If there has been in all Virginia
one journal which more than al
others has been outspoken on the
rail roads question which has been
the cause of discussion among con-

the anticipated dissensions in our

RUSSELL Co. VA,
Aug. IL. 1873

Mr.. EDITOR:
Onr Circuit Court closed 70 dav
after session of ten days, during its
sttings, several old and important
clses were disposed of. The one
which perhaps attracted most atten-
ton was that of the Commonwealth
VS.. Stephen West. negro charged
with having committed rape upon
the person of Rebecca Meade, a girl
aged about IS years, and said to be
of respectable parentage, the Com
mODwealth was represented by Judge
W. II. Burns in one of his ablest
efforts. And the criminal defended
by two of the younger members of the
Bar, Capt. J w. NJ Brown, Mr.. Con-
nally Trigg. 1t being most aggra-
waited case of rape according to the
evidence, the verdict of the Jury,
fixing his term of confinement 10 the
SAFE prison for twelve years, tells
how well he was defended. The term
however has been closed with large
number of cases untouched. and it is
a matter of doubt whether we have
not jumped cut of tie frying pan into
the fire in making this new departure
in our judiciary,
Our people though disappointed in
not getting Col. r. L, Withers the
first place upon the State Ticket,
will readily acquiesce in the nomina-
tions made, and in November, you
may expect rousing majority from
Russell for Kemper. Withers & Co.
The crops Of oats, rye, corn and
grass were never better than the pres
ent year, consequently cattle, and
mules are looking well, by the way
Russell is departing from her sister
counties of The blue grass section of

WITHERS AT WYTHEVILLE
First Gun of the GubernatOrial
Canvass-Speech of Col.
Withers.
Yours truly,
DAVID MILLER.
From the Richmond Dispatch.J

WYTHEvILLE, August 1.-THE first
gun of the gubernatorial canvass was
fired tonight, and the Conservatives
Of the Southwest are thoroughly
aroused. 4 large and enthusiastic
crowd of the citizens of Wythe county,
accompanied by a brass band, assem-
bled in front ofthe Hancock House.
In response to repeated calls for Col.
Withers, General " iiliam Terry ap-
peared and announced the result of the
recent Conservative Convention. The
names Of the candidates were received
with rapturOus applause; and after
most fiattering recommendation of the
nominees, introduced the gallant
Withers, our candidate for Lieutenant
Governor.
Colonel Wlthers commenced by con-
graduating the party on the auspic-
ious prospects of success in The coming
canvass cOntrasted the condition of
Virginia under Cons ervative rule with
that of every Southern State wnici had
passed into the hands Of the Radicals;
recalled to recollection the sadeXperi-
ence of Virginia when negroes. scala
wags, and carpetbaggers held sway,
and held up the Underwood Constitu-
ton as a sample of the character of
legislation desired by the Radical par
ty. He next took Up the Hughes
speech at Lynchburg, and showed how
its whole spirit and tenor was lauda-
tory Of the negro at the expense of the
white man that it was an avowed ac-
ceptance of the issue of race in the
coming contest. and committed him
and his party to negro equality, not
only civilly and politically, but also
socially exposed his specious sophis-
try. laid bare and denounced his falsi-
fications of fact, and held him up to
public scorn and reprobation as a TO-
saenter of civil strife, as skulker from
military duty, and recreant to all the
principles in which he had been reared
and for which he had so long contend
ed with pen and tongue. He conclu-
ded with strong appeal to all Conser-
natives, all lovers of Virginia, all white
men who desire to- retain control ofthe
State government, to buckle on their
armor and go forth to the contest.
Speeches were made by Colonel Rob-
ert Kent, Colonel Frank s. Blair, AID
others, and the rapturous applause
with which they were received showed
the Conservatives of the Southwest
unit in support ofour ticket.

be so that Col. Hughes was q delegate
from Va. to the Seymore and Blair,

of 1872 and he did not deny it. There

Col. Hughes would appeal to the code

a mere personal hrawl between HIM

How Wilcox was Killed

PATToNsvILLE, SCOTT Co., Va.
August 18th, 1873.
Mr.. EDITOR,
DeIg' Sir Il see a statement in your
last paper, relative to the murder OF
Fayette Wilcox in Scott County which
does not give the true state of the case.
| was at Estillvilic and heard the evil
dence which disciOseS the following
safe of facts. a party were at a
neighbOring house threshing whea3,
and the young WilcoXes and Vine
yard were there, and all were friend
ly. After the threshing was over the
Young WilcoXes went home and armed
themselves and returned and arrest
ed Vineyard on United States war
rant, they having the warrant with
them. their father as | am informed
being United States Deputy Mar
shall. Vineyard attempted to escape
and was shot in The hand by the de-
ceased Wilcox, Vineyard then got
hoid of his Vineyards pistol and ran
up stairs and shot one of the young
WilcoXes through a crack of the house,
killing him instantly, and the other
two WilcOXes left. 1t appears to have
been Il surprise to every one present.
The father of the young Wilc0xes was
Deputy Z. 5. Marshall. and had Civ
en- his sons authority to arrest Vine
yard, he being from home at the time.
The company resent were arrested up
on a States warrant as accOIhpliceS,
bat were discharged by the justices as
t did not appear that they were in any
way implicated in the affair.
l understand Vineyard has been in
dicted by the grand jury at Es,illville,
and a Bench warrant is in the hands
of the Sheriff. 1t does not appear from
the evidence heard. that any body
was engaged in the affair except Che
young WilcOXes who claimed to be
acting under United States authority,
and Vineyard who shot young Wilcox.
Vineyard is still at large, and has not
been arrested. You can correct the
report made in your last from this
statement.
Yours truly,
DAVID MILLER.

A CARD.


DRH. @. A. BOYER, having per
IL manentiy located himself in Bristol,
Tenn, offers bis professional services to the
public for the treatment of all diseases pc
culiar to Women and Children. Having
made this branch of his profession speci-
atty for nearly twelve years, and the general
success attending it, has induced him to con-
fdentl assure all who may place themselves
under ais care, the most approved methods
of treatment now known TO the profession.
He intends no disparagement in saying that
no physician can arrive at distinction in the
management of those diseases unless his
whole time and attention is given to their
investigation and :tudy. Many of them be-
ing peculiar IN their nature, delicate to in
vestizate. and consequently difficult to under
stand, makes it quite essential that the en-
tire thosghts of the practitioner should be
engrosssd with the subject. Ladies living
at a distance who are afflicted with CHRONIC
AFFECTIONS will be received int his house,
and placed in the care of HE wife, who will
see to their general comfort, through good
nurses, regulated diet, &C., at cheaper rate
than they could be visited far in the country.
Should any however have friends in town
and prefer being with them, the same medi-
cal attention will be given them rs if they
were in his own house. Married ladies can
confde in the good treatment Of the Doctor
in all cases, and under all circumstances.
