General RosECRANs's visit to the White
Sulphur Springs is the theme of thousand
pens. F0RNEY can't believe that "a Union
General of RosEcRANss standing will unite
with the Heading rebels" now at the White
Sulphur in "a plot to hoodwink his loyal
countryme",.. but suggests as the possible
object of his visit desire to consult with
prominent southern railroad-men relative to
a projected railroad enterprise of considera-
bic magnitude. This may be the object of
General RosEcEANs for aught that we know !;
but We see no insSropriety in " Union
Generals" making tut. effort to restore
real peace to his distracted country. For

Wharf.-The Richmond Corn and Flour
Exchange report in our paper of this morn
ing shows that over 10000 bushels of wheat
we're offered yesterday. Prime white
brought 500, and very good red, which,
according to the grading, is the next quality
to prime, sold for $3.50. Prime white corn
sold at SIPS. The highest price quoted
for prime oats was SIC. We note, however,
that quantity of prime was sold on prl-
vate terms, which we presume means
higher rates than Sic.
In Baltimore, on the Goth instant, the
offerings of wheat were heavy, but prime
and choice samples were scarce, and being
wanted for milling and seed purposes,
choice white realized s2.65, and prime
s2.75; choice red, s2.70; prime red, $3.50
to 80 .65 ; but these rates there were obtain
ed because the proportion of superior grades
on the market were comparatively small.
1t will be seen by tho comparison that
prime white wheat is but FIVE cents higher
in Baltimore than in Richmond. The
amount of low grades offered in the Balti-
more market was larger than the amount
Of good, and consequently prices favored
buyers. A considerable amount OF the
wheat offered in our market, also, lB Of

Judge Thomas.

We cannot too highly commend the indie
pendence of Judge THOMAS, of the Fairfax
circuit. We do not believe that any Judge
in Virginia has manifested a trucking
spirit or any disposition to lower the dig
nifty of the judicial office; but it has falien
to Judge THoMAs's lot to be compelled to
decide more cases which afforded some
temptation to this course than any other
circuit judge in the State. He is thorn
in the side of UNDERWOOD ; and it was no
doubt chiefly with view to get rid OF
Judge THOMAS that UNDERWOOD went to
Washington to convince the authorities that
the HOWARD amendment ought to be Al
lowed to operate in Virginia the exclusion
from Office of every man who is disquall-
fed under that amendment.

Repudia ton.

.sBrick" Pomeroy's new paper, the New
York Democrat, is out boldly for arepudia-
ton. In an editorial in its third number,
on the public debt, it said ;
ave sweep aside the interminable dis
EMISSIONS about the terms Of the bargain,
and ask simply, Docs justice to the people
require that the bargain be recognized 7 IL
We find that corrupt Congress ootained
the consent OF an ignorant, thoughtiess, ana
excited people to the erection OF that s,n,
pendous monument Of national folly calied
the national debt; if we find that the deo'
was corruptly contracted: that Its terms
are usurions: If we become convinced that
a national debt is the most powerful means
Of national corruption that it causes an
uneoual and unfair distribution OF pro-
nertv: that il creates mischievous, idle,
non.producing, untaxed, bonded aristo-
cracy: that it throws the burden of taxa
ton entirely upon the laboring class that
il hampers production and increases extra
vaCance that it makes millionaires on one
side and paupers on the other; and that IT
breeds crime as the hot sun breeds mag
gots if We find, in word, that national
debt is an unmitigated national curse, we
shall waste no time upon the written law
to discover it's letter or its spirit, but shall
appeal at once to the higher law Of national
welfare, which demands that so potent an
evil be at once abolished"
And that is just what the whole northern
people will say ere long. In 1866, when
the first vote on substituting greenbacks for
the present bank currency was taken IN
Congress, and the proposition defeated, we
predicted that it would succeed in the end.
It's success is now assured, since Senators
SHERMAN and MORTON of the Republican
party have come out for it. The only thing
left for the Democrats to do is to advocate
repudiation. BRICK leads the way. lie Is
an impudent fellow but such scheme
needs only some man TO propose 1t. There
will be enough TO vote for it when once 1t
has been brought before the public. For
our part, VIC are so well persuaded that the
rcoplc would lose more than they would
gain by Reputation that we would tain see
gold, creenbacks, and bonds on par; but
such is not to be the fate of our debt. 1t
will infallibly be repudiated. The signs Of
the times point to this result with uner-
ring persistency,

DlsTILLERs OF APPLE BRANDY.-The Pc
. 'ersourg Express reproduces that section of
8fhe new internal revenue tax law which re-
Yates to distillers of apple brandy, and ex-
presses the opinion that it amounts to alb
solute prohibition. So, according to its
terms, it does; but as Congress did not in
tend to prohibit persons from distilling
from their own fruit a few gallons for domes-
tic use, it is not probable that the law will be
so construed. Indeed, we have heard from
one Of tho country assessors the statement
that whilst every person wishing thus to
make few gallons of brandy for his own
use will be assessed according to law, the
Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
Mr.. HARLAN, has decided that all such will
be relieved from the payment of the tax
upon proper proof furnished to the Govern
ment officials that they intend to make none
for sale.

