MIss1NG CLERGYMAN.-The Norfolk Jour
nal states that Rev. Mr.. John NJ. Brandt,
Lutheran clergyman, who came to that city
two weeks since and preached three sermons,
protesting to desire to get up congregation,
has been missing since Wednesday. His room
in the Atlantic Hotel has been searched. and
few clothes and package of letters found
in it-one, addressed to Mrs Hason, of
Alexandria, from which town he hailed, says
to her that she need not be frightened to find
him deaI-he had wished to die long time.
He feels some conjunction at going into the
Atlantic Hotel without tloney to pay his
board, and says may the proprietor he 'con5
soled for the loss of his money" by "the
thought that he had checred us the last mo-
ments of poor, unhappy wretch"
The Journal thus describes the missing
man:
"Brandt was Cor is) man of about forty
five years of age, five feet ten or eleven inches
in height, spare built, with rather bald head.
His address was very good he spoke very
good English, with hardly any foreign accent.
He had quite clerical air, and was very well
calculated to make friends in any community"
A gentleman informed the Mayor that he
saw man leap into the river on Thursday
morning very early. He was drowned, as he
did not appear again.

RAILROAD EXTENSION.

We have shown the importance, in previ>
Gus issues of our paper, of the extension of
the Cumberland Valley Railroad through the
county of jefferson. The interest excited upon
The subject, and possibility of the adoption
of the route suggested, extending through
this county and Clarke, and thence through
the Luray Valley, induced a number of our
leading citizens to unite nan invitation to
Maj. Warts, the Chief Engineer of the Cum
berland Valley Railroad, to visit our town.
This invitation was accepted, and on Thurs
day last the Major paid us visit, when full
and elaborate consultation, of an informal
character was held between him and the gen.
tlemen who were appointed a committee at
the meeting held at Hooff's Hall on the 9Th.
As the visit of Major Watts was entirely
tied by the consultation yet it afforded an
opportunity of laying before him a vast amount
Conformation in regard to the proposed route,
that may be valuable hereafter in determining
the location of the road south of the Potomac
river, whenever the company may decide upon
its extension. An estimate of the cost Of an
experimental survey or reconnaissance of the
country between PowelPs Bend-the point on
the Potomac to which the road is now located
has encouraged the committee to enter into
preparations for such survey at once, and it
is expected that the services of Messrs. John &
David E. Henderson and J. B. McElroy will
be engaged to furnish Topographic map of the
country from the point above specified to
Charlestown, in the shortest possible time for
its accomplishment.
This survey will of course be at the expense
of our citizens, and upon their lberality will
greatly depend its contamination. Deeply
interested as they arc in securing competing
line of trade and travel to the Baltimore d
Ohio Railroad, we are satisfied that they will
heartily respond to any call that may be made
upon them, that has in it the probability of
such result.

Martha,s Vineyard Jubilee.

The Northern Methodists are holding
great jubilee at Martha's Vineyard, Massa-
chusetts. They have a high old camp-meet-
ing in progress there. 1t was quite natural
that some wolves would be attracted by such
a gathering of lambs, and We see that Gov.
Sprague, Ben Butler, Henry Wilson, Ben
Wade, Gov Clafin, Gov Padelford, of Rhode
Island, were all present.
The humorous reporter of Mr.. Dana's pa
per (the New York .Sun) makes the following
allusion to the politicians.
"Hennery Wilson is unctuous and redolent
with piety-a great gun among the saints;
aud just as evidently their man for the Senate
as that Butler isn't. Indeed, one of the
preachers yesterday divided his time pretty
equally between the creator of the world aud
Hennery Wilson. Hennery also, spoke, aud
good, souarekround Christian, who dOn'tcom-
bine politics with religionl {, Oh, no! guess;
don't he though y Give me HennIry Wilson.
"Benjamin f. Wade is also here. Benja-
min, beng singnlarly aVerse to swearing and
vulgarity of all sorts, went to meeting like a
good man as he Is, aud a sturdy old Ro-
man" And if you know anything meaner
than a sturdy old Roman, please send me
word And these three-Ben Butler, He'll
merry Wilson, and Ben Wade-domicile Under
the same roof.
unfortunate roof.
Butler is at Sprague's good deal, and
Butler and Sprague talk great deal, and
Sprague invited Butler to come and see
him. and Butler invited Sprague to come and
see him; snd hereupon and hereat there is
great chatter and surniising at Martha's Vine
yard"
Among the incidents mentioned by the
lively correspondent is the following:
Another man, who didn't look very saint
ly, it must be admitted, said he was convinced
that he ought immediately to amend his life !;
which was received with such general and
emphatic Amen Amen" that naturally
concluded be was some we'll known and har-
dened old heather"
This would have done well for Butler or
Wade.

ATTEMPTED OuTRAGE.-A few days ago
Miss N, residing four miles from Mid
dleburg, Loudoun county, was overtaken
whilst on her way to Long Branch meeting
house by negro boy, who seized her and at
tempted to commit an Outrage upon her. The
young lady resisted the scoundrel in spirit
that was well worthy of one of her age. In
the struggle which ensusd Miss M had
her earrings torn from her ears, and her
clothing almost stripped from her person.
Her cries brought to her assistance young
man who happened to be passing. The black
william made his escape, but was captured next
day By the father of the young lady, who, hav>
ing taken him into the woods and tied him to
a tree, beat him until life was almost extinct.
He was then left, and upon subsequent
search it was found that he had made his ess
cape, which was fer him fortunate event, as
party of enraged neighbors had assembled,
and were fully determined to give him the
benefit of rope.
