ALetter from Belleview.

Having some private business to transact
in the west end of Iron county, and wishing
to attend the annual meeting of the Baptist
Church at Mount Pleasant on the fourth
Sabbath in July, set out on the morning Of
the preceding Wednesday; and, after a hot
and weary tramp, found 3 home for the
night in the pleasant family of Mr.. Carroll
Crocker, on the old Clayton farm. On the
route for one mile stretch I saw but one man
and few birds and animals, among others
one deer that came out of the Saltpetre Cave
Hollow and passed over toward Clayton
creek. I found Mr.. Croker battling man.
fully against Universalism and Roman Ca
tholicism, in regard to the preaching to the
spirits in prison. 1 lifted him out, and will
in the near future furnish him a written ar
s,ument which will enable him to hold the
fort. At noon on Thursday I reached Mr..
Charles X. Nenderson's, where l rested dur
ing the afternoon and night. On Friday
called on Mr.. Joseph Strickland and Mr..
Nelson Hawk, spending the day very pleas
antly. at Mr.. Strckland's [ met Mr.. Pat
tcrson, 4 teacher from Washington county.
He is very aftable young gentleman. had
been told that he held a teachers certificate
equal TO nine. On a showing Of hands, he
lacked twenty points, he having p to my 81
out of II hundred. Notwithstanding all the
abuse, hardship and i'll treatment to which I
am subjected to, it is pleasant to know that
in average scholarship l carry the horns.
On Friday evening l came to Mr.. James
Strickland's. On Thursday he found bee
tree near his house. On Friday his neigh
bors assembled, bringing an outfit of buck
cts and stOmachs sufficient to have carried
off the tree. A few blows of the AK brought
down the tree, and the results were Il very
small stock Of comb, about one spoonful of
honey and a handful of young bees. But
Mr.. Strickland housed the workers, and at
last accounts they were doing well. On Sat-
urday 1 went to Mount Pleasant Church.
By the request of the preaching brethren
discussed the subject of "Christian Ambi-
tion," showing what the true Christian de-
sired to know, to do and to be. My remarks
We're listened to with very courteous and re-
spectful attention. AS the immediate neigh.
borhoOd of the church was crowded with Wis
itors and some of my business was west of
the ridge, on Saturday evening I called on
my young friends, Adam and Edward Hem
dersOn, and added to the list of my acquaint
ances Messrs. Fimberson and Rea, who are
much above the average in intelligence. On
Sabbath morning, by invitation, preached
on the Communion of Saints" to the largest
assemblage of people ever gathered at that
church. The good order could scarcely be
surpassed. That congregation is now en-
joying healthy growth of good material.
On Monday morning left the house of Mrs.
Jane Henderson, and in the evening gladly
found myself in the home and surrounded
by the very pleasant family OF Mr.. John
Webb in Belleview. In that family intelli-

Onr Trust in Young Men.

Mr.. BARBOUR wants TO enlist the activity
and enthusiasm OF the young Democrats OF
Virginia in this fight. Theirs will he the
inheritance Of glory, or shame OF defeat,
which the contest will leave. To them
must we look TO cherish the memories OF
the past. For but li:,le while longer will
the CoHliiionists claim that name. They
will soon Id known as Republicans, and
next year they will be sending delegates
not to the National Democratic COnyen-
ton, but to the National Republican Con-
yention. The day is not yet arrived when
we can trust the name and fame OF LEE,
JACKSON. STUART, and PICKETT TO such Re-
publicans as now control this Government.
Heaven only knows what false doctrines
they would teach; what Outrages upon
public feeling they would commit, il they
had things all their own way.
For every gray-haired sire, for every
middle-aged man, there is post OF duty;
but the young men should bear the brunt
OF the fight. Press them into service.
Put them in the front. Load them with
responsibility. Give them the opportunity
to make names for themselves. This
done-and il will be done and all will he
well with us.

The Retiring Committees.

The Lynchburg Convention with great
unanimity and heartiness adopted reso-
luton OF thanks TO Mr.. koINER, Mr.. KEEL
LEY, and the secretary and other members
OF the retiring committees. Truly the party
owes these gentlemen debt OF gratitude.
They held the helm when the ship was al
most sinking and crowd was quitting.
After the campaign OF 1870 there seemed
scarcely break in the clouds. What dis
couragements these gentlemen encounter
cd: what difficulties they overcame; what
burdens they bore; what dangers they met,
but few know. But those who best know
can most sincerely praise them for their
courageous and intelligent management.
They deserved if they did not achieve sue
cess. The party last year came within afew
thousand OF carrying the State, and now
goes under new committee in good trim
for success.
Yes. Messrs. KELLEY and KolNER and al
deserve our lasting gratitude. Few, /. any
men could have done better. Few, il any
IN our party have done their duty more
nobly or unseliishly.

Commits ,ioner OF the Revenue THAT the
system brings in a revenue OF Sl4O,OOo,0OO
a year NJ a cost OF only - per cent. for col
lection, and there is at present no occasion
for spies and informers." No one has ever
Thought that there was occasion for spies

In the campaign OF DANIEL against CANE

start in the work Of the canvass which
CAMERON got on our leader. lie was seve-

known as a running start. The enemy
seized several positions Of advantage De-

That. indeed, may be long delayed. As =
general thing, there Is too much OF II, ana
too much Of it from men who have NOT

The next few weeks Of the canvass should
be devoted to putting the county and city
Democratic committees in order; IN get
ting rid OF lgure-heads and useless party
officers. and in filing vacancies, organizing
clubs. and raising funds. Those who are
likely to be called upon for speeches may
well improve the time by study OF the suo-
