which are attached to the alarm. It was

performed all these operations with re-

WASHINGTON. September q, 1868.


The great Radical assemblage Of hosts
takes place in Philadelphia on Thursday
and Friday Of this week. On the display
of multitudes, thousands of whom Will not
vote in Pennsylvania, and lavish expen-
diture of money among those who do vote
in that State, they expect to carry the cleo
tion on two weeks from Tuesday. In the
mean time the Democrats are working vlgor-
ously. and do not send gloomy reports to
their friends in this city. Some of the pro-
minent Pennsylvania Democrats are, IN
fact, thoroughly sanguine Of success. There
will be strong, earnest, energetic Work IN
the cause during the next two weeks Gen
eral Mcclellan is expected in the State be-
fore long, after his reception at New York,
and it may readily be imagined that the
Conservative masses will turn out to give
him cordial greeting.
The President had call last week from
two or three Virginia gentlemen. and quite
a long conversation took place on political
topics, particularly with reference to the
part which the State of Virginia will take
in the election. The President is under
stood to have expressed himself emphati-
cally in favor of the vote being cast, and
then, should the possibility of it deciding
the contest become fact, question would
arise vastly important in the history of the
country. --..-
General Sibley, who is the Bureau COM
missioner for Georgia, has reported by tele-
graph to General Howard in this city that
he intends making full investigation of
the recent riot at Camilla. 1t is looked for
here with considerable interest, in view OF
the various accounts which have been made
of that affair. 90. 49,
The Indian office will undoubtedly be
transferred to the War Department next
winter. 1t is thought that at least trial
of settling Indian difficulties through the
War Department should be made. This
alteration will effect very material change
in the Indian policy of the Government.
The War Department officials generally
think the best way to rid the Government
of Indian troubles is to open thorough
war and completely subjugate the red men.

BANKRUPT DEoIsIoN.-It has been re-
Gently decided that an assignment BY y an an
insolyent of his effects for the benefit OF ell
his creditors, who afterwards goes into oa y
ruptcy, is void under, the .bankrup. la a,st
and that a person making such assignment
is not entitled to discharge under the pro- pro,
n;s;ons of the act. This ruling has been
sdonted as law in the bankrupt court here.
The above paragraph, written for our
local column, does not fairly state what the
bankrupt law requires. That law does not
allow a fraudulent assignment, nor one IN
tended to prevent q bankrupt's assets from
coming into the hands of his assignee nor
one not made for the equal benefit OF all
his creditors. But there must always be I. a
faint of fraud or collision, or illegal pre-
ference of creditors, to vitiate an assign
ment. We have no room to discuss the
3; question, however. Wesimply wish to pre-
vent misap prehensions of the law. r--.-->

Virginia Educat ton.

We take the occasion presented by the
season of the opening Of the schools of this
State again to say word OF Virginia
schools. These are exceedingly numerous,
and under the direction of persons Of very
scholarly attainments, and who, taken as
body, are not surpassed anywhere for high
moral character, and for the elevated prin-
ciples of honor and virtue with which they
Undue the minds of youth entrusted to their
guidance and guardianship. The Virginia
education is most complete. The curriculum
in the University is thorough, and the stand
ard of scholarship in that institution is the
highest in the Union. The boosted schools OF
Yale and Harvard are greatly inferior to
it. At the University most Of the teachers
in the State have graduated, and they are
amongst the best scholars in the land.
Whether we consider the knowledge or
the moral principles impaired, the Virginia
schools are not excelled. To these we
should never fail to add the SCOTLAND ply
steal influences here bearing upon the stu
dent-the genial climate, the halioweo
and noble "reminiscences, which soi.en
and refine the sentiments, making the"
"more mild and traetable to man, ano
ennoble the aspirations and ambition OF
youth. It is therefore by no means an ex-
trayagant or mere egotistical opinion that
V;rs;nia is the State Of all most favorable
TO the education of youth, and where the
youthful mind is most surely fired with
those manly and honorable impulses which
shine brightest and achieve the most in the
great battle of life. No less in female than
in male education are our institutions to be
approved. The womanly dignity and gen.
tie virtues Of the daughters of Virginia are
inculcated by both precept and example in
the female schools, while they are no less
admirable as efficient disseminators Of
knowledge. ~
We invite attention to the long list OF
schools advertised and that have been adj
vertised in the Dispatch, and commend
them to our own and other people as every
n way worthy Of confidence and support.

