VIRGINIA POLITICS.
Tina Senatorial Campaign on the Increase.

WAsHNGToN, September 25.-The in
terest in the Virginia Senatorial campaign
increases daily, and although the contest
develops but little excitement, the fact
that the Legislature meets so soon as the
9Th of next month makes the subject one
OF considerable importance. The opinion
that the Legislature will elect a Senator
is expressed here, and the press is known
to favor an election. Gov. Walker will
not be candidate for Senator, and the
present indications seem to be that Lieut..
Gov. Lewis will be chosen as one Senator,
and Gen. Robert Williams the other. The
latter, however, declines to enter the
contest personally, and remains at his
duties in the War Department. His per-
sonal strength is very great, and his
friends very active.

And the yellow half moon large and low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets nom heir sleep,
And / gain the cove with pushing prov,
And quench its speed in the slushy sand.

Three fields to cross TIL a farm appears
A tap at the pane, the quicl, sharp scratell

And q voice less loud Chro' It's Joys and Tears

And the need OF "a world Ui men for me.

bell eve that this question belongs, Of
right, to the States, and it Is change in
the very nature and framework Of our
Government to take it away from the
States and confer it upon Congress. In
the name, then, of the States, object to
this amendment. On behalf of our home
Government, object to it. We are safest
when we are protected by a Govern
ment near by us, where the public
officers are responsible directly to
the people, What does Congress any
longer care for the viii of the people, il
they. can carry their measures, policies,
and purposes? They do not care any more
what the people believe, or what the Peo-
pie want. They are ready to make pledges
to you in advance of the election, and dis
regard them as soon as the election is
over. This Fifteenth Amendment shows
this.

THE MOTHERS DREAM.

I'd a dream Tonight
As l fell asleep,
OIL the touching sight
Makes me still TO weep:
OF my little lad,
Gone to leave me- sad,
Ave, the child ! had,
But was not to keep.
As in heaven high,
Tmy child did seek,
There, in train, came by
Children fair and meek,
Each in lily white,
With a lamp alighti
Each was clear to sight,
But they did not speak.
Then, a little sad,
Came my child in turn,
But the lamp he had,
OH it did not burn:
lie; to cfeal my doubt,
said, half turned about,
" Your tears put it out;
Mother, never mourn "

We have been at considerable trOu-
BILE to obtain a correct idea of the
stock now held by the mills, and find
that, although several of the largest
corporations are holding six, seven or
eight weeks supply, the great body
of the spinners are lightly stocked.
The total held by them, therefore on
the 1st of September, was less than we
supposed, being about 10000 bales,
against 81, 900 bales last year. Taking
the stock, then, on the 1st of Septem=
Der, at these figures, we see that the
actual consumption of all the mills,
after deducting the increase held this
wear over last year 10000 bales,
would be about g6S, 900 bales, against
$50, 600 bales last year, leaving for the
Northern mills about SSS, 900 bales
against 800, 900 bales last year.
The new year begins with a de-
ficieney in the visible supply of cotton
for this country and Europe to the
extent of $50, 900 bales compared with
| the amount on hand at the same pc
riOd of last year. Hence to permit of
the same consumption the coming
season as during the season which has
Just closed, the cotton production of
| the world must be increased to that
extent. But this year the average
weekly consumption of Great Britain
| has been about 5000 bales less than
| during the same period of fS67-8,
while the Continent and the United
States have probably together also
consumed about 5000 bales lees per
week. If, therefore, the mills this
season return to the consumption of
lS67-8, 800, 900 bales additional will be
needed, or in all an Increased prOdue-
| ton of Gao, 600 bales, without allowing
any accumulation of. stock. We shall
undoubtedly be able to make good a
part of this deficiency; but the extent
Of our crop cannot yet be definitely
stated.
