Z. S. SENATOR FROM VlRGlNlA.-Thc
Richmond correspondent Of the Petersburg In
dex and Appeal says: The u. S. Seuato rshlp,
the seat to be vacated by Senator Lewis and
which the next Legislature will fill, has Tor
several weeks past been Il subject Of co1sldera-
ton among politicians, and 1t Is undcDia1'e
that there has already been pipe-aylog by the
friends of some of the prominent Candidates.
Senator Hunter is being strongly urged upon
probable members of the Legislature aud Troy.
Walkers name is also freely canvasSed. 1t is
stated that in Richmond u ticket known to be
favorable to one of these candidates will be
brought forward for the House of Delegates,
and one at least of the Senators from this dis
trict is known to be positively committed to the
same candidate. But no man will walk over
the course. There is u general feeling that we
have too long been represented in Congress- by
men of mere mediocre ability, and Virginia
can easily send to the United States Senate
one who will reflect credit upon the State and
take the position which representative Of the
Old Dominion should have in that body. Be
sides those mentioned, above Ould, Withers,
Kemper, Stuart, Staples and others, will yet
be brought out and surely no representative
should connect himself to any body before he
knows who is III the field.

Mr.. r W. HUGHES, the Radical candidate
for Governor of Virginia. in his speech in Nor
ltolk last Tuesday, Faid
"As to the second question propoundcd by
the Norfolk Virginian. asking him "ifhe favor
| ed mixed schools for white and negro children"
| he could state that the same question had been
| propountcd to him by Gen. Kemper, but in a
| different manner viz :: He was asked If he
was elected Governor Of Virginia, would he
veto bill establishing mixed schools. Asst had
been reported that he failed to answer the ques-
| ton at that time, and that he hung his head
when pressed to answer, he would now reply ::
When the question was propounded to him by
| Gen. Kempcr, he was in such a position that
he could not reply, unless he made himself very
conspicuous at the moment. But that he had
| intended to answer it that day at the proper
time but circumstances, however, had prevent
ed him from doing So He would say, that
he could not forget the prophecies of his posi-
| ton as prominent candidate for the office OF
| Governor, as also his belief that he would be
elected to that position, which would prevent
| him from replying to the question as propround-
ed by General kemper, by saying that he
| would or would not veto BILL If he did it
would be on his part gross breach of proprie-
| ty, and Gen. Kemper on reflection, would re-
cognize it as SUCH But he would say, that
when his views as man aud citizen were
| called for he would not hesitate to express
them. They were these: That be believed
that mixed schools would be the destruction of
the free school system, and that no Republican
Of any weight or Intelligence would advocate
that system. He never would, for he believed
it to be peruicious doctrine, that could only
result in the injury and death Of the public
schools of the State.

\ CAMP MEETING INCIDENT All sprts Of

through the Country roads in the neghborhood
Of the Sterling Camp Meeting. But the most
extraordinary pair that started for it aud starGl
ed the inhabitants as they passed, were met
in Lancaster, last Thursday morning, the great
day Of the camp y carryaIl with a large
strong looking gray horse appeared Oh the
high road with two youthful occupants, who
looked il contrast with their roomy equlpaCe
which they actually filled like two mice. 1t
seems that this couple appeared much to the
Amusement and CONSERVATION OF the neighbour
hood through which they passed and drove
stcadl!y by the houses OF their respective par
ents utter y regardless Of all efforts on the part
Of those who saw them and shouted to them TO
stop Their youthful ardor was not to be
daun;cd. They were going to Camp Meet
ing.
1t scems that the youthful cavalier in this
case was boy Of five years, and the girl three
and half. His mother had gone to camp
meeting, leaving him at home with his grand
mother, lady of the ripe age OF eghty-Scven.
He and the little girl went to nclghbor's
stable where his father was in the habit OF get
ting horses told the owner that his father sent
him for a certain horse, got it harnessed, and
taking his Dulcnca by his side, off he drove.
Before those anxious parents, who SO soon fol-
lowed, horse and foot, could oYertake the fu-
gitives, they were about mile on the way to
Sterling Camp Meeting, while as they return
ed safely guarded, the road was paetty we'll
lined with ncighbors, chiefly ladies, who having

ABsCONDED OR ABDUCTION: WHICH, On
last Saturday officer Charles Of the police corps
arrested a young lady Damed Miss Sallie Myers,
between fourteen and fifteen years of age in the
attempt to abscond. The tale Of indiscretion,
to say the least, is briefly told, as follows The
young lady's parents are dead and she has been
residing with her grand mother in this city. On
las, Tuesday she was missed from her home,
and the most diligent endeavors failed to elicit
apy intelligence of her whereabouts until Sat
urday, when information was received that she
was concealed on the schooner Austrado, one
of the vessels which attempted to leave the city
on Wednesday, but fortunately as the sequel
proved, became fixed on sand bar aud could not
get away Her grand mother caused her TO be
arrested and lodged in jail. When her detection
was made known to her, she made frantic en-
deavors to jump into the water, but was pre-
vented from doing SO by men on the boat. The
ca plain in vndication Of himself in the matter,
says that he was appealed to by the young lady
TO carry her to Baltimore, and finding that she
had no means of paying her way, gave her
TRANSFORMATION from the most benevolent mo-
tiyes, and that she was treated with the utmost
dccoruln and consideration by himself and others

A Terrible Domestic History

Yesterday morning Annie Martin
died, it is said, of starvation. The
husband has been out of work All
summer, and was in destitute cir
cumstances. About week AGO the
wife bore a child, and because ofnot
having the proper attention paid to
1t the child died two days after its
birth. The husband went aronnd
among his friends and collected q
sufficient amount of money to defrsv
the funeral expenses. He gave the
money to his mother-inlaW. Mrs
CosgroVe, with instructions to nro-
cure a coffin and other necessary
things. Instead Of doing this Ms.
CosgroVe is said to have purchased
aquantity Of whisky and oysters
with the money and got drunk. She
ls represented as having returned
home, and reeling up to bed, deman-
ded her dying daughter to get mn
and drink some of the whisky. and
gave utterance to such other remarks
as only drunken woman can. The
nelghbors hearing Of the case, went
to the dying Homan's assistance. fur-
nished her food and calling a physi-
clan, but it was to late; she was be-
yond the reach Of human skill, and
yesterday morning she died. Mrs.
CosgroVe last evening again got
drunk, and when she entered the
mousse and found a woman by the
name Of Bomgardner present she
struck her and knocked her over the
corpse. We understand that the
Coroner intends having an in7esti-
cation In the case.-Laneaster Pal
