HINTS TO THK ADMINISTRATION Think as we may of his knowledge cf the "situation," it is the duty of the po litical leaders of Virginia to sustain and support the President, by keeping him "posted" as to the condition of our party and its futuro prospects in Virginia. That we, who are free from bias, on account of holding no office and seeking none, are better qualified to view the field less pre judiced, none will deny. That Virginia is as thoroughly Repub lican as Massachusetts we have no doubt ; and that she has failed to exhibit her Re publican strength, is owing to tho decep tions and frauds practiced upon her people by members of both political parties. We have no word of censure for any— for tho past and its errors—for it will do no good ; but for the present and future conduct of each patty, wo should hold oureolves responsible did we fail to keep an eye on their proceedings and give a timely warning of their probable results. If the dart strikes homo and wounds members of our own party, it must be accepted as a blow of kindness ; for we intend to spare none, nor will we do so, wheu tho interests of our party aud country are injured by their actions. We have already declaied that we are in no way the organ of any ring or clique ; our paper has been recognized to stand up on that declaration. We now avow wo are no man's friend when convinced that he stands in tho way of our party inte rests ; therefore, we are free to admit that when occasions arises—and wo doubt not but they will arise—mtn must stand from under, or unequivocally put on the party harness to work for the party, and not for themselves or friends. Events of great importance to the Republican parly are transpiring around U3 every day. Our adversaries aro sharp, cunning, selfish, aod unscrupulous—they aro willing and ready to resort to any means to defeat us in the fall, and a defeat then, amounts to a repetition in the Presidential election. Not only as a patty, aro our enemies industrious, but iudividunls of prominence and ambition aro already baiting their hooka and fishing in the waters where spools of Republicans gather. We catch the breeze from the southwest and the southsido, aud its very breath comes ladened with fair promises to our patty, that if we will dv so and so, certain things will bo done for us. Away, forever away, with any entangling alliances; let no Republican listen to tho syren song of the deceiver. The "Walker Movement should convince us by this time, that any compromise with Democrats results only in gain to them and loss to us. Let us then awako to the necessities of the hour ; let us as individuals perform our duty then, as a party march to tbe fight; then we shall be prepared to demand of the administration that it perform its pait. Wo need not go out of Richmond to see the party divided in sentiment and action; but, if it was necessary, we could prove it the case generally throughout tho State. These facts, some will say, should not be told our enemies. We dispute it, and be lieve it necessary that they should be men tioned, and an effort made to remove tho disturbing causes. We do not care who knows them, provided good can result from their exposure. There ara men in office, iv all sections of the State, who are worthless to us as party men—who, by their willingness to make love to the Democrats, are in the way of our success. Why, wo ask, should the paity bo'sacrifictd for them ? Are in dividuals of more importance than the success of the party 1 There aro still oth ers, who, by continual croaking and dis satisfaction because they can't lead aud di rect things their own way, destroy tbeir own usefulness and iujuro us. There are those who would sacrifice influential aud hard-workers of the party to gratify some friend who is, perhaps, a stranger, and un heard of before to the people. This class of men must go dowu, must give way, for the general good, aDd tho President must see to it that they be disposed of. You can never correct the wrong other wise, for to attempt to retain in office aud correct the conduct of a person who has the disposition to do wrong, is au absurd ity. If the shoe pinches it must be worn ; we have not made it for any particular in dividual ; wo are lighting alone upon gen eral principles, and they are, that the of fices of the country which command the means and influence tn control elections, must be taken from the drones and put into the hands of efficient workers, and un til the party can unite as ono man upon this question, it is useless to attempt a fight with an enemy whose watchword is "union" iv all except that of our govern ment. We shall continue to write what we know aud believe upon Iho subject, hoping what we say may reach the eye and attract the attention of those in authority, who feel, like ourselves, tho impottance of im proving our political condition in Virginia- The Lynchburg (Va.) Republican says: "Lynchbmg boasts of a sun dial which was made iv London iv ihe year 1428, and which, consequently, is now 443 years old, and which, when Columbus crossed the ocean blue and planted his staudard ou American soil, enjoyed the ripe old ago of sixty-four years. The ago of this venerable noter of the sun's course appears to be un questioned, and is doubtless thu oldest Hpecimeu of man's handiwork which this country can furnish." Ays till tin II In, "il I ' . I : DESTRUCTION OK THE TOWN OF BATHANG, IN CHINA— NEARLY THREE THOUSAND f PEOPLE KILLED. " Minister Low furnishes (he State De partment at Washington with a brief ac -1 count of a series of earthquakes which pre f vailed for several days at Bathang, iv the (. province of Sczhuen, China. About tho f Ist of April there was a sudden and unac countable rise of waters in the district of 3 liatbang, which continued until the