FLoRAL.-Much Of the attractiveness of

was due to the elegant floral decorations so

and John w. Turner, whose gardens are
also in the vicinity of Hollywood. Visi-
tors from all parts of the Union expressed
the highest praises Of the magnificent
pyramids of flowers and of the beautiful
plants and shrubs. Without special mem
ton of these important elements of beauty,
our descriptions of the most successful ex-
hibition Of the kind ever Witnessed in our
State, would be as incomplete as would
have been the exhibition itself without the
glorious presence and influence of the sweet
flowers and vines and plants which adorned
the hall.

SHARP WORK TO BE PERFORMED
The approaching fight between Democracy
and Republicanism, in Virginia, is going to
be hotlv contested. There is severe labor
to be performed by every person who feels
an interest in the success of his party.
Every individual member of the Republican
party, must, if he expects to win, arm
himself and feel eager for the fray.
We shall do our duty unEinchingly wher-
ever our captains may order us. We, with
our paper, imagine we arc doing good SER
vice in the glorious cause, and are striving
earnestly to accomplish the greatly to be
desired results of defeating Democracy in
this State.
As an evidence Of our determination to
labor in the good work, we have consented
to, and will commence on Tuesday, the
18th inst, to issue sem-weekly edition of
the STATE JOURNAL, in addition to our
present daily and weekly. We are now
being read by greater number of people
than ever has been any Of our Republican
predecessors, and yet we are not satisfied.
We want to reach, if possible, every
man in the State, in order that the Repub-
lican party may be heard, and that we may
expose to public gaze the infamy and hy-
p0CTJCy Ol DclllOCfdcy. w U CdlllOt uO Ills
unless our friends in the country will as
sist us. In urging renewed energy on their
part we must not neglect to return our
grateful acknowledgment to those who have
manifested an interest III us, by furnishing
us with subscribers, but the good work
must 90 on, must never cease, so long as a
man is to be found willing to read Repub-
lican paper.
We ask then, not that we expect a monied
return for our labors, but we ask in behalf
Of the Republican party, that each indi-
vidual friendly to it, devote little Of his
time towards securing us q hearing by the
people of the State.
We are cheered by the frequent letters
we receive, all congratulating us on the sue
cess of our enterprise, but neither the party
or ourselves are yet satisfied. M
Send us the names of our acquaintance,
who would like to subscribe or who will
read our paper gratuitously for reasonable
time and you will entitle yourselves to the
gratitude of the party in Virginia.
Send in your lists as rapidly as possible ;
we are prepared to furnish as many copies
as you will have read.
We regret to state that office-holders,
who live upon the emoluments of party
office, have thus far failed in their duty.
| We ask none of them to circulate the
JOURNAL particularly, but we do declare
it their duty to see that Republican paper
reaches the people. ~

SHOCKING REVELATIONS.
Rnin Of a Girl By Her Own brother.

The Memphis Avalanche of Wednesday
gives an account CT revolving case of in
eest which was first brought to light and
public notice last Monday evening. About
ten o'clock that evening, while a well
known physician was quietly reading at
his residence, he was startled by violent
ringing at his door bell. Hurrying to the
door he found an elderly gentleman, who
implored him to come to his house imme-
diately, as his daughter was dying. Hav-
ing seen the young lady referred to only a
day or two before, the doctor thought the
sickness very strrnge, but supposed it was
caused by a eongestive chill or some other
dangerous malady.
Proceeding Immediately to her bedside,
the physician, after q moments examina-
ton, discovered that his patient was in
travail. Stepping out of the room, he call
ed the father and mother and asked them
if they were aware of the condition of their
They replied tina they were not,
but supposed it was some sudden attack
and remarked that the young lady had felt
unwell for, several days. Their consterna-
ton and grief may be imagined when the
doctor told them the real cause of their
daughters illness. The mother received
the heart-rending information with a
shrek, and fell senseless into the arms Of
the father, who bowed his head, while a
convulsive sob shook his strong frame,
Ordering ever one to leave the room ex-
cept the physician and his wife, the ia
ther went up to the almost unconscious
girl and demanded the name of her sedu-
Ger which she with tears refused to give,
but by repeated threats, intermingled
with solicitations from her mother, she fl
nalIy named her own brother as the gull
ty man. This last blow was too much,
for, with low, heart-broked gasp, the
poor mother fell lifeless on the floor, and
it was onIy by the most assiduous care and
careful treatment that she was ever re-
stored to consciousness.
From questions asked the girl, it was
learned that her unnatural brother had
first led her from the paths of virtue when
she was but fourteen years of age, and
since that time has been criminally init
mate with her repeatedly. A few days ago
the brother, who was considered highly
exemplary young man, left for parts I'M
known. The yonng lady, whose family
are highly respectable, is about seventeen
years of age, gave birth to child on Tues
day morning, and at last accounts mother
and child were both doing well.
