The Stato Convention.
Democratic State convention
will meet in Richmond on the
19th inst., and which we hope will be
composed of the ablest and wisest men
of the party in the State, should nol
elect delegates pledged to tha support ol
any particular man for the presidency,
but should elect able, prudent, and wise
delegates who will be disposed tc
nominate the best and most available
candidate, upon a full, fair, and impar
tial consideration after flank and free
consultation with the delegates from
other States, particularly with the dele
gates from the doubtful States in the
North and West. The delegates from
this State should be free to choose as
their best judgments would dictate aftei
getting all the information within theii
reach after meeting with the delegates
from other States, and consulting freely
and frankly with them, in an honest
comparison of views. They should
nominate that candidate who, with the
requisite character and qualifications,
possesses the greatest popular strength.
Delegates should be willing to surrender
their personal preferences, and to sup
port that candidate who, to the requi
site qualifications for the office, unites
' the greatest availability. If the dele
gates from all the Slates should thus
act, the best nomination will be made,
and in November victory will perch
upon the Democratic standard.
Let Virginia, whose voice is still po
tential, arise in the National convention
and proclaim in the spirit of true pa
triotism that sbe has no personal pref
erence in a crisis like this, but that her
choice is the best and most available
Drowned.—On Sunday of last week,
a negro boy named Rust Logan was
drowned in North River, a mile from
Lexington, while bathing. The Lex
ington Gazette says that "a comrade
who attempted to rescue him came very
near being drowned in the effort; he
had to leave the boy to his fate in order
to save his own life.
Some Cadets who were boating on the
river recovered the body. The an
nouncement of the drowning was made
at the Baptist Church (colored,) the con
gregation of which was in session at the
time, and nearly the entire body went
to the scene of the disaster."

Dr. Hoge Robbed at Jerusalem.—
Rev. Dr. Deems, in a letter to a friend
in New York, dated at Jerusalem, April
4, says the Rev. Dr. Hoge, of Richmond,
Va , who is there, was robbed of a large
sum of money and his watch the first
night he was in tent. It has led to the
arrest of a Turkish soldier. From
Jerusalem Dr. Deems goes to the Dead
Sea, and thence up through the north
of Palestine to Damascus. The first
Sunday in July he hopes to be back to
New York.

A Woman Drowns her Children.
—At Perm Van, N. V., yesterday, Mrs.
George Woodruff, during the absence of
her husband, took her two sleeping chil
dren from bed, one aged six the other
one year, and drowned them in the cis
tern. She was found afterwards by her
husband standing in the cistern with
the dead baby in her arms. She had
left a note indicating her purpose to
drown the children and commit suicide
rather than endure longer the agony of
poverty aud debt.

Death of Col. Thos. B. Bigc-ek.—
Col. Thomas B. Bigger, who served in
the war of 1812, under Gen. Harrison,
was postmaster of Richmond, Va., for
more than twenty years, and filled
various positions iv the Virginia State
government, died, in llicbinond Wed
nesday, aged 87 years. Col. Bigger was

ginia.
J. Ran. Tucker for Field.—The
Washington correspondent of the State
says:—Mt. Tucker, being questioned
recently, said : "I am for the best and
strongest tuau the Democratic party
can nominate." "And who is that?"
was asked.
"Well in looking over the field I can't
overlook Field," said Mr. Tucker.as he
adjusted his spectacles.
The Lynciiburc; Advance.—The
Advance U tbe title of a daily eveniug
paper just established in Lynchburg,
and edited by Mr. Thos. Whitehead,
who was recently the editor-in-chief of
the Lynchburg Newt. The local de
partment is edited by Mr. John White
head. It is an able and spirited paper
and deserves to succeed.
Fatal Shooting in W. Va.—On
Saturday week, at the mouth of Big
Sandy, in a difficulty between Will Co
pen and Lew Matheny, the latter was
shot in the abdomen and died the next

