A GOLD AND SILVER MINE IN PAGE.
"A Mr.. Leonard, from Chicago, visited
this county about four years ago, and in
his explorations of the Blue Ridge, dis
covered what he thought was silver. He
returned with numerous specimens, but
owing to the crisis in financial circles
the mine. An analysis of the ore not
only justified his opinion that it con-
tanned silver, but also showed the pre-.
sence of gold in considerable quantity.
He has now formed q company of Is,
and purposes going to work very soon.
The land on which the ore is found, and
which he has leased, is about eight miles
South OF Marksville, and belongs to
Michael Long, Esq. Mr.. Leonard left
here about three weeks ago and is now,
as our informant states. in Chicago, per-
fecting his arrangements for active
work.-P0ge Courier.

VALLEY VIRGINIAN AND Hon ]. F.
LEwIs.-The last Valley Vsrginsan
says
There Is no excuse or justification, in
our judgment, for the course Mr.. Lewis
has seen proper TO pursue. His own
party could have been better trusted for
the repeal of offensive laws, than a Dem
Ocratic faction which was instrumental
In enacting the statutes. His own par.
ty would have been stronger in this con-
test, upon its own principles and with
its own organization, than will be any
coalition that may be attempted. Its
success would have been more probable,
tanned its integrity and self respect
Coalition, In the manner proposed,
would be a surrender Of everything; not
only present, but future, and surren-
der to y small faction of Democrats who
really hold to very little in common with
Republicans.
As to the invocation to harmony, that
| is iil-timed. After the chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee
| has abandoned his place aud his organ
ization, without even consulting with
Republican authorities it was his duty
to co operate with, and identified him-
self with an opposing Democratic fac
ton, how could harmony be expected,
especially In the approval OF snch fla
grant breach Of party duty. The rank
and file of the Republicans of Virginia
cannot lie transferred to the Readjuster
faction, even should the Lynchburg
convention be packed with willing in
struments to attempt it. There is but
one way to bring about harmony in the
Republican party, and that is to con-
form to its usages, proclaim its princi-
Piles, preserve Its organization and vote
for its candidates. Mr.. Lewis does not
purpose to act thus. On the contrary
he has declared in his action, against
such policy, and thrown himself into
the arms of few Democratic scheming
place hunters, to do their bidding, in
the destruction of the Republican Or
ganization in Virginia.
There are Republicans and Republic
cans who will not consent to such kind
of Bossism, and will make their protest
very distinctly and emphatically known
during the can vass. IfMr. Lewis chooses
to be bossed by Mr.. Malone, that is his
business, but there are thousands Of Re.
publicans who will not In turn be boss
ed by Mr.. Lewis and made to slavishly
follow the refuse of the malignant DEM
ocratic party of Virginia, and the most
malignant and proscriptive element of
that Democracy"

A Card from Rev. DR.. Mutually.

Inc Richmond Wha0 OF the 10Th ult.,
contains the following news item:-
REV. DIR. Mutually, of Lexington,
preached 'Damnation' to Readjusters'
Sunday, the 18th instant. His text was
The Evil of Drunkenness, which he
treated under three heads list, The
Dishonesty of Readiusters End, Read
justment and Off1ce>seeking; 3rd,, The
Beauties Of Fundefism. He also re-
marked, in passing. that Lexington
should have temperance lodge"
In reference to the above, DR.. Mullal-
" writes as follows:-
LEXINGTON, VA, July 9th, 1881.
To the Editor of the State -
desire to say that the item in the
Richmond Wing of the 18th instant,
which contains my name, lie an utter
Misrepresentation. There is no hing in
1t from top to bottom but positive fic-

and it Is hard TO see how any one could
be guilty Of such q fabrica.ion; but per-
haps the author is crazy.

LEXINGTON, VA, July 9th, 1881.
Messrs. Editors:-The statement
made in connection with my name in
the Richmond Wing of yesterday, is an
utter Misrepresentation. To convince
you of this It is only necessary to lay be
fore you the plan of the discourse which
I did deliver in Lexington, Va, by in
vitation of the Good Templars of this
town on the 18th inst. The theme was
Drunkenness. So far, and only 80 far,

sist the temptation of stealing kiss fol
every tooth he extracted. The young

cided to be even with him, and so on

went to the Office and presented the

charged one dollar each for the foul
kisses, and added; please remit the
balance, two dollars.n He paid the

The clamor about the State debt is q
fraud, because the Readjusters know
they cannot re-adjust it. The clamor
about the poverty of Virginia is fraud,
because they know that the State was
never in more prosperous condition,
and is amply able to pay every dollar
she owes. The cry about liberalism is
q fraud, because they had been the most
illiberal, until they were kicked out of
the Democratic party, and now wish to
get power through the very elements
which they had prescribed, denounced,
and prosecuted. And Republicans are
