ALEXANDRIA,, vIRGINI-
SATURDAY, JUNE II.

THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY.-The Rich
mond Wing says that the recent local elections
throughout the State show conclusively that
the Conservative party in Virginia is not only
as strong as it has ever been, but that 1t Is still
Strengthening; and, further, that "the meu
who make up that party are not torgetful OF
the fact that organization is always essential,
and tina. good generashlp and good discipline
are required to be practiced in peace it We
would have them effective 10 war-that the
spirit of the party must be maintained in the
lesser elections if we would have it as it ought
to be in elections of wider scope, more general
interest and of higher consequence to the
Commonwealth or the country. The Wing,
while deprecating Independent candidates and
thinking them wrong, is not inclined to read
them out of the party, but is willing yet to
"regard them as true Conservatives, who, 10 a
contes, with the Radical party, where political
principles are involved, would stand steadily
by the colors of Conservatism and chcertully
concur in advising convection and accepting
its decision 1t then advises that Except in
such counties as it may be utterly impractica-
Die to carry for any Conservative candidate put
before the people by the party convention, a
convention should by all means be called, and
after its choice is declared, no man claiming to
be Conservative can come out 10 opposition
without forfeiung all right to expect any sup
port from the party aud concludes thus
1.-The spring elections were local, with no party
issues 10 the contest. The tall elections will
be State elections, aud essentially political.
The ranks of the party must be closed up then;
every man must be in his place; and all must
sustain the regular nominee, or Radicallsm will
ride over Conservatism yet in Virginia.

A Gulfcable dispatch states that an earth
quake has recently occurred in New Grenada,
by which sixteen thousand lives were lost. The
scene of the calamity is in the valley Of Curcu-
ia, on the Venezuelan frontier. The number
of victims, as stated, seems improbable, and
further intelligence will be awaited with inter
est, but the Department of Bogrea, in which
the valley is situated, is one Of the most pop
ulous in New Grenada, containing over half a
million of inhabitants.

A New FAIRY SToRY.---Arsene HOussaye


sends the parable to the Tribune:
NJ. Thiers yesterday told me this legend:
When France came into the worlc as ma
ton it was in the time of the fairies. AS
France was to be great princess they IN
yted to her cradle all the good fairies; the
fairy of wit of riches, of conquest, OF beauty,o OF
grace, the fairies Of harvest and vintage. IL
was an unparalleled festival throughout the
young kingdom everywhere they danced ana
drank. But in the very midst OF this puollc
rejoicing an uninvited fairy came to sit at Inc
banquet. There were already dozen at the
table, and the strange visitor made the thlr-
teenth. She was not gay like the others; on
the contrary, her face was full OF meditation,
gravity, and sadness.
Every one began to say, "What Is she 40.
ing here, with that unearthly countenance
She sat down, but she rose with majesty
and thus spoke: ''You invited all the good
fairies to the cradle OF France, and you for
got me. Woe be unto you! France shall
have days of victory and conquest. She snail
be rich in corn and wine. She shall be IA
nous for her wit. She shall begulle the
world with her grace. But whenever she IS
about to enjoy her good fortune an unforeseen
catastrophe shall hurl her into the abyss OF
war or of revolution. And thus shall be
avenged.' ''Who art thou then? % they cried
out from every side to the avenging fairy.
She was already at the door; she turned on
the threshold and said, in tone at once SOL
emn and satirical, 81 am Wisdom! France
may have at her cradle all the other good
fairies, but as she had not me, all the rest
will be useless"
Thus said Wisdom, and Wisdom Is always