■ OF DISTINGUISHED MEN.
On Monday of last week, a very large
Democratic meeting was held at Win
chester, which was addressed by Sena
tors Voorhees of Indiana, Thurman oi
Ohio, and Gordon of Georgia, abstracts
of whose speeches, as reported for the
Baltimore Sun, are published in this is
sue, to which we invite the attention ol
our readers. If .there ever was a time
when all who are opposed to the dan
gerous centralizing doctrines of the Re
publican party should act in unison to -
gether, irrespective of differences of State
policy and other minor differences, now
is that time. We cannot believe that
many Democrats will prove recreant in
this crisis of their country, but believe
that all, with very few exceptions, will
vote for the nominees of the Cincinnati
Convention. If Grant be the Bepubli
can nominee, he can be defeated, if the
Democrats be united, for it is evident
that he is not the choice of the Repub
lican States. His strength in the Con
vention will come from Democratic
States that will not give him electoral
votes at the election. These Democratic
States may secure his nomination, but
they cannot aid in electing him. If they
force his nomination, he will be defeat
ed, if the Democrats act wisely iv Con
vention at Cincinnati. Tbe corruptions
of his administrations, and the objec
tions to electing any man for a third j
term, and the dread of his ambition and
proclivity to imperialism, make him ob
jectionable to a large element of his own
party, and will cause him to be defeated
if his nomination be effected through
the votes of Democratic States that can
not aid in electing him; We hope that 1
Grant will be the Republican nominee.
At the election next fall, every friend of
free government, it matters not what his
opinion, may be about the State debt
and other questions of mere State poli
cy, should rally with enthusiasm to the
zealous support of the nominees of the
Cincinnati Convention. If the election
of the nominees of that convention
should be defeated by a foolish and
criminal division in the ranks of the
Democratic party of this State, it would
be a shame and humitiation that would
affect every man in the State. Let all
debt-payers and readjusters touch el
bows and march in unison together to
a triumphant victory in which all can
rejoice that Republican institutions have
been preserved, and the liberties of the
people secured. "United, we stand;
divided, we fall." Let us stand togeth
er as a band of brothers.
Quite a Narrow Escape.—We
learn from the Greenbrier (W. Va.,)
Independent that on Monday the 19th
ult., while Mr. Madison McClung, of
the Meadows, in that county, was in his
field harrowing, there came up a very
heavy storm of wind. As soon as Mr.
M. saw the storm approaching, he hur
ried to get out of the field, as there were
a great many dead trees in it. Just as
he and his son were passing by a very
large tree, the top blew off, falling on
one of his horses, (the off one,) killing
it! The boy was on the other horse
and the father a few steps in the rear.
Both escaped unhurt—barely with their
lives!

Churches in Culpe
per and Charlottesville. —A Rich
mond ardhitect left that city last week
for Charlottesville and the town of Cul
peper, in both of which places he will
lay off the foundations of the Catholic
churches which will be built under the
direction of Bishop Keane, of this
Diocese. They are the first churches of
the sort ever undertaken in either local
ity. It is contemplated to have both of
brick, and sufficiently commodious to
supply present and prospective demand
for space.

A Three legged Calk.—The Green
brier Independent says that Mr. Uriah
Hevener, of Pocahontas county, W. Va.,
is the owner of a calf which has only
three legs—two behind and one in front.
In all other respects his calfship is per
fectly formed. There is no sign of a leg
where that appendage ought to be, but
in the shoulder there is a natural
joint.
Dr. William H. Ruffner, Superiuten
dent of Public Instruction, visited the
University last week to complete the
arrangements for the Normal school,
which begins its sessions on the sth of
July. Dr. Ruffiier informed the Char
lottesville Chronicle that more than
three hundred and fifty teachers are en
rolled ou the list of those who propose
to be present on the occasion.
A Small Calf.—A correspondent
informs the Shenandoah Valley that a
fine, large cow. theptoperty of Mr. Ahab
Dove, near Dovesville, Rockingham

