After this address the.questlou of oral and Mar k board teaching was dhcusscd in full I by teachers and professors presents This afternoon at 4 o'clock Professor E. 8. Jovncs, of Washington and Lcc Culver- f-it v, delivered an address on teaching Eng. ben grammar, so complete In its entirety that we will not mar It by an attempt to vivo an abstract. Sutliee it to sav that the subject was treated in t he thorough and ex haustive manner characteristic of the learned lecturer. Min. Lkxixoton, October 21, 1871. Last evening the Teachers' Institute had their meeting at the Methodist church to hear nu address from the Rev. Dr. Scar?, but owing to a political meeting which was ST-'ing on at the court-house, the attendance was so small that it was determined to post pone the delivery of the address until this mornintr. Tn its place a discussion ot the question of teaching English grammar, the subject of Professor Joyne.^s lecture tn the afternoon, was entered upon by Dr. Sears, I Professor Joync*, of Washington and Lee University, and Colonel J. T. L. Preston, I of the Virginia Military Institute. The debate was nigtily interesting, Instructive, and witty. At the Courthouse speeches were made by Colonel Poague, one of the Conserva tive candidates for the Legislature, Mr. George Walker, and Major .Tames IL Dor man. The meeting was large and enthusi astic, and all the speakers concurred in de nouncing the course ot Dr. Graham, the independent candidate, who, not being nominated by the convention for reelection, has set up a howl of dissatisfaction and en tered the field on his own responsibility. The harm brought about by such u couri-e of conduct was clearly shown not so ureal j here, where the Conservative element so great Iv preponderates, but utterly perni cious as an example to the people of East ern Virginia, where the contest between Conservatives and Radicals is so close. Thi-* morning at 10 o'clock the Teachers' Institute met agaiu ut the Presbyterian lecture-room. The exercises of ttie day] were opened with an address by Major J. A. Hotclikiss, of Staunton, on the subject of teaching geography. Its interest, its im- i portance, aud tne best method of imparting a thorough knowledge of the study. This lecture evinced an intimate acquaintance I with the subject was extremely entertain- I ing. and abounded with practical bits, which will doubtless be of great utility to 1 the teachers who heard it. Dr. Sears then delivered an address ou public schools, a subject to which he has devoted his life, arguing in their favor First, that society has a ri^ht to and needs all the talent that God has given to man, and that this talent can only be de veloped by general education. Second, that this general education can I In* brought about by public schools aud in uo other way. i t hird, that if it could, that it can be j done cheaper lu public than private schools and Fourth, that it can be done better since the principle of gradation, which enables the teacher to instruct all tiie cla?s at the same time, instead of a single member, cannot l>e applied in private schools owing to their limited number aud non-cothdina tion with one another. Dr. Pendleton replied in opposition. Professor A. L. .Nelson, of Washington and Lee University, delivered a lecture on arithmetic, elucidating the fundamental rules. Mr. Jacob Fuller nude a few remarks on the manipulation of fractions alter which the Assembly adjourned. Min. Church Si*it Decider? Judge Wing tie Id on yesterday rendered a decision in the Hopewell Church case, iu Campbell, remanding the church building to the pos- j session of the Methodist Protestant mem bership. Tne case, a3 we understand it, was that the church was originally built by the Methodist Protestants for their exclu sive workmanship. Some time since a num ber of the meraoers of the church with drew from it and connected themselves with the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and endeavored to take over with them the right to the building. The re maining members resisted, and the matter was carried into court, with the re-ult above stated. Lynchburg News. I The Injunction Case? Tyson Enters a New Suit.? Lynchburg, Ya October 23, x 1*.

