THE OLD DOMINION.

RICHMOND, october IA.
The premiums awarded at the State Fair at
Staunton to-day amounted to two thousand dol
lars. Charles ID. Stien, OF Baltimore, received
the first award for pianos; A.SP. Routh, of vir-
ginia, for the best useful inventions, and Benja-
min Smith, colored, for the best specimen OF bar
rels The fair closed with practice by the ladies
in archery, tournament and masked ball.
A telegram to the Dispatch says: governor
Walker made an address to-day at Danvipe. In
the political portion OF his address he said he felt
nothing but pity for the opposition party in'the
late canvass, who we're led by set Of cormorants
and carpet baggers, who had nothing at stake but
their own selfish interests. He Fejoiced that the
election settled the fact that Virginia was here
after to be ruled on principles Of right and justice
and civil and political equality. What she now
needs is plenty Of honest, industrious and intelli-
gent laborers, no matter from what source they
come. He appealed to the young men OF Virginia
not to forsake the State, and not to forsake the
plough and ny to the large cities of the North,
where vice and generalization awaited them"
Judge Rye, the State Treasurer, also spoke,
much In the same strain. ~

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Laurens, OF
the immediate vicinity of Martins Depot, de-
string that talsehood should not pass for trath,
and having read and heard of the late scanda-
lous and false publication made, through the
columns of Radical press, by one Joe Crews
against our neighbor, DR.. Benjamin 5. James,
lessee of the Laurens Railroad, and knowing
DR.. James to be O high-toned gentleman, and
that he would not condescend to notice any
thing coming from the dirty source from which
the article above referred to purports to come,
feel it due to truth and to the reading public
outside of our district, where the character OF
DR.. James, for sterling integrity, moral worth,
and for all that is just, true, generous, honest
and noble, may not be known, to state that the
article written against him over the signature
of the said Joe Crews is as false, scandalous
and Infamous as he, the said Joe Crews, Is
worthless, and unworthy of belief or OF any
confidence The whole publication of Crews
is tissue of falsehoods.

Speaking of amateur singers, an English
writer says that while they are all wcarisome,
the ladies are the more endurable, for ''they
are more up to their work. The number OF
ladies who can play and sing tolerably well is
infinitely greater than that of the gentlemen
possessing the same talent and skill. The
great fault of the ladies is that they are too am
bilious. A girl who has good voice, which is
really effective in small room, thinks-and
herein deceives herself-that it will be equally
effective in large concert room or theatre.
She sings ballads admirably, as well, perhaps,
as they need bc sung. Therefore she attempts
brauura airs, and does not sing them nearly
so well as they would be sung by a fourth-rate
secanda donna on the Italian stage"

PERETAcIN1HE.
The Bishop OF Orleans Adjures him to
Retrace his Steps-Hyncinthe's Reply.

-
The French journals publish the following
letter from the Bishop OF Orleans TO Father
Hyacinthe: .o
Mu Dear Brother-As soon as learned from
Paris what you were about to do, endeavored,
as you know, to spare you, at all cost, what
would be, on your part, SO great fault and
misfortune, and at the same time cause OF
profound sorrow to the church. l sent at the
moment, and at night, your former co-disci-
pie and friend to stop you, If it was possible.
But It was too late; the scandal was consum-
mated, and now you can measure, from the
grief of your friends in the church, and theJo
of all her enemies, the harm you have done.
To-day can do no more than pray to God,
and conjure you to arrest yourself on the de-
clivity you are on, and which leads to abysseS
that the troubled eye Of your soul has never
SEEN You have suffered, know; but let me
say to you that Fathers Lacordaire and De Ra-
vignan, also know, suffered more than you,
and raised themselves the more In patience
and in strength by their love of the church
and Of Jesus Christ. How have you failed to
feel the injury you do to the church, your
mother, by these accusatory anticipations, and
the injury you do to Jesus Christ, In placing
yourself alone before him, in contempt of His
church? But. desire TO hope, and hope that
1t will be nothing but transient deviation.
Come again among us; after causing the Catho-
lie world this sorrow, give her great conso-
lation and example. Go, throw yourself at
the feet of the Holy Father. He will open his
arms to you, press you to his fraternal heart,
and restore your peace Of conscience and the
honor OF your life. Receive from one who was
your bishop, and who will never cease to love
YOUR soul, this testimony and these counsels
from true and religious affection.
FELIX, Bishop of Orleans.
Father Hyacinthe has written the following
reply:
MonSeigneatr /: am much touched by the
sentiment which dictated the letter You
have done me the honor of writing, and l am
most grateful for the prayers which you are
kind enough to offer up in my behalf; but
can neither accept the reproaches nor the
counsels you address to me: What you call a
great fault committed, 1 call great duty full:
filled. Accept, Monseigneur, the homage of
the respectful sentiments with which remain,
in Jesus Christ and in His church, your very
humble and obedient servant,

The Times, In an editorial Oh the Fenian am

1t is still formidable enough to rally sympathiz-
ers. No one doubts the right OF government to
suppress with vigor outrages against law and or
der. Had the ferbearance OF the Crown been in
voRed in q becoming tone, with recognition or
its rights to protect peaceable and loyal citizens
amnesty might be message Of peace. At pre-
sent we see no presumption that 1t would be re-
ceived in that spirit by the demanders. While 1t
must operate as q Encouragement to those who
helped to crush the Fenian outbreak, there can
be no greater injustice or more impolitic step
than such an act Ireland is still Fenian at heart
or hostile to union. We believe the majority Of
the Irish would rejoice at the suppression OF Fen
ianism, and that some who signed the amnesty
petitions would be thankful II the petitions would
be rejected"
The Times has an editorial to-day on financial
matters in the United States. The writer says:
"There may be circumstances In the financial po-
sition OF the United States authorizing so glaring
a departure from the sound rules OF public econ
omy; but 1t is dificult to deny that the mere
struggle Of gamblers, by an act of government, Is
magniied into an event OF national Importance
II Mr.. Boutwell, had persevered, more money
would have changed hands, more fortunes been
made or marred, other brokers gone mad, ao-
seconded or committed suicide, and the threat
against Fisk might have been executed. 1t is not
easy to decide whether this viii be for good or
evil. It might have allayed the speculative fever
sobered the gambling madness, weaned some
helpless dupes from the exchange, rid it OF some
arrant rogues. The lesson win not be altogether
lost. Had the lesson gone on to the end it might
have been more impressive, and Its precepts en-
hanced by higher cost" o.

is not a favorable condition in which to encounter
the raw cold winds OF October and its chilling fogs

fever dysentery, bilious attacks and rheumatism
are more or less prevalent everywhere, put espe-
cialy in localities where the atmosphere is natu-
rally unwholesome. In order to avoid the dam
gers arising from these causes, the exhausted sys-
TEN should now be renovated and invigorated by
