To invent something that would be to Ker
osene what the Argand burner is to gas, has
been the object of much fruitless effort with
only expensive and cumbersome results. The
Brilliant Burner is the first which from its
construction and operation seems to really
meet this demand. For study, parlor or libra
ry lamps it is admirably adapted.

weeks duration COL Powell has for several
years past been the principal of an excellent
Female Seminary in Richmond. The Rich

him. He was sincere Christian, polished
scholar. gentleman of the highest integrity
all uniting to make him what he was, the
brightest among the bright of an enlightened
circle of friends" This tribute to his memory
is every way just and appropriate. He was a

The CONSERVATIVE CONVENTIONAL the

The CONSERVATIVE CoNvENIoN-On the
thirtieth of August next, iAis proposed to hold
convention in the city of sichmond, to be
composed of delegates chosen by the people, of
whatever former political opinions, opposed to
Radicalism and the policy aid designs Of the
leaders of the Radical party. The object of the
convention, as ably set forth IN the address OF
the chairman of the Central committee, is to
reorganize and revivify the Conservative party
the party that, in 1862 by concert Of action
and harmony of sentiment, sinking %all party
differences, won victory that redeemed 'lr-
ginia from the thraldom of Radical misrlle and
restored the government OF the State"to the
hands of it's own people To properly consum-
mate this object and to have convention that
will not only reflect the wishes of the people,
but sustain the dignity Of the Commonwealth
and the past political fame of Virginia, it is
urged that men of intelligence and experience,
having the true interests of the State and the
party at heart, and unbiased by personal consid-
erations, be sent as delegates, There has scarce
ly ever been period in the history of politics.
when judicious counsels should more prevail, and
wisdom and moderation were so essential as at
present. A single mis-step, or move. in the
wrong direction, may thwart the purpose7sought
to be accomplished by the convention a6dsfur-
nish the opposition with weapon with which
to infict serious injury upon the Conservative
ranks. There is no community in the State in
which there are not men of sound hearts and
clear heads-men who have the fullest conf
dcnce of their fellow citizens who have
no political aspirations to crafty and who are
actuated solely by the desire to enhance the
general welfare, and who have the courage to
assert their rights and the ability to mainta in
any position they may assume-of such the con-
vention should be composed. The intellect and
patriotism of the State should be brought to
the front in order that the State may be saved
and the hands of those opposed to Radicalism,
throughout the country,b be strengthened for flu
ture political conflicts. Virginia's voice may
again be potential in the National counsels;
therefore let the best intellects of the State be
gathered together in order that unity and har-
mony may prevail and policy be iuaugurated
that will lead to the success Of Conservative
principles and secure the defeat of RadIcalism.

CONSOLIDATION While in other countries

dency to diffuse power-the reverse seems to be
obtaining in this; for here everything is tending
to consolidation and Capitalization the rights

are promulgated with scarce less authority and
arrogance, than the ukase Of the Car Of all

hoped-to centre all roncey. Monied Institu-

from their Legitimate objects and making them
subservient to the great centres \ greater