lift, - when tho country for nearly four hundred miles around was convulsed by earth quakes. The shocks were very severe, and continued, with intermissions, for ten ' days, wheu they became less frequent, • and finally ceased. The scenes which - ensued were horrible beyond description. , . During this time the earth rocked and reeled like a ship at sea in it violent storm. Eight temples were thrown down, 2,421 dwellings were destroyed and 2,293 per sons crushed by the falling walls. To add ■ to these accumulated horrors flames broke out among the ruios in Bathang in four places, and raged with uncontrollable fury ' during five days, consuming everything within thoir reach, and destroying the lives j of hundreds who were lying wounded and . helpless among the ruins of their homes. . The grain collector at Bathang says that for several days before the earthquake the water 1 had overflowed the dyke, but after it the f earth cracked in many places, and black, 1 fetid water spurted out in a furious man ner. If one poked it tho spurting instantly followed, just as is the case with the salt ! wells (in the eastern part of the province j) and this explains how it happened that lire followed the earthquake. Steep hills sunk out of sight, and in their places naught is seen but yawning gulfs, while in other places the earih uphe ived leaving hills many feet in height. Macy singular i phenomena attended this earthquake, the ; full particulars of which will be anxiously watched for. mSmsmm, Statistics of the War.—The German losses turn out, on a revision of the official lists, to have been smaller than was first 1 believed. The total loss in killed, wounded and missing, amounts to 47.6G2, viz: 2,107 officers and 15,224 men killed, 1,838 officers and 27,417 men wounded, and 18 officers and 2,000 men missing. Thegainr, of the war, on the other hand, in trophies and prisoners, are unusually large, indeed, so considerable ns to be uniquo in history. The Breslauer Zeitung, with patriotic pride, enumerates the long list, which it compares with our paltry acquisitions in the Crimea, aud those of the French in Italy. By this account, the last three Prussian campaigns have been wonderfully prolific of such memorials of victory, and present a strange contrast to former wars. Thus, at the Alma we took two colors and two guns, at Inkerman wo lost three guns, and at the storming of the Malakoff we captured one standard and thirty-one guns. The number of prisoners in the campaign did not exceed 6,000. Tho en tire spoils nf the French iv 1859 consisted of three colors, twenty-six guns and 10,000 prisoners. Tho Prussians, on the other hand, took at Duppel nineteen colors, 119 guns and 3,400 prisoners ; at Alsen, thir teen colors, ninety-nine gutis and 2,494 prisoners ; at KootggratZ, seven colors, 101 guns and 19,800 prisoners ; altogether in 1860, thirteen colors, 20S guns and 49, --000 prisoners. The figures of the late war are more formidable still. At Spichren, Pange, Groyelotte, Yionville, I.Tlallu and Bapaume, indeed hardly any trophies were taken. But at Wissembourg 2 colors, 1 gun and 800 prisoners were captured; at Worth, 2 eagles, 34 guns, 6 mitrailleurs and 4,000 prisoners ; at Beaumont, 8 eagles and colors, over 50 guns and 20,000 pri soners ; at Sedau, 400 guns and mitrail leurs aud 80,000 prisoners, with all their colors ; at Metz, 56 eagles, 600 guns and mitrailleurs and 170,000 prisoners. Alto gether, exclusive of the capitulation of Paris, the late war has yielded over 120 eagles and colors, 0,400 guns and 374,995. prisoners, to which ought to be added 84, --000 interned in Switzerland and 0,000 in terned at Belgium. Movement of Operations Southward. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Record, writing under date of June Ist, says: "There is considerable emigration of mechanics and others to North Carolina from tbis city, through means of specula tive land companies, who havo bought cheap tracts nnd divided them up into smafi farms and village lots. Tho settlers who passed last summer and winter there all write favorably, and have given a good im pulse to oilier adventurers. There is,with out doubt, a splendid field for settlement and prosperity in the South, and the plan adopted of settling in colonies, where ihe advantages of schools, churches and society cau be at once roalized, abolishes all objec tions hitherto offered against emigration lo those regions." c ♦ ♦ —' — A Girl Gets Mad and Hangs Her self. —Miss Lucy Severson, a young wo man about twenty-two years of age, com mitted suicide yesterday by hanging her self in a piece of woods u?ar the residence of her parents, on the State road iv the town of Kirkwood, uot far from the old Stanley tavern stand. The young woman was missed by her parents during the fore part of the afternoon, and toward even ing search was made for her, and her body was found suspended by a rope to the limb of a tree. It is supposed that her destruction was the result of a bad temper, and in a fit of anger she did the rash act by climbing into a tree, fastening the rope around her neck and a limb, and then jumping off.— Binghamlon (N. V.) Republican, June 1. .4, . "We," nays the Austin (Texas) State Ga zelle, "have beeu shown a private letter from T. A. Sampson, of Pino Bluff, Ar kansas, in which he relates a very extra ordinary circumstance of a negro preacher, who was stricken dead by lightning, while addtessing the congregation. And, what is very remarkable, on the succeeding day, when his remains were carried to the grave, aud while in tbe act of burying him, another bolt of heaven struck his coffin, leaving bis remains a ghastly sight." This is very curious—if true. ——-*■ —■ Gen. Sherman will return to Washing tou on the 15th iDSt. THE LATEST NEWS ; BY TELEGRAPH.

