A Rraye Act.

A correspondent writing from San Antonio,
Brazil, gives account OF brave and daring act
performed by James F. Alcorn Of Boston. There
were forest fires burning in the neighbOrhood Of
San Antonio. and they gradually approached a
powder magazine containing some 5000 pounds Of
powder. 1t was thought by those fighting the
flames that they could be kept away from the
magazine, but the flames outfanked the fighters
The fighters fed. The sick were removed from
the hospital TO place of safety. and general
panic ensued. At this point, Mr.. Aleorn, followed
by one man. rushed through the flames and over
the heaps of burning logs up to the apparently
doomed building, and commenced hauling the
burning brush and other material away from its
vicinity. Owing to his example others came to
his aid, and the result was that the building was
saved aud the explosion prevented.

At the bottom of all human dealings lie
certain simple principles implanted there
by the author of our being. One OF these
10 truth--nothing that is not based upon
truth can long subsist, and honesty is but
one form of truth. The reason why gold
and silver are accepted among men as q
standard OF value is not merely because
OF their attributes, their indestructibili.y
their durability, but because these metals
rnlhfully represent SO much human labor
expended 10 obtaining them. and are
worth so much as commodities because 1t
costs so much to procure them. IT gold
and silver are to be adulterated they are
no longer true, but are false. But If I'M
sdultefated they constitute value in them
selves. are exchangeable for all other val
ues and are honest eqnlvalents--Senato'

LETTER FROM VIRGINIA..

LrNcHBURG, Sept. 18th, 1873.
| The republicans in this District have decided
not TO nominate candidate for Congress this com
| ing election, for the reason that we elected our
candidates the last three elections Chat is the ma
joriy of the votes cast were republican, but were
counted out every time by the immaculate democ-
| racy, so they concluded it useless aud waste Of
time to put q candidate in the field, believing If
they did not, the democrats would get up tree
fight among themselves on the currency and debt
question. Time proved that they were not wrong
in their conclusions. Thomas Whitehead, Tuck
ers predecessor, has not been happy since he
defeated by Tucker for the nomination two years
ago. Believing that large majority of the dem
ocrsts were greenbackers, sometime before the
convention he announced himself a candidate up
on the greenback platform and hster of the ma
tional bank system. Among the more liberal men
he had made himself very unpopular by his eI-
IRENE sectional speeches and editorials las editor
Of the "Lynchburg News After being in the
field two or three weeks, his friends informing him
Of his weakness and the hopeessness Of his get
ting the nomination. he withdrew. j. r. Tucker
having no opponent in the convention, was nomi-
mated, and since then he has advocated a green
back currency redeemabe 10 coin, which has
given offence to the greenback democrats, and
they are largely in the majority, and man by
| name of Capt. g. Pattefso son, has annou need
himself as gieenback candidate, as against
Tucker; so we expect to see lively times
The business men Of our city are opposed 10
the "greenback craze, and many of them who are
democrats say that if their party going for that
suicidal policy. they will join the republicans who
are in this State, with but few exceptions, for
honest money.
Patteson is a "repudiator" Of the State debt, as
is also majority Of the voters either whole or in
part, SO think be will give Tucker close run,
| and perhaps defeat him.

An unusual demonstration in behalf of temper
ance took place in Winthrop last Sunday. The
Winthrop Reform Club which is one of the best
in the State conceived the idea OF holding union
meeting, inviting the several churches of the town
To unite with them and devote the entire day to
the cause of temperance. The meetings were
held in the morn ng, afternoon and evening in
Psckards Hall, which was crowded at every
session. A large number OF addresses were made,
mostly from members OF Reform Clubs in the ad-
joining towns. The meetings we're ably conduct
ed by Mr.. Kelley, President of the Winthrop
Club and to him is due mucn of the credit for
the success of the meetings. large and excel
lent choir furnished lively singing. The meet
ings were q complete success in every particular.

be gave her. The speaker said he kinder sorter
guessed he gave her about half pint. This sat

got well, his wife fell sick and he gave her some
gin. "liow much :" demanded the president, and
the brother said be kinder sorter guessed about

the brother went on. He said he got tired out
watching with his wife. and he fell sick, and II
so happened that Brother Smith fell sick, and
they took some gin. just then the inqusluve
party an the back seat arose and manifested de-

how much they took, and he hesitatcd for a mo-
