General Armstrong.

Advices by mail state that General
Samuel G. Armstrong had stroke
of paralysis, November 18th, while
an one Of his tours in Massachusetts.
It was very severe attack, and his
friends wrote very discouraglngly IN

improved beyond all expectations,
and that there was reasonable hope
of his recovery.

We're In It!

On every hand WE hear complaints
Of dull times and no trade. Not so
with OUR establishment. WE are as
busy as bees not exactly rushed to
death, but we've got our hands full.
We thought we had big stock of
those Elegant Silk Shirts, but we
were mistaken they are nearly all
gone-only a few of the choicest ones
are left. Don't lose your chance.
We were told the other day that
one of our local concerns had sold
out their entire stock of ladies' hand
some silver buckled carriers. We are
glad of it but don't forget you
can't make much use of them with
out a Handsome Pair of Stockings.
We haven't got any carriers to sell,
but we've got the handsomest lot of
Ladies Hose your eyes ever set on.
Just take a look at the line of Silks
we are showing-they'll make your
eye-balls jingle. You can get almost
any color you wish, either plain or
laced. We have so many different
shades we haven't room to show
them all and if there is any color
you wish that you don't see, just
shout. We've got some cheerful clerks
to wait on you, and if you are not
prepared to buy it don't matter, we
are glad to have you come.
A cold wave seems to have struck
our city, and we are astonished at
the lack Of enterprise displayed by
our great dailies in not discovering
the cause of it before this. Why, a big
iceberg has been humping up against
the northern end of this island for
several days, and from the report
received from our correspondent on
the spot, its likely to stay there for
some time. To keep you from freez-
ing, and a recurrence of those rheu-
matte pains, we would advise you to
get some of our DR.. Jaeger's SAM
tary Wooden Underwear. They can't
be beat this kind Of weather we've
got 'em in all sizes. You can see a
line of them in our Merchant street
window as you pass along.
While speaking of Underwear, it
may not be amiss to remind you that
we carry a full line of Silk Balbrig-
gan and Gauze Underwear, Scriven's
Patent Elastic-seam Drawers, and
Gents Half-Hose in great variety.

Here we are at the beginning Of Fair
week. with the promise of good weather
and with the cheering assurance that the
entries III the various departments and TOR
the races viii make an exhibition well
worth the attention OF country and city
people both.
The society is moreover fortunate in the
possession of ample buildings, which 1t
did not have prior 10 the Exposition Of
1858. So, should there be a bleak day,
visitors need not be exposed t. the dis
comfort Of the weather, but may make
themselves CHEEKY within the halls and
corridors. where most Of the exhibits will
tc displayed.
1t IS gong to be a frst-rate Fair. The
prospects for 1t have greatly improved Of
late, and We expec: that the city will DO
well filed with visitors from all parts Of
this State and from other states.
Supplementary to the attractions OF the
fair proper We may mention the sham
battle, the uaveiling of the WIcKHAM
statue (at Monroe Park, the races, the an
nual reunion OF the Virginia Division Of
the Army of Northern Virginia. the meet
ing Of the Fleld-Sports Association, &c
all OF which will furnish entertainment
and instruction for tho people.
ON Thursday there Will be a general sus-
pension of business here. and our public
spirited merchants and manufacturers
Will. no doubt. gladly arrange their bank
ing affairs on the 2Sth. so that on the 18th
the bank officers, clerks, and other en-
ploy,s may enjoy the general holiday.

The Ia}or Necs OF this city complains
that "the HILL meeting was MANAGED

and though other names besides his were
cDeered at the Mozart meeting, 1t Is not
supposable that he took any exception TO
that. He no doubt understood that it was
a Democratic meeting; not HILL or
CLEVELAND meeting. though 1t was gather

however, that Mr. HILL made friends by
coming here. II his mission was political
II was not altogether unsuccessful, though
we believe that the great mass Of our

opinion that 1t 10 too early 10 attach our

However. We have not lost sight of the
fact that our electric road a. be improved

that Mr. EDISON has perfected an invention
which will. or a, least may, perfect our sys-
tenn. The Baltimore Sun OF speaks Of it q,

Tho R,phf Of Secession.

The Spira Of he valley continues its dis
cussion Of the question whether Virginia
reserved the right of secession when she
ratified the Constitution and became
member Of the Federal Union. 1t ex-
presses its surprise that we should nam
tain the affirmative OF this proposition.
That paper cannot be more surprised at
our contention than we are 10 find such n
yirginian taking the northern side OF that
question. The valley quotes 20 sustain Its
contention what We have often quoted to
sustain ours-namely, the resolution
adopted by the Virginia Convention that
ratified the Federal Constitution. We
Will quote that resolution once more. IL IS
a. follows:
ave, tho delegates Of tho people OF vir-
ginia. do. IN the name and behalf Of
the pooplo OF Virginia, declare md mike known
TINT tho powers granted under the Constitution.
being derived from the people OF tho United
States, may DO resumed by them whatsoever
tho same shall be perverted 70 ther injury or
opprc son, and that every power not granted
thereby remains with them and at their viii,
etc.
! he TflltT Will ttf AIiHt lAi' iAii t+o''A'rsF
of this resolution could not have been
made 20 SUIT the case Of Virginia alone.
The convention that ratified the Consti-
tuition could not have resolved that the
powers granted under that Constitution
had been derived from the people of Viz
ginia only. That holy therefore SAID that
they were derived. as they We're from the
people Of the United States. Each State
granted the powers, acting for itself. ard
each II tie hal to act for itself III re-
suming" those powers. Each seeding
State did 50 act IN 1860. Each such State
expressly set forth in its ordinance Of Sc
ccssion that il wa resumng powers which
i lad right to resume, and which no
Government on earth could Justly
prevent IL from exercising. This single
fact that all tho seeding States claimed
tho right TO soccdc, and that the ordl-
nances of secession setting forth this claim
ware all passed either by aunlnim)u5 vote
or by vote approXimatins unanmity
ought T. settle the question We have been
discussing with the SPIRIT Of t'e IMH.
Surely, that fat ought to cause our con-
temporary to look well to the foundations
Of its argument We might say of TINS
claim that at least n majority Of the south
ern people hal always held ii. S'"py,
u}igue. e a. omni1us. is an argument not
easy To- answer.
We DO Mt care to attemptto sustain orr
contention by quotations from the Viz
sinia fathers Of tue republic. We are firm
IN the belief that they would never have
even considered the question Of ratifyinS
the Federal Constitution If they hal sup
posed that it would confer upon tho Cow
ernment 10 be established under 1t the
power TO compel Virginia to remain IN the
Union against her VIII. At any rate. we
Will not further discuss this question Just
now. At the same time, we Will concede
that the Spirit has maintained It's SIDE OF
the question with courtesy aud ability.
