lDEN WEDDING. We DONE often hear

A GOLDEN WEDDING. We dom often hear
Of Golden Weddings" in this section,
although they have become frequent in other
sections Of the country, where circumstances
permit. Mr.. Daniel Cameron, our venerable
citizen, aud his wife, celebrated their golden
wedding Saturday week, the Oath Of October,
that day being the 50;h anniversary of their
weddiug--the day upon which they agreed to
join hearts and hands, for better or for worse,
to share each others joys and woes. Upon the
same day. Mr.. G. had attained theripe old age
OF II years. and although the frosts of seventy
seven years have whitened his locks. ne yet en-
joys extraordinary good health, as we'll as his
aged companion. What is also remarkable, at
the celebration Of the anniversary of their wed
ding, all their children were present, except
one who died when an infant but twelve months
DID, But soon they will be called from the stage
Of action, to enter that Haven OF Eternal Rest,
prepared for those who wish to rest from their
Iabors, and where there viii beno more sorrow,
but where peace, happiness and pleasure, will
reign supreme. - Shephero{stoaoa Register.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS. There is always a
dulless of business in times OF great political
excitement, like campaigntor the Presidency
During the last two months there has been
nothing DOING as merchants and manutac-
turers express it. 1t is likely, however, that
there will now be an encouraging revival IN
trade. Attention will be turned away from the
field of politics and the ordinary duties of all
classes will again receive full attention. We
earnestly hope there will be an improvement
in business matters. --Bah. Commercial.

Wendell Phillips is urging on to extreme
measures. He demands an impeachment Of
President johnson, the removal of the present
u. S. officers in New Orleans; the re-instate-
ment of Gen. Sheridan in that city; the re
vision and amendment" of the reconstruction
laws; and the recognition OF the right OF the

everywhere. And he declares that lit is not
within the power of Gen. Gr0ut, if it be his
disposition, to materially obstruct the progress
Radical reformation in national politics" So,
General Grant will perceive that the ultras

JAMES RIVER 4 KANAwHA CANAL.-The
thirty fourth annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the James River and Kauawha Canal
Company was held in Richmond yesterday
The financial condition Of the company IS not
a prosperous one aud it will doubtless be q
long time before it will be called paying con-
cern;" but they have great expectations for
the future, nevertheless. One of these is the
completion of this water line to the Ohio river.
But the completion of this canal Is an under
taking of such stupendous magnitude that to
hope for it, without the assistance of the gen
era government, is hardly possible, meanwhile
the company, can scarcely do more than sus-
tanned its existence. This year they have been
peculiarly unfortunate. The rains washed
their banks considerablyin the spring, and a
few months ago, their acQuduct over Tuckahoe
Creek gave way. This has been rebuilt at a
heavy cost, and the loss of revenue from the
interruption in trade, thus caused must have
been large. For forty-one days navigation was
suspended on account of the ice. Altogether,
much as every one desires the success of this
undertaking, which has been on trial so many
years, its best friends cannot be so blind as not
to see that it is now but dragging itself along.

TOBACCO CULTURE IN VIRGINIA. From In
formation received from the principal tobacco
growing regions of this State and North Caro-
Ina, it is painfully apparent that the cultiva-
ton of our great staple, tobacco, is so rapidly
declining that it will probably be wholly discon-
tinued because of its appropriateness. Some
nIanters in Pittsylvania and Halifax counties
Virginia, and Caswell, North Carolina, who
last season planted immense crops of this sta

crops, and will plant no more hereafter until it

PRINcEroN COLLEGE, McCosh, the
new President of Princeton College, held the
following language in his late address, which
was received with applause
''rhis college had had religious character
in times past, and [ shall aim to have this
character continued | would place no theo-
logical professor over the college, but would
place the pure evangel of Jesus Christ. All of
the community, whether white or black, what.
ever be his political or religious views, should
have the privileges OF this institution.
We advise DIR. McCosh to study the views
set forth by that eminent man OF God, DR..
Alexander, who was eminent in carrying for
ward Princeton to an enviable glory for schol-
arship as we'll as piety.
The Norfolk Yirginian well says that this
notion of equality is somewhat novel In the
halls of Princeton, and when the Doctor at
tempts its application he will find that he has
