BEECHER ON SUMNER.--A number of
New York clergymen alluded last Sunday
in their pulpits to Charles Sumner. Mr..
Beecher said that he died in the right place,
though somewhat later than the right time.
Had he passed away three years ago, not
one ray would have been lost, and many
shadows would have been avoided. No
son nor daughter he sal incurred beside tn
bier of the deceased, but tears rolled down
million dusky cheeks. He had lived
well. He had died well. He joined himself
to whatever was best in his time, and now
he was with God. He held official place
unsullied. Once he naively remarked
"People speak of Washington as being
corrupt. l have lived there many years
and l baye seen no corruption" "And h,
had not" sad Mr.. Beecher, "no corrur
ton dared approach him."

JUDGE BLACK yesterday, before the
joint Congressional committee, told an
anecdote not generally known of the stern
will and good common sense of President
Jackson. Charges were made in general
terms by Henry A. Wise upon the floor
of the House of Representatives in 1886
of corruption and maladministration in
the War department The House passed
resolution appointing committee to in.
yestgate the charges, and gave them power
to send for persons, books, and papers.
President Jackson declared that no man
in the employ of the government should
be subject to any such demand unless
specific charges were made. Wise after.
wards made specific charges under oath
and the accusations were proven ground

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
You published a little story in late
issue portraying the severe virtue OF q
New York drummer. l have some ac-
quaintance with that useful class of socie-
ty, and my knowledge leads me to doubt
the truth Of the story. Cold sweat broke
out over him, indeed Sand skunk away

New York drummer probably quoted the
old adage about following the Romans, and
postponed the stocking-feet feat until

VIRGINIA OPERA-HOUsE.- Tonight
the "Wallace Sisters" supported by a
first-class burlesque and comedy company,
appear at the Opera.house in the play of
"Aladdin, or the Wonderful Scamp"
The Norfolk Virginian, in speaking Of o
performance in that city, says "We were
agreeably surprised last evening to find
that the reputation Of this troupe induced
a large number of our people to brave q
drenching rain to see their opening per-
Torrance. And those who did so were
fully repaid, for it is but seldom that a
performance was so much enjoyed as the
shouts of applause proved this to be. The
company exhibited none of the listless-
ness which might have been expected
after a ride of twenty-three hours
in a freight train from Raleigh,
which would have been excus.
able under the circumstances, but were as
lively as crickets, and seemed to them
selves to enjoy the entertainment they
we're furnishing for others. The sisters
are piquant and sparkling, and in their
songs and dances fairly took the house by
storm. Lew Spence is the embodiment
of fun, and Messrs. Fortescue and John
son, as the W,doa0 TWanky and the Viz,er
in Aladdin showed themselves to be cap
ital comedians. This burlesque was splen-
didly put upon the stage, and was most
heartily enjoyed. Tonight we will have
the farce, turn Him Out to be fol-
lowed by the burlesque of The Field of
the Cloth of Gold.'n

GOLD MINING IN VIRGINIA.-A gen
tleman of experience in the pursuit o.
the yellow metal in this state, writing from
Chapel Hill, Fluvanna county, thus details,
with other interesting matter, some OF the
difficulties lying in the way of those dis
posed to engage in the development of the
particular mineral referred to. He says
For nearly twenty years have been en-
gagged in working the gold mines Of Vir-
gina, and exploring the state for same.
Have made many discoveries of the pre-
cious metal, and added to the currency of
the country many pounds of bullion. Gold
mining in Virginia, up to the present age,
has not been very profitable business to
all parties who have been engaged in
it. simply because they have not been
strictly governed by experience, industry,
and economy. Under the low prices of
labor and the great difficulty on the part
of many laboreis to obtain employment,
god.mining here could be made to pay
well, and give wo k to large number Of
sufferers. To-day am operating upon
mine in Goochland county, making some
gold, and giving work to those who would
otherwise suffer for bread. This is good
mining district, and many valuable mines
are standing idle, which, if placed under
the supervision of experience, energy, and
economy, would yield we'll and pay hand
somely. Here the question arises,
why is it they are not in opera
ton? In answer to this question,
I'll state that the owners of these mines
have not the energy to work them, and if
an energetic Northern gentleman who has
had the good fortune to accumulate bulk
of greenbacks comes here with view OF
investing in this property and converting
his paper into gold, he is bluffed by the
enormous prices asked him, and he leaves
for other quarters. 1t is to be hoped that
these fellows, who want all and are not
willing to work for it, will soon see their
error and yield to the honor, judgment and
efforts of those who are striving to develop
the material wealth of our good old coun-
try,n

CAMPBELL,s STATION ITEMS

Miss Minnie Stanley arrived in our
village on the 10th inst. She is going to
make her future home with her sister
in-law, Mrs. John 4. Stanley. Miss
Minnie came through from Canada to
this place in twenty seven hours. Fiji
ty years ago il would have taken twice
as many days. As fast as one can trav-
FL the present generation is not sltis>
fed with it. In the next half century
man may be flying over the earth at
speed as far ahead of the way that trav-
cling was done fifty years ago.
Mr.. Asbury Hays, who has been liv-
ing on the farm of John l.. Cline, two
miles south of this place, went to the
hog pen of Mr.. Jack Fleming, last Mon
day night, the 7th inst, aud took out
one of his hogs, killed and cleaned it,
ard slowed it away i'll the loft of his
cabin. Mr.. Fleming missed his hog,
and took out search warrant, and
found the meat in Mr.. Hays possession.
Mr. Hays acknowledged to the theft.
Failing TO give bond he was sont to
jail. lie says one Charley Grisby, col,
helped hin 10 gteal the hog. There be-
ing 10 proof against Charley outside of
Hays, he was released.
As military man would say, our
:armeTs are about ready to go into wins
ter Quarters-crOps all gathered, wheat
sowed aud the hogs killed. Some will
DO forced into winter quarters without
enough supplies to do them through
the winter.
Messrs. SOwell q Craig, in connection
with their store, are going to put up
wagon and blacks smith shop. They will
haYe their shop in running order by the
first of January. These are first-clasS
young men, and any business they I'M
dertake will be well attended to.
Elder L. p. Fraser preached his last
sermon the second Sunday, at the Chris
tian Church il this place, for the year
1874. The burtEen OF his sermon was to
Christians; how they should conduct
themselves SO they might be called
peculiar people, His remarks on
temperance were fine. They were ap-
plicable to both saint and sinner The
cOngre cation have made arrangements
with Mr.. Fraser 10 preach next year.
He will not commence preaching be-
fore March, his health being somewhat
delicate, and he does not wish to preach
during the winter months.
Mr.. Green Fleming and Miss Amanda
DOdsOn were married on the 10Th inst,
at the residence of the brides father,
near DodsOn Gap in Giles county.
Mr.. John Z. Campbell, who taught
the public school at Pleasant Grove
Academy last year, was married to Miss
Anna Wade on the 10th, near Florence,
Alabama.
There seems to be a great demand for
houses, especially among the poor class.
Men who have large families, and their
daily supplies depend upon their daily
labor, certainly will have hard time of
it until another crop is made. Provis>
ions at starvation prices and labor low.
Men who profess to be Christians will
now have fine opportunities to test
their Christianity, and whether it is that
sort that will cause them to act upon
the Golden Rule.
