We arrived In town at IL O'Clock, an0,

number had gone TO meet The orator. Ibe
PROCESSION soon made its appearance,
headed by the Mount Airy band, whose
soul.stIrring music enliyened tue scene:

The ball was opened by Colonel Cabel,
our honored representative In Congress, In
a sneech Of an hour in length, In which the
onesiions involved in this canvass were ably
discussed. The speaker was frequently ana
loudly appIauded. Our people are always
delighted 10 hear the gallant Cabell.
MAJOR DANIEL WAS YExT INTRODUCED
BY Judge Bowler. He arose amid Tue
shouts OF the multitude. Every knee did
not bebd, but every tongue seemed 10 pay
tributel When we have said that John w.
Daniel made a speech, we feel that we have
said enough. No word Of ours can do even
partial Justice TO the speaker, or tbe cause
be represents. For true logic. nnanswer-
able reasoning, and stirring eloquence, or
for any other ingredient necessary 10 nlake
IN a great and powerful speech, his effort
was UNSURPASSED by anything ever heard
within the limits OF Blue-Ridge Virginia.
Every argument, every device. and every
line OF defence set up by the Malone mon
grels were met and scattered to the WIND.
While listening 10 bis speech we were
carried back in memory TO the earlier ana
| darker DAYS OF the nations history, when
the words OF Patrick Henry and others OF
great renown thrilled the hearts OF our
forefathers and enlisted their sympathy
and aid in the cause OF freedom. We
thought OF the trials and
TRIUNPHs OF THIS III COMMONWEALTH,
and wondered IL IL could be possible, with
| the recollection OF all her past renown, that
the ticket headed by such a man as Daniel
could be beaten by such 4 mongrel cosii-
ton as the Malone ticket. We looked
around upon The f1ces OF the audience,
composed in part Of R'adiusters and Re-
| publicIns, and noted the couDtenances OF
approval, and we felt that Virginia is safe.
| The orator spoke for nearly two hours, and
was often greeted with prolonged applause.
DIR. MonteIro followed, and was loudly
apDlauded.
Virginia looks with pride upon Der long
list Of great men, six Of whom have been
| called to preside over the deStinies oil the
republic. Daniel is the Patrick Henry OF
our times, aud the proudest day in Vir-
| ginia's history will be when john w. Dam
iel is made her Governor.
DANIEL sEREYADED.
Tonight Daniel was serenaded at the
| Texas House, and responded IN a short but
eloquent speech. General Walker, Colonel
Cabell, and others responded TO calls. You
may give notice that Carroll is contestiUg
for the honor OF being the banner COnser-
vaiive county OF the State add expects to
win.
After a three days rain on a thirsty soil
pastures that had grown scar have again put
| on their mantle Of green, which must soon
| wither under the bllghting irosts Of autumn.
| Streams that had gone dry again run their
| wobted channels. Crops prove better than
| was expected, and farmers can hardly be
said TO be despondent. All are thankful for
the rains, and seeding will no longer be de.
layed. Hastily, OREsTEs.
