by their ap-
portionment of delegates to voters, They pro-
vide delegate for every eighteen hundred vo-
ters +: but where there are nine hundred votes
over that number in county, they give two
delegates and counties that have only nane hun-
dred uotes are entitled to one delegate. All OF
which throws strength into the scale OF the small
negro predominating counties of Eastern Vlr-

We have not thought proper to publish this
renort as It is vet to be debated. We only now

FIRE1 MATTERS. chemical fire
engine is the latest invention in Bos-
ton. The apparatus is similar to the
ordinary fire engine, having two up
right cylinders acting directly upon
an air chamber between them. Each
cylinder works in tank by itself.
The tanks are provided with sieves at
the top-one for carbonic acid in q
dry state. aud another at the oppo-
site end for an alkaline substance.
Through these sieves the water is
poured, dissolving the substances
contained in them as it passes into
the tanks. The pump pistons are
connected with oss-beam, as on
the ordinary engine, so that both
cylinders act together in supplying
the air chamber, in which the union
of the two liquids produces efferves.
cence and forms the carbonic acid
gas, the presence of which is we'll
known, in burning building will at
once extinguish fire, no matter how
far it has spread or how fercely it
burns. At the trial of one of the
engines in Boston, few days ago,
with two-inch cylinders, and tank
capacity Of one barrel, pile of fifty
tar barrels, spread over with shavings.
was set on fire and allowed to burn
four minutes, and the fire was extin-
guished in one minute by the engine,
playing through sixty feet of hose,
and using only ten gallons of water.
