Conservative I'nionlat* In Vorth Carolina RALEIOH, September 23.-The Progress and Sen? tinel, conservative newspapers, will contain the following'call for a primary meeting of constitu? tional Union men to-morrow, signed by ovor two hundred influential citizens: lb the Conservative Constitutional rnion Men Wake County:-The nndersigned, citizens of Wake County, fl lends of the American Union, and sup? porters of the Constitution of the United States, being convincedthat theincorportion of the Brown low-Holdon-Radical programme into tho constitu? tion of the State would most surely embarrass, if not annihilate all enterprise, all hope of recuperation; wonld discourage all immigration, diminish in? vestments of capital, and destroy all sources of employment fer our laboring population; do most earnestly imploro all c onservative citizens in every county of the State to hold meetings for tho adop? tion of such plans ss they may deem wisest and heat for nniting and consolidating tho conserva tire influence of the State; to effectively prevent the success of tho ultra Republican or Radical rule in onr State organization. Tho Congress of the United States has cut us eft" from all participa? tion in national politics. Nothing is left us but the caie of oor Siate institutions. This move has nothing to do with national politics or with hindering or obstructing any law of Con gress. Ir lu* simple reference onlv to oreventing the incorporation of those Radical principles and measures into our State organization, which would place t?e control of tho government in the hands of the ignorant, vicious, and most unprincipled among us, which would certainly result in the destruciion of enterprise and the vitality of the State. All aid ana encouragement, therefore, which this movemort could give tho friends of constitutional liberty and free government else? where would simply be incidental. We therefore oree all conservative constitutional Union men Of thu county, holding these views, to unite with us in holding a meeting at the Court House in tais city on Friday, the 27th, to eflect the above named object. We urge our fellow-citizens of the sevtiid Re? gistration Precincts of the county to unite with ns, or hold meetings in their several Precincts. Gen. Pope's Jury Order. AUGUSTA. September 23.-:Judge Reese, of the Superior Court, writes to General Pope that he cannot carry out the recent jnry orders, the same being violations of the law of Georgia, and of the State and Federal Constitutions. Judge Reese claims that registration is entirely optional, and not compulsory;'and because a man, v..o may be otherwise' a loyal citizen, does net register, it is no reason why be should be excluded from serving on the jory. Gen.Pope replies that the Military Bill gives him the-fight to set asid* say law of the State which comes in conflict with the Military Bill. Or deis 53 and ">"> were issued by virtue of powers vested in him by Congress; he considers the jnry order necessary to the execution of the Recon? struction Acts, which became laws in ihe manner provided br the COnstitition. Aa the question of iis unconstitutionality has been presented to the Supreme Court, and that tribunal had decided that :t had no jurisdiction, the farther consideration vi that question by subordinate military or judicis officers, is scarcely admissable. General Pope concludes by requiring Judge Reese to carry ont his orders. Judge Reese, iu a secoud lotter, goes over simi? lar ground, arriving at che conclusion that he cannot conform to Pope's orders, but shall continuo the dut ies of his office as hereto? fore, until prohibited. Pope then requested Rcose to resign, which he refus* d to do, but considors bis fetter as a positive prohibition agtinst the furthti ewroise of judicial power. From Richmond.

