IFrom the Petersburg News.l

The burning in "effigy" in Blandford
was the act OF few young men-gentemen,
if you ptease-who were carried away by
the excitement and passion of the moment,
without the knowledge Of one-iftieth of our
people, and who in their serious moments
will regret and frankly confess their error.
Any other improperly that may possibly
have been committed by letter or otherwise
was not with the sanction or knowledge of
the sober citizens of this city. Petersburg
knows as we'll how to deport herself
in adversely rs she has ever shown
herself capable of doing in pros
perity, and we do not intend that
any individual excess, however erroneously
represented. shall ever diminish public
sympathy" or public respect for our city
and people. Neither do we intend that il
shall ever defeat us in our ultimate purpose
Of recovering the government Of this city
and advancing the prosperity of our people.
Nor yet do we intend to disorganize the
Conservative party Of Virginia, and we in
tend that Petersburg shall have white
mans government, vetoes or no vetoes...
When we say this we speak what we dc
mean.

GENERAL KEMrER-NrRGINIA.-A number
of Congressman Of both political parties
have addressed letters to Governor kemper,
of Virginia, congratulating him upon the
veto of the Petersburg charter bill, and
thanking him for thus SUSTAINING the great
principle of local self-government. Some OF
the Republicans, especially, say in their let
tiers that his action cannot fail to result in
great good to the State. 1t will invite emf
gr,tion from the North, because people who
would like to 60 there now have an assn.

THE VEro.-We have not the slightest
doubt but that the Governor has acted from
a conscientious conviction of right and JUS
tice to all concerned, and we are induced to
the belief that the wisdom OF the veto Will
in future, be recognized and appreciated oy
those who have been SO hasty IN condemn
ing it entire.
we most deeply sympathize with the good
people Of Petersburg, and we lament That IN
the hour of their disappointment they per
mitted passion to take possession OF theti
reason. which excited them to indulge in ex
cpsses that we fear will return to plague
Them Fredericksburg Star.

Mr.. SUMMERS CoSDlTIoN AFTER BEING
CANED.-In the course Of DR.. Brown-St-
guards lecture on Nervous Diseases" de-
livered in Boston on Saturday evening last,
he thus alluded to his experiences with the
dead senator:
"When Mr.. Sumner first came under my
care he was suffering from arrangement OF
some tibres of the nerves. AS you all know,
be had received blow upon the head. His
spine, az he was sitting, was bent in two
places. His bent spine had produced the
effects of sprain, and when saw him in Paris
be had recovered altogether from the brst
effects of the blow. He bad then two trou-
bles. One was that he could not make use
of his brain at all. He could not read
newspaper or write letter. He was in a
fearful state. 1t seemed to him as if his
head would explode-as if there was some
great force in it pushing the parts away
from each other. Indeed, bis emotions were
fearful to me. Often in conversation, if any
thing was said that called tor any degree OF
deep thought, he suffered intensely imme.
diately, so that We bad to be extremely
careful with him. He had another trouble
of the same nature as regards external APP
pearances, but occupying another portion OF
the spine, and causing other symptoms. 1t
was sprain ut the level of the last dorsal
yertebra. The irritation there was intense,
and any motion was extremely hard. When
he walked he bad to push forward his right
foot and then his lett, holding on all the
while to bis back with both hands to relieve
the pain. It had been thought that he was
paralyzed as to his lower linus; it had been
thought that he had disease Of the brain,
and that was regarded as being the cause of
the paralysis OF the lower limbs. For
tunatcly the discovery made with regard to
the yaser-motor nerves led me at once 10 find
that be had no disease Of the brain and no
paralysis. He had only an irritation of the
voso-lnotor nerves at their exit from the
SPINE"

BRISTOL ON TIE VETo.-The general senti-
ment of the citizens of Bristol, as far as we
have been able to gather it, is that Governor
Kemper did right to veto the Petersburg
charter. Our people are unwilling to en-.
gage in special legislation at the expense OF
those general principles which have more
than once been our only bulwark against
party tyranny. Let Petersburg be governed
as other cities in Virginia are governed, or
some day this special sword may be turned
against our own vitals.-Brislol Neaos.

