WTash ig(on Star of 2dlh ult. Letter from Gen. Blair. The Raleigh Standard intersperses through out the paper, between almost every article, an imaginary quotation from the Democratic can didate for Vice-President, as follows : "Let us have war Gen. Blair. It seems that another Radical editor, with as coual disregard for the truth, has been placing the same words in the mouth of Gen. Blair. In response to a letter of , a gentleman calling his attention to it, he replies as follows, which we copy from the Atlanta In telligencer: Fort Sanders, Wyoming Territory, ) August IS, 1868. ) Col. R. A. Alston, Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Colonel: I have received your note in regard to the misrepresentations of the carpet bag editor at Atlanta.

The following card appeared in the Washing ton Chronicle of last week : Messrs. Editors Daily Morning Chronicle: Your issue of to-day contains an article un der the caption of "Rosecrans' Mission to the White Sulphur Springs," unkind in its tone and temper, and uutrue in its assertions of fact. If you mean to deal fairly, permit me through your columus to say to your readers and to ail ' who love our country mat my .-mission was uue , of my own conception, and was inspired by a j most earnest desire lor the weltare ol the nation for which I am as willing to lay down my life as any who live beneath our flag. No party had auything to do with it no individual. I alone am responsible, and any information you may have received to the contrary is erroneous. W. S. Rosecrans. . Willard's Hotel, August 29, 18G8. Washington Items. The Vermont election on the 1st intt., has re sulted in the success of the Republicans by a largely increased major ty over that of last year. Returns from the State indicate a Republican majority of 27,000 for Governor sonic say 30,000. The vote is the heaviest thrown since 1840. Jno. T. Hoffman has been nominated as the Democratic candidate for Governor of New York. The Democratic State Convention of 3Jass achusctts eleven hundred delegates present has nominated John Q. Adams, of Quinecy, for Governor. Commissioner Rollins received a dispatch from New York, last night, that a warrant had been issued against him at a late hour in the after noon. The warrant had not been served. Rol lins telegraphs that he will not appear personally, or by counsel, in New York, to-morrow. Har land. Deputy Commissioner, also, will ignore the warrant tor him, should it be served. Rollins disclaims any idea of compromise regarding Supervisors; the law makes it his duty to nomi nate them. The excitement in official circles is intense, with increased bitterness of feeling. It is stated, on good authority, that the President and McCulloch disavow any active participation in the New York proceedings against the Com missioner and his Deputy, Harland. General Schcnck is expected here to join Senator Morgan and confer with him relative to a September session of Congress. The impres sion generally is that they will decide that it is inexpedient lor Congress to couvene. m m The Trade of New York wjth the South. A few days ago the following paragraph ap peared in the Brooklyn Union, a Radical paper: "We are assured, on what seems very good authority, that a meeting of the leading dry goods firms-of New York was held yesterday afternoon, at which it was resolved that they would sell no more goods to merchants in the Southern States, except for cash, during the pres ent season." The New York Journal of- Commerce, refer- ring to the above. says "It turns out now that the representation is wholly false. We have inquired personally of "the leading dry goods firms of New York," and they declare that they never heard of this meet ing until this paragraph was published, and that they propose to make no change whatever iu re lation to their custom in the Southern States' Terrible Earthquake in Callao. Private advices from Panama, under d ile of August 21st, announces a great earthquake in Peru, as follows : "A fearful earthquake took place iu Callao on the 13th instant, which lasted seven minutes. No lives were lost, but many houses were injured. At 7 p. m., the sea retired for one hundred yards; ou returning, the water rose ten feet above the usual level. Great fears were enter tained that Callao would be completely inundated. At 12 o'clock the mole and wharf were com pletely covered, the sea rushing into the lower part of the city. The town was completely de serted, the population having fled, panic-stricken, to the interior. At last accounts (14th) the worst was over, but great alarm prevailed in the community for the safety of their property. Shipping had not suffe red when the steamer left." Homicide The usually quite community of Uethel, iu this District, was startled on Satur day evening last by one of those unfortunate events which has east a gloom over the hearth stones of many in its midst.

Destructive Fire at Saratoga Springs. Saratoga. Sept. 1. The Exchange Hotel and several buildings adjoining were destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. An eagle carried off a small boy at Winona, Miss., the other day, dropping him from the height of half a mile or so. A New Orleans woman put a charcoal furnace in her bedroom to drive ut the inosqmitoes, and succeeded in suffocatiug her family. North Carolina News. Judge Brooks of the U. S. Dist. Court, rendered a rather important decision during the recent session of the Court at Asheville. We clip from the News : "Two highly respectable gentlemen were un der indictment for perjury, in taking the oath for registered voters, after having been J ustices of the Peace before and during the war. J udge Brooks held that the indictments could not be sustained that they were Magistrates, whose jurisdiction was limited to their county, and not "judicial officers" in the meaning of the Recon struction Acts; and that they., with similar in cumbents of local offices, (his Honor instanced County Solicitors,) are not "banned" by those Acts. In compliance with this intimation from the Bench, the District Attorney entered a nolle pros." dismissed the matter. Dry the Fruit. Now that distilling is prohibited, the 'best thing the farmers can do with their fruit, is to dry it and send it to mar ket in that state. It will fetch something, and that is better than losing the apples and peaches entirely. General Hill. A Louisville paper learns that it is probable General D. II. Hill will deter mine to locate in Kentucky, and associate him self with Rev. B. II. McCovvn in the manage ment of the Forest Home Academy. A negro boy, only 14 years of age, killed a young negro girl, with a butcher knife, in the streets of Newbern, on Friday last. The diffi culty grew out of a dispute about one cent. 1 Trinity Colleoe.

The Judiciary. V.vtcact. from an address delivered bu Wm. j Eaton, Jr., at Davidson College, in July. 1859. 'I fear that some of the States have had ju dicial demagogues who enter the excited arena of party, soil the ermine by canvassing for their seats, and have an eye to their own prospects of promotion more than to their duty, while dispen sing, or rather pretending to dispense, justice from the bench. I hope that such characters are rare, and that no part of America will. ever know many oi them. Whatever indications oi degeneracy may be found among the States of this Union, over whatever scenes the patriot may blush or weep, God in his infinite mercy forbid that the temple of justice shall be desecrated, or that the humblest of those who minister at its shrine shall forget their exalted and sacred du ties! Heaven forbid that pollution shall reach the sanctuary where liberty and life must fly for protection! The people of America cannot too highly appreciate the importance of an able, learned, upright -and impartial judiciary, one which shall command universal respect, and deserve and enjoy the entire confidence of our citizens. -Without such a judiciary we have no adequate shield aud safeguard for our dearest and best rights. Every man, woman and child throughout this wide expanse of States and Ter ritories has a strong, direct and immediate per sonal concern in the proper administration of justice. If the judiciary is lowered iu merit and qualifications, in precisely the same proportion is impaired our security for life and everything which makes life worth having. Our courts of judicature ought to afford an asylum far beyond, the reach of the storms which sweep over the political world, and the limpid stream of justice ought never to be defiled by the prejudices and passions which grow out of the party contests of the day. Our judges ought always to be men of superior talents and acquirements, of high moral worth and inflexible integrity, and by all means men of spotless purity in the paths of pri vate life. Marshall, Wythe, Kent, Iredell and Gaston were models of judicial excellence, who honored the ermine by their talents, learning and virtues, more than they were honored by its stainless robes." Election of Judges in S. C.
