Mr. WI. Vaughan. a merchant residing

DAYS ago and had tooth extracted. oh
returning home his sufferngs became so
severe that he was thrown into crItical
condition, and the gravest apprehensions
are felt as to bis recovery. He has been
unconscious for the past two days.
II is understood that the Norfolk ana
Western and Richmond and Petersburg
Railroad Companies have agreed to build
fine depot building in this city for the ac-
commodation Of the Two roads. The depot
will be large and commodious one, WIN

organization has been effected in each OF

who are working with spirit and deter

confidence Of both friends ard foes. Such
active work, such thorough organization,
and such genuine hopefulness and enthu-
slasm have not before been known in this
section for many years, and the good re-
suit OF all will be seen on the day OF elec-
ton.
The nomination Yesterday at Stony Creek
OF Colonel J. W. c. Green for the House
OF Delegates for Sussex and Greensville

the times. Colonel Green is man OF
prominence, intelligence, and means
known to every man, white and colored, in

Mr.. c. Shirley Harrison, of Prince

On Monday next. September Sd, there
will be fire opened all along the lines by
the orators OF the Democratic party. There

the voters on that day that we cannot men
ton the names Of all Of them. We shall
name only those sent out by the Static Tx
ecutive Committee.
Hon. GEORGE G.. CABELL will speak at

Of the most effective speakers in the State,

In his own district.

land, will speak at Lexington. Rockbridge
intends 10 do her whole duty this year.
SAN COLEMAN las they call him on the South

Gloucester need no introduction TO him.
That county is within his own district.
General JAMES G.. FIELD will speak at
Spotsylvania Courthouse. He has pecu-
liar method Of stating his propositions
one well calculated to arrest attention. His
speech will make good impression upon
the mind Of every nearer.
Hon. john GooDE will also speak at
Gloucester Courthouse. GooDE is one OF
the most deliberate and accurate stump
speakers in the Commonwealth. He says
what he has TO say after such sort as to
leave the hearer under the impression that
nothing can be said on the other side.
Hon. JOHN W. JOHNSTON will speak in
Albemarle. We have never heard our eX-
Senator make speech, and know not how
he appears before mixed crowd. We are
confident, however, that he is well posted
and will give good reasons for the faith
that is in him.
Our townsman A. NJ. KELLEY, Esq, will
speak at Isle Of Wight Courthouse. KELLEY
has an eloquent tongue. All, but he is
broth OF boy. Individually he has kissed
the blsrney-stone. II you want to hear

Franklin Courthouse. Everybody has
heard him speak. Whoever tackles him
always finds bis hands full, as various
Democrats Of the Funder persuasion can

Anne Courthouse. "Our PHIL" has, like
Mr.. MASSEY, stumped the whole State, and
everybody knows his calibre. lie is "big

Judge O'FERIALL will speak at Grayson
Courthouse. The Judge always pleases

Give him large crowd.
TAYLOR SCOTT, Esq. will speak at Lex

BAKER z. LEE, Esq, Mt Powhatan Court
house, and one by DR.. S. ii. MoFFETT at
