Rev. A. L. HAMILTON, D. D., of Atlanta,
Ca, preached in the Methodist Church, in
this city, last Sunday morning and night.
His subject in the morning was the religion
needed by man, and after an interesting and
eloquent portrayal of happiness sought by
fallen humanity and the wonderful mechan-
ism of man both physical and mental, he de-
scribed the religion which alone could sustain
in life and death, and that was revealed re-
ligion. At night his subject was the power
of the Gospel, illustrated with many Incl
dents in the history Of the heather world,
some of which occurred under his own min
istry. Both discourses were intensely inter.
esting and left a deep impression on the
minds of his auditors.
DR.. Hamilton is the youngest son OF the
late Galbraitb Hamilton, decd, of Rock
bridge county. He is 2 graduate Of Wash
ngton College, at Lexington, commenced
his ministry as an itinerapt in the Virginia
Conference, from which he was transferred
to the Missouri Conference and was station
ed two years each in Lexington, st. Louis
and Jefferson City, and for a number OF
years subsequently was prominent educa-
tor, as President of Female Colleges in Ten
nessee, Alabama and Georgia. He is now
associate editor Of the beautiful literary pa
per, the sunny South, published in Atlanta,
Co., and as such, as well as an able minister
of the New Testament. we bespeak for him a
cordial welcome in the Shenandoah, Valley
and elsewhere.

Editors Of Valley Virginian:
1t is due Hon, F. P. Phelps, elector-at-
large of the State Of Virginia, that some pub
lished notice should be given of speech
which he delivered in our Courthouse on
Thursday evening last. 1t is the universal
sentiment of all Republicans who heard him
that if said speech could be delivered in each
county Of the State, that thousands would
be added to our ticket in November. The
meeting was large and enthusiastic COM
posed Of Republicans and Democrats, all
equally attentive and respectful. 1t was the
first Republican meeting we have had this
campaign addressed by white speakers from
abroad. The Democrats had expected to
have every thing their own way, but if there
is any use in signs and portents, they may
find themselves mistaken and that old Abe
marie will give handsome Republican ma
jorty on the 18th of November. Democracy
has come to sad extremity, when it insists
on the election of a man as President whom
it has itself declared to be unworthy of any
public trust. A dozen Democratic papers
said so before the st. Louis Convention. no.

desire, at the rate of $l.50 per thousand,

no source of profit to us, but we cannot al
ford to furnish them for nothing, and bear
the entire expense Of the canvass. Let

Editors of VaUey Viryinian:
On last Thursday night our Hayes and
Wheeler club, together with the majority of
the Republicans If this place, enjoyed the
richest treat OF this canvass. 1t had been
publicly announced that Hon. E. P. PHELPS
and Capt. Early would address the people
upon the political issues of the day, which
brought together the largest crowd l ever
witnessed in our courthouse. The meeting
was opened by appointing DR.. A. Niche as
chairman. This gentleman gracefully intro
duced the Hon. E. P. Phelps who, by his
convincing and eloquent remarks, held his
audience spell-bound for an hour and half.
His reasoning was clear, and his argument
why Iilden and Hendricks should not be
supported for the two highest offices in the
GIT OF this nation, was utterly unanswer-
able. Capt. E. W. Early has a host of
friends here. Many prominent conserva-
tives put in their appearance to hear him.
Nobly did our standard-bearer acquit him.
self. Looking back to the past he defined
ms position before, and during the war, ex-
planned his present position to the entire
satisfaction Of his many hearers. His speech
exhibited much thought, and was gracefully
and ,eloquently delivered. Capt. Early's
and fitness for Congress are such
as to insure him heavy vote. Let Angus
ia and buckingham be wide awake, as old

Republicans should remember that voting
merely for Hayes and Wheeler, without the
electors being on the sticket, amounts to no
vote at all. The Electors are really the per-
sors voted fol-, land not the candidates for Pres
ident and Vice President. The electors may
be 1esignedly cut from some of the tickets,
and the mere names of Hayes and Wheeler
printed thereon for the purpose OF deceiving.
Vote none but the full ticket, and against
the amendments.
