his support in protecting the employees and
property OF the company. The Mayor rcspon-
dcd to the call by dispatching messenger to
the Chic" Of Police, instruct!ng him to furnish

At St, Louis, on the 10th, al least 5,OOO per-
sons participated in the serenade to Gen. Blair,
who, after stating that he was neither dlscour-
aged nor disn.uycd hy the results OF the recent

Missouri lie spoke as follows:
''AlY FELLOW. CITIZENS: I am the candidate

the great cause which we ali have at heart. t.
But, my fellow citizens, it will be no sacrifice
to me, or, rather, it will be work Of pleasure
to me, to surrender that position whenever by
so doing I can add one vote to strengthen the
Democracy in this State, or in other States. -

land this, my fellow. citizens, brings me to
alIude to that rumor which is in our midst to-

for the Presidency and the Vice Presidency
have siguifed their willingness to decline IN be-

to say is that both candidates have always been,

EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE. We regret
to be called upon to record one OF the most
terrible accidents that has occurred in this sec.
ton for many years The engine Washington,
attached to one of the special trains which left
here yesterday afternoon, conveying the dele
gates from the Norfolk Convention to their
homes, exploded near Elk Greek Bridge, on
the Tennessee road, three miles west of Forest
Depot. instantly killing Jerome Stout, the en-
gineer, and William Beckham, the fireman.
The train was running at the rate of thirteen
miles an hour at the time Of the accident, and
the force OF explosion was so tremendous as
to greatly damage the cars, two Of which we're
thrown from the track, but most fortunately
no person on board of them was seriously in
ured, though several were considerably shocked
by the conclusion.
The cause of the explosion is unknown but

time since condemned as unsafe

Beckham leaves wife and two children, who
reside in this city, and upon whom the ntelIi-

ELECTORAL Y oTE OF VIRGINIA. -Und

ELECTORAL VoTE OF VIRGINIA. Under the
depression following the unsuccessful efforts Of
the Democracy to reverse the Radical majortlea
in the States which voted last Tuesday, many
are anxious to know what Virginia ought to do
in regard to the Presidential election. Moth
ing In our judgment the part Of wisdom just
now, is ''maatcry inactivity. 1t is very clear,
indeed that we can 10 nothing which will prac-
tically effect the polItictI situation, while we
will lose no rights, or at least forfeit none, by
an inactivity which military duress imposes
upon us. Besides, it is now too late to organ
ize the machinery for holding an election, even
if to do SO at all without the cooperation OF
the military authorities were feasible, which
we are satisfied upon investigation, it is not
It is also too late to put an electoral ticket IN
the field, and canvass the State sufficiently to
bring out the voters. But if we had plenty Of
time, we are now satisfied it would not be Wise
to 20 through the farce of holding an election,
since the electors we might choose would never
obtain the executives certificate of election,
without which their functions could not be
exerciscd.-Rich. Enquirer.

GOLD FIELDS IN AFRICA The u. s. Con-
sui at Cape Town, South Africa, has informed
the government Of an extraordinary discovery
ofgold in Africa, and Of the excitement prevail
ing 10 consequence. Thousands are now flock
ing there in search of u new California, " the
Consul writes, though the distance from the
British colony at the Cape Of Good Hope to
the gold fields is over & thousand miles and
though it costs hundred and fifty to two hun
dred dollars in specie to get there. There are
two auriIerous DISTRICTS and it Is said The gold
fields arc immense" From the position OF
these districts on the map, as indicated by the
Consul's communication, they are outside the
limits of any civilized or organized government,
but lie near the northern border Of the Dutch
Trans Vaal republic The President Of that
republic, it is reported, has annexed, by pro-
clamation, IL portion Of the aurlterOus region,
while the British flag flies over The settlements
Of the miners from Cape Colony. The speci-
mems of gold received at Cape Town were very
rich and the whole colony was in state OF the
widest excitement This new gold region Is
the same in which valuable diamonds we're
found some time ago. Though the distance by
land from Cape Town is over a thousand miles
it is not more than two or three hundred miles
from the eastern coast OF Africa The gold was
discovered by Iicrr Carl Mauch German

PRETTY GooD.-MaDy incidents of an anus
ing character happened during the late war;
which have never found their way into print,
but which are too good to be lost. The follow
ing, We believe, has not heretofore met the
public eye:
Wash. Petty, noted bushwhaakcr, whilst
foraging in southwest Missouri with his fol-
lowers rode up to farmhouse whose owner
was known to have ample provisions for man
and beast but whose politics were best known to
himself Petty and his men being dressed in
Federal uniform, were mistaken by the farmer
fer jayhawkers.
He began to declare most positively that he
was Union man; God never made better.
Petty said, we are hunting your sort; we are
rebel bushwhackers' Whereupon the farmer
changed his tactics and declared just as posi-
lively that he was Southern man. Look
here, old man, said Petty, you don't know to
which side we belong, and you must take one
side or the other, and stick to it; it you happen
to take the wrong side we'll kill YOU This
staggered the man considerably, but after
thinking minute, he said: We'll, | said at
the start was Union man, and Ill stick to it
If it is q ID lie
He was left to enjoy his peculiar opinions
without further molestation.
