From the Richmond Wing. I

A rumor is floating about that the
Baltimore and OHIO railroad is taking
an interest in our election, and is scat
tering fees from Norfolk to the foot Of
the Alleghanies. We know nothing of
the truth Of the rumor But it is, an
established fact that a lawyer in West
Virginia took the stump a-ainst county
subscriptions to the Chesapeake and
Ohio road, and afterwards stated that
he did 50 as the feed attorney of this
patriotic corporation. What has been,
may be, and people had as well keep
their eyes and ears open. We are very
willing that Baltimore may build as
many roads in Virginia as she chooses
the more the better-but we beg that
she will not aid in subjecting us to the
intoIcrable thraldom OF carpet-baggers
and negroes, The announcement that
Wells is in market is superhuous-Mr
Garrett knew that long ago. and, we
suppose, knows he is not worth buying.

From the Richmond Enauirer. l

The trouble with great many high
strung people is to take the world as
they find ito reconcile their lives to
the existence Of the jars and jolts which
beset the hapless sQjourner in this I'M
ceremonious earthly environment. In
periods Of sunshine, and under happy
stars, the Bourbons and the Jacobites
find life pleasant enough, and enjoy most
kcenly running the machinery of society
to their own exclusive Qualification but
when the shock of substerranean con-
vulslons crumbes into rubbish the
pleasant structures which they have
ordained, and the wild waves of revolu-
ton begin to pour in their fiery currents,
they draw off in naughty disgust, and
leave the canaille tosgovern the dirty
earth. Now it isn't worth while to be
too good for any satisfaction which the
surface may assume. Our duty lies
right amid those events which occupy
our day-and we must fret our hour
upon that stage which God in his proyi-
dence calls us to act on. II there are
evils in the world, we must grapple with
oii0tbJ uiu IL eVCll ulSSGiS ILfduo our
privileges, we must strive to drive them
away.
In 1867 we were SO lofty that we
surrendered the State Convention to
Bayne and Underwood, and re, eved for
our (want off pains the impending con-
stitution. In the Valley alone some five
thousand whites refused to register, and
when the election came off two thousand
whites who had registered, in the county
of Augusta, refused to vote, while Rock
bridge county was carried by the Radi-
calls, and Frederick county was only
carried for the whites by some 80 ma
5~'its' and taking the whole State, there
were about forty-tve thousand 1ogio-
tered voters who neglected to go to the
polls. All might have been averted
but we had our philosophers who stood
OF the turrets "principle," and looked
down in disdainful neutrality on the
disastrous struggle.

Hss~ The Richmond Dispatch says
The nomination of DIR. w. w. Wing,
late Postmaster of Norfolk, for represent
tative in Congress from the Norfolk dis
trict, has met with the very warm
approval of the Conservative press. He
is very calm and sagacious gentleman,
and would make a safe representative.
DR.. Wing is what is understood to be a
Union man, but be is liberalist, and
wants to see harmony and the restora-
ton ofal men to their rights as free
men. He runs on the Walker platform.

On the suD5ect of cooperation with

in labor among freedmen, the following
was unanimously adopted:
That inasmuch as correspondence of
the Secretary of the Committee on Freed
men of the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States
Of America with the Secretary of Sus-
tenation Of our church, has developed no
practical mode of cooperation between
the two churches in their efforts to
evangelize the freedmen, this General
Assembly is not prepared to take any
steps contemplating the proposed con-
current action.
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
Resolved, That the Secretary of Sus-
tenation is hereby instructed to COM
municate the foregoing resolution to the
Committee on Freedmen of the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States of America.

says the Tarboro Southerner, that a
large number of experienced farmers of
Frederick county, Maryland, intend
moving permanently to North Carolina
in the comlag Fall. 1t is their purpose
to settle somewhere between Whining
ton and Weldon, on the line of that
road, and go largely into truck and fruit
raising. Our Informant states that at
least two hundred will most certainly
emigrate to this State, and that several
of the most experienced will visit our
section IN short time for the purpose of
making observations and prospecting
generally.
