these efforts are not without their
proper reward.

Mr.. EDITOR: i would write to

plan OF occasionally publishing one
or two arithmetical problems, such
as would interest Teachers and stu
dents, and calling for solutions and
answers.
Say for instance that an invitation
be given to Teachers and others for
such arithmetical questions, together
with solution and answer accom-
panying each question, which answer
need not be published for two or
three weeks; during which time So
lutions be solicited from others.

below the surface, in the rock, and is
supposed to exist in large quantities.

The specimen sent US is thought to
be lead ore, and is so pronounced by
those who have critically examined
it. We hope it may prove such on a
more car eful examination.
We shall watch the further develop

iron ore, our hills are much more val
liable than they have heretofore had

Neither Congress- nor General Grant had
any adequate idea of the intolerably proscript

it on us, until the Committee brought them

dence before r". investigation ordered by
General Stoneman. III, statements # is
claimed, contradict each other :. yay fatal
to the credibillty Of either.
Col. B., also proved that there was bus one
commitment of the Northern Church, and
that was the Elders son.
Washington letter says During the ex-
animation Mr.. Beck asked if the Northern
church had any congregations writing to take
possession of these churches ?"
"Mr. Phelps replied that they had no con-
gregations at present, but if they could get
possession Of the churches, they had strong
hopes of being able to build up congregations J"
Mr.. Phelps complained Of social and bust
ness ostracism Of Union men in Virginia
1t is our opinion that if Mr. Phelps hopes
of eternal salvation depended on his building
up congregation with white or black in this
place, his chances are very slim, indeed, even
if he had fifty churches to begin with.

1t is rather strange after the consideration
displayed towards the friends of this movement
by men Of all shades of opinion here, to re-
ceivc the Virginia papers and find some OF
them tecming with abuse Of the motives and
sometimes Of the persons Of the Committee.
If these red hot gentlemen have wish that

would wreck the State; and, if they succeed
