An Historic Street FIGHT.

One of the gentlemen dressed in bronze,
now standing On the monument at Rich
mond, Mr.. Andrew Lewis, had very
lively street fight III Staunton, one hun
dred aud sixteen years ago. We have been
rather long getting hold OF the item it is
true, but it is nevertheless very interesting.
We have just been reading an old letter
in which the writer gives an account of
the expedition in 1857, sent by Governor
DinWiddie, of Virginia, under Col. An
drew Lewis, to chastse the savages on the
Scioto, and establish a military post at
the mouth of the Great Sandy river.
There were four companies under the Co.
lionel, one being ofregulars and three being
of "Colonial Minute men," one company
of minute men was from Botetourt, and
the other two from Augusta commanded
by Capt John Alexander and Capt. VIM.
Hogg. In AleXander's company John
McNutt was q Lieutenant. When they
reached the Ohio river Gov. Fauuuier
who had succeeded Gov. OinWiddie, order
ed them to return. McNutt kept a journal
Of the march, in it censureG Lewis man
agement of the expedition, and when he
got to Williamsburg, the capitol, showed
it to Fauquier, who placed it among the
state papers. The next year Lewis went
to Williamsburg as a member of the
House Of Burgesses, where he saw Nc
Nuts Journal. He didn't meet him for
four years afterwards, but in the Spring
of 1852 met him in Staunton. on court day,
the meeting being followed by what the
writer calls "a fight with fists, feet and
cudgels, a severe engagement, and result
ted in McNutt's complete discontinue
but they both appeared very willing to
crawl out Of the mud, to the no small di-
version of numerous spectators" Nc
Mutt was afterwards appointed by King
George, Governor of Nova Scotia, but
when the rebellion broke out adhered to
the cause of America and joined Gen.
Gates at Saratoga. He was q gallant Off
Ger in Baron De Kalb's brigade, which
chiefly fought in the South.

The Dairy Maids.

The Dairy Maids reception at Grange
Hall last night, for the benefit of the Me-
thodist Church, was, to quote a lady's
opinion, ''just as nice as could be-" On
the table belonging exclusively to the
maids. was sweet milk, buttermilk, smear
kase and cheese, which was dispensed at
very moderate prices, while all the luxu-
ries Of the season, including ice-cream,
were dispensed at the other tables. The
dairymaids appeared in their parti-colored
costumes, and were a pretty sight to be-
hold. They were Misses Cora Turner,
Katie Gushing, Kate Harlan, Addie Mar
tin, Sue Martin, Ella Henkel, Rosa Glenn,
Matte Hyer, Grace Montgomery, Bette
owartz, Jennie Campbell Alice Blackburn,
Agnes Gambler, Kate Boiler, Mary Rapp.
Laura Smith and Kate Wilson, sopranos,

son, Ida Henkle and Ida Eyler, altos.
They were assisted in the choruses by
Messrs. D. E. Strasburg, A. A. Eskridge
and B. B. Eskridge, tenors, and G. W.
Hunter, W. o. Stiff and j. II. Stiff, bassos.
Miss Lizzie Daniels, of the Wesleyan Fee
male Institute, was the musical directress
and Mrs. CIV Hunter was the accomplish
edaccompanist. The musical programme in
cluded the we'll sung chorus Of ''Auld Lang

maids, solo "Where do the old years go?'
sung in superb contralto voice of won
derful strength and depth by Miss Eflie

Misses Lizzie Daniel, Cora Turner and
Ef1ie Stiff and the solo ''Titania" sung by
Miss Cora Turner in that sweet, clear So

entertainment and included dairy maids
soliloquy delivered with charming simple
ity by Miss Rosa Glenn, well delivered

by Master Ashby Hoshour, recitation by
w. Il. Snuff and a short reading by Prof.

and we would not do justice if we
were to omit the fact thai to the Judgment

Church Notes.

