STAUNToN, VA, August 25th, 1874
From the newspapers l learn. that Dr..
Gleaves, of Wytheville, is candidate for
the high position once held by Dr.. Stribling.
" Southwest Virginia has been much neg
lected, so far as the patronage of the State
is concerned. She now demands, that her
claims be, at least, seriously considered :;
and with one voice-the voice of doctors,
lawyers, mechanics and farmers, she de-
mands DR.. Gleaves.
By the common consent Of all who know
him, DR.. Gleaves is the foremost physi-
clan in Southwest Virginia. General
Floyd appointed him to the high office Of
"Medical Director'' of his Brigade, and
said to the writer of this paragraph, that
he was the first mar in his profession in
the Southwest.
Your correspondent knew intimately,
Dr. Gleaves in the army, and out Of IL !;
and must say, that he has as much brain
and heart combined, as any man he ever
knew AS statesman, he would have
shone in national affairs: as a doctor,
with splendid administrative capacity, no
man is his superior. He is one of that
class of men whose mien impresses you at
first sight, with the idea of greatness.
In saying all this about DR., G., do not
detract from Robert Hamilton or Frank
Gray-both of whom are highly gifted and
eminently qualified for the office. If
neither of these gentlemen get position
then it will be given to Gleaves.
This is prediction and mark it's fulfil
ment. FL.

Professor Joynes objected to the system
on account of it's want Of universally,
as certain vowels had not the same sound
in various parts of the country.
DR.. Leigh Thought that any publisher
could undertake to print the books spe-
cia]ly for a sec ion, or the teachers in GER
tain sections might apply the system so as
to make a vowel represent the sound Gus
tomary in the society of the section.
Professor Joynes Thought that this
would be splitting up the language, while
all would admit that something much to
be desired was grayitation. towards
universally of pronunciation.
DR.. Leigh did not think that there was
so much difference in the pronunciation
in different sections as to be noticeable,
except in few words. At the conclusion
of Dr.. Leigh's remarks, the Institute adj
journed to meet at half-past nine O'Clock
on Wednesday morning.

A GOOD RESULT OF THE BEECHER
BUsIN Ess.-Some months ago a most es-
timabe lady Of Richmond had her mind
disordered on the subject of woman $
rights, and we believe went so far as TO
appear on the stage on the occasion OF
one OF two lectures given by it's advocate s..
She was sent to the Lunatic Asylum here.
few weeks ago she heard the story OF
the Beecher business and the way that SUI
san Anthony, Cady Stanton and others,
women's Fighters, were mixed up in 1t,
and was so disguised with it that her
mind commenced improving Oh the spot
and a few days since she was discharged
and sent home to her family.

VISITING MILITARY CoMPAN1Es.-Sat-

VISITING MILITARY COMPANIEs.-Sat-
urday night as previously announced, Com
panies F. and B. of the First Virginia
Regiment, of Richmond, passed through
the city e1, route for the Jordan Alum
Springs, where they had made arrange
ments for going into camp for a week. On
the arrival of the train here, which was
considerably behind time, the travelling
companies were greeted with most accep-
table surprise. The West Augusta Guard
in truly martial spirit were upon the plat
form to receive them, and hardly had the
train come to halt when Lieutenant Nc
Quaide, commanding, gave the order to
charge the train. Captain Clarke of Com
pany F., Commanding the Richmond Bat
tallion, surrendered gracefully, and the
prisoners were marched into the dining
room Of the American Hotel, where ample
refreshments had been provided. Some
fifteen minutes were spent in discussing
the contents OF a large array of bowls
when loud cries for Captain George ID.
Wise were heard.
In response, Captain Wise briefly thank
ed the West Augusta Guard for the hOspl-
talities extended the Richmond Soldiery,
paid a feeling tribute to the record Of the
county and city during the late war and
extended warm welcome to the Compa-
ny to visit Richmond. Captain Wise was
followed by General P. T. Moore, Lieuten-
ant McQuaide, Mr.. A. s. MauZy and 9th
in, of To cnlnabQc Met IAN g
elegant First Regiment Band accompanied
the Richmond Battalion, and disc0ursed
delightful music during the time spent in
the dining room, The battalion re-em-
barked about O'Clock in the morning, all
speaking in the highest terms of Staunten
hospitality, and carrying with them pleas
ant memories Of their surprise by the West
Augusta Guard. One of the Richmond
soldiers writing to the Richmond "Dis-
patch" says:
Really the most pleasant thing that &C.
Cured while the two companies were en-
route, and the more appreciated from it's
entire uneXpectedness, was the reception
accorded them upon their arrival at Staun-
ton by the ''West Augusta Guard re-
Gently organized company, under command
of Captain Travers Phillips These whole
souled Stauntonians, with Lieutenant Nc
QuaiGe at their head, although the train
had been delayed an hour and a half, and
it was then after o'clock, met our Rich
mond boys at the depot, and, sans cerenao-
ME, took charge Of the train and refused
to let it proceed until the boys had landed
and partaken Of their hospitality. Making
virtue of necessity, the travellers alight-
ed, and, under escort of the w. A. G. IS.
proceeded to the American Hotel, where
nearly an hour was spent in enjoying the
rendered inequalities and the interchange
of ciYilities

the matter of text books he particularly
urged that teachers must not presume
that prescribed text book prescribed a
method. No teacher was competent

A BUsINEss-LIKE WEDDING.-A few
days since as Rev. J. I. Miller, the Presi-
dent of the Staunton Female Seminary,
was passing down the street he wasstopped
by a good looking young man dressed in
his working clothes with the mechanic
blouse on, and some Of the implements of
his trade in his hand. His salute was,
Mr.. Miller, I would like to have you
marry me-" "Wen,' said the minister,
''when is it to be done % "Right now,"
said the young fellow, and producing the
license, he accompanied Mr.. M. to the res
idence Of the lady. On entering, they
found a neat looking lady sitting sewing.
and not surprised by the visit. She calmly
put aside her sewing, and rising up, the
ceremony making the twain one, was per-
formed. The quiet wedding was in strong
contrast to the fussy affairs generally &C
companying these matters. The marriage
notice was promptly printed in the VIM
DICTATOR, and now every girl i'll town will
be hunting up back numbers to find out
who the parties were.
