Presbyterian Synod of Virginia.
Correspondence OF the Bal more Sun.
PETERSBURG Va Drtnhpr 30 1SSl

: Correspondence OF the Bal more Sun.
PETERSBURG, Va, October %, 1881.
The Pres yterian Synod OF Virginia,
which IS TO assemble in the Tabo-Street
Presbyterian Church, il this city, on the
evening OF Tuesday, November l, will
be one OF the most venerable and i'm.
posing ecclesiastical assemblages that
has been held in Petersburg in many
years. The synod embraces within its
territory the whole OF Virginia and West
Virginia and all oil portion OF Maryland
in which there are congregations in con.
nection with the Southern branch Of the
Presbyterian Chu.ch. 1t has upon its
rolls 220 ministers and 3l2 churches. 1t
IS not, OF course, expected that every
minister will be present, or that every
church will be represented by ruling
elder, though, according TO the theory
OF Presbyterian Church government,
such should be the case. R.mOteneSs
OF residence with some, the intirmities
OF age with others, and special engage
ments and hindranCes with others, al
ways prevent anything like a,full attend
arce of all the members at any one
place and time, but a sufficient number
have already indicated their purpose TO
come to make it certain that this will be
one OF the fullest sessions OF the synod
ever held. The hospitality oil Peters
burg, noted in the past, will be fully
sustained in the Accommodations afforded
the delegates. The houses OF citizens oil
all denominations will be thrown open
to them.
The exercises OF the synod will be
opened Tuesday evening with sermon
from Rev. Charles White, d. D., OF the
Presbytery OF West Hanover, the
moderator OF the last meeting OF synod
which WAS held IN Martinsburg, w.
Va, year ago.
Among the most important matters
which will come before the synod Tor
consideration the following may be
mentioned:
i. The report OF a committee on the
eligibility CT q ruling elder to the ONCE
OF moderator oil presbytery or synod.
,. The report OF a committee on the
authority and care OF presbyterles IN
training candidates for the ministry.
;. The report OF the permanent COM
mittec on Sabbath schools.
/. The report on eyangehstic labor.
,. ne addresses vi lLe pSHelaI 40
sembly secretaries OF missions, educa-
ton, publication, &c.
i. The overtures from the various
preshyteries in reference TO all questions
upon which they seek the adjudication
OF the synod.
:. Variations OF the state OF religion in
the different presbyteries.
. Report OF the presbyter!es on sy:-
tematiCal beRevolenCe, &c.
Among the more venerable ministers
who are expected to be present are Rev.

Virginia'S Candidate for Gov
ernOr i'm Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, October 29-Major John
W. Daniel, Democratic candidate for
Governor of Virginia, arrived in this
city yesterday and was received by a
large and enthusiastic crowd, and at a
hasty dinner at the Eutaw House, made
a brief speech to leading politicians and
business men, in which he said:
He did not come TO discuss the issues
of the canvass in which he was engaged,
but to tell them that the Democrats OF
Virginia are lighting fight which
should have the sympathy not only of
that State and OF Maryland, but OF every
honest American citizen. A most re-
maTkab!e thing has occurred i'll AiGeri-
can history. There are two great po!itl-
cal parties in the country, both with
well defined principles and acknowl'
edged powerful leaders. No matter
what else we may think OF the Republi.
can party, we are all compelled to adj
nit that it has been the guardian OF the
nations financial honor. And yet in
Virginia that same party has stepped
down from the lofty rostrum which 1t
occupied, engaged in low intrigues with
the worst elements OF Virginia politics,
and declared that now, when the State
is recovering from her troubles, when
the flood OF prosperity bids fair to en-
able her 10 discharge all her obligations,
she shall be denied the privilege OF pre-
serving her fair fame and remaining up
right ard honest. He did not under
value the great strength OF the opposi-
ton, with the strong power behind 1t
ready TO use all corrupt influences, but
the old Democracy OF Virginia had got
its blood up and would win the fight on
tn" Sth OF November. Virginia had
been foolish in contracting her debt, and
had signed the bonds knowingly, but
she now stands in such condition that,
with renewed prosperity, she can come
out with head erect and cheeks bright
and glowing; and yet, after all, cor
rupt faction has denied to Virginia the
right to act as gentlemen. AS Tor him
sell, he would 90 now like soldier
who, under the burning sky and the
blazing sunlight, rests at MONDAY by
cool well, drinks its water and resumes
his march with musket in hand, his
arm strengthened and his soul refresh
