OfR Union with the Wells People.
RICHMOND, July 31.-John W. Jenkins, Chair
man of the State Central Committee of the
Wells party, having written letter to DIR. Gil
mer, Chairman of the Central Committee of the
Walker party, urging that the two parties now
unite for carrying out Republican principles
the latter gentleman writes a reply saying that
the Walkerites left the Wells party because
they were either forced to do so or to oppose
the policy of the President. After alludiug to
the almost unanimous endorsement of Repub-
hcan principles by the white men of the State
and asserting that the colored people who were
misled by the Wells leaders are now hocking by
hundreds to the Grant and Walker sta ndard, he
concludes as follows:-
"You ask for a coalition of the two wings of
the Republican party. l cannot admit that the
party is divided. On the contrary, claim that
the Grant-Walker is the National Republican
party of Virginia, representing the policy of the
President and of Congress, and as such has no
division to heal. To the late Wells party have
only to saywe shall gladly welcome them to our
ranks, for we are unwilling to deprive any class
of citizens OF the innumerable blessings that
must flow to Virginia from an unequivocal en-
forcemept of those national principles of which
President Grant and Congress are the head and
front"
Colonel Thomas P. August, prominent law
yer, died to-day. He was an officer in the Mexi-
can war, Colonel of the 18th Virginia Confede-
rate Regiment during the whole of the war. and
former State Senator from this district.

Their views on the Situation.
NIAGARA, July 90.-Colonels Ryan and Cur
rier of the late Cuban cavalry are still at Cliff
ton, Canada where they attract much attention
They appear to be nOwise dispirted at the recent
turn of affairs in New York. They look upon
the reported dissensions in the Junta as more
calculated to injure the members individually
concerned in them than to prove detrimental to
the cause of Cuban independence. Had the
Junta properly sustained the Gardeners Island
expedition they allege that they would have
long ago reached Cuba with the forces they
were recentlycompelled to abandon in New York
Captain Anderson is expected to reach here to-
morrow, when some plan is to be agreed upon
for another movement.
Communications daily had by Ryan and
CuTrier with the Junta in New York. and il is
given out that when new course of action is
determined upon, neither the petty internal dis
sensiOns of parties in New York, nor the zeal of
Uncle Sans officials will be able to frustrate the
movement. The story that body of Cuban
volunteers were about to make their way To the
Canadian frontier is pronounced by Colonel
Ryan without the least foundation. 1 learn
however, that Colonel Ryan has been rendered
recently, by wealthy Cubans of New York, such
means as may be required for a reorganization

SOUTHERN EDUCATION,
The Peabody Fund-Letter from the General
Agent on its Distribution.

The Rev. DR.. Sears, general agent of the Pea
body Southern Educational Fund, wrote as fol-
lows from Staunton, Va, on July TO-
The trustees have decided to cooperate with
state systems (of public instruction. as far as
possible. We hope to do so with Louisiana and
see no great difficulty, if the two races are
placed IN separate schools. believe there are
no mixed schools in Florida, South Carolina
North Carolina, or any other State; nor can /
suppose that Louisiana will venture on so bold
an experiment.
II, under the State law no schools are main
tanned but such as are attended by coored chill
dren, or if, virtually, the colored children, and
they alone, are provided for by law, we must
look particularly after the white children.
In making our arrangements with towns. our
Judgment must be guided, first, by the amount
raised by the people; secondly, by the popula-
tion to be provided for. Our contribution is not
charity to poor children but an encouragement
to communities. The people must contribute
something-say three-fourths, or more, of the
amount needed To support free public school
in their midst, and certain number of children
to be provided for should also be reported, so
that we may know what supplementary aid is
required, each year. TO render the school per-
manent and successful.
Both the trustees and Mr.. Peabody are warmly
attached to our plan as il now is, particularly to
that feature OF ii which relates to public schools
cannot yet say, however, what amount can be
granted the coming year. If we can work more
adYantageOusly in Louisiana than elsewhere we
can justly and wisely do more than we could 40
otherwise; but If the children for whom we pro-
vide will not attend the schools, we must with
draw our aid and bestow it elsewhere.

shall be renewed Every thing is on probatlohi
this is our great security. If the people raise
