On Tuesday night the sound OF fife and
drum drew a crowd to the vicinity OF the
Capitol, when it became known that the
district Republican (RadicaD Club would
hold a special called meeting in the Senate
Chamber for the purpose Of transacting im-
portant business" Thither the crowd re-
paired with no evil thought ito mar the
wave that rolled across their peaceful
breasts" Arriving at the hall the President
called the meeting to order, when there was
a series of resolutions offered, the purport
of which was to ''read the Rev. James
Lynch out of the party" and TO hang and
burn him In efigy. Several ''loyal Ameri-
can citizens supported the resolutions,
when Norris, one of the aforesaid "loyal"
suggested the propriety of at once proceed
ing to the execution of the design OF the
resolutions, and that the fun be had directly
In front of the residence Of Lynch. At this
juncture, Henry Mayson appeared upon the
scene and demanded that his voice should
be heard in the land, and his demand being
granted, he proceeded to denounce the whole
assembly rs lot of blackguards and disor-
ganized mob, and closed his remarks by say
ing, "As far as am concerned, leave you,
and hope / won't be Ku Kluxed before 1
get home"
This was a signal for general stampede,
and in less time than it takes to tell the story,
there was scarcely dozen persons remain
ing in the hall. Reaching the rotunda Of
the building. high words ensued and gem
ersl fisticuff was INDUCED in amongst the
opposing parties, but the Lynch party being
in the ascendency, their opponents were
very soon vanquished.
Policeman Charles Morgan, (colored) was
promptly on the scene, and arrested and
confined a number OF the beligerents in Jail,
but the Sheriff deeming the arrest unjust,
released all but two; these two were brought
before Justice Peyton Robinson, (colOred)
yesterday morning, who fined them s. each.

VIRGINIA FEMALE INSTITUTE. We
are in receipt of the twenty-fifth Annual
Register of the Virginia Female Institute.
A perusal OF its pages, its excellent rules
and regulations, and its thorough course of
studies, gives the key to the great success
which the Institute has attained In the
training and education ofyoung ladies' Its
eminent Principal, Rev. II. ii. Phillips, Is
assisted by no less than eighteen Professors
and teachers; and while the facilities OF the
the Institute are unsurpassed, its rates OF
charges are not so high AS TO alarm the pock-
cts of parents who are fortunate enough to
have daughters TO educate.
The Institute is beautifully located on an
enninence I'm Staunton, Va. The grounds
contain four acres exclusively devoted to
the purposes of the family, and securing
ample means of exercise. The site com
mands extensive views of bold mountain
scenery, convenient to the depot, etc., and
yet retired from the business portion Of the
town. Railroads, daily mails and the tcle-
graph afford easy access, and regular con-
nections with every part Of the country.
SO provcrbially hcalthful is this region,
that the State Legislature selected Staunton
as the location OF it's extensive Institutions
for the deaf and dumb and for the blind.
and also for its large establishment for the
insane.
The next session will begin on the 10th OF
September. For circulars, etc, giving de-
tailed information, address the Principal.

WORTHY OF IMITATION. I'VE had the
pleasure, a few days ago, Of seeing a splen
did gold watch awarded Mr.. Robert Myles.
engineer, by the Southern Railroad Asso-
citation, lesses Of the Mississippi Central
Railroad, for having run his locomotive the
greatest number OF miles, and Killed the
least number OF stock for six months, end
ing on the 3lst of March, 1869. Mr.. Myles
never lost a trip, run his train something
overtwenty thousand miles, beating his next
highest competitor fourteen hundred miles,
and only killing six head OF stock. When
it is considered that the destruction of stock
is great source of loss 10 all our Railroads,
besides the risk of human lie by the trains
being thrown Off the track In running over
stock, the example set by Col. Sam Tate
upon his Road cannot but be commended
and should be initiated by all our Railroads.

BE-. "Brownlowism" is fast
becoming asignifcant word in the
English language; but whether
history will insinuate that sach
an ism exalted or disgraced the
character of republic, we leave
to the intelligent reader to con-
lecture. The clergy, as mass,
are gentlemen, and hence are very
properly ashamed of Brownlow.
History will strongly incline to
regard him in a light not a whit

NASHVILLE, Jan. ga few days
since, while l was pricing some
books at an extensive house in.
this city, a very black negro came
in and began turning over the
leaves of some law books in a very.
familiar manner. He was elabo-
rately dressed, and to see him ev-
identity taking such an interest in
the dry technicalities of the law
was novelty itself, for there was
nothing in his look or his dress to
distinguish him from coal-heaver
or a loot black. The bookseller
and myself stood looking at him
in blank establishment for some
moments, but he paid no atten-
tion to US, and continued to glance
over the pages and bundle the
books with as much familiarity as
would an old librarian.
Something / can do for you to-
day, sir ?" asked the bookseller, in
a tone which, plainly showed that
he didn't know what else to say.
Eyes, sir ; I want to buy a bill
of law books, if we can agree on

mystery, as he laid Story on the
Constitution to one side.