for want OF requisite leisure TO decline for
the present an Invitation to leeture before

conveyed in letter written to Mr.. semnaes
by Darwin c. Payey, representing the post
mentioned.
MOBILE, January 81 1874.
Mr.. Dd'tcin G. Parey, Grand Army OF a'e
Republic: @ tt
Dear sir.-I am complimented by your
invitation to lecture In Rome, n. Y, in aid
Of the fund to procure tombstones for de.
ceased United States soldiers who lost their
lives in the late war between the States.
And you are kind enough to assure
me that the people Of Central New
York would treat me with hospital.
ty. thank you and them, and I
see no reason why, as citizens of the
same country who have had good rough
and.tumble fight, we should not make peace
and be friends when the fight is over, espe-
cially rs the fight has had the effect TO In
crease the respect which the one had for the
other. AS soldiers, at least, we can meet on
common ground. The living soldier always
mourns the dead ore after the heat OF the fray
is over, even though the dead one may have
died by his hand. Soldiers are not states
men. to decide the right and wrong Of q
Quarrel. Their duty is to their general and
their FLAG. Human nature was exalted and
adorned during our late war by many noble
soldiers on both sides, and true SOL
der cannot but drop tear over all such
who lost their lives in the quarrel;
and trust that the time is not far distant
when our children, at our tiresides. will read
the thrilling and romantic story OF the deeds
OF their ancestors without pausing to ask
themselves, when they come to the story OF
true knight, whether he wore the "blue or
the gray 1t should be enough for them to
know that he was an American citizen and
| true soldier. ~
Nothing would give me greater pleasure,
| assure you. than to make the acquaintance
| of my fclow-citizens of Central New York,
but shall have to deny myself the pleasure
for the present for want Of the requisite
leisure. Renewing my thanks TO you for
YOUR kind invitation, ! am, very respectfully,
yours, &c. RAPHAEL oEaaEs'

TREASURE TRovE. - The Washington
Chronicle Of the 18th says:
A few months since farmer residing on
the Potomac river, a short distance below
Mount Vernon, and whose name has mill
tary prefix. thinking our banks were becom-
ing "shaky," concluded to take from one OF
them the snug little sum OF $4,000, which he
had deposited short time previous. Find
ing that so large a SUM in the country was
like an elephant in glass case" he held 3
consultation with his wife, when it was agreed
that they should plant it in some obscure spot
on the farm which was scarcely ever travel
led, and where no one would be likely to
find it. So. in the darkness OF night,
with pick aud shovel in hsnd, they pro-
ceeded to beautiful spot under tree, and
| after digging q hole about two feet in depth
| deposited" the amount, composed of mo-
ney and Government bonds. Little did they
think, however, that their man9uvres were
| being watched by their overseer, named
Jesse Pollette, who, after the owner and his
| better half had left the farm for Washing
| ton. concluded that the "fertilzer" was
entirely too much for the soil. Accordingly
be dug it up, and hearing that fair eX.
change could be made in Newark, Ohio, he
started with his wife, Mary, on Western
tour. He got as far as this city, and after re-
gistering his name and that Of his wife at one
of our fa >hionable hotels suggested prom
enade in order to view the city OF
beautiful distances; but scarcely had be
strolled q block when he stumbled across
| Detective Coomes, who extended ts him a
| pressing invitation to accompany him to
police headquarters. This he consented to
| d. with all the dignity imaginable, and on
searching the would-be wool dealer SIS, 100
consisting of three $1,000 bonds, TWO $1,000
bills, and one 500 bil-Was found upon
! him. The military hero, who all this time
was unconscious Of what was transpiring,
vas at once summoned, and from the regis
tered numbers on the bonds fully identified
them as his own. Mrs. Pollette was fur
nished quarters at hotel, and her unlucky
husband locked up to await the action Of the
authorities of Virginia, as the offence was
committed in that State.
Pollette (who found the money! made no
denial Of taking the bonds from the estate,
| but said he had found them when digging
| the ground for gardening purposes. He was
released from custody at the request of Col
onel Daniels this afternoon, there being no
substantial case. as there was very grave
doubts about an intentional larceny. Col
onel Daniels is the editor of the State Jour-
nal, Richmond.
