Justice White and TIE PHots.-Our at
tention has been called to the communica-
ton of 'S.," in the Norfolk TrQinian OF
the lSt, containing severe structures upon
Justice White for his decision in relation to
the recent alleged violation of the pilot law
by Captain Kirby. t
1t strikes us as peculiarly appropriate
that ice should add our voice to the uniyer-
sal opinion entertained here, that Justice
White is incapable of a mean action in his
official capacity.
Having closely observed the conduct of
the numerous Democratic judges in the
State, We take great pleasure in awarding
to Justice White and to Judge f. j. Rib
BILE, of Roanoke, the well deserved honor
of being guided solely and alone by law and
justice in their decisions. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that partisan feeling has so crept
into the Judiciary of the State, as to render
IT generally corrupt and incapable; but Mr..
White is as far above and beyond the reach
of "other reasons" as IS" is incapable of
approaching his purity.
We have no fears that anything said in
relation to him, could harm him here for
any official act in the past, but as he is not
as well known elsewhere, the letter of IS"
may have an injurious effect. This is a
voluntary opinion, unsolicited and un-
sought, which we give the more cheerfully,
because we are so seldom justified in speak
ing well OF the present partisan Judiciary
of Virginia.

Ptc-Nc.-It was our pleasure. bv invi-
tation, to attend the picnic given bv Stuart
Lodge No. III, |. o. 0. f., on its first an
nivcrsary. A large company of ladies and
gentlemen We're in attendance. The place
selected was the future residence of Mr.. A.
B. Woodbridge, one of our most enterpris-
ing citizens. This beautiful place for pic
mes is about onc-eighth of mile from DR..
Perkins and joining the Drewry farm. one
OF the most beautiful farms in the country.
While the large crowd were amusing them
selves IN the various amusements which had
been prepared for the occasion, the COM
mlttec OF arrangements, Messrs. Lipscomb,
Jordan, West and others were preparing
the good things; the Brunswick stew was
made by Mr.. Ii. Woymack, which was ex-
cellent. The roasting was attended to by
Mr.. r.. j. Cersley, which was done up in
the Old way-good. All things being an
nounced ready the ladies were conducted to
the table, and, after blessing was asked
upon the food, all partook with sharp ap-
petite. ....
The dinner being over with satisfaction to
all, the amusements commenced. and for n
short time all We're gleeiul and happy. Just
at the time for speaking a storm arose,
which deprived Captain VIM. |. Clopton.

and moral effects of Odd Fellowship in this

grows older. If fifty years has done so
much in the advancement of the Order.
what may we not expect it to accomplish in
the next half century? The thanks of
the committee is rendered to Mr., A. b.
Woodbridge for his kindness to Stuart Lodge
on the occasion.
We noticed on our way to the Odd Eel
lows picnic, that the Presbyterian Sab
bath school were having happy time near
the residence Of DR.. Perkins.

"deader," by belaboring it in its defunct

But, notwithstanding all this, it is plainly
to be seen that there is an undercl r.ent

gives the radical Republicans no little un-

Col. R. ". Hughes and the Republicd,
idrty.-The Dispatch has, on several occa
slons, referred to letter, purporting tC
have been received from Col. Robert w
Hughes, in relation to the Republican par.
ty in Virginia and its present condition
Extracts from this letter are being repeat
ed in many Democratic papers throughout
the State, giving great encouragement to the
hermaphroditeS, and calculated to discour-
age our own friends. Had this letter been
written by a less able and prominent mem
Der OF the Republican party, the same pub
hcity would not have been given it, but as
Col. Hughes is acknowledged by both par
ties to be one of our ablest champions,
much capital is made of its contents. In
the absence of Col. Hughes from the city,
we owe him and the party duty to cor
rect the false impression that he has given
up the party and is going to unite with our
opponents. His letter was never intended
tor publication, but as castigation, well
deserved, of certain Republicans in the
State who are more hurtful to us, and who,
by their selfish conduct, are doing infinitely
more harm than if they would openly form
an alliance with our enemies. When par
ty and its management falls into. the hands
vi incompetent individuals who are surely
destroying its vitality, then it becomes the
duty of such men as Col. Hughes to step
forward and demand change. He is not
speaking alone for himself, but for the peo-
pie OF the State, and will be supported by
those who are as determined in their Re-
publicanism as he.
. We desire our friends to understand there
is no more thorough Republican in the State
than Col. Ro. w. Hughes, nor is there one
more directly interested and solicitous of
the success of our party. 1t is of the pre-
sent management he complains. He is
thoroughly aroused to the Importance of
sharp, active work, and has pledged himself |
to enter the field, determined to do his du-
ty, regardless of whom it offends.
We may not fully agree with the Colonel
in expressing himself by letter, and would
have preferred his presence in our Council
but even that mistake will be corrected at
our next meeting, when he promises to give
us the support ofhis presence and acknow-
edged ability. Our Democratic friends need
!eel no encouragement from anything Col.
Hughes has written; on the contrary, they
may rest assured it will have the effect to
iamage them to an extent that they little
expect.

The rapid progress towards completion by the

gentlemen from Great Britain of wealth and in
there, are at present in Virginia for the purpose
of inspecting lands which they propose to buy
and bring into immediate use In the manufacture
OF irone Count de fleury, formerly French Am

is rendered accessible by the Chesapeake

traverses is blessed with mild and genial

than its bonds, for it adds to vast and varied

The Gravity and Fun of the ssNew Departure. >,
The shafts Of wit and rdicule sometimes
accomplish more than the soundest argu-
inent. Hence if the Southern or the West
ern or the Northern anti-departure press
begin to poke fun" at the new movement
the "eninent gravity" of its supporters it
is not unlikely will eventually be seriously
disturbed.
Among the Democratic papers most ear
nest in opposition to the measure is the
Mobile Register, journal we have been led
to believe was at first inclined to think IA
vorably OF the new movement. But now
1t declares that "a cowardly party never
wins political battles, and the Democratic
party cannot be marshaled and inspired
for victory under tme-serving banner"
This is plain talk. 'r.i
But while the Mobile paper discourses in
this plain manner, its Forest (Ala) name
sake takes the humorous side, and, says it
"has heard OF condensed milk, potatoes.
meats, &C., but condensed Radicalism is the
latest thing out" "It is put up" it con-
tnues, "by few Democratic editors ex-
presSly for their Democratic friends who
were unable to swallow the article in its
crude state. 1t is called the new depar-
ture,'" Nth r.
Again, it is related that a Kentucky far
mer being asked what he thought of the
new departure replied, that it appeared to
him ''as if some impatient Democrats. Sec