My attention ha i been directed to a letter f columns of the Anti-Slacery Slan'tard, from leis E. W. HARPES to Colonel HINTON, date' Jmington, X. C. July 26th, 1867, and also a munication in the same paper ovor the sigi I of "Watchman." Both of these commnnici ' contain statements iu reference to J??ff Get under sentence of death for the murder of D GANDY, SO utterly false and at variance with a circumstaucas and facts of the case, that I de ray duty, acquainted as I am with the caso its inception u> it* present position, to pu public in possossion of all the facts conn with it. This horrible murder was ooinuiitted ou th of May, 18C5, in Marion District, S. C., on plantation of the late J. S.-GIBSON. At the M"r. GANDV was murdered he waB the oversea the plantation, and had beon tor the twelve ceding years, i have beon physician for the \ tation for the last nine years. I saw Mr. 6' Homo eight or ten days before he was killed, ho told me that he expected constantly to be s that two of the negro men on the place hat formed him confidentially that there were two pieious looking whit 3 * men: and ono nc strangers, well armed, lurking about tho pla Hon, inquiring where they could meet Mr. G AI and threatening to kill any one who should Mr. G.INDY anything about them. Several ger men have informed me that Mr. GANDY told tl the same thing, and their certificates can be tamed rf necessary. At*he name time Mr. GA informs^ me that some perspns had been shoot and kilting his hogs, and dragging them from open field, making a trail so plain that you mi run on it. When he told me of these bold i daring thefts, my appr?hendons wpre more tl over aroused to his danger, and 1 advised him to follow these trails ' hereafter, if any should made, aa I was convinced that they were made decoy him near enc ugh to-the awamptosh him. He had, fiowevor, taken the same view the case as myself, and had kept out of shooti distance of the woods. Thia was the last conv sation I ever had with him. In the afternoon of the 8th of May a messent, came for me to see Mr. GANDY, stating that he h been shot and killed on the plantation. I >< from home, and did not retani until late at nigi Hearing that several gentlemen had gone don and that Mr. GANDY was oertsinlyj^eajd^ ?J*id"i fro to the plantation until the next morning. Wh I reached the house a heart-rendpg spectacle pi aented itself. There lay the corpse, with a wou: in the side of the neck, and another through 1 head, and hhs blood and brains dripping an f floor, and his four or five little orphan cliildr (their mother having died a few years befor Balking around their father's lifeless body, th? little cheeks scalded with tears of grief. At this time an inquest was jeld, but no testim ly identifying the murderers could be obtaine Hack Gibson (freedman) was examined before tl nquest, and he was the only witness whose tea tim ly bad any bealing on the caa?. He s tuted.that M SANDY had ridden from his noone to where a nun HT of the negroes were ploughing, and, after si in tr on his horse among them for ,i short time-, 1 ?de off in the. direction of a shelter around ti lead ot a branch, and he supposed that he woul ?ross the railroad, which dividod the plantatioi o go lo liomc- negroes who were working on tb ither side. "Soon after he ' he Ard the 'report of run toward the branch, and in the direction c bo railroad. To this ho paid no attention, sui xtsing it was some porson Bhooting 6i|uirrcLi )ut, ven* soon the horse Mr. GANDV ha x>on riding cams dashing back with saddle au >ridle on to where thoy wore ploughing thinking that the horse had thrown Mr. GAND? ;hc foreman of thc ploughs ordered Mack t nonnt him and ride him to the plscn where h ast saw Mr. GANDY. He (Mack) further state hat as he turned the he*J of tho branch ho sav Ir. OANOT three or four hundred yards distan rom him, running toward some fodder stacks ml. af tel - leaching them, ho fell against the frnci hat oncloscd them, until two men who were ii mrsuit of him came up. One of Lhein jerked hin rom the fence and Bhot him down. Bocoinirtt Jarmed for his own safely. Mack" stated that ht [alloped back to thu negroes ho had just left, ant old them what he had seen. He therefore saw lothiugmore of the assassine. All this waa dont n full view of Mr. (JANDY'S houso, and, I was in innied, was seer by some of tho servants in Utf .ard. It was ascertained at the inquest that Mr. GAN >Y had no arms about his person when ho was murdered-all he ownod were found in his house titer his body was taken to it. His body was obbed of shoos, socks and coat, a fine gold yatch, a small amount of specie, and a knife that ie was known to havo had about him. Here tho nquest, being unable to gather any more i TI Mr nation, rendered a verdict in accordance with the act A before t hem, Believing that these bad men committed this murder to rob, and, also, that unless they yere identified and convicted HO that the ven reauce of the law might reach them, that it re?id embolden others to commit liKe il.