Judge John H. Mccue.

Our staunton exchanges announce this
excellent gentleman a candidate for the
Senate from the County of Augusta, 10 fill
the unexpired term of the late Senator
Cochran. We sincerely hope that it may be
the pleasure of the good people of that coun-
ty to elect him.
Judge McCue is no stranger to lis. For
many years he was distinguished practi-
toner at our bar, and during the latter por-
ton of his residence among us, filled with
admirable ability and urbanity, the position
of Judge of our Court. His retirement from
the beach for the purpose of removal to Au-
gusta, was purely voluntary, and was acqui-
esced in by our people with unfeigned re-
greet.
So well and favorably known is he through
oft our county, that we feel sure we but
give expression to the sentiment of our
whole people when we thus publicly declare
our hearty expressions of good will in his
behalf.
In addition, to his ability, he is the very
soul of honor; a man of ripened experience
in puDlic affairs and what is of vital impor-
lance at this time, sound upon all questions
affecting the honor and interests of Virgin
ia.
With all due difference to her many distin-
guished sons, the great county of Augusta,
could not do better than to secure now his
services in the council of State, not only in
her own behalf, but also for the benefit Of
the whole Commonwealth.
In these times of sad political disjointure,
it is indeed refreshing to us to see so good
and capable citizen as Judge McCue, will
ing to devote his time and talents to the Ser
vice of his State.-Ne7son Examiner.

Col. Peyton's Museum.

E We are much gratifed to learn, from very
general expression Of opinion on behalf OF
our leading citizens, how popular the idea is
Of establishing technical and paleontolog-
ical museum in Staunton. We trust the
matter will tat once be taken in hand and
should much like to see it patronized and
promoted by the Augusta Agricultural Soci-
ETY.. Among the numerous letters received
on the subject by Col. Peyton highly APP
proving the plan and promising cooperation,
is one we have read withImuch pleasure from
highly intelligent and cultivated English
gentleman resident in our county, viz: VIM.
NJ. Bowron, Esq, F. e. S., manager of the
Virginia Iron and Steel Company, located
at Buffalo Gap. Mr.. B. has been connected
with the largest and most complete museum
in England outside Of the British Museum
or. National Repository of Great Britain,
and has expressed wish to Col. Peyton to
cooperate to the utmost extent Of his abili-
ty in the collecting and classifying and ar
ranging Of all specimens which may be pro-
cured by the trustees of the S:aunton Muse
UNI. We will recur more at length to this
interesting and important subject in future
issue.

The Markets.

The market for wheat is very firm at 81. 80
for a good article, and very little offering.
The demand for seed wheat has had some
effect upon prices, as the slight transactions
which have occurred in that, have tended to
regulate the general market. In the Rich
mond market good red and white wheat was
bringing $l.55 to SLIGO. In Baltimore prices
ranged from sl.45 to SLIGO, according to
quality. Wheat has fallen two cents in
New York.
Extra flour was selling yesterday in this
market at $5.95. showing disparity in the
price OF wheat and flour. Wheat at $1.35 to
81. 40 would indicate -four at 40 to Sc. so.
We will not pretend to explain this. Nor
can we explain why October delivery should
be quoted at sl.3s and November at $1.37
and September at sl.43. 1t may be safe to
assume that present prices will not mate
rally weaken, nor is it likely there will be
much advance. Legitimate demand will
justify present prices, and while there may
be now and then variance. the standard
will settle at about what it is. These are our
views, from a careful survey of the entire
breadstnffs interest, and consultation with
gentlemen who make breadstuffs study.
The shortness OF the corn crop all over the
country will contribute to the steadiness of
the wheat market and operate in favor Of
the producer.

Foreign Affairs.

Saturdays news showed that the positions
before Plevna, captured on Tuesday by the
Russians, were partially recovered by the
Turks on Wednesday. On Tuesday JU1EI-
MAN Pasha seems to have gained substan-
tial advantage over the defenders Of the
Schipka Pass, and the Russian position on
the line of the Jantra has been Improved"
by forced retreat. These items Of news,
taken together with the neglect which leav-
es the new bridge across the Danube at Mix
opplis unfinished for want OF boats, bode no
good to the prospects of the Russian cam
paign this year. A second campaign is more
than ever certain, and the question to be
denied this year is not so much the opening
OF the road to Adrianople as the possibility
OF maintaining foothold in Bulgaria dur
ing the winter.
The Russian dispatches state that the
Turks were bombarding Fort st. Nicholas
with three eighty pound mortars. A des-
patch via Constantinople announces that
Fort St. Nicholas was captured and the
Turkish flag floating over it. The Russians
| in Skipka Pass had been reinforced and made
several unsuccessful assaults upon the Tur-
kish positions commanding the Gabrova
road. The s'Daily News" report from! be-
fore Plevna says that the Russian military
operations really closed ON Wednesday with
the loss of two redoubts which Gen. Sk0bel-
eff was unable to retain for want OF rein.
forcements, after losing two thousand men
in taking them and three thousand while
holding them. The loss of officers has been
so serious that only one commander of a
regiment was alive and scarcely the head OF
battalion. The Russians, are, however,
| adding to their Notifications before Plevna.
Most of the Turkish reports OF Russian de-
feats published Monday turn out as antici-
pated, to have arisen from delayed despatch
es, and really referred to the reverses of
General Skobeleff on Wednesday last, be-
fore reported through Russian dispatches.
Suleiman Pasha and Mehemet Ali have eff
fected a junction, it is said, and the army of
Czarewitch, obliged to retire before CHS
junction, will probably be compelled to re-
treat still further, unless the arrival of the
Imperial Guard enables him to make stand.
General Todleben has received orders to
prepare plans for winter camps for the Rus
sian troops in Bulgaria. If it comes to the
worst a tete de point is to be established at
Nikopolis. All the fresh troops are directed
to the Jantra line.
The surrender of Bilek by the Turks is a
severe loss. as it forces them to receive their
supplies by way of Kick, as Bilek commands
the road from Ragusa to the interior OF
Southern Herzegovina.
The Servian army, instead OF crossing the
boundary to take part in the war, has re-
turned to their headquarters.
The Russian Poland army has commenced
its passage through Romanla for the seat of
war.
Mortars, seige guns and fresh troops are
being moved to Plevna by the Russians.

Mofett Bell Punch,

The Enquirer of the 18th gives the returns
from twenty-five of the principal saloons OF
that city of the operations of the Moffett
Bell Punch. They foot up revenue to the
State of $3l8.53. There were at that date
four hundred of the registers in operation.
some of which had paid the tax OF $40 and
others had failed. the latter of which were
to be reported for Indictment. From the
basis adduced in the report, the Enquirer
concludes that the annual revenue to the
State will be s59O,6so. The New York
Herald's correspondent from Richmond esti-
mates it at $500, 1000. 1t is stated that al
ready in some of the saloons Irregularities
have been practiced with view to defraud-
ing the State of some of the revenue. This
was principally in the lower order Of sa-
looms, The dealers are very hostile to the
Punch, and express their determination to
make fight against it upon the ground that
1T is sumptuary legislation of the worst form.
