All Over.

The telegraph has ceased to bring us any
news about the railroad strike, and We con-
clude from this that the running OF trains
has been fully reestablshed everywhere,
and that throughout the length and breadth
Of the land there is uninterrupted railroad
communication. There is still some trou-
BILE in the coal regions Of Pennsylvania, but
this proceeds from turbulent miners. and
not from the railroa employees. The Penn
sylyania State militia have been for the
most part relieved from duty, but detach-
ments of United States troops are still
uuartered at Scranton and Wilkesbarre. and
will remain there until the miners resume
work. Governor Hartranft has left the
coal regions, and has established his head
quarters at Pittsburgh.
All the distractions to railroad traffic in
this State being removed, Governor Carroll
now proposes to open the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal, which has been blockaded by
striking boatmen more than month. The
Governor will use whatever force may be
necessary to effect this object. The Fifth
Maryland regiment, which has been under
arms since the goth Of July, has been re-
lieved from duty for the present, but the
Seventh regiment is now under marching
orders, and it is supposed that it will pro-
coed to Sir Johns run, the point at which
the canal is blockaded, if any resistance is
offered to the civil Observation-Disclosures

BUCKINGHAM COUNTY.


AUGUST 3, 1877.
The James River Baptist Association held
its forty-tifth annual session with Sharon
church, in this county, commencing on
Tuesday the 24th OF July, and continuing
three DAYS. Nearly all the churches in the
body were represented by their delegates.
Large crowds were in attendance every
day. The usual routine business was trans
acted. Professor Cooke, from Holiins lnsti-
tute. was present two days, and made some
stirring speeches on education and other sub
iccts. T. J. Starke, from Richmond, was
present the same time in the interest OF
Richmond College and the ministers RELIEF
fund. Several corresponding delegates from
other associations were in attendance, and
invited 10 take part in the deliberations.
The session was harmonious, and closed
with singing parting hymn and general
Misunderstanding. The next meeting is to be
held with New Hope church, in Appomat-
toX county.
We have been having refreshing rains
lately, which have very much revived our
prospect for crop OF corn and tobacco.
Both are doing we'll now, and with favor
able season and late fall we expect to make
IN average crop.
Our wheat crop was excellent, and yields
well so far as it has been threshed. We had
Il very favorable season for harvesting and
securing the crop. II good prices can be
obtained, we hope this crop will relieve us
OF present embarrassments and help to re-
vive business amongst us.
There is general suspension OF political
excitement since our last court-day, when
oftce-seekers were so lavish with their
Whiskey. We hope never to have the like
with us again, and that we shall have good,
sober man for Governor. II.

Dr. PIumer's Speech.

| TIE VETERAN CREATES A SENSATIoN IN EDIN-
nURGH-A REMARKABLE SPEECH.
The correspondent Of the New York
| Herald, writing from Edinburgh OF the
Pam Presbyterian Council, thus speaks OF
venerable divine whose name is "tower
| Of strength " in this community
Any account OF the personnel OF the Coun-
| Gil would be incomplete without special
reference to DR.. William S. Plumer, OF South
Carolina, its veteran. This grand old man
| in his eighty-eighth year-with his long,
snowy hair and patriarchial beard-might
suggest the ideal Rip Van Wnkle were his
mind not so wide-awake. DR.. Plumer
was once minister OF the church OF
Fredericksburg, and indeed for gen.
Grafton was the Presbyterian giant OF
Virginia. He was the leading man OF
once famous Convention which met at
Richmond to consider the educational con-
dition OF that State. There he opposed the
late Samuel NJ Janney, who wanted the
free-school system. but complimented that
modest Quaker, saying, " \ city that is set
on hill cannot be hid" His epiSrammatic
utterances were widely known, as when he
said, rs an offset TO revivalist who said
that he wanted "to get up revival that
he (Plumer) wanted "to get down reyi-
val'
DR.. Plumer, aged as he IL, has made one
Of the most powerful impressions on the
Council. 1t was when cooperation in mis-
sions was the subject that he arose to make
an appeal for missions among the negroes
Of the southern States. 1t was plain that
the old scholars erudition and devoutness
had borne him far above all vulgar preiu-
dices against the negro. The promise,
Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands,"
| Nv or
he rcbuked that there was some special
curse on Africans. He related some touching
anecdotes OF that race, showing their heroism
and piety, and warned the Church that they
were not exhibiting as much wisdom as
the Catholics in winning so desirable an
element rs the southern negroes. Roman
Catholics, he said, are building chapels
everywhere and inviting colored people
into them. He once told his theological
class in Columbia, S. c., that he did not
think the Catholics would make much head
way with the colored people, because these
were so noisy in their worship and so fond
of taking part in public worship, but one OF
his class told him he had been to one of those
Catholic churches, and the nolslest he ever
heard. He Or. Plumer) had found it so;
the order had gone out from Rome, "Neyer
mind the noise il you get the men," The
speaker seemed inspired with the theme.
He declared the most eloquent preacher he
ever heard in his life was black man from
Tennessee; that the only way to convert
Africa, and forever end the odious slave
trade, was to make united effort to win the
hearts OF the colored people in America. 1t
was very remarkable speech this OF DR..
Plumer, especially as the working of high
and human spirit in the heart OF that State
which was once so especially associated with
the " cursed-be- Canaan" theory Of the AZ
rican race.
