PROSPERITY OF SrAUNToN "A correspon-
dent of the Norfolk, Va, Journal writing
from this city say:
Staunton is decidedly the most progress
sive place I have happened on for long
time. At the end of the war she had pop
ulation of about 1000, which is now in
creased to upwards of 1000. The institu-
tons for the deaf, dumb, and blind, the lu-
natic asylum, together with five large fe-
male schools, throw at least million Of dol
lars into circulation in the city. In addition
to this the iron business is being rapidly de.
veloped in its vicinity. Immense capital
has been invested in that interest here in
the last few years, one man alone having
invested 100000. just on the suburbs
Of the city bed of the finest ore has been
recently discovered, and has been leased
from the owners by wealthy party Of cap.
ita!ists on large royalty.

THE TWO STATE CONVENTIONS,

The popular meetings held for the ap-
pointment of delegates to the swo State
nominating conventions, show pretty clear
~ who the fight is to be between in the
State election in Virginia. In the Conserv-
alive conventions, we find the names of the
real people of the State-take as Alpemarle
for instance. There the delegates are such
men as DR.. Jno r. Woods, S. V. South.
all, B. H. Magruder, R. 7. Duke, Jno. J.
Bowcock, G. Hill and NJ. D. Hart, men
whose characters would have influence in
any representative body. And then look
at the assemblage Of negroes, with scatter
ing Of white men at Campbell G. H., calling
itself a Republican" convention, which ap-
pointed six delegates, Of whom three were
negroes. Among the scenes during its de-
alterations, was that Of negro named Kel
SO, of Lynchburg, denouncing white mem
Der of the meeting as "a slanderer, liar,
and villain" And it was this "conven-
ton" that instructed its delegates to vote
for Hughes. At another convention held
in Bedford county, by the negroes with a
fringe Of whites, resolution was adopted,
instructing its delegates to vote for "Robt.
W. Hughes, or any other true and tried
Republican" Evidently the negroes don't
want an "independant" candidate, for at the
Campbell convention, when the negro Kel.
SO was accused by Federal Office holder OF
favoring the "claims" of Henry A. Wise,
he exclaimed Indignantly. "what, support
Henry A. Wise, the man who murdered
John Brown, who was the first to endeavor
to give me my freedom ? Never never !.
never !! v' The negroes want to rule the
roast and they ought to, for they compose
the party.

Before the war, in the gold-mining regions

marry Jack, slave, and in order to have
everything pleasant, she put her hand in

But she was shrewd enough to take bill

TOT Jack turned out to be utterly worthless,

She owned her man, and she simply sold
