city of Petersburg has 80 sadly fallen away
from her Gld-time majorities and your
own county of Louisa that once gave over
700 majority, is now very Close county,

of Republican strength with the ever faith

pushed the vote up from 578 in 1880 to
6 1889 in 1887, and in which we have grad
ually reduced the Democratic majority
from 2, 500 to 600, with an unfagging pur-

SKETCH OF THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
BUILDING.
The history of the old church building
shortly to disappear, and of the early ex-
istence of the congregation that built it,
is very interesting at this time, and we
are indebted to David Butcher, Esq, the
Oldest member of the congregation, and to
other sources, for the facts that FOLLOW.
Thirty-eight years ago little congrega-
tiOn Of about nine Lutherans Worshiped
in a rented room which formed part of
the old Bell Tavern on New Court House
street, and which was later the counting
room of the VINDICAToR office Tie
congregation consisted of Col. George
Baylor and wife, Mrs. Venable, MIR. Slen-
ker, Miss Elvira Davis, ard David Butcher.
and wife, and perhaps one or two more.
They worshiped there for two ears, and
:hen in the lower story of the present
Masonic Hall, while the new church was
building. The pastor was Rev. John B.
Davis who had been minister of charge
at NeWtowu. Frederick county, and who
came here in 1850 OF 1851. His second
wife was daughter of Paul Sieg. Of
Augusta, and he is still living, being now
a resident of North Carolina. The Evan
gelical Lutheran Synod of Virginia had
been establishing churches in the country
section, but about this time had decided
to turn their attention to building up
churches in the towns. Their Financial
Agent was Rev. DR.. Lewis Eichelber ger

day evening at the BEE office of
those persons who are opposed to

niversary of emancipation, which
occurs on the 10Th of April next,
and the following we're adopted:
Resolved, That street parades OH
April 10th, the anniversary of the
emancipation of slaves in the

expensive and tend to degrade
our day OF liberty and those who
enjoy the freedom of emancipa-
tion.
Resolued, That we, the colored

and request all citizens to attend
the evening exercises under the

Mesdames Anna Fosque, and Isa

Plummer, Jas. Wayland and the
Star Glee Club, of Howard Univer-
sity. Miss Bateman will soon make
good singer and her fine stage
and stately appearance add great
ly to her singing.
There were fully 500 people at
the 18th st. Presbyterian Church on
last Monday night. The occasion
was something new, a quartette
concert under the direction of
Trustee Aaron Russell which was
| in every particular success. The
instrumental quartette by Signor
Vincenzo and others, was pretty
fair. The duette by Miss Garnett
and Mr.. Spencer Green, of the AS
bury Church choir, was excellent.
They sang with ease and sweet
ness. Mr.. Green also sung ''The
old Arm Chair" which brought forth
an enthusiastic applause. Miss
Garnett has a very sweet voice and
will no doubt be am ong the stars
soon. Singing is natural with Mr..
Green. The solo by Mrs. Sallie
Waring, slowed at last,' was not
rendered with much effect. Her
position on the stage, while 1t is
dignifed, is rather stiff. Miss Cora
Thomas, who has a sweet voice
sung in quartette, hence she did
not show to an advantage. It was
regretted that Miss Cora did moi
sing one of her favorite solos. The

nothing in the charges made
against me by the officers of the
Fifth Battalion, aud therefore he
took no notice of them except to
refer them to Col, Clay, and he
(Col. Clay, after taking all the
evidence, decided TO hold no sess-
lou of the court, but reported on
the evidence to Gen. Ordway.
Gen. Ordway Immediately Or
dered an inspection of Companies
A and b. and they failed to make
one point in five. and then l was
notified by the general command
ing that the battalion would not be
allowed To remain in the service,
as the officers were incompetent.
