—Mr. Ashton Dodd, had his foot badly
crushed in a threshing machine in lxiudoun
county a few days ago.
—Alexander Scott, a colored man, sixty
years of age, was crushed to death by a
mass of stone at Wood's stono quarry,
near Lynchburg, on Friday.
—The Lynchburg Republican says:
" Ex-Ciovernor William Smith lias resigned
as one of the advisory members of the
State Executive Committee ; and declines
to act in reference to the time or place of
holding the Congressional Convention."
—The Republicans of Greensville county
held a rousing ratification meeting at Hicks
lord on the 27th. Tho meeting was ad
dressed by W. N. Stevens and Col. Jen
kins. A resolution was adopted express
ing hearty approval of the nomination of
Grant and Wilson and W. 11. 11. Stowell.
—Tho Alexandria Gazette of Saturday
evening says : " Tho double daily mail
service from the postoffice in this city to
the South, was resumed last night, the sec
ond mail closing at 8:50 P. M., and leaving
on the through train on the Alexandria
and Fredericksburg railroad."
—The Warrenton fnilex has the follow
ing : " An affray occurred at Hectortown
on last Tuesday between Frederick Glass
cock, and Decatur and Frank Vanhorn, in
which Glasscock shot Frank Vanhorn just
above the hip, wounding him so severely as
to cause his death last Wednesday even
ing."
—The Warrenton Index says : " We are
informed that Reuben Smith shot Lemuel
Fincham in the stomach last Tuesday.
The shooting occurred on tho farm of
Charles Green, near Washington, the coun
ty seat of Rappahonnock county. The
wound is supposed to be mortal. Cause,
whiskey and cards."
—The Mecklenburg Sentinel thus calls at
tention to impositions practiced upon tho
farming community : "11 we have been cor
rectly informed us to faets,one ofthe greatest
impositions of the age is now being practiced
by tho Ibianoke Navigation Company upon
the people shipping produce on the river.
This copontion, chartered by the Legisla
ture many years ago for the purpose
of consli tictiwr and keeping iv repair neces
sary dams on the river, and removing ob
structions, was given the privilege of charg
ing Will on al! freight passing over it ; and
this privilege they still claim and exercise,
although it has been many years since they
have expended one dollar or paid the least
attention to the condition of the river, and
while it is in a very dangerous condition,
they exact fifty cents toll on every hogs
head of tobacco passing up or down. This
company ought certainly to pay heavy divi
dends. It is the only one wo know of
which has nil receipts and no expenditures.
Why don't the oflicers of the Mecklenburg
Hoat line look after them " Can't they be
enjoined from charging toll or forced to ex
pend their receipts in the improvement of
the river."

Troubles Anion:: the Maryland Oreeleyite*.
The straight-out Democratic State Com
mittee of .Maryland met in Baltimore
Wednesday, and decided to call a State
Convention to nominate electors in the same
city on the 11th of September. About a
dozen hungry Liberal Republicans, headed
by ex-Governor liradford, met at the same
time in with a view to dividing
the spoils with the straight-outs. The un
adulterated Democrats, however, feeling
strong in that Slate without the assistance
of these few disappointed office-seekers,
paid not tho slightest attention to them,
and, disappointed and chagrined, they
adjourned.

The Xew York Times says: We are
continually receiving inquiries regarding
the authenticity of the following atrocious
sentiment. We have but oue unswer for
all, Horace Grecly is the author, and lie
printed the article from which it is an ex
tract in the New York Tribune of May 1,
1801:
"When the rebellious traitois arc over
whelmed in the field, and scattered like
leaves before an angry wind, it must not
be to return to peaceful and contented
homes. They mud find poverty al their
jircsides, and see privatum iv the anxious
eyes of mothers antl the vans of children."
Another Peniocruiic Pnpcr Dies.
The Fulton (111.) Democrat has been a
firm and constant advocate of Demociatic
principles. The nomination of Greeley and
lirown by the Democratic party has killed
it. The editor said iv his last issue that
he could not consistently support those
nominations, and, therefore, withdrew from
the field. Policy at this time, he said,
could not gain the ascendancy over princi
ple in his mind, aud rather than, like many
of his old political associates, dishonestly
advocate the election of his life-long antago
nists, he stopped the issue of hw paper.
Are we A Fkkk People?—So we
flatter ourselves, and boast of our liberty,
but no community ever submitted to a
greater despot than do we. Our sovereign
— invisible though she may be—rules us
with an iron rod; and grumble though we
may, as she leads we follow. No matter
how independent we may be, we must com
ply in a certain degree with her dictates ;
lor there is a kind of innate modesty that
rebels against our attracting the gaze of
eveiy pashor-by, in being totally dillercnt
from everybody else; for instance, if the
" style " is " bouftant," it is utterly im
possible to go absolutely and unequivocally
" flat." We can modify, and modify only.
Much has been written, both well and
wisely, upon the pernicious habit of wear
ing shoes too short, but until Dame Fash
ion steps into a shoe of the requisite length,
ail is written in vain. Fools and philoso
phers, wise mon and maidens, adults and
children, must wear the shoe bhe tits upou
her " fantastic toe." Artisans and mer
chants obey her nod; and although a favor
ed few can have shoes to order, the mass of
the people are compelled to wear what is in
the market; so, until she magnanimously
inaugurates something combining both taste
and comfort, suffering humanity must fol
low in her train, the victims of the high
heeled-toe-tortures now in vogue.— Science

