FARMvlLLE, August p, 1872.
There was large attendance at Cumher-
land count Yesterday. Judge Reynolds being
absent on account of his health, Judge +. \.
Watkins, Of Prince Edward. held court.
Only one case Of interest was tricd-a negro
by the name OF Davy EglcSton, for bigamy.
He was defended 10y X. Il. Berkeley. The
jury sentenced him to three years in the rcnl-
tertiary.
The event Of the day was the stirring and
able address from Captain Z. W. Mckinney,
congressional clcctor for this district, who.
in an able ami lengthy speech, painted the
Radical Grant Administration in its true
colorS. showing the enormitieS and outrage>
it had committed. and pointed out the many
advantages that would result to the South
from the election Of Greeley. Though this
is the Lack district of Virginia, from the
manrcr in Which the canvass was opened ycS-
tcrday. and the way in which it is meant to
keep it up. it will be rcd-hot 10y November
every white man will be ut his post, and we
expect to carry many il colored voter for the
Conservative ticket. ALPHA.

pistol from Mr.. W. r. Page (son of the lady
with whom he boarded], who sought Vestal
ut the cars and accused him of the theft, &C.
tlnlly dragging him oil the train with the
view of having him arrested and searched.
No warrant had been provided, however,
and Ncsttl was suffered TO proceed on his
way. though his conduct when leaving and
the circumstance that he only had access IT,
10 the room from which the pistol was takcl,
appear to demonstrate his guilt.
The sensation Of the day is Il match game
Of baseball between the Old Dominion Club,
OF this city, and the Piedmont Red Stocking
Club, of LynchblIrg. which is being played
as write on the campus in the rear Of Pop
lar Lawn. There is a large crowd of special

interest.

SEVERE PUNISHMENT FOR DRUNKENNESS
The sentence of Thomas Taylor, the marine
who was tried in Washington for drunken
ness on his post, has been promulgated. He
has been sentenced to two years solitary
confinement on board the Wyaukank and to
forfeit all his clothing and pay due him. He
has been about Il week in this prison.
Thomas Dorcy, fellow-marnc, who was
intoxicated at the time, when he heard Tay-
Tor was in trouble, very wisely took French
leave. The marine Taylor, who has been so
severely sentenced, is an incorrigiblc and
persistent drunkard. as set forth in th
charges and specifications. 1t is presumed
that his sentence will make Il teetoaller of
hiln-as long us he is in solitary confine-
ment- but such plan to convert il fellow to
the temperance cl,lse could be invented only
in the uavy.

remember him still as such at Rome In the
house of the Prllssian ambassador, Bunsen,
whose devoted friend he retained through
life. He was with Bunsen in England Mt the
time of the foundation of the Jerusalem
Bishopric, and he published then several
most learned essays in English on the ecclc-
siastinl and political questions involved in
this first attempt at u common action of the
English and continental churches. He after
wards entered the Foreign Office at Berlin.
