Mr.. John Rolfe, Champion Bicyclist Of
Australia and England, writes to the Argus
Melbourne, Australia, that in the six days
contest for the championship, after riding
eight consecutive hours each day, his limbs
became stiff and sore, and he is positive he
won the great race, and was enabled to ride
another 100 miles against time Immediately
afterwari, from the wonderful effects pro-
duced by the use of st. Jacobs Oil, in train
ing and racing. He calls it his boon COM
pauiou, and recommends it to all athletes.

BISMARCK towards England has been
much more frank and friendly than 1t
had been for some time, and though the
result Of the negotiations between Ber-
lin and London commenced by GLAD
STONE have not been officially made
known, Il is inferred that all danger of
a serious rupture has passed. Yet,
after all, a friendly understanding with
Germany may not Tighten the load
the new Premier received from Mr..
GLADSTONE. The position in which Mr..
GLApsToNE's Ministry was placed is
thus aptly described by contempt
rary; I" To carry out the wishes of the
Australian people would be to seriously
offend the German Government, and
might. indeed, result in war between
England and Germany. To yield to the
demands Of Germany was to give seri-
GUS offence to the Australian people
and to encourage those aspirations for
national independence. The ques-
ton now is whether SALISBURY
has so far yielded to the demands
Of Germany as to revive the lat
ter danger. The answers to that ques-
ton which will be forthcoming when the
official reports bearing upon the negotia-
tons are published will be awaited with
unusual interest.

GoocnLAYp COUNTY, July 70.
Rumor having reached me that dead
body had been found in the county, and
suspicion having been aroused that
murder had been committed, ] at once
proceeded to investigate the matter.
Just on the dividing line OF Gooch.
land and Hanover lives man named
Thomas Powers. one of large family
of children. several OF whom are al
most or quite idiotic. Franklin df'ds
Doc. Powers lived with Thomas. One
Monday about 10 o'clock Mr.. William
Thomas, while passing near the Powers
place, was hailed by Doc. and asked
for a chew Of tobacco. They had a
short conversation. Mr.. Thomas gave
the tobacco and went home. About II
or O'Clock a messenger came in and
said Tom Powers had found the dead
body of Doc. in the woods. MIR.
Thomas and others at once repaired to
the woods and found the body covered
with green brush and surrounded by
swarms Of flies. etc. Investigation
showed that horrible murder had
been committed. There was large
knot on the forehead, the mouth had
been battered and bruised, and there
were very severe bruises on the neck,
arms, and shoulders. In fact, it ap-
peared that the man had been beaten
to death.
Squire Frank Bowles was sum-
moned and tried TO get physician to
examine the body, but did not succeed.
lie appointed several citizens to exam
inc the body and note the facts. No
coroner's jury was summoned, so far as
known. The Commonwealth's attorney
was notified, and it is hoped the matter
will be thoroughly probed. The stick
with which the murder was committed
was found covered with blood and hair.

The Nominee for Governor.

The bugle sounds A LEE is in the
saddle and will ride down the enemies
ofVirginia. The Convention has begun
its work well. The people demanded
the nomination OF General FITZ HUGH
LEE for Governor, and their reprssen-
tatives have but obeyed the order.
The name alone Of LEE is worth ten
thousand votes, and is sufficient in it
self to arouse the greatest enthusiasm
throughout the length end breadth of
the Commonwealth. Added TO this
FITz HUaH LEE has clean record,
is q man of great magnetism and Of
unbounded personal popularity, and
belongs to no locality, but to
the State at large. He is as
dear to the people Of the South
west as he is to the people Of Tide
water, and is as much beloved in the
Lower Valley as he is along the North
Carolina line. He is sans pe''r ct sans
reproohe-a knightly leader, such as
men delight to follow and will force
the fighting from the beginning. In
the North he is one Of the best known
of yirginians, and the fact that he was
prominently mentioned in connection
with the nomination stimulated our
northern friends TO take unusual in
terest in the Convention.
This morning the Convention will as
semble to complete its work. General
LEE must have able lieutenants and a
platform upon which all good Virgin
ans can stand. If the Convention be
,areful in the selection Of candidates
or Lieutenant G ovevnor and Attorney
General, and in preparing that plat
orm, not only will victory crown our
Efforts, but we shall have a majority
# twenty thousand votes over WISE,
WOOD, and BLAIR.