-eds for ike purposes, I determined to be vigilant and nutiouely to inquire of Doth white and black in ??der, if possible, to find some clnp to the affair, ind I requested Mr. ERVIN BAILEY and others to lo likewise and repoi their success. Here the matter rested, ?ind was involved in mystery unt? about th? first of November, 1866, it which time Mr. BAILLY came to nie and inform? ad me that he had got on track of the assaa Jins-that he had received confidential informa* ;ion to the effect that Hampton (freedman) had tctually witnessed a part of the affair. Thc fol owiug-schome was then devised to detect tho vhole thing : BAILEY was to visit Hampton re? latedly to gain bis cinfldence, and, whon he bought he had succeeded, to report to me; this ie did. It ms then concluded that BAILEY should .ell Hampton thal his (BAILEY'S) life had been threatened by a man who had been stealing his hogs, and to ask Hampton to recommend some st uinch man, if he knew any, who would not only prDtect bia rights, but shoot the thief if necessa? ry. We believed that if Hampton knew who tho masams weie he would be almost certain to re jommend ono or more of them. Accordingly, in ?bout two weeks, BATLEY went to see Hampton; told him of the hog thief; asked his advice, and the scheme succeeded so far as the result has proven. Jeff (iee was recommended by Hampton as a suitable person tor the work, and at the same time he directed Mr. Bailey to cali on two other freedmen, one bi ing about six miles distant and the other tea, to ob? tain information as to Jeff's whereabout*. Up to this time, neither Balley or myself, ox an ? one else to our knowledge, had ever siispeccted Jeff Geo, though it was known that he had bo2n a runaway for a number of years; that tor a large part o? the time he had confined himself to that and the ad? joining neighborhoods, and that he was a man of desperately bad character, as I shall afterward pi ovo. Mr. Bailej, acting upon Hampton's advice, went immediately to see tbe freedman who lived neajeet to him, and told him that he was iu search of his brother's horse Uhf>t hud been stolen a shoit time before), anti at the 6ame time told him the stery of his wrongs by the hog thief, and asked his advice in pretty much tht bame word* as li? bad asked Hampton's. He, too, recommended Jeff Gee, anet Sromised to find out where he was living, and let tr. Bailey know. Mr. Bailey thon went to see the other freedman, repeated the same story to him, and expressed a desire to see .Tefl'Gee, as he had been recommend ed to him as the right man to protect him. 'i bis freedman then statod to Mr. Bailey that Jeff find lived on thc- same placo us himself a part of tho preceding year, but was accused by his employ? r of breaking open and robbing his mill house, and was dischaiged; but remarked to Bailey that if he wanted any shooting done. Jeff was a" dangerous man. and would undoubtedly shoot. Upon Bailey's inquiring his reasons for thia account of Jct), ho stated that Jeff and two white men, ono ulled Jack Walker, and thc other Shuinach, had been about there for five or six mouths prior to Mr. Gaudy's murder; that they had shot and Killed steck, and played the mischief generally] that he saw them t pether dozens uf times un the planta? tion; ?hut tliey visited bio house repeatedly, and also other houses on the premises; that they wen? well armed, dangerous looking men; that lit* was afraid of them, and BU ?rere thc o thor black penpli f,n the placo, nb thev said tli*v would kill am one whoutredtn talk about them, tte ?30 stated that Jeff and his two companions, after an absence ot eight or ten dava, returned to his house a night 0u i?v ftPr Mi? ?andy was murdeied. ?nd from what thev said, he was confident that they