geon in the United States army before
the late war and was distinguished
medical director in the Confederate SER
vice. Afterwards and for several years
BIO was superintendent Of the Western
Lunstic Asylum and physician Of
wide practice in this community.
His friends here at various meetings
determined to erect a suitable monu-
ment to his memory over the grave, 10
Winchester, where be was buried beside
his ancestors.
From designs furnished by Captain
J. g. Marquis, Of this city, ono OF
beautiful white Italian marble was Sc
lected. It is ii feet high, half spiral
and half cottage in style, mounted
with handsome hand-worked Urn. 1t
il 2 feet 8 inches square at the base

Erected by hIs many friends in Staun-
ton, Va, among whom he ministered as
beloved ph ysician for twenty years, In tes-
,imopy OF the many virtues. stainless char
acief, and noble worth OF man who
adorned his profession and reflected honor
upon his State In war and In peace
The committee of gentlemen already
named who had this work in hand
have been TO Winchester, and find their
design completed in manner which
reflects credit upon Captain Marquis,
who executed it, charging only its cost
10 him.
Recently the Dispatch correspondent
referred TO the progressive spirit Of the
people Of Augusta in the matter Of
building substantial bridges at some of
the principal crossings of streams often,

- the Lynchburg Convention
Elected.
lCorrsspondenes Of the Riohmond D!spatch.l
fiNcAsThE, VA, August 0, 1856.
An unusually large crowd Was in
Fineastls to-day. The contest between
Captain j. II. II. Figgat and W. N.
Johnston, ESQ, for the congressional
delegation from this county had brought
many Of the friends OF these gentlemen
together, and the courthouse was 80
r depsely packed that it was found I'M.
possible to transact any business SO
the excited crowd moved to 9 lawn
on the outskirts of the town,
and, after vain effort to elect
. permanent chairman, the chairman
Of the Executive Committee, Judge
William u. Simmons, upon the re-
commentator Of the candidates, sp-
pointed r. T. Glasgow, Esq, Of Lex
ipg.on, to preside over the meeting,
Who appointed NJ. w. Camper, ESQ.,,
secretary. The crowd was nearly
equally divided between Figgst and
Johnsion---the former securing the del
egstes from the Fincastle and Amster-
dam districts, the latter the delegation
from the Buchanan district. The dele
gates go unhstructsd. This division in
the delegation virtually destroys the
chances OF getting q Botetourt man in
Congress this time. II is more than
likely that Mr.. Johnston will withdraw
rem the contest, in which case it is
,iehly probable that the delegation will |
,e solid for Captain Figgat.

RIsmarcls.s Model Household.

On the score of morals the German
statesman is irreproachable. His affec-
ton for his wife and children is deep, and
in return he is made the object Of con-
slant attentions. His SAUNDERS, his mo-
ments of leisure, and even his amuse-
ments are carefully guarded against in
terruption by his family, who forestall
his slightest wishes share in his pleas
ures and seek to make him forget his
cares. In this respect the princes is in
deed a model household. So charming
is his home that the chancellor never &C
cepts any invitations except those Of the
emperor He never goes to theatres, TO
banQuetS, or 10 balls.
Still he is very hOspitable, and the
guest chambers at Varzin and Friedrichs-
ruhe are frequently occupied by distin-
guiShed men In Berlin he receives the
masculine portion of the Corps Diplo-
matique" once year, and frequently
gives parliamentary dinners which have
a political significance. The chancellor
is an interesting talker, having an mex
haustible fund of anecdOte which he
draws upon the more readily as he is sure
Of the strictest attention. He does not
brook contradiction, and his excessive ir-
reliability sometimes leads TO unpleasant
scenes, for which, however, he has the
pOEteneSS TO apologize when his ill-hu-
NOR is spent.-New York Graphic.

f.isinrstonia. on Lake Nrassa.

1t was q bitter disappointment when
Mr.. Kerr arrived at IivingStOnia, on
Lake Nyassa, and found the place aban.
doned but there was a cOmical side to his
landing at the place. Drawing near the
shore in q canoe, he saw crowds of people
approaching, and in the midst was man
with q red umbrella. Full of expectation
he stepped ont upon the beach with q
carefully cherished letter Of greeting in
his hand. Disappointment had not been
wanting in its share of comedy. When
stepped ashore / proceeded with the
greatest confidence toward the brilliant
umbrella, being fully convinced that it
was the grateful shelter of some Chris
tian divine, but on nearing the emblem
of civilization found a very black and
sorrowful-lOoking individual under the
red and torn Bingham. This melancholy
mortal could speak q few words of
broken English, so that when inquired
where the white men were, he said:
''Yeree seek country, All dead, all
goner'

thor to reflect on the futility of mission