The planters throughout this section
are manifesting great interest on the
subject of flue-cured tobacco, and
it is learned large number
of them will this year cure
their crops in that manner. This
feeling is being heartily encouraged by
our merchants and tObaccOnists, who
promise good market for flue-cured
tobacco. Hitherto but little bright to-
bacco, comparatively, has been sold in
this market, but the prospects are that
the condition of things in this respect
will in future be very materially
changed. The outlook at present is
favorable to large crop of the weed in
the Southside this year.
The rain yesterday is said to have
been particularly heavy in Dinwiddie
county. In portions Of the county con-
siderable damage was done by wash
ing, and the small streams were greatly
swollen by the fall Of water.
1t is said that Petersburg will shortly
lose one, if not two, Of its most enter
prising and worthy merchants, who
contemplate removing TO the Old North
State.
Mr.. Alexander Aldridge, native of
Virginia, and for many years a wealthy
landholder Of Surry county, died last
evening at Burkeville. Mr.. Aldridge
was the uncle Of Messrs. Charles and
John q. Jackson, of this city. For the
past several years he had been residing
here. His death was Sudden and unex-
pected. He was seventy years old. His
remains arrived here to-day over the
Norfolk and Western railroad, and were
inferred in Blandford cemetery.
Dir. b. j. Rogers, clerk of the School
Board of this city, has completed the
school census Of the city. Mr.. Rogers
entered upon this labor on the 18th Of
June, and the result shows that we
have in Petersburg, in round numbers,
school population Of 9,l00. OF the
total number Of names enrolled more
than 5000 are those Of negroes. The
school facilities here are excellent, and
there is now ample accommodation for
those who seek entrance into the public
schools. ROBIN ADAIR.

Salisbury and bismarck.


While the new English Ministry was
in process Of formation it was claimed
by Lord SALIsBURY's friends that one
Of the great advantages that would re-
suit to England from making him Prime
Minister would be the popularity he
enjoyed at most Of the continental
courts. This popularity, it was
predicted, would enable him to
arrive at an understanding with some
Of the other powers touching certain
complications that had, under Mr..
GLADsToNE's administration, threat
ened to interrupt seriously the friendly
relations between England and those
Powers. The prediction seems to have
been fulfilled in degree, at least as
far as the relations Of England vita
Germany are concerned. Among
the legacies the SALISBURY Gov
eminent received from Mr.. GLAD
STONE was the New Guinea trouble. 1t
will be remembered that the Austria
lians, becoming uneasy at the growth Of
German commerce in the South Pacific
islands, demanded Of the English Gov
eminent the annexation Of New Guinea.
The Home Government failed, to
respond to this demand, and the
Government of Queensland took
the matter in their own hands and pro-
claimed that all the eastern portion of
the island and the archipelago were
British possessions. Lord DERBY re-
pudiated the act, but, owing to colonial
representations, subsequently sent an
English commission to the south coast
ofNew Guinea and formally took possess
sion Of that portion of the island. How
ever, this did not satisfy the colonists.
When the matter was debated in the
Queensland Parliament state Of feel
ing was developed that the Home Gov
eminent could not afford to disregard.
Indeed, the utterances of some of the
members limited strongly at indepen-
dence, and were but little less ominous
than the utterances OF some of the
leaders in the American colonies Just
prior TO the American Revolution
Of T16. In Difference to such
warning the GLADSTONE Government
announced that il had extended the
British possessions in New Guinea so as
to take in the north coast as we'll as the
south and all Of the island east Of the
14lst degree Of longitude. When this
was reported in Berlin BISMARCK
stated that, trusting in previous de-
cision Of the English Government, he
had ordered the German flag to
be hoisted on the north coast of
New Guinea and on the islands Of New
Ireland and New Britain. A sharp ex-
change of diplomatic notes between
London and Berlin followed, and while
that correspondence was going on BIS
MABcK used the following threatening
language in the ReichStag: ." If the
English Government adopts the opinion
Of some Of the subjects Of the Queen
in regard to our foreign policy it will
not be possible for us to aid the English
policy in q number Of other questions
in which she has lively interest with |
