DoN'T BETRAY CoNPIDEEoE-
Treachery is q detestable fault there
fore let nothing tempt you to betray
secret con6ded to your honor
What if the friend who once trusted
you, and told you all the secrets Of
his heart, has become your enemy?
You are still bound to keep yogsr
word inviolate, and preserve locked
in your heart the secrets confidenti-
ally made known to you. A man Of
principle will never betray an ensmy.
He holds it Christian duty never
10 reveal what in good faith was
placed in his keeping. While the
Albanians were at war with Philip,
King Of Macedon, they intercepted q
letter that the king had written to
his wife Olympia. IL was returned
unopened, that it might not be read
in public-their laws forbidding them
TO reveal q secret. Among tka Egyp-
tians. it was criminal offense to di-
vulge secret. A. priest who had been
found guilty Of this offence was or
dered to leave the country. Have
you anothers secret in your keep
ing? Then reveal il not for the
world. A con6ding friend may tell
you hundred things, which. If whis-
pered abroad, would bring him into
contempt aud ridicule, and iniure his
character through life. No one is so
upright that he may not have COM
mitted some ungentlemanly act, or
some impure offence, which may have
been done years ago. before the in
dividual's character was formed. and
before he had wife and children.
Would it not DO q PROCLAMATION Of the
most social duties, in fit Of anger,
or out Of malice or revengs, to diVulge
a secret like this9 A mans enemies
would not care whether it was the
fault Of his thoughtleas youth or his
maturer years. 90 long a. they could
make handle Of il TO his injury, and
thus effect their purpose. Be careful.
then, never. under any consideration
whatever, to repeat what has been
whispered to you in the confidence
Of friendship. A bstrsyer Of secrets
il Ct only for the society Of the low
and vile.

FIGHTING AT RAMLEH.

Maior-Gen. Wood and staff made q
reconissance from the outposts at
Ramleh yesterday without any inien-
ton Of engaging in serious military
operations. When near Arab Pasha's
outposts the enemy sent a steady
shower Of rife bullets, accompanied by
rockets and shells, from batteries mask
ed BY trees. About o'clock in the
evening the British isOnclad tram sent
out d car with a 40-pouuder detached
and sent about forty yards in advance OF

Egyptians, who endeavored to execute
a flanking movement. The 4O-pounder
after this movement was frustrated,
fired towards KaG-el.Dwar. The
Esyptiaus replied with shell, which
burst between the train and the engine.
Tie train then retired, licins during the
retreat. Another sh.ll exploded near
the train, between the rails. Tie tram
finally retired without damage. The

On Tuesday last. the Congressional
Convention of the It'll District which
met in this city, nominated on the first
ballot, Col. Chas. Il. O'Ferrall Of
Rockingham, as the staudard.bearer OF
this Congressional District.
He is a gentleman of talent and
heroism, who is entitled 10 the votes OF
every Democrat in the District, and we
hope that no Democrat will fail 10 vote
for him. AS we stated last week, it was
the duty of the Convention 10 make the
nomination, and the duty OF every Dem
ocrat TO vote for the nominee, whoever
he might be. Col. O'Ferrall deserves,
and we have 20 doubt will receive, the
vote, and enthusiastic support OF every
Democrat in the District. 1t is not 10
be supposed that every man can obtain
his first choice, but il is the duty oil
every man to support the nominee Of
the Convention, whoever lie may be.
Col, Chas. I. O'Ferral was the choice
of the delegates Of the District, as
was shown by the fact that he was
nominated on the first ballot by a ma
iority Of the delegates of the District.
He is a gallant nan and a true Demo-
crat, aud deserves the cordial support
of every Democrat in the District.
Whether be be your first choice or not
it is now your dtdy 10 vote for him. The
Convention has declared him as the
choice of that body, composed OF repre-
entatiyes from all parts Of the District.
and it Is your duty to vote for him and
TO woik for his election. To suppose
that each and every one can get bis
choice is absurd, aud it is a virtue to
vote for the man who is not your
first choice, whilst it is none to vote
for Your first choice. The friends
of Skinner and Woods should rally
as one man, as we have 10 doubt
they will, 10 the support OF tho gallant
O'Ferrall, the choice Of the District,
and the nOmisee Of the parly.-Specta-

THE Mahoneltes now abuse the
father of readjustment whose praises
they sang throughout the Common
wealth but short time ago. They
pretend to telieve that he is traitor,
that he was corrupt years ago. and yet
they placed him in one oil the most
important offices in the State. Why is
it? Simply because ParsOn Massey
will not wear the collar and do as Ma
hone says. The people say that Mas
sey is right and they will support him,
in opposition to any man whose Chief
recommendation is seryile obedience TO
Malone. Massey says he will vote
with the Democrats and that he Is a
Democrat. Wise, Dawson and SYphax
are all committed to the Republican
party. Massey will act with lhe
Democrats and for tie interest Of the
people of Virginia, while the Other
candidates Will be controlled by Nor
thern Radicals and their sub. boss, Billy
Malone.

DO you believe that Massey went

The above is a fair question propouu-
ded to the Chronicle by the Richmond

Yes, sir. We believe it because Mr..
Massey says so. This paper has never
assailed bis personal integrity, and does
not believe that he has lied about this
matter. Nor can we credit the tes!i'
mony OF witness who begs a man that
has offered him a bride TO so align him.

In speaking Of the nomination OF
Col. O'Ferrall, the Charlottesville
Chronicle says -
ave need scarcely say that the
party-standard could have been placed
in no hands more competent to bear
it aloft in the thickest Of the fight or
defend it more courageously from the
assaults of its enemies. His ringing
voice and the flash Of bis cleaning
sabre will gather the Democratic
hosts around it, and in solid column
they will charge the ranks of the foul
coalition. The excellent service rem
dered by this gallant Knight of tbe
Valley in the last canvass deserved
recognition, and has not been forgot

Democracy of this portion of the dis
trio. we feel authorized to pledge
