CIVIL RIGHTs.-Mr. Stephens, of Sus-
sex, in an able speech yesterday on
the bill providing for the securing of
certain civil rights to all classes of
our citizens, and which was reported
from the committee with the recon-.
mendation that it do not pass, as such
rights are already sufficiently secured to all
classes, said he was sorry that a bill of
such Importance should come back with
such recommendation from the commit
tee. But all reforms generally have to
pass through three phases ridicule, oppo-
sition from prejudice, and lastly, con-
sideration and the latter generally leads
to success. lie supposed, however,
the committee thought the time for consid-
Grafton had not yet arrived. Mr.. Stephens
cited several well known instances, that
clearly proved that all classes of our citi-
zens are not in the enjoyment of full civil
rights, and that color is made the test as to
who shall enjoy them. Notwithstanding
these facts the vote on the engrossment Of
the bill was-ayes O.; noes %, and on mo-
ton the bill was rejected.

LOCAL MATTERS.

The SHENANDOAH VALLEY.-A
wonderful place is the Shenandoah Valley.
| Its grand streams, its fertile plains, IT.
beautiful scenery, its valuable timber, its
rich mineral deposits, the gigantic noun
| tain ranges which form its boundaries, and
the historical incidents connected with it,
render 1t one OF the most remarkable local
tiles within the borders of our State or OF
the nation. Strange to say, even its promi-
nent typographical features are little known
or appreciated, much less the peculiar
qualities of soil and climate, which
make it one of the most productive re-
gions in the State.
Major Jed Hotchkiss' lecture in the Se-
cond Presbyterian church last night was
repletc with valuable and interesting facts
concerning the topography, geology, min
eralogy and meteorology of this wonderful
valley, and we very much regret that his
statements and illustrations could not have
been heard and witnessed by hundreds of
our thinking citizens instead of dozens.
After alluding to the earlier historical
incidents connected with the valley of the
Shenandoah, and also to the thrilling scenes
in the late war, the Major described at
some length and illustrated by diagrams
the physical geography of the region. The
valley is one hundred and twenty miles
long, by an average of twenty-five miles
wide, being bounded on the one side by the
North mountains and on the other by the
Blue Ridge. These mountains are pal is of
the Appalachian range which traverse the
vast extent of country from about the
mouth of the st. Lawrence river down into
Central Georgia. These ranges are found
to correspond exactly with the Atlantic
sea-coast, both as it now exists and before
the currents coming down from the Arctic
seas inroaded it. In the centre of the great
valley rises the Massanutten mountain
range. The altitude of the valley is about
four thousand miles above tide-water, and
its broad domain is perfectly sheltered from
the storms which sweep over less favored
portions Of the country. The Valley is
capable of sustaining a population of five
millions. With its present population it
produced last year one-eightieth of the
wheat crop of the United States.
Major Hotchkiss gave many interesting
facts concerning the geological formations
of the mountain ranges and of the valley.
The name Shenandoah" is of Indian orr
gin, and signifies daughter Of the Skies"
suggestive OF the elevation of the valley
above the level of the sea, and the Blue
Bidge forms the shore of the primeyal
ocean. The lecturer commanded the ear
nest attention of his auditors. He is IA
miiar with the region of the State which he
described, and is possessed of fund OF
knowledge concerning the natural advan-
tages and resources of Virginia generally, |
which we trust he may be induced to inn
part from time to time for the general m |
formation and good of all.

DEBORAH LAST NIGHT. -Janauschek's g
Deborah last night was another triumphant
impersonation of character. As on the
preceding evening, she irresstibly enchain-
ed her audience, enforcing the deepest sym
pathy in the various emotions of love, pa
thos, hate and contrition, which the piece
calls forth. The audience, though not
quite as large as that of Monday evening,
must be regarded as most gratifying tes-
timonial to the unparalleled genius Of the
queen of English tragedy. All the mem
bers of the company have met the expecta-
tons of our citizens, and are justly re-
garded with high favor by all who have
witnessed their irnpersonations. The piece
for tonight is 'Chesney Wold," a drama
tization of Dickens story of Bleak House.
