The Virginia Campatgn-The COnser
yatlye state Convention.

Correspondence Of the Baltimore Sun.l
RICHMOND, Va, August 2,-The action OF
the Conservative Convention which meets
here on Thursday, 4th, is looked forward
to with q great deal Of interest. The at
tendance OF members and spectators will
no doubt be very large. The Convention
will be composed OF six hundred and forty
delegates, almost every one OF whom will
have an alternate on the ground, who will
be ready to supply the principals place in
case he is not in attendance.
The personnel Of that body will compare
favOrably with that Of any similar one that
has met here since the close OF the war.
| Among the members will be many Of the
most distinguished men known in Virginia,
representing the bar and bench, members
Of Congress, as well as the most Intelligent
agriculturists. Nearly all Of the delegates
will come u%ninstrucled and perfectly free
to vote for whom they see Gt. 1t seems to
be conceded that personal feeling is not
likely TO control the delegates in this contest
to a very great extent, but that the choice
for Governor, Lieutenant.G Governor, and
Attorney.Genera will be for the best aud
| strongest men.

lFor the Dispatch.I
To the Members of the Conservative
Convention.

Gentlemen,-A heavy responsibility rests
on YOU. The Commonwealth has been con-
yulsed for the last eight years by questions
connected with the public debt. Industry
has been paralyZed by the uncertainty which
has prevailed in the legislative councils.
immigration and capital have been repeiicd,
and our advance in the career OF progress
retarded. The people are tired Of this con-
dilion of things. They see plainly the evils
il has brought on the State. They want
these questions settled-inally settled.
They are tired Of a tempOrizlDg policy.
They are tired of seeing the public men, for
selfish purposes, lodging and evading the
true issue. Ii matters comparatively little
who NAV be elected Governor, but 1t is a
matter OF vital importance to have our
| financial matters permanently arranged.
This can be done IN but one way. We
must take high and decided ground. We
must present the issue fairly and squarely
TO the people-whether they mean TO act
like honest men or highwaymen, with whom
might makes right. We must speak with
no double tongue, and We must not select a
doubling, hesitating, and %equiyocating
leader. Our banner must be Inscribed with
a manly declaration OF our principles, and 1t
must be conhded to frm and resolute hands.
We had better be defeated in a braVely-con-
tested battle than win a seeming victory by
cbicanery and fraud. Such a victory would
only prolong the contest, with all the evils
which uncertainty entails. Better let the Re-
| adiusters win, and thereby assume the whole
responsibility Of a settlement, than allow
matters TO continue as they have been for
the last five years. II they should succeed
and pass the Rid lleberger bill, or any other
measure akin to 1t, then the courts will
| promptly scatter 1t TO the winds, and the
public will see the paltry fraud that has
been practiced ON them, and the authors OF
il wifi be overwhelmed with the indignation
of a deceived and deluded people.
Tha Mahonsites have boldly put forth as
their platform the Riddleberger bill. Let
us now meet the issue by a square declara-
ton acknowledging our obligation TO pay
our debt, and disclaiming all right to change
the terms Of our contract without the con-
sent OF our creditors. A decided verdict
OF the people on the issue thus Joined VIII
take the debt question out OF the political
arena and trsnsfer IL to the courts or TO the
domain Of negotiation. Any %equiyoeal or

officers have been exceedingly cautious in
Guarding against the possibility OF the
escape OF any OF these men, who are con-

now that they are gone, and under a strong
guard, those VINO respect the law breathe

On the night OF June 9th Joshua Sbipley,
a resident OF Sullivan county, Tenn, was
beaten insensible and left 10 a dying condl-
ton ia the suburbs OF Bristol by an un-
known assassin. The matter remained a
mystery until the arrest OF tennessee fu-
| cato. who was last week sentenced to the
| penitentiary from this county. Since bis
confinement (but prior to the arrest OF
George EdmondsOD) Fugate has stated to
the other prisoners that Edmonds0n and
himself had killed the man. But little
attention was paid to what was c0nsid-
cred a boast OF Fugate until the news reached
the friends Of the murdered mar. Last
! Sunday two sons Of the dead man-Messrs.
G.. W. and j. S. Shipley-arriyed in town
and had az interview with Fugate. He
admitted having seen a difficulty mt a
house OF ill-fame kept by people named
Tyree, IN Water street, in which a man was
knocked down with a brickbat, but denied
any knowledge OF who struck the blow, or
OF who the man struck was. After the
departure OF the sons OF Shipley, FuSate
stated to the taller and others that he and
Edmondson were the men who had killed
Sbipley; that they had inyeigled the old
man, who was drinking, into the grove near
town for the purpose, as be expressed il, OF
(" getting his 'cbiDk,'" OF which he was
supposed TO have good sum. After get
ting him to Tue woods they proposed q
zane OF cards, which seemed to excite the
old mans suspicious, and he. started to
leave. Edmondson then struck lin a
blow upon the head with half 4 brick,
Telling him to the earth, and while he
(Fugate) turned the pockets OF their
victim. and took what money he %bad-OnlY
a small sum-EdmOndsOu struck him sew
eral times upon the head and face, and
kicked him q number Of times upon the
body. Fugate stOutly denies that either Of
them fred a pistol, and says the wound in
the face resembling a bullet-hOle must have
been made by a sharp rock. These men are
now gone to the penitentidry on sentences
OF ten and eleven years, and the hand OF
Justice may never reach them.

intended to prejudice my case, are best dis

The feeling prevailing among the oele-

There was yesterday manifested Oh tue
