WILLIAMS-Dr. John d. Williams died De-
cember 10Th, 1869, in the 96th year of his age.
some of the circumstances of his life and death
will be of interest to many of the large congre-
CATION who attended his funeral in Gallipolis, on
the 18th inst He was sick unto death among
strangers; and circumstances which cculd not
be known at his funeral are peculiarly signif-
cant to those who are interested in the religious
experience OF men. In health he was religious
ly inclined though not in satisfactory religious
condition of mind. During several years he was
under conviction, but did not talk much aboutit.
During his sickness at Gallipolis, he prayed al
most constantly. His friends attempted to con-
vey him to his fathers home in Greenbriar
county Virginia, but he could proceed no further
than Camp Piatt, where he died in triumph,
having at last. by faith, q clear view of his Re-
deemer. At times he would endeavOr with his
remaining strength to sing verses, expressing
his feelings such as
20 Lord, bless my soul;
Take my load Of sin away
And set my spirit free.'
His soul found peace; and he was happy. One
of his last expressions was "My mind is SO re-
lieved.' After much suffering his death was
easy, and he was calmly resigned to the will OF
God His only child, De La Methrie, died Octo-
Der 27th.

Virginia Eats Dirt,

1t will be seen from the following dispatch
that the legislature of Virginia has ratified
the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments.-
Although the test oath clause in the new
constitution was voted down by an over
whelming majority by the qualified electors
Of tue State, and although the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, Mr.. Hoar, decided
that it could not be exacted from the mem
bers OF the legislature, yet the radical mem
bers of that body have stultiied themselves
by entering protest against the legality of
its proceedings. and reserve to themselves
the ultimate right to secede and organize a
separate and distinct body Of their own. If
there was any additional evidence needed to
show the absurdities and follies of reconstruc-
tion, it has been furnished by this high
handed and revolutionary proceeding of the
radical faction of that State. What will be
the 2ext phase in this Gisgraceful business
remains to be seen.
RICHMOND, Oct. S.-Both houses of the legs-
latUre to day ratified the fourteenth and IF
teenth amendments. In the Hnuse there were
only six votes and in tho Senate only four
against the fourteenth and two against the hf-
teenth, one OF the latter being coleTed Sena-
tor, who declined because he believed the legis-
lature was illegal. The legislature then, by
joint resolution, adjourned until October ISth
In the House, an amendment to the bill pass
ing the fifteenth amendment, making it take
effect on and after the admission of the State
into TIE Union, only received FIVE votes In
the same body resolution was offered that in
view Of doubts expressed about the legality of
this legislature, it will after admission into the
Union. re enact the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments. The resolution was referred
In The Senate to day, before adjournment, a
resolution was offered pledging the re enact
inert OF the two amendments after the admis-
sion of the State, and was pending when the
Senate adjourned. 1t was opposed by a con-
servative Senator casting doubt on the al
ready pledged faith in Virginia.

ALTHOUGH the following dispatch from
Vicksburg would seem to be genuine, yet it
is almost incredible that military COM
mander would attempt such an infamous
fraud. or, if he Hid. that it would be permit
ted at Washington. If such things can be
done with impuuity-if the ballot box can
be thus openly prostituted by the strong arm
of military power-then are the people of the
''freest government on earth" reduced to a
more degrading state of bondage than was
ever imposed upon his subjects by an abso-
lutte monarch. Compared with it, Russian
despotism is the highest form of true liberty.

NEGRO CoNGREssMEN FROM South CARO-
LIMA The Bev. H. NJ CAIN, "negro,'
editor Of the Missionary Record, the Radical
! organ in South Carolina, in his last number
reads a terrible doom to the carpet baggers.
It tells them their day is over in South Car
oina, and henceforth the negro will be his
own representative in that State. In respec
to the CongressmeI from the Charleston Dis
trict he says:
1--WE do not know who the lucky chap
may be; but one thing is pretty certain, that
the negro proposes to send a true represent
alive of his race to represent his interests at
the next election for Congressman. These
long, laDk, sharp-nosed gents (the carpet
baggers) may prepare for defeat. They will
have to take back seat till somebody else
has had chance. The colored people have
been sold often enough, and they have come
to the conclusion that these adventures with
white faces and black hearts shall not any
longer belle them and fatten off their stupid
ity. We venture to say no one of these pre-
tending scamps will ever 60 to Washington
to misrepresent them again. So of certain
people who are preparing to go to the Sen
ate through the influence of cnlored legisla-
tors, fine speeches, and few hundred dol
lars. That will not pay the way to the
Senate in the future as it did in the past.
Please take notice and govern yourselves ac-
cordiugly."

that the conclusions of the Post are based
upon too many miscalculations in regard to
democl attic majorities, as in the case of Cam

actual majority will probably fall two hun

/ REMARK BILE FALL OF RAIN.-The amount
of water which fell during the recent storm
was enormous. Very few have an idea OF
the real quantity. We have taken the pains
to figure up the matter specifically, aud the
result is amazing.
During the brief continuance of the rain,
from early Sunday morning to Monday NOR
ming about ten O'Clock, the fall of rain in
Rensselaer, and Albany counties averaged FIVE
inches in depth. The area Of these two
coHntiss may be put down at II, 000 square
miles, which covered with water to the depth
of five inches. gives 240. .869, $40 900 900
cubic inches of water. which is equivalent to
854, ,I46.. ..23, ,404 gallons. or I3, ,557 ,884 ,405
hogsheads.
The population Of the globe being estima-
ted at 900 900 900, the fall of rain in the
counties of Rensselaer, and Albany alone
would supply every man. woman and child
upon the face of the earth with two and
one-half gallons Of water per day for one year.
When It is understood that the late storm
took a wide range of territory, passing
through the Eastern States, down the Hud-
son TO New York. and sweeping over Dela-
ware. Maryland, Pennsylvania, and off to
the Southwest and when we consider that
the average fall Of rain was about five inches,
it will readily he seen that the amount Of
water which fe luring the two days Of storm
is absolutely incaculahle.
1t seems almost impossible that such an
immense bulk of water could have been re-
tanned as vapor. hanging like a sword over
the earth, and shifting hither and thither
with the win !, at length descending with
terrible violence aud fury, and spreading
ruin and disaster far and wide, but bearing
blessings to man OF the utmost necessity for
his existence and that of the entire creation.
