Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.
DANvILIE, VA, February 20, 1872.
During the past week we have had quito
lively time in our town in the way of amuSc-
mcnis. At the Masonic Hall the Theatre IS
in full operation, with full houses each night.
At uawkinS's Hotel has been formed ska
ting rink, where the young ladies and gentle
men find considerable amusement. Added
to this there are two auction-houses, where
the stentoran voices of their auctioncers can
be heard for considerable distance. All of
which cost money in which to indulge. Any
old citizen who is not used to these things,
and who may chance to pass up Main street
at night, would almost imagine that he was
in the wrong place-perhaps in some large
city.
The United States Court, Judge Rives pre-
siding, commenced its second session here on
Tuesday last, and, Judging from the amount
of business on its docket, will last for week
or ten days. Since its commencement they
have been trying the parties indicted before
their last grand jury for combining them
selves together as Il kukluX band, but as yet
have made but little progress.
The receipts of tobacco for several days
past have been somewhat light compared to
what they have been of late, owing to the
good spell of weather with which we have
been favored. causing the planters to turn
their attention more to the plough than to the
selling of their tobacco. Last night, how
ever. we had considerable sprinkling of
snow, and to-day it is quite cold and disa-
crceable. Tobacco continues to bring fair
prices. Yours, IL.

CHEESE AND CRACKERS

"Thc second-class passengers didn't have
much to eat but cheese and crackers. When
they could get hold of little meat they had
no way to cook it but upon the coal-stoves,
and no dishes. At night they had no way to
sleep but upon the seats, and if you have
ever tried to sleep sitting up in seat you can
judge of the misery Of the situation. When
one was sick it was absolutely necessary to
give him or her whole seat, and this crowd
ed I'D the others still more.

in authority among the officials-one who
knows what he is talking about. In addition
to extraordinary expense, the tide Of through
travel that swept over the road has all been
diverted to other channels, and will not
come back until the road is open and out of
| danger.
Leaving Omaha yesterday We only had one

conductor how that compared with former
trips, and was told that before the blockade
every train took out from three to FIVE sleep
ine-cals, and all full Of through passengers.
"Look at it now," he said, as he glanced
at Ing empty seats; "and you will see what
the blockade has done for us. haven't but

THE WORST WINTER KNOWN.
was introduced to Mr.. Clark, and we
went right into the all-absorbing subject, the
| blockade.
"This has been the worst winter ever
known in the mountains" said Mr.. Clark,
Gus well for intense cold as for severe and
protracted storms. OF this there is no diff
ference of opinion among old residents. At
Fort Sanders, where we were almost hope
lessly tugging away at the blockade, the mer-
curry one day was forty-fve degrees below
zero, and for q week it was at no time above
fifteen degrees below zero. Add to this q
driving wind and binding snow, and you
! have an idea of the suffering that the men
endured who worked in it, The snow would
come blowing over the hills and into the
cuts like the waves of the sea, mixed with
sand, and packing solid in the cuts. A cut
would frequently fill up in fifteen minutes
until an engine could not get through, and
causing hours of work to clean 1t out. And
then, perhaps, no sooner out than it would
fill again.

"therc was fearful suffering, and he who
says there was not is fool, if not liar. The
poor devils were packed together in cars not
half as warm as ours, and had to eat, sleep,
and live in them. They did not have much
fuel, either, and what they did have they had
to get themselves, and keep up their fires.
Sometimes they would be almost entirely out
of wood or coal, and that, too, when many
of them were sick. Some of the officers did
what they could for them, but their hands
were full in trying to get the road open.

Rev. George ii. HepwOrth.


A New York special to the ST. Louis
Democrat says:
Rev. George H. Iepworth will preach at
Steinway Hall next Sunday Hepworth,
in acknowledging the belief in the divinity
of Christ, has no present intention of al
lying himself with any sect. The plan be
has laid down was conceived before his
separation from the Unitarian Church. and
has been approved by many prominent
clergymen. He desires to start popular
church. with building large enough to
put the pews within the reach OF
people of moderate means-a church
to which every poor man will
feel he has divine right to go, and
where all can worship and work together
without distinction of station or purse. He
says further, that he intends to build a.
church on the basis of those theological
dOgmas and methods of devotion which
all Christian churches have in common.
Hepworth is of the opinion that the larger
part of his congregation is fully in accord
with his views, and will render him ear
nest and generous aid. He has had no de
sire to retain or get possession of the edl-
flee in which he has lately preached, BE-
lieving it too costly and untitled for the
purposes in view. In changing his opinion
he asks his people to drop the word
Unitarian" and agree with him on
plan embracing the views here set forth,
but having failed to get their unanimous
consent, he now desires to part with them
i'll all charity and kindness.

Serious Riot In savannah, georgia.

SAVANNAH, July 3O.-The riot yesterday
was occasioned by continued attempt of the
negroes toride inthe white cars, when several
negroes were elected by some young men ut
once. In the afternoon two negroes were
expelled from the cars, and the excitement
increased till towards night, when about z, 600
negroes lined the street, and many whites
were also out. About s o'clock a car was
attacked and fired into by the negroes, and
the white men in the car returned the fire.
Every car that passed after that was fired into
until the fire along the road became general
for about an hour, the negroes firing in all
directions. About II o'clock, two ladies and
two children were shot by the roaming ne
groes, while standing on the steps of their
bouses. The police were armed with mus
kets, and ordered out by the Mayor, but the
cars stopped running and the demonstration
ceased, and to-day everything is quiet. Three
young men have been arrested CHI rged with
ejectfng the negroes from the cars. and their
cases postponed by the U. s. COMMISSIONER
until Thursday. The following is list of
thecasualties: Mrs Barber, two painful buck
shot wounds in the breast; two children shot
in the body and one in the temple; Mrs.
Cohen, shot in the stomach; two children
slightly wounded; II. F. Segar, shot in the
wrist; Henry Saberf shot in the foot. Several
negroes were wounded, but none killed.
