stry, and owned by A. f. Judevine, of this place,
was burned on the afternoon OF the sd. The fire
was caused by children playing with matches, by

AT THE PRIMARY election that took
place in Richmond, last week, for delegates
to the Sta; Conservative Convention, the
vote was as follows: Daniel ,493, Lee 800,
Malone 1853, and Holiday ia, which enti-
ties the several candidates to the follow
ing representation Daniel "a, Lee 16, Tai
iaferro Is, Malone 10, and Holiday 2.
The vote was smaller than was anticipat.
ed, and general surprise is expressed at
that received by Col. Holiday. Gen. Lees
friends are considerably elated at the
strength he exhibits at the States capital.
The Richmond "Dispatch'' publishes a
table showing that so far Daniel has al
delegates, Malone So, Fitz Lee So, Terry

tributes Holiday being SO far behind, to

The LAST NIGHT OF AN AUGUSTA
SoLDIER.-Rev. ]. W. Jones is contribut-
ing a serious Of papers to the Philadel-
phia Times descriptive of the Confeder-
ate army. In one of them, describing tie
Christian character of the men, he gives
the following description Of the death Of
Col. Will Baylor:
The night before the last day at he Sec
ond Manassas, Col. W. II. S. Baylor was
in command of the CID StoneWall brigade.
of which he was made brgadier general
the very day he was killed. Sending for
his friend Capt, Hugh White, he said to
him: II know the men are very much
wearied out by the battle of to-day, and
that they need all Of the rest they can get
to fit them for the impending struggle of
tomorrow. But l cannot consent that
we shall seek our repose until we have had
brief season Of worship to thank GOD for
the victory of to-day, and to beseech his
continued protection and blessing during
this terrible conflict" The men were qui-
city notified that there would be a short.
prayer-meeting. and nearly the whole Of
the brigade and q number from other COM
mands assembled at the appointed place.
Capt Hugh White led the meeting with
the intelligent zeal Of the experienced
Christian. Col. Baylor joined IN it with
the fervor of one who had but recently felt
the preciousness of newborn faith i'll
Christ, and it was a solemn and impressive
scene to all. In the great battle which
followed the next day. Col. Baylor,
with the flag of the "Stonewan." bri-
gade in his hands, and the shout of
victory on his lips, fell, leading a splendid
charge, and gave his noble life to the cause
he loved SO we'll. Hard by, and about the.
same moment, Capt. White was Shot tiowls
while behaving with most conspicuous
gallantry, and these two young men had
exchanged the service of earth for golden
harps, and fadeless crowns of victory.

FitZ Lee and john DaaieA.

douglas of Dom Piatt's ''Capital,' .
as Virginia correspondent of the Pitts
burg Leader writing from WaIreutoD,
where he had been to attend the races,
says:
'sLee is nephew of Robert E. Lee, and
is in appearance the ideal of a cavalryman.
He is a West Point graduate, q bluff,
broad chested. big-bearded man, of reck-
less, off-hand manner, but gentlemanly and
courteous throughout. He is the sort Of a
man one admires, and at the time feels a
perfect familiarity with; his resemblance
in physique and facial appearance to Belk-
nap is remarkable, except that Lee is a
void of that pomposity which strutted over
Belknap bodily and facialy.
John Daniel, Lees rival, is a man pos
seSSed of the most remarkable face | ever
looked upon in my life. A face peculiarly
American in feature, outline and detail
/ and a face that grows upon one by inspec-
ton as an interesting dream, repeated by
some mental vagary night after night. 1t
is sallow. clean-cut beardless, dauntlessly
res olute, pervaded with a subtitle cynical
expression of mental superiority, caution
and inscience of the thoughts Of other
men. He resembles Sam. Randall closely
enough to be remarked as resembling, and
Edwin Booth to an extent that evidences
the idea of resemblance to Randall is, ON
Investigation, a mistake. His features are
longer, more prominent and cut more
cameo-like than RandalFs. The large ex-
pressive eyes and Indian HAIR are like
Booth, and yet the difference, which he
longs to Daniel himself, exhibits that he is
unlike both. His face has great charm
for men. I would rather look upon it than
upon the face Of any woman | ever saw.
He is very young man to be named in
connection with the governorship of so old
q State as Virginia, being but little over
thirty, but there is throughout the South 1t
spirit strongly assertive in favor of giving
the young men chance in the governing
Of the States and the natioil.''
