According to previous announce? ment, a meeting of the loyal citizens of Lexington District, irrespectivo of color or previous condition, was held at tho Court House, on tho 9th in? stant. The meeting was largely at? tended, and manifested great enthu? siasm. Judge L. Boozer waa called to tho? chair, and A. M. Boozer, Esq., re? quested to net as secretary. The chairman stated the object of the meeting in some sound, practicable and emphatic remarks, substantially as follows: The object of this meeting is, ns I understand, to take into considero*.ion tho Act of Congress, entitled "An Act to provide for the more eflicieut government of tho rebel States," passed March 2, 1807, and, also, au Act supplementary thereto, entitled "An Act supplemental to on Act en-, titled 'An Act to provide for tho moro efficient government of tho rebel States," passed March 2, 18G7, and to facilitate restoration, and to de? clare our sentiments in relation thereto. They are tho laws of the land, and must be obeyed, and, in my judgment, it is tho part of wis? dom and sound policy, ns woll ns of patriotism, tb accept their provisions in good faith, and tho sooner we signify our acceptance the better. Every day it is delayed increases the difficulty and embarrassments of re? storation. There can bo no difference of opinion as to tho importance, to us, of a speedy restoration to the Union.. There was considerable di? versity of opinion on tho subject of secession; but now there can be no difference of opinion amongst all good citizens. As for myself, I stand now where I always have on this question. Myopen, avowed and persistent opposition to the dissolu? tion of the Union is known to you all, and now I am ready and willing to adopt any and all suitable mea? sures for its speedy and permanent restoration. The chairman then proceeded to urge upon all loyal citizens the duty of registering as voters whenover an opportunity is offered, and counseled tho colored citizens as to the danger c f being led astray by demagogues. He congratulated them that they en? joyed a right in this and the other Southern States not conferred on thom in any State of tho Union out? side of New England, except in New York, where there is a property qual? ification. Here the speaker was loudly and repeatedly cheered. Tho speaker went on to address himself to the colored portion cf tho meet: ing. He told thom that they were, as yet, inferior in mental culture to the whites, but timo would bring about the proper chance in this re? spect. They must bo patient, honest, industrious, and all will come right in the end. If they are but true to themselves and the country, all will be well. At tlie conclusion of these remarks, on motion of A. M. Boozer, a com? mittee of nine were appointed, con? sisting of tho following gentlemen, viz: A. M. Boozer, S. Corley, H. M. Gross, S. H. Cooke, Wm. L. Tavlor, Hon. John C. Hope, Kev. P. R. Nor phlet, (colored,) James Rawl, (co? lored,) and J. C. Hampton, (colored,) to draft resolutions. Whilo the committee wero absent, several very interesting addresses were mado by Lieut. Col. O. H. Moore, commanding tho 6th U. S. Infantry, Andrew Worthy, (colored,) Gabriel Simpson, (colored,) and Da? niel Thompson, (colored.) Col. Mooro took occasion to say to tho colored citizens present that they had had conferred upon them a high preroga? tive; that they must endeavor to use it wit!- discretion; that they can wholly confide in thoso who had adhered nolly' to tbo Union, which had caused their deliverance and advance? ment. Listen to the counsel of these tried and patriotic citizens amongst you, and all will bo right. He was enthusiastically applauded through? out; The colored speakers who suc? ceeded Col. Mooro made very sound and patriotic remarks, and completely abashed the prejudiced disloyalists who have so ofteu made aspersions against their characters. Their re? marks were open and ardent against those- who attempted to destroy tho Union, and aro now clamoring in op? position to Congress. Thoy express? ed themselves strongly against euch. Their speeches were vehemently ap? plauded. The committee to draft resolutions reported the following, which were unanimously adopted, amid great cheering: "Whereas, the Congress of the United States, by au Aot entitled "An Act to pr?vido for the more efficient government of the rebel States," and, also, by a supplementary Act entitled "An Act supplemental to an Act entitled 'An Act to provide for tho more efficient government of the rebel States,' " passed March 2, 1867, and to facilitate restoration, has provided for tho reconstruction of the Union upon a firm, just aud permanent basis, and for tho admis? sion of tho States lately in rebelliou against the Government of the United States: Resolved, That we, tho people of Lexington District, gratefully and cordially accept tho terms offered by tho aforesaid acts, and that wo will, in good . faith, so far as wo are able, give effect thereto, aud earnestly and faithfully endeavor lo re-establish the Union of all the States. Resolved, That it is the duty of all loyal citizens to uuite in their endea? vor to restore tho Union