kill-.I Mr. Oandy, and that whou remarked to them hat he couid not understand how they cold havo A! H IM,^111 a nun., one of them"rcpl td that he could k?l twenty m0i i. Bailovnud myself were both well acquainted with this last freedman. ? have known liun for the last forty-seven years, and ne has been remarkable for hi's honesty and veracity. Bailey next went to ace JeU, who was employed on a plantation two or three miles from Florence. which waa superintended hJ 0IK' o' Baileys reit lives. Hero Bailey speni iii* night, and the nus morning, at his request, .Tefl was sent for and cam immediately to 0e? bim. Bailer told hun that h was hunting for a stolon horse, "and that he (.Tefl lind been recommended to him bv several person ab a sharp man, and one likely to ?ive lum aasi.il ance. He promised assistance, and Bailey waa t< return in u few days. At the next interview, wilie] was m a few days (the stolon horse not havini been recovered). Bailev told him tho'old storv o his difficulty with tho hoc; thief, and askod hin to como down to his house and stick A load of eliot in the? thief if neeo?sarv (this hi consented to do i, and at the samo moment tole him that he had all confluence in him: that Hamp ton and others had told him how nicely he, Shu mach and Walker had put Gandy out ol tho way and it hid nover upon found out. The arrav ol names wa?. to?i strong for .red", and he nuuk no denial. Bailey then asked him to stale thc particulars, which ho did in confidence. (Hie confession will appear ?hen I give Bailey's testi? mony before the Court.) Bailev then wetit imme? diately to Hampton and told him of Jeff's con? fession, and Hampton, for the first time, told Bailey whar he afterward swore to before the Court. Ur. John E. Gandy, the brother of Daniel Gan? dy, was informed of those confessions, and he im? mediately had Jeff arrested and lodged in Marion Jail, in Mnreh last. He was tried in April last, be? fore his Honor Judgo Aldrich. The following ovi lenco was given on the trial. tMack Gibson's tes? timony has already been stated.) Hampton (freedman) stated that he was a rnn nvay; that on the morning of tho dav on which Mr. Gandy was murdered, ho went into Murray's Neck (which is a denselv wooded piece of ground ?early in tue middle ot* the plantation) for the purpose of trying to get some provisions from the dough hands, who were working at thia time near hu edge of the woods. As he was approaching, :he plough hands he saw three men, all well trmod with grins and revolvers. Thoy were about bree or four hundred yards from tho railroad, in he same thicket or wood*, just a little below vhere the bauds were ploughing in thc field. As he woods wore very thick, ho did not see them mtil ho got within thirtv or forty yards of them. Vt sight of them ho professed to have been much righteued, but they beckoned and called to him, n a low tone of voice, to come up. Ho did so, ind they then askod him where ho was going; he old them that ho was a runaway, and waa going o get some provisions from the plough hands, lt this time a small man, whom he heard answer o the name of Shumach, stooped and looked hrough thc bushes, flaying, aa he did so, that he rould like to get a pop at that d-d old rascal. ?e (Hampton! then looked and saw Mr. Gandy itting OJ his horse near the hands, and then aid- "Mon, you had hetter not shoot Mr. Gandy 1?re." They asked his reason, and he told them hal if they killed Mr. Gacdv at that place all the rhite peo j ile would believe that some of the black icople killed him. After thia he lett .hem and ralked off in the diroction of tho railroad, but had lot proceeded far before the three men followed, nd when (bey reached the corner of the fence which is near the railroad), Jeff Gee andShu aach climbed upon tho fence and looked aa if they rere watching.some one. Hampton then looked nd saw Mi. Gandy riding around the head of the iraneh toward thu shelter. This accounted for heir falling back to tho road. At the disappear hceof Mr. Gandy behind thc branch, Shuniacb nd Jeff jumped off tho fence and said that tliev rould cut him off bolow, and asked Hampton if ie thought they could do it. He told them that hey could not; that it was too far, and they would e found out. Shu mac li again called tu Jeff to ome on and they would try it, and he and eff ran off down tho track of the railroad. VJktv than said to them: "D-n it, don't