REMARKABLE REVIVAL IN RICH.
MoND. about three weeks ago most
remarkable revival commenced among
the coIored people in Richmond, which
has extended to all the colored churches
and is still progressing. The Richmond
Dispatch of yesterday says:
"a most extraordinary revival of re-
ligon is prevailing among the colored
people of Richmond and vicinity. 1t
has no parallel in cur history, and is re-
marcable alike for the suddenness with
which it sprang into existence, for the
number who have yielded to it's influen-
ces, and for the painful anxiety of the
mourners and the fervid joy of the con-
verified. 1t is SO widespread that it has
reached all classes of colored society.
In some tobacco factories the mana
gers have found it difficult to get their
hands to perform their usual tasks, ma
ny of the men being disinclined to en-
gage in temporal affairs while bowed
down with the weight of their sins.
Nearly every housekeeper has in the
past week or two had to contend with
cooks, chambermaids, and nurses,
who can scarcely be gotten to utter a
word who move about the premises
with ghost-like quletness, and who per-
form their accustomed duties slowly and
in purely mechanical way. The
teachers of the colored public schools
have had much to contend with. In
several instances the children have been
SO wholly given up to the religious ex-
element as to make it impossible for the
usual work to be performed. In one
case to be related the pupils of public
school, under the impression that they
had no time to devote to books, became
SO unmanageable that the Superinten-
dent of Public Schools had to be inform
ed. He sagaciously determined to get
a sensible coIored preacher to go there
and talk to them. The children yielded
to the persuasions Of the worthy spirit
ual adviser and returned to their scho-
lastic duties"
RUNAWAY AND ACCIDENT.-On Mon
day last the mail wagon between this
point and Salem was badly smashed by
the running away of the horse attached
thereto, besides being attended with
other serious results. A young gentle
man by the name f---Houston, who
had been an engineer on the Clifton

The horse becoming frightened, justafter
crossing the Natural Bridge between it
and the hotel there being many danger

ing broke his leg. The driver Mr.. My
ers, also attempted to jump out. He be-
came entangled, and was dragged up
wards of a hundred var DIS before he was
freed, but escaped with slight abrasions
of the skin.
The gentleman whe had his leg bro

The English Liberals propose to follow In
the political footsteps OF the United States
and nominate. in future, their candidates for
Parliament by conventions. The Liberals
think that such a course will give them con-
troll OF the government and there Is no reason
to doubt that II will greatly improve their
chances. There are many objections to the
present English nominating system. In a
great many instances unknown or unpopular
men are run. Moreover, there being no con-
vention to select nominee, two or more Lib
eral candidates for nj. p. r2n, in the late cleo
tions, in no less than twenty districts, thus
dividing the Liberal vote and electing Con-
servatives If this proposed change be car
red out as Is promised, and candidates for
Parliament are nominated In Great Britain
by conventions, it will mark most import
ant epoch in the history OF that country, will
completely change its political ways, and will
undoubtedly do much to revolutionize and
republicanize the country
