Perrin, clerk of the board of county commissioners, was shot and instantlykilled by Trial Justice L. I. WCoolf on Meeting street, opposite City Park. The two men, in Com. pany with Deputy United States Mar tshal fHendricks and Reid, had been conversing in front of Vulbern's res taurant, a short distanco above T HE SCENE oF T blE lURDER. Woolf, was in linnior, took cffe!nce at some trival remark of Pet ri1's and oursed hiuj as a d-d black-guard. Perrin said, "Woolf, do not, Call me a blackguard." Wool, however, re Peated the assertion, whereupon 'er riostruck him in the face with his hand. Woolf made an attempt to re turn t he blow, but was seized by lion. dricks before ho could do so. The latter led! him into the restaurant and endeavoed to persunde him that the btw had been struck in jest. In tle Mewanwhile oerrin and Rerid wiked down ieeting street in the direction of Broad street. After some per rion on llendricqos part, Woolf consented to make tio turthier attempt to renew the alterentiion, and on say ing that the matter would be dropped the p re forer released his hold. Woolf then went to the bar in a rear room and called for a drink, Hen driekv remaitsing in the vestibule. W hile driking the liquor Woolf told the proprietor, Mir. Wulbern, that he INTENDED TO SHOUT PERRIN, and as soon as hic left the bar Mr. Wulbern informed H~endricks, who was %till int thbe vesitibule, to that effect. Woolf by this time had 4tepp ed into the street whidther Hlendricks followed as soon as he learned of Woolf's avowil of a murderous inten tiou. The latter overtook Perrin and Reid in front of Major Corbin's resi dence, and drew a revolver. Porrin turned partly 'round and cried, "Don't shoot, I ai ubarmed." Woolf fired twice, however, in quick succes sion, and it is alleged, was about to fire a third titue, when the pistol was wrenched from his grasp by lien dricks. Perrin fell to the pavoment and.instantly expired. Several de. teetives and a poliecinan having been attracted by the reports of the pibtol, n1ow appeared upon the scene, A11RR1sTED TIlE MURDERER. and carrieil him to the Guardhouse, where he is now oo:.tiued.

A Noble Tribule to our Departeil llerors. (Exira -.. fron hev Dr. Pitlnier's .td-irws in the Lee Memorial Chapel, June 28ti, 1872 ] "Fiinally, we must bring over to the future a patriotism that is born of -dvorsity and trial, niore intense and -,ure thau in the prosperous and joy ful past. Love of country is extinguishable, becaure it is filial. It ranks with that we owe to the parents that be gat us, and have given to us their image and their name. But I plead for it not upon the cold footiig of duty, but as a precious senti. ment of the heart. As a princui pie, it strikes its root fur doewin into the consoiousncss, but its bloom must expand into a holy passion, and its fruit ripen iuto acts of enduring seivice for the public weal. The beet affections of the soul are those which strengthen under trial. The alloy of selfishness burns in the crucible, and the pure love comes forth with a power of endurance whieh nothing can exhaust. It. is thus we bear up each other under the discipline of life, not through the comn pulsion of necessity nor t-he cold obligation of duty, ut with a warm devotion which iiuds its joys in the ministries of love. A genuine patrio. tism is not that which shouts itself hoarse awid holiday celcbtations, but when thei country groans in the an guish of a great crisis, waits upon1 its destiny, though it be that of the tomb. And this land of ours, furrowed by so many graves and overshadowed by such solein memories, calls for a con. secration of the heart which shall be equal to its grief. The patriotism which these days demand must refine itself into martyrdom. It must stif fer as well as act. Strong in the cou. sciousuess of rectitude, it must nerve itself to endure centradiction and scorn. If need be, it must weep at the burial of civil liberty, and wait with the heroism of hope for its car tain resurrection. Sich a spirit will wear out the lovgest tyranny and assist at the coronation of a brighter destiny. Young gentlemen of the Univeri ty, I have delivered the message with which I telt. myself charged.

Then, in the name of honesty, we ask why did he not disclo-e them ? If lie is the honestman lie is represented to be, and saw, as he s:iys lie did, the corruption of the other officials, why did he not come out boldly and denounce the rascals? No, Mr. Tomlinson, we could not trust the man who would see men plotting our destruction and not wain us of our danger any more th.un we would those who carried the plot into execution.-Union Times. If it required anything to show that the reform of which Judge ,rr and his followers into the bolting con. veution professed themselves to be intent upon effecting was a shallow and meaninglets pretence, it will be found in the language of every one of them, not only at the convention, but since they have arrived at home - hi.t if the Liberal Republicans and Democrats should bring out a ticket they will immediately abandon the field and coalesce with nen whom they have bitterly denounced as thieve.,, robbers, liars and villains.

The North and South Railroad will be comnplosed from Eufauia to beeat-ur hy the 20th inst Negro Traits. The way in which evil is soiel t suggested to the immaturo mimui f servants and children by ne i: them on speculation of somni fa: wrong-doing, the manner in %fl they are thus shown the practicnl.i ty of aeto which they would otherv suppose impossible for them to clmplisih, has seldoin boon bei illustrated than in a story, whi. still circulates in Virginia, cone. i ing a negro boy "which his name, was" Bill lie was owned by an oeitric old lady, whose suspici. naturo made life a burden to hers. and every one around her. One d. she stont ill into the collar to di: 3ide-r for dinnor. Tihe cellar ci tiined also some fresh butter, and, the boy failed to appear within reasonable t im.-, she began to fear f.r its safety. Golaig to the head of th. stairway, she ealled to him . "Bill. what are you doing dow' there ? I know you aro stealing that. butler !"1 "L'aw, misses,'" replied the boy. "how could I steal do butter ? W ha r is I got to put it ?" "Why, you could bide it in your shir hosonii'' sho iucautiously al swered. "Bless your heart, Massa Jolh," said the grinning negro, as ho arter - wards told the story to my grandfath er,"I never wanted for butter fromt that. day !" The real, though perhaps uncon sious creed of a vast number of' per sons, is well expressed in the advice given by an old black man to a wild young Virginian. "Massa Richard," said this boary evil-doer, solemnly lifting up his hand to emphasize his admonition, "if theie is a hereafter don't carry on-but," ho added, suddenly breaking out, into enthusiasm and a broad grin, "if there ain't no hereafter carry on powerful." I am sorry to say that tihe young gentlemnon adopted the latter half of his sablo mentor's instruction with a readiness with which advice is sel. dom received, or, at least, acted upon. Talking of a future existence recalli the opinion pronounced upon his own prospects, and those of his race by an elderly mulatto man, the dining room servant of a houso on the banks of the Ra ppahannock. Ieo was over whelmingly genteel ; and to see him solemnly retreat to his butler's pantry before allowing himself the luxury of a smile or a cough, made one quite ashamed to indulge in such demon strations. Ile scarcely ever spoke but when lie did so, it was to express some decided conviction at the inevi table destiny of his race in this world and the next.. "It's no use to tell me," he wouUl jerk out in short sentences, "that white folks and niggas are going to the same place in heaven. Sure as you are born there'll be a quartor built off for us to live in. And they'll have something for us to do ; why they'll set us to pushing along the clouds if they can't find anything elso." Beforo the war there lived on a plantation near Lynchburg an old colored preacher, whose sormons were truly remiarkable.