r; hoar the old daddy say it ia too far!" ?hey, however, pt_d no attention, and he nd' Walaer followed on the track for about n hundred yards and lind stopped, and rere talking, when they beard a gun fire about rhcre he supposed Jeff and Shumach were. At his report, Walker exclaimed, "There, by G-d, hey have got a pop at him,'r-hnd ran off in the anio (hrection, saying to Hampton,' Come on." tut he stated that he turned back and saw them o more. He had seen Jeff Gee before, ?nd knew im at tiret eight. Mr. Ervin Bailey was tlc nett witness. He tated that Jeff toidhira that, after Mr. Gaudv rode ?" iron", the plough hands, and diaappearod from lula behind the brauch, that be and Shumach an down the track of tho railroad to cut him off diere thoy thought ho would cross the track, and hat j?st as they roached the place they saw Mr. (anny coming.: He* (Jeff) then dropped on his lieus and said t<? Shumach that the hindmost ian must shoot first. ' Shumach took a rest on hi? boulder, and arnon Mr. Gandy came aa near as bey wished, Shumach tired, and at tho report of he'gun ?Ir. Gandy Calf from his "hora?, and the loise ran off. I hey thought ho waa killed; but in moment or two he jumped up and ran offin the ame direction thal he hud come Jeff also stated li?t ho saw Mr. Gandy would get away, and, as he in laster than Shumach, he took ? nearer way nd headed Mr. Gandy at thc fodder stacks, and aere shot and wounded his dog, and kept Mr. iandv until Shumach and Walker came up. Shu ?aeh" shot and killed him immediately after he anio up. They then robbed bim of a watch, some louey, his kniie. shoes, bocks and coat, and that 0 (Jeri ) was behind the fodder stacka when Mack fitaon rode in sight. They then hastened out of ight into the swamp. Here cloded the evidence, and the case went lu ar- jurv. Jeff was defended by three able lawjera, ppointed by tho Court. He waa found guilty of mrder, and *entenc?rt to be hung the first Friday 1 June. He was inform?e, while thc jury had retired to lake np their \erdi.'t, that any statement he ould make would add nothing, and he then openly onfeased, to moro than a dozen mon, that thc videnco of Bailey and Hampton was true: and he Iso has confessed his guilt, since his conviction, y a minister who bas been visiting him in prison. The whole proceodiuga of the trial were watched y an officer of the Freedraen'a Bureau, and, as ir as I know, he has not only not protested gainst the verdict of the jurv, but has acquiesced i its decision. I have no doutvt that Jcfi wan the leading nd master spirit ol the gang He had been lurk ig about thc plantation so long that I do not oubt he had seeii Mr. Gandy oft eu, yet I believe Ir. Gandy had never seen either of nia assassina util a few moments before they murdered him, nd consequently could have given them no offence The question then is "What motive had they jr taking his life ?" Mr. Gandy had thereputation of having a large mount of money. Jeff, no doubt, knew this, and nth his two companions waylaid him until they illod him, in the belief that" they would reap ii ich harvest from hi* pockets. As to Jeff's antecedents, they are extremely bad; nd although ho haden indnlgent and humane linster, he spent most of his time in the woods, ?"here wi re nine or ten men shot recently in this nd the adjoining eominnnities during the six uonths preceding the close of the war, and cir umstances have since come to light loading to he belief that he was concerned in most if not all if tliein, and certificates to this effect can be fnr lished if necessary. He confessed to Bailey that ho shot at hia old ?aster and Mr. Ooddin, and, therefore, na all of ho crimea were committed within thu theatre of tis exploits, it ls but reaiionablo to conclude that io was engaged in all of them, lt .was reporto 1 a hort time before Gaudy waa killed that Tom ir.iwn, colored, who waa a runaway, hud boon ulled hy bia companions, with whom ho had a mariel, and sunk in Black Creek. No one believed nu at the time, yot Toni has never been seen or leard of sinco. It has been ascertained that Jeff lee, vYalker and Shumach were hia companions, md tho last time they were seen together was near ho place where hu was said to have been killed. Toney Dargan, colored, waa alao killed, and Bir? min stances equally strong attach tho crime to the .ame gang of men. The said Toney seems to have leen a valuable