It seems that the moving spirits in this mat ter were citizens of Lynchburg, some of j the old clique whose* determination to inle or ruin has kept the city so far in the back ground these sapient anti-con solidationists hatched the Tyson plan and cave it being. Proceedings are to be instituted before Judge Kives, and this time these immacu late Virginians are to appear in peison in company with Mr. Tyson, to give respecta bility to the application, and to relieve it, I if possible, of some of the odium of foreign interference which was so fatal to the firstl movement. j Kumok.? There was a minor on the streets this morning that the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad and the A quia Creek line of steamers had been purchased by the Pennsylvania Cen tral Railroad Company for ?3,000.000, but the president of the road reported to be sold, who was in this city on Saturday last, knew nothing of it.? Alexandria Gazette. Suootino Affaiu.? Oil Saturday last an altercation arose at Peterstovvn between Thoiuas Dulany. and Jacob II. Peck, from mi offensive remark alleged to have beeu made by one of the parties. Landon Smith, the constable, seeing the affair about to come to blows, interfered to preserve the peace, and while standing between the par ties received a pistol buiiet discharged by Dulany at Peck. The ball shattered his colls--bone and penetrated the chest, from which we learn it could not be extracted. Mr. Smith is reported to be in a critical condition. Dulany has absconded, declar ing his purpose to shoot Peck. Au old grudge Is said to have been at the bottom of this unfortunate affair.? Monroe Register.

On Thursday of last week a well-dressed, dandified young sprig of rascality registered at the Washington House under the name of (k W. E. Prentiss, I Richmond.' He took supper, ordered a1 room, and made himself comfortable until Friday evening, when he joined the crowd of visitors which had just arrived on the evening trains, and registered under the same name at the Orange House. He took but one meal and lodged one night at this house, returning to his old quarters at the Washington. Yesterday morning he called at the OraDge House, paid his bill, and pro- ceedod to the Southside depot, intending to leave on the traiu which was then nearly ready to start. On enteriug the train he dexterously removed Colonel James M. Langhorne's watch from his pocket, but was fortunately de- tected by a porter named Elisha Ilill, who promptly notified Policeman Dawson. The policeman searched the culprit carefully, but laded to find the watch but as the porter was absolutely certain it was in his possession, the search was repeated, when the watch was found under the cushion on i his seat. Prentiss was taken in custody and marched off to the police office, where "7 1 he ww utrlpped and thoroughly examined. A gold watch and 1450 in mono? were found on his person. He was lodged In jail, and will have a preliminary* hearing before the Mio or this morning. Frentia* Ik believed to be the party who stole a valuable gold watch from Judge W. W. Marshall, of Mississippi, nt tbe Orange platform, Sunday evening. The Judge, on entering the train, hud his way obstructed by a young man very much resembling Pren tiss, and missed the watch immediately afterwards. The number of watches stolen since the opening of tho fair is known to he four? all gold am! very valuiblr one dia mond pin, worth $700, and several poekct books, the value of which is unknown. There is strong reason to believe that Pren tiss is one of a pang of four who arrived here about the opening of the fair.? Lynch burg Republican. Milk Trade with Richmond.-? A meet ing of a portion of those interested in esta blishing tbis new business wa? held on the 18th instant, according to previous notice, at the Augusta county Fair. ,7. B. Stuart, Esq., was called lo the chair and A. Koiner requested to act as secre tary. The object of the meeting was explained to be for the collection of all I he informa tion which can be obtained In relation to the establishment of a permanent and pro fitable trade in the article of milk with the city of Richmond. It was ascertained that from the quantities indicated by parties in terested that 2,000 gallons would soon be offered for sale. After a free comparison of views it was decided to obtain definite and positive as surances from the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company as to the eosts of trans portation and the accommodations which can be relied on in furtherance of this en terprise. To that end it wan Resolved That a committee consisting of Samuel JI. Bell, David Condon, and A. Koiner be appointed to lay this subject before tho railroad authorities and obtain the best terms for the accommodation of this business. The committeo wore also authorized to convene the friends of this enterprise at such time and place as they shall thick best, and report their and con clusions. A lively general interest was luauifested in this new subject ou tl.o part of many of the most substantial men along tho line of the railroad. The opinion was coniidently expressed that if the people of Richmond will favor the enterprise, il will open a new and profitable buiiuess. The Staunton and Richmond papers are requested to copy these proceedings. B. S'i'tUBT, Presideut. j A. Koiner, Secretary.

