IT having been escertained that
large numbers of negroes desiring TO
emigrate north, are congregated at
different points on the Mississippi
river, and that under threats from the
planters, steamboat owners are afraid
and refuse to furnish them transporta-
ton, General Conway called upon
the President and desired to know
whether, if vessels were chartered for
the purpose of carrying these people
to their destination the government
would protect them in 80 doing. The
President having replied that it was
his duty to see that the navigation
Of that river was kept open and free,
the spirit Of the old slave drivers
was at onc aroused. and rs q matter
Of course threats Of resistance are
openly made, and Q new rebellion
foresbadowed, and equally as a matter
of course, the Northern Democracy
are to be aiders and abettors of this
new crime. Thus the Harrisburg
Petrto< says:
Mr.. Hayes actually ytalks Of protecting with
United States troopf a vessel chartered TO trans
port the immigrants- The talk 10 this effect was
held with a certain man named Conway, formerly
a carpet-bagger by occupation, but now chiefly
occupied in Stimulating the exodus. II MIR. Hayes
carries out his intention there viii be trouble. In
case a steamer appears on the Mississippi river
with the purpose Of bringing away colocen people
from the south tothe north, the Governor Of Mis-
Sissippi has been advised by Gen. Chalmers OF
that State 10 place all on board under arrest and
the probabilities are that the Governor will follow
che advice. The planters hold that no person &
ing with their rights they fed and clothed these
negroes all through the winter expecting TO reap
the benefit Of their labor during the summer and
they will NOT tamely stand by and see their country
invaded and their laborers carried OF.
Here is the spirit of the old bred
Scott decision again boldly avowed,
that black e have no rights that
white men are bound to respect
Think oft. Pennsylvania may pour
out her emigrauts by thousands all
over the country, her poor men may
seek new homes wherever they please.
or ~benever they think they can bet
ter their fortunes thereby, and the
country within her borders may be

the various transportation lines in
ducing her citizens &c "go west"
But let the President talk Of seeing
that one Of the highways Of the

Science, Falsely 50 Called.

There is class of writers for the agri-
cultural press who take delight in opposing
"practice to "science,' and ia exalting
the former over the latter. We say the
agricultural press, because we see that style
Of writing in no other industrial journals
The trades too well understand the value of
exact knowledge to be so humbugged. They
know that practice without exact knowledge
-science-is mere botchery, and their GUS
toners understand it, too. A trade journal
that should undertake to fling contempt upon
the teachings of science applied to art--upon
mineralogy, metallurgy, chemistry, electro
dynamics, or any other branch of systema-
tiled knowledge would die incontinently by
the desertion of its patrons. For an editor
of such paper TO try TO win little cheap
popularity by decrying science and crying
up practice would be regarded as evidence
of idiocy. In the trades, workmen are ac-
customed to exact weighing and measuring;
to making plans and patterns to scale to
calculating the strength of materials and the
effective power of machines. All these
things require the aid of science, exact
knowledge, and they learn at once that there
is no true practice without it.. They would,

DIR. MARTIN of the SaLpetriere, made a
series of interesting observations on nervous
affections among the offspring of alcoholic
parents. His results may be summed up as
follows In thirty-three families in which
one or more members showed nervous ex-
citability with history of alcoholic origin
there were 40 children. OF these, l0S-
more than quarter-had commissions, and
in the year 1873 1853 were dead; PAL were
still alive, but eighty-four, /. e., more than
one-third of the survivors, were epileptic.

FOUR BRIDAL PARTIES.-On the 29tll
inst, Capt. Newport, one of the most ac-
commodating and pleasant conductors we
hay ever travelled with, had on his train
four bridal parties in one car at the same
time-ard all of them from the Valley of
Virginia. The happy parties were composed
of Mr.. j. B. Stinespring, depot agent at
Cowan's Station, Rockingham county, Va,
and Miss Lou White. of battle-ground, Ind,
at which latter place they were married, land
left the cars at the former place.. where will
be their future home; Mr.. J. W. Kibler and
Miss NJ. Hudson, of Luray, who continued
their journey to Stanton; DR.. Trmble of Mon
terey, Va. and Miss Zirkle, of New Market, VIII
got off at Staunton !; and Mr.. Joseph M. Har-
pine, OF Shenandoah, and Miss Mary B. Fem
cher, of Rockingham, who stopped at Harri-
sonburg. While matrimeny seems to be a
mania about this time it is a very rare occur
renee that as many as -four bridal parties
should happen on the cars at one time. The
polite and gentlemanly conductor seemed to
share in the happiness Of the parties, and
experience as much delight in showing them
attention, as they manifested in the realiza-
ton of their love dreams.

REV. DR.. MARTIN.-Last Sunday CLOSED
the fourth conference year of the pastoral
services of Rev. J. S. Martin at Staunton
Station. No one ever filled the pulpit OF the
Methodist church of Staunton, under the
appointment of the Conference, who left
behind him richer evidences of acceptable
and successful labor; or whose severance Of
pastoral relations caused more sincere re-
greet. We regard DIR. Martin as among the
ablest of the ministers of Conference
which is distinguished for intellectual force,
and in his pastoral relations OF such sym.
metrical character and unselfish devotion to
duty, as to win to him not only the admira
ton Of those who appreciate ,erudition and
superior order of culture and forensic
power, but the affection of those who feed
and grow upon the practical religion he pre-
sents. Few ministers so completely meas
ure up to the stature of true servant of the
Church, and not only preach the gospel OF
the Bible in its simplicity and power from
the pulpit, but live it out in their daily walk
and conversation, as DR.. Martin. His con-
gregation need hardly expect to get his
equal in any respect, as successor, and il
they are fortunate enough to get one who
will closely approximate his usefulness and
ability, it will be properly source OF con-
graduation. Wherever DR.. Martin may be
assigned, he will be followed by the prayers
of his immediate congregation, and the most
earnest sympathy and friendship of this entire
community, of all classes and denomina
tional attachments.