upon the terms offered by Congress in thc acts abovo mentioned, and to this end wo hereby pledgo our earnest, sincere and undivided efforts. Resolved, That we hereby pledgo ourselves to oppose any and all efforts to prevent tho restoration of tho Union upon tho principles set forth by Congress iu tho said Acts. Resolved, That wo aro ready to co? operate with tho loyal citizens of tho State in all their endeavors to carry out tho principles of tho said Acts, and we will exert all menus in our power, to prevent the interference of disloyal men iu tho restoration of tho Union. Resolved, That it is the duty of all loyal citizens to como forward prompt? ly and register-ns votors, as eoon ns an npportunity is offered, and to carry out in good faith the objecta of Congress in tho aforesaid Acts, in or? der to restore tho Union. Resolved, That wo will support no man for a seat in tho proposed con? vention, or for any other office, who does not cordially and in good faith eudorso the principles embodied in, tho foregoing resolutions. Resolved, That an executive com? mittee of twelve-one-half, to consist of white, and the other half of colored citizens-bc appointed by the chair? man, to servo ono year, if not sooner changed *or discharged by the action of another geuornl meeting, which this committee is hereby authorized to call, whenever it is deemed expe? dient, whoso duty it shall bo to secure such nominations to fill the various offices which may be opeu, or In which vacancies may occur, as will give us a fair and full representation of tho loyal Union sentiment we hold and maintain. Resolved, That a copy of these reso? lutions bo sent to Major-General Daniel E. Sickles, and that all loyal papers be 'requested to publish tho same. After tho passage of these resolu? tions, the meeting was addressed by John C. Hope, S. Colley and T. H. Cooke, Esqs. The following gentlemen were ap? pointed as the Executive Committee, viz: A. M. Boozer, Kev. P. lt. Nor phlet, (colored,) S. Corloy, Janies Bawl, (colored,) B. J. Hayes, James E. Lowman, (colored,) Wm. S.- Tay? lor, J. C. Hampton, (colored,) K. Gross, T. A. Houston, (colored,) Dr. J. N. Boozer, and Thomas Waring, (colored.) On motion of Bev. P. ? R. Nor phlot, the meeting adjourned, after a harmonious and entirely successful sitting. L. BOOZEB, Chairman. A. M. BOOZER, Secretary. A Chicago despatch says a distiller operating at Bock Island has been cheating tho Government to a largo extent, by shipping whiskey to Chi? cago aud other points at night and on Sundays, during tho absence of tho inspectors. It has been ascer? tained that 29,000 gallons, valued at $58,000, were clandestinely disposed of in this way. He has been over? hauled by a Treasury Department agent. CROP PROSPECTS.-Tho accounts which reach ns from various sections* of the District speak of the prospect of n- largo crop of wheat. The weather for the past three weeta, with tho exception of a few days, has been quite* favorable to farming operations; and wo believe but one spirit actuates our farmers, that - of energy and a determination to do their utmost". Tho efforts which all are making to relieve the country from its embarrassed condition, caused by. th? scarcity nf money, is truly praiseworthy. With but little to encourage "a largo portion of them, they have, gone to work with disadvantages pressing on every side,- determined to moko a showing, Srovided the seasons aro good, 'hat there can be no general pros? perity until it is dug out of the ground is a foregone conclusion, and the inducements of high prices war? rant the belief that every man will do his best.-Lancaster Ledger. PAINFUL, DISAPPEARANCE.-Wo re? gret to learn that Mr. Wm. Langha, a German by birth, and for many years a resident of this District, left his homo, near Grove Station, last Saturday afternoon, and has not since been heard of, notwithstand? ing diligent search has been insti? tuted by his neighbors. Ho has been suffering for some timo from ill health. Mr. Langha is about 52 years of age, near G feet in height, and spoke tho English language with an accent peculiar to his nationality. Any information concerning him will bo gratefully received by his wife, or may be left at this office. Our friends of tho press aro earnestly requested to extend this notice. [Greenville Mountaineer. During tho masquerade ball at tho Affaires Enfrangeres, at Paris, where the Emperor and Empress were hid? den ahioug tho maskers by close fitting dominoes,.-which, as soon as discovered, wero changed, great amusement .was afforded by a young English girl, who, on passing before tho Emperor, was heard to say to her partner, "thatgcntlemnu has changed his domino three times, for I havo watched. I asked his namo, and they tell me it is the Comt'o de Ham. ?s he so great a man that ho must not be recognized?" His Majesty laughed outright, and when the young lady passed again, bowed low, to-her great amazement and confusion. WIFE % MURDERS AT THE JNoRTn. Gottfried Traibel, a musician, mur? dered his wife in Now York, on tho 16th, by cutting her throat, at their residence, No. 33 James street. Ho has not yet been arrested. Martin Cane, a man of ov.