Virginia Legislature.

RICHMOND, October 6. In the
House of Representatives to day, two
resolutions were introduced that the
Iron Clad Oath be now administered
to the members and temporary off i
GERS of the House, which were refer
red to the proper committee when it
shall be appointed.
A protest adopted by the Republi-
can caucus last night was presented.
1t is framed with a view to answering
Attorney General Hoar's argument
and protest against any acts of the
Legislature of this session. The mem
bers not having taken the Iron Clad
Oath, and the body being therefore
illegal, 1t was referred.
Z The following nominations were
made for Speaker: Stepheviah Tur-
ner, of Rappahanock; S. L. Maddox,
of Chesterfield, and John B. Cren-
shaw, of Richmond.
Turner, nominated by the Con
servatives, received 81 votes; Maddox,
nominated by the Wells Republicans,
obtained Al votes, and Mr.. Crenshaw
votes. Turner was declared elected.
In the discussion the point was
pressed that Turner now has an ap
plication before Congress for the re-
moval of his political disabilities, and
it was explained that, though not able
to take the test oath, he was not dis
qualified by the Fourteenth Amend
ment.
J. G. Bigger, the old incumbent,
was elected Clerk.
In the Senate the same protest of the
Republican caucus was presented and
a resolution adopted laying it on the
table, on the ground that it was man
ifestly an effort to obstruct the recon
struction acts, and in direct violation
of the Interpretation of said acts by
the Administration.
A resolution was adopted informing
! the Commanding General of the or
ganizalion of the Senate.
Adjourned.

rHE wEALrH OF TILE soUrH,

The present year in the South is al
most the frst that it has had since the
war began, of material. advance. But
even the measurably large crops Of the
current season are rather indexes Of
future growth and progress, than salts
factory evidences Of immediate pros
perity. That will come /; if not the next
year, why, then, the year after that, or,
possibly, even later. Among the most
hopeful signs is the disintegration Of
the thousand aud ten thousand acre
plantations, aud their sub-division into
small farms, as in the North. The waste
Of tillable land under the old pro.
slavery system Of holding immense
tracts, was something frightful; and
this waste of land extended to every
thing else in the agricultural blunders
Of the South. The thrifty, hardy and
Industrious element of labor which
Northern emigration is Introducing into
the late Confederacy, is already showing
results approximating to those that have
attended its presence in u W farm
ing communities, and it only remains
for that element to increase in strength
and breadth to reclaim all the desolated
fields of the South, and to evolve out OIL
them a source of wealth, the greatness
Of which will be felt throughout the
whole country. As for Southern com
merce and manufactures, they are al
yet almost ~undeYeloped, but with thu
immense mineral Of tho coun
try, and its bouu.iful water supply

THE MUsKET WITH WHICH
RROWNELL SHOT JACKSON.

It will be remembered that at the
time Of the Ellsworth tragedy, at the
beginning of the late rebellion, jackson,
Ellsworth's assassin, was shot by Frank
Brownell, Of this city. Some time af-
ter the occurrence, Brownell was pro-
NOTED to a position in the regular army.
On severing his connection with bis old
regiment, he sought by every means
TO retain the musket with which jack
son had been shot, but the captain in
command refused 10 part with it, and it
was transferred to. n Of the soldiers
remaining in the company. Brownell,
feeling that the musket ought properly
to belong to him, kept track OF it, trac-
ing it after the disbandmens of the
Ellsworth Zousves, to a private in the
regular army, who bore it with him
over the Plains and 10 many conflicts
with the Indians. Brownell was con-
stantly maneuvering to regain posses
sion of the relic, and at last a short
time ago, BY the assistance Of an army
friend, il was returned to his possession.
There is no doubt Of its identity.
Brownell's initials, cut upon the stock
years ago, are sun tnere, anu otner
marks and indications fully as identify
ing. On Saturday last Mr.. Brownell
proceeded to Albany and deposited the
musket in the State Department, where
the coat and hat Of Ellsworth are now
retained. The battle-scarred musket will
remain, q memento Of a terrible tragedy
and q souvenir of The bold ayeuger.
10 this connection we would state q
circumstance in regard to tho shooting
Of Ellsworth, not generally known.
Mr.. Browuell states that he saw jack
son just as be was preparing to FIRE the
fatal shot ut the breast Of Ellsworth.
Brownell Immediately turued to shoot
Jackson, but the sabre bayonet on his
musket prevented celebrity Of the move.

Had Brownell's musket been without o

SoSE idea of the cotton crop Of the
South may be formed from the fact that
in q parish of Louisiana, that OF
Teusas, 1900 cotton piekers are wanted,
and if this whole number, or a greater
portion thereof, q be obtained, the
parish in question will yield 10000

NoRrHwARD THE CouRsE OF EMPIRE
seems determined to take its way, the
oft quoted apothegm Of Bishop Berksly
to the contrary notwithstanding. Our
Canadian friends, who have been long
perturbed on the question of separation
from Great Britain, and annexation to
the United States, refuse to be sooshed
back into loyalty to the Crown by the
presence even Of Prince ArthG. In the
path and in the wake OF that adolescent
sprig of loyalty, the Canadians arc dis
cussing the feasibility of hauling down
the cross Of ST. George, and hosting in
its stead the Stars and Stripes. At a
meeting in Quebec, strong annexation
resolutions were passed, and speeches
advocating the measures were made by
leading men. Slowly, but surely, Can
ada is drifting into the Union. England
does not care to prevent the consumma-
ton, and we can well afford to wait just
as we are doing.

SINGULAR CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
"A case of mistaken identity occurred
on ono Of the principal thoroughfares of
this city last evening, which shows how
easy men may be deceived by appear
auces, especially when pursuing q fugi-
tive daughter. 1t seems that q certain
gentleman, on the shady side of 40,
residing in the southern part Of the city,
has o daughter, q beautiful, blooming
lass, about l6 years Of age. Among her
many personal attractions she numbers
a beautiful head Of hair, her silkcn
tresses rivaling FURNISHED gold. So
choice n flower could not fail to attract
attention from tho sterner sex, and it is
only fair to state that this young lady
had her share of beaux, aud favored one
more than tho rest. The paternal head
of the family objected to the a~ssiduity
with which this young man piled his
attentions and finally forbade any fur.
Their intercourse between the loving
twain. The maiden was determined to
be wooed, and stole away from home to
enjoy promenades with the object Of her
fathers hate. This euragsd the old
gentleman to such an extent that he
procured a club and went after the
couple. Now there happens to DO an.
other young lady who possesses a SIM
liar head Of birthplace of purchase
unknown-and she also has q beau.
Last evening this couple were prom
enading the streets, in blissful Ignorance
Of the near proximity Of m enraged
father, when suddenly the young man
was attacked and beaten. After several
blows had been struck the young lady
screamed and tainted, when the father
found he had made q mistake-it was
not his daughter nor her gallant. After
apologising to oil parties concerned, he
was told to 60 on his way and sin no
more. Moral-Don't judge by the color
of the hair, for many are the stores
where tresses of all shades can be pur-
chased.-S. +. Bulletin, 28h.
