RICHMOND, Jan. .. For two days past a
conference of some of the leading men in the
State has been in session here, attended by
Hon. A. II. II. Stuart, of Stanton, Hon.

present conservative candidate for Attorney
General, Wyndham Robertson, formerly acting
Governor of the State, George w. Boiling,
James j. Johnson, a former Whig Senator.
Frank Grufiin, Gen. John Echolis, w. L. Stu
therlin and others. Last night after midnight
they agreed on a preamble and resolutions
which set forth, that while the people of Vir-
ginia do not believe that the negroes in their
uneducated condition are as yet tit for suffrage,
yet in view of the expression of public opinion
In the recent national election, and in the hope
OF restoring harmony and union, they are will
ing to accept universal suffrage coupled with
universal amnesty.
A committe of nine was appointed to visit
Washington and urge Congress to legislate so
as to secure these to the people Of the State.
The committe is composed of Messrs, A. H.
II. Stuart, w. Robertson, Jr., Baldwin,
James Nelson, W. f. Sutherin, J. L. Marye,
Jr., ]. L. Johnson and W. L. Owen.
A resolution was adopted recommending the
people of the State to hold convention on

port of the committee and arrange for the can

Grant and Mcclellan.

One of the correspondents at Washington
details a recent conversation with Gen.
Grant. The following reference to Me
Clelan is creditable to the President elect :;
In answer to the inquiry about the news
paper story that he had offered cabinet
portfolio to General Mcclellan, Gen. Grant
said: s'Therc is no truth in the report that
| have offered Gen. Mcclellan a place ID
my cabinet After moments reflection
he added: 'I do not say that | have not
thought of doing it, and if do it know Of
no one who has right to object When
am inaugurated | shall be President Of the
United States-not the head OF a party. |
shall be the executive officer OF the whole
people-not Of a mere majority. McClel
Ian, continued Gen. Grant, is an able sol
der, good citizen, and pure man The
army OF the Potomac was the best organ
lied, the best equipped, and the best dsol-
plined army the world ever saw For ac-
complishing this at least the country is in-
debted to Mcclellan. Another remarkable
fact is that, while to a large extent, McClel-
Ian lost the confidence of the country, he
never lost the confidence of his army.

that if he had had favorable winds on his

Who Ate Roger Williams?
Ieel's Fourteen Weeks in Chemistry

Steel's ssFourteen Weeks in Chemistry
says:
''The truth that animal matter passes
from the animal back to the vegetable, and
from the vegetable to the animal kingdom
again, received curious illustration not
long since.
''For the purpose Of erecting a suitable
monument to the memory Of Roger Will
liams, the founder of Rhode Island, his pri-
vate burying ground was searched for the
graves of himself and wife. 1t was found
that everything had passed into oblivion.
The shape of the cotfins could only be trac-
ed by black line OF carbonaceous matter.
The rusting hinges and nails, and round
wooden knot, alone remained in one grave,
while single lock Of braided hair was
found in the other. Near the grave stood
an apple tree. This had sent down two
main roots into the very presence OF the
co1fined dead. The large root, pushing its
way to the precise spot occupied by the
skull of Roger Williams, had made turn
as if passing round it, and followed the di-
rection Of the back bone to the hips. Here
it divided into two branches, sending one
along each leg to the heels, when both turn
ed upward to the toes. One of these roots
formed a slight crook at the knee, which
made the whole bear striking resemblance
to the human form. There were the graves
but their occupants had disappeared; the
bones even had vanished. There stood the
thlef-the guilty apple tree-caught in the
very act Of robbery The spoliaton was
complete. The organic matter, the flesh,
the bones Of Roger Williams had passed
into an apple tree. The elements had been
absorbed by the roots, transmitted into
woody tibres, which could be burned as fuel,
or carved into ornaments, and bloomed in
to fragrant blossoms, which delighted the
eye Of the passer by, and scattered the
sweetest perfume OF spring; more than
this-had been converted into luscious
fruit, which, from year to year, had been
gathered and eaten. How pertinent then
is the question, ''Who ate Roger Williams? p

A Sad Story of the Sea.

