CORRESPONDENCE of the Staunton VINDIcAToR.l
WINCHESTER, VA, Feb. %, 1882.
There was much disappointment express
ed by the officers and soldiers of the Win
chester Light Infantry last night that Col.
VIM. L. Bumgardner was not present as
was expected, at the competitive drill of
squads of the company. There was, how
ever, good representation of officers of
the I'd Regiment, and large crowd on the
occasion at the Courthouse, which was
cleared in the centre of the large audience
room for the exercise. At eight O'Clock
the fine company, in full uniform and
equipments filed in, headed by the new
Sarah Zane Cornet Band, named in honor
of the liberal benefactor of the fire COM
panles of the city. The prize was d beau

drilled squad.'' Only two squads compe-
ted. one commanded by Lieut.. F. Blank
ner and the other by Lieut.. r. E. Tresary
After very creditable drill in the evolu-
lions and manual, which was loudly ap
plauded all through by the spectators, the
committee made the award to Lieut.. Blank
ner's squad. Capt. S. &c. Moore, of Ber-
ryville, made an appropriate presentation
speech, and Capt. John J. Williams, OF the
Light Infantry, well-known in your city,
responded handsomely on the part OF the
squad, each member Of which was there
decorated with the blue ribbon.
The visiting officers of the regiment
were afterwards handsomely entertained
at the Taylor Hotel by the officers of the
Winchester company, the whole party,
with few invited guests, having most
pleasant social time until midnight.
The soiourner in Winchester who will
take the pains to look around him will be
surprised to see the enterprise which has
been developed here. There is so little fuss
made about it that the amount OF capital
invested in manufactures and the WeaiIh
that flows into the city through this chan
mel will astound the stranger who is not
informed, and Staunton man who con-
trasts the inactivity of his own town in
that direction with what has been done
here feels like hiding his diminished head.
It may stimulate your people to go and
do likewise if they hear what their smaller
neighbor has done, and with that view l
will give you brief sketch OF the facto-
ries of Winchester.

lions of a Joyful time at the approaching
reunion of the Greenville Bachelors
Club. which will take place at the Green
vile Hotel, on Friday, March 10th.
The affair is in the hands of those who
know how to make it success. The Port
Republic band has been engaged to furn-
ish the music, Mr.. John B. Smith, the
veteran caterer, to provide the supper and
the Bachelors themselves propose to pre-
pare everything else necessary to make II
a most enjoyable affair of the season.

Editors Vandicator:
have read with great interest in your
paper of this date, an article under the
above heading, and also I'LL editorial, "a
Chance for the Young" There is much
in both articles to which every friend of
the young, who has any experience in their
ally assent. That the dangers to our
youths and young men in Staunton are
simply fearful, no one with eyes to see can
question, and how to provide a remedy is
problem of deepest interest to every low
er of his species. But do the articles
above referred to suggest remedy which
commends itself to the calm judgment of
true men? is the question. Are the means
of relief proposed, either based on a true
philosophy of the facts, or need, or likely
one, am compelled to dissent. Let US
look carefully into the philosophy of the
case, and see if it will not lead us to a diff
ferent diagnosis and remedy. This whole
plea is based upon the idea that the young
must have amusements. We all agg=ee j.,
that. But is there not question back of
that of far greater Importance, viz, this.
How shall the amusement be furnished
and by whom? What is the real source of
all this prevalent mischief? If the case is
carefully examined, 1 think it will be found

vicious habits which lead to ruin, because

appears to me none can deny, and that it
is so prevalent, must arise from some ia

city of about ten weeks. and thinking a
letter relating to things have seen and
informa ton 1 have acquired may not be
uninteresting to your readers, l proceed
to write as my thoughts may suggest. Ac
cording to my ideas of things the city it
self is not prepossessing in appearance nor
would it be pleasant to me as place of
residence. The streets are too narrow for
a large city and are paved with such large
cobble stones, that the noise occasioned by
the constant passing and re-passing of all
sorts of vehicles is disturbing element
very annoying to strangers. The side
walks are permitted to be used for the dis
play of all sorts of articles for sale. Per-
SONS in search of any articles they wish to
purchase may find them on The pavements,
and will seldom have occasion to enter
store-room. The weather does not seem to
interfere with such an arrangement. Wet,
cold, hot or dry, goods are always to be
found out of doors with statesmen persist
emily calling them to your attention. AS
a consequence people in passing are con-
tlnually tanning and lodging each other
thus rendering walking very disagrea-
Bile mode of getting about the city. lean
not imagine why the authorities allow this
manner Of blockading the walk-ways, but
suppose it is simply custom long prac-
ticed and one which the city fathers per-
baps do not dare to prohibit.

