Tur Pprs,nrxr Ann Coz. MosBY.-

A Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald has the following;
''Col. Mosby met the President tor
the first time Friday since the election.
Both being in favor of third term'
thew sat down and discussed matters
for an hour. The congressional candid
ate in Mosby's district, Mr.. Barbour,
who was to vindicate the thlrd term
policy, was beaten by Gen. Hunton,
democratic member of the present Con
gress, who said the people OF Virginia
! were Internationally opposed to third
term. But this did not discourage the
President nor his Virginia visitor
Both agreed that Casarism had moth
mo to do with the result, and his Ex-
cellencv was more convinced than ever
of the policy of keeping silent. There
are those who think and say in the Pres
ident's presence that his friendship for
Mosby does not inspire respect among
the soldier element of the Union army.
The President replies by appointing ad-
ditional friends of Mosby to office, of
which fact the colonel, Friday, had
substantial evidence. More thar that,
the President intends visiting Col. Mos
by at his home in Wawenton in few
DAYS. This shows how much President
Grant cares for public opinion and the
voice of the press.
"SwvEL RITES" IN DoDDRIGE.-The
! West Union Observer informs us that
on the opening OF the High School at
that place a few days ago, the children
of the African persuasion marched into
the building, and took their seats with
the white pupils. There was "hell up"
in that Academy for few moments,
and the teachers found it necessary to
dismiss the school until the Commission
ers should assemble and relate whether
OF not the ''Swivel Rites Bill had yet
passed. The Commissioners positively
declared that they had not yet heard Of
it: and they kindly, but very emphatic
ally invited the wards of the nation
to "git. And they got" 1t should
be understood that separate school
had been provided for the darkies, but
they had beeninformed that in accor-
dance with the provisions Of the ''Swivel
Rites Bill" they might attend the school
with ode white bredren. So we COL

cumstances. under which DR.. Jacob ID.

distressing. Whilst ne and his adopted
son, Mai. J. d. Williamson, were re-
turning from the election on last Tues
dav, near Madison Vests, Rocking

with large drove of cattle. One of the
cattle ran against the shaft Of the We
hicle. and broke it off; the horse became
frightened and ran, breaking the other
shaft off, and finally precipltatcd both
the doctor and the Major to the ground.
The doctor was taken up with his thigh
broken, and he was otherwise injured.
The Major was considerably Jared
and stunned but not seriously hurt.
They were taken home, and Drs.
Uenkcl and Rice were called in and
adjusted the fracture, and rendered the
other necessary medical aid.

!. d. Williamson departed this life, at
his residence near New Market, Va, in

accommodating, as a public officer, faith
fiji and devoted, and as counsellor,
reliable and safe. He had wide intlu-
encc. and a large number of devoted
friends. He is now gathered home to
his fathers, full of years, TO dwell in the
realities Of eternity.-Ne'0 Market,
