Friday Morning, Sept. &c, 1871.

Friday Morning, Sept. 22, 1871.
The meeting held at the Court House on
Saturday last was not remarkable for numbers
or noise, bat it had about it the appearance
Of earnest purpose which marks the conduct
Of men engaged in practical and important
business. Each Township and Ward Of
the County and City was represented by
numbers Of its best and most intelligent and
substantial citizens, and from every quarter
came up the expression of common pur-
pose to assert and maintain the supremacy
of the Conservative party.
1t is evident that the people of this Coun-
ty and City are fully impressed with the i'm
portance, or rather the necessity, of thorough
organization as means of party success,
and that they have no idea of relying upon
an unorganized militia TO encounter the well
drilled regulars of the Union Leagues.
Our people are, to great extent, unac-
customed to party drill and many of them
have strong aversion to the machinery of
the Caucus and the Convention. It must
be remembered, however, that whatever we
may think Of it, however we may dislike it,
we have to be governed by one Or other Of
the two parties contending for supremacy in
Virginia, and that the only privilege left to
us is to choose between them--a choice not
difficult for any true Virginian to make.
The voter,ss who now refuses to act and
vote with the Conservative party, may
think what he pleases, or say what he likes
about his position, but he is practically and
in effect at least half a Radical. He must
be wholly in one party or the other, or he
must "straddle the feace!" r.f.
There are in every community, and ours
is by no means an exception, number Of
persons who are disposed to play the part Of
the Bat in the Fable-passing now for a
Bird and now for Beast, in the hope Of
conciliating both parties, and it is for the
special benefit of this class that the Conser-
vatives Of the State concluded to close il
their organization and to draw the party
lines. There can, for the future, be no
middle ground, but every voter must take
his choice between the two parties.
The test of Conservatism, applied BY the
State Convention, is Opposition to Radi-
cdlasma," and no man can be recognized as a
Conservative, who builds bis hopes Of pro-
motion upon Radical votes in opposition to
the Conservative organization, or who gives
aid, comfort Or countenance to any such as
pirant .lr u sa.Iin Jyss J ya7
We publish to-day the names of the
County and City Committee, and of the
Township and Ward Superintendent. The
names give promise of activity and sf6cien-
cy, and we doubt not that the Conservative
voters will have every opportunity of
thorough organization. The word is, for
ward! E.,,.. bz-l O., -.s

So Goes the World.

Our varied days pass on and on,
Our hopes fade unfulfilled away, II !:
And things which seem the life of life,
Are taken from us day by day; ~ !
And yet'through all the busy streets
The crowd of pleasure-seekers throng,
The puppets play, the Snowman calls,
And gossips chat the whole day long,
And so the world goes on!
Our little dramas come to naught;
Om lives may fall, our darling plan
Nav crumble into nothinSness,
Our firnlest castle fall to sand;
And vet the children sing and dance,
The moilev-makers laugh and shout,
The stars, unmindful, still shine bright,
Unconscious that our light is out,
and so the world goes on!
The house grows sad that once was gay;
The dear ones seek their blessed home,
And we may watch and wait in vain
To hear their well-known footsteps
come:
And vet the sunlight flecks the floor,
And makes the Summer shadows
The rosebuds os Mt the easement bloom,
The bird pours forth his cheerful song,
And so the world goes on!
And God goes on, and with our woe,
Weaves golden threads of joy andpeace,
Guarding within his heart of hearts,
Our DAYS of pain, our days of ease
He marks them ali-the seed, tfes'.eaves,
The dancers smile, the mourner stears,
And keeps them safe-His children all
Through all the great eternal years,
Andso, thank God, the world goes on

Dicks story was told in the hotel

The ugly cozswain, whom Annie
had noticed, was a paid detectige to
whom Dick had given the clue to a
noted burglar, while engaging him to
be of the yatching party. Hoist was
of course an assumed name, and poor
Annie almost tainted again when the
notorious appellation of her fascina.

learned, through the coxswain, of their
destination, aGd had thus been ena-
bled to take a train at tie nearest
station for Bridgeport, in company
with the officers who went to make
the arrest.
The whole party, who had so;long
defed the law was captured, tof
course, giving vent to suchexpressions
as it beAooyeth me not to record
Annie Morris vent home to Aunt
Jessica, "a subdued, chasteped woman.
The very mention Of yaching. has a
terrible effect upon her, and Sing
Sing is q forbidden subject.
Even Dick, who alter g years
elapse, is master of the house at Long
Beach, and its pretty mistress, does
not dare to'mention beautiful Bridge
port. But Dick finds that yachting
has improved Annie e's'temper, and he
is quits wilii4g to take her affections