Physiology in Schools.—Tho new
school-law of the State of Illinois now re
quires that Physiology and The Laws of
Life to be taught in the common schools.
This shows progicss. When will this re
quirement be made in all the States ? The
teachers of this and other States in which
this is now required, will find the Science.
of Health to bo the best educational month
ly they can read, Tor it will furnish thorn
information which they do not find in

LOCAL MATTERS.
Struck With an Ax.—A colored
woman named Fanny Lewis, was struck
iv the head with an ax this morning by
Dr. Benjamin V. Cosby, on whoso premises
on Seventh street, near City Spring Park,
she resides. The report spread all over
town that the woman was killed. There
port is premature. She is pretty badly ',
hurt, but the doctor says she will recover,
and be able to appear in court on Saturday
next. Dr. Cosby and the woman seem to ,
have become engaged in a general fight
about a difficulty between two negro chil
dren, one belonging to Fanny and the other ,
in the employ of the doctor. The testimony
so far as it was elicited upon a question of '
bail, was conflicting, and we do not, propose i
to weigh it. Dr. Cosby received two or .
three slight wounds from a knife, which
it is alleged Fanny Lewis hail in her hand *
during tho fight, and was knocked down ;
with a brick-bat thrown by her. In the >
struggle about the yard he got hold of a
small ax, with a short handle, and struck *
her on the head. The woman was knocked l
down and bled profusely, aud was thought '
to be dead. She finally recovered consci
ousness, and on examination was found to
be not dangerously injured. The case was '
continued until Saturday next for further J
examination, when it is thought the injur
ed party will be able to give in her testi
mony. Dr. Cosby was allowed bail in the
sum of $300 for his appearance in court on
that day. ,
Louisa County Convention.—The j
Republicans ol Louisa county met in con- '
vention at Louisa Court-House on the 27th '
instant, Mr. S. P. Perkins was elected
chairman of the convention, and Mr. C. P.
Chisham chosen secretary. On motion, a (
committee of three was appointed on ere- 1
dentials, who, after examining the stone, 1
reported all the towns in the county fully I
represented. Delegates were elected to i
the Congressional Convention to be held in i
Richmond on the 7th of August next, who t
were instructed to vote for the Hon. John 1
Ambler Smith, of Richmond, as the Repnb- c
liean candidate for Congress from the Third
district. c
After tho convent on adjourned, a grand I
mass meeting was held at the court-house, f
and the people addressed by William I). 1
Jackson, Esq., of Manchester, who spoke
enthusiastically in behalf of the National
Republican ticket, and of their proposed
nominee for Congress from this district. ,
The meeting passed resolutions strongly _
endorsing Grant and Wilson. ,
Heavy Robbery of Money and ,
JEWELRY.—On Saturday afternoon Ser- •
geant Hall and Policeman Charter arrested
a young colored man on the charge of rob- '
bing Mr. Theodore Flick, a butcher, who j
resides on Brook avenue, beyond Bacon's
Quarter Branch, of $ISS and a check for
$100. Albert, Edward and Letitia Hill and [
Flora Jackson and Salina Massey were also ',
arrested by the same officers on the charge
of receiving portions of the stolen property
with the full knowledge that it was stolen.
On an investigation of the case this morn
ing, it appeared that Smith, who had been "
in the employ of Frick, was instigated to t
the robbery by Albert Hill. Smith seems ]
to have turned over to Hill all the money
which he stole, and the jewely, consisting
of breastpins, sleeve buttons, Ac, was
distributed by Smith to the parties named 1
above. Both Smith and Albert Hill were j
sent on to tho grand jury for indictment. $
It did not appear that the parties who had t
received portions of the money and jewelry s
had any knowledge that they were stolen, j
and they were therefore discharged.

From North Carolina.—A private
letter from North Carolina to this paper 8
from a gentleman whose position gives him (
unusual facilities for gaining reliable inform- ,
ation as to the political situation, contains
this encouraging paragraph :
"Our prospects are exceedingly flatter
ing. If lam not badly mistaken—and I
have information from every townshij) in the
State—our ticket will be elected by 9,000. j
The legislature will be Republican—the ,
Senate by (I, the house by 12 majority.
We shall elect five of the eight Congress
men. I may bo mistaken, but the signs of ,
the times are all in our favor." ,
Hon. James Lyons' Letter—The
demand for the letter of Ibis distinguished
Virginian, published in the Statu Jour
nal of Friday last, was so great as to
speedily exhaust the large extra edition
which we thought it advisable to issue on
the occasion. No document printed dur
ing the present campaign has excited so
much interest, or desire for its perusal, and
we take pleasure in informing those who
have not yet been able to obtain a copy
that it will appear in both our semi-weekly
and weekly editions of to-morrow, of which
any number can be had at our counter, or
at 0. F. Johnston's music and book depot.
About Flags.—A paragraph is going
the rounds of our exchanges, copied from a
Richmond letter, which states that " the
confederate banner is waved in front of the
' (ireeley column here with great audacity."
The author of the statement shows great
audacity in thus misrepresenting our people.

The Geneva Arbitration,
Geneva, July 27.—The recent interrup

tion occurred through the necessary re-ex
amination of the English law on questions
regarding the construction of privateering

used sufficient diligence in preventing these
vessels from going to sea.
Of four cases advanced, England repudi
ates three, itml in the fourth she concludes
thai, the Admiralty acted promptly, al
though the police hesitated to take the prop
er steps to prevent her departure.
The court is also considering the question
of allowing interest on the amount awarded.
Itjis stated that the majority of the hoard are
unfavorable to such allowance. It is re
garded as probable that after careful inves
tigation ol each case, the tribunal will lix
the amount of indemnity to be paid by
England at a gross sum.