and trusty man. Ho had complain ;d of some deprcdatious committed on thu planta ion of the late Chancellor Dargan, and for tliie illence he was dragged from his own house at light, tied, taken off and shot ; his body was after varrls lound and identified. It is now, perhaps, proper for me to notice inore u detail such parla of the communications refer? red to above as relate to the case of Jeff Gee. Frances F. W. Harper saya : "But to return to Marion. While there I visited Jeff Gee. Do you toow anything of Jeff Gee? He.iaa young man inder sentence of death as un accomplice m a mul? ler committed by two Union soldiers, escaping 'rom Florence stockade, ibis colored mau hid these men several weeks ; he says that he ia not ruiltv ; that the man killed would be living to-daj f lie'had hud his way; thc soldiers escaped, and thia mau is under sentence of death, and was to have been executed the third Frida) in July, and now the jailor tells me he is to h.- the second Friday in August ' Ft unces E. W. Hui pei seems to haw- consulted no ono, or deemed it necessary to commit any one about the facts of the ease except the convicted murderer himself ; and with this she goes lortlv a? though it were au inluUible truth, to harangue the public foi sympathy und interference in Iiis behalt. Now the statements of Frances E. W. Harper, as coming nom Jell', aie utterly fal?c There was no stockade of soldiers at Florence when Mr. Gandy was murdered, b'th of May, IS?Z. All the prison? ers had boen rem.-.ved in thc month of February, 1865, to Salisbury N. C. But if liiev were Union soldiers which 1 uanoi believe,they lia.l ample opportunity to join Shermans army, which passed through Darlington District about tho first of April, and within twelve miles of thru principal rendezvous, and sonic cavalrv came within two milos ol it, ?md there were no Confederate soldiers to interpose to prevent them. As to the statement that Gandy would have been living if Jeff had had bis way, ii. is only necessarv to refer to a part of Jeff s confession ic fJsilc'i to tap?se \W- -hallo? device. Jeff, as 1 ir fore said, etate.l to Bailey that Candy would have t scapi d after bring wounded if he bad not cut lum ort at the fodder stA.-ks and kept bim tbeu until Walker and Shumacl.eaine ap.

(Ice was accessor! ?n tai' as standing bv was concern ed All of UK above ?talement? ure false, i have before stated that i have been physician for the plantation for Hie last niue years past, and still act m that capacity, and therefore have hud el .n op portunity to know the r.talc ot things. The dv rcttsed was a ?pieuaid manager, and though he may have Lad unraly spinta to encounter I never saw anything brutal He was remarkably atten? tive to the sick .-md was always ready,"when I visited the place, to take direction* und administer to their relief. He was a thorough Unionist bad no sympathy with the nar and contributed no? thing to its suppoit but what the law tool; from him. At one time, a large number of prisoners escaped from the stockade, and thronged the plan? tation, but he neither reported nor arrested one of them. Gee and his confederates did encounter Mr. Gandy, but they did it in that sly and stealthy manner in which a "cat -approached its prey before springing upon it. Gee did stand by, and with a vengeance, for he kept tho poor wouuded man from escapiug, and aocurding to his own confes? sion, kept him at bay until his pursuers came up and shot his brains out. It is also Baid "General Scott had sufficiently in vestigated tho case to know that tho act was" one of war, for which the freedman could in no way be responsible." Ir General Scott possesses tho impartial, intelli? gent and discriminating judgment which the re? sponsible position he holcU should command, I can scarcely believe ho ever cime to a conclusion so ridiculous. The war had ended, and cvervbodv, whito and black, know it. The officers and sol? diers of the Federal and Confederate armies were passing through this District at tho timo without hindrance or molestation from anv sourco what ever. In the investigation made by General Scott, at Marion, but ene witness, in addition to those ex? amined before the Court, was allowed, as 1 have been informed. Be was in the court house while the trial was progressing, He was not introduced is a witness for Jeff, nor was any such defenco as ?tis (Jeffs) piloting