BURKEvILLE, Aug. 10th, 1871.
TO the Editor of the State Journal:
For the encouragement of working Re-
publicans everywhere, l write to inform
you that Nottoway is alive and stirring for
the success of the good cause. We held a
rousing meeting here on Saturday. There
was a very large and attentive audience,
and it was particularly noticeable that a
fair proportion of the crowd were Conser-
yative white men who listened eagerly to
the plain truth enunciated by the different
speakers. Hon. George w. Graham was
elected chairman Of the meeting, after
which Hon. VIM. P. Austin opened the
meeting with short but effective declara-
tion of Republican principles. John Rob-
inson, Of Amelia, followed, defining his
own portion and that of his own friends.
ii. Ii. Wells, Jr., of Richmond, in a
twenty minutes argument, laid bare the
fraud and wickedness of the Virginia De-

Excursion to Cobb's Island. The grand
excursion to Cobb's Island comes off to-
morrow, as advertised in the columns OF
the STATE JOURNAL. The "John Syl-
vester" leaves here at @ A. NJ, and will
connect at Norfolk with the steamer IN. p.
Banks" for the island. This promises to be
one of the most agreeable excursions Of
the season, and the low fare for the round
trip ($3) places this short respite from toll
within the reach of many who need and
will fully enjoy it. We are assured that
no pains will be spared to insure the safety
and comfort of those who embark on the
.'Sylyester" for this voyage.

Connecticut Ercansionists.- party Of
excursionists from Litchfield county, Con-
necticut, numbering thirty-three persons,
landed at City Point yesterday morning
from the steamship "Wyyanoke,' and pro-
ceeded by rail to Petersburg. A majority
Of the party were members of the First
Connecticut Heavy Artillery during the
war, and have come to Virginia for the pur-
pose of revisiting their sold camp-grounds, y
the historic battle-felds in this part of Vir-
ginia. They will come to Richmond on
Thursday, and remain until the departure
of the New York boat on Saturday. The
leader of the excursionists is Captain E. w.
Marsh, of Bridgeport. The press fraternity
is represented by Messrs. Z. F. Vail, of the

Major w. f. Worthington, in his grace
full but earnest manner, by a series Of not
only State, but national comparisons, Illus
trated the workings, financially, of the two
great parties.
Hon. w. Ii. II. Stowell, member of Con-
gress, exposed the workings Of the Democ-
racy in Congress.
Hon. George w. Graham, in conclusion,
defined his own position, and proved con-
clusively that the ISLANDERS in circulation
about him in Nottoway were falsehoods.
The meeting broke up with one fixed
resolution on everybody's lips, that from
this day henceforward every Republican of
Nottoway would work and labor for the
good cause with more vigor than ever be-
fore. 1t is only matter of regret that
two such good Republicans as Austin and
Graham should be opposed for the nomina-
ton for the State Senate. X.

The E@emen's Supper Last NigM.-To
the unaided efforts of the "Hand-in-Hand"
and the "Iook and Ladder" companies of
Richmond, are the gentlemen composing the
Chambers Fire company of Portsmouth in
debted for a hospitable and bountiful enter
tainment last night. The supper was a
magnificent one-the more enjoyed because
of the welcome extended by these two COM
panies. The former of these companies
wears place in our estimation as faithful
and efficient workers when their services are
called into requisition. We know several
of its members personally, and those we
know possess liberal and generous ideas the
more befitting them to hearken to the cry
Of distress, no matter from what quarter it
comes.
Mayor Kelley delivered the welcome ad-
dress, to which q handsome response was
made by member of the visiting brother
hood. We hear good reports of the speeches
of Justice White and Mr.. Joseph English.
The torch-light procession enlivened our
streets for an hour or two previous to the
supper, and showed to splendid advantage
the athletic and manly forms of the Ports
mouth boys.
The visitors took their departure this
morning for Petersburg, and were escorted
to the depot by deputations from the above
companies of the Richmond department.
We wish them all the pleasure possible
wherever they may go, and a safe return to
their homes when they have had their visit
out.
Great praise is due the committee of ar
rangements, which was composed Of Capt.
Herndon, Capt. Phillips, Ed. Sweetman,
ID. S. Cordle, and j. 4. Nowlan, for the
efficient manner in which they conducted
the reception ceremonies. They discharged
the duties devolving upon them in most
satisfactory manner, and by their courtesy
and gentlemanly bearing, won the respect
and esteem of all.
