Gentlemen: I have the honor to acknowletlge at the hands of kit* Excellency Governor Cald well the receipt of your letter asking me to post pone the trial of|the cjuses now pending in Lhe t 'ireuit Court under Lhe eufbreementjact. I have given your letter the long and carelul considera tion to which your eminent poeitiOD in North i Carolina and the importance of the subject to wliich it relates entitle it; but I am unable to comply with your request. These e;i*»e. arc tery numerous, and if not tried now, will al our next term so encumber the docket as to 0-Mtmcl . all civil business. Tiie city is full of Wit nesses summoned from long distances who have remained here several weeks at large cost, and it would be a great hardship to make them return here again, and it would l>c unjust for me to send them home unless I knew they oould return with the same feeling of per *uaal security that I myself should have on my own return home. This I do not know, IM though you give me assurances that before the uext term of tbe Circuit Court "the Invisible Empire" shall be effectually suppressed, it is not suppressed now, and I feel that the enforcement of the law should continue. 1 have come to this conclusion with less reluctance because I am sure gentlemen who are so sincere iv their desire tn relieve North Carolina of this disgraceful and .infamous association will not remit their labou too suppress it, as they assure me they have the power to do, because the court sits a week or two longer to assist them in their undertaking. lam glad to hear irom you that the recent trials have manifested that this secret unlawful organization exists iv some parts of North Caro lina. It cannot but aid you in your effort to sup press it, to point out by these trials to you who are the guilty persons who compose it. I hope, gentlemen, that you will agree with me that it is best to do so. With great reepeet I beg to remain yours, very respectfully, High L. Bond. Judge 0. S.

Mayor's office, \ Richmond, October 10,1871. i A calamity, unexampled in our history n its magnitude and effects, has overtaken he people of the city of Chicago. Scores of thousands of men, women and children are homeless and starving—the victims of a visitation so sudden and overwhelming and extensive, that it has swept from ex stenco every local means of aid at the same - moment that it has multiplied by the thou sand fold the need of that aid. In the presence _f this disaster I invito ny fellow-citizens of Richmond to assem ble and take such steps as to them may seem appropriate for extending assistance to the unhappy sufferers, and to that end I lave taken the liberty of calling a public neeting, to convene at the City Hall, Thursday evening, at 8 o'clock.

Greene, of Petersburg, has re ceived the nomination of the Republican party for election to the State Senate from the Petersburg district. Mr. Greene was a member of the last Senate, whose ability and fearless defence of Republican princi ples made him the recognized leader of the party in that body. It is useless for us to say anything fau'i able to Mr. Greene, as his nomination ren ders his election a cci tamty. We shall be only too well satisfied if the party throughout Virginia will make as judicious selections as it has done in Petersburg. Fedl from a Scaffold, —Monday evening, as Mr. R. Duke and several colored workmen were engaged in repairing the premises on the northest corner of Clay and Second streets, the scaffold gave way, precipitating the whole party to the ground. The colored men escaped unhurt, but Mr. Duke i«ceived a severe sprain of the ankle.

Movement in Behalf of the At- TUCK's GUARD. —The ladies who compose the committee having in charge the raising of funds for the purchase of a flag for the colored military organization of this city, the "Attuck Guards," have invited Mr. George M. Arnold, of North Carolina, to deliver a lecture in this city for the benefit of their enterprise. He has consented, and __s chosen tor his subject, "The colored man as a soldier in the war for the I'nii'ii." R.AOKCIUARDI.SM.— Several days MO, ! y passing along Hank street, near llllli, ' was accosted by some blackguard and grossly insulted. She did not hesitate to wliale liim across the (ace with the paia-ul she had in her liand, which, instead of caus ing him fo leave lier, only irritated the blackguard flu- more. The lady WM liirccd to enter the ollice of some gentlemen and seek protection. In this connection, we limy slate that a mem ber of the police force, recently inforiiKil us that a number of complaints hud lately been made by Ladies, whose defenceless condilion render them an easy prey to the insults of cowards and \ngabonds. If this class of brutes have determined to make this city their homes, we feel conlident there is sufficient gallantry among the gen tlemen of the city to make it too hot for such chaps. The first dog caught in such an ml, should be caught and well COW-hided for his insolence. We regret our inability to give the name of the man who thus dis graced his sex by cowardly assaulting and insulting one of the weaker sex. New York has recently furnished several in stances iv which the protectors of Women have been murdered by some of this same class, but when a tragedy of this kind oc curs here, (as it will do unless men learn some sense) we trust the insulter and not the protector of the women will bo the victim. _ Tickets fob Sale to the Mam moth Caravan Menagerie and Ci rcus Oomino to Richmond fob thrki: Days, the 11th, 12th and 18th.— Old John Robinson would respectfully say to his many friends and patrons in the city of Hichmond and vicinity, who are desirous of witnessing his mammoth three-tent show, witlijtheir families, and do not wish to bo delayed by the annoyance of crowd ing through the masses which always be siege the ticket wagon, that he has placed tickets for sale at tne following places, viz " West _ Johnston's, booksellers and sta tioners, No. ICOB Main street; Rodekor & Dade, druggists, No. 1444 Main street; I',.

The price of admission will be 75 cents for adults, and 50 cents for children under ten years of a^e. The "I.iiieral Citizen."—This is the title of a weekly paper recently started vi Alexandria. When it first made its appearance upon our fable we were a little doubtful of its real intent. Recently WO have been deeply interested in much of its original matter; consequently we have closely scrutinized its it i.s a sure enough, sincere and zealous advocite of Republican principles—devoted to the interest and future prosperity of Vir- We have taken quite a fancy to our young but accomplished conlemporary, and trust it will go on with the good work it has so bravely commenced. We cheeifully re commend it to our Republican friends, and are by no means backward in advising our political enemies to read it, as they will find a number of "eye-opening" articles in it, calculated to apprise them ef substantial I facts of which the party has remained in ignorance for so many years. Sleepy and Disappointed Friend. We can but feel great sympathy for friend I'i/./.ini, of the Associated Press, who, last night, was kept up past mid-night with the promise that he would probably hear Penn sylvania had gone Democratic. After waiting several hours, matters looked so discouraging for Democracy that he retired in disgust. Ho looks rather the worse for wear this morning, but may take consolation from the fact that a large number of his oh friends and associates are rather bluer tha even himself. Pennsylvania and Ohio both wheeling into' Republican ranks, has somewhat coolci the ardor of our whilom Democratic friem in this city, who unwillingly see their gre; pyramid.

O_D John Roihnson's Card— Tl I'tiie of Admission Iletlneed. —Old Job Robinson would respectfully announce I the people of the State of Virginia, that in consequence of the partial failure of tl crops in some localities, and the genera depression in money matters, that in vie\ of the immense patronage he has ahead received, and hoping for a continuance i the same, he has concluded to reduce tl price of admission to his great Three Ten Show, Museum, Caravan, Menagerie am Circus, i. c., 75 cents for adults, and " cents for children under ten years of age, instead of §1.75 cents, which was charged through the State of Tennessee, on account of the exhorbilant high rates of licenses imposed upon the exhibition. Remember ] the prices are : Adults, 75 cents ; chil dren under ten years of age, 50 cents. _ _«•- . Madam Rumor has it that the citizens | of Clay Ward will unite in a petition re questing General Joseph R. Anderson and Mr. George S.
