EDITOR SPECTATOR:-Those who visited
Spottsylvania ten or twelve years ago would
be uipr;sed were they to visit it now.
Then all business was stagnated and the
very atmosphere seemed to voice s'bard
times" During the past ten years saw
mills, sulphur, copper, and gold mines have
started up, the effect of which is felt by the
whole comfy.
There is gold mine near Belmont post
Office that is owned by JAS L.Powell, ESQ.,,
and others, which yields on an average $25
to a ton of ore. 1t has been running but a
short time, and from present appe arances
will be paying concern. 1t is 10 charge of
G. L. Straughan, Esq, who is an expert
enced mining engineer. He says that $780,
600 worth of gold was mined at cost of
1000. The machinery necessary for the
operation of the mine cost $23, 900 and is
eff the latest improved kind. The prospects
of the mine are exceedingly bright.
A charter has been granted James L.
Powell, G. L. Straughan, Jas. Moore and
- Cammack for new railroad through
the upper end of the county. The road will
run fromAthe neighborhood of Belmont to
Fredericksburg, and when built will make
Spottsylvania one of the most prosperous
counties in the State: as all it lacks now is
transportation facilities.
There is not much political talk in the
county, nearly everybody with whom 1
have conversed seeming to regard it as a
foregone conclusion that Malone will be
buried next November to the tune of 25, 900
or 800 majority. Spottsylvauia will do
her best to uphold the honor and dignity eff
our dear old Commonwealth.
The crops are better here than they have
been for number of years and the heart of
the farmer is thereby made cheerful, his
beaming counteuance betokening that
dull care'' has left "for "parts unknown.

THEY Cry HARMONY WHEN THERE Is NO
HARMoNY.-A dispatch from Petersburg
to the Philadelphia Inquirer, among other
things, says
"National Chairman Quay has been tax
ing great interest in Virginia, and bis at
Jempts to bring about harmony are being
crowned with success
Upon this the Valley Vrginian COM
ments as follows
"The harmony that is being consummated
exists only in the imagination of the writer.
The divergence is greater than ever before,
and will continue to widen as the true in,
tent and purpose of Mahonesm is disclosed
1t cannot be concealed behind tariff or any
other national question. 1t is simply aud
plainly the issue of the People against Ma
hone, as an autocrat and dictator, and par
ty lines will not be observed in meeting it.
The people of Virginia are determined that
Mahoneism shall not prevail in this State
and Northern Republicans might as we'll
understand this in time. Malone, can
didate for Governor, represents Mahonesm
and nothing else; and Mahoneism will be
showed under, in November next, by such
a majority as was never given before in
Virginia"

| NARROW ESCAPE oF DR.. FL. NJ. PATTERSON
AND HIS LITTLE SoN.-On last Friday evening,
! after o'clock. as DR.. Pattersoa and his little
son, Wilbur, aged IL years, were returning to
| to the city in buggy, and whilst passing to-
wards the bridge at the southern terminus of
| Coalter Street, after having passed through the
| arch bridge on the Greenville road o torse
which had been hitched to one of Burke's ex-
press wagons, came running at full speed with
one of the shafts of the wagon hanging to him
and passed behind DR.. Patterson's buggy and
under the arch bridge. When DR.. Patterson
reached the bridge on Coalter Street, he dis
mounted from his buggy to see what ad be-
come of the runaway horse. From some cause
the horse did mot continue up the Greenville
road. but turned back and came dashing I'M
der the arch bridge and toward the bridge
where the Doctors buggy was standing. He
spraug soou possible into his buggy be-
side his little son with the view of driving
ahead and out of the way OF the frantic runa-
way horse, il possible, but as he reached the
end of the bridge on Coalter Street. the fright
ened horse ran into the rear of his buggy
breaking the shaft, and falling at the same
moment, upsetting the buggy with the Doctor
and his son under it, who were dragged for
short distance under the buggy and were
stunned by the shock and received number
of cuts and bruises on the head, arms, legs,
and other parts of the body, but fortunately,
none of a serious character 1t was a narrow
escape from serious injury, and even death, AS
soon as the Doctor had recovered from the
shock, he drove the same night to pay a visit
to patient some miles in the country who
was needing his services.
The runaway horse fell and rolled into the
ditch alongside the street near the bridge from
which he had to be helped up.

LANGsToN AND MAHoNE.-A short time
before Langston made bis bargain with
Quay, Dudley, &C., in which he agreed to
support Malone on the promise of their us
ing their influence to get the seat in Con-
gress for which he was a candidate when
Malone took care to have him defeated, he
said in Washington
81 don't like Malone because he doesn't
like me or any other colored man. He
fought me at Chicago for the reason that
l am colored, and he opposed my election
to Congress on the same grounds. He has
always drawn the color line, and I believe
he always will. 1t is not possible for him
| to get the nomination for Governor, and he
knows it. Malone has really no following
except a few men, white and colored, who
hope he can secure them Federal appoint
ments, and these represent nothing except
their own greed. As long as Malone, as
| chairman of the State committee, follows
the path marked out for him by fhe Ma
tional Committee, he will have no trouble,
but just as soon as he deviates one iota
there will be an open revolt, which Senator
Quay and his colleagues who have the well
fare of the party in their hands will have
to heed. am a Republican, but will not
support any man who l know is hostile to
the advertisement of my race, and if this
be treason let them make the most of it. ;"