he said that he had received q letter from
gentleman in Staunton informing him that
IN future that gentleman "should seno MS
-four to Baltimore vid Orange and Aie1an,
dria railroad, in consequence Of the forced
;nsnection in Richmond" The letter OF
Mr.. Whitcomb went on to say, AS the
cost from Richmond is Soc, and from dor-
louisville 81 .O8 you can judge how power
ful the motive is. AS the -four, after leaS-
inc Gordonsville, is carried on through caIs
n baltimore, he gets clear of the Virginia
insnection law. Let something be done 10

LOCAL MATTERS.

rr,arnY IN NEW KENT-A DOUBLE
rInnrp--THE MuRpERERs STILL At LARGE:
One OF those tragedies which so shock ana
startle a community, and which, happily
for our people; have been! of very rare ~, "
currence in Virginia, took place at o ,la.e
hour Saturday afternoon in New. H :SIa
county. The particulars of this horrloie
affair. so far as we have been able to optain
them. are substantially as follows:
Mrs. Stewart, formerly Miss hockh-
day. was living on farm near Ethan, on
the Pamunkey river and opposite Tes ~
Point known as "Taylor's." She haq NIB

Mrs. Stewart had just that day reoeiveu a |"
sum of money for q ship-load OF Wy ~

fitting for their purpose. i, +he
A short time before sunset, ~hen .n'
hands were all absent at their Dusiheoo'
and no male around to prevent the cohsum
nation of their crime, they went to the nouse'
and after numbering and robbing Mrs. oeem y.
art of lit is supposedly about $500, they SCI
fire to the building, and the cnarIeu 80:

the ruins. The murderers, not con.en ~
with their fiendish atrocities, proceeded 20
the woods where John Baker, their mex
victim, was at work and alone. rearing g
to meet him in open fight they n nitn
on him as they approached him, WIZ. h
deadly aim, for he fell, shot throu Y
the BODY and legs. Intending, as in j, the h
first instance, to hide all traces OF thel ~
horrible deed from human eyes, they t aeG
the legs of the murdered man together, ano
fastening to them gun barrel, they threw
the corpse into the river, hoping no douo,
that it would be forever hidden from morta
eve. But "murder will out -; and OF
Sunday not only the body Of this man wa wa
found floating in the river, but the remains
Of the murdered lady were raked iron

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.-The Order OF
knights of Pythias,'' recently extended
to this city, has already initiated num-
Der of gentlemen as members. Old Do
minion Lodge, No. 4, of this Order, was
organized by the installation of its officers
at the Masonic Hall on Saturday evening
last. The ceremony took place in the pre-
sence of the Supreme Grand Chancellor,
Samuel Read, and Supreme Recording
Scribe, Clarence NJ. Barton, and Deputy
Grand Chancellor, H. C. 6. Hartman. The
following are the officers Venerable Patri-
arch, E. Z. Tompkins ; Worthy Chancellor,
F.P. Turner Vice Chancellor, L. L. Bass;
Guide, W. R.. Teller; Recording Scribe, S.
B. Danforth; Banker, J. c. Davis; Finan-
cial Scribe, W. E. Binford; Inner Steward,
G.. w. Warren Outer Steward, J. II. Wei
siger.
The number of limitations which followed
the formation of the Lodge gives promise
of much prosperity. The proceedings OF
the evening were concluded with fine
supper prepared by Mr.. F. NJ. Sherry.
Representatives of other Lodges were
present, and the humor of the occasion was
enlivened by many speeches and toasts.
The grand officers left for Washington Sun

No slur was intended upon Professor TYN-
DALI oy this paper in the recent reference
made to his lecture on materialism." If
the Language employed justified the infer
ence drawn by our friend of the Native
.Virgaaian, it failed to convey our mean
ing. The two extracts from Professor
T. and Commodore Maury, were considered
by us as presenting the same conclusion,
although there was fervor and piety in
the views Of the Commodore not contained
in the expressions of the Professor. Yet
there was certainly nothing in what the
latter said that would warrant the conclu-
sion that he was wanting in elevated views
of the benefcence and inscrutableness Of
the great First Cause. ~ ,,.',

r,s BAD Day Near at Hand.

