The Edlnburg correspondent of The
Shenandoah Press says 1.-The HERALD's re-
porter is very much censured for his ar
ticle on the attempted rape case near here.
We are told the one is about as tar from
being a notorious brute" Us the other is
of being respectable lady"
In reply to the above we will say that
the information upon which the HERALD's
account of the attempted rape near Lantz's
Mill was founded ives furnished by a
gentleman of the highest standing IN that
community. We have since made care .
full investigation and from the concurrent
testimony OF number of gentlemen of
that neighborhood, all of the highest re-
spectability, we find that the account as
given in the HERALD is substantially cor
rect. The lady in question, as we are in
formed, is an orphan daughter of the late
Isaac Cash, veteran soldier of the 33rd
Va. Regt, Stonewall Brigade, these gen
tlemen have known her from childhood,
and they say that the report of the Edin-
burg correspondent of the Press is the first
breath of shame they have heard against
her. But suppose she had been an aban-
doned woman, this mans guilt would lave
been just the same in the eyes of the law
All the evidence taat we could get in the
community in which this lady lives, is
greatly to her credit, and we are glad that
it was not the HERALD that threw dirt
upon her good name and at the same time
defended the foul creature whom magis-
trate, on the sworn testimony of reputable
men, found sufficiently guilty to send on
for trial.

Valley Virginlan.

For the past week the Rev. Sam 7.
Jones has been holding a series OF meet
ings, preaching three sermons each day
to very large audiences, composed OF peo-
pie from the city, from the county and
from the adjacent towns and districts
throughout the Valley. At first his ser.
mons were offensive to the sensibility Of
many. His illustrations were not always
pleasing to fears polite" it seems that
there were method and parposo IN this.
1t drew a class of people who rarely en-
ter a church door and held them as in
terestcd hearers to much more that was
good than harm. Towards the close of
his preaching there was noticeable a
marked change in public opinion. In
stead of unsparlng denunciation, as at
fest, earnest and thoughtful praise is
beard. Mr.. Jones' wonderful versatility
of talent ; his incisiye way of putting his
arguments; his masterfnl knowledge of
human nature and the springs of human
action; his remarkable power of express
ing his thoughts and riveting In the mind
golden rules and moral and religious
truths haye struck deep into popular
consciousness, and with scarcely an ex-
ception, tie general Judgment is that he
has accomplished good. A prominent
gentleman, intellectually and every other
way, remarked to us that Sam Jones was
great man-great IN his intellectual
power, his moval courage, and his under
standing of man and the influences that
sway him. Another epitomlzed his views
pretty much the same way, adding that
he thought that Mr. Jones was doing
more to convert professed Christians than
professed sinners. He saw an awakened
interest in the Christian members Of all
classes. aud if no others were stirred and
aroused, it would be good thing to get
the Christians to working for religion
and the reformation of men who are not
of the church. The ladies were very
much in earnest thousands of them heard
| him every day domestic duties were
either neglected or arrangements had been
perfected to be absent from their homes
during the day, for they attended each
service, some of them taking their ra-
tions to the grounds, about a mile from
the city proper, reached by railroad, and
remaining there during the intermissions
in the sermons. An immense throng gath
cred at the Wagon Works on Sunday last,
coming from all parts of Augusta and adj
Joining counties to hear this remarkable
mao, who seems to be working 10 his
way for the good of fallen humanity.
Mr. Jones has an attractive face. di.
rect way of stating his case, sometimes SO
buntly as to offend, and again so pathet-
ic and tender as to draw tears from eyes
unused to the melting mood. There is a
magnetism about him, incomprehensible
and inexpllcable, which draws and holds

is to be hoped that his sermons will d,
lasting good. He closed these services OF
Sunday night and left on Monday morn

alton, and in occupation, there was rep.

borers, lawyers, barkeepers, judges, mer-
chants, farmers, preachers, doctors and

markable. for it inclnded some of the