1t is difficult to imagine a sadder story or
one better calculated to rouse a Just indig-
nation, than that related before the High
Court in Edinburgh, Scotland. The barest
statement of facts is sufficient to draw tears,
or rouse decent men into fever OF indig-
nation. Last April, five lads Of Greenoch
three Of them quite children, resolved in a
passing caprice, to enjoy q pleasure sail,
and slowed themselves on the Arran, ship
bound for Quebec. When they were fairly
at sea they revealed themselves, to the
great aud not unjust Indignation Of the mas
ter, Robert Watt, and his mate, James
Kerr, who avenged themselves for a month
by inhicting a curious variety OF tortures
All seemed to have been half starved, and
one was repeatedly tiogged, soused in ice
cold water, and ordered to stand naked in
the Arctic cold, at the torecastle head. BY
May the Arran was off the coast Of New
foundland, from fifteen to twenty miles
from shore, imbedded in the ice, and the
expelled from the ship. Two Of them were
only eleven and twelve years Of age, half
clad, with no shoes, and ont Of condition
from continued hunger, while one, ga nice
wee bit Of u fellow, but not strong says
his mother, was splitting blood.
The ice was most unsafe the shore was
scarcely visible, and the Arran was lnll of
provisions but, no matter, the boys must
go, and crying and frightened, they went.
Three OF them were saved almost by mir
acle, getting 50 far on the ice that they
were seen from the shore but the two lit
tie shoeless lads perished One fell into
the water almost at starting, the ''ice Just
closed over him, and he was drowned
The other, McGlnnea, the youngest OF all,
walked on for two hours or more, and then
unable 10 exert himself, with his feet cut
and his legs swollen, and that dreary waste
of ice all round, he sat down to die. His
companions did what they could to urge
him on, but the lad could only sob, still, as
they testify, "they heard him greetin when
they a long way off, and so, still in sight
of the ship froze to death.
If ever there was murder done on earth,
that lad was murdered, but the Edinburgh
jury found that the Captain had q repu:a
ton for being ''kind and gentle indeed,
that reputation had originally tempted the
lads-and they added a recommendation to
mercy in their verdict of culpable homicide,
and Lord Justice Clark, who had charged
dead against the Captain sentenced him to
eighteen months Imprisonment, the most
astounding failure of justice in a British
court it has ever been our lot to record, the
more astounding because Watts only de-
fence, that he urged the boys on to the ice
in the full expectation that they would re-
turn, was exposed by the learned Judge
himself

A $50 900 Bond Robbery took place III
New York on Saturday, Jan. ID. The
bonds belonged to Bierworth d Rochall,
shipping merchants, g. Pine street, ana
We're in u tin box with other valuable pa
pers. The box had been brought from the
bank and placed on a desk in the inner Of
flee. Soon alterward three men called and
engaged those in the outer office in conver-
sation relative to shipping matters. This
conversation lasted from ten to fifteen min
utes. Having obtained the desired intor-
nation, the men departed Within hall au
hour of their departure, woman called and
enqulred the price OF a passage to Europe.
She was given the rates of passage, and ia
turn went away. SO far as known these
were the only strangers that called, up to
three o'clock p. NJ. AT the last mentioned
hour it was discovered that the box and
contents had been stolen. 1t is believed
that one of the three men mentioned above
stole the box while his companions engaged
the employees in the outer office in conver-
sation. But little is known OF their per
sonal appearance, and the chance of arrest
ing the thieves or recovering the yauables
is very slim, indeed.
The mod"s opermdi in this case is SINH
lar to that which is supposed to have been
pursued in the late robbery Of a tin box,
with bonds and securities 10 Il large amount,
from the Pequonnock Bank, in Connecticut.
The business seems to have been reduced to
u ''science," and those who engage in it,
become most skillful and daring adopts.

editor, died a few years since, while en-

years. Charles B. Moore, brother of the

Our Immediate predecessor, to whose du-

appeared in the columns of the Free Press.
Thus only one beside oursef Of the six who
constituted the Journal force at that time is

the journal, was then frequent visitor AT
the Journal office, and its columns some
times contained wtticism or neat bit OF
poetry from his pen. The printing office
seemed to have an attraction tor him which
he did not care to resist. These few years,
so short to look back upon, are indeed filled
with strange memories.