Last Friday night, the rite OF conflrma-
ton was administered by Bishop White,
to class Of tWenty-six candidates, among
whom were Prof. T. G. Mountjoy, OF the
Wesleyan Female Institute and Capt. j. N
Opie. Six young ladies from the Virginia
Female Institute were among the class.
Bishop Whittle delivered a. very able sermon
before continuation on the equal impor-
lance of doing what God commands, as
Of abstaining from what he prohibits. A
man will observe the commandment, not
to steal, while he constantly violates that
which enjoins upon him to love God with
all his heart, and hardly attempts to full
fill it. The church was crowded.
There was no service Sunday night, at
the First Presbyterian and Episcopal
churches.
Rev. J. B. Haskell will preach next Sum
day at the Lutheran church, in Waynes-
boro', filling the pulpit Of Rev. Christian
Beard.
Rev. DR.. Chas. Manly, of the Baptist
church preached on Sunday morning, to
the Sabbath school children.
Lexington Presbytery commences at
Waynesboro, on Wednesday, May Sth, at
II O'Clock. The opening sermon will be
preached by Rev. Mr.. Brown, Moderator
OF the last Presbytery.
Rev. Beverly Jones, (col. baptized ff-
teen persons, (colored,) in the river at
Waynesboro, on Sunday last.
Rev. J. e. Booker preached very accept
ably to the congregation of the End Pres
byterian church last Sunday morn
| ing and night. His sermon in the morn
ing was from the 5th chapter of Romans,
Sth verse, and the excellent discourse was
listened to throughout, with the most ear
nest attention by the congregation. The
preacher entering fully into the spirit OF
his subject, speaking III deeply impressive
manner, and not few of the audience
were moved to tears.
At night the church was packed, and
many not being able to find seats had to
GO away. The subject was the crucifxion.
The speaker drew vivid picture of the
Calvary scene, contrasting the death of the
two thieves, the one almost lost and yet
saved, the other with his savior in reach
and yet lost The lesson of warming was
a solemn one and could not fail to reach
the hearts of many of the large congrega-
ton present.
Mr.. Booker will preach again next Sab
bath in the morning at the End Presbyte-
rian church. There will be no service at
night in that church.

THE LAW AND THE DEBT,

From the inception of this State debt
discussion nearly year ago we have urged
that every known law, Moral, State and
Federal was directly against any forcible
adjustment of it. The Virginia Court of
Appeals has since decided that any attempt
to evade the contract by refusing coupons
issued under it, is unconstitutional. Subse-
qnently as we stated last Friday, the ques-
ton of the power of the State to tax cou-
pons was before il and, Judge MONCURE
not voting, the court was equally divided,
Judges CHRISTIAN and ANDERSON deci-
ding their taxing unconstitutional, and
Judges STAPLES and BURKEs deciding it
to be constitutional. Therefore the taxa
ton of coupons goes on unless the case is
taken up to the U. S. Supreme Court which,
we see stated, it will be. That Court has
just decided the principle of the Case in the
matter Of Murray VS.. the City of Cllal les
ton, S. G., where the plaintiff bought six
per cent. city bonds, the city taxed them
two per cent. and the law authorizing
the retention of the tax out of the interest
was pronounced constitutional by the
Supreme Court of South Carolina. The
Supreme Court of the United States re-
versed the South Carolina decision and de-
cided that the city must perform its con-
tract with exactness and pay the full in
terest it contracted to pay, which being
done. then it could tax its bonds only as it
would other property in the possession of its
citizens. We quote from the opinion and
recommend it's consideration to any who
have been of the opinion that Virginia can
by legislation, and without her creditors
consent, evade the payment of every dol
lar she has promised to pay:
"Inere is no more in1 ortdt provision in the FED
erI Constitution than the one TIich pr0hibits States
from passg lars i7nLdring the 0bigdtiOns Of con-
tracts and 1t is one Of the highest duties Of this
Court to take care the pr0libtion stdI neither be
euoded nor frittered array. Complete effect must be
given to it in all its spirit. The invoability of
tracts and the duty ofperforming ihem as made are
foundations of all well-ordered society," and to pre-
vent the removal OF disturbance of these founda-
lions was one of the great objects for which the Con-
stitution was framed.
The Judgment of the Supreme Court of South
instructions to proceed in accordance with this
opinion
How does this sound compared with the
contemplate twaddle the people have read
and listened to for months past about the
ability of Virginia to relieve herself of her
obligations whether or no. How does this
solemn deliverance from a Court, with a
nation to back it, sound, compared with the
bombastic ignorance that has been prom
Using deluded people that new Court of
Appeals is what the State wants. Of
what avail are State courts to make de-
cisons impairing the obligations of con-
tracts, except to get them back again from
the Supreme Court of the United States
reversed, and the record RENTED with
Instructions to proceed in accordance with
THIS opinion."

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT
