In discussing the nomination of the next Republican candicate for Governor, the Republican of this city says: If there is any man in the State whom all candidates consider their most dangerous competitor, and tbe people almost univernally believe to be tbe most available and fit, it is scarcely necessary to name him before hand, but every delegate should go to the State Convention prepared to give him the unanimous vote of the Convention. This is eminently correct and sensible. It expresses a good deal of political wisdom But we doubt if it will be accepted by a class of Republican politicians in this State who have heretofore claimed the right to “manage the party,” and whose pretensions in that way are by no means abandoned yet. There is such a man as the Re publican describes, one who rises above all other candidates in the 4 estimation of the people, and with whom, in the absence of any great national issue, success is certain Of course we refer to Gen. Benjamin Har rison. He was the most formidable candi date in 1872, but a combination of these same politicians defeated him, and Gen. Browne was nominated. Gen Browne was defeated too. Bad Gen. Har rison been the candidate then he would have been the Governor now’. Gov. Hen dricks with all his popularity and all the aid he received from the Liberal Republicans and from the temperance element would have gone down before Gen. Harrison. The party recognized it when it waitoo late, and ever since the popular sentiment in his favor has been increasing with a rapidity some of the managers don’t like. The unanimity with which he was selected to preside over the last State Convention and the enthusiasm with which he was received are straws that plainly show the direction the popular current has ta ken. The Democrats have not a man in the State who can beat Gen; Harrison in a square canvass and under ordinary cir-

cumstances

While General Harrison’s qualifications for the Executive chair are universally conceded and whila his availability is generally recognized, he will not walkover the course in the event of his becoming a candidate. It is well known that the influence of Senator Morton was thrown against him in 1872. While that gentleman did not perhaps openly work against him, his political friends did, and it has

message will be delivered.

A telegram from Victoria, British Colum bia, says that the election in that province resulted in the Opposition returning fourteen members, the Independents six and the government five. Nine seats filled by the Ministerialists in the late House have‘been won by the Opposition, and one seat held by the Opposition has been lost by them Louis and William Renk, aged 17 and 15 years, having fled from home, in New York, on Satunlay, sent a forged letter to their father calling him from home. They then forced their way into the house, intimidated their brothers with knives and pisto s, robbed their mother of her pocketbook and some valuable jewelry, and then left. They

have been arrested

A letter from Russia states that the government is engaged in a vigorous raid against the Socialist societies. Arrests have been made in numerous places, among others at Moscow, Fula, Odessa, Riaxan and St Petersburg. In one village near Moscow thirty workingmen have been seized by the police Some of the prisoners resisted arrest, and one M. Royatcheff, believed to be a leader of the socialist movement, defended himself so desperately that he had to be killed. The police are ported as being under the impression that they hare struck a blow at the verv stronghold and center of the movement which will put an effective stop to its further

spread.

Several pastors in Washington of different denominations, who were apprehensive that tbe Government was about to abandon its peace policy.toward the Indians, called on the President yesterday to express the conviction that such a course would greatly disappoint Christian people all over the «mntry. and be a blow to the cause of Christianity throughout the world. The President, with great promptness and precision, replied that he did not regard the peace policy a failure, aua that it not only would not be abandoned while he occupied that place, but that it was his hope that during his ad ministration it would be so firmly established as to become the necessary policy of his successors? In that he might posMhlj be

mistaken.

The London Times this morning has a leader on the utterances of the Official Gazette. of St Petersburg, to the effect that steps ratiH be taken by the foreign cabinets to strengthen confidence so as to enable the Porte to fui^ll bfs promises! The Times says: “We presume Russia thinks that a conference of the great powers should review the treaty of Par.? and examine into the state of the Turkish Empire. If a merely verbal pressure is all she basin view, it can be more saf *ly applied by dispatches than by a conference. If she aims at a more

