MOTTO T..
TO the Conservative Voters Of the City
and County of A leXandria.

In pursuance of the plan adopted by the Con.
servative Committee, primary election will be
held in this city on the 18th instant to nominate
such Corporation and State officers as are to be
voted for on the 25ta instant, and on the night
the 18th Conservative ward meetings will be
| held in the various wards of the city for the pur-
pose of nominating delegate from each ward
| to attend the State Conservative Convention, to
| be hold in Richmond on the 3lst, three dele
gates to attend the County Convention, to be
| held at the Court House on the I'D, to nomi-
nate candidate for the House OF Delegates,
and to nominate candidates for the Board of Al
dermen and Common Council.
The voting places.at the primary election Will
| be those designated by the Mayor Tor the late
election, as follows:
lst ward No. "a Prince street.
I'd ward: No. az north Fairfax street.
Sd ward: Room in S. Z. corner of old Court
House (up stairs.)
4th ward Perpener's house, on Duke street,
between Columbus and Alfred.
The commissioners and clerks to hold
said election will be designated by the candidates
who are to meet the committee on the evening
of the 1lth, al the room formerly occupied by
the late Board of Public Works, in the Market
Building, and whose names will be published
hereafter.
The ward meetings will be held at the usual
places.
The County Superintcndents are hereby re-
quostcd to hold meetings u the county at such
time and places as may be most convenient for
the purpose of selecting delegates and making
nomination for such officers as are to be elected
on the 18th.
In giving this notice the committee beg leave
tc urge upon the Conservative voters the neces-
sity for prompt and decided action, and express
the hope that each and every man will show his
interest in the future welfare of the city by an
active participation in the election, SO that the
will Of the majority of the party may be fully
and fairly expressed, and the candidates chosen
be such as to meet the cordial appreciation of
the party and the citizens generally. In the
primary election, Of course, none but Conservs-
tves-such rs feel in honor bound to support
the nomnees-are expected to participate, and
as at this election an exhibit of tho strength Of
the party will be- indicated, it is hoped that thCre
will be such decided vote as will show the op
ponents of true Conservatism that our nominees
will be triumphantly elected on the 25th at the
polls. That such result is easily to be achieved
none who know the strength Of the party Can
doubt, and the committee, therefore, hope th'
no dissention or lukewarmness will be found n
the ranks of the party, and that each and eve'y
Conservative will make it a point to go to Il
polls and participate in making such good al
able nominations rs will attract and secure tie
support not only of the party but of all wi o
have the good of the City and State at heart.
By order Of the Committee
EDGAR SNOWDEN, Jr.,
Chairman County Committee.

The Rev. Milton Rclyea, whose year as
pastor Il the Methodist Church at Woodrow, :.
closed YESTERDAY, preached a farewell sermon
in the morning, ana aftcrward said; AT the
beginning of this year, subscriptions were made
toward my salary, and the stewards estimated
on the basis OF the subscriptions, expecting that
every penny would he paid In. but some have
coolly folded their hands and say they won't
pay a cent, that they will starve me out or whip
ma into tire traces, and make me break faith
with tho Quarterly Conference. But, my friends,
YOU didn't know your man. / want to say that
IL is an instance Of dishonesty and meanness
which 1t IL yerv rare for n church to find I'm It's
boriers. have but one more word to say. aud
that l. that The On ,a board Of this church owe IL
to themselves aud to the cfodit of THIS to church
demand the payment Of these subscflutions, aud
II they don't pay, summon them to trial and ex-
pei them from tho church. II man undertakes
Christ whO Is the Head Of tie Church, he ought

the reverend gentleman asked that the Youthful
converts at re ent revival mighi be " merciful-
~ nfesefved from finding stumbling block In
the bad example OF some OF tneir elders Ia the
church."
The trouble nrose from an endeavor bv church
mombers living In kOssVllle, "A little OVor mile
from Woodrow, to get the pastor to hold serv-
ices IN u building OF their own at Hussvlle, on
altern tie SUNDAY evenings. Among the Ross
whites is Mr.. Peter X. COrtelJ on, to whom and
other wealthy men the brethren Of Woodrow
attribute the influence that led the pastor to

WASHINGTON, March 2G-Nr. Wat 'on,
who was Assistant Secretary of War part Of the
time Mr.. stanton was Secretary, will It Ia said,
appear before the Committee on Expenditures In
the War Department, and give testimony against
Gen. Rufus lngalls. The CHARGE is revived that
IN 1854 he made contract, at exhorbitant prices
for lhorse feed at Al xnndrla, Va, and caused
the animals to DO fed on mixed food, much TO
their injury, &c. Gen ingalls, is absent from
the CITY, but Gen. Van Nlcet SAYS mixed food
Is beneficial to horses; that Gen Ingalls, at the
time the supplies were bought, was at the
front and merely signed the orders Of Gen.
Hucker, the Depot Qnartermaster, aud that u
anything WIS wrong, Gen. Mc;cs ana Secretary
Stanton were responsibie fnr IT; aud further
that similar charges made against Gen. Invslls at
that time were examined 10y court Of inquiry,
which entirely eXOncrutcd HIM
