The ViRGINIUs..-.The sinking of the Vn'
sinius was a singular incident of the pro.
ceedings growing ont of the Cuban troubles.
She may be supposed to have been tempered
with by the Cubans. She had several feet
of water 10 her bold when she left Bahia
Honda, and encountering severe gales In her
voyage to her place Of destination In the
United States she became more and more
@aky until she was necessarily abandoned.
Az she has gone down in water shallow
enough TO expose her masts, she will be,
no doubt, raised again. But whether raised
or NOT, the :Yirgtnius is not gotten rid Of.

The Governors.

The Constitution OF Virginia dxes today
for the commencement of the term OF service
of the Governor elect, General hEApER, and
should the process OF counting the vote fol
Governor not occasion unexpected delay the
change OF executive officers will accordingly
take place this day.
In the retirement OF Governor WALKER we
are sure be carries with him the good wishes
Of the people Of Virginia. He has made them
an excellent Governor under circumstances
which doubly increases their grateful sense
of his services. lie came to the office
stranger from distant State, but very par
TALLY acquainted with us, our wants,
and dispositions. He was elected at a
time when it was questionable, from the
state of things, whether we could elect one
of our own well.known statesmen. Liberal
in his views and opposed to further oppres-
sions of the South, after solicitation be be-
came the Conservative candidate for Gov
ernor, and was elected by very large ma
iority. The friends who knew him pledged
themselves for hin, that he would faithfully
administer the Office Of Governor, and his
frankness and honorable bearing readily won
the public confidence. He has fulfilled all
the promises Of both himself and friends,
and faithfully and courageously held the
helm of the ship Of State in her passage
through pcrilous waters.
II has been the lot Of few men to hold
important offices under such circumstances.
His reflections upon the conclusion of bis
term must be Of themselves happy reward
for his devotion and fidelity to the people OF
Virginia. But the added satisfaction Of the
assured goodwill and gratitude of those
people uuQuestonably makes the occasion
one more than ordinarily fclicitious. AS no
Governor in this country ever retired from
his Office under Just such peculiar circum-
stances, we imagine none before have felt
such satisfaction as is the reward this day
Of Governor WALKER. The good wishes of
us all arc rendered him for happiness and
success in life.
The chair thus vacated by the generous
native of another State will be occupied at
once by JAMES L. REAPER, who is elevated to
the Office Of Governor by the largest popu.
lar majority ever given to candidate for the
position. A son of Virginia, who has been
tried as statesman and hero, and who has
proved his capacity and Gdelityiu every field
and under every trial, be enters upon the
duties Of the chief executive office Oil VIZ
ginia with the unqualified confidence and at
lection of the people.
Governor KEMrER will discharge his du-
ties with good judgment and integrity. He
will bear himself with dignity and exercise
his authority with impartiality and justice.
Above all. he will exert his official sway with
that calm consistency and resolution that
will tend to allay causes of irritation, and
as far US possible facilitate the subsistence
of the unamiable sentiments and feelings
which have for so many years so sadly veXed
our country. ..
The State welcomes Governor KEMrER to
his post, and bids him good speed in his adj
minstration.

The New York Tribune assumes that what
it calls the $ Limitation of the currency" ha:
resulted in 8. imitation of prices" This is
absurd. The gold premium is now consid;
erably lower than it was before the increase
of the amount Of paper money. It's there.
fore ridiculously untenable to say that prices
are ainfated." Indeed, the excellence Of
the paper currency is such that 1t has been
boarded just as though 1t were gold. The
increase Of its quantity, therefore, has not
resulted in the increase Of the amount In
circulation. And yet this is arbitrarily de-
nounced as "infiation."

With the beginning of the new year desire to
return my thanks TO generous public for the very
liberal patronage extended to nc. For more than
twenty years engaged in the study and practice OF
Dentistry In this the city of my birth, 1t has ever
been my aim 10 give my patients the ful'oeneht OF
my professional services, and in order to do this
have endeavorcd to lcep fully up with the times by
acauainting myself with all the improvements
and inventions in the science of dentistry rapidly
ms they were introduced to the profession, and
adopting such as seemed likely to prove beneficial
Recently have enlarged and improved my office
and laboratory, made them comfortable and COLI
venient, and supplied them with everything neces-
sary for the successful prosecution Of my business
The use of anastheics In surgical operations has
proved great blessing TO suffering humanity.
Especially Is this true as regards the application OF
nitrous oride gas dental surgery, by which teeth
can be extracted absolutely aohhom pain, though
the patient be not wholly unconsciour.
My facilities for the manufacture and admins
traton of this very pleasant and safe anasthetc
are complete in every particular, all OF the ma
chinery being out Of sight, and the gas conducted
TO the latient by pipes introduced In the building
thus dispensing with the use Of an unstghtly gas
bag. :.
Notwithstanding the very general introduction OF
hard rubber or yulcanite, as base for ARTIFICIAL
+eatb and its adoption by me, have never aban.
doued the use Of gold plate believing 1t to De the
hest article ever tried. am therefore, fully pre-
pared to Insert teeth upon gold, silver, patna, OF

preservation of the natural teeth exercising at al
times great care In cleansing and filling them, anc
correcting irregularities of the same, and In treat
Jug all diseases of the mouth. ~
The success which has. crowned my efforts tau!