that the Morton wing secured the nomination of Tom Browne. The same gentlemen are as much opposed to Mr. Harrison now as they were then and they see his rapidly growing popularity with great regret The fact is Gen. Harrison is too positive a man to suit Senator Morton. He has opinions of his own with the courage to express them, and he might become a dangerous rival. What the Morton wing warft is a man who will play second fiddle to the Senator, who will never sneeze except whe^ the Senator takes snuff, and who will be always so much overshadowed that no possible comparison can be made between the two. That is just the kind of a man Gen. Harrison is not, and we predict with the utmost confidence that this element will be found opposing Harrison to the bitter end and attempting to nominate some more facile man of lighter caliber—Lon Sexton for instance. There is one contingency in which this will not occur, and that is in case Gen. Harrison should prove bo strong in the Convention that opposition will be fruitless. Then we may expect to see the office-holders and their friends chime in with great unanimity in his support, and go in with a “hurrah boys, swearing they always wanted Harrison. But for all that no stone will be left unturned to defeat him, or we are mnch mistaken. The influence of the Journal, while it is not likely to take an active part, will probably be mildly exerted against him, although in 1872 one great argument bad by the ring to defeat him was that he was the Journal’s candidate, and “Pink Fish back must be beaten." This is the present aspect of affairs. We shall wait for the maneuverings with much interest There are likely to be some very pretty jobs of pipe-laying and wire-pulling, and a few slates may be

broken.

San Francisco swells wear the “Ralston hat.” Miss Braddon is still thinking of coming to this country on a reading tonr. The New York Graphic calls Sankey “song bird,” and Moody “a bird of pray.” Ben Butler is growing old fast. And they do say the poetical fellow is becoming fat. “Union is strength, but not when it comes to uniting water with gin,” declares an old toper. No 1(89 than 15,875 pensioners of the war of 1812 still draw their allowances unflinch ingly. Rev. Mr. Talmage* counsels Brother Moody to put more brimstone in his talk to sinners. There were 20,000,000 clay pipes imported into this country last year, mostly from Glasgow. Joaquin Miller is to lecture in Washington shortly. He gives what may be called a Sierras comic effort.

Theodore Tilton had a rose-colored curtain bung behind him on the platform at McCormick’s Hall, “to give light^to his countenance.” An opera bouffe, tbe libretto of which is founded on the institution of Mormonism in America, is soon to be produced in Vienna. The officers of the Coast Survey have erected a weather signal on the summit of Mount Shasta, California, 14,400 feet above the level of the sea. The first volumne of Mr. Bryant’s “History bf the United States” is about ready for publication. The poet has the assistance of Mr. Sidney Howard Gay in the preparation of the work. It is estimated that the great bridge.^ chiefly for railroad purposes, built in tie United States daring the last ten years have cost $150,000,000. The West has built the greatest number. Victor Emmanuel has one of the finest show armies in the world; even the uniforms of his troops are operatic; and the bersaglieri look like so many Fra Diavolos. This from a correspondent of the Nation. The original “Star Spangled Banner,” the one that waved over Fort McHenry and inspired Key to compose that song, is on board tbe United States steamer Tallapoosa, at Portsmouth, N.

The Harvard students who tried to blow up University Hall with nitro-glycerine, are disgusted with the weakness of the compound in question. Instead of landing the old building in the moon, the nitro-glycer-ine only shook the walls up a little and broke several hundred windows in town. All the English newspaper correspondent* sent along to report the Prince of Wales’s trip intolndia have been given the “grand bounce,” as reporters would call it, and ordered not to depend upon His Royal Highness for transportation and other favors. Dr. Russell is the oMy one who will not have to “shift for himself.” The New York Nation protests against the posthumous puffing which Mr. Frederick Hudson, formerly managing editor of the New York Herald, is receiving. It recalls the fact that Mr. Hudson was a man with, out education and of little literary ability; and he served as Lienterant under the elder Bennett when the position “required for the fulfillment of its duties the daily divestment of self respect and of all the qualities which makes life worth having.” “A Good Deal Discouraged.” [Cincinnati Letter.] “Is the rag baby dead T* I asked a prominent hard money republican here.

