Gone to the Dogs.

The Radicals of this State had Convention
in Richmond last week. The hungry creatures
have been waiting in great harmony and hope
since the war for this old Commonwealth to die,
and furnish them fine feast upon her carcass.
But since there is certain signs of long life and
good prospect of corn and currying ahead, their
patience has given out, and they have pitched
into each other.
The bad-egg and butter-milk concern broke
up into big row. The negroes incontinently
kicked the white scalawags out Each faction
set up for ITSELF and claimed to be the true
thing. The outsiders who were able to hold
their noses long enough to look at the fight say
it was an interesting affair.
The game is up with the Radicals in this
State. The greasy pack has been shufled for
the last time The white and black elements
were held together by very slight ligature.-
The conservative victory clipped the venomous
beetle across the middle. The tail part wrig-
giles around in pain and spite, protruding its
sting in aimless impotence. The head portion
crawls slowly and awkwardly along: now. and
then tries to fly, but like kite without tail,
comes down fiat On its back Brains without a
belly won't do in nature orpolitics. When these
summersaults and twistings afford amusement
no longer the conservative party puts its foot on
them and ends their misery
We shall have no more of the curveting of
the Radical Centaur. The Conservatives
stretched rope across the road, and when this
hideous monster came snorting and cavorting
along, the cord cut the creature through where
the man and beast joined.
Now the white body lies helpless in the dirt,
and the black beast, without guide, is plung-
ing to certain ruin.
| AS the huge concern has collapsed, there is a
! duty upon. the Conservatives. Deal gently with
the erring. There are very few Jackasses if a
lion skin is put on their backs, but will try to
play the King of the forest. They have lost
their tawny covering and are now looking visit.
fully toward the old haystaeks Send out few
rope halters, put them behind their long ears,
fog them little, and bring then. back to their
names and collars. Hard is the heart that can
listen at the braying, away in the woods, of the
poor creatures, for bundle of fodder, shelter.
and curry comb, and not relent.
The foolish old fellow who tried to fly from
the top of his barn by Tapping two lunches Of
hay, and found himself up to his eyes, in a pile
of muck, was not in half so pitiful plight as q
Virginia Radical to-day. He'll never tempt
fate again. Pull him out and wash him. Don
laugh at his foly-Ka. Gazette, (Lenington.,

Organization of Walker Party.

OTSaulzdIlOu OF a walker 1d1 ~.
The following circular is published in the
Lynchburg Me,os of yesterday. We only re-
mark that this is the Respectable" Republl-
can party which has so long been promised us
by the Whig We doubt not that some of the
names will drop off, as soon as the affair is
properly ventilated, which will be done. We
warn the signers that they have taken step
which cannot be too promptly retraced:
RICHMOND, Oct. %, 1869.
At an informal conference of some of the
members of the Legislature on the day OF al,
iournment-when it was too late to have full
meeting of the Walker party Of the General
Assembly. It was deemed important that the
party should be organized by the appointment
of Central Committee, and other steps be ia
ken to insure harmony and concert OF action.
Without some such organization, the party Will
be as inefficient as mob, and liable at any
time to have its aims thwarted by foes, open or
secret.
The following names for a central committee
at Richmond, and from Congressional districts,
were suggested, and the undersigned requested
to act as a subcommittee to communicate the
same to you subject to alteration, approval OF
rejection on your part Please make any sug-
gestions you may think proper, and respond al
your earliest convenience. 1t is proposed, as
soon as approving replies shall be received from
majority of members, to publish the names
OF the committee
Very respectfully, yours,

Good Out of Evil.
One of the noblest of English poets wrote of
that Providence which.
Out of seeming i'll,
Is still educing good

Out of seeming i'll,
Is still educing good;
and certainly we are disposed to think that the
assembling of the Radical Convention last week
was perfect God-send to the good people of
Virginia. 1t indicated not only the elements
of which the majority of that party in this State
is composed but demonstrated the utter i'm
possibility of conducting government, repub-
lican in form, upon such basis as they would
agree upon The rupture in the party was
most opportuue, for it secures the support of
the more respectable and intelligent minority
to the proposition for immediate admission, and
renders futile the opposition of the Porter
Downey faction of extreme Radicals. We could
not have arranged a better programme, if we
had had the management Of it, than the blind
drove all that was respectable of the Convention
into the opposition. 1t is just what We have
been expecting, praying and hoping for. Allah
be praised Lynch. Vagiaian.

"A TERRIBLE FIRE.-A fearful item of news
from the Russian press is the burning of the
town Of Jeniseisk, Eastern Siberia, on the Sth
of September The fire originated in turf
moor, which had been smouldering for some
years, and during violent storm burst out in
to sea of flames, which seized the nearest
house about IL clock in the forenoon. thence
spreading over the whole city, At clock in
the evening 1900 houses mostly wooden, but
thirty-fve Of great size,) six churches, two
cloisters, all the stores, and an immense amount
of grain (about two million pounds,) were de-
stroyed The rapidity with which the flames
spread prevented the people in nearly every
case from preserving their goods. Over one
hundred corpses were found charred in the
streets. and as many more are said to have been
found drowned in the water. Many of the in
habitants fed to the vessels in the harbor, but
these, too, we're caught up by the flames. The
city is now desolate, and its former presidents
are streWn around in the neighboring villages
