For the Sneafaty


Mr. EDITOR Sir, You suggestion of
last week, Of the necessity of the organization
of Chain Gang for the city of Staunton and
the county of Augusta, under the late act Of
Assembly, meets with hearty approval of the
people. 1t has long since been felt to be great
grievance to require the industrious and well
disposed to board the petty criminals Of the
city and county, and allow them to live at ease
while every other good citizen is toing for a
support. The adoption Of the measure pro-
posed would enable the public to have good
roads entering town and an improvement Of
the streets at but little expense. 1t would
very soon have wholesome effect upon thieves
and offenders generally. Imprisonment in Jail
has no terrors for the majority who go there.
Ia fact. some are SO depraved as to prefer a
support at the public expense, This whole
subject is under the control of the City Coun-
Gil and the Supervisors Of the county and it
is hoped and earnestly urged upon these Off
Gals to put this new law in force without I'M
necessary delay
We take pleasure in expressing our thanks
to you for bringing this new law to the atten-
ton Of the public and those in authority in
particularly. THE PEOPLE.

AnoEber Whitfield

The New York Herald gives an account of a
Scotch preacher newly arrived in Brooklyn,
who is creating quite sensation, being regard
ed as another Whitfield The Herald says:
''Our sister city of Brooklyn is always agog
about somebody or something. The latest
cause for excitement is the preaching of big
headed, black haired Scotchman, the Rev. W.
NJ. Taylor, who comes over from Liverpool,
where he has been drawing crowded houses, to
take the place in the pulpit Of the Rev. Dr.
Storrs and fill the seats of the magnificent edi-
fee of the Church of the Pilgrims The latter
he does effectuaIIy. His intense Christian ear
nestness, gilded by genius, gives him immense
power over his audience. aud those who hear
ken TO his preaching cannot soon forget his ap-
peals. Go and listen to the Words which come
from his lips, now with the sweetness OF Hy-
bias honey aud now with the power and stir
of the tones Of trumpet Go and let him
persuade you to become almost 3 Christian,
and by Heavens help you may be saved. Go
hear him and be better men.
