This happened at the Nivy Hill meeting,
at which Squire STARKE was in great hurry,
aud barely had time to answer the question
about the constitutional amendment intended
to prohibit hen.raost robbers, corn.steaers,
boy and sheep.Steaers, without distinction
Of race, color, or pGeyious condition of SER
vitude, from voting. Squire STARKg said be
was in favor Of this class of citizens being
allowed to vote. Alsr, at the same meeting
General INBoDEN declaaed that every Rspub-
lican who would fail to vote TO break up be
Conservative party was 4 fool. Msny other
curious things happened at this meeting, not
forgetting thst the Hon. LEWIS LINDSEY SAID
that be could not be bought. Why he said
1t was strange, since the confidence of the
whole nation in dhe honorable gentlemau's

The following article is from onc oil the
best men in The State. A man who loves his
country and loves the Conservative patty
because that party has saved the State and is
necessary for its preservation. Read it:
Editors of The Dispatch: Although not a
citizen OF Richmond, desire from sense OF
duty to the Conservative party to appeal 10
the Conservatives Of Richmond to accord on
Tuesday next full, earnest, and bearty sup
port to the nominees for the Legislature,
II I may be permitted to adopt the Ian.
guage of Artemus Ward, say to the boilers,
or independents, brethreu, 'doTt Sccesh."
II YOU have wrongs to redress, redress them
Ia the party. Don't secede and call upon
the natural enemies Of conservatism 10 assist
YOU in purifying the party. One OF Vsr@iniHS
most distinguished clIiz,ns, prior to the out
break of the late war, opposed secession Oh
the ground that the slaVeholdlng states
should seek their rights in the q alon, not by
withdrawing from 1t. His view may have
been the proper one. but whether 1t was so
or not in that case, how strongly bis doctrine
APPLIES to the present condition OF on hrs IN
tie city of Richmond. The proper place
TO purify the party is in the party, and the
bolter who denies the proposition as applied
must have been caused by prejudice or am
bition to forget for the time his party.
Conservatives, stand by sour party orglnl-
zltion. 1t has been the salvation OF the
State, and to it We must look for our future
safety. Virgiuiaus. white men must rule
Virginia. If you would avoid the results 10
follow from negro rule you must prevent
the disruption Of your party.
The eyes of the people THROUGHOUT this
Commonwealth are turned auXiously 10
Richmond. 1t is not only The metropolis OF
the State actually and commercially, it is the
metropolis Of the party, and to 1t We LOOK as
the politicll centre. Are we to be deceived?
will the Conservatives of Richmond fater
ia allegiance to their party, and permit re.
verse which will damage seriously the party
Of the State? Is the ne rs to go forth in TO
as in 'G5, that Richmond has fallen?

fearful echoes that were borne upon the
winds and shook the very windows of the
houses as if evil birds were flipping at them
ar endeayoring to force an entrance?
These were days that are painful to re-
member. And yet we find rev set of

him 10 be a perfect gentleman and disposed
To do imDliclly what be believes to be right.
! If I had thousands Of votes | would cast

because of his Conduct as soldier and
| of his galaurry while in command OF the
Second brigade of JJcks0n's division, now
famlilry known as "Jackson's Foot-Cav.
alrr.' At the second battle Of Manassas
this brigade WAS stationed at the railroad
embauklnent on The extreme right OF Jack.
sons line, on which Pope made bis several
assaults in the second day OF the battle.
After repulsug the cDemy at this point we
charged them through an open field into and
through wood, were halted in this
wood, remained there u short time,
aud were then ordered back to our
former position. Upon getting out OF the
wood We were greeted with lire from
battery Of eight guns placed on hill IN
front of and to the left Of Groreton house
(which marked the tild through which We
had little whiie before charged the flying
eremy). This fire was too mach for our
troops, who became confused and dsordered.
Hinder these circumstances General johnson
called them to attention, making them face
the guns, and after carrying them through
the manual ia The midst OF that dreadful
fire faced them about aud carried them back

On the next dtv. when the assault on this

enemy, the last line coming urOu the EN-.

over on our SIDE, General johnson was in the

of General Johuson's wife. Every soldier
of the Second brigade loves her. While in

Mr.. Starke's UnfairneSS.

1t was dodge OF Mr.. STAKES unworthy
of an aspirant to q responsible position
when in his appeal to the negroes for their
votes on Navy Hill he assumed the amend
mpnt proposed TO the Constitution disfran.
chising a man for "petty larceny" would
also disfranchiSe man for fighting. Did
Mr.. STARKE mean to deceive the intelligent
voter and thus plaster over his concession 10
the colored voter for the purpose of gettirg
his vote? His remark was in that case dis.
credltabe. On the other band, if he did not
know the amendment which he undertook
to denounce be is poorly fitted to become
State senator.
The amendment proposes to disfranchiSc
only those who are guilty Of petit larceny
which is an infamousc offence. Mr. STARkt
is against the amendment. We suspect that
the people of Virginia would be as neal
uuanimity US could be in the opinion that nc
man guilty Of an "inlamous offence" sbouIt
be allowed to vote. The hen.roost robter:
and hog aud sbeep.stealels would be against
the amendment, of course.

Richmond and the State.

Let all Of our people remember that the
example Of Richmond is powerful 10 the
State. We may we'll take upon ourselves the
responsibility for nearly all the Independent
candidates in this Stale. The furious war
upon the Conservative party made in this
city bias fired the spirits OF Z" Independents "
everywhere. Never before stree the war
have they appeared so juhilant and bold
Heretofore they have been rather subGued,
and seemed somewhat ashamed Of their acts.
But now they arc fussy, aud even pompous.
Richmond gives them world OF encourage.

the State 10 blast Tie hopes that have been
melted ia the breasts Of boilers. Let her
dash all the hopes placed upon her example

CURED in by both Judge BoND and Judge
HreuEs. II SO deciding the court adhered
to the frat decision In the case notWlth-
standing the appeal OF the large minority OF
boudholders who petitioned that General
W1ckHAM should be appointed In place OF
Mr. TYSON.
This community, from its acquaintance
with General WIcKHAM and long intercourse
with him in his official relations, would have
been gratifed by his appointment. The
Judges had most responsible duty to per-
form, and 1t would be assuming much to say
that they have not deliberately considered
ther.act.
Let US hope that as Mr.. TYSON is the re-
ceiyer during The settlement Of the affairs OF
the railroad be will discharge his duties at
least with fair regard for the interests of