We publish this morning from the Round
Table calm and impartial article upon the
prospects of the campaign. The Bound
Table is a New York weekly that contains
articles of high character upon almost every
topic upon which either the few or the
many-the learned or the unlearned-al
their minds to be exercised. 1t has hit the
nail exactly upon the head in the article
which we reproduce. The campaign is
just what it declares it to be, and the result
as uncertain as it indicates it to be.

BRICK PoMERoY addressed one of the
Democratic associations of New York city
the other night. He seems to have met
with hearty reception. His speech was
warmly applauded. 1t was in his peculiar
vein. He represented himself as a Repub-
lican, and in that character described the
acts of the Radical party in cutting Ian
guage. BRICK will make himself felt in
New York. He will soon be more i'm

other paper in that city.

LOCAL MATTERS.
TEE GERMAN LUTHERAN SYNOD.
EASTERN DISTRICT.
SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

The session was opened yesterday with
singing, the reading of the thlrty-5ecoha
Psalm, and prayer.
ce-President Muller in the chair.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read, and declared approved.
The resignation of Rev. E. G.. w. heyl,
President of the District, rendered on We'd
nesday, was not accepted by the Synod.
On motion, it was resolved that the Synod
will at it's present session consider the pro,
priety of publishing an English edition OF
the Altenberg Bible.
1t was resolved that the forenoon sessions
be devoted to the discussion of doctrlnal
matters, and the afternoon sessions to busl-
ness. ;.
The Synod then proceeded to the discus
sion of theses offered by Professor Z. r. W.
Walthers. Subject: " The Eran9et.cdt
Lutheran Church the True Visible Church Of
God upon Edrth."
Thesis Is was then read and discussed.
Subject: The Evangelicdl Lutheran
Church strictly distinguishes bet.eeen f,nda-
mental and non-t1rldamental doctrines o.
SCRIPTURE" 1t holds that the fundamental
doctrine, without which no man can be
saved, is : "The Triune God, out of Infinite
love and mercy to fallen mankind, forgive0
every repenting sinner his sins for Christ's
sake alone, which forgiveness is resolved
in the Word and accepted by faith" Pri-
mary dogma's are such, without the know
ledge of which no one can be saved; secon-
dary dogmas are such of which one may be
ignorant without injuring the foundation
Of faith, yet which may not be denied or
opposed. ,.
After some time spent in the discussion
of these theses, the Synod adjourned to
meet at half-past o'clock this morning.

Mis-. SrRRATT's CAsE.-1t will turn out
to be true in the end, no doubt, that Mrs.
SuRRATT wasn't hung by anybody's order.
Hear what General HUNTER says:
"My oath and military law preclude my
making known my vote in this case; but
can with propriety state that my name
headed the list of members of the commits
sion recommending Mrs. Surratt to the
mercy of the President, and that / have
always looked with utter contempt on the
execution of the poor woman, excusing at
the same time thousands of rebel men who
so much more richly deserved hanging.
Respectfully, DAVID HUNTER,
United States Army.
Washington, August 26, 1868"
The Generals English is not unexcep-
tionable. His language means that he ex-
cuses the thousands of rebels alluded to
but he means that those who hung Mrs.
SuREATT thus excused them.
But the question now is, If neither Gene
raj HUNTER, who was the president of the
military commission, nor anybody else,
ordered the execution of Mrs. SURRATT,
how did it happen that she was hung!

General Grant and the Exchange of
Prisoners,

Prisoners.
In order to break the force of the late
letter of Judge OUID in regard to the OBJ
structions placed by General GRANT in the
way Of the exchange Of prisoners during
the last years of the recent civil war, the
New York Tribune reproduces q letter writ
ten by the Judge, while the exchange was
in progress, to General WISDER at Rich
mond, and italiciseS the following para
graph Of it;
The arrangement ! haze made o7orkS
largely in our favor. We get rid Of q set Of
miserable ,cretcheS, and receive some Of the
best material euer SGlr."
This, says the Tribune, "proves conclu-
"sivcly that the Confederate protfcrs of
exchange were honestly accepted by our
Government, and that while we returned
southern prisoners in health and strength
ave received in their place unfortunate
wretches, whom cruelty and starvation had
reduced almost to the door of DEATH"
The Tribune totally misapprehends or mis-
represents the purport OF the language IL
quotes. The phrase miserable wretches :"
as applied to the Yankees, and the phrase
chest material" as applied to our soldiers,
had both of them reference only to the nIortsle
of the men, and not to their physical con-
dition. The Tribune must pick its flint and
try again. Judge GUILD is not easily caught
mapping, we can inform Mr.. GREELEY, who
will find in none of the letters which the
Judge has submitted to the public any
statements inconsistent with those contained
in his last.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, !
August 26, 1868.
The mission Of General Rosecrans to this
point makes it centre Of attention for the
whole country at this time. Whether or
not it is vested with any Importance re-
mains to be seen. The idea is certainly
pleasing one, and from the character of
men engaged in consultation we cannot but
hope that some good may be effected by it.
Rumors as to the object of General Rose
crans's visit are varied, but it is certain
that he comes on political GRAND. There
is, moreover, but little doubt that he comes
with the approval and at the instigation of
the most prominent political leaders at the
North. The objects of the mission are
already we'll known. The consultations
between the prominent men here have pro-
ceeded very amicably. AS to the subject
matter of discussion, but little is known,
and the public will have to rely in this par
ticular upon the fertile imaginations of the
