Gen. Lees Condition.

STANTON, VA, October 3.-Col
Christian, just from Lexington, re-
ports that OH the evening OF Septem-
Der 28th, General Lee, after presiding
over an unusually large meeting of the
Faculty of Washington College, atten-
ded prot1acted and exciting meeting
of the vestry of the Episcopal Church.
On returning to his residence he fain-
ted from the extraordinary fatigue,
and was placed i'm bed, where he has
since remained under advice of his
physicians. He has had no symptoms
of apoplexy or paralysis. He speaks
as occasion requires, and his physicians
confidently expect his recovery in q
day or two. At noon to-day Monday
he was cheerful, and his family and
physicians are confident of his speedy
restoration. Col. Christian left Gen.
Lees house at noon to-day. This Is
reliable.
The hearts of the southern people
are sore but they bleed afresh over the
aflliction of Gen. Lee. The human
mind wherever il exists Is engrossed
in the consideration of passing events
both great and startling, but there are
few Of the intelligent and thinking
men who people the world who will
await anXiously decisive tidings of the
| health of this greatest and best of pub
lie men. May he be spared yet Il little
while!

Col. Hughes seems to wrap the rad
ical party of the 8th Va. district about
his dictatorial finger at will. They
did not want him because they saw
upon him the terrible and indellible
shadow of The Richmond Examiner.
So they called convention ut Marion
to nominate Major Smith. a simple
nod of Col. Hughes head seems to
have been sufficient to send them
away without daring to thwart his de-
signs or disobey his imperial will. So
the Col. runs for Congress. Really
he will hardly afford the democracy
sufficient resistance to make a case Of
slaughter. They will simly run right
over him and squelch him. His own
party will regard his refractory course
as releasing them from obligation and
many of them will repudiate his En-
dDliner history, and Gen. Terry will
scarcely take in to the account in cal
culating the result Of the contest.

The treatment which the captured
Emperor of France receives at the
hands OF victorious Prussia Is without
n word OF common 1atiOn at the hands
Of radical journalists. "Will VIII
helmshoe suit you as residence?"
was tho language Of king William TO
Napoleon after the equalization at Sc
dar. Put Jefferson Davis IN irons "
was the order of the brutal Stanton,
who had caused the captured President
to DO placed in n damp comfortless
room In Fort Monroe. Napoleon Ia
escorted In state carriages at pleasure
beyond the environs Of the most love
ly palace in Germany. Mr.. Davis was
kept under the espionage of q coar
and bestial yankee sentinel, who kept
his perpetual beat in front OF the only
window allowed the fallen chieftain Of
the South. Stanton Is dead and dis
honored and johnson lives for dis
al'ointmol in the world. Earth is full
81 comparisons and contrasts. The
Dutch have put the Yankees To 81 am 1.

the Commonwealth. The present
Legislature will be called on to elect
Senator for the next term and while
there are several aspirants for the po-
sition it is an impossible thing for
Virginians to betray or abandon
iaitk.al and devoted public servant
who has never been known to aban-
don Virginia. For the Legislature to
refuse to re-elect him would be for it
to repuJiatc his course as Senator and
indirectly to endorse the perfdious and
infamous course of Senator Lewis.
1t would lie to draw no distinction
between the patriot and the traitor,
between loyalty and treason. Mr..
Johnston has stood like deeply based
immovable reck against the avalanche
Of radicalism. He stands to-day a
rcbuke to the peridy of Lewis and
Virginia must and will reward him by
prompt reelection.

CHEAPER THAN BEFORE TIE WAR!
- lricures, are you aware that you can
enjoy the luxuries of the dessert at
much cheaper rate than ten years ago?
Science has converted wild product
of the Irish coast into an element OF
Unreasonable dainties of the most
who lesome, nutritious and delicious
character; and the price of this new
staple is less by one-half than that Of
any other article of the same class con-
tanning like amount of nutrinent.-
Need we say that SEA Moss FARINE
is the article referred to. The wealthy
and entcrpTising New York Company
engaged in its manufacture are entitled
TO the thanks of every phllanthrUpist
for introducing this new source Of eX-
cellent and agreeable food, ut a price
which places it within the reach of all.
One experiment will convince the
most skeptical that with SEA Moss
FARINE they can produce unequalled
custards, buildings, jellies, Charlotts,
creams, sauces, &c, at less cost than
before the war. The depot of the Com
pany is at SD Park Place, New York.

LINDSEY, o., june, 9th 1870.
MR. EDITOR: There has been considerable
alteration made in the plan, concerning the
construction of the new Church, which is now
being built at this place. The building COM
mitee reconsidered the plan which was for
merly considered in favorable light, and had
been decided as the most desirable style un-
der the circumstances, and announced accord
ingIy at the time. They have concluded the
better way would be to make it a two story
church. The basement to consist of lecture
room for Sabbath School, &c, and class
rooms, with the audience room above. The
membership have accepted of this improved
plan, believing it would answer much better
purpose in the end: The work is being rap
idly pushed forward to completion.
Several days since, Mr.. Isaiah Overmyer had
the misfortune to lose some fine sheep, through
the agency OF some vicious dogs, which made
a raid upon his flock. There were also quite
a number badly mutillated. Mr. o., went in
persuit of their caRiaeShipS and succeeded in
meeting out to them their Just dues-death. 1t
is said "every dog has his day." these certainly
had theirs, ending rather abruptly. The very
popular and interesting game of Croquet, has
its deCoteeS in our village, as well as in places
of greater note. Those who do not engage
in active employment, or, such, as are Deces-
STATED to follow occupations of sedentary
nature, find it pleasant means of recreation,
and an aid in banishiur GduII rare - and fro
quently also, that feeling of unrest and tedium
known blythe nOtvery euphonious term snnm.