Union soldiers made. The rtxid person stand? discredited bofore our Conrts for the last fifteen years, and no respectable man n this community will believe him on his oath. This is a plain and honest account of the whole iffair, andi challenge an investigation from anv lourco whatever, and deny that anv statement loroin made can be successfully controverted. W. R. JOHNSON. MARS BLUFF. August Slat, 1867. W ASHINGTON NEWS. The Washington correspondent of the New York Jerald of Saturday sayH: General Sickles had a protracted intorviewwith lonoral Grant at the War Department to-day. No leflnito conclusion waa reached in his caso, and ho 9 atill hore awaiting orderj. Ho has made a fresh lomand for a court of inquiry to examine into his dminietrntion of affairs in the Second Military )iatrict. If it i* not granted he will . probablv re? ign his commission in the armv, tor the purpose f making a roply to tho charge made against him iy President Johnson in his proclamation. While ie rpmainH in the army he cannot, he says, vindi ate himself in any other way than by ? court of iiquiry. Failing to obtain that, he proposes to esign and go before the people. Gen. Sickles received an official letter from Gov. >rr, of South Carolina, this evening, in which the itter states that while ho was at first opposed to omo ot Gen. Sickles' orders while in command of be Third Military District, he is now satisfied that is administration waa, on tho whole, marked by rest wiBdom, mod?ration and forboarauce. This, e says, is the sentiment of the element io South larohoa which he (Orr; represents. He further tates that ho believes the people of South Caro? na aro largely indebted to Gen. Sickles' adminia ratiou for much of the pro?periiy and good order revailiug lhere. The Governor closes his lotter, drich is quite 'engthy. with expressions of regret t the removal of Sickles. Intelligence has been receivod horn to the effect hat the wealthier classes of tho people of North nd South Carolina have petitioned (lenci al Canrry, ow in command then, to continue in forT Geno ?I Sickles' Order No.TO. They represent that it is rescinded tho effect will bo to beggar them, ecauso if thoir land is put up at public sale under lie present depressed condition of affairs there it 'ill not bring one-halt ita real value.

The remains of the mfortunatc Duko of Reichst?dt, son of Napoleon "are to bo brought from their resting place ut ,rienna and deposited in the uowlv restored vaults if the Abbey of St. Denis, in Paria. The comuiis lion charged with tho duty has already boen sp? linted, auJ Taris will soon havo a funeral show is a novel excitement. Louis Napoleon is detcr uined to make hiatory. Just as tho Legitimists nterpodcd a fictitious reign of Louis XVII, bo woon tho execution of Louis. XVI. and the resto .ation of Louis XVIII., ignoring the Republic and he Empire, HO Louis Napoleon skips over tho Restoration, the July Monarchy and the Second Republic, calls himself Napoleon UL, and socks to 111 up tho intervening space with a Nupolcon [I. Tho child, who waa born Kiug ol Rome, and [vho died Dnke of Reichst?dt, did indeed occupy, ivhen three years old, for a very short time, the posi? lion of Emporor of tho French. That time was ?he interval between the downfall of the Emperor ind thc restoration of the Bourbons, when his father abdicated in bia favor. But the tacts of history aro that he was, from his fourth year to the dav ot his death, a prisoner at the court of his grandfather, Francis of AuBtria. This ia the miss? ing link In the Napoleonic dynasty which the present Emperor wishes to supply. While the bones jf thc exiled Prince, who never" knew a kingdom, rest in thc capital where he pined away bis young life, his very existence must be a sort ot myth to the French nation. Let them be conveyed to France and deposited in a royal mausoleum with regal honors, and the second Napoleon becomes a real and tangible personage, completing the suc? cession and vitalizing the claims nf Louis Napo leon lo tue title of the Third Emperor. When show goes for so much, thia ran but have the ef? fect intended, and history will stand, if not si? lenced, at least abashed, betbra-the imperial shrine ,,f the Becoud Napoleon. _ ?LECTIONS.-That our readers may have before them, for r?f?rence, vu- publish the names ol States in which elections ute place [his vear: [owa--October 8.

