EuLoaY UPON WICKED MAS.-The Rich
mond (va.) E"qUirer begins political artl-
Gle with this storyi
''Somo years since, as we learn from n
friend, there died in the county Of South
ampton q cold, hard, selfish intrlguer, noto-
riously wicked In all the relations Of life.
The propriety Of afording him the usual
funeral honors was grayely discussed; for
eulogy seemed impossible, and even eau
tious abstinence from all personal illusions
would Of itself provoke painful reflections.
In this dilemma II was deemed best, on the
whole, 10 secure the services OF old Par
son -, whose unfalling charity thought nc
evil OF any human creature, and who, II any
one, could find some peg on which to hang
an encomium.
"a large crowd, induced by curiosity rather
than sympathy, assembled. The preacher
was, as usual, orthodox and impressive. On
reaching the expected crisis OF his discourse
he observed that IL would not minister Ia
cdiAeation 10 expatlato with any glow ol
language upon the merits Of our departed
brother, since the Establishments OF praise
no less than the earnings Of censure, fall un'
needed on the dull, cold ear Of death. But
one thing due regard TO the interests OF
truth and Justice compels me TO cay, and
that Is, that the deceased was, by the ad-
mirlng acclaim Of all who knew him, ad-
mitted to be one Of the best, aye, the very
best arithmetician In the county Of South.

Lewis Mckenzie, Independent Republican
candidate for Congress, followed. He spoke
OF charges which had been brought against
him Of selling saltpeter to tho confederate
government; said he never sold an ounce oi
saltpeter to anybody in his life. He sup
posed that the story originated from the fact
that when the confederate troops were In
Alexandria they seized all the gunpowder In
the public powder house, among which were
some twenty kegs belonging to the Alexan'
| drla, Loudoun and Hampshire railroad. He
defended himself from other charges, an'
nounced that Loudoun was good for him by
500 majority, and that unless there was q
convention to knock everything over, he
would represent this district In the next
| Congress. He thought tho colored people
stood in their own light. There were 49,,
OOO, 900 whites now to 5000, 900 colored, and
in 4 short time there would be s0,000, 900 Of
whites In the country, and 1t was manifestly
| the interest Of the colored people to have
the white people friendly TO them. He had
always been their friend; had suffered fol
them in the Legislature and In this city, and
he was amazed that they did not now sup
port him. lie was willing to vote for man
Ike Frederick Douglass; but the people
which now sought to ride to power on the
black people were totally unworthy. II
was shame. Applause.
ID. B' Douglas, OF King william, appeared
TO represent the Conservative State Central
Committee. He advocated tho adoption OF
the constitution eXpurgAted Of the test oath
and disfranchisement, and urged the people
TO register and vote.
W.T.. Tayler, Of Loudoun, candidate fol
State Senator, spoke Of the importance Of
registration, and guaranteed large majority
In Loudoun county.

Methusclals Drowned In the Flood.

We make the following extractfr from an ar
ticle contributed to the Louisville Journal:
All we know of The origin Of the earth Or
our race we learn from the Revelations The
chronology used by the civilized world is
founded on the dates furnished us in the
Bible. We reckon the date of the food from
the dates found in the 9th chapter of Gene
sis We learn from this chapter that Adam
lived before his son Seth was born 1870
years Seth lived before his son Enos was
born 105 years Enos lived before his son
Cainau was born 80 years Cainap lived
before his sor Mahalalul was born 70 years !;
Mahalalul lived before his son Jared was
born 65 years; Jared lived before his son
Enoch was born 1852 years Enoch lived be-
his son Mcthusclah (687) was born IS years !;
Metlluselan lived before his son Lamecli
was born 1877 years Lamecll lived before
his son Noah was born 1872 years. Noah,
hence, was born Anno Mundi 1888 e..a9 p
In Genesis, 18th chapter, 9Th verse, VIC
are Informed that Noah was 600 years old
when the food Of water was upon the earth.
Add 800 years CHS agc) to L, 056 the date
OF his birth, ana we have 900 the date OF
the food We learn from the 26th verse, 9Th
chapterof Genesis that all the days Of Methu-
selah were 500 years, andh he died." BY refer
ence to the foregoing table it will be seen
that Methuselah WIS born Ammo Mundi 6S7;
id his age 969, the date Of his birth, and
we have 1 ,656, the time ':when4the flood Of
water was upon earth:.'' The conclusion is
as certain as figures, that the oldest man was
drowned for his wicked pess. fAnd is a re-
markable proof Of the truth Of the Bible
figures -. 't''t il'ias9,~