~. save long considered the day Of the
p,sa;dentia, election day Of evil. Some
If the fathers Of the country thought the
Rsnuh,;o would finally fall to pieces from
tha SHOCK o: this periodical election. They
Aid not think It could survive for any long
ner;od the bitter and violent conflicts OF
narties to it,. Indeed, it has sorely trieo
the strength of the Government; ou' 50
MANY defects in its Consultation have oeen
of late years developed that it is doubtful
whe,her there are not others more periioue
e. tho country than these rapidly recurring
presidential canvasses. For instance, the
usurpstions Of Congress and its power TO
.rhvert the character and principles OF the
government have appeared since the war
in q light which has directed the public ap-
nrebension to that body as the source. OF
greatest danger.
But the. Presidential canvass Is SUM
GENTLY, fraught with evil to make us all
wish that the Presidential term we're greatly
prolonged. The present canvass is the
cause of great deal of injury to this ma
ton. 1t has postponed the restoration OF
the Union and continued the prostratlon OF
the southern, States to the general dlsad-
vantage of the national interests. 1t was
necessary to ensure q Radical triumph-lf
tbat could be done at all-that the anti
Radical sentiment of the South should be
paralyzed by the Acknowledgement of white
people, and it was equally necessary Tor
the accomplishment of the same object tha !,
the NEGROES should all be enfranchlsed anu
put upon an equality with the whites %
a1So wes Il essential for their success AT the
,rosent national canvass that the passions
~ the war. amidst which and of which
Radicalism was born, should be Kept awe
and vigorous.
Nothing could be more disastrous to the
public prosperity and the public peace
than all these measures for the malntaln-
ance of Radical predominance in the 90
yernment. It was apparent long since 10
obseryant men that the Radical party ola
not mean to forego the employment OF each
and all of them without scruple ana WIN
out honesty with all possible efficiency.
So that we may readily see that there
has not been and is not now hope that
we may be in any degree relieved from OPP
preston or from the violent sectional pre-
iudices which the most atrocious falsehoods
and exaggeration of facts can intame until
the election is over. What then to expect
will depend on circumstances. We all hope
and trust that SEYMOUR will be chosen Out
whoever is there will be JOY and relief
when the election is over. The day is one
ever to be dreaded. In the best of times II
most seriously interfered with business,
and very much affected the disposition OF
capital. In the present case it has afflicted
the land with untold evils, and thousands OF
honest men are praying that they may
never see another. Being the most inJurl-
Gus of all that have occurred, there will be
general joy when it is over, and compare
tive relief from the disgust, irritation, and
distrust which it causes.

PETERSBURG, September %, 1865

PETERSBURG, September Is, 1868.
Your correspondent "W. j." deserves
the thanks not only Of every owner of
"ten" acres, but of every person who owns
q single acre, or hundred, or more. Such
valuable additions to our horticultural lite
nature cannot fail to excite spirit of i'm
provement in every reader who possesses
any taste for the culture of fruit-and in
deed to inspire him with it, even though he
was destitute Of it before. A few persons
have long seen that tide-water Virginia has
advantages as a great market-garden en-
coast; and ii is such writer's as "W. j."
who will ultimately bring about great re-
volution in our system of management, ma
king it many fold more profitable than under
the old routine of corn, wheat, tobacco, and
cotton. But above all things, perhaps,
fruits of most kinds-and small fruits espe-
cially-require high cultivation !; and if this
is given, "ten acres" or even less, affords
space enough on which to bestow large
amount of profitable investment.
The public mind appears to be now fast
tending to that state when information on
horticultural subjects will be properly ap-
preciated and acted on. Nothing can be
more significant Of this fact than the ex-
tensive nurseries which have recently
sprung up, particularly in the neighbor-
hood of Richmond. When such immense
stock as they possess come to be fully in re-
quest, it will be of most favorable omen as
signalling new starting-point in our in
dustrial pursuits. ..s. ....
In late letter I expressed the fear that
the Japan clover might not mature its seeds
in this climate but I am now gratifed in
being able to state that there is no founda-
tion for such fear. Ny stock Of this grass,
consisting only of two or three short rows
in the garden, came into flower about the
middle of this month, and the seeds are
now forming in their receptacles. Though
there is only single flower at each joint,
followed by but one seed, yet the joints both
on the main stem and branches are 80
numerous that the aggregate number of
seeds on single plant are. very many. I
am of opinion, therefore, that this species
Of clover may prove as invaluable here as
farther South, and that it may effect an i'm
portant agency in renovating our poor
lands. 1t is at least worthy of trial by our
farmers.
While our tobacco manufacturers sus-
pended operations lately large number of
their hands went to Richmond to seek en-
ployment. As they have not returned it is
presumed they were successful in finding
it; for now, when the factories are re-
Stunning work, it is difficult to obtain skilled
labor.
Out of eleven persons who were up be-
fore the Mayor this morning fines were i'm
posed on seven, and in default OF payment
some Of them were committed to Jail to
await further disposition of their cases.