^r sixty years of age, residing in Waynesburg County, Pa., last night strack his "wife, while she was sleeping, two blow? with an axe, and afterwards committed suicide. Ho was disco? vered about ll p. m., hanging to a tree near the house. Tho doctors say that his wife can livo but a few hours. Real estato is so high in some parts' of Loudon that the purchaser now lins almost literally to cover it with gold to purchase it. In important business centres in tlia't city, the sites for recently erected buildings have cost nearly ?700 tino square yard. This is at tho rate of more than ?3,000,000 per acre, and,-as a Lon? don paper computes, it takes 7,120, 000 sovereigns, lying close together and flat, to cover an acre; so that thc price of an aero would give it an un? broken layer of gold of about one third tho thickness of a sovereign. The latest advice^ say tho Central Pacific Railroad-tho main stem of all the Eastern branchos tending bo yond the Missouri-will reach tho neighborhood of tho famous silver mines, near Virginia City, by July next, and that it will reduce tho cost of getting and separating tho oro one-half-equivalent to a saving of about three millions a year. This is good nows, as there may be a pros? pect, when it is completed through, that we may once moro finger a little of that nearly forgotten metal. Hurry up that railroad. There is now living in the South? ern portion of Camden, Lorain Coun? ty, Ohio, a Mrs. Polly Haskins, who is 115 j'onrs of age, having been born in July, 1732. When the British first landed in New London, Conn., she and her parents wero obliged to quit their home-she traveling on foot, and carrying a featherbed twen? ty mil ' s the first day. Not long since, Gov. Throckmorton issued a request to tho chief justices of the frontier Counties of Texas, that they report tho number-killed in their respective Counties by Indians. Sinco that time, tho chief justices have reported for five Counties, that 17 persons have boen killed, 12 taken captives, and $157,875 worth of pro? perty destroyed. SPECIAL NOTICES.

THE TRIUMPH OF ART! MORE TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF Heinitsh's Queen's Delight. EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS: "Tho Queen's Delight is beginning to awaken Gio attention of our physicians. Its remarkable curative power is soon in its wonderful effect upon disease. As a blood pnritler. there is no medicine liko it known to tho profossiou. A gentleman told mo that his son has been taking tho Queen's Delight, and is moro benefited by it than by any other medicine. Ho wants a dozen bottles." Extract from a letter: "It is due to you to state in this mblic manner, in order that the people m . know tho truth, that I have tried your Queen's Delight, and found it not only what you said it was-"a nure medicine"-but the best medicino I nave ever taken for eruptions and general bad health. I had an eruption all over my body, with impaired digestion and disor? dered liver, and have tried a great many medicines without any henotit. I have taken one bottle of your Queen's Delight, tho eruption has disappeared, my appetite is better, my livor and digestion is im Eloved. I nm satisfied ono or two moro ottles will cure me." Extract from a lotter: "At the close of I the war, my constitution was shattered. I could not eat, sleep or perform any duty whatovor, such .was my prostrate conon ; tion. Medicine and nu.-dieal aid I had in abundance, such was my condition up to a few months since, when I began tho uso of ydur Queen's Delight. I havo used two bottle?, my constitution is greatly im? proved, my appetite is good, enjoy refresh? ing sleep, and am able to perform "my sharo of daily labor." Extract from a letter-Wonderful effect of only one bottle: "I have- used "only a half bottle of 'Queen's Delight' for boils and eruptions o. tho skin and itching hu? mors of the'blood, which annoyed me very much. I am e ntirely cured. 1 think your medicine a valuable uno.'' A remarkable ease nf liver complaint and hoadr.cho cured hy tho use of "Heinitsh's Queen's Delight:" A lady of unquestioned wortn and reputation voluntarily gives tes? timony of the wonderful effects of thia medicine. Sho lias boen from carly years a martyr to headaches, caused by imper? fect action of tho liver, producing intense headache and pain over the eyos. Hbo has taken only four hollies, and assures us of the perfect cure it lias made. She now en? joys good health. Still another: "During last spring, I had been troubled with obstinate chills and fever, which, when cured, left my system in a wrotchod condition, blood impure, and I was afflicted with au angry, and, as I at one time thought, an incurable, cutaneous eruption over my entire body. Tho most violent remedies" suggested failed to work a euro, tint?', at tho instance <?f a friend, I tried Dr. Heinitsh's Queen's Delight. Less than two bottles eared me, leaving my skin in a licalthv condition. My general health ls as good "as ever. For such purnosos, I have, ever since my cure, unhesitatingly recommended your Queen's Delight." Don't buy any but the right kind. All genuine.
