On Thursday; the last day of the Fair, a
heavy rain fell in the morning, which pre-
vented any exercises and rendered the post

We will give report of it in our next.
The Conservative Convention which as
sembed in Harrisonburg, on the 18th inst,
nominated Judge Jno. T. Harris, as the
Conservative Candidate for Congress from
this District. This nomination has not gen.
orally satisfied the Conservatives, and, from
conversations with large number Of them

place at the head Of our columns the name
Of its nominee, but hold ourselves III readi-
ness to support that man, whoever he may
be, upon whom the opponents of Republi-
canism can most easily be rallied.

gained brilliant victory, having carried
that place at the point Of the bayonet. The
Prussians and French armies on the Loire
are concentrating near Orleans, preparatory
to a great battle. The Prussians have made
no demonstration as yet against either Bio
is or Tours, and the excitement at the lat
ter place has subsidized and additional prepa-
rations for its defense projected and being
rapidly carried to completion.
We have just been handed a card from
Mr.. Corbin NJ. Reynolds. Of Botetourt