10 inches high, 20 inches long, and
weighed -0 lbs. It is a healthy calf.
Three Mek Drowned.—On Sunday
of last week, Geo. Moore, Geo. W. Cole
man, and Robert Percival, thr.e citi
zens of Lynchburg, were drowned in
the river near that city. It is supposed
the boat capsized.
— STAUNTON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER.—
The Valley Railroad.—lt now
looks as if the Valley R. R. will be com
pleted to Salem. At the meeting of the
stockholders held here Thursday night
last a resolution was unanimously adopt
ed authorizing the directors to issue the
bonds ofthe company from time to time,
as may be necessary, to an amount not
exceeding $3,000,000, the proceeds to be
applied to the construction and comple
tion of the road between Staunton and
Salem.
The Baltimore Sun says that "this
decisive action of the company termin
ates the long anxiety of the friends of
the road, caused primarily by the sus
pension of work beyond Staunton in
consequence of the financial depression
several years ago. and subsequently by
hostile Virginia legislation, now happi
ly repealed. The section of tbe road be
tween Lexington and Staunton, a die
tance of 36 miles, will first be built,
and then the road will be pushed to its
completion further South."

Lutheran General Synod So_t_.
The twelfth Convention of theEvan
gelican General Synod South met last
Thursday night at the English Luthe
ran church, in Richmond, Rev. W. C.
gchaeffer, pastor. The services opened
with the beantjful liturgy ofthe Luthe
ran Church, read by Rev. Dr. Rude, of
Columbia, S. C.
The preparatory address was deliver
ed by Rev. W. M. Baum, D. D., of
Philadelphia. The Confession was read
by Rev. Dr. Rude, after which the
communion address was made by Rev.
D. Conrad, of Philadelphia. Commu
nion was then partaken of.
The Synod was then organized and
proceed to consider routine work.
The officers of tb- Synod are Rev. J.
Hawkins, president; Rsv. H- S. Win
gard, secretary; and R. G. Chilsom,
treasurer.
The President's report for the past
year was received and referred without
reading, Rev. D. Gilbert, of Winchester,
Va., the retiring president, being
unavoidably absent.
Rev. J. I. Millerlwas appointed chair
man of the standing committee on
minutes of last Synod. .
The following were elected as a Board
of Directors for the Semi
nary located at Salem, Va.; From
South Carolina Synod—A. R. Rude, B.
D.; Rev. J. F. Probst, Rev. J. Hawkins,
Captain G. S. Hacker, and R. G. Chil
som, Esq. From Virginia Synod:
Rev J. A- Snyder, Rev. Piofessor J. I.
Miller, Rev. R. C. Holland, C. S.
Baker, Esq., and W. £. Esq.,
From Southwest Virginia Synod; Rev.
L. G. M. Miller, Rev. Professor J. J.
Scherer,- Colonel Josiah Brown, and
William McCauley, Esq. From Geor
gia Synod: Rev. J. P. Margart, and J.
P. Taylor, M. D-
Revs. J. I. Miller and W. D. Strobel,
D. D., were selected to discuss the sub
ject of missions at the evening session of
Friday.
Rev. J. I. Millar, in an earnest man
ner set forth thegreat i_.pGrt.aqee of
mission work in the Lutheran Griu.-h
South. An organization small in com
parison with the General Synods North
and with other denominations around,
an aggressive missionary spirit was her
hope, her salvation. He then aroused
the Synod to the great advantage of
starting missions in large cities like
Richmond instead of wasting efforts in
smaller towns. After this he showed
that wherever there was a community
of Germans t her. was a work to perform
which no other could uniiei-t___ with
any hope of success. Pointing out the
wealth of intellect, the rich treasure of
doctrine, the prestige of a glorious past,
the vast material for her work, he
charged the Synod to thoow off the
gyves of a supposed ability, and with
the might of the grand Church of the
Reformation to go forward in the
stiength of the Lord, s.n<J with united
hearts and hands establish at imy> tj;e
mission here on a sure basis.
In his address, Rev. W. D. Strobel of
Rhinebeck, N. V, referred to the great
missionary work in the time of Luther,
and showed how it was all accomplislini
by the life of Christ infused into the
Church, and called upon the Synod to
infuse more of this life into its mission
work.
Tha English Lutheran church of
Richmond, of which Rev. W. C. Schaef
fer is pastor, started fear years ago with
seven members. It now ii_a eighty
three communicants, and is constantly
growing in grace, numbers, and useful
ness.
One of the most important matters
which came before the Synod at the
morning session Saturday was the re
port of the special committee appointed
to confer with the commissioner from
the Synod of North Carolina. The
Synod of North Carolina several years
ago severed its' connection with tne
general body, and action looking to the
re-establishment of foruierrelations has
resulted favorably for all the interests
involved.

