The "cullud brother" Is not exempt
from his enemies among his own color, rs
illustrated FRIDAY night. Charles Terrell
is burlv black who bldck-smiths In the
town. He ought TO be Rugged with aztec
ton by those OF his race on account OF ms
officous partisanship. but, on the contrary,
IA he was peacefully vending ms way ne
was set upon. seized, and cut nigh unto
death" A cash upon his throat, IN the at
tending physicians opinion, needed OILY
pms thickness greater 10 have caused
death. Developments will be interesting
whom the arrests are made and trial ~ hau,
the parties attacking having been recog-
nlzed by the party assaIled.
SOCIETY MATTERS.
George W. Clarke. Esq. whose office as
secretary and treasurer of the Anderson
CIV. Va BrownstOne Company IS IN klch-
mond, gave a select party at bis handsome
home, on the suburbs of this place, FRIDAY,
night. SIR. Clarke is i" English, You know"
and his guests were largely Of his nation
atty. but few of Richmond's e DO" tons
were present to enjoy the occasion.
ADroD0s of society matters (and pardon
this infringement upon your springs re-
ports, which occupy so interestingly as
well as largely your cOlumns), ] would al
lude TO a grand and elegant party given
last week at the residence of Captain Camm
PattesOn, in buckingham county. where
were assembled n c0te-ie rather, galaxy OF
beauty and youth, numbering largely more
than an hundred, who trod the may and
enioved Captain PattesOn's Cthe Silver
Man's") hospitality to the utmost.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
~ II no.. lc vt,,,. tho slppal -
between this place and Richmond daily on
the James River division of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, has a little son who has
suffered worse than death IN the past few
DAYS. His fondness for jumping upon
wagons was not unlike that Of the average
small boy, but fall he did, and a four-horse
loaded wagon rolled along his foot. and
now the doctor must amputate several OF
his toes. Lockjaw has been feared.
DEMAND FOR VIRGINIA SERVANTS.
II is astonishing how many colored ser
wants find employment IN the small State
of New jersey from this State. There are
perhaps more than an hundred from this
immediate vicinity now, andthe demand Is
SO great that q colored labor-agent Is ac-
tually here soliciting thor services. This
would not be so striking had not your cor
respondent visited other sections OF VIZ
pinia from which there was even greater
hepira than from this. These wage-earn-
ers get from SIS TO $50 a month as cooks
and house-servants.
REVIVAL.
Rev. j. r. Daniel closed q revival at Flu
wanna church yesterday at which there
were between forty-five and fifty CONVEX
sions. and consequently additions to the
Baptist church. Mr.. Daniel was unaided
i'm his efforts and his good work was ac-
complshed in six days. His meeting closed
yesterday.
The dry weather il again scorching vege-
tation. and while the corn crop on the
rivers is largely made the highlands are
suffering. Our farmers are hopeful that
the prices of grain may continue 10 rate
high. and Richmond, as usual, will get the
shipments.