Southwark The New England States

good fortune to meet and converse with
New England men and gather from them
that many mechanics from that section

this city has thrown me mostly among me-
chanics, both workmen and managers, and

Overcrowded with mechanics and factories,

fore the war, because the raw material is
too far from their base of operation. AS
consequence, both capital and labor are
gradually going southwark and westward.
Virginia and Georgia are regarded as the
two favored States in the South. The cot

concentrated in Georgia, and alongside of
Pennsylvania, the Virginias will become
the centre of the iron and coal trade. Our

means and energies as they do in the
North. Unity Of thought and action is
what we need.
The number and variety of new iEven-
lions being made throughout the country
are almost incredible. Mechanical minds
seem to have been turned to ways of find

valuable. Men spend large sums OF mon

other lines of pursuit, some accumulate
large fortunes and others lose heavily.

CALIE6EEIA'S DEMOCRATIC STATE
CONyENTION

The Democratic State Convention OF
California meets to-day at San Jose. A
full State ticket will be nominated. The
p incipal contest will be over the nomin-
alton for Governor, for which, of course,
there are plenty Of candidates. The
following comprises Il list of tt e most
prominent gubernatorial candidates,
their estimated strength being in the
order i'm which we name them George
Hearst, General Stoneman, ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor James A. johnson,
Congressman G. p. Berry, and ex-At-
torney General 10 Hamilton. Hearst
has probably greater strength to start
with than any Of his competitors, and
dark insinuatiOnS are al out to- the effect
that the .:sack' has greatly added TO
his strength. There is, singular as it
may appear, strong s'chiv." opposition
to Hearst, including John {. Maynard,
Oscar Y. Shuck, and other chivalry
Democrats, who don't believe :: man
can be a genuine "chiv." and hal; from
Missouri. There appears to be no SYM
patty for Hearst among the other can
didates, and it is the field against him.
General Stoneman has a gcsd war
record, which is not much in his favor
just at this time ut San jose, and he
has done we'll by the people as a Rail
road Commissioner. He is reported to
have carried four or five counties at the
primaries, and has strong backing from
the southern end of California. He has
strength with the people, but the peo-
pie don't as rule run Democratic State
Conventions. General SLOVENIAN, the
APPEAL predicts, will "get left at
San Jose. Johnson, "DOc" johnson,
will have votes in the San Francisco
delegation if the Hearst party fail to
carry the unit rule. He has some outside
strength. and in the Third District,
which he has three times represented
in Congress, is considered strong. He
has good workers, and may be in a po-
sitiOn to name the candidate for Cover
nor even without being able to win the |
tght for himself. c. p. Berry, who has
been twice in Congress from the Third |
District, is a goody- goody Grange God
and morality candidate, and he is really |
too pure to be in politics, especially in
Democratic politics. Berry expects TO
divide the hay seed vote with johnson,
and failing in the gubernatsrial fight |
will piously drop into the Congressional
ENHANCEMENT. 10 Hamilton has no pos
tive strength for Gov rner, but prob
ably has an eye Oh the Attorney Cen
erai,hip, and being clever in the pc
culiar ways of Democratic ticket
makingS, may secure a place on the
ticket fer his old position. The ways
Of The Democratic convention are mys-
terious and past finding out, Fsand at
this writing no ordinary mind can tell
who will lead the "unterritied' in the
approaching campaign in California.

A :en-hour law has lately been en-
forced in the mills of Massachusetts, by
the State Inspectors. One Of the ways
in which an evasion of the statutes has
usually been attempted was by starting
before the regular hours, and alleging
that it was necessary, in order to get
the machinery in running order at the
time when work was supposed to begin.
Thus as much as two or three hours
was sometimes added per week to the
legal sixty. The Inspectors have now
decided to allow only five minutes for
starting up, and to prosecute those mill
owners who are longer about it.

that no intentional wrong was done
at the May convention. Whatever
error was committed was one of the
head and not of the heart. If there

was righted by last Saturdays conven-
