Location of Heaven.

We clip the following from the Scientific
American, of the 18th instant;
Theological writers have always been
puzzled to fix upon any very definite idea
i'll regard to the geographical so to speak
location of heaven. The Christian faith
associates it as final resting place for re-
deemed souls, and preachers have drawn
from it the lesson that revelation, for wise
reasons, had yelled it in obscurity. But
science is progressive. It digs deep into
the bowels of the earth, and scars away
into regions of infinite space so that at last
we have a philosopher sufficiently bold
who undertakes to remove the perplexity,
and solve ali our doubts upon this sublime
subject.
Instead of being q matter of philosophic
and Christian speculation, we are now pro-
vided with scientific solution of the whole
difficulty by d. Mortimer, NJ. D.-mot D.
d. According to his theory, ''there is a
vast globe, or world, far asthin, from the
surrounding photosphere of ethereal fire,
which all denominate the sun, which, globe
is estimated to be at least five hundred
thousand miles in diameter" DR.. Morti-
mer states that he has brought divine re-
violation to bear on this vast central globe,
and is plainly convinced sfllat the globe
thus discerned is the Heavenly Empire
wherein the righteous from this earth find
their future home" Not content to have
made the discovery of the exact locality of
"our Heaven, the Doctor has gone into a
mathematical calculation Of the number of
minutes it requires for the spirits flight
from earth to this celestial abode, for all of
which information doubling and believing
souls will forever thank the learned doctor.

RALEIGH T. DANIEL.

The la5ors of this gentleman during
the late CANVASS were simply herculean.
For six weeks he devoted his whole
time day and night to the cause. Body
and brain were alike taxed to their ut
most. Never in his whole life was his
strong and admirably trained intellect
brought so fully and so powerfully into
play, for never before was the State IN
such extreme peril. Mr.. Daniel met
that peril as every true son of Virginia
met it-deiiantly-and, warming to the
work, gave his whole being to the strug-
gle.s A Chairman of the Executive
Committee, he was in position to do
more than other men, and it is but bare
truth.t say that he performed his ar
acknowledgements task as perhaps
no other man in. Virginia could have
performed it. No detail was too trivial
for him, no question too involved orim-
portant TO discomfort him. His great
legal knowledge was. Of infinite, service
on many trying and delicate occasions.
The manual labor he endured in letter
writing alone was beyond the powers
of any but the. most robust men. But
allEthis iwork oof head and heart and
hand was done by Mr.. Daniel with the
ease and efficiency which a large and
generous nature thoroughly aroused is
capable of.9sIt does seem to us that
services so important deserve special
recognition at the handsof virginlans.

GEN. CANBY's PROPOSITION FOR CALL.
ING TOGETHER THE VIRGINIA LEGIs-
LATURE.

learn to-day, from source in Rich
mond entitled to credit, that General
Candy has sent circulars to all the
members of the Legislature elect asking
each of them il they can qualify by sub
scribing to the iron-clad oath. 1T he
ascertains there is a quorum OF both
Houses thus qualified he will issue his
proclamation in about fifteen days an
nouncing the result of the election and
calling the Legislature together to ratl-
fy the Fifteenth Amendment and elect
United States Senators. The members
unable to qualify would in this case re-
main absent until the Constitution had
been ratified by Congress and the State
admitted, when they would present
themselves and qualify under the State
Constitution, from which the test oath
has been eXpunged. Should there not :,
however, be found quorum able to
qualify by taking the test oath, the
Commanding Genera! will then defer
issuing his PROCLAMATION, but will Or
der new elections to fill the seats which
will be declared vacant by reason OF in
ability to qualify as above. 1t is sup
posed there will be a quorum of both
houses and that the ultras will have a
majority on joint ballot, which, in that
event, would enable them TO elect Unit
ed States Senators. Governor Wells
and l.. IL. Chandler, both defeated
Radical aspirants, would doubtless in
this case be sent to the Senate, and one
of the main fruits of the victory recent
iy achieved would, by this artful ar

VANTAGE GROUND.

1t IS evident that the Walker party
occupy an enviable position. Repub-
lican but not Radical, Conservative but
not Democratic, the Walker party is in
position rather to grant than to re-
ceive favors-to accept volunteers but
not enlist in any organization. The
astuteeye s of them. Y. Herald have
discovered in the Walker party, as it
nowsstands, the nucleus of anew Re-
publican party, whose influence in the
next Presidential election may be con-
trolling. This is no news to Virginians.
They discern the signs OF the times
much more clearly than the Herald
does. .Virginian leaders. were. never
slow to perceive where the balance of
power lies. Severe. trials have taught
them to be cautious. Long-continued
suffering and prescription have made
them wary. Cool heads and firm hands
are ut the helm. Tile shoals are we'll
known, the breakers in full view. The
hopes of the Herald and other malig-
nants are to be signally falsitied. The
Walker legislature is as little likely to
play,into the hands of the Northern
Democracy as Walker himselfis to yield
to the demands of the New England
Radicals. We occupy high ground,
know it's advantages thoroughly and
intend to maintain them. The pre-
tended assaults upon our loyalty are
but poorly disguised efforts at an ALI
ance. Palmer overtures will soon be
made. Weawait them calmly. Gen.
era1 Grant, too, is looking on quietly.

UNPRECEDENTED YIELD OF WHEAT.

DR.. G. j. Powell of Orange county,
seeded last fall bushels of wheat on
IL acres of land, together with 1000
pounds of gllano. The land, says the
Fredericksburg Herald, acas prepared
qrih remarkable care, and had not q peb-
BILE large as walnut left or it. DR..
Powell has cut and stacked the crop.
There are seven stacks Of this wheat,
which several compent judges say will
thrash cut an average of thirty bushels
each. If so, this will give 210 bushels
to the acre and a-half. DR.. Powell,
himself, thinks the yield will not be
less than $50 bushels This. shows
what through cultivation will do. One
acre really we'll titled will yield more
than five half titled. Every farmer
knows this yet every faamer persists in
scratching as many acres as he possibly
can.

fearful accidental the White 5 llphur
Springs on Tuesday night last by fall
ing from window Ill the third story
Of the hotel building to the brick pave
ment below, a distance Of about forty
feet. The accident occurred between
II and o'clock. The Major says that
he remembers retiring to his room and
diyesting himself of his coat and vest,
that afterwards he rested upon his bed
and fell asleep; that he recolects moth
ing more until he was falling, wher.
his body struck against the stoop on
the wall. After that he was uncOn-
sclous. He was found a short time af-
forwards, and medical aid was soon OBJ
tanned. Strange to say, not bone,
vas broken His sufierings were
necessarily, very great, and but Slight
hopes were at first entertained Of his
recovery. On Wednesday and Thurs
day nights he rested we'll, and hopes
are entertained that he may ultimate
ly recover.
