The Virginia ModOcS.

A few days since, an account was
published Of the murder Of a celored
man named Bryant, who was walking
in the streets of Culpepcr, Va, by two
desperadoes named Jameson and
Williams. II appeared that the ruff
fans wanted to take the mars daugh-
ter, who was willing TO 60 with them,
away from him in the street, and
when be resisted, they cut bis throat
from ear to ear. He died two days
after. A letter to the Warrenton,
Va, "Index" says:
These desperadoes are still at large,
and with six others are regularly en-
camped on TIE spur Of a mountain q
few miles South of the town, with
which they have communicated
through their emissaries. They keep
a sentinel regularly posted to prevent
a surprise whilst they spend their time
at draw-poker. They have plenty to
eat and drink, which they procure
from neighboring citizens, on whom
they make acquisitions, as will be
seen BY the following. from which it

Marshall College.

1t is to be regretted that the closing
exercises of Marshall College attract
ed SO little attention from our citizens
notwithstanding, notice was given il
both Of the city papers.
The examinations commenced Mon
day morning and continued unit
Wednesday evening, and so far as We
were capable of judging, evincef
thoroughneSS and a disposition on the
part of the teachers to condemn the
superficial training, so common in ON
schools. Where many consider the an
nouncement that there were no gradu'
ates as an unfavorable indication, we dc
not so regard it, but on the contrary
rather think it betokens a higher grade
of scholarship, and the assurance that
when diplomas are granted, they will
be in truth and fact, what the founders
of our Normal school contemplated in
their organization and what the diploma
itself represents. To those who are
disposed to complain that our College
had no commencement exercises, We
have only to say consider for a moment
the condition of the Free schools in
this congressional district, and the
demand for professional teachers and
the inducements that are offered Mar
shall College students, to take charge
Of our 'ree schools, and this too when
they have only partially completed the
course; and it is not surprising that the
studies of so many are broken, and
that new ones are continually taking
the places Of those engaged in teaching
without having diplomas. Our people in
estimating the influence of our State
Normal school overlooked the great
number of undergraduates that are now
engaged in the work of teaching, and
by comparing the humber of graduates
with the number of teachers employed
in the State form unjust comparisons
and 50 far influence public opinion as

threatens to overthrow these schools

this Institution worthy of our fostering

ETC.

Nowhere in the known world do PEG
pie possess such elasticity of spirit, and
show such energy of purpose and deter
mination to succeed, as do the residents
of our own inland towns and cities. Look
ing around at the destruction caused by
our late calamity, with the smoke from
the ruins of costly buildings i%mpregnat-
ing the air, and assailing the nostrils Of
former owners, men talk as hopefully
and confidently of the future as though
no disaster, bringing such a loss of labor
and energy as it has cost all to build up
their little fortunes, had ever occurred.
We see men busily at work scraping off
the burnt fragments left by the fire from
their premises. and mechanics steadily
saving and hammering away on new
buildings or repairing old ones, causing
more activity and hustle on the Main
street than we have seen for many a day.
Among the buildings to be erected, and
in course of erection, we notice Morris &
Ballenberg's stables, on the corner of
Main and Hamilton streets +; T. G. Starr,
painter /; j. Green, restaurant; P. A.
Wagner, repairing his fre-proof !; DR..
Armitage, druggist H. H. Kirchner, of
Perry's saloon /; Smith Bros, saloon A.
jackson, hotel and lodging house /; R.
Sadler, successor to A. Mau & Co., whole
sale grocers Pramenko, fruit dealer
Henry Mau & Co., liquor dealers Marco
Medin, liquor dealer +; j. Fl. Lockwood.
harness maker R. Hyman, clothing and
dry goods, and last, but not least, our
friends Jake Belrude and o. L. Scott,
who are busily engaged in erecting a
wholesale lodging house for persons of the
Monaghan race. We may have omitted
the names of some of those who intend
to build, and if so, shall be pleased to
add them at any time. All this shows
confidence in our future, and deserves
commentator from all who know the
tremendous losses suffered by every n
whose names We have given above. One
cheering feature thus far. is the unanim-
ity of the merchants below, who had
been furnishing customers here, and who
now will be forced to extend the time of
payment until circumstances enable debt
ors to settle. In several instances we
have been shown letters from dealers in
San Francisco containing, beside an offer
for more goods, expressions of sympathy
for the losses sustained by their custom
ers. This is a spirit which is certainly
commendable, showing as it does, the
kindest feelings Of human nature under
a hard business exterior. We have faith
in our future, and are becoming con-
WINGED daily that out of the darkness and
clouds now lowering over our devoted
will come light and clear skies. We
snould all learn a lesson by the late dis
-ster, and be more willing to help one
another while prosperous, that we may
find assistance when disaster and ruin
overtake us.

FROM CHERRY REX.

From Joe Grandlsmeyer just returned
from Cherry Greek and vicinity, we
gather many items Of interest, among
which we CLEAN the following: All the
mines in that section are looking well
including the Geneva, Tea Cup and
others, and are being vigorously worked
by their respective owners. Some speci-
mems shown us are exceedingly rich in
gold aud silver and. being taken from a
considerable depth below the surface,
are surely indicative Of future richness
and extent Of the mines from which they
are extracted. Old Phoebe miners and
operators, among whom are A. q. Haga-
don and Charles Hoffman, declare the
formation and general appearance Of the
whole country to be a facsimile Of that
district. There are now from three hum
dred to four hundred people in the camp,
mostly miners, with the necessary num-
Der of stores, etc., and building is carried
on increasingly. Every day brings addi-
tons to the population, and all seem
enthusiastic in regard to the future.
Among the operators there we may name
Gashwiler, whose fame is well established
al a mining operator of considerable
ability, coming from success in previous
operations. With all the indications of
a bright and prosperous future, however,
the owners of locations at Cherry Creek
seem to be stumbling over the same
block which has broken so many of their
predecessors financial necks, which is
the enormo and u~nwarrantable values
upon mere prospect holes when
investors visit them with the view of
purchase. The fallacy Of this name of
holding on to undeveloped mining prop
critics has certainly been sufficiently ven-
to cause prospectors to realize the
fact that many men of means are deferred
from even examining mines with a view Of
purchase from this fact; and when reason
values are placed upon their dis
,overies, the earlier will the enormous
wealth contained in tho mountains of
Nevada be uncovered, and made
20 work out the future of the whole
State. One sale at reasonable figures,
one success made, n company satisfied
their property, will do more to en-
rich everybody interested, by giving the
world confidence in the mines,
han by any other plan which can be adop-
ed. We hope that the promising dis
.rict Of Cherry Creek will not be set back
On account Of extortionate and unreason-
able demands on the part of mine
owners, as has been the case all over the
country.

Observation-Disclosures reaches us
that Hon. Delos R. Ashley, whom all
remember as possessing one Of the bright
est intellects ever known in Nevada, is
lying hopelessly paralyzed at San Fran
cisco. He was probably the best and
most popular lawyer on the coast, and
the sad affection will cause sincere regret
among his many friends and acquain-
tances.
