Special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
Virginia and the Political CannPaian--
Position Of Senator Sumner.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Governor Walker,
of Virginia, is in town, and was on the floor
OF the House this afternoon in conversation
with many of the Democratic members. He
expressed the opinion that the Virginia dele
CATION would support Greeley and Brown in
the Baltimore Convention, and that the State
would ratity that nomination if made by the
Convention. The feeling among the men,
bcrS seems to grow stronger every day III
favor of allowing the Convention to decide
the great question Of such ratification with
out attemptin" to influence the result by
speeches and letters from members of the
party. Even among those opposed to adopt
ing the Cincinnati ticket, no special candl-
dates are talked about. unless possibly tn"
name of Judge Davis is now and then favor
ably mentioned The statement that he HIS
declined the Columbus nomination and IS
not in the field is denied on the best author
ity. Whether il will appear or not before
the Baltimore Convention is yet to be seen.
There has been some gossip to-day over
reported movement on the part of some OF
the Government senators to conciiate Dir.
Sumner and restore him to the chairman
ship of the Foreign Relations Committee.
His undecided position on the presidential
question, and his recent coalition with those
senators to defeat amnesty and pass the social
equality bill, have doubtless given rise to the
story. The Liberal Republicans, however,
find that while Mr.. Sumner is SO pronounced
against Grant, he is SO much i'll favor Of HIM
self that they have quito abandoned their
efforts to enlist his active support.

A crowd of southern congressman were

THE WRECK.
About seventeen miles from Norfolk pieces
OF timber. barrels Of tisl.. an,i other articles,
were seen ticatiHg III the canal, and few
hund,ru yards beyond large collection of
steamers showed the scene of the disaster.
Upon reaching it we found the wreck of the
Rotary. Il perfect milSS of broken timbers,
freight, &C., sunk in tho channel; her bow
almost against the eastern bank, while her
stern had swung round so us to clcctually
impede navigation, except by small crafts.
\ haSty glance showed that Il perfect
BLOCKADE
existed. there being 20 ln7s thai six steamers
bound down: With two or three bargcS and Il
inng iTit Of lumber.
SCENE OF HORROR.
The Rotary was a mass of ruins, her deck.
fore and aft, torn away. except a space of
perhaps twenty feet III the bow. her rent
boiler thrown backwards almost in the
stern, the engine blown entirely to atoms,
the s!nokcStaci lying over the side. while the
canal m:i> !ul! of floating dt11lS, consisting Of
freight, mattresses, and pieces Of the ioinrr'>
work of the CALM rilDthou>c, treight-hOu>c.
and deck, :! portion of the freight WAS
blown into the woods on the banks OF the
canal. while the yawl-boat, which had laid
alongside of the cabin, was found ut some
distance. portion OF it hanging to the limbs
OF il tree some fifty or sixty feet from the
ground. But The horrible sight WAS crowned
hy the view Of four
DEAD BODIES
living in the shade of al awning OH The cana
bank. These, Mr., William Walker. the en-,
gncer ri the boat. formerly of Currituck
county, \. c.; his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth
Walker. and their little girl, about three
wears oId and Mrs. Elizabeth Crane, sister
ot the engineer, and wife of Mr.. David
Crane, engineer ni IL drcdginc-machinc Il,
work in Hyde county. The bodies had been
carefully placed in becoming positions, theil
limbs Strengthened. and hands folded, but the
sight WAS nevertheless Il terrible one, and one
which we hope we may never look upon
again.
TIE WOUNDED
consisted of Captain Johnston. Of Ports
mouth. painfully wounded in the lee; and
the steward. William Bowser, painfully but
not seriously wounded i'll tho abdomen
Livery one on board WAS more or less shaken
and bruised by the explosion, but singularly
enough no one was scudcd by the steamer
except the steward, who had slight burn,
on his left arm.
REMARKS.
From all wc could gather on board Of the
Rotary and elsewhere there is no one to
blame for this irghttul casualty, or if there
was his lips are sealed, and he has paid the
penalty ot his indiscrCtion with his life. The
iirtlncn stated that. so far Us they knew.
nothing was amiss, and we can only record
it among the many unaccountable accidents.
The Tirgman excuses everybody, yet
a." here in the same article says:
The vessel had been aground The day be-
fore, but was pulled OIL by another steamer,
1t which time it was noticed that the boiler
Of the Rotary had crack in ii about an inch
and Il half in length.

The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1872-03-26
1.-The Mystery of the seven stars

1.-THE Mystery Of the seven stars"
was the text and subject of the Methodist
pulpit last Sabbath. LIST the preacher
gave a graphic sketch of the Punishment
of the apostle John to the Isle of Patmos
by the Emperor Domitian, and showed
how the wrath of man was turned TO
signal account for the benefit oil the cause
Of Christ; and that what seemed at the
time most unpropitious, was used to give
us that important book which closes the
sacred Canon. He next dwelt on the
Mystery" of the stars and showed that
as such no human understanding could
unravel them. But God had aud hence
contended that We had no reason to regard
tho Apocalypse a mysterious book, since
nothing in it was a mystery but what was
so called, and what was 80 called was re-
vealed. So that the book was revelation,
as its title asserts. He then proceeded to
