Meeting of Woodlawn Ciub---April Session.
To the Editor Of the State Journal:
This fourishing club, to the number of
between 20 and 80, assembled on Saturday,
the goth, at Walnut Hill farm, the fine res
idence of Walter Chalkley Gil
lingham, President, in the chair, and n.
w. Persons, Secretary. The weather was
auspicious, and the meeting pleasant one.
The subject of manures and fertilizers
was discussed at some length in an earnest
and instructive spirit. w. Gillingham
read very instructive and scientific essay
on the subject of manures, starting on the
principle that they are the basis and mo-
tive power of successful farming; showing
that they should receive the first and high
est consideration Of farmers. This pa
per is deserving of wider reading than it
gets in single club. Others made inn
portant remarks on the subject of fertl-
izers, and the mode of applying them. +
Mr.. Way made some interesting remarks
on the subject Of oyster shells, claiming
that they are better when crushed than
when burned.
DIR. Howland and G. Leekens made inter-
esting reports from the Critical Committee,
showing that the farm of Mr.. Walton, the
host, was we'll managed and in creditable
condition. This is splendid farm, both in
the quality of soil, and the lay of the land.
1t is one of the original farms Of General
Washington.
The subject of farm implements and ma
chinery was settled upon for consideration
at the next session.
P. Hillman Troth, from the committee,
read an appropriate and affecting memorial
of respect and coincidence ON the life and
death of Keziah Gillingham, the deceased
wife of Chalkley Gillingham, president of
the club, which was also responded to by
sympathetic remarks from different mem
bers, all in testimony of the noble and
charitable character of the deceased. After
some conversation, the club adjourned to
meet at L. Mason's on the 18th of May.
A bountiful dinner was enjoyed by all, at
the handsome table provided by Mrs.
Walton, supplied with great variety of
good things.
The matter of organizing a company to
secure steamboat facilities for this region,
was introduced by Capt. Snowden, and a
scheme for carrying it out was read and
the enterprise favored by most of the mem
bers. This is wise move, and if perfect
ed will be advantageous to the public as
well as this society.
In the evening, a rich treat was enjoyed
by all, through the generosity and enter.
prise Of DR.. Z. P. Rowland, who gave a
| fine exhibition of views of the Yellow Stone
and Yosemite on canvas from the Camera.
Peach and cherry trees are in rich bloom,
and promise fine crop, showing there
was not as much damage by the winter as
was feared. This is one of the finest regions
of farmers and farms in Northern Virginia,
where grass, grain and fruits all flourish
| well. ID. S. g.

Sale of the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail-
road.

Montgomery, Ala., April 22.--After a
long litigation before Judge Woods, of the
United States court at Mobile, by w. F.
Dinke and others, to set aside the decree of
Judge Busteed, declaring the Alabama and
Chattanooga railroad bankrupt, it was
decided by Judge Woods last Saturday that
the bankrupt proceedings were in regular
form, and he declined to interfere.
The sale of the road came off at this
place to-day, in pursuance of advertise
ment by the assignees in bankruptcy.
Governor Lindsay bought the road for the
State, and it gives much satisfaction to the
people, as it is thought it will save the
State from any loss on account of the road.

THE CINCINNATI RooRBACK.

The Republicans of this city were not
little surprised at the announcement made
BY the Enquirer this morning that Judge
Morton and DR.. Mills would be probable
candidates" to the Cincinnati Convention !;
and the announcement surprised no one
any more than Judge Morton himself.
The following correspondence will show
that the information, if any, that our DEM
ocratic contemporary possessed, in refer
ence to the Cincinnati movement" in this
city, was entirely gratuitous, to use no
stronger term in qualification Of it:
RICHMOND, VA, April %, 1872.
Hon. Alfred Morton
SIR-Your friends and political associ-
ates saw, with surprise, in the Richmond
Enquirer, this morning, your name mem
toned, among others, as probable dele
gate to the Cincinnati Convention. Having
known you as one of the staunchest Re-
publicans, a man whose convictions were
too solid and whose political sight was too
clear to be reduced from his fidelity or de-
ceived by device SO transparent as the
Cincinnati enterprise, we would not
believe the published statement un-
til assured of its truth by yourself.
Will you please inform us whether you
expect to be delegate, or in any way par
ticipate in the Cincinnati movement.
We trust, sir, that you will not regard
this inquiry as involving a question Of
either your fidelity or earnest adhesion to
the principles or the party organization
with which you have been so long con-
nected. Nothing but the publication re-
ferred to would warrant the inquiry.
Yours, sincerely,

