CORRESPONDENCE of the Richmond D1spatch.1
s.s-.>sa -.,1:#i..#. AUGUST %, 1878.
The Albemarle Baptist Association closed
its session to-day. The weather has been
very favorable during the meeting, though
sometimes threatening. A good rain few
days before served to refresh and enliyen
vegetation and prevent the dust, which is
sometimes great annoyance when a large
crowd is assembled. ~' .. $50 a...
The business Of the body was transacted
in the house, which was crowded to its ut
most capacity with an attentive audience,
deeply interested In the discussions OF the
various subjects under consideration. The
speeches were good, most OF them short,
and to the point. The reports read were
short, and full OF good suggestions. The
best order prevailed, and the: harmony was
such that there was not a dissenting voice
to any proposition made. After the order
OF business had been disposed Of q parting
hymn was sung, while a cordial hand.
shaking was enjoyed by the delegates, visit
ors, and brethren generally. Prayer was
then offered up. by one Of the delegates, in
which the whole assembly Joined and re-
sponded with a hearty amen. The Mode
rator, with few feeling words Of address,
declared the final adjournment. Of the
body. l'".'.'% - ....--,.
7 There was preaching at the stand by DR..
Hatcher, at, IL O'Clock, to very large and
attentive audience. The sermon was ex-
ceIent, and we'll calculated to make good
and lasting Impressions upon the hearers.
1t is generally expressed opinion that
there never was a better Association held
for religious and social enjoyment than the
one Just closed at Ebenezer church. 80
|, The usual vote Of thanks as part OF the
programme OF busir ess was given with a
hearty goodwill that spoke well for the
kindness and hospitality shown to the MEM
bers and visitors who united in the vote.
! Your correspondent was assigned to the
care Of Mr. Jesse Adams, who lives about
six miles from the church. He is large
man with q large farm, and with heart
larger than all, who, with his amiable fami-
IL, spared no pains! or expense in making
the large number assigned to him as happy
as a princeIy entertainment could make
them. Richmond was W ell represented at his
hospitable board but bis guests were from all
quarters, and so numerous that it took two
carriages and as many wagons, with q num-
Der riding horseback, to take his visitors to
and from the church; all OF which was fur
niShed and arranged with such order and
so pleasantly that it tended. to smooth the
roughness OF the road. We shall none OF
US soon, forget. our pleasant stay with this
kind family, aud wish that the. shadow, Of
Jesse Adams may never grow less or his
name fail III the; land III s. .a.4.,.a ,,d
I must not omit to say that Captain Cot,
fee. did, excellent service in experimenting
things generally and keeping the best Of
order. outside during the. whole meeting.
This is g, line country, 50; far,a we have
seen II, and the people not a whit behind
the best In our land, speaking from per
sonal experience. ~ j. hi 81. I;

The ball opened at the last Lancaster
court, hen there was an animated discus
sion between BEALE, and CRiTcHER. Gene
raj BEuE; pursued the plan aggressive,
and ventilated the record Of Judge CR1TcHER
with frankness and effect. The Judge lis
reported to have made lame attempt to
yindicate himself, It was hard Tor him to
establish o claim to consideration and sup
port amongst people from. whom he sepa-
rated-towards whom since the war ne ne 90
maintained the appearance. OF alienation py
reason OF his determination with those VINO
were alienated from them, and who favored
the policy that YVES oppressive to them. The
Judge, in replying to the General, stated that
he bad not expected that the discussion
would take such personal turn as it had
taken that day: But We scarcely know now
be; should have expected anything else.
For the whole question Of his claims to the
friendship Of the voters OF the First dis
trict rested exactly upon his personal con.
duct in the anxious and trying period OF the
war and the years that have succeeded it.
We have no idea that Judge CRITCHER can
bring his record to the public approval.
The Conservative voters to whom he appeals
are not going to elect aRepublican over

which HOSTS. the, flag o! MENIFEE for Con-
gress--subject to the nomination OF the
Conservative Convention-utters the fol.
lowing just view of the duty Of Conserva-
tives:
Daily we hear good Conservatives saying
they believe the Convention at Alexandria
would split, and some 90 SO far as to, say
they hope it would, A party will not stand
a split any Oftener than brick walls put up
in winter will stand freezing and thawing.
Let no delegate go to that Convention with
a mind made up to bolt. II there be such
"a one in the district, woe be to him when
he returns toan honest constituency. Bolt
ing is very seldom excusable. 1t is the last
resort to condemn dishonesty and thieying.
The Piedmont Ne,as, of Culpeper, with
q similar loyal and honorable spirit, speaks
thus: -. y :, 81 II,
we have the assurance that il Mr., Hun
ton is nominated an independent candidate
will be put against him. We believe all
such dishon orable efforts viii be froWned
down by the people who have agreed to
abide the result OF the. Alexandra Conyen-
ton. We have enough faith in the gentle
men who will assemble. at Alexandria ITO be-
Eeye they Will nominate man In every
yray worthy oi the support OF the people,
