CHURCH NoTEs-REvIvALs, SUNDAY
SCHOOL MEETINGS, AND SPECIAL SER.
yICEs.-NIcetings arc being held regularly
every night at Trinity (Mcthodis) church,
Rev. J. \. Proctor pastor. We learn that
these meetings have been well attended,
and a great deal of interest manifested.
Several conversions occurred last week, and
the prospect is good for very prosperous
and successful meeting. Services will be
held every night during the present week,
and the pastor will have the aid of the city
ministers. Rev. DR.. J. G. Granbery will
preach tomorrow night, and DR.. Edwards
on some other occasion.
A mass meeting Of the Methodist Sun
day-School Society was held at Rockets
church on Sunday afternoon last at half
past 3 o'clock. Asa Snyder, Esq, prcsi-
dent, conducted the exercises. The meet
ing was very large and enthusiastic one.
Short addresses were made by the Presi-
dent and Messrs. Walford, Mullen, Gibson,
and others, which we're very interesting.
The question of the Sunday-school teacher $
work, responsibility, and reward, was the
topic introduced by the President.
This meeting was decidedly q great oc-
casion for the cause in this locality, and
will encourage and stimulate all engaged.
The singing was done principally by the
scholars Of the Rockets school, and was
well done. The school has been recently
rc6rganized, and has entered on u new and
prosperous career.
The series of meetings held under Bap-
tist auspices at Four-Mile Creek church
closed on last Sunday, when twenty per-
sons-the fruit of the revival-wcre bap-
tized by Rev. A. E. Dickinson, of Rich
mond.
A meeting has been commenced at Lau-
rel Hill (Methodist) church, in the same
county, under the preaching of Rev. Mr..
Vanderslice. There will be services at this
church every night this week.
Mr.. Vanderslice has just concluded n
protracted meeting at Willis's, in the lower
end Of Henrico. During this meeting forty
seven persons professed conversion. Last
Sunday morning Mr.. Vanderslice baptized
seventeen persons, ten of whom preferred
immersion, and received the ordinance in
that manner. Seventy persons have pro-
fessed conversion at meetings held by this
minister on his present circuit.

LOCAL MATTERS.

GOVERNOR WALKER AT THE CAPITAL
WHAT WILL BE Done TO-DAY-WHAT
WELLS WILL Do.-Colonel Gilbert C.
mond yesterday by the morning train from
Petersburg, and at once proceeded to his
usual quarters at the Exchange Hotel. He
is in fine health, and looks even better than
he did when, wearicd by the labors of the
campaign, but flushed with the victory of
the 9th Of July, he made his triumphal
march through the streets of the capital.
This morning the fifteen days Of grace
assigned General Wells by General Candy
expire, and, according to military order,
General Walker will succeed to the chair OF
Provisional Governor. OF course there will
be no display on this occasion. The Gov
ernor elect will probably take the oaths of
office at the capitol or gubernatorial man
sion before Judge Burnham or some other
judicial officer. This ceremony will take
place at noon, and Immediately thereafter
Governor Wells will turn over the papers
of the Executive Department to his sue
cessor.
Governor Wells has made report to
General Candy Of all pardons granted by
him, and the special circumstances indu-
cling an extension Of Executive clemency
in each case. There remain but three
cases not acted on to be turned over to the
incoming Governor-viz., the case of James
Jeter Phillips, sentenced to be hung, and
that of Samuel Baker, also sentenced to be
hung. Both of these cases are now be-
fore the United States Court on habeaS
corpus, and the sentences rcspited until
Friday, November 26th: also, the case of
R. H. Whitehead, found guilty Of murder
in the second degree, and under an cigh-
teen years sentence. The papers in this
last case arc not complete, hence no action
has been taken. Whitehead is in the city
jail. Governor Wells will remain in the
city and practice his profession. He has
rented the spacious residence of ex-City
Sergeant Thomas U. Dudley, corner OF
First and Franklin streets, and will take
possession on the lst OF October. In the
mean time himself and family will occupy
rooms at the Ballard House.
Although the fact OF Governor Walkers
arrival was not generally known yesterday,
many of his acquaintanccs, finding it out
before night, called, and rendered him their
congratulations. Among them were some
of his late political opponents.

had no such goods in store The following e&-
tract from letter received by us from eai-
ing commission house in Baltimore, present
the point Of the case and shows our people
where their true interest lies
Owe have examined the samples you ent Us
and find them highly creditable indeed. Your
goods are too good for our market, and will not
be appreciated by the trade here. Thcro is so
much shoddy and at the same time so much
show in tho Eastern goods that an out and out
honest thing like yours dom stand a fair chance
| of success"
The largest cloth dealer in New York say
"If you once Introduce your goods among,t
your people they will never buy any others
Encouraged by these opinions, we propose TO
| make the experiment, not by appealing to the
southern people to encourage home manuiac
lures. Organized bodies might be moved BY
such appeals, but individuals consult their in,

lion. Secretary Of Var, Washington, u. e.:
SIR: The question of electing Senators III
the Congress OF the United States by the Leg
islature which will assemble on the 18th proXlmo,
is one of great present interest in the State,
and many applications have been made Tor a
decision upon that point The subject appear
to be so free from difficulty that | have not
hesitated to express the opinion that the elcc
ton OF Senators was authorized and necessary
to complete the reconstruction, and was pre-
scribcd by the law OF July p, 1865 but that
it was not proper for me to make decision
upon a question that addressed itself - directly
to the discretion OF the Legislature after it was
organized.
There arc many however, who are Of the
opinion that this action is IL some way restrain
cd by the opinion Of the Attorney General G
August %, 1862 and have the honor to re
quest that the question who;hog the legisla
turc is authorized TO elect Senators Of the L
s. at the session which commences On the 5tl
OF next month may be submitted to The Attor
ncv General for his opinion.