ANSWER OF JUDGE MORTON.

nlCHMoND, A.s hpIH 40, lod1.
Dear Goce,nor, In reply to the letter Of
this morning, signed by yourself and other
Republicans, | hasten to say | shall have
nothing to do with the Cincinnati move
ment, so-called, and am quite satisfied
that no good Republican here will partici-
pate in call for a meeting to send dele
gates to Cincinnati. Our safety depends
upon successful fight inside of party
lines, and see no reason for going outside
to fight the battles of Repnblicanism.
You are at liberty to show this to any
friend who is desrous of knowing my po-
Sition after the unauthorized publication in
the Enquirer of this morning.
Yours truly, s
ALFRED MORTON.
Hon. FL. H. Wells and others.
DIR. Mills is absent at New Orleans, and
will not return for two weeks. His friends
say that he is grossly misrepresented in the
article Of the Enquirer, and that he is an
earnest friend of Gen. Grant, and desires
his reelection.

THE WEST INDIES.
Lecture by Rev. II. Ill. Pearne, ID. ID.

A large and attentive congregation assembled
at the Methodist Episcopal Church on Sunday
night to hear DR.. Pearne's lecture on Jamaica
and the West India Islands. The Doctor mas
been for nearly two years holding the posltloh
of United States Consul, at Kingston the IaTg-
est city in Jamaica, and has ample means Ior
informing himself of the habits OF the people,
their condition in life, the commercial, educa-
cational and religious advantages enjoyed, As
well as the products and climate.
The Doctor spoke of the beauty and verdure
of the island, the brightest gem IN England S
crown" described the magnificent forests,
clothed in eternal emerald, where hundreds of
different varieties of trees and shrubs were grow
ing together in all their tropical luxuriance, a
thing never seen in the temperate zone, for here
seldom were seen more than half dozen kinds
growing together.
The roads were among the best in the world,
and were kept up by the Government, as they
had been by the Spaniards before they lost pos
session of the island, though some of them had
been used for more than three centuries, and no
repairs have been necessary.
The climate was fine and if Europeans or
Americans avoided excess they enjoyed as good
health as in their own country.
The statistics regarding the industries, ard
school and church were very interesting and
showed high degree of excellence.
The time and place were such as to preclude
doing, the subject full justice and we therefore
hope the Doctor will be induced to lecture
again on the same subject during the week
ture more in detail Tho ability of DR.. Pearne
is acknowledged by all and his reputation would
draw full house.
The reverend gentleman filed the pulpit on
Sunday morning and preached most able SER

Poisoned to Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains a
great amount of waste material taken from the
blood When the liver becomes torpid or con-
gested it fails to eliminate this vast amount of
noxious substance which, therefore, remains to
poison the blood and be conveyed to every part
of the system. What must be the condition of
the blood when it is receiving and retaining
each day two and half pounds of poison !?
Nature tries to work OF this poison through
other channels and organs-the kidneys lungs.
skin, ETC.; bat these organs become overtaXed
in performing this labor, in addition to their
natural functions, and can not long withstand
the pressure, bat become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical centre
Of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the I'M
healthy blood which passes to it from the heart
and it fails to perform its Office faithfully Hence
the symptoms Of bile poisoning, which are dull
ness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on
any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy,
sleepy or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings
and irritability of temper. The blood itself be-
ing diseased as it forms the sweat upon the sur
face of the skin, it is so irritating and poisonous
that it produces discolored brown spots pim-
pies, hlotches and other eruptiOns, sores, bOils,
carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The stom-
ach, bowels and other organs spoken of, can not
escape becoming affected sooner or later, and
cOstivcness, piles, drOpsy, dyspepsia diarrh9a,
female weakness and many other forms of
chronic disease, are among the necessary re-
suits. As q remedy for all these variods mani
festations of disease, DR.. Pierces Golden Medi-
cal Discovery is positively unequaled. By it
the liver and stomach are changed to an active,
healthy state, the appetite regulated and re-
stored, the blood and secretions thoroughly pu-
rifed and enriched, and the whole system reno
waited and built up anew. Sold by all frst-class
druggists.
In every quarter of the globe where it is

cedence of all similar preparations. Its tran
scendant merits have obtained for it popularity

In its infancy the fat Of its success was pro-
it received from physicians veterinary surgeons,
