LETTER FROM ORANGE.

Correspondence OF the Alexandria GAzETTE.)
ORANGE, Co., July 20, 1SS4.-Yestcrday being
court day. mass meeting was held to select dele
gates to the nominating convention which will
assemble in Alexandria, the 9th prox. The
impression prevails that there will be no opposi-
ton to Mr.. Barbour before the convention, but
our delegation of twelve will be solid for him at
all events The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved, That this meeting would be untrue
to itself, and unmndful of its obligations to
faithful and able representative in the Congress
of the United States, if it failed to put on record
its high appreciation of Hon. John S. Barbour;
who, in broader field than the 9Th Congressional
district. has proven himself worthy the conf
dence-as he has earned the grattude-of all the
good people of Virginia.
Resolved That we ratify the nonnations made
by the National Democratic Convention at Chi
cago and applaud the wisdom OF the assembled
delegates of all the States who in their selection of
candidates stilled the voice of faction in the unan-
im0us acclaim of reform.
We have had abundant rains lately, and every
thing is growing finely. Barring few exccp-
tionally fine crops the yield of wheat in Orange
has been a great Disappointment. With short
crops and shorter prices, the farmers are rather
down in the mouth.
There has lately been brought into prominent
notice mineral spring on the farm OF Capt. Philip
Il. Jones' near Rapdan station, but in this comfy.
which seems to possess wonderful therapeutic
properties. Cures OF many types OF chronic dis
eases have been effected by the use of the water.

whom he practised for forty years, who lived in Il
half mile of the spring and would drink n, other
water One of them died at the ago of one hum
dred aud ton, the other one hundred and thirty
years. Undoubtedly these old ladies were be-
lieved to be of those ages respectively. when they
died. as can be established by the testimony OF
some Of the most reputable and credible citizens
of the county. 1t is shrewdly suspected that the
old doctor himself carries around with him Il

GENERAL MALONE is one idea man. In
his present-as in all his past campaigns
since he deserted the democratic party, OF
which he was an ultra, proscriptiye and un-
scrupulous member-his idea is to keep the
negroes solid and to divide the white vote.
He told newspaper interviewer in New
York three years ago that if he could only
divide the whites he could get any majority
he desired from the negroes. To divide the
whites, therefore, is his chief object. But
its accomplishment seems impossible, for the
reason that the solidity of the negroes COM
pels the whites to touch elbows in order to
own and the States interests.

From an orbit calculated by Messrs Chan.
dler and Wendall, at the Harvard college
observatory, it appears that the comet dis
covered by Mr.. Barnard, at Nashville Tenn,
is approaching the sun. 1t will pass its per-
ihelion on Aug. II, at about 100 100000
miles from the sun. It's distance from the
earth is 81 ,OOO,0 900 miles. 1t is not percep-
tibly varying, its inclination is very small
and it's motion direct, peculiarities which
suggest a periodical comet. Its brightness
increases slightly, but it will not become
visible to the naked eye.