Who do Readjusters Say?— The
Norfolk Landnqrk says of the Staun
ton convention :—
"What do our Readjuster friends Btfy
to this result ? It was very necessary
for them to capture the Staunton con
vention. They have failed after a hot
struggle, and this means that they are
ao£ wanted at the official tea party,
where thp bread and butter is not enough
to go around the rapiiy circle. We have
no advice to give to the leaders of the
Readjusters, but we call on th/ 3 white
lank and file to think over this great
business and to realize that the civiliza
tion of the white man is at stake. They
must go on one side or the other, must
10-i: arms with 'old marster' or with
Sambo, md we think we know them
well enough to predict where they will
be found. Anyhowi one thing is plain,
the Republicans want no Readjuster in
their party unless they are prepared to
cooie in as privates and fight their way
up to a commission, if they can."
More Millerite Rascallt j.
Dr. J. I. Ballou, an old gentleman
living in Wise county, and also Mrs.
Thomas Strong of Scott county, who
claim to have learned the secret from
Dr. Miller, are now practicing, and pro
fess to effect cures by the laying-on of
hands. Dr. Ballou will travel and bum
bug all who apply to him. It is a dis
grace to the age, and a humiliation to
Virginia, that such creatures should be
able to find silly dupes who will apply
to them for ministration. Tbey should
be ducked in the nearest pond, or sub
jected to worse treatment. They
serve either the straight jacket for their
insanity, or.severer punishment for
their rascality.
We believe that they are more knaves
than fools, and expect to make their
living from the credulity of fools.
Dr. Miller has succeeded so well in
imposing upon tbe credulous, that oth
ers are induoed to follow in bis footsteps
tbat they, like him, may fill tbelr pock
ets at the expense of the credulous and
afflicted. These impostors deserve to
have their ears cropped. An example
should be made of them, tbat other
may be deterred from playing similar
tricks, and imposing npon. Wfis-PfMnd
ed, but honest, people who nave the
misfortune to be afflicted with disease.
We feel it to be our duty in behalf of
the afflicted to expose such palpable ab
surdity, and, as we believe, such merce
nary rascality and devilish hypocrisy
on tbe part of these professed miracu-
Ipus healers. They pocket the money
and laugh at the Cr'edu.ti*y and folly of
their dupea.
Since the above was written, we have
received the Salem Conservative, which
[ says :—
"Doctor Miller, so called, is receiving
some rather uncomplimentary notices
at the hands of the press, and we arp not
30 sure but that they" are well deserved.
There is positively no grounds whatever
for any belief in the theory of his di
vine agency in healing diseases. Thou
sands of persons have visited him for
treatment since he came to Roanoke; of
all these not one has been restored to
health, or relieved in such a manner as
to uhaw tb&t Qpd had any hand in tbe
work. If, indeed, any really afflicted
person has been healed by his manipu
lations we do not know of it. Some
have doubtless experienced a degree of
relief at his hands, either real or imag
inary, but to say that he can heal dis
eases is saying too much, and we think
it is time the public should be advised
of it. Let no one visit Miller under
the impression that he is exercising any
other than $ natural gift possessed by
many other men, in equal (ir less degree.
The man is unquestionably highly
charged with electricity, and by a dex
trous application of his bands upon his
patients be is often enabled to palliate
or relieve pain. And this is the extent
of the powers of the noted Doctor Mil
ler. Many persons believe he is per
fectly honest in setting up tbe claim he
does to diviue agency in the matter, but
on the other hand there are those who
do.:i,t hjs sfncerity. If he is really sin
cere, he is a v-.itablp monomaniac pn
the subject of healing; l'f he is "hot _ihr
cere, he is as gross and cunning a hypo
crite as ever deceived a too credulous
people.
We deem it our duty to the public to
irj'ike this statement."
Tbe Fincaatie Jteraid, of Qtb inst.,
Bays :—
'The furore about the famous 'Dr.'
Miller, who is now at the Roanoke Bed
