Bursting of the Bubble.

There is no question that "the Greeley
movement " is just now tagging. This is
acknowledged on all hands OF course, the
reasons assigned for it vary. The World
says there is "a lull IN the canvass;o while.
other prominent Democrats say there is ''a
pause" caused by the preparations for the
Louisville Convention, there being much
curiosity and some anxiety to see what
will come of that undertaking.
Nobody, of course, supposes that its
candidate will stand any chance of election,
but he might draw too heavily on the
Greeley vote. If, for instance, Charles
O'Coner were to be nominated, it would
play sad havoc with the majority with
which Mr.. Greeley expects to "leave the
be that Greeley is not a candidate to
bear examination. The criticism Of
the canvass tells on him as it probably
never told ON any candidate before.
One ofhis prominent supporters remarked
in our hearing, after the nomination at Gin
cinnati, that +" it would either prove an ava
lanche or a fizzle," and the more ardent
Greeley men expected it to prove an 6 ava
lanche," or in other words, expected to
carry him into the White House by hur.
raining and repeating cath-words. This ex-
pectation has been completely disappointed,
ard although the movement has not as yet
by no means turned out to be " fzzle,"
discussion tells on it daily.
The result of the North Carolina election
has scared the doubling, and there has been
total stoppage of accessions.o More
over, Grant silence compared to Greeley's
noise--for in the popular eye the latter, his
retirement to the contrary Notwithstanding
is still the true editor of the Tribune
begins to tell powerfully in Grants favor
and even to excite q kind of enthusiasm
about him which is stimulated by the per
sonal attacks on him.
A man who, in the midst of the insensatt

BITTEN BY A SNAKE.-Mary M. Fray
ser, the little daughter of DR.. R. A. Fray
ser, who resides about four miles west of
the city, was bitten on the foot by copper
head snake on Saturday evening last, Just
after dark. The child had gone into the
store-room. adjoining the house to get some
salt for use, and being bare-footed at the
time, was struck in the dark by the reptile,
the poisonous fang entering just between
the two first tees of the foot. The child
cried out with pain, which brought the
family to the scene,. and in a very few mo-
ments the foot and leg had swollen to fear
full proportions. DR.. F. Immediately set to
work to counteract the influence of the venom
His treatment of the case is well worthy
of the attention of our readers generally.
He procured quantity of wild touch-me-
not, which he says grows plentifully in the
swamps, and can be gathered and preserved
for future use. With this and some whis-
key he made a strong decoction, giving to
the child half common tumblerful, and
also bound apoltice of the touch-me-not on
the wound. Under this treatment the pa
tient soon began to recover; and this morn
ing when the Doctor left home for the city,
she was regarded as out of danger. After
the child was bitten the snake was found in
the stoie-house and killed.

DEPARTURE OF VIRGINIA ENTER
PRIsE.--The hull of the new iron steam
ship Richmond, recently launched at Rock
-etts, the half-fnished monument of Vir-
ginia enterprise, was hauled off to Will
mington, Delaware, by tug boat of the
Baker Wrecking Company yesterday,
where she will be completed, and hereafter
proclaim the enterprise Of other people
other than our own. While we do not
fail to admire the energy and liberal use Of
money manifested in the operation of the
Old Dominion line of steamships, we can
not cease to regret the lack Of enterprise
and liberalty on the part of our own peo-
pie, which has caused the abandonment of a
work which promised so much good to the
whole State, and especially to the leading
cities of Virginia. "a,
As might have been expected, when all
competition was removed, we are told
that the rates of freights from the north
have already been advanced, and the prices
now exceed those charged by the boats of
the late Virginia steamship and packet COM
pany. 1t thus appears that tho promise
which is said to have been given that low
rates would be maintained, amounts to
nothing, and still further advances may well
be apprehended by our merchants.

SENT ON FOR STEALING. = Nancy
Lewis, who has occupied the position of
servant in the family of Mr.. B. A. Halle
grove, was this morning sent before the
grand jury on the charge of stealing $50
from the promises of that gentleman.
The theft was committed about week ago,
and suspicion was centered upon her
because of her efforts to procure change
for large bank notes. The case was placed
in the hands of Captain John Disney, by
whom the woman was soon arrested, and
who also recovered over forty dollars of
the money, and some clothing for which
the remainer had been spent. The amount
of the theft coming within the statute the
accused was sent on to the grand jury for
indictment.

fire at 7:l0 this evening, and burned to the
waters edge. Her cargo comprised rags,
wool, merchandise, gasoline, &c. The
vessel and cargo are total loss. The cap
tain and crew escaped in boats, saving
nothing. The origin Of the fire is unknown,
but it is supposed to have resulted from
spontaneous combustion of wool, which
produced an explosion of gasoline. The
loss will not exceed $75 900.

