OF the Treasury to ascertain from authentic
sources the exact truth relative to the alleged
capture of these war vessels, with view to

they are believed to be unfeu1dad, and since
I have received valuable information from
divers and sundry good citizens who sup
posed they were rendering public service
by communicating the facts 10 one so en-

the Oath proXimo, as Mrs. Mary E. Mills,
who resided in the upper end of Hanover
county, was arranging the fires in her smoke
house, her clothes took fire, and being unable
10 extinguish the flames she rushed out,
screaming for help. The wind famed the
flames, which soon enyeloped her whole
body, and she was burned to such degree
before help came that caused the most in.
tense agony. After lingering until O'Clock
on Tuesday morning death came and relieved
her sutferings. She was highly-respected
widow lady, and daughter Of the late Joseph
Talley, of Hanover. Her death will. be
deeply lamented by the whole community in
which she lived. All who knew her loved
her, and she will long be remembered for her
many amiable qualities. She leaves two
chldren-a son and daughter-to mourn
their irretrievable loss.

the caucus was again called to order, and the
consideration of the amendments proceeded
with. Several members announced that they
were so much opposed to the amendments
that they would vote against all Of them, be.
cause they wanted new Constitution IN
toto.
General Taliaferro thought there should
be two.thirds vote of the Legislature on
the question. He had understood, however
that competing proposition would be intro
ducea calling convention to frame q new

ever, and would abide by the decision of the
majority of the party in the two houses.
MIR. Lacy wanted a majority vote to decide
the matter.

ing Of a convention at every step. He

amen endments as they come from the Senate.
Mr. Dooley made forcible address in favor
of the amendments as they came from the

Mr.. Johnston Of Botetourt moved to
amend the proposition so as to require a
two-thirds vote of all the members of the
conference.
Mr.. Armstrong favored the amendments
as they came from the Senate. He thought
they ought oil to be submitted in one batch.
He felt sure the people In the country would
adopt them.
Mr.. Gray of Fluvanna moved that, as the
matter was one Of such importance, when
the conference adjourn it adjourn to meet on
Tuesday night next. Lost.
The tWo.thirds proposition was then lost.
The question was then taken on the ma.
jority proposition, and it appeared that there
was no quorum. The ayes and noes being
called the vote resulted-ayes, 50; noes, 12-
not quorum.
Mr.. Stuart suggested that the conference
adjourn, and that there be mass. meeting
of the Conservatives present, and that sense
of the meeting be taken upon the amend
ments as they came from the Senate. Agreed
to.
Adjourned.
Mr.. Quesenberry was elected chairman OF
the mass.meeting, and, on motion of Mr.
Stuart, the amendments as they came from
the Senate were unanimously endorsed.