It will be recollected thstt tbe Howen was fallen in at sea, flying a distress Bignal, by the ship Kuropa, and a mate of the latter vessel was placed io charge of the Bowen to bring her into port. The following is the report of Captain Sleeper, who succeeded to the command when Captain Amsbury died : "While stowing the auchors ou the 2d instant, at 4 P. M., ono of the crew diso beyed orders, and on being spoken to by the first mato, he and Captain Amsbury (who went forward at that time.) were set upon by the crew—six in number—all negroes, and Captain Amsbury was struck on the head with ■ capstan bar and fatally Injured. The first mate had a shoulder dislocated, and also received two severe wounds on the head with a capstan bar, from the effects of which he was disabled three days. The second mate and steward were also severely Injured. The captain was taken aft, but all efforts to save him were unavailing, and he died the same day." The mutineers were taken ashore last night and locked up. The Labor Strike In Washington. ACTION OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WOBXI DENOUNCED.

That Monkey.—Perhaps it is, aud per haps it ain't, because we look like a monkey, that we havo taken such a fancy to that ono of Scammell's, bnt we can't help from calling to see him occasionally aB we pass. We have already told you how he can drink a julep equal to a human being, and how drunk ho can get; but we believe we havo not yet told how he can light a match. This morning we were entertained by him fur some time, having nothing else to do, and returned to our sanc tum feeling soro from hearty laughing. Give him a match, and he will attempt to light it with his paw; failing in this, he brings bis teeth into requisition and be soon has-. burning match in his hand-like paw. The amusing part of it is to see how expert he is in keeping it from burning him. In biting the end, he uses the jaw and not the front teeth, as would be expected, therefore he must hurry up or lose hie whiskers. We saw him light half a dozen matches without once singing a bair. Altogether he is a highly in telligent tnonkey, besides being an uncom promising Democrat. Thia ia strange when we consider his color ! Thomas 11. Bird.—A stupid man aud si fool may make a success at a number of trades and professions ; but to select one as either a gambler or a newspaper maker will never do. Such will never feel at home in either place, for they require men of good judgment, of nerve, wide awake, a correct idea of human ' nature, and above all, must hare sense enough to keep out of "fool scrapes." [We speak from experience of the latter; the former speaks for itself, aud if you don't beliova us try ' if.] ' This being the case, since wo have heard ' that Mr. Thos. B.

Democratic Malionity.—Within the past week an effort was made to have indicted by the Henrico court grand jury a Republican ollioe-holder of that county, charging him with malfeasance in ollice, but which failed, as it should have done, there being Demoorats of euilicient sense of justice to tn'Jfy the trutb. This effort can De traced home to a Demo crat, who holds oflice under a Republican principal, and the motive .is clear that be would like to have had him removed so as to secure the place for himself. Without blaming him for holding ollice, if he can get it, under a Republican, we have yet to see a Democrat kind enough to give one of ns a situation, and we do not hesitate to say that Mr, Democrat ought to have a new Re publican broom at his beels, and be swept out so far, that the winds uf Republicanism would never blow over him again. That it is thus, we know; but that il should thus remain longer, wo cannot imagine.