Sulphur Springs, still continues, and
hundreds are being duped by him.
From what we hear we are disposed to
believe Mr. Miller is innocent of any
deliberate intention to deceive, but he
is daily deceiving the people, neverthe
less, ft is now high time the press
were exposing this ffrepQStprQHS. super
stition, and assisting to educate ppoplp
up to better things."
Shenandoah Valley Railroad,
Under date of last Thursday, a corres»
bondent writes from Front .Royal to
the Baltimore Sun as follows:
OnWednesday the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad Company held its annual
tr"e*?tiȣ at Winchester, and elected
officers as" follows; president, Wm.
Milnes, Jr., Vice-president, U. L.
Boyce; directors, W. H. Travcrs, Alex.
Boteler, H. Hansberger, Logau Osborn,
Henry Davenport, David Byllmeyer,
Mann. Spitter, Aug. Boyd. Wm. D,
Smith, John D. Lovell.
Fifty-five miles of the road are
operated at present, the stations being
SUepb-jrdstown, Shenandoah Junction,
(crossipg Baltimore andQ-Jo,} Charles
town; Ripon, Fairfield, Jjerryyille,
Boyr-eviJle, (Millwood,) White Post,
Asliby's.Cedarvilie Crossing, Riverton,
dm the River aud Virginia Midland,)
Fiout Royal and Bentonviile. The
latter point will be reached on Monday.
From Bentonviile it is 16 miles to
Luray, and thence 55 miles to Waynes
boro', on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road. By the time the track is laid to
Luray the iron will be down to Way
ne-sboro', August!. At the other end
of tiie ljpe_tj.e road from Shepherds
town, W. Va., to JJagerptpwp, Md., 16
miles, will be finished by July J. These
breaks, when closed, will give a total of
142 miles, from Waynesdoro', Augusta,
county, Va , to Hagerstown, which will
be in operation by August 1.
The total force eugaged in construc
tion comprises 3,200 men Within the
past three weeks $180,000 have been
paid for right of way, in part on ihe
Maryland end. Of the five counties iv
Virginia through which the road passes
only three have made county subscrip
tions, vi-j : Jefferson $240,000 with $_~--
000 reserved | Clarke f }PQ,Q.()Q, ou wpiclj
the last installment was paid May 5,
and Page $200,000, still due. The coun
ties not subscribing aie Warren, Au
gusta and Rockingham. The people of
tbis part of the valley are proud to re
alize that the Shenandoah road is not
an ignisfatuus, and also that the Valley
road is to be built. They also have a
lively faith that the Shenandoah line
will be extended beyond Waynesboro'
towards the South.
The equipment of the Shenandoah
Valley row already consists of 10 first
class passenger eoa&hes,,", engines a "d
50 freight cars. Ten raose engines and
160 freight cars are contracted for, to be
delivered August 1. The route is
through a fine and beautiful wheat
growing country, and the enterprise
has given an extraordinary impetus to
the business of all the towns along the
line. Many buildings have been erected,
and there is a prospect of much sum
mar tr«v<i) and residence this season la
this delightful region of '/irginiij. The
road bed is well ballasted, aud the track
is as easy as an old road. The chief en
gineer is Mr. W. W. Coe. The com
pany's office was ordered to be moved
permanently to Luray, where the an
nual and other meetings of the railroad
company will be held hereafter.

Gen. Mahone's Speech.—-The lead
er of tbe Readjusters was brought over
from the Rockbridge Alum by Mr. Jas.
A. Frazier on Monday last to make a
speech to his people. The crowd in
town was not a large one and there was
no enthusiasm among the few followers
of the little General, outside the head
centre. An accident to the buggy in
coming over the mountain delayed his
arrival till a late hour. The General
did not appear to be in good feather, and
I his speech fell fiat. The negroes do not
much relish bis statement that they owe
nothing to the Republicaa party, and
can't account for the fact of his people
endeavoring to manage the Staunton
Convention and yet their leader be a
Democrat. This is a puzzling problem
to both parties. The fact of tbe busi

instead of Quarterly, and, as belore said, will
yearly contain fifty per cent, more printed
matter than ls now given in the Quarterly Re

The subscription price for this work will be
50 cents a year. A premium In patterns to the