A Terrible Railroad Accident? A Mail Agent Killed and His Body Burned to Ashes.?' The mail train which left Cum berland. Mil., for Pittsbugh ut 8:40 A. M. on Friday last, consisting of one oyster car, one mail, one baggage and express car, and two passenger coaohcs, collided with a I freight train coming east at a point about sixty-nine miles west of Cumberland, by which both engines and a number of cars were badly wrecked, and the oyster car, and the mail, baggage und express car, to gether with uearly all their contents, were consumed by tire. But the most terrible, heart- sickening part of the account was that Mr. Moses Col lins, United .States mail agent on the train, bad been crushed to death, and his body almost wholly consumed in the lire which followed the disaster. The trains were running at full speed, and as they n eared each other the ahrm was sounded, but too late to avoid a head long and terrific collision. The engines reared up against each other like living an imals in conflict; the oyster-car telescoped with the mail-car, crushing and shattering It into splinters, and the stove in the mail department setting the fragments on lire, the wreck of both cars, together with the mail, baggage, and express freight, were totally consumed. The safe only of tha Adams Express Company was dragged by hooks from the burning pile, and the contents were found to be almost wholly uninjured. Not even the body of poor Col lins could be rescued, although ellbrtswere made to reach it, and bis comrades were compelled to staud by and see it consumed by the flames. Miraculous indeed was the escape of Mr. Cooke (the baggage and ex press man) and a newsboy, who were in the ill-fated car at the time. They were both knocked to the rear end of the car, from whence they made their escape, slightly in jured, by crawling out at the top, the roof having been torn oft* by the force of the col isioii." One brakemau had his leg broken, and some of the othar employes on the trains were more or less burt, out no passengers wore injured. The engineer and tiremen on both locomotives jumped from them in time to save their lives. The cause of the accident, it is said, is at ttibutable to the freight conductor, a very young man, who stales that liis watch was out of order, or had slopped, lie was out of his time lorty minutes, it is said. Mr. Collins had been recently appointed postmaster at Connellsville. and Friday's trip was to have been his last as mail agent. He leaves a wife aud family residing in Fay ette county, Penn. He was about flfty four years old. The Reign of Terror in South Caro lina Wholesale Arrests Imported t Fight with Federal Tuoots? Columbia, 1 8. C\, October 22.? There has been nothing definite received here as to the reported conflict between the citizens and the United States troops at Broad river. Parties j claiming to be In official confidence assert that the* citizens, or kuklux, met with a re pulse, though they were armed with Win chester rifles. The military, however, deemed it necessary to send for reinforce ments, which would warrant the belief that they met with a determined resist auce oia the part of the alleged kuklux. Accounts continue to state that the reign of terror increases in Spartanburg, Uniou, aud lork counties, and that the populace are tho roughly demoralized. Whole families are flyin" the State, and women aud children are so far the greatest sufl'erers by the pro clamation of martial law. Arrest of citizens still continue, until now nearly every prominent mau in tho In surrectionary counties is imprisoned and guarded by the military. Nineteen citi zens were brought here to-day and lodged in the jail. United States Mui k *1 Johnson says that about sixty more will be brought down to-morrow in charge of a stroug de tachment of troops. Cavalry is chiefly used in making raids and arrests. A private soldier has been imprisoned at Yorkville for advising citizens to fly and avoid arrest, imprisonment, and the Albany peniten tiary. Attorney-General Akerman visited Yorkville about a weeksinceand instructed the marshal, his deputies, and the troop3 as to the course to be pursued after the pro clamation of martial law. A Singular and Fatal accident. A telegram from Pittsburg, Penn., reports that a young woman living near Oil City, while engaged in wringing out a dre.-s sne had just washed, ran a needle through tho palm of her hand, from the effecuof which she died in five minutes. She Is said to bave been in entire health at the time of the accident. m The Tobacco Tax.-?