"The castle of Hichmoud stand? l'air ou a hill, But ruy castle, quoth Allen, htanda gallanter attn." I have seen many a city famous in story, whose towers and turrets were gray with the dust of centuries; but a fairer than Richmond it has never r een my fortune to v'ew. Enthroned on her seven hills, once the capital of a great and glori?te com? monwealth, Bhe, like her far-famed sistewof the Eastern Continent, has wept bitter tears and been clothed in ashes. Unlike her, she is fast throwing off the pall of gloom which has enshrouded her, and will, ere long, assert herself, as of old, proud Queen of the James. Little do T wonder at the love her sons and daughters boar her; she has a strango fascination for all who come within lier charmed circle, if they arc not doad to the beauti? ful. Go whero you will, in or around her, to her bill tops or her valleys, each landscape is more charming than all the rest. I have a particular fancy for "Church Hill;-' not so fashionable as its neighbor across the valley, but my favorite part of the city. There stands ">kl Ut. John's, the very embodiment of a sweet, luiel English village church, so secluded and rural Iocs it seem. As you stand 'mid tho time-honored ombs, gazing at tho simple edifice which crowns U hill-top, you forgot that you aro almost in the ?eart of a great city, resounding with tho hum of may life, and aro carried back to the timo whon hat unpretending odifice re-echoed to tho clarion ones of Virginia'? noble son, PATRICK HENRY-for his little church has its proud historic memories, ,nd in that boars off tho palm from the more im ?osing structures on "Suockoo Hill."

MARRIAGE OK A HINDOO GIRT, TO AN IDOL.-The illowing curious account of the marriage of a undoo gul to an idol is given by the Oude lizette: "Some time ago a paper of the northwestern rovincea announced the arrival of .tu old Deccan trahmin with his family in the town of Muthra, rhere Rungacharee. the high priest of the Rania oogeo spot, greatly patronized him. The old Irabniin has two daughters, ono n grown-up girl, nd the other only nine years old. While residing t Muthra the younger girl gave out that Karishna 30 (oncof the incarnations of Vishnu, the Hindoo oil), appeared to her in a dream, and proposed a uptial alliance with her. Next day the girl was, rith great pomp, married to an idol worshipped in Hindoo temple. The ignorant and superstitious eoplejejoiced at this absurd marriage, and began ry wno'rate the girl as an inspired being. Both ac girls have barned by heart eighteen thousand onplets of tho 'Bhagwut,' a work in the Sanscrit uiguago. They have now arrived in thia city and ut up at a house in the vicinity or tho "'Gole lurwiza.' Every mornins: Hindoos of all ages nd sexes congregate there to hear tho melodious ecitations of tho two girls. Both the girls con irler themselves as dedicated to tho sorvice of th? lod Krishna; and after their daily recitations are oncluded thnv maleo no hesitation ia accepting uch presenta of money and sweetmeats a? their earcra may ehooao to give them. We havo little oubt that they have already reaped A rich harvest .on? their deluded votarioa."

In the past few months, it continues, rc Bcnroely pick up an exchange that does not hronicle the salo .if lands, Arc, to some worthy lorthcrn gentleman. Wo may thoroforo conclude hat prejudice and passion have "had their day" n circulating baso rumors of bad treatment to ?orthern immigrants and that this tide of immi? xtion, so long restrained by idle stories and ?therwiae, has turned in this direction. Wo trust hat it has, and would desire to impress upon the .eoplo of that section to investigate the advan ages Virginia offers far outreaching those of lewer States, apd assure them that worthy immi :rants will meet with a kind reception at the ianda of all Virginians.