0TOWMWALL JACKSON'S DMA.TM-MMD. laterestt <«c M*iuftuitic«*ees of tke Great Cauferterar e G »*»era . I Writer in the Richmcnd Dispatch.] A gallant gentleman who served on the staff of General A. P. Hill has recently given me a somewhat new version of the wounding of Jackson, which has never been in print, and which I will give in detaiL While Gen. Rodes’s division was pressing the enemy in line of battle A. P. Hill’s division was moving in column to their support and General Hill and his staff to the front to assist in relieving the confusion which had necessarily ensued from charging through the thick undergrowth. After the pursuit had ceased and Hill’s division was moving forward to relieve Rodes the enemy opened a very severe fire of artillery from some thirty pieces; and just after this Hill met Jackson in the turnpike and received from him the characteristic order, twice repeated, and with Jackson’s peculiar wave of the hand in the direction indicated: “Press them and cut them off from the United States ford.” Hill replied: ‘General, I am entirely unacquainted with the topography of this country. Have yon an officer who could aid me?” Jackson then directed Captain Boswell, of his staff, to report to Gen. Hill, and he himself rode on down the road through the lines, and about fifty to seventy-five yards in front of them. My informant thinks that there was with Jackson at this time none of his staff, and only one of the signal corps; but it would seem, from other accounts, that he was at least joined soon after by Captain Wilbourne and Lieutenant Morrison, of his staff The contignity of the Confederate lines to the Federal lines at this time was shown by the fact that some of Lane’s brigade and Hill’s corps brought in a- Federal Colonel, who said that he stepped in front of his lines and only came a few feet before he found himself in ours. * As soon as General Hill saw Jackson ride in front of his lines he felt it his duty, as a subordinate, to join bim. and accordingly he also rode forward accompanied by several of his staff and couriers. When the firing first began the party were sitting quietly on their horses looking in the direction of the enemy’s lines, and eagerly listening at the clatter of tbe axes felling timber, and other noises indicating their movements. A smattering fire commenced on the light,possibly in response to one from the enemy, and immediately the brigade in front of which Jackson’s party were quietly sitting on their horses, opened fire upon them with the most fatal results. The party at this time consisted of General Jackson, who received three terrible wounds in the arm and hand, and whose horse dragged him under the bough of a tree and lacerated his face terribly. .Captain Wilbourne and Lienienant Morrison, who saved himself from being carried into Ihe enemy’s lines by his frantic horse, by throwing himself to the ground and suffering severe bruises; General Hill, who saved himself by jumping to the ground and lying there till the firing was over; Colonel William H. Palmer, whose horse was killed under him; Captain Forbes, a gallant Quartermaster, who was serving as a volunteer aid on Hill’s staff, who was instantly killed; Major Conway Howard.whose horse carried him into the enemy’s lines; Captain Murray Taylor, whose horse was killed with five bullet-wounds; Sergeant Tucker, who was captured, and couriers Muse severely wounded and Saunders

killed.

Dr. Hunter, McGuire, in an account of Jackson’s last hours, says: About daylight on Sunday morning Mrs. Jackson informed him that bis recovery was very doubtful, and that it was better that he should be prepared for the worst. He was silent for a moment, and then said, “It will be infinite gain to be translated to heaven.” He advised his wife in the event of his death to return to her father’s house and added, “You have a kiud and good father, but there is no one so kind and good as your Heavenly Father.” He still ex pressed a hope of his recovery, but requested her, if he should- die, to have him buried in Lexington, in the Valley of Virginia His exhaustion increased so rapidly that at eleven o’clock Mrs. Jackson knelt by his be and told him that before the sun went down he would be with his Saviour. He replied “Oh, no. You are frightened, my child Death is not so near. I may yet get well.” She fell over the bed. weeping bitterly, and told him again that the physicians said there was no hope. After a moment’s pause he asked her to call me. “Doctor, Anna in forms me that you have told her that I am to die to-day; is it so?” When he was answered he turned his eyes toward the ceiling and gazed for a moment or two, as if intense thought, then replied: “Very good very good, it is all right. He then tried to comfort bis almost heart-broken wife, and told her be bad a good deal to say to her, but he was too weak. Colonel Pendleton came into the room about one o’clock, and he asked him, “Who whs preaching at the headquarters to-day?” When told that the wliole array was praying tor him he replied: “Thank God! they are very kind.” He said: “It is the Lord’s day my wish is fullfilled. I have always desired to die on Sunday.” -Tlis mind now began to fail and wander, and he frequently talked as if in command upon the field, giving orders in his old way, then the scene shifted and h^ was at the mess table in conversation with members of his staff; now with his wife and child; now at prayers with his military family. Occasional intervals of reaim of his mind would appear, and during one of them I offered him some brandy and water, but he declined it, saying, “It will only delay my departure and do no good; I want to preserve my mind to the last if possible.” About half-past one he was told that he had but two hours to live, and he answered again feebly but firmly: “Very good; it is all right.”' A few moments before he died he cried out in his delirium: “Order A. P. Hill to prepare for action I” “Pass the infantry to the front rapidly!” “Tell Major Hawks” —then stopped, leaving the sentencp unfinished. Presently a smile of ineffable s? ness spread itself over his pale face, and he said quietly and with an expression as if of relief, “Let os cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees;” and then, without pain or the least straggle, his spirit passed from earth to tbe God who gave it.