People for stowell-The Candidacy of John
r.. Popham.
PETERSBURG, Sept. 2, 1872.
To the Editor o. the State Journal:
That the Republicans of Dinwiddie are
alive to the important political issues of the
day, is fully evinced by the fact that
three political meetings were held IN that
county on Saturday last-one at Ford.s
depot, on the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
railroad one at Big Bethel, in the south
western part of the county, and one at
Mitchell's, about six miles from Peters,
burg.
At the first meeting about two hundred
people were present, and were addressed
by Mr.. Thos. Bosseau, who presided, and
by Hon. Joseph P. Evans, of this city.
The meeting was in full sympathy with
Hon. Mr.. Stowell, the regular nominee for
Congress.
The next meeting was addressed by
Lewis Lindsey, of Richmond, and A. @.
Winston, of Dinwiddie, for Mr.. Porter,
and Hon. John N. B. Matthews, of this
city, for Mr.. Stowell. AT the conclusion
of the discussion vote was taken, and
only three out of the hundred present were
found to endorse the bolter. All the
others declared for the regular nominee.
The third meeting was addressed by DR..
Green, of Brunswick, and Alfred Hill, of
Petersburg, for Mr.. Porter, and r. G.
Greene, Of Petersburg, for Mr.. Stowell.
The result of this meeting, though no for
NAL vote was taken, was about the same as
at the Big Bethel meeting. Cheers were
given for the different candidates, and by
the sound only four or five or less were for
Porter, while the overwhelming sentiment
of the audience was for Mr.. Stowell. So
much for Dinwiddie and you will find,
Mr.. Editor, that my review of the situation
made in my last letter will prove to be cor
rect as to the entire district, though l think
perhaps | was little too cautious, and
gave Porter more than his due. H.
Our papers contain this morning the
" card - of Colonel John r. Popham, an
nouncing himself as an " Independent Re-
publican candidate for Congress from this
district" Well, have said what thought
of it. He has made his bed SO let him lie
in it. He is butting his head against a
stone wall, and if he butts too hard the
only effect will be to butt his brains out.
While we cordially welcome Colonel Pop
ham to our city, we confess We don't yet
understand this move; and while he may re-
ceive warm welcome as man, he must
not be surprised if he gets the cold shoulder
from Republicans in the matter of his Con-
gressional aspirations. "a

EFFECTS OF THE BLAsTING.-The
blasting in the tunnel beneath Church Hill
produces many visible effects on the surface.
The effect in some places has been similar
to that of an earthquake, and has caused
considerable alarm and uneasiness among
the more timid residents. On Twenty
eight street, between Broad and Marshall,
there are evidences Of slight settling of
the earth. 1t is the opinion of the city en-
gineer, officially expressed, that these exhi-
billions afford no Just cause for alarm.

General sIckles to Remain in Madrid

Washington, September Recent ac-
counts from Spain show that friendly feel
ings exist between Minister Sickles and the
Spanish Government, which has repeated
the request that he remain in Madrid as our
representative. Therefore, his letter Of
recall will not be presented.
General Sickles continues to press upon
the Government the views of the Depart
ment of State with regard to the abolition
of slavery in Cuba and Porto Rico.
1t will be rccollected that nearly two
years ago Gen. Sickles urged in his letter
to Mr.. Sagasta that the policy of political
and administrative reform in Cuba is best
calculated TO restore peace to that island
and promote its prosperity, and repre-
scented the solicitudo felt by the Govern
ment Of the United States that the prelimi-
nary act Of the Cortes may no longer be
Withheld from the limited class of persons
contemplated in it's benevolent design.
The Spanish Government has again ex-
pressed its desire to give full effect to the
decree for the gradual abolition of slavery.

LOCAL MATTERS.

YOUTHFUL BARN BURNERS.-Two
half-grown colored boys named Jim Brooks
and Robert Taylor, were arrested about six
O'Clock yesterday evening, by Capt. John
Disney of the second police station, charged
with setting fire to and burning the barn of
Mr.. G. A. Robinson, near the city, in q
northeast direction. The boys made full
confession Of their guilt TO the officer after
they had been taken in charge. 1t is sur.
missed that they were out on foraging ex-
petition generally. When near Mr.. Robin
sons barn, as they state, one Of them
struck a match to light cigar. His COM
panion told him to stick the blazing brand
into the barn through hole or crack in the
side. Some slight opposition was offered
to the proposition, but the suggestion was
nevertheless followed, and the match
thrown in. Il fell into the dry straw
of the grain with which the barn
was filled, and the whole building
was soon in flames. This occurred about
two O'Clock yesterday afternoon. There
were no means at hand, and no one to use
them if there had been any. to offer any re-
sistance to the flames and the fortunate
circumstance alone that the wind was not
blowing in the direction of Mr.. Robinson's
house, saved that building from destruc-
ton. The barn and contents were entirely
consumed. The loss will amount to about
81, 200. AS soon as the boys saw that the
combustible material in the barn had ig-
nited, they ran with all their might and
reached the city, but were soon captured
by Capt. Disney. They were arraigned
before Justice Crew this morning, and after
an investigation, sent before the grand
jury now in session at the City Hall.

CoLoRED Sons OF TEMPERANCE
Charles P. McCabe, G. W. P. of Virginia,
has issued charter and books to colored
men of this State, duly organizing them as
Sons of Temperance. This is the first
time, we believe, that colored men have
been chartered by any grand body of the
State. Two colored men Of this city went
to Leesburg and received the work and
charters a few days ago. There seems to
be revival of the temperance excitement.
Mr.. McCabc resides in Leesburg, and was
elected to the place he now fills in the
Grand Order at the last session of the
Grand Division.

Another Collision on the Sound.

Providence, September 1.-The steamer
Narragansett, from New York for Stoning-

the Sound on Saturday night at IL O'Clock.
The engines ofthe steamer had been reversed,
and hence the shock did but slight injury.
The Captain of the steamer charges the
schooner with suddenly and improperly
changing her course